donna : you confessed to the police , and now you 're saying you only did it to protect me . owen : i did n't do it . i did not try to kill your husband . donna : and again , why should i believe this lie ? owen : because it 's the truth , i swear . donna : oh , and i 'm just supposed to believe you . my god , what -- you -- you tell me it 's the truth , and i 'm supposed to believe you ? do you think i 'm an idiot ? i guess you would , because i - i hired you , and i brought you into my home . i trusted you . well , all that ends today , owen . i 'm gon na see you behind bars . [ scene_break ] katie : ( sighs ) i do n't want to think about ending this pregnancy . nick : well , neither do i , but we have to . katie : the baby will be fine . nick : well , we do n't know that for sure . katie : i will be fine . nick : the doctor would n't have us reading this if he really thought it was safe . do you understand what 's going on here ? having this baby could be fatal for you , i 'm not gon na let that happen . [ scene_break ] ( machines beeping ) ( sniffles ) rick : bridget told me . stephanie : i 'm as much responsible as anyone else is for this happening . rick : why would you say that ? stephanie : well , because i thought i was being so noble and self - sacrificing supporting his marriage to donna . i should have trusted my instincts and fought it . rick : yeah , but donna did n't have anything to do with this . it was the , um , the , uh -- the assistant guy , owen . stephanie : trust me . he did n't act alone . [ scene_break ] ( telephone rings ) ( rings ) charlie : why do you keep going over that report ? the guy confessed . it 's a slam dunk . almost too good to be true . lt . baker : yeah , exactly . that 's what i 'm afraid it is . charlie : see that hot dog you eatin ' ? it 's gettin ' to your brain , pops . ( chuckles ) the kid gave us everything we need . few more perps like that , i 'll be at the golf course all day , phonin ' it in . lt . baker : well , i have a couple of questions . charlie : why does n't that surprise me ? what about ? lt . baker : owen knight and his relationship with donna forrester . [ scene_break ] owen : you know i could n't have done this , donna . that 's why you 're here . donna : no , i 'm here to tell you how much i hate you . owen : would you rather you be in here instead of me ? 'cause i could have easily let that happen . donna : oh , you tried by planting the capsules in my bedroom . owen : oh , come on , that makes a lot of sense . then why would i confess ? donna : because your whole ugly plan was going south . you know , you may cut a deal by confessing , but you are still gon na be here a long long time . you know , i - i ca n't believe i even trusted you . owen : you trusted me because you knew you could . donna : i trusted you because i was a fool . stephanie 's right . this is my fault for bringing you into our lives . now how am i supposed to live with myself ? the man i love more than anything else in this world -- and i may have killed him . and it 's all because of you , owen . you . [ scene_break ] charlie : so what 's stuck in your craw about owen knight and the forrester lady ? lt . baker : it does n't add up . charlie : two plus two does n't equal four ? the guy gave us the goods . he did n't even want a lawyer . lt . baker : and does n't that strike you as just a little bit strange ? charlie : a potential killer is n't a paragon of logic . lt . baker : okay , so he falls for the sexy heiress ... charlie : mm - hmm . lt . baker : wants to get the old man out of the way . he 's gon na fill him up with potassium chloride and then just sail into the sunset with donna . is that the way you have it planned ? charlie : that 's the plan . except it did n't work 'cause eric forrester is still alive . lt . baker : what about the capsules ? he plants them in the drawer of the woman that he supposedly loves . how does that even make sense ? charlie : i 'm workin ' on that . lt . baker : yeah . uh - huh . [ scene_break ] ( machines beeping ) rick : why , stephanie ? why would anybody do this to such a good man ? stephanie : i think maybe money . rick : he never hurt anyone . he did n't deserve this . stephanie : no , he did n't . we know that . your father 's as good and gentle a man as i 've ever known in my life . rick : look , i 'm sorry . i wish i could stay here and chat , but i have to go to work . stephanie : no , no . go head . i 'll stay with your dad . rick : thank you . stephanie : ( sighs ) ( machines beeping ) stephanie : if lud -- love alone could bring you back , make you sit up and open up your eyes , it would . but it ca n't . it just ca n't . and as much as i 'd like to believe that and have faith in that , i -- i 'm sorry this happened to you . i 'm so sorry . but i promise you one thing . whoever did do this to you will come to justice , and i will make them pay . i promise you , eric . [ scene_break ] owen : if i did this , then i deserve to pay . donna : well , that 's the first thing you 've said that we agree on . owen : okay , fine . you know what ? hold onto that . but i want you to think about something else . you are in danger . donna : oh , not anymore now that you 're out of my life . owen : oh , donna , just hear me out . whoever did this to eric is still out there , and they 're gon na set their sights on you next . donna : oh , my god , you are trying to scare me into depending on you . you just -- you do n't stop , do you ? you just -- you just want me to believe this . owen : you know , i do n't care what you think about me . just listen to my words . somebody tried to kill eric , and it was n't me . and if i go down for this crime , i can live with that . but i can not live with watching you suffer the same fate . all right ? you need to be on your guard . hire extra security , because whoever it is might still be out there . now i ca n't protect you in here , and neither can eric , and you 've got ta protect yourself . [ scene_break ] katie : nothing is going to happen to me , nick . nick : well , you do n't know that . you just had a heart transplant , and now you 're pregnant . there are risks here , you know ? you ca n't ignore that . katie : i was n't supposed to live , but i did , and now i 'm pregnant with your child , and that 's a miracle , and i - i have to believe that -- that god or fate or whatever would not want me to go through all this just to have it end . nick : losing you is not an option . katie : i need you to have some faith , just a little bit of faith , okay ? can you do that ? [ scene_break ] ( telephone rings ) charlie : so you really are n't buying owen knight 's story , are you ? lt . baker : why did he leap to confess ? he 's got legal smarts . he knows we have no evidence against him . just -- it just does n't make sense . charlie : pops , we have a confession . a confession . lt . baker : yeah , it could be a confession . it could be something else . charlie : like what ? lt . baker : a cover - up . [ scene_break ] pam : eric was poisoned ? stephanie : potassium chloride . that 's what brought on the heart attack . pam : oh ! you poor , dear , sweet man . who could have done this to you ? stephanie , it had to be the hot tamale . did they arrest her ? stephanie : no . pam : no ? why not ? stephanie : they arrested her assistant , owen . pam : why owen ? stephanie : he confessed , even though they found -- the police found the potassium chloride upstairs in her master bedroom in the lingerie . pam : now wait a second . and then they still did n't arrest her ? ( scoffs ) what do you make of that ? stephanie : i think owen and donna are in it together . [ scene_break ] owen : donna , is this making sense to you ? donna : if i 'm in danger , it 's because of you . and you 're locked up , thank god . owen : i 'm not the threat . donna : oh , really ? then -- then who ? owen : look , i do n't know . look , honey , you 've got -- donna : do n't -- do n't you dare call me that . owen : ( sighs ) look , i 'm not gon na lie 'cause i am scared . i have never been to jail , but it 's better me than you . whoever planted that stuff in your bedroom is out to frame you , and they 're not gon na stop . look , get help from marcus . look , make him stay at the house with you . he -- he was wrong about me and that bottle of gin , but he loves you , and he is a smart guy , and he will protect you . brooke -- you can -- you can count on her , too . you -- donna : stop . stop . stop . why -- why -- why are you saying this ? why are you just -- are you trying to confuse me ? owen : just please listen to me . if i was the one who poisoned eric , then why would i have fought to keep him on life support ? if i planted those pills , why would i later confess to the crime ? why would i do that ? cause i did n't plant those pills , but i did confess to protect you , because otherwise , you would be the one in here , and i could n't live with that . god , please , donna . please , i am begging you . for your own safety , please believe me . [ scene_break ] nick : i have faith . i 'm filled with faith . but i also have this . katie : i do n't want to terminate this pregnancy . nick : well , i do n't want to either . but if something 's gon na happen to you -- katie : then you 'll raise the child with bridget . nick : oh , please . katie : nick , she would do it . she -- she would n't turn her back on this child , and you 'll be wonderful parents . nick : would you just stop talking like this ? because you are not going to die . katie : i do n't want to die . i have more reason to live now than ever before . this baby is a part of you . it may be the only part that i 'll ever have , and i do n't want to give that up . nick : well , here we are . katie : yeah , here we are . nick , please , do this for me . nick : is n't there something i could do that 's a lot easier ? katie : ( sighs ) no . nick : all right . ( sighs ) i 'll go along with this . but if this starts to go south , if there are any complications -- katie : there wo n't be . nick : but you do n't know that . katie : i know that i have your love and support , and right now , that 's enough . [ scene_break ] pam : ( whispering ) stephanie , you are on to something . donna and owen -- they 're very close , you know ? stephanie : have you seen something ? pam : have i ever . stephanie : well , we 've got to get him to admit that then . we 've got to get him to admit that she 's involved with him in this . pam : well , yeah , but how are we gon na do that ? stephanie : i do n't know . but i 'm gon na find out . pam : steph , do n't let them weasel their way out of this . if they 're in this together , believe me , they 've got it all planned out . stephanie : well , they were very foolish to think that i 'd ever let them get away with something like this . ( machines beeping ) stephanie : eric , i know you can hear me . i know you trust me , and i will not let you down . i promise . [ scene_break ] owen : donna , please tell me that you are hearing me , and this is starting to make sense . donna : how can i believe you ? how can anyone in their right mind believe you ? you confessed to a murder rap to protect me ? owen : what does that tell you ? donna : it tells me that you 're lying . or -- or that you 're crazy . or maybe both . owen : there is a third possibility . donna : oh , and what is that ? owen : i love you , donna . i -- i love you . donna : ( sighs ) owen : look it . i have been asking myself the same thing . but i mean , who knows why a person falls in love ? maybe it 's your kindness or -- or you 're -- how sweet you are , how -- how deeply that you care for eric . you are beautiful . you 're sweet , and -- and you 're loyal . donna : stop . stop . stop . stop ... owen : look i know -- donna : saying this . owen : i know that you do not feel the same way about me , and i 'm not asking you to . donna : you would sacrifice your life , your freedom for a woman that has a husband ? who 's in love with him ? owen : i know . i 'm a fool . i 'm a fool , and believe me , from where i 'm standing right now , i definitely feel like one . but i did n't have a choice . donna : no , no . no , you always have a choice . owen : not when you feel the way that i do . when those police officers found that evidence in your bedroom , i knew exactly where this was headed , and i did n't even think . i did n't even have to . my first instinct was to protect you . donna : that 's a big price to pay . owen : is there any price too high when you love someone ? you 'd give your life for eric , would n't you ? donna : ( scoffs ) if you 're telling me the truth , and you know how i feel about eric , how could you ever think that i 'd help you ? owen : i 'm not asking you to help me . i am just asking for you to be aware of what is out there . look , donna , your room was ransacked . you had lingerie strewn all over the place . you may have forgotten , but i have n't . donna : oh , god . oh , my god . it 's true . owen : oh , good , you 're listening to me . look , if something happens to you because you do n't believe me , i -- look , i do n't even want to think about that , all right ? donna , are you hearing me ? you 're hearing me , right ? come on , you 've got ta believe me . do not let your guard down . you ca n't . do whatever it takes . come on . tell me that you will . donna : god -- oh , my god , you 're telling the truth . it 's true . you did n't try to kill eric . oh , my god , that sacrifice that you made for me -- owen : look , none of that means a thing if you are not okay . donna : ( gasps ) owen : donna , are you -- are you listening to me ? donna : oh , my god , you -- you -- you should n't -- you should n't be here if you 're -- you 're here because of me . owen : listen to me . that does n't matter . what is important is that you do not leave here alone . come on , donna , promise me that you will make some calls before you leave the police station . come on , seriously . whoever it is that is out there that did this , might be out there waiting for you . seriously . please tell me ... guard : take your hands off her . owen : that you 'll do that . come on , donna , make the call . do n't go -- do n't leave here alone . guard : let 's go . owen : call them , donna . make the call . donna : oh ! owen : be on your guard . hire extra security , because whoever it is might still be out there . come on , donna , make the call ! be on your guard . make the call ! whoever it is might still be out there . make the call ! make the call ! be on your guard .	katie will not listen to nick on the subject of terminating this pregnancy . he tells her that she is a heart transplant patient . there will be risks with this pregnancy , she can not ignore that . she confides that she was n't supposed to live , yet she did . and now she is pregnant . in her book , that is a miracle . she feels a baby is the only part of him she will ever have . and should something happen to her , then he and bridget will raise the child . she just needs him to have a little bit of faith . reluctantly he goes along with this . donna is skeptical . she tells owen that she will see him stay behind bars if this is true . owen admits he confessed to trying to kill eric , but he did it to protect donna . she has got to believe him and still be on guard for the real culprit . he has her in tears and fearing of what might be out there to cause more harm . stephanie visits eric while rick is there . she feels responsible since she did n't trust her first instinct and instead just backed off to let donna have eric . she says trust her , owen did not act alone . she tells a comatose eric she is so sorry he is going through this . but she vows whoever did it will pay , there will be justice as she will see to that . she fills pam in on the details and of course pam jumps to the conclusion that it is the hot tamale , donna . she thinks both donna and owen are in this together and advises stephanie not to let them weasel their ways out of this . stephanie speaks to eric again and swears she will not let him down . lunching at his desk , lt . baker chows down on his hotdog and later a donut while son charlie munches on a healthy salad and they discuss the absurdity of the case the new guy in town falls for the sexy heiress . only one thing in the way , her husband so he fills him with potassium chloride .
owen : is there something wrong ? jackie : ( sighs ) forgive me . i know you will . jackie : aloha . ( laughs ) owen : oh , my goodness . you have been hard at work . jackie : ( giggles ) owen : wow . this looks great . jackie : ( sighs ) i 'm glad you like it . i - i knew you would . owen : but wait a second . is this what you wanted to tell me back at the office ? this ? huh ? maybe you want to go back to hawaii ? jackie : oh , darling , i would love to . owen : well , you did n't have to do all of this here . i mean , come on . if it 's hawaii that you want , hawaii you will get . come on . i 'll make the plans right now , hmm ? jackie : okay , but first , there 's something that i need to tell you .

( machine beeps ) katie : you give him a whack . it 's `` whack - a - mole . `` ( laughs ) bill : it 's supposed to be therapeutic ? katie : yes , exactly . see ? that 's why i got it for you . because then whenever you feel like insulting someone or ruining a reputation , or taking over a company , you just whack a mole instead . bill : well , i guess i 'll be wearing this thing out . katie : my thought exactly . give it a try . bill : you want me to do this ? katie : yes , of course . you 'll like it . bill : okay .

( sighs ) look , all i wanted to do was be there for her . i care about her . unfortunately for me , your mother is in love with owen . [ scene_break ] owen : okay , so this must be important , because it 's not very often that i get a luau . oh , my god . something smells good . who taught you how to cook hawaiian food , huh ? jackie : oh , for goodness sake . do n't be silly . me cook ? i called a caterer . owen : ooh .

[ scene_break ] jackie : i love you . i know i do n't tell you enough . it 's just -- it 's harder for me to express than you , i think . oh , how did we get here ? how did we get here ? i mean , when i think where we came from -- that initial immediate attraction , who thought it would last ? but you know what ? ( laughs ) i thought it was just gon na be fun . owen : mm , what are you saying ? that it is n't anymore ? hmm ? hmm ? jackie : ( chuckles ) i guess i 'm shocked that it still is fun . i marvel at us . it started off as such a lark , really . i mean , it 's -- it 's ended up as so much more , has n't it ? i mean , everyone was against us , and you won them over , no one more than me . we 're an unlikely pair . but it works . owen : yes . it definitely does . you and me . and nothing 's ever gon na change that . jackie : oh , god , i 'm glad you feel that way , because i do , too . owen : ( sighs ) jackie : i do , too . [ scene_break ] bill : ha ! katie : yeah , very good .

[ scene_break ] whip : i 'm not gon na deny it , nick . jackie 's charming . she 's smart . she 's gorgeous . i would definitely be knocking on her door if she were available . nick : well , she 's not . so please , no more dramas . whip : thanks . nick : huh ? look , obviously , owen cares about her . i 'm her son . that 's all that matters to me . actually , i do n't think i 've ever seen her happy in her life , so let 's just hope she holds onto that .

( sighs ) obviously , we 're facing a very challenging time , which means we 're facing lots of changes , taking on new roles , new responsibilities . but along with that comes great opportunity , right , with new ideas . but when we start down a path , we 've got to make sure that it 's the right one for us . now listen , this -- this slack time we 've faced , that will be ending . there is no doubt in my mind . and we do have a very bright future here . and we will rebound , and we will be stronger than ever . so ... thank you for your time . that 's all i 've got . whip : okay . aggie : ( chuckles ) thanks . amber : bye . jackie : so was that pep talk for them or for you ? ( sighs ) nicky , i heard you and aggie talking before the meeting . she cares about you ... a lot . all the wonderful things you 've done for her -- of course , she does . but that does n't mean that the two of you are going to end up in a relationship . and you do n't have to say anything , because i know that your heart is not with aggie . [ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) thank you . ridge : you knew i was n't gon na fire you . brooke : steffy and your mother had some valid points . ridge : logan , two wrongs still do n't make a right . firing steffy just made the situation worse . and firing you would have turned it into a complete disaster . brooke : you could have improved things between you and steffy . ridge : just ... let me worry about steffy . brooke : she 's not gon na let this go . ridge : she would if she realized how committed i was . you and i have been through too much to be derailed by my daughter 's stubborn streak . brooke : i know where she gets that stubborn streak . and if it 's anything like her father 's , she 's not going to give up until i 'm out of the company . [ scene_break ] stephanie : this is so typical of your father . he wants to have it both ways . you know , the men in this family , that 's just the way they are . steffy : ( high - pitched voice ) yeah , like , telling us to , like , deal with it , come together for , like , the good of the company . ( normal voice ) so stupid . stephanie : honey , this is not the end of the discussion . steffy : you know , honestly , i - i do n't even want to talk about it . i just want brooke out . stephanie : so do i . believe me , so do i . steffy : you know , it 's like dad does n't even hear himself . all he talks about is unity and principles . what unity ? all i see is his loyalty to brooke . he 's not interested in running the company with us no , it 's all about brooke . it always has been . you know , for years , i just watched her tear our family apart , and there was nothing i could do . i was powerless . but now , thanks to mom , i 'm -- i 'm not . i have the leverage to go up against dad , and i will if that 's what it takes . [ scene_break ] ridge : steffy is gon na figure this out . eventually , she 'll realize that this behavior is not gon na get her the results she wants . brooke : like when she was a little girl . ridge : oh , you remember that , huh ? brooke : mm . she 'd be in the middle of an epic tantrum , and then suddenly she would stop , and she would peer at you out of the corner of her eye . ridge : and if she did n't get whatever she was screaming about , what would she do ? brooke : she would calm down , and she would ask politely . ridge : when all the time all she really wanted was a hug . brooke : i do n't think a hug is really gon na work this time . ridge : but it might if it came from you . look , steffy knows how much i want her to change her attitude about you , logan . maybe if you just talk with her a little bit , reach out , you know , i think it might surprise you . brooke : ridge , i ... ( sighs ) i do n't really want to make things worse . ridge : you wo n't . i have complete faith in you . why do n't you try ? brooke : ( laughs ) ridge : go . brooke : ( sighs ) ridge : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . good luck . good luck . brooke : mmm .

( scoffs ) grandma , bill spencer is n't the problem . brooke is . stephanie : i do n't have to remind you what it was like for you to work at this company when spencer was in control of it . he 's got 12.5 % of the company because of the divorce . if he got his hands on another 25 % , it would put him in a very advantageous position . steffy : i know . i understand that . so does dad . i 'm not talking about blackmail . i do n't have to go there . just knowing that bill spencer is out there trying to find a way in should be enough to get dad 's focus off of brooke . stephanie : yeah , well , it is n't . steffy : well , then it 's up to us . we pushed her out of the bedroom line . we got ta keep on pushing . brooke : commiserating with your namesake . i 'm not surprised . stephanie : what do you want , brooke ? brooke : i 'd like to speak to steffy ... alone . stephanie : i told ridge you 'd be involved in another scandal , and i was right . i 'm always right about you . one of these days , he 'll wake up , and he 'll understand that . brooke : i 'm not here to argue . steffy : mm . i know why you 're her . dad forced you to make nice , like he forced me to make that tribute for you ? but you do n't have to pretend with me . we 're not friends , and we 're never going to be . brooke : we used to be very friendly , when you were a little girl . steffy : well , i was too young to know any better . you know , my dad 's trying to m -- be the peacemaker -- all for one , one for all . but i 'm a realist like my grandmother . you know , this whole fantasy of you and i working together in harmony , i 'm sorry . there 's just no way that 's ever going to happen .

( giggles ) look , i - i - i know it 's not gon na be easy to wait . but , you know , i only have one chance to do this , a - and i want to make sure it 's right . i do n't know . maybe this is just a reaction to my mother and all the men that we had coming in and out of our home growing up maybe i 'm overcompensating , but that 's -- that 's me . that 's -- that 's how i feel . and in this day and age , i - i want to know that i 'm different and special . liam : there is nobody more special than you .

( chuckles ) steffy : yes , they 're engaged to be married . oliver : would you go depress the bartender with that , please ? your job is done here . steffy : i 'm not trying to depress you . look , normally , i would say that -- oliver : normally you 'd say , `` engagement 's do n't count . it 's just an excuse to go off your diet . `` steffy : right . normally i would say that . but -- but not now . what ? oliver : someone i do n't feel like talking to right now . steffy : he should n't be here . oliver : we people that live at the beach tend to hang out at the beach . steffy : what are you doing here ? liam : uh , was n't there an after - party for the preview ? steffy : was it a disaster ? liam : what are you -- what ? the show ? you were there . steffy : no , you were the show -- you and hope . what , did she kick you out of your bed ? liam : excuse me ? steffy : what , did she freak out when you touched her ? liam : steffy , i do n't know what you thought you heard , but -- steffy : well , i know that you 're engaged . liam : yeah , that 's right . steffy : and that she was supposed to spend the night with you . liam : ( chuckles ) okay , how is this anybody else 's business ? steffy : you do n't have to feel ashamed , all right ? liam : do i look ashamed ? steffy : no , you look embarrassed , uh , maybe because your grand gesture or your diamond ring did n't work out . liam : you 're crazy , do you know that ? you 're crazy . and you 're wrong , by the way . i 've never been happier . steffy : mm , okay . then why are you here all alone ? liam : nothing is wrong , okay ? we did n't get into a fight , so if you 're looking for dirt , you can just stop . steffy : i 'm not . liam , you saved my life . i 'd walk over hot coals for you . liam : sorry . it 's -- it 's okay . she just decided she wants to wait still . steffy : wait for what ? liam : the wedding night .	liam is trying to understand why it was all right one moment , and now hope wants to wait until their wedding night . steffy drops by to see hope . when brooke tells her that she is not there , steffy says she probably can find her at liam 's . brooke suggests that she is a smart , beautiful girl and she does n't want to make that mistake again . just leave them alone tonight . steffy gives brooke a framed photo of hope from the eye of fashion to celebrate her engagement to liam . she says under different circumstances she and hope could be friends ; she does not hate her . brooke helps her re - wrap the photo and leave it for hope .although she laments that she does not expect hope home tonight . smart girl , steffy gets the picture . hope takes a shower and washes all the smell off her body and the goop off her face ; she feels better now . liam quips they could set the wedding date by being in las vegas in four or five hours . hope wants her entire family to be there so that thought will have to he put on hold .
hope : wow . i was so confident in this . really believed in our relationship , but 3 : 00 just came and went . liam : hope , i was there . hope : no , liam . you were n't . i waited for you . liam : i know . i know you waited . you did n't wait long enough . ivy : so , you 're saying there were two hot tubs in this yacht ? wyatt : yeah , yeah . uh , but , you know , people are starting to leave . i should probably go find hope ... ivy : oh . wyatt : ... so we can start saying our goodbyes . aly : oh , she 's around . do n't worry about it . ivy : yeah . tell us about the vows . wyatt : uh ... okay . bill : hey , wyatt , could i talk to you for a second ? alone . wyatt : sure . yeah , let 's rain check this , uh , wedding - details thing .

[ sighs ] man , what a rush . what a day . then i went to my office , and i pick up a pencil . and i froze . brooke : i remember that day . you went home . we just thought you were tired . ridge : yeah . katie : hey . there you are . ridge : hey . katie : what 's going on ? ridge : brooke knows . katie : she knows what you 've been struggling with . brooke : design is your passion . it 's your identity . ridge : not anymore . wyatt : ivy fell in the seine ? bill : sounds crazy , i know . wyatt : and then liam jumped in after her . of course he did . bill : she was in distress . liam 's a strong swimmer . wyatt : and this all happened at 3 : 00 when hope was waiting for him ? bill : he could see hope in the distance . but ivy was in the water . liam had to help her . i mean , what choice did he have ? wyatt : okay , so i 'm married , basically , because ivy fell in the river . bill : [ sighs ] do n't say that . wyatt : no , but it 's true . it 's true . if she had n't , liam would have made it to hope and they would be married right now . bill : all right , well , at is point , it does n't matter . wyatt : of course it matters . when hope finds out about this -- bill : she does n't have to . wyatt : i am not keeping any secrets from her . bill : okay , listen to me . you and hope are married . now , you know how hope is . she made vows . she 's gon na stick to them . and i 've had a conversation with liam . he 's not gon na be a problem . you and hope are married , and he knows i expect him to respect that . hope : you were there ? liam : yes . hope : then what happened ? what happened , liam ? what , you just stood on the bridge and you watched me standing there , waiting for you ? what -- why were you there ? i knew you were upset about the diamond , but ... liam : that 's not ... i did n't think you should accept it , especially not in front of the press , and especially not after you told me you would give it back to him , and then you took off to paris . with him . and you 're right . i was -- i was angry . and when you left and you told me to meet you there , honestly , i - i did n't know if i would . hope : i did n't know . i did n't know , either , but i - i chose to believe that you 'd be there . i chose to have faith in us . that made it all the more painful when you did n't show up . it seemed so simple to me . 3 : 00 , eiffel tower , be there or not . so when that clock struck 3 : 00 and you were n't there ... i knew your decision . liam : except you were wrong . i did everything i could to get to you . but when i did , you were gone . quinn : kind of a change for us , being part of it all , feeling wanted . deacon : yeah , thanks to hope and wyatt . no , today was -- today was good . you know , seeing how much it meant to them -- the families getting along together . quinn : especially their parents -- you and brooke , me and bill . now that ridge 's secret is out , who knows what might develop . katie : i 'm glad you know what he 's been struggling with . he 's been trying to keep it a secret , but ... he needs support . you see that , right ? brooke : i 'm here for you , always . we both are . [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe this is happening . all because of ... katie : bill said he wanted to teach him a lesson , to make a point . you know , `` no one punches me and drags my bride away . `` he said to cool him off . and look at what happened . brooke : you 're going to get through this . ridge : well , i 've been trying . i got nothing . brooke : you 'll get it back . you are ridge forrester . you 're a great designer . you 're not losing that . bill : oh , hey . there you are . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : when did the party come in here ? brooke : [ sighs ] ivy : oh , great ! so , uh -- so your dad left . aly : you were about to tell us the vows . who spoke first ? wyatt : later . i need to find hope and tell her that i -- oh . you two have been trying to keep me from doing that . i 'll tell liam you did your job . hope : this does n't make any sense . please explain this to me . liam : we landed in plenty of time . did n't even occur to me that we would n't get to you . hope : we ? who 's we ? liam : ivy was with me . we landed . we jumped in a car . but then we got stuck in traffic , and we waited it out for a while , but ... it was getting close to 3 : 00 and we were n't moving , so we got out . and we started running . hope : liam , i - i - i had a phone . i had a cell phone . why did n't you call me ? liam : i did n't think i needed to . i could see you from where i was , and i was picturing your face when i got to you . i was ... picturing your smile , reuniting in paris . hope : if you were that close , then -- liam : i was on the bridge . i was on the bridge , and i could see you in the distance , and ... that 's when i heard ivy scream . hope : what ? liam : someone bumped into her . she fell into the water . hope : are you kidding me ? ! liam : no . no , i 'm not . she told me to keep going . she told me she was fine . i could tell she was in trouble . hope : [ sighs ] you jumped in to save her . liam : i got her to shore , and at that point it was past 3 : 00 . all i could do was run -- run and pray that you 'd still be there . nope . you were n't . bill : look at you three -- so , uh , serious . this is a wedding celebration , not a funeral . let 's turn those frowns upside down for hope and wyatt . or not . ridge : let 's go . katie : okay . are you gon na be all right ? brooke : yeah . bill : what did she mean , `` are you gon na be all right ? `` you want to tell me what 's going on ? quinn : look who 's leaving . deacon : brooke and spencer are alone in the kitchen . quinn : i wonder what they could be talking about . bill : well , you obviously told ridge and katie that we 're getting married . they did n't take it well . come on , brooke . i mean , we knew they would n't . they 'll come around . in the meantime , everybody 's pretty much cleared out , so let 's get to my jet and fly to my yacht . what is it ? brooke : ridge just confirmed something . he has n't been the same since he fell . bill : [ sighs ] let 's not go back to that . brooke : no , no , bill . we have to . it 's something he 's struggling with . bill : well , i know that he -- he was struggling . i mean , it took him a while to recover . he had a little bit of memory loss . i feel badly about the part i played in that . not that it 's done any good , but i have apologized . thankfully , he 's back to his old self . brooke : no . he 's not . bill : wh - what do you mean ? brooke : [ sighs ] he 's not able to draw . his gift , his art -- it was taken from him ... all because he fell out of a helicopter . aly : should we call liam , let him know wyatt 's on his way ? ivy : well , it probably does n't matter at this point . i think we gave him enough time to tell hope . aly : liam was there for her in paris like hope asked . [ sighs ] i wonder what she 'll do now that she knows . hope : i had been standing there for what seemed like an eternity . liam : i - i know . i made a split - second decision , hope . i jumped in to help . hope : i know . of course you did . of course you 'd save her . i 'm not surprised . but you have to understand that that does n't change my perspective . it does n't change what i was going through , because for me , i was looking for you . i was waiting for you . i was wondering where you were . `` is he gon na show up ? is he t gon na show up ? `` it 's ... when those 3 : 00 bells rang and you were n't there ... that meant that i did n't matter to you . but wyatt was there . he was there . oh , god . and he did n't have to say a word to me . he -- he just looked at me and he saw how upset i was and suddenly , in that moment , it felt like you ever showing up was just ridiculous . liam : i did show up . i was late , but i showed up . hope : but i did n't know that . liam : yeah , well ... now you know . [ door opens ] wyatt : hope ... hope : yeah . wyatt : the party 's over . come on , honey .	liam tells hope that he knows she waited , but he was there . she argues that he was n't . he repeats she had on a blue dress and was beautiful ; he saw her . she answers angrily if he was there , then he should have come to her . meanwhile the groupies have wyatt pinned on the stair steps wanting to hear all the details of the wedding and honeymoon . he tells them people are starting to leave so he should go find hope . they try to convince him to stay and bill saves the day by coming by and says he needs a word with wyatt . he says there is something wyatt needs to know and he did n't want to say it in front of hope . bill says that liam was in paris . he just did n't get to hope in time . wyatt says he is wrong . it 's the whole reason she married him . bill quickly describes how ivy fell into the seine and of course liam is a good swimmer and had to rescue her . so wyatt says he is married to hope now because ivy fell into the river . bill tells him not to say that . wyatt says but it is true . if ivy had not fell in the water and liam dove in , he would have been in hope 's spot on time and they would be married now . bill says none of that matters now . wyatt says of course it is when hope finds out . bill says she does n't have to know . wyatt says yes because he is not keeping any secrets from hope . bill tells him , okay , he and hope are married . wyatt knows how hope is . she will honor her vows and he had a conversation with liam and he is not going to be a problem . he expects liam to respect the marriage . hope continues to question liam of why he was not there . he admits he was angry with her at their last conversation and he was not sure he would come . hope says she was n't sure either but she had faith in them . and that it was even more painful when he did not show up . she utters that it seemed so simple to her 3 o'clock , eiffel tower , be there or not . and when he did n't , she knew his decision . he says except that she was wrong . he did everything he could to get to her but when he did she was gone . quinn asks deacon how did it go . he says brooke did not believe him at first but she knows the secret now and she is pretty torn up . quinn chuckles . deacon tells her not to do that . this is not fun for him . he actually cares how brooke feels . she says she understands . that is why they are doing this . he cares for brooke like she cares for bill . it was fun seeing all the families together . and now that ridge 's secret is out , who knows what might develop .
ivy : well , it looks like you finally did the right thing . steffy : like i had a choice . ivy : you did have a choice , steffy . the night aly died , you could have chosen to walk away . steffy : aly came after me . she attacked me ! ivy : oh , come on . you could have tossed the tire iron and ran away , but instead , you used it to murder her . steffy : for the last time , it was not murder . it was accident . ivy : oh , steffy , just stop lying ! stop lying . we have the proof right here . you just saw the video -- clear as day , you murdering our cousin . steffy : what more do you want ? you 're the new face of forrester . when are you gon na give this a rest ? ivy : i own you , steffy . and for as long as this video exists , i always will . [ scene_break ] thomas : ivy 's upset about aly 's death , all right ? she 's just taking it out on steff . liam : yeah , i know that . by blackmailing her . thomas : give her the new position or she goes to the police . liam : yeah , but that video -- it was shocking . thomas : it does n't tell the whole story . liam : yeah , it does n't matter . it 's damning enough . thomas : we have to -- hey , dad . you talk to steffy ? ridge : yep . i do n't know what 's gotten into her . liam : what did she say ? ridge : she turned down being the new face of forrester . insisted i give it to ivy . [ scene_break ] quinn : ivy better watch it with that attitude . wyatt : [ scoffs ] are we still on this ? seriously ? you 're just not used to a woman standing up to you . that 's all . quinn : you know what ? there is no reason for anyone to be that bossy . wyatt : says the pot about the kettle . quinn : oh , come on . you got to give me a break . i think i 've been rather pleasant lately . wyatt : yeah . less scary than usual . that 's for sure . but there 's always room for improvement . quinn : tell that to your girlfriend . i ca n't believe the two of you hooked up . you know what ? you gave up on steffy -- mm ! -- just like that . you throw in the towel too quickly , wyatt . you got to learn to stand your ground . you got to keep your dukes up . wyatt : what ? have you been watching , boxing ? we 're talking about steffy here . quinn : no . we 're talking about your brother . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : you ca n't let liam win all the time . wyatt : what am i supposed to do ? quinn : where there 's a will , there 's a way . wyatt : i 'm just loving these clichés today . do you have any more ? this is thrilling . i mean , does it bug me that liam 's v.p . of forrester and president of spencer ? i 'm not gon na lie to you . it bothers me . quinn : it should bother you . you deserve your moment . i 've been saying that all along . wyatt : yeah , well , i think it might be happening . ivy and i are ... finally getting our chance . [ scene_break ] ridge : i assumed steffy would jump at the chance . liam : well , you know , you really do n't know how somebody 's gon na react under pressure . ridge : she thrives on pressure . what are you talking about ? thomas : well , i - i do n't think she was prepared for all this . ridge : what does that mean ? i 'm asking too much ? am i asking too much here ? liam : i do n't -- no . i do n't think that 's the issue . ridge : well -- thomas : either way , all right , it 's steffy 's decision . you know , i would n't worry about it too much . ridge : it just does n't make sense to me . it 's a good opportunity . why would she turn it down and ask me to give it to ivy ? liam : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] steffy : you ca n't possibly believe i 'm that heartless . ivy : well , i 've seen no evidence of a conscience . steffy : if i could go back , if i could change things , aly would still be alive . look , this is n't my fault . and i do n't care if you believe me or not , because i know what happened . aly was gon na hit me with a rock . i had no choice but to defend myself . ivy : okay , well , this video paints a very different story . it 's vicious and it 's violent , steffy . and there was no rock , so stop trying to convince yourself that there was . you get away with everything -- stealing liam , becoming president of this company , taking aly . no more , steffy . your charmed life is over . [ scene_break ] quinn : [ sighs ] oh , i just do n't see it . you and ivy . meh . mm . hmm . wyatt : you did n't like hope either , at first . quinn : i like steffy for you . wyatt : oh , i know . you 've made that abundantly clear . quinn : well , you know , the door is still open . i mean , liam has n't proposed to her . wyatt : mom . quinn : what ? wyatt : ivy is great . you ever gon na give her a chance ? quinn : if the two of you end up getting married -- wyatt : whoa . mom . we are not even there yet . we 're taking things slow ... ish . [ chuckles ] quinn : you know , ivy and i were getting along really well when she needed my help . wyatt : i remember . she said you were very supportive during the whole immigration debacle . quinn : yeah , well , so much for that . now she 's barking at me . wyatt : well , she 's going through a lot right now . losing aly , losing liam to steffy -- that 's a lot to handle . quinn : okay . on a separate note , i do n't get what these two women see in that ... vegan troll . wyatt : i do n't know . it 's getting harder and harder to defend my brother , too . and i 'm sick and tired of always losing out to him . [ scene_break ] liam : i mean , at this point , it 's probably best to just let it go . ridge : i know my daughter better than you do , liam . it 's out of character . liam : all right . thomas : well , you know , i 'm sure steffy has her reasons for turning down the position . ridge : i 'm sure she does . she 's got a deal with , she said . i just do n't know that i buy it . liam : well , listen , ivy did some modeling in amsterdam . i can vouch for that . she did an excellent job . ridge : what ivy can or ca n't do is not the issue here . thomas : look , wyatt made some good points about the media . all right , they 're already breathing down steff 's neck . i 'm sure she does n't want to deal with more fallout . ridge : never would have stopped her before . so , what ? is there something else ? what am i missing ? [ scene_break ] ivy : well , you have to start accepting some responsibility . steffy : i do . to a certain degree , i do . but not to the extent you 're accusing me . ivy : [ sighs ] steffy : i did n't want aly to die . i did n't want to hurt her . but my life was in danger , so i reacted . you would have done the same thing . ivy : steffy , i never would have ended somebody 's life . steffy : you do n't know that ! how would you know that ? ! you were n't in the same situation ! no , but -- but instead , you pulled over on the side of the road and you recorded our fight . what does that say about you ? that was your best friend . that was our cousin . i protected myself . it was either survive or get killed . ivy : uh , should we watch the video again , steffy ? there is no rock ! steffy : it was there ! ivy : [ groans ] steffy : look , i know you hate me , and i know we have our differences over liam . but for you to call me a murderer , to accuse me of intentionally killing a human being , let alone our cousin -- god , let aly rest in peace . let this go . ivy : i was there , too , steffy . i have watched this video over and over again , and not once have i seen your version of the truth -- not once . you just keep making excuses and denying your accountability , just like you denied trying to make a play for my boyfriend . well , i do n't buy it . i 've been played a fool by you too many times to ever believe you again . [ scene_break ] wyatt : it 's not gon na get awkward , is it ? quinn : well , i guess you 'll have to ask ivy that question . ivy : we 're two grown women . i 'm sure we can handle a few disagreements . wyatt : of course you can . my mother and i just got done talking about how much you two have grown . quinn : oh , yes . we have very different styles , you know , very distinctive ways of approaching our jobs and our designs and how we talk to seniority . ivy : yeah . oh , hey , uh , i 'm really glad you brought that up , actually . i mean , as you know , jewelry is my baby , and i will always remain very hands - on with this line , but ... i have a feeling things are gon na be changing around here . wyatt : wait . you 're not talking about ... ? ivy : yeah . you are looking at the new face of forrester creations . wyatt : seriously ? ! ivy : i know . steffy convinced ridge to give me a shot . wyatt : oh , god ! that is -- that is -- that 's amazing ! i mean , then again , i 'm not surprised . we both kind of knew steffy was gon na do the right thing . right ? [ chuckles ] quinn : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ridge : should i be concerned ? thomas : about steffy ? no . steffy 's tough . she can handle her business . ridge : right . thomas : look , i 'm sure she hates disappointing you . ridge : she not letting me down . i just -- there 's something going on here , man . thomas : she 's just overwhelmed -- you know , moving back , taking over the presidency , reuniting with liam . ridge : aly 's death maybe , you think ? thomas : yeah . why make it harder on herself than she has to ? ridge : what 's all this thing with ivy ? why does she want her to be the face of forrester ? what is that all about ? thomas : well , they 've been trying to get along better . i 'm sure she just does n't want to start any more drama . ridge : if there was something going on , you 'd tell me , right ? thomas : if i thought steffy was making the wrong decision , i 'd let you know . ridge : okay . just -- you know , i just ca n't shake it . there 's something going on . i just think there 's more to the story . and i think you know what it is . [ scene_break ] steffy : my dad has no idea why i turned down the job . liam : yeah . he seemed pretty surprised by it . steffy : [ sighs ] i hate keeping secrets from him . liam : i know . i know that , but you ca n't tell him about the video , not now . steffy : i 'm letting ivy win . there 's no negotiating with her . she refuses to believe anything that i have to say . [ sighs ] she told me that i made a huge mistake accepting the position . liam : yeah . in other words , she 's threatening you . steffy : i do n't even care about the job . yeah , i would have been honored to be the face of my family 's company , but you know what gets me ? you know , what 's in my heart is that i know that i had no control over what happened to aly . liam : of course you did n't . what were your options , even ? you were trying to stay alive . steffy : yeah . it 's hard enough living with this memory . now i have ivy holding it over my head . for how long ? for the rest of my life ? liam : no , no . we are not gon na let her do that to you , okay ? steffy : god , i - i told you . i told you that i was n't gon na let her control me . but now that i saw the video , how incriminating it looks , i do n't know -- liam : hey , hey . look at me . you are innocent . you have done nothing wrong . steffy : you saw the video . you know how guilty i look . liam : yeah , well , you 're not . and you know it and i know it . and that 's all that matters . steffy : [ scoffs ] she called me a murderer . she says that she owns me . what am i gon na do ? liam : no . no . i 'm done with this . we 're done . i 'm not gon na -- i 'm not gon na let this go on any longer . i 'm gon na put a stop to it right now . steffy : liam . liam ! [ door opens , closes ] [ scene_break ] steffy : i hope you understand why i had to say no . ridge : i 'm trying . steffy : bad timing , you know ? too many things on my plate -- obligations with the company , with the family . and i think it 's best if i focus on my responsibilities as president . and i get to focus on my new relationship with liam . ridge : but liam knows your work ethic , and he 's supportive . steffy : yeah , he is . more than you can ever imagine . ridge : all right . so , what 's the real reason ? steffy : what do you mean ? ridge : i 'm your dad . we 've always been straight with each other . steffy : [ sighs ] i do n't know . just -- modeling and -- and putting myself out there right now -- you know , it 's stressful , and i do n't want to complicate things . ridge : and ivy of all people . where did that come from ? steffy : why not ? she modeled before . and she 's in the family . i think it 's a logical choice . ridge : i 'm worried about you . steffy : do n't be . i have the situation under control . ridge : this whole thing -- this thing with aly and the way you -- steffy : it was scary . seeing her on the ground , it -- [ voice breaking ] i 'm devastated . ridge : i 'm sorry , honey . steffy : she was out of control . there 's nothing i could have done . ridge : hey . do n't blame yourself . steffy : i 'm not . but i know people that are . i 'm never gon na forget this . this is gon na haunt me for the rest of my life . [ scene_break ] liam : congratulations . [ door closes ] ivy : so , steffy told you ? liam : yeah . face of forrester . big news . ivy : yeah , i guess so . liam : that sapphire ? ivy : yeah . it 's beautiful . liam : yeah . used to think of you kind of like that . brilliant and precious and with a clarity that i really admired . ivy : [ sighs ] liam : look , i know you do n't like me using those words , but it 's true . ivy : yeah , well , it was all true until steffy came back and then stole you from me . [ chuckles ] liam : that 's not what happened . ivy : yeah , well , it certainly felt that way , liam . liam : okay . first of all , nobody steals anybody from anybody else . i 'm responsible for making my own decisions . and secondly ... ivy : [ scoffs ] liam : yeah , things between us got real complicated real fast , and my feelings for steffy played a role in that . but then there was also the -- the immigration issue and the wedding and -- ivy : how many times are you gon na bring this up ? liam : i 'm not doing it to blame you , but it did change things between us . my god , the changes i 've seen in you . you 're colder . you 're darker . it 's like quinn is rubbing off on you . ivy : that is so low , liam . liam : you think i 'm saying this to hurt you ? no . i 'm afraid for you , ivy . i 'm afraid for the person you are turning into . blackmail ? ! that 's not who you are . now , may - maybe you 're justifying it to yourself . m - maybe you think that you 're fighting for aly 's memory , but the truth is it 's just illegal and unethical and self - serving . ivy : mm - hmm . liam : we all feel terrible about aly 's death , but nobody more than steffy . ivy : how do you even say that with a straight face ? liam : because aly loved you . she thought of you as a sister . and what are you doing now , ivy ? what are you doing ? you 're exploiting her death as a bargaining chip to further your career . ivy : what i 'm doing is trying to get justice for aly . liam : that 's not justice for aly . ivy : no , liam . because justice for aly is your girlfriend rotting in a jail cell , because right now , she has to pay for what she 's -- liam : enough , ivy ! enough ! this is sick . this is wrong . all you 're doing is tormenting steffy . i 'm not gon na let you get away with that anymore . ivy : well , it 's not up to you , liam . i have a video on my phone of your girlfriend killing my cousin . now , if you want her to keep her reputation -- liam : okay . all right . stop , stop , stop , stop . just ... fine . do it . go to the police . no , really . let the big secret come out . do it . or ... you can delete the video and you can mourn aly properly and you can let us all move on . but no more threats . no more blackmail . those are your only two options . so , what 's it gon na be , ivy ?	ivy tells steffy she had a choice . she had a choice that night when she murdered aly . stop lying about it , they have the proof on the video . she owns her now . and as long as this video exists she always will . once again steffy tries to convince her it was self defense but ivy tells her that her charmed life is over . liam tells thomas that ivy is blackmailing steffy with the video , that is damning enough , but is not the whole story . ridge walks up and tells them steffy is insisting she give up the face of forrester to ivy . thomas says it is not that big a deal . wyatt tells quinn that no woman has ever stood up to her like ivy , but she needs to get over that . she can not even believe that he is now hooked up with ivy and gave up on steffy too soon . he needs to keep his dukes up and not throw in the towel so soon . do not let liam win all the time . she says where there is a will , there is a way . he deserves his moment . he says maybe he and ivy will get their chance . they are taking things slow . she has a lot to handle with losing aly so cut her some slack . it is getting hard losing to his brother .
ridge : you okay ? steffy : uh ... yeah , i do n't know what i am . i could n't put up with quinn any longer , what she was doing to my marriage , so i , uh ... i moved out . thomas : and in with me at the loft . steffy : yeah . brooke : how 's wyatt taking it ? steffy : well , i gave quinn an ultimatum -- move out of my grandfather 's house or i move out of wyatt 's . should n't have been a hard choice , given what wyatt means to her . ridge : i guess living with dad means more . steffy : [ scoffs ] thomas : i just do n't understand how he does n't see what she 's trying to do . brooke : loneliness does strange things to people sometimes . ridge : oh , no , no , no . it 's not loneliness . i think he 's just lost it . first , he invites her back into the company and now my mother 's house . steffy : like , we 've tried everything . thomas : there 's got to be something else that we can do . ridge : there is . brooke : your father 's come up with a plan . steffy : tell us . ridge : it 's all about the spencer shares and getting our hands on them . [ door opens ] katie : i do n't have a lot of time . i 'm meeting with investors for a project i 'm working on . bill : well , good for you . anyone i know ? katie : i do n't think so . i met them at a club that i joined . bill : you joined a gym ? katie : uh , it 's more of a country club , i guess . but it does have a beautiful gym and yoga classes and activities for will , so we 've been pretty active . bill : it 's working for you . you look fantastic . katie : thank you . bill : there is a full gym at the house , though . katie : uh , yeah . actually , about that , um ... when you come to pick up will again for an overnight ... this is where we 'll be staying . bill : um , i do n't understand . katie : i moved out . i need a fresh start . anyway , the house was always more your house . and now you can live there with brooke . you and brooke are gon na be together now , right ? bill : does brooke know you 're not living at the house ? katie : no , i thought you could tell her for me . steffy : bill 's shares of forrester ? it 's 12 1/2 % . i always wanted to get my hands on them . if we do it now , we 'll have my 20 % , your 25 % , and your 5 % . steffy : and granddad could n't get bill to vote , so then we would have majority control . thomas : and then quinn 's out . ridge : out of the company , not out of his house . we 'll deal with that later . at least this way , dad wo n't make any questionable choices . steffy : what if granddad starts fighting with you ? he already thinks that we 're treating him like -- ridge : steffy , it 's business . can i count on you -- and you ? steffy : like you have to ask . thomas : absolutely . ridge : i do have to ask . got to make sure everything is solid . steffy : you have our full support , especially if it takes quinn out of this . thomas : the question is , is bill willing to part with his shares ? steffy : yeah , i do n't think bill 's gon na sell his shares under any circumstances . brooke : normally , probably not . but your father 's hoping that katie will get the shares in the divorce settlement . steffy : would katie be willing to go along with us ? thomas : well , even if she does , is she gon na be willing to part with them ? ridge : it may not matter . steffy : no , it does matter , because if katie keeps those stocks , then we do n't have majority control . thomas : or if bill decides to fight her on it , then it just turns into this long , drawn - out legal battle . ridge : and we do n't have time for that because quinn will be ensconced in this company and our home . so i have come up with a different approach . it 's our best way of stopping quinn . steffy : do n't think i 'm not intrigued , because i am , but ... with everything on my plate right now , i just do n't know if i can really ... ridge : i understand . thomas : dad , you have our full support . steffy : always . ridge : okay , good . let you know how it goes . not a word to anyone . steffy : yeah , mum 's the word . all right , i 'll see you . ridge : bye . brooke : why did n't you tell me you had a new plan ? ridge : because i 'm still mulling it over . but if katie ca n't get those shares and if i ca n't buy them outright , then ... brooke : well , then there 's really nothing you can do , is there ? ridge : no , there is n't . but there is something you can do . bill : so why did n't you tell me you were making this change ? katie : i think i just did . bill : before you made the move . katie : would you have tried to change my mind ? bill : it 's your home . katie : no , not really . it was our home for a while . i never liked that house . i liked our place at the beach . promise me one thing . bill : what ? katie : when you move brooke into your house ... you have lots of bedrooms . just choose a different one . do n't put her in our bedroom . i think that would be very confusing for will . bill : and i think this is something that we should n't be talking about . katie : you 're probably right about that , but i thought i 'd just throw it out there . so , i guess the only thing left is to finalize our settlement . bill : yeah , uh , listen , katie , i want to make one thing very clear . as far as my shares in forrester are concerned ... it ai n't happening . there 's no way in hell i would ever let that dressmaker have my 12 1/2 % . brooke : something i can do ? ridge : if katie gets locked up in a legal battle , it could take forever to get these shares , if we ever get them . but if you talk to bill ... brooke : me ? ridge : he listens to you . you 're the only one he listens to . brooke : ridge ... ridge : i know , i know . it 's asking a lot , but if you go to him and you tell him that i want to buy his shares , even at a higher price , i 'm okay with it . or if he does n't want to sell them , maybe he can assign them to me so i can vote with them . brooke : oh , my god , no . he 's never gon na go for it . ridge : you ought to know about that . it 's coming from you . and with what quinn did to liam and wyatt , he might just go for it . brooke : we both know he 's going to want something in return . ridge : what ? a relationship with you ? no . that 's not on the table . or is it ? katie : gee , bill , tell me how you really feel . bill : would you rather me string you along ? let you think there 's a chance i 'll give you my shares when there is n't one ? katie : i think it was you who taught me that everything is negotiable . bill : everything except my 12 1/2 % . and besides , i 've given you a very generous settlement offer . katie : right , 50 million bucks . what is that for you ? like , a decent day on the stock market ? bill : half decent . and do n't forget all those perks i threw in there . actually , i should tell you that i have sweetened the deal . justin is working on that as we speak . katie : you have justin very busy these days . bill : got to justify that guy 's salary . katie , what i want is for us to resolve this situation amicably so we can both move on . katie : right . move on . that sounds good . bill : you know , i like this , seeing you stronger ... more self - assured . katie : well , i have a little boy that 's depending on me . and i need to be the best mother that i can be for him . bill : he loves his mommy . katie : and i love him more than anything in the whole world . and i have n't been there for him the way that i should have been . bill : well , you -- you were going through a ... rough time . katie : [ chuckles ] yeah . rough time . but i chose to handle it the way i did , you know ? i chose to medicate myself with alcohol . i can take responsibility for that . just like i can take responsibility for better choices , like the ones i 'm making right now . i feel good . feel like i 'm ready for whatever comes my way . bill : like maybe a new relationship ? katie : ha ha ha . yeah , let 's not get ahead of ourselves . but you never know . life is full of surprises . in the meantime , i 'm just gon na keep working on me . bill : i 'd say you 're well on your way . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : not that you give a damn about what i think , being that we 're getting divorced . katie : i 'll always care about what you think . just not as much as i used to . anyway , um , i am looking forward to seeing that new sweetened settlement that justin 's coming up with . and if you ever decide to get rid of your 12 1/2 % , you know , i could throw you a few million dollars . i 've got 50 of them lying around . yeah . that 's what i thought . not a chance . steffy : i 'm finished with you ! i 've given you so many chances ! i just -- i can not be associated with this . so from here on out , you will stay away from me and my family . i do not want you in my life . quinn . you and my grandfather ? ! walk out the door ... or i will leave wyatt . walk out and never come back . wyatt : are you being serious right now ? you -- you 're moving out of here ? steffy : i am . thomas : i know it seems like everything 's crashing in all at once . steffy : i 'm just glad dad has a plan , whatever it is . thomas : oh , come on . do n't act like you 're not dying to know what that is . steffy : how dad 's gon na get bill 's shares back ? thomas : and if it involves brooke . if it does , is she gon na go along with it ? brooke : look , ridge , i know how much you want this to work , but i was n't even fully on board when you wanted me to encourage katie to get bill 's shares in the divorce settlement . and now you want me to go to bill . ridge : because you might be able to convince him . brooke : because we were involved when we should n't have been ? ridge : no , that 's -- no . just ... look at the bigger picture . brooke : i am , and i just do n't see how it 's possible . ridge : what do you see ? you see bill wanting a relationship with you . well , that 's not gon na happen , because you belong with me . brooke : with you ? ridge : yes , here , at forrester , because if we get that 12 1/2 % , we can run this company together , you and me , the way we wanted to , and rick can help us . brooke : what about eric ? ridge : i 'll deal with my dad , and i 'll make it right . i will . but right now , we got to focus on those shares . what do you say ? [ cell phone ringing ] brooke : it 's bill . [ cell phone beeps ] brooke : hello , bill . bill : i need to see you . can you meet me at the house ? brooke : where 's katie ? bill : katie 's moved out . she 's gotten her own place . please , brooke . brooke : he wants to see me . brooke : uh , yeah , sure . i 'll be there shortly . [ cell phone beeps ] ridge : look at me . if this is too hard , if you do n't want to do it , do n't do it . i do n't want you being involved with this guy romantically . brooke : of course not . ridge : i know i 'm asking a lot . but our family , our company is in crisis , and if we do n't deal with this , it 's gon na turn into a disaster . steffy : dad and brooke have history . they 've been there for each other many times . thomas : yeah , but it is this really one of those times ? i mean , she has history with bill , too . steffy : [ scoffs ] thomas : hey , you okay ? steffy : ah , just thinking . even if dad gets those shares , granddad 's still with quinn , and that means quinn 's still part of my life . thomas : whether you 're living with wyatt or not . steffy : [ scoffs ] it 's like , i moved out to escape quinn . all the damage that she 's done to me and my marriage , it 's like there 's no escaping that woman . thomas : hey , steff , you 're not giving up , are you ? steffy : no . thomas , of course not . she has to be stopped . thomas : exactly . and dad 's plan is the first step to that . it 'll happen . it will . quinn 's manipulation is going to end , and then our family can go back to whatever we perceive as normal . katie : pam was n't at her desk . am i interrupting ? ridge : yes . and thank you . katie : ah . rough day ? ridge : it 's about to get better . you look great , by the way . katie : thank you . bill said the same thing . must be true . i just came from his office . ridge : oh . and he has n't changed his mind on those shares , has he ? katie : no , no . he 's digging his heels in . ridge : all right , well , it 's probably gon na take too long anyway . katie : you have another plan ? what is it ? ridge : brooke . bill called and asked her to stop by . katie : of course he did . ridge : so , i 'm hoping that logan can get those shares . brooke : is this why you wanted to see me ? bill : we have this house all to ourselves . no interruptions . this home is mine again . you and i have made some incredible memories here already . and i 'm determined we 're going to make a lot more . i know you love me , brooke , and you always will . and i 'll always love you . my divorce is going to be final soon , and then when it is ... you and i will get married and live the rest of our lives together as husband and wife . till then , i do n't want to live another moment without you . our future together , in this home ... starts now ... today .	ridge tells brooke , steffy and thomas that he has come up with a plan . it involves the spencer shares and he thinks it might stop quinn . he can not kick her out of eric 's house but it might keep her out at forrester 's . thomas and steffy say he has their full support and wo n't tell anyone . katie informs bill that he can have the house now ; she is moving out so he can have brooke move in . she just would ask that he not put her in their bedroom ; that would be confusing . then he adds his part .no way in hell will he give the dressmaker his 12 ½ % . but he is sweetening the pot and justin is working on that now . he is happy to see her stronger now and in control . she says she feels good and thinks she can handle anything that comes her way . ridge shares his plan with brooke because it involves her getting her hands on the shares from bill . steffy laments to thomas that she is glad their dad has a plan . they are all in a bad place right now . ridge tells brooke to look at the bigger picture . he will deal with his dad later but right now they need to focus on those shares . he needs her with him there at the company running it and rick can help .
bill : it 's caroline . she 's dying , thomas . justin : a spark is dangerous , bill . just ask liam . he put out the fire at the spectra building today . bill : electrical issues . now that 's something i had n't thought of . liam : [ clears throat ] hey , dad ? uh , did you , uh ... did you get a chance to look at that proposal ? the -- the hong kong investment ? bill : not yet . liam : okay . well , the meeting 's this week . bill : yeah , i know . i 'll look at it tonight . liam : good . you cool ? bill : as a cucumber . liam : spectra fashion show tomorrow . bill : yeah . that 's right . liam : yeah , kind of a big deal , right ? determines whether or not you get to build your skyscraper where spectra 's standing . steffy : so , granddad and quinn are back together ? have you spoken to him ? ridge : uh , i think it 's gon na take a little while for the two of us . steffy : well , i have faith . if anyone can forgive , it 's granddad . i still ca n't believe this is happening . so , wait . granddad asked sheila to stay in the house with him and quinn ? ridge : i know . it 's ridiculous . but , you know , maybe ... maybe dad feels obligated in some way because sheila was there when he was missing in action . steffy : she 's like -- she 's so weird . ridge : mm - hmm . you do n't have to convince me . but hopefully she 'll be out of there soon . steffy : good riddance . ridge : speaking of missing in action , have you spoken to your brother ? steffy : yeah . here and there . ridge : `` here and there `` ? the spectra show is tomorrow . is thomas gon na be there or not ? sally : take those down to saul . [ cellphone ringing ] oh , i ca n't deal . thomas ? thomas : hey . uh , i know you 're busy getting ready for the showing . i just wanted to call and say good luck , and i wish i could be there . sally : me too . [ sighs ] did you get my e - mails ? i sent you some pictures of my designs . thomas : yeah . yeah , i did . they look amazing . sally : i 'm glad you think so . i gave liam and jarrett a preview , and i think they were pretty impressed . thomas : of course they were . sally : i have a really good feeling about it . i think this line 's gon na be a success . thomas : i do n't doubt it for a second . i 've got total faith in you . sally : look , thomas , i know you have a lot to deal with back in new york , but is there any chance that you could be here tomorrow ? sally : so , what do you think ? is there any way ? i would love it if you could be here . thomas : i would if i could . but with caroline 's illness , i ... i just do n't know how much more time she has left . and leaving new york right now , it just -- it would n't be right . sally : it 's just one day . i mean , you could be here by noon and head back on a red - eye . thomas : i 'm sorry , sally . i - i -- i ca n't leave right now . being here with my son and caroline , the three of us together , it 's been a really ... a really great experience . but i want you to know that i will be thinking of you tomorrow , and i will be there with you in spirit . sally : [ scoffs ] ridge : i just wanted to know if thomas was coming to the spectra show or not . what 's this all about ? steffy : dad , he 's with douglas and caroline . what 's more important than that ? ridge : nothing is more important than that . i just know he was all gung ho on designing for spectra , and he and sally were doing pretty well , so i 'm just a little surprised that he would pick up and go to new york , that 's all . steffy : well , maybe he was reminded about his priorities . he 's with his family , dad . and he 's distancing himself from sally and spectra . those are n't bad things . ridge : no , i -- they 're not bad things at all . i just -- i 'm interested to see what 's gon na happen tomorrow . steffy : well , whatever happens , it 's all on sally . ridge : if bill does n't mess with her like he did last time . liam : i hate to remind you of this , but ... jarrett does think sally has real talent . bill : well , jarrett 's been known to wear a kilt on occasion , so consider the source . liam : still . i 've seen some of sally 's designs , too , and i 'm telling you , dad , they are going to be well - received . i 'm just saying ... prepare yourself . i know you do n't want to hear this , but you may have to find another site to build your skyscraper . that 's all . i mean , it never hurts to have a plan `` b , `` right ? justin : liam . liam : hey , justin . how 's it going ? justin : all right . [ sighs ] bill : i already have a plan `` b. `` and it starts tonight . justin : if you want it to . bill : we will put a stop to spectra . and make sure that fashion show never happens . liam : well , it was just me and jarrett , but i got to tell you , sally 's designs are better than you 'd think . ridge : you mean they were n't terrible . liam : no , i mean , they were actually pretty damn good . ridge : come on . liam : [ stammers ] listen , i do n't know what sally 's been having for breakfast , but her designs have improved . like , significantly . they 're on- trend , they 're relevant , they 're even progressive . i 'm just saying that , from what i 've seen , i feel like sally could rival some of the top fashion houses on the west coast . ridge : wow . that good . liam : i mean , even jarrett agrees . steffy : but you 've only seen a few pieces . liam : no , that 's true . i mean , the rest of them could be garbage . but i doubt it . i mean , sally 's unpolished , and she 's rough around the edges , but she knows what she 's doing . and this thing , this ... i do n't know . it could be a win . ridge : is it just me , or does it sound like he 's rooting for her ? steffy : [ scoffs ] liam : i - i would n't go that far . steffy : you 're always rooting for the underdog . look , i do n't care how good spectra designs are . they 're never gon na be on forrester 's level . liam : yeah , okay . sure . but spectra 's not going anywhere . sally : saul , you got to fix this hem . saul : already on it . sally : darlita , the seating chart ? darlita : still working out the kinks . sally : the show is tomorrow , people . come on ! we go to go . shirley : sally girl , stop worrying . it 's all coming together . at least i hope so . oh , darlita ! did the caterers call back ? darlita : mm - hmm . they said no discounts . shirley : how rude ! sally : it 's fine , okay ? we 'll pay whatever we have to . i just want the show to be flawless . coco : it will be . sally : thank you so much for being here , and for your moral support . what happened over there ? sally : uh , we had a small fire . coco : a fire ? shirley : honey , you know , these vintage buildings , the wiring 's at least 80 years old . coco : that must have been so scary . sally : it 's fine . it really was n't that big of a deal . darlita : liam spencer was here when it happened . he put it out with the fire extinguisher . pretty much saved the day . coco : yeah , but , should n't you still get it looked at ? sally : we called a handyman , but we ca n't afford to get it fixed until after the showing . saul : and we , uh -- we got that fire extinguisher just in case . shirley : come on , people . this showing is going to set spectra fashions ablaze ! and no one is going to put that out . saul : yeah ! yeah , that 's right ! [ all cheering ] justin : you really sure you want to do this ? bill : have we met ? i 've waited long enough . i mean , i tried to be civil , but that glorified sweatshop is standing in my way . so no more being nice . i want every bit of dirt you have on that rat - infested heap of dust . justin : i think you 'll find that interesting . check the date . bill : it expired ? justin : yeah . bill : [ laughs ] well , that leaves them incredibly vulnerable , does n't it ? justin : no insurance on the building . garrison must not have renewed the policy . bill : apparently so . and that might just mean an end to spectra fashions . liam : my dad says that he 's not gon na interfere with spectra this time . ridge : well , if that 's what your dad says , we 've got to believe him . liam : what do you want me to do ? i have to believe him . i have to believe he 's not gon na do more than he 's already done . steffy : yeah , sometimes bill just ca n't help himself . hopefully this will just play out on its own . ridge : he ca n't what ? he ca n't help himself ? it was his review that broke sally . that 's why she stole our designs and killed our whole collection . does anybody else remember that ? liam : i know what sally did , to forrester and to your family , and i 'm not condoning any of that . what she did , what my dad did , it was not okay , and i hope it never happens again . but ... i think we 've all kind of moved on from that , no ? ridge : yeah . well , we know thomas has moved on . from sally and from spectra . liam : yeah ... well , actually -- steffy : no , i 'm sure thomas will come back eventually . ridge : i just want to know what he 's doing -- if he 's gon na be with caroline in new york or if he 's coming back here . steffy : i do n't think thomas even knows what the future holds . liam : well , either way , without thomas , it 's gon na be a challenge . but let 's see . let 's see if sally has what it takes to resurrect spectra all on her own . sally : so , you have n't reconsidered . ca n't you just fix it for cheap and patch it up ? pete : like i told you yesterday , i 'm not an electrician . you want my suggestion ? shirley : that 's what we 're paying ya for , ai n't it ? pete : you should turn off the power to this entire building and go home . and do n't come back until you can get these wires repaired . saul : we ca n't do that . we have a fashion show tomorrow . pete : well , then i do n't know what to tell you . but i 'd get this fixed a.s.a.p . sally : okay . yep . we will . thank you . saul : well , that was , uh , pointless . coco : hey , do you guys want me to ask around and try to find an electrician ? sally : no . thank you , coco . we 'll be fine for one more day . we have way too much to do . would you work with darlita on the guest list ? coco : sure . darlita : we 're good . we 've only got in a few no 's so far . everyone is super excited . we 're gon na be the hottest ticket in town . sally : awesome ! [ laughs ] no pressure . [ laughter ] coco : you 're gon na kill it tomorrow , sally . like , i 'm so proud of you for doing all this on your own . sally : well , i did n't really have a choice . coco : yeah , but you do n't need thomas , or anyone else , to succeed . like , i never doubted that . i always believed in you . and now you just get to show that to the entire world . sally : god , i hope so . coco : you will , sal . and there 's nothing anyone could do to stop you . not even big bad bill spencer . bill : when i asked you to find me details , i did n't expect all this . justin : had to pull a few strings . bill : well - pulled . justin : so , what 's next ? bill : you tell me . justin : we have a few options , a few different ways we could do this . bill : i want the problem removed as quickly and cleanly as possible . justin : then there 's really only one option . bill : do it . justin : you know if we green - light this , there 's no going back ? bill : i want the building gone . no one hurt . no one killed . but there can be nothing left of spectra fashions . justin : i 've already talked to someone . bill : well , it better be someone you can trust implicitly . justin : yes , but i need to ask this question again -- are you absolutely sure you want to do this , dollar bill ? bill : make it happen , justin . i want spectra fashions to disappear . saul : what do you think ? sally : yes . yes , yes ! it is impeccable , saul . thank you . thank you , everyone . ah ... [ scoffs ] you guys are amazing . i am so proud of my troops . shirley : sally girl , we are proud of you , too , and everything you 've accomplished . [ sniffles ] my heart is so full , it 's nigh on to busting . sally : oh ! grams , i would be nowhere without any of you . seriously , i am -- i am in awe of everything we 've built . i am so grateful for your never - ending support . i know you guys have been working nonstop for this , and ... i 'm sure you guys are ready for a break . darlita : no way . show 's tomorrow . we 're gon na crash here if we have to . sleep on the couch or something . sally : okay , fine . we will pull another all - nighter . but at least please let me take you to dinner as a thank - you for all of your hard work . saul : all right . i think we could , uh , manage that . shirley : right . okay . we go get something to eat , then we come right back here and get to work . sally : how did i get so lucky to have the best crew in the biz ? darlita : sally , you are a fearless leader . we 've always known you could do it . sally : yeah , well , we got off to a rocky start . saul : but that was n't you . that was bill spencer . sally : you know , i think about that a lot . like , everything we could have accomplished if he had n't hijacked our first preview . saul : [ sighs ] sally : so many things would have been different . but , miraculously , somehow , we survived . shirley : and here we are , on the eve of the biggest fashion show in spectra history . [ cries ] sally : oh , this is our big moment . finally being embraced by the fashion community . spectra fashions is here to stay . a permanent fixture in the l.a . fashion world . got to feed my troops ! saul : [ laughs ] who 's craving hot wings ? shirley : aah ! darlita : oh , whatever 's fastest . i want to finish the playlist . sally : everything rests on these designs . liam : no , no , no ! whoa , whoa , whoa ! where do you think you 're going ? where are you going ? we 're the only ones still here . steffy : okay ! some of us have to work . liam : yeah , work . i guess . or -- or ... we could stay here on the couch . steffy : i 'm totally game for that . just forget about the stack of invoices over there . liam : invoices are lame . together : so lame . steffy : well , thank you for staying here while i work . liam : sure . thanks for ... not being mad at me for supporting sally . steffy : well , that 's what you do . you just always root for the little guy . well , in this case , the fairly tall redheaded woman . liam : i just ... i do n't know . i think everyone deserves their shot , and my dad has involved himself enough already . let sally succeed on her own . or fail miserably on her own . it does n't matter . just ... let it be without any further manipulation from my father . [ cellphone chimes ]	thomas calls sally and wishes her well at her showing tomorrow . he saw her designs and they look great . she says she knows he has a lot to deal with in new york but is there any chance he could be here tomorrow . he says sorry , he would if he could . but he can not leave his son even one day . he will be there in spirit . ridge asks steffy if thomas is going to be here . he and sally were doing well so he is surprised that he picked up and practically moved to new york . liam tells bill that he hates to remind him of this but jarrett thinks sally does have talent and he has seen her designs and thinks the showing will go well . bill may have to accept finding another spot for his skyscraper . bill tells justin that he already has plan b and it will start tonight . that showing will never happen . liam tells ridge and steffy the same ; sally 's designs are pretty damned good . he thinks she can give them a run for their money . ridge says it sounds like he is rooting for her . steffy adds that no matter how good they are , they will not be on forrester 's level . liam assures them that his dad says he will not interfere this time . it was not okay before but they have all moved on from that . without thomas let 's see if they are indeed up for the challenge .
hector : she 's still there ? [ hector sighs ] i see . no . no message . samantha : was that the hospital ? hector : yeah , i tried caty 's cell , but i got her voice mail . so i called the nurses ' station . apparently , she never left rick 's bedside all night . samantha : do you really expect her to ? hector : well , i was hoping she came to her senses . samantha : so is that why you spent the night on the couch last night ? you were waiting for caitlin to come home ? or is because you 're still upset at me for not telling you about caitlin and rick ? hector , we need to talk about this . hector : look , you know where i stand . samantha : so you ca n't forgive me for hiding the relationship ? hector : there would n't have been a relationship -- if you 'd been more of a mother to caty , instead of a friend . samantha : i thought i could be both . hector : well , you ca nt . not in a situation like this , okay ? she needed guidance . she needed to hear from you , she needed to hear the things that she did n't want to hear . even if it meant that -- samantha : i might lose her love . hector : what ? that would n't have happened . samantha : you do n't know that . hector : i know our daughter . i know how much she missed you , growing up . she prays to god , she thanks god everyday for you . nothing would 've changed , samantha . even if you 'd put your foot down about rick forrester . but because you did n't -- we 're all paying the price . especially caitlin . [ machines beeping ] caitlin : are sure you 're not in pain ? rick : only hurts when i laugh . look , you 're probably exhausted after staying here all night . you should go . caitlin : no . i 'm not leaving you . rick : all right , then call your father . caitlin , i 'm sure that he 's worried . caitlin : good . he should be . rick : caitlin -- caitlin : he hit you with his car . rick : he said it was an accident . caitlin : and you believe him ? rick : well , you know him better than i do . caitlin : something else happened between you and my dad last night , did n't it ? what is it , rick ? tell me . [ laughter ] jackie : i just ca n't believe that i let you talk me into going boogie boarding ! deacon : you ? you are a natural . i could n't believe it . jackie : please , i made a complete fool of myself . deacon : so what ? who cares ? come on , admit it -- you had fun , huh ? jackie : yes , well -- deacon : you like this new you , do n't you ? carefree . you 're , i do n't know , you 're uninhibited . jackie : oh , deacon , you know what that does to me . stop . deacon : that 's exactly what it does to me . why do n't you just give in ? better yet , why do n't you -- why do n't you move in ? jackie : what did you say ? deacon : jackie , you got to get out of the penthouse . you got to make a clean break . where better to do it than here ? with me ? jackie : you ca n't be serious . deacon : do i look like i 'm joking ? jackie : then you 've completely lost your mind . i mean , i ca n't possibly move in here . what would people think ? deacon : you see , you see baby , this is your problem , right . you are too concerned with what people think . to hell with what people think . why do n't you put what you want to do first for a change . jackie : still , i mean , moving in with a younger man , a much , much younger man -- it would n't work . it 's ridiculous . deacon : you 're that sure ? jackie : i 'm sure that nicky would never speak to me again . deacon : honey , i got news for you . he ai n't speaking to you right now . jackie : oh , deacon . deacon : jackie , i 'm not saying that the guy is not going to come around . i 'm just saying -- why the hell do you want to put your happiness on hold until he does ? jackie : what about massimo ? i mean , he thought that i was cheating on him . he hired you to follow me . if i moved in here it would just -- deacon : listen to me . i can handle your ex . jackie : no , you ca n't . if massimo found out that you were playing him for a fool , he 'll come after you , deacon . he would make your life a living hell . deacon : i want -- jackie : no . i care about you too much to ever let that happen . samantha : god , hector , i hate this . hector : i 'm not blaming you , sam , okay ? i 'm just pointing out -- samantha : -- that i was in way over my head . hector : you should 've come to me when caitlin first told you about rick . samantha : i know . i just wanted caitlin to feel like she could trust me -- with anything . the way i could n't with my mother . hector : i can understand that . it 's what every parent wants . but it does n't mean that -- i do n't have all the answers , sam . caitlin 's life is changing so fast . and if ever there 's been a time when she 's needed a mother and a father to set some limits -- samantha : i 'm sorry , hector . god , you know , four months ago , i did n't even know that i had a daughter . and now look at me , i 'm trying to be a parent and , obviously , i do n't have the first clue what that 's about . hector : hey , look at me . your life has gone through so many changes , too . being a mother ? there 's no instruction manual on that . caty 's growing up so fast . too fast . i think her biggest decision used to be , you know , what to wear to school . now she 's designing and modeling high fashion . deciding whether or not to go to bed -- no way is she ready for that . samantha : i agree . hector : so we 're going to pull together now . and be the parents that she needs . samantha : loving , but firm . hector : right . and we 're going to steer her away from rick forrester . rick : you 're already angry at your father . caitlin : and that 's why you 're keeping whatever this is from me ? you think my dad did this on purpose . rick : no . no , i do n't think he meant to hit me . caitlin : but ? rick : after i was hit and i was lying on the ground , your dad brought me some oxygen . but he would n't -- he just -- i could n't breathe . but all your dad could focus on was whether or not we had sex . he kept asking me . and he would n't give me the mask . hector : did you have sex with caitlin ? answer me ! caitlin : oh , my god . you could 've died . rick : no , he would n't have let it go that far . caitlin : how do you know that ? god , i am such an idiot . why did i tell him ? rick : caitlin , do n't blame yourself , okay ? you were just -- caitlin : i wanted him to understand -- but he did n't . rick : he 's probably never going to . caitlin : do n't say that , rick . do n't let him get to you . yes , he 's angry -- angrier than i 've ever seen . but he fell in love with my mom when she was my age . rick : and she got pregnant . and he does n't want that happening to you . that 's why he put the fear of god in me last night . and it 's working . hector : i 'll do whatever it takes to protect our daughter . but the most important thing , samantha , is that we 're together on this . caitlin needs to know that her parents are in sync , especially when it comes to rick . so , we are in sync , are n't we ? or do you still think this is more than a crush ? samantha : well , the point is that caitlin thinks that it 's more than that . and her parents telling her it 's not is n't going to change it . but you 're right , she 's not ready for this . i ca n't stand the thought of her facing what i faced at her age . being pregnant and your world turned upside down . so we have to protect her . it 's up to us to keep her grounded . hector : she will thank us for this one day . not that she 'd admit it now . samantha : after last night , you mean ? hector : well , after last night i doubt she even wants to see me . but we will get through to her . together . hector : rick , on the other hand ? i 'm going to have to handle , on my own . deacon : jackie , i 'm a big boy . i can take care of myself . jackie : you do n't know massimo like i do . deacon : he does n't scare me . jackie : he can be a very ruthless man , deacon and i so need for you to take this seriously . massimo took you into his trust , into his family . do you know what that means ? deacon : i know what it means is that italian stallion ai n't going to dictate my life and he 's not going to dictate yours . jackie : all right , all right , all right . we do have to be careful . just for the moment , we have to be careful . deacon : all right . all right , i hear you . but i 'm not giving up . i want to wake up next to you every day . i want to scarf down a big plate of bangers and i want to go out and hit the beach . i want to rub sun tan oil all over that sexy body of yours . or you know , we could just skip that and we can just stay inside and make love all afternoon . jackie : actually , i 'm rather fond of that option . deacon : so am i . caitlin : rick , please , listen to me . my father ca n't keep us apart if we do n't let him . rick : it 's not that simple , caitlin . we both know it . caitlin : why wo n't anyone listen to us ? i mean , they 're all so sure they know so much better what this is than we do . you know it 's real . rick : to your father -- caitlin : i 'm still a little girl . but i 'm not . okay , maybe we were going a little too fast . but if we promise my dad that we 'll slow down , then -- rick , please do n't give up on us . deacon : i 'm thinking sean penn and catherine zeta , what 's - her - name . jackie : for what ? deacon : to play us , in the movie . jackie : what are you talking about ? deacon : it 's a classic hollywood story . bad boy , that would be , that would be me . and the beautiful , high society broad , that would be you . they fall for each other . and against all odds , they wind up very , very satisfied . jackie : are n't you 're forgetting one thing ? the key role . the possessive ex- husband who suspects the affair . deacon : hey . hey , lady , this ai n't an affair . this is the real deal . jackie , i knew that from the first time i kissed you and you kissed me back . jackie : no , i did n't . i was furious at you for being so presumptuous . deacon : yeah , well the sparks were there , were n't they ? jackie : yeah . i guess that 's why i was so mad . deacon : and now ? jackie : now i 'm starting to think that you are the best thing that 's happened to me in a long , long time . deacon : tell me more . jackie : well , my urge to drink has been replaced by an urge to -- deacon : it 's a helluva rush , is n't it ? jackie : especially after waiting so long for massimo to call . hoping he was gon na take me back . but hey , that did n't happen . and i 'm glad . because i would never , ever have known what it felt like to be this alive . and deacon , i am alive every second i 'm with you . [ cell phone rings ] deacon : just ignore it . caitlin : your mom 's gon na be so relieved you 're doing better . when i spoke to her earlier you were still pretty out of it . but she insisted on catching the first plane back . rick : you told her i was gon na be okay , though , right ? caitlin : yeah , but she 's your mom , she wants to see for herself . so , you hungry ? rick : now that you mention it , i could go for some -- caitlin : okay , i 'll go find the nurse . get you something . i love you . hector : i understand you 're gon na be fine . i 'm glad . rick : right . hector : rick , it was an accident . i never meant to -- rick : withhold oxygen from me ? hector : look , i 'm a paramedic , as well as a fireman . you were n't in any danger . rick : but i did n't know that . all i knew was that i could n't breathe . hector : i needed answers . rick : you got them . hector : caitlin thinks that she 's in love with you . rick : we are in love . hector : rick , you were carrying on with a minor . so , if you wo n't listen to me , maybe you 'll listen to the police . rick : what do you expect me to do ? hector : you 're going to tell caitlin that this will never work . the relationship is over . and it is over , rick . rick : because you said so . hector : because , if you do n't end it , i will . rick : do you have any idea what this is going to do to caitlin ? hector : all i know is that in just a minute she 's gon na come walking through that door . and you 're going to make it very clear . there 'll be no more backstage kisses , secret meetings , nothing . you got that ? rick : do i have any choice ? hector : we all have choices . but know this -- you may 've faced a lot of things in your life , but you 've never faced the wrath of an angry father . so , be smart . back away . or i promise you , you 'll regret it .	hector and sam discuss how she let him down by not telling him about rick and caitlin . she beats herself up for not being a good mother . they agree to be firm with caitlin . hector says he will take care of rick himself . caitlin is still at rick 's bedside . he tells her about hector reluctantly withholding his oxygen . she is shocked . she vows to stay with rick , despite her father , but rick is n't so sure now . while she is away for a minute , hector comes in and threatens rick , saying she is a minor so he will have to deal with the police . caitlin sees her father leaning over rick 's bed threateningly and ca n't believe it . rick and deadon continue to have fun , and lots of sex , while they discuss her options . he wants her to move in with him , but she fears massimo 's reaction . meanwhile , massimo phones her .

[ scene_break ] whip : it 's always more than professional with us , do n't you think ? we share a very close quarters here . there 's not many secrets that we do n't keep from one another . stephanie : ( chuckles ) are you kidding ? there 's more skeletons in these closets than there are gowns to put on them . i know you do n't like owen . i just do n't understand why you 're concerned about the state of his marriage . whip : well , jackie cares . i care about her . stephanie : yeah , i 've noticed . whip : oh , you have , huh ? stephanie : mm - hmm . oh , look , i - i - i 've learned to care about her , too , you know ? ( inhales sharply ) we 've buried more than one hatchet in each other over the years , but , um , but i 've come to appreciate her and , uh , care about her . why ? did she tell you that , uh , her marriage with owen was over ? whip : what ? no . why -- why could n't she just leave well enough alone ? stephanie : and what does `` leave things well enough alone `` mean ? whip : all right , just -- just forget about it . she did n't have -- ( sighs ) it did n't have to be this way . stephanie : `` it did n't have to be this way . `` you know , you 're a lousy poker player . i -- ( laughs ) i did n't say the marriage was over . i just asked the question . so what is it that owen does n't know that we 're supposed to keep quiet about ? whip : i was with jackie last night . [ scene_break ] nick : even though it was just a kiss , she feels as though she needs to tell owen the truth about it . bridget : well , she 's right , nick . you ca n't keep secrets like that in a relationship . you do agree with that , do n't you ? nick : uh , yeah . i mean , sure . you ca n't keep secrets . you got to be honest about things , no matter how much it hurts the other person . bridget : wow , i ca n't believe that just came out of your mouth . nick : do you think i have n't learned anything ? bridget : no , i never said that . nick : no , you did n't say that . bridget : i would have never married you if i did n't think you had learned something . nick : well , anyway , she 's telling him the truth about it as we speak . god help her . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] owen : you know what ? i 'm sorry for what my brother did , but i 'm not responsible for it . jackie : well , i know that now . owen : well , you should have known it . jackie , you should have had a little more faith in me . jackie : i do n't think you 're being quite fair . owen : oh , come on . have i -- have i ever spoken to you or about you the way that he did ? my god , we were away from each other for what , a few hours ? did you forget about everything that we said to each other ? jackie : no . no . no , of course i did n't , but there you were on the screen telling the whole world -- owen : i know . you thought that it was me . but my god , did you ever think about maybe that there was something terribly wrong ? that maybe i had been drugged ? maybe that there was -- there was a gun pointed at me or i 'm , like , having a psychotic breakdown ? anything but to jump to the conclusion that every moment that we ever spent together was a lie ? jackie : ( sighs ) owen : you know , if the roles were reversed , i would have known . i would have -- i would have said , `` what have they done to jackie ? `` jackie : you really do n't understand , do you ? you just do n't understand . i could n't breathe . i thought i was going to die . i wanted to die . owen : oh , my god . you 've got such a flair for overstatement . what , do you think that -- that i have never experienced anything like that ? look , i had to tell myself that it was a joke . that it was just -- that it was just p.r . , but you lead me around by a leash calling me your boy toy . jackie : ( groans ) oh , i should n't have allowed that . owen : allowed it ? what ? allowed it ? you -- you loved it . you and whip were eating it up . jackie : this is n't about whip . i do n't have feelings for whip . owen : well , he 's got a thing for you , and you can not deny that . jackie : owen , please . you are the only , only man that i love . owen : ( sighs ) look , and what , he never pursued you ? jackie : no . owen : and you 're not in love with him ? jackie : no . owen : and nothing like this has ever happened before ? jackie : once . just once . there was , um ... there was a little kiss on -- on the cheek . it -- it -- it was nothing . owen : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . ( stammers ) a - a kiss ? wait , you -- just -- just one other -- one other time ? jackie : it was n't anything . i mean , it was after the fashion challenge , and he just gave me a little kiss on the cheek . it was nothing . it was nothing . owen : look , you know what ? it seems to me that maybe our marriage is nothing . [ scene_break ] whip : jackie had , you know , a little bit too much champagne . stephanie : oh , right . whip : she thought the -- the interview that owen had was his way of dissing her and their marriage , calling it quits for good . stephanie : oh , please . emotional distress can drive you to drink , sure . but it does n't automatically drive you into someone else 's bed . whip : now what you 're thinking did not happen ... stephanie : uh - huh . whip : okay , stephanie ? look , i just wanted to help . i did n't want it to be something that she regretted in the morning . stephanie : oh , i see . so you -- you think you care for her . whip : yes , of -- of course i care . she 's an incredible woman . stephanie : whip , come on . get a grip here . are you sure you 're not -- are you sure you 're not infatuated with this -- this creature that you 've created ? this whole jackie m. persona that you 've molded for public consumption ? are you sure that 's not what this is about ? [ scene_break ] bridget : so jackie is telling owen right now ? nick : yeah . bridget : well , honey , that 's why you 're so uptight . nick : well , i just hope he believes her and it does n't become some big deal . bridget : you know , when i think about how hard you fought this relationship -- nick : which is just me being wrong again . i admit it . when i 'm really honest -- i 've never seen my mother happier , and i hope this thing does n't get blown out of the water because of some kiss with whip jones . [ scene_break ] jackie : owen , you 're making too much of this . our marriage -- it -- it means the world to me . owen : but it was n't the first time you had kissed whip , jackie . look , it 's happened before . jackie : i told you . it was after the fashion challenge , and everybody was exhausted . our -- our feelings were running high , and -- and he leaned in and he gave me a little kiss on the cheek . owen : ( sighs ) jackie : i did n't invite it . i did n't take part in it , and i told him afterward it was a mistake . owen : that son of a bitch . wait , you -- wait , you discussed it with him before you even discussed it with me ? jackie : darling , it was nothing . you are the man that i love . owen : oh , my god . you know what ? i ca n't -- i do n't understand how you could bring another man up here into our home . jackie : no , it was n't here . owen : what are you talking about ? wait , you -- you went upstairs ? you went up to his place ? what the hell were you thinking ? jackie : i was n't thinking . i was dying . all those cruel things that your brother had said . i thought i 'd lost you . i thought i never had you . he was just there telling me that . i was n't thinking ! owen : so you needed someone . jackie : yes . owen : and you went -- you went to whip , the one man that you had already kissed ? the one man that i -- you know i can not stand . jackie : ca n't you understand that i was actually heartbroken ? owen : look , jackie , yes . i can understand you being -- you needing somebody in three weeks or , my god , maybe a month . but in less than the time that it took me to drive home from san diego ? jackie : it was a mistake . it was a terrible mistake , one that i am going to regret forever and ever and ever . please , owen . i am begging you . do not let this destroy us . do n't do that . please do n't do that . please . please . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i did n't think i 'd have to have a conversation like this with you . i thought you were a more sophisticated fellow . whip : oh , what , that i 'm not supposed to fall in love with my boss ? stephanie : mm - hmm . whip : no kidding . ( sighs ) look , stephanie , i did n't mean for this to happen . all i wanted to do was -- was help jackie . i wanted to comfort her . i did n't want to complicate her life . stephanie : yeah , well , you have complicated everything , have n't you ? whip : you want me to resign ? stephanie : no , i do n't want you to resign . we 've taken a couple of big hits with this fashion challenge , and now this silly twins thing . uh , no . we need positive p.r . to get us through this , and you -- you 're my guy . that 's what you excel at . so ... do me a favor though ? could you concentrate and use this head this time ? whip : thanks . i appreciate it . stephanie : just make sure it happens . [ scene_break ] bridget : you know , i 'm really , really impressed with your change in attitude . nick : about my mother and owen ? bridget : yeah . 'cause you were pretty certain that he was just using her . nick : well , you had your doubts at first , too . bridget : true , i did . but i never saw him take advantage of her . nick : right . do n't forget what she 's done to this guy , too . i mean , the way she 's dressed him up , the photo shoots , they way she 's paraded him around like a trophy . and he 's not spending her dough , buying cars , different stuff , you know ? he 's pulling his weight . he makes her happy . bridget : that 's something i know a little about -- when a man can make a woman happy . bridget : god , i hope he can get beyond this . it 's gon na be tough , because he really , really trusted her . but it can happen . look at me with you . nick : ( chuckles ) nick : and we know my mother 's a force to be reckoned with . she 'll convince him . bridget : yeah . [ scene_break ] jackie : okay , what can i do ? what can i do to make you understand ? owen : how could a kiss mean something to me that it does n't mean to you ? being married means something to me that it does n't mean to you , jackie . jackie : absolutely not . my love for you is real , and it is forever . owen : look , i just do n't understand you . i mean , how could you run to whip ? jackie : ( sighs ) oh , i do n't know either . i do n't know either . look , i can see how much you 're hurting , and it 's really breaking my heart , but that 's how i was feeling when i thought that you -- owen : look , i know . i know . when you -- when you thought it was me . but how could you think that those words could even come out of my mouth ? jackie : i was n't the only one . everyone believed you . owen : but , jackie , i - i get everyone else , okay ? i get everyone else . but what i do not get -- i do not get you . and it just kills me to sit here and just to realize that you 've got that little faith in me . jackie : it was me . it was my own insecurity . it was n't anything to do with you . it was just my fear that what we have is just too good to be true . owen : ( scoffs ) well , maybe it is . jackie : what ? do n't say that . please do n't say that . you ca n't mean that . owen , please . just try to understand . owen : look , i ca n't , jackie . i ca n't -- i ca n't see this the way that you do . jackie : well , can you at least try ? i mean , can you give me just one more chance to -- to -- to win back your love ? owen : look at me . i love you , okay ? jackie : ( sighs ) owen : there 's no mistake about that . jackie : then you love me and -- and i love you , so you ca n't let this tear us apart . you ca n't . owen : oh , you know , so many people -- so many people have been against us . they never thought that what we had was real . look , they never thought that we could make this work . you know , and it kills me . it kills me to say this , but i think maybe they were right . jackie : you do n't mean that . owen : look , jackie , you and i are from two different worlds . we -- ( sighs ) it 's never been more evident . look , we do n't see things the same . it 's -- i do n't know . maybe it 's just that we 're not -- we 're not compatible . jackie : oh , no . how can you say that ? how can you think that ? owen : look , how can you ask that ? after only a - a space of a few hours , you -- you -- you -- you run to another man . jackie : that was wrong and ... wrong . owen : and you run to another man . look , i 'll come back , and i 'll get my stuff , my -- my board and my clothes , because i -- i ca n't do this . i - i ca n't . jackie : no , no , no , no , owen . you 're not going . owen : jackie , no , i ca n't ... jackie : no , you 're not going . please . owen : do this , and i will come to the office , and i 'll get my stuff ... jackie : no . no . no , no . owen : because i ca n't work at jackie m. right now , all right ? jackie : i 'm going to fire whip . he 's gone . he 's out of there . he 's fired . he 's not there anymore . owen : look , jackie ... jackie : i 'll do anything . you 're not leaving our marriage . owen : i ca n't live like this . i ca n't live like this . jackie : we 're married . you 're not leaving . this is -- owen : no , i ca n't live like this . i ca n't -- how am i supposed to know that i can trust you ? jackie : you can . you can . owen : i ca n't trust you . jackie : please , owen . do n't leave . owen : i ca n't trust you . jackie : ( sobs ) owen : look , but i 'm gon na love you , jackie . i 'm always gon na love you . this is good - bye , okay ? i got to go . this is good - bye . ( door closes ) jackie : ( sobs )	owen is shocked and disappointed even if it was only just a kiss between whip and jackie . jackie begs him to forgive her . she needed someone and whip was there , but nothing more happened . owen said she should have had a little more faith in him . she could have waited a few more hours , and perhaps thought that something was wrong , but not jumped to the conclusion that everything he said was a lie . she reminds him that she has no feelings for whip and owen is the only man she loves . he has serious thoughts that their love means nothing , just like the kiss which she says was nothing . stephanie and pam fill whip in on more details about the press conference . stephanie knows whip does n't like owen , but she does n't know why whip is so concerned about their marriage . now he 's complicated everything , but he is still her guy and she does not want him to resign .
steffy : if this is how you make nice ...

( sighs ) stop being so defensive . steffy : it 's called self - protection . you get hurt by somebody enough , you learn to put up walls . brooke : ( sighs ) i know that i 've caused damage . and i should have respected your parent 's relationship more than i did , but there has to be some way that we can heal these wounds . i will try anything . steffy : you know , i 'm happy that you admit some responsibility , but it does n't change anything . my parents are still divorced . you ripped my family apart . well , maybe there 's something you can do . leave this company , at least until this whole media frenzy dies down .

[ scene_break ] ridge : thank you , ladies . what do you want ? liam : uh , um , i - i heard that forrester is suing spencer publications , and i came to offer my help . um ... i realize that i 'm probably on your short list of least favorite people , but i am going to undo the damage that i caused , one way or another , even if that means fingering justin barber and bill spencer in open court , plus apologizing to steffy , which i 've already done , by the way . but i owe you ... an apology , too , for just blurting that -- that -- that you were my father , when all i had to go on were these articles and , uh , what my mom said about my father being at forrester . it could be anybody in -- in these pictures , really . anyway , i - i hope that you wo n't hold it against me or let it keep you from having an open mind . ridge : about what ? liam : about me and your other daughter , hope . [ scene_break ] bill : i 'm not in the mood , jarrett . do n't aggravate me . jarrett : ( sighs ) well ... excuse me for saying it , but that is you and liam 's mother in that picture , is it not ? bill : just because you 're in a photo with somebody does n't mean you 're involved . jarrett : methinks thou doth protest too much . bill : well , methinks you 're looking to get cracked in the mouth , jarrett . jarrett : bill , really . come on , what 's the big mystery ? i mean , she was a beautiful young woman . you were a handsome young man . uh , still are , of course . ( chuckles ) i mean , you had your relationship , found yourselves going your separate ways after graduation never to cross paths again , until years later when the lovely lady 's son winds up in your employ by sheer coincidence . or is there more to it ? katie : more to what ? [ scene_break ] ridge : what do you know about hope ? liam : uh , well not much yet , but i was hoping to change that with your permission . ridge : my permission ? liam : yeah , i think your daughter 's really special , mr. forrester , and i 'd like to ask her out , if -- if that 's okay with you . okay , it 's not . you do n't want me anywhere near her . ridge : i 'm very glad we understand each other .

[ scene_break ] steffy : are you kidding me ? you know as well as anyone what her actions have done to this company . oh , my god , i got ta show you this . look , everyone is making fun of her , on the magazines , the internet . check out this clip i found . it 's called `` the chaperone . `` internet voice : now with the parents gone and the children alone guess who 's here with the chaperone steffy : ( chuckles ) internet voice : it 's a favorite task she even brings a mask forget your fears steffy : ( laughs ) internet voice : it 's brooke the chaperone so if you 're ready to party just pick up the phone ( telephone rings ) internet voice : ai n't no reason for being alone dial 1 - 8 - 8 - 8 brooke the chaperone one more time ( telephone rings ) internet voice : dial 1 - 8 - 8 - 8 brooke the chaperone . who 's ready to party ?

[ scene_break ] ridge : logan , you are n't going anywhere . that 's not the solution . brooke : ( sighs ) it would keep you from having to choose between your wife and your daughter . ridge : it 's not gon na come to that . brooke : ridge , it already has . when you did n't fire me today , like steffy and your mother wanted . ridge : that was a business decision . brooke : no ... ( sighs ) it 's a lot more than that . i am your wife . and if it was anybody else that was in my situation , you would have fired them a long time ago . ridge : logan , listen to me . despite everything that 's happened , you belong here . you have so much to contribute . brooke : i know . i know . and i want to do that , but i ca n't , now that i 'm center stage in a scandal that has cost forrester creations so much , not to mention what it 's still costing hope and me and our relationship .

[ scene_break ] katie : baby , talk to me . i - i 'm completely in the dark here . bill : i do n't have any answers . katie : well , i 'm not asking any questions , at least apparently the right ones . i - i just do n't understand what 's going on . i mean , i come in here , you 're all upset about this intern that you fired . you have jarrett digging into his background . i mean what are you looking for ? i - i just do n't understand . kelly hopkins . she 's pretty . how do you know her ? bill : it 's not what you 're thinking . katie : i 'm not thinking anything . bill : she 's the intern 's mother . he may be my son . [ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) marcus , i 'm so sorry . are you all right ? marcus : i 'll be fine . it was the press . they were all worked up , and they were yelling things . brooke : about me . ridge : we 're very sorry you had to go through that . i 'm grateful , though , you were n't injured . brooke : thank you . thank you for trying to defend me . marcus : oh , of course . ridge : marcus , would you excuse us for a moment ? marcus : sure . brooke : ( sighs ) steffy : dad , i know you want to stand up for brooke . you 've done it over and over again , and no one can question your loyalty . but you got ta see what 's happening . dad , we are being bombarded by the press at every front because of your wife . we have to change that . we have to refocus their attention and ours , concentrate on fashion , style , elegance , show the world that we 're a family that functions , not dysfunctions . which is definitely not the message that they 're getting from these , all right ? every cover is about scandal , not a new line . that 's what defines us now , scandal . you know , dad , you keep saying it 's gon na get better and better , but honestly , it 's getting worse and worse . today , a reporter threw a bottle of water marcus . tomorrow , who knows ? dad , look , i - i know you are in a terrible position , all right , and i know you have to make an emotional decision , but i am begging you . you have to do what 's right for all of us , for the family , for the company and even brooke . you know , just -- just make her leave the company , at least until this scandal blows over . dad , i - i 'm not asking you as your daughter . i am asking you as an owner . you are ceo . you know what you have to do . brooke has to go .... today .	brooke tells steffy that she loves her . she helped raise her and she hates they do n't get along any more , but steffy wo n't meet her half way . there has to be some way they can mend these wounds . she will try anything . steffy tells her that she did rip her family apart and perhaps it would be good if she left the company until this media frenzy dies down . liam suddenly shows up at ridge 's office and offers his help since he heard they are suing spencer publications . he owes him an apology too for saying that ridge was his father . he hopes he wo n't hold it against him . he states that hope is very special and he 'd like to ask her out if he has ridge 's permission . hope overhears this and tells him that he 's very sweet . she grabs him by the arm and tells him to come with her . they have a close conversation on the sky roof . steffy finds thomas in a foul mood . by time marcus joins in on the mix of how the media is throwing water on him , steffy says he can help her settle this situation . brooke tells ridge that she tried with steffy , but she is insistent that she leave the company . ridge tells her despite all that has happened , brooke belongs there and he wo n't let her leave .
steffy : you gave her the commitment that she 's been waiting for , but she wants you to wait till the wedding ? what ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't understand , honey . i thought this is what you wanted . now you say you want to wait ? hope : ( sighs ) brooke : what happened ? [ scene_break ] ridge : the showing went very well . i will give hope and her new fiancé your best wishes . ciao lentino . ciao . ciao . grazie . taylor : word travels fast , huh ? ridge : well , it 's not every day a girl gets proposed to on the runway . taylor : yeah . i 'm very happy for hope . i just wish it was n't at our daughter 's expense . [ scene_break ] steffy : so talk to me . what happened ? liam : you know what happened . steffy : i know i never expected to see you here tonight -- not alone , anyway . liam , you just got engaged . you still engaged ? hey , hope flip - flopped . you know , maybe she decided to not go through with the engagement , either . liam : we 're still getting married . steffy : okay , your fiancée just decided to push back the time table for her giving herself to you , right ? liam : there 's not -- uh , no , there is n't a time table , and -- and by the way , this is kind of private . you know , this is between hope and me . and , yeah , i 'm disappointed , but waiting till the honeymoon is n't the end of the world . steffy : it just feels like that , huh ? [ scene_break ] ridge : doc , i understand why you might feel this way . taylor : well , no , i should n't have put it that way . it 's just that ... ( sighs ) well , our daughter was just starting to develop feelings for liam . ridge : now he 's engaged to hope . taylor : yes , and i -- i 'm not trying to put you in the middle . nobody knew liam was going to propose , least of all steffy , so i ca n't even imagine how this is going to affect her . i 'm very concerned about that , ridge . i know she 'll put on a big bravado that everything is okay , but you know it 's not . how can it be ? she 's already losing another man she 's just gotten attached to , and unfortunately , it happens to be to hope . [ scene_break ] brooke : honey , i know you were anxious when you left here earlier , and that is understandable . it 's a big moment in a young woman 's life . was it liam ? did he do something ? hope : ( sighs ) no , mom . it was me , okay ? i changed my mind . [ scene_break ] liam : look , i 'm not here because of what happened or did n't happen between hope and me tonight . steffy : okay , i 'll bite . why are you here ? liam : why are you here ? steffy : i was n't anxious to go home to an empty apartment , okay ? oh , do n't think i do n't know what you 're doing . liam : oh , yeah ? what am i doing ? steffy : avoiding my question why you 're here . liam : ( chuckles ) i 'm here , because i wanted a beer . steffy : mm . liam : and now i need another one . excuse me . steffy : so -- wow , okay , you want to get wasted . liam : no , i do n't . i just want to clear my head a little bit , or try to . steffy : all right . go on . liam : hope left . i took a walk down the beach . steffy : to clear your heart or try to , because hope 's been messing with it all night . look , just admit it . you 're frustrated as hell right now , but you did n't know i was gon na be here , but fate intervened , the same way as the night you saved my life . [ scene_break ] madison : it 's what happened after that 's got him down , ashleigh -- liam 's runway proposal to hope . it 's gon na be tough . ashleigh : well , this girl 's not gon na let him wallow . madison : ( laughs ) ashleigh : after tonight , mr. oliver james is gon na be thinking , `` hope who ? `` madison : whoa ...

[ scene_break ] taylor : okay , she is n't answering her cell . she is n't here in the building anywhere . she 's not at her apartment . i do n't know what 's going on . this is a difficult night for her , ridge does n't want her to be alone like this . ( touch - tones beeping ) taylor : who are you calling ? ridge : maybe brooke knows something ? hey , logan , it 's me . taylor 's here . any chance you 've seen steffy ? brooke : ( sighs ) she was here a little while ago to see hope . ridge : i thought hope was at liam 's . brooke : she was , but she 's home now . ridge : is hope okay ? brooke : ( sighs ) she and liam -- ok it did n't happen tonight . [ scene_break ] liam : ( sighs ) steffy : face it , liam . hope has issues . and if you ca n't see that after tonight , just -- liam : you do n't even know what happened tonight . steffy : okay , so tell me . fine . liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : fine , i will tell you . liam : oh , okay . steffy : you were very sweet and loving , and you did n't pressure her in any kind of way , and then you finally thought it was gon na happened for you two , and her issues got to her , and she freaked out . liam : she did not freak out . she -- she -- you do n't even know what you 're talking about right now . steffy : do n't be too sure . i was with brooke earlier on . i know about the romantic evening you and her daughter were supposed to have , including all -- liam : oh , no , she did not tell you about that . okay , look , the -- the -- the thing with the high heels and the lingerie , i mean , all the stuff that her mom gave that 's -- that 's brooke . that 's not hope . it made hope uncomfortable , you know ? steffy : sorry , my friend . no sale . oh , she knew that hot number would get you all worked up , and then she paraded around in front of you , and then she pulled it away . liam : ( laughs ) steffy : i 'm sorry , but i just -- liam : you are -- steffy : i think that 's cruel . liam : you are wrong . you are so wrong . steffy : okay . liam : that 's not okay . that 's who hope is . she respects her body . she does n't take sex lightly -- i mean , the -- all the same stuff that hope for the future is about . i mean , she 's trying to be a role model here . steffy : is she trying to be a role model , or is she trying to control you ? she 's going to continue to be like this after you 're married . and if you 're honest , you know , i think you already know that . [ scene_break ] madison : it 'll help take your mind off of -- what do you keep looking at ? ashleigh : ( giggles ) oliver : liam and steffy are out there . madison : outside in the cabana ? ashleigh : where 's hope ? oliver : that 's what i 'm wondering . ashleigh : liam just proposed . he should be with his fiancée tonight of all nights . madison : what do you think is going on ? [ scene_break ] taylor : is everything okay with hope ? did something happen ? ridge : yes . ( sigh ) and no . taylor : well , what does that mean , and what does that have to do with steffy ? ridge : steffy went to , uh , find hope , but hope had already left . taylor : she went to see liam . so what is all of this talk going on about this being a special night for hope ? what -- what is that about ? is that -- is it something more that the engagement ? is that what i 'm understanding ? ridge : i 'm not sure exactly what happened tonight , but , uh , i know what did n't happen . i guess hope changed her mind . taylor : but they 're still engaged ? ridge : yeah . all in all , i do n't really see that this is anybody else 's business but hope and liam . [ scene_break ] hope : hey , here 's a wacky idea . um , why do n't we just send out a press release ? that way everybody knows that brooke logan 's daughter is waiting until her honeymoon , which i 'm sure is something you ca n't even begin to understand . brooke : sweetheart , i do respect your decision to wait , and i can understand why you want to make different choices about men and relationships . i was n't exactly the best role model . hope : ( sighs ) mom , i 'm -- i 'm not trying to criticize you . i just -- i 've seen the consequences of those choices . i - i mean , i felt them . i 've lived them , and i want to make , you know , different decisions for my life , personally and professionally . brooke : like your line for hope for the future , how you 're using your line to make a statement to young people about living responsibly . hope : yes , and i - i 'm not trying to preach , and i 'm not trying to force my values onto other people , but i do think that being intimate with someone is a really important decision , one that should n't be taken lightly , and i want to stick to that message and be true to it . brooke : and you will . you already are . i am so proud of you . i really am . and liam is , too , i 'm sure . [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) liam : look , hope does n't play games . she does n't use sex for anything . she 's just trying to make the right choices for herself . you know ? steffy : well , what about you ? liam : ( sighs ) steffy : what is she doing to you to make you wait ? a - and do n't you dare say this is n't driving you crazy you because she 's holding out . we both know you are . liam : she 's not holding out . steffy : whatever . look , your fiancée and i , we could n't view this more differently . my god . you know , to me , its like -- it 's like fireworks , a celebration . you know , just sharing our bodies , feeling these things . hope , on the other hand -- liam : okay , you know , hey . i - i 've got a - a great idea . how about we stop talking about this ? steffy : ( sighs ) liam , i 'm not trying to put down hope , okay ? she has her ideals , and i know that she 's important to you . but you 're important to me . you saved my life . look , i know you 're engaged now . i was ready to back off and respect that . but seeing you this way ... people do n't change , especially after you 're married . liam , i understand you ... [ scene_break ] taylor : absolutely . absolutely it is nobody 's business but hope and liam 's . you know , but i - i 've just got ta say that ... ( sighs ) i really have to wonder if all this conflict hope see to be having is not really just about a moral struggle . maybe there really is n't , you know , a strong , passionate chemistry there . ridge : is that the way you want it to be ? taylor : ridge , we know what steffy 's been through lately , all right ? i really think that she -- she finally understands what real love is . she is n't looking at liam like a father figure . he 's the right age . he makes her feel good about herself , make better choices , and he does care about her , ridge . i know he does . i 'm just saying if liam and hope are n't meant to be together , maybe liam is the one for our daughter . [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) i 've always known how special liam is . brooke : ( sighs ) hope : but tonight , he proved it all over again . brooke : so he does n't mind waiting ? hope : well , uh , he 's not thrilled about it . it 's definitely not gon na be easy . but he gets me . and he understands why i feel the way i do , so , yeah , i believe he 'll wait . [ scene_break ] steffy : you should go easy on that . liam : ( sighs ) i do n't need a mother , thank you . steffy : right . i - i 'm sorry . so have you two lovebirds set a date yet ? liam : steffy , we just got engaged , like tonight . steffy : oh , meaning your fiancée 's gon na drag this on as long as possible , and that the longer she puts off the wedding , the longer it 'll be till your honeymoon night . liam , how are you okay with this ? how does -- how does hope expect you to be ? do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life ? liam , do n't get dragged into a marriage that wo n't give you what you need . ( christina perri 's `` arms `` playing ) steffy : you are a good guy . but you got ta think of yourself , a and it is okay to do that . trust me . i know . i 'm the expert . i just want you to be happy , okay ? but you 're not . no , you keep telling yourself that you 're happy , but things are n't the way they should be , especially tonight . i mean , your engagement night ? liam , come on . you know i 'm right . christina : you put your arms around me and i 'm home steffy : liam , i think i 'm falling for you . do n't go ahead with this engagement . do n't let hope 's issues become yours . christina : i ca n't decide if i 'll let you save my life or if i 'll drown steffy : the reason we 're here , this song -- we liam , you saved my life . now let me save yours . christina : i 'll never let our life get so close you put your arms around me and i 'm home steffy : do n't marry hope . christina : the world is coming down on me and i ca n't find a reason to be loved ( cell phone rings ) christina : i never wanted to leave you but i ca n't make you bleed ( cell phone vibrates ) christina : if i 'm alone you put your arms around me , and i believe that it 's easier for you to let me go . i hope that you see right through my walls . i hope that you catch me 'cause i 'm already falling . i 'll never let our love get so clean . you put your arms around me and i 'm home . you put your arms around me and i 'm home . you put your arms around me and i 'm home	steffy is aghast that liam is being made to wait for hope for their wedding might . they are engaged and he made that commitment , so he does n't need this . she drags him by the arm and wants to see him privately . she goes into one of the cabana tents at the bikini bar and starts drilling him about his fiance pushing back the time table for her to give herself to him . he muses that this is a little private matter between him and hope , not for steffy to deal with . liam denies that hope has issues with sex . brooke made some suggestions , but it just was n't hope . she does n't take sex lightly ; she respects her body . she 's being a role model . steffy thinks it 's more than that . hope is trying to control him and that will continue after they are married . taylor comes to see ridge and says she is very concerned about steffy . no one was expecting this engagement , least of all steffy .yet another man who she is interested in that wo n't be interested in her . ridge calls brooke to find out if she knows anything . brooke tells her it did not happen for hope tonight . that 's about all she knows . liam tells steffy that he 's here just to clear his head a little bit , not to get wasted . she tells him fate intervened again , just the way it did the night he saved her life . brooke questions hope and is disappointed that she got into the lingerie , but still wanted to wait . hope says she felt like someone else . she felt like brooke and she never wants to feel like that about men .

[ sighs ] caroline : [ laughs ] well , let 's drink to it . i mean , coffee , of course . rick : [ sighs ] i - i - i ca n't . i have plans . i 'm sorry . caroline : oh . well , i guess i could have coffee and lemon bars with pam . rick : [ laughs ] caroline : seriously . this is our big coup . i do n't want to celebrate with anyone else . rick : caroline . caroline : i really blew it with you , did n't i ? rick : that 's history . look , we both moved on . caroline : you moved on . rick : well , you will , too . you 'll find someone . you know , someone you can trust . they 'll trust you . we did n't have that . i have that with maya , but you will . you will have that some day . caroline : rick ... there 's something that you need to know . rick : what ? caroline : this is gon na be really difficult for you to hear . rick : i 'm listening . caroline : maya is n't who you think she is . rick : caroline , do n't . caroline : no , i 'm -- i 'm not bashing . i just -- i ca n't keep this in any longer , okay ? maya has not been honest with you . rick : about what ? caroline : there 's something going on between her and carter . rick : do you really want to do this ? after we 've come so far ? caroline : the night of the premiere ... carter stayed the night at maya 's apartment . all night . and i do n't know if anything happened , but he was there . [ scene_break ] carter : i hope rick knows what he has . maya : he 's a good man , carter . carter : you would n't be giving him the time of day if he were n't . maya : you 're a good man , too . carter : that 's why you 're giving me the time of day . maya : rick needs me to be honest , and i have n't been . carter : all because of a night i slept on your couch ? maya : it was a little more than that . carter : i respect your honesty , maya . maya : i hope rick does , too . he 's been lied to by a lot of women -- amber , caroline . carter : there 's a reason . a man who 's lied to by the women in his life -- maybe it 's because they feel they ca n't trust him with the truth . maya : i believe i can . carter : i hope it works out for you . you deserve to be happy . i want to see those gorgeous eyes sparkle , so if ricky can do that ... maya : [ chuckles ] carter : ... so be it . but if it does n't work out for you , you 've got a friend you can lean on . [ scene_break ] caroline : the only reason that i 'm telling you this -- rick : you 're up to your old tricks . caroline : no ! rick : i thought you were over that . caroline : i am ! rick : then why are you telling me lies again ? caroline : it 's not a lie . carter stayed at maya 's house . rick : she would n't have done something like that . caroline : maybe there 's a good reason . rick : it did n't happen , otherwise she would have told me . caroline : okay , look . i know that you do n't want to believe it , rick , but it -- rick : caroline , will you just stop it ? just stop . we had this incredible night , and you want to go ruin it with garbage like this ? caroline : i thought you deserved to know . rick : i 've been through this too many times , okay ? i 'm done . i 'm done . [ footsteps approaching ] caroline : why do n't you ask her yourself ? rick : [ sighs ] maya : you two should be popping champagne bottles . what a day , huh ? rick : yeah . maya : i am so happy for you . and i 'm glad that we finally have some time alone . we need it . what is it , rick ? rick : i heard something . maya : about me ? rick : the night of your premiere , i - i totally blew it . i did n't make it to the show because i was working late here for this show . so [ sighs ] please do n't think that i 'm assuming anything . maya : just say it . rick : i heard that carter spent the night at your place . you see ? i should n't even ever mentioned it . it 's ridiculous . maya : rick . rick : no , no . seriously . it 's dumb . maya : no , it 's okay . i mean -- rick : no , we 've gone through so much already . and you 're so an honest with me and straightforward , and you know how i feel about secrets and what that can do to a relationship . maya : i know . rick : yeah , so , you know , carter at your place ? you know , i know that that did n't happen . maya ? maya , tell me that it did n't happen .	eric tells rick this was not what he expected . thorne and thomas both agree that this was a major yawn . rick will not bring in $ 100 million in sales . caroline says it is all her fault but thorne wo n't let her take the fall . this was on rick 's watch . thorne looks to his dad to see what his decision is going to be . despite the dismal response in person , eric tells them the orders are rushing in from all over the globe . this is n't the way he would have done it , but rick 's guts and initiative is paying off . he welcomes rick to stay as president . hope and caroline are so proud of rick and congratulations are in order . they almost feel sorry for thorne . eric tells rick this is his success and he could n't be more proud . hftf is a big hit . eric tells thorne and thomas that he expects them to work with rick not against him . the buyers want to celebrate with drinks .
liam : so , you delete the video or you take it to the police , but those are the only two options , ivy . ivy : wow . i did n't know you were such a risk taker . liam : i jumped in the seine to save you , did n't i ? ivy : that feels like a million years ago . liam : okay . you want a more recent option ? how about marrying you to keep you in the country ? ivy : see , that -- that 's the bigger risk , because you did n't even really love me . liam : that 's not true . ivy : liam , not like how you love steffy . and now you need me to save her from a prison sentence . liam : i need you to do what 's right . [ scene_break ] ridge : you know i 'm here for you , right ? steffy : always . ridge : so , whatever you 're going through ... steffy : dad , i just -- i do n't want you to worry about this , okay ? ridge : i ca n't not worry about you . i ca n't fathom that you would turn down being the face of forrester and try to give it to ivy . what is that ? steffy : i think it 's for the best . ridge : the best for whom ? steffy : for me . just trust me on this , okay ? ridge : i know you 're struggling , and it 's not just because of your cousin 's death , but it -- something 's bothering you , and i know it is . tell me what i can do . [ scene_break ] caroline : it 's different , thomas , but the california freedom line is just that . it 's ... free . so , no constraints . you know , so i think what we should do is we should , uh -- we should lose the sleeves . and then actually drop the neckline in it . you do n't like it ? thomas : no , no , no . it 's fine . caroline : you were just , like , shaking your head . it 's ... thomas : [ chuckles ] that 's something else . caroline : steffy ? thomas : [ chuckles ] no . caroline : because i think that steffy would look great in this , you know , as the face of forrester . thomas : yeah , yeah . about that -- um , steffy turned it down . caroline : what ? thomas : she handed the position over to ivy . and i think we both know why . [ scene_break ] quinn : so much better in natural light . wyatt : yeah . what can i say ? my mother 's a genius . quinn : ha ! tell that to your girlfriend . i wonder if she 'll approve now that she 's the new face of forrester . wyatt : seriously ? quinn : how did she manage to pull that off anyway ? wyatt : careful , mom . you 're becoming like the rest of them . quinn : like the rest of who ? what ? the forresters ? wyatt : mm . quinn : please . i 'd have to win the lottery to have that happen . wyatt : it 's not about money . it 's about entitlement -- the right to choose because of your last name . quinn : [ chuckles ] you are becoming so cynical . wyatt : i wonder where i got that . quinn : and you think your girlfriend deserves to be a top model ? wyatt : i do . because she 's been passed over , just like me , but not anymore . she holds the winning ticket , and i 'm just ... going along for the ride . [ scene_break ] caroline : steffy handed it over just like that ? thomas : she did n't have a choice . caroline : [ sighs ] ivy ca n't expect to just stay in that position like that . thomas : oh , with what she has on that video ... caroline : ivy 's blackmailing her ? thomas : the only reason steffy went along with that . either that or a possibly murder charge . [ scene_break ] ridge : you 're a tough cookie . and i can be tough , too , when i have to be . so , i think between the two of us , we can figure this out and we can fix it . but you 're keeping something from me . steffy : dad , please do n't pressure me . my cousin is dead . i was there when she left us . [ sighs ] i just need to recover from this , okay ? from all of it . [ scene_break ] ivy : you want me to do what 's right for steffy , not me and certainly not aly . liam : aly is no longer with us . ivy : i know . thanks to your girlfriend . liam : ivy , ha - have you even thought about what it would mean to turn that video over to the police ? your life here would never be the same . i mean , every -- every member of this family would vilify you . is that what you want ? you want to forever be the person who put steffy in prison ? ivy : god , you just -- you love her so much . you 're happy for her to escape justice , are n't you ? liam : no , no , no , no , no . because steffy did not commit murder . ivy : see this ? it suggests otherwise . [ scene_break ] quinn : sounds to me like you 're all in with this ivy . wyatt : we 're working on something . quinn : here at forrester ? wyatt : no more questions , your honor . i plead the fifth . quinn : okay . you know what ? wyatt : mm ? quinn : i hope you 're at least getting something out of this situation . wyatt : oh , i am . quinn : i mean more than that . wyatt : we 'll see . quinn : ever since you and ivy have hooked up , you 've been on some sort of a mission . but it seems to me like ivy 's the only one getting any of the benefits from it . wyatt : because she deserves it , mom . quinn : more than you ? wyatt : hey . i 'll have my moment . trust me . quinn : oh ... there you go again with the cryptic comments . something is going on . tell me what it is . [ scene_break ] caroline : do you really think that steffy could be prosecuted ? thomas : if i were a cop and i saw ivy 's video , i might go straight to the da . caroline : and she -- [ sighs ] she does n't want to tell your dad ? thomas : i know i put you in the middle of this . and i 'm sorry about that . caroline : i promised that i would n't say anything , and i - i 'm glad that you came to me . i mean , somebody 's got to look out for your dad . it might as well be me , right ? thomas : right . caroline : and i - i 'm -- i am glad that i confided in you , too . thomas : about ... wanting a family ? caroline : yeah . i mean , it 's just something i try ... not to think about . [ chuckles ] thomas : it 's the hardest thing not to think about . caroline : yeah , but it helps when you have somebody to talk to , you know , somebody you trust . thomas : that 's me . professional sounding board . caroline : oh , god . am i that bad ? thomas : no , no , no , no . i - i 'm kidding . [ chuckles ] seriously . but ... i - i do think your wanting a family is something that my father needs to consider . [ scene_break ] steffy : i 'm sorry , dad . i know it 's tough . you 're wanting to protect a daughter who does not want to be protected . ridge : it 's tough protecting your daughter if you do n't know what you 're protecting her from . steffy : oh , my god . ridge : this whole thing with aly , it -- steffy : no , dad . we know , okay ? she attacked me . i get it . [ sighs ] ridge : it was n't your fault . hey . i ca n't tell you how to grieve . i 'm not . we all do that in our own way and our own time , but -- steffy : yeah . ridge : she put that on herself . you got to know that , right ? you do know that . steffy : [ sighs ] ridge : so , you got to just try to move past that horrible night , move past it and keep going . or tell me why you ca n't . steffy : [ chuckles ] i just need to resolve this , okay ? ridge : but maybe doing this job would give you the time to -- steffy : dad , no . come on . ridge : at least agree with me that ivy 's the wrong person for it . steffy : please do n't do this . please . ridge : i 'm not . i 'm just -- just take some time . ca n't you just take a few weeks , think about it ? i really do believe it 'd be good for you . it 'll pull you out of this thing . and i 'll talk to ivy . she 'll understand . [ scene_break ] ivy : i do n't know what hurts more -- you defending steffy or your complete refusal to see the truth . liam : the truth ? ! ivy : yeah . liam : the truth is that aly had been planning to murder her . steffy was fighting for her life . ivy : how can you even say that once you 've seen this video ? steffy hits aly with a tire iron . liam : you were there ! you know for a fact there was more to it than that . ivy : okay , well , then should we watch the video again ? because clearly there is something in this that i 'm missing , that i do n't see . liam : you know what ? i do n't care . just because the video looks bad -- ivy : `` looks bad ? `` it 's a murder in progress , liam . god , you 're just -- you 're in such denial . i 've never seen this side of you . liam : yeah , well , i 've never seen this side of you . so eager to stand in judgment . ivy : you know what ? at least my judgment is based on evidence . your judgment is based on obsession . you do n't want to believe that steffy is capable of doing anything wrong , even when it 's right here in front of you . so , maybe you 're right . maybe we do need an objective third party to make a decision on this . how about we go to the police ? [ scene_break ] steffy : dad , i told you . i do n't want to be the face of forrester . ridge : but we need you . steffy : no . you need ivy . ridge : ivy . no . what ? ivy is good . she 's beautiful . she 's talented . but she 's not you . and i really think this would help you just kind of get out of where you are right now . steffy : no , no , no . i wo n't do it , okay ? i wo n't . ridge : i 'll find somebody else . steffy : no , no , no , no . no , you let ivy do it . ridge : what is up -- what is all this talk about ivy ? steffy : because she lost her best friend , okay ? she 's suffering . ridge : we 're all suffering ! steffy : yeah , but she is suffering worse . ridge : i 'm lost . you and thomas -- i do n't get either one of you guys . steffy : i do n't -- i did n't -- i did n't mean to upset you . ridge : i 'm not upset . i 'm ... just worried about you . steffy : no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i 'm fine . did n't i , uh , hear you tell caroline you 'd be home soon ? ridge : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] thomas : i ca n't criticize him . he 's ... a great father . caroline : yeah . i mean , he 's just kind of , uh ... been there , done that . thomas : right . do n't blame him . steffy , phoebe , and i were , uh , a handful . caroline : oh , i doubt that . thomas : steffy way more than me . caroline : now i doubt that even more . thomas : [ chuckles ] well , one thing 's for sure . you 're gon na make a hell of a mom . caroline : mm . that 's really , really sweet . just so long as i have a son , not a daughter . thomas : why ? girls are awesome . caroline : girls are awesome . thomas : yeah . caroline : i am someone 's daughter . but i just do n't want to put anybody through that , especially not me . thomas : it 's called karma , caroline . you 're definitely gon na have a daughter . caroline : no ! thomas : sorry . caroline : oh , god ! [ chuckles ] honestly , i - i would just happily give ridge either one . thomas : so , bring it up with him . he 's reasonable . sometimes . caroline : [ sighs ] your father is not ... a talking - about - the - future kind of a guy . he 's more of a right - now guy . thomas : what if right now sucks ? caroline : how could right now suck ? he has me in his life . thomas : oh , so true . so true . caroline : [ chuckles ] he just kind of likes to live in the moment . thomas : it 's easy for him to say . not really sure where that leaves you . [ scene_break ] wyatt : is something going on ? of course . ivy 's about to be a spokeswoman , and i 'm just hanging on to her coattails . quinn : you have never hung on to anyone 's coattails before , and you 're avoiding my question . wyatt : i 'm not like you , mom . when you are happy , i get suspicious . when i 'm happy -- quinn : you 're usually charming someone , and i got to say , i do n't feel so charmed right now . wyatt : it 's not working ? quinn : not even a little bit . no . you 're up to something . wyatt : [ groans ] quinn : you and your poison ivy . wyatt : hey . ivy just got a big promotion , and hopefully i 'm on my way to one , too . 'cause this is our time -- ivy 's and mine . we have lost out to steffy and liam way too much already . not anymore . [ scene_break ] liam : i 'm sorry . ivy : sorry for what ? liam : for hurting you so much that you have to act out like this . ivy : liam , i am not acting out . liam : the ivy forrester i know would not commit blackmail . ivy : no . the ivy forrester you knew got stepped on , and then her best friend died . liam : i did n't mean to step on you . ivy : i trusted you , liam . i gave you my love . that was huge for me . liam : i know it was . ivy : look , you 're just doing what you always do for women . you play the superhero , the rescuer . you know , i - i fall into the seine , and you jump in after me and save me . and now you 're doing the exact same thing for steffy . she 's in a fix , so you 're trying to help her avoid justice . you just ride in on your white horse and save the day . well , guess what , liam . it 's not gon na happen this time . because unlike you , i know the definition of loyalty , and i will not let aly die in vain . so , if you really want to do what 's right , you go home , and you convince steffy to confess to the police . and you 'd better do it soon , because time is running out and so is my patience . your girlfriend belongs in a courtroom . [ scene_break ] caroline : it 's good . thomas : do n't patronize me , woman . caroline : i did n't say it was great . thomas : wow . please . no , patronize me . go for it . caroline : [ chuckles ] it 's just i know what your dad likes , and ... this business here -- it 's -- it 's very cool , but ... thomas : he 's gon na hate it . probably . caroline : probably he 's gon na hate it . [ laughs ] thomas : [ groans ] caroline : listen . no . you just have to give him what he wants , and then once you 're on the design team , then you can go all crazy . thomas : like he did when he painted that one ? caroline : yes . we -- we did , uh ... [ chuckles ] loosen up a bit that day . thomas : oh , yeah . you loosened something up . that 's for sure . caroline : [ laughs ] do you paint ? thomas : yeah , a little . caroline : do you want to show me ? thomas : tell you what . let 's do one of those . caroline : a nude ? thomas : no , no , no . different angle . uh , the other side of caroline spencer -- her ... [ clears throat ] crazy side . caroline : oh . thomas : strike a pose ? caroline : you mean like this ? thomas : ooh ! how long can you hold that ? caroline : this one ? thomas : oh , yeah . that 's it right there . hold that . hold that . caroline : [ chuckles ] i ca n't . thomas : no , no . hold it . caroline : it 's awful ! thomas : hold it ! caroline : i ca n't ! i 've already quit ! thomas : no , no ! i 've got it . caroline : what is this ? thomas : it 's you . caroline : [ laughs ] why would you even get a brush that big to do it ? thomas : it 's a great shot . ridge : [ clears throat ] what 's going on here ? [ scene_break ] liam : i thought you were gon na ask about how it went with ivy as soon as i walked through the door . steffy : priorities first . now ... how did it go ? liam : not good . steffy : oh , my god . liam : i 'm sorry . steffy : no . what am -- what am i gon na do ? liam : we . we . and we 're not giving up on this . steffy : [ sighs ] all right . all right . and it 's not gon na be easy . my dad is pressuring me . he knows that something 's up . like , i - i feel like i 'm being squeezed from every angle , and i have n't even mourned my cousin 's death . every time i try to think about aly , i keep thinking about is threats and blackmail . oh , my god . i just want to let this go , and i want to move on with my life . liam : our life . and we will , steffy . we will . i promise we 'll figure something out . it 's just -- ivy is so wrong , and she does n't even know it . it 's like she 's a different person . [ scene_break ] wyatt : and you did n't take his bait ? ivy : well , no , but liam did n't make it easy . he kept trying to act like he could dictate terms . and then when he realized that that was n't working , he tried the whole guilt - trip thing on me , and he said that my life around here is gon na be horrible if i take that video to the police . wyatt : you mean he did n't want you telling the truth ? ivy : he 's trying to scare me . trying to . wyatt : of course , he is . 'cause he 's an idiot . ivy : hey , do you want to make a pact ? wyatt : okay . ivy : we have the power here , wyatt . we 're the ones holding the loaded gun . we 've been pushed to the side for far too long . we 've been neglected . we 've been ignored . i mean , look . look at you . look what you did for the hope for the future diamond line . i mean , you put jewelry on the map for forrester creations . and then what did you get for it ? wyatt : i know , but what about you ? why should n't you have your moment in the spotlight ? ivy : well , we know why . it 's because i 'm not ridge 's daughter . but i hold the key to her fate . wyatt : and we should use that key to open some doors , do n't you think ? i want you to have that . i want you to have everything , you know ? ivy : i want that for you , too , wyatt . wyatt : yeah ? ivy : mm - hmm .	liam demands ivy to take one of two options ; delete the video or give it to the police . he wants her to do the right thing and save steffy from going to prison . he reminds her if she did turn the video into the police the entire forrester family would villify her around here . her life would never be the same . she holds up the phone again and says this image would suggest otherwise , that steffy is guilty . ridge knows something is wrong for steffy to turn down being the face of forrester and giving it to ivy . he wants her to share her feelings so he can help . in ridge 's apartment caroline helps thomas with a design and he moves closer to her but all he can think of is his kissing her previously . he explains about steffy turning down the job as the face of forrester . she is glad he can talk to her about this . likewise thomas is glad that she can talk to him candidly about wanting children and perhaps ridge not wanting them .

( sighs ) mom , look , i 'm sorry , okay , but i have a hard time dealing with or believing that stephanie would kill eric just to get back at you . brooke : i have to agree . i mean , we 're talking about the love of her life here . i 'm stephanie 's number one victim , but still , i 'm having a hard time believing that . donna : yeah , but -- but , brooke , what if she -- what if she was n't herself ? brooke : what do you mean ? donna : well , what if maybe she was drinking , or worse . maybe -- maybe one night she just hit rock bottom and -- and she lost her senses . and she 's -- she 's running around the house , she spiked that gin , and in the meantime , she 's acting all accepting of eric and me . i mean , that should have been a tip - off right there . brooke : what ? wait a minute , we 're not talking about stephanie going off on some rampage here . this would take some research . she would have to find out what kind of drug would n't be traceable and then figure out how much she would need . then she would have to figure out a plot where she would n't be implicated . i mean , all of this takes time . what you 're talking about is something premeditated . donna : oh , really ? really ? like , um , befriending that scum andy a year ago and giving him the means to do some serious harm ? i mean , that took weeks of manipulating , brooke . and i bet you she enjoyed every single minute of it . i mean , she has a history of this evil , malicious behavior inside of her , and something is just gon na set it off . marcus : man , is she really that much of a beast ? brooke : stephanie is a human being , marcus , but at times , she has been deeply troubled . donna : oh . oh , your -- your aunt brooke is being extremely charitable , even though she knows stephanie does not deserve it . brooke : but for her to poison eric ? donna : only as a means to get to me , brooke . look , she knew the drug would induce a heart attack , but she never thought it would actually kill him or put him into a coma . her plan was that he would recover and they would eventually find out that she was poisoned , and she could pin it on me . what better way to get eric back and get revenge on me ? my god , she 's just been laying there in the weeds waiting , waiting to make me pay for stealing her husband . it all makes so much sense to me now . my god , who knows what stephanie is capable of ?

[ scene_break ] liam : you have something to tell me , mr. spencer ? bill : no . katie : yes , he does . bill : no , he does n't . katie : you know , at the very least , you two should patch things up , make a fresh start . liam : i - i sorry . ms. -- katie . katie , um , why would i want to do that ? katie : well , because bill wants you to come back and work here . bill : no , i do n't . liam : you know what ? i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you seem like such a nice person , really . but your husband 's a jerk , and i want nothing to do with him , and in fact , every time i look at the dude , i get sick . so , hope , let 's get outta here . katie : oh , just before you go , um , why do n't you take a look at these clippings ... bill : katie , put it down . katie : and -- and see what you -- what you see . liam : okay , i have copies of these . where did you get this ? katie : it does n't matter . liam : what did -- katie : your mother said that your father had something to do with forrester creations , so , um , who do you see in those photos ? liam : yeah , forresters . katie : and who else ? liam : you . katie : yeah . so the clippings that your mother gave you all contain pictures of bill . liam : what are you saying ? bill : she 's not saying anything . now get out of here , both of you . liam : ( scoffs ) oh , my god . you ? you 're my father ?	katie continues to ask questions of bill about liam and he fills her in on kelly hopkins who he was involved with in his senior year of college . she 's dead now so he can not contact her about the possibility . bill tells her to give this a rest , but she insists that if liam is his son that she wo n't let him turn his back on liam like bill 's father did him . hope tells liam that she will do whatever she can for him to help him find his father here at forrester . thorne tells stephanie that he will personally throw liam out if he shows up again pretending to be ridge 's son . he asks his mom who the mother was and is stunned when she names kelly hopkins . thomas shows up at ridge 's office and is at distinct odds with steffy and he wants it on the record that he sides with brooke on this matter . scandal has a short shelf life and this will pass . it 's not fair of steffy to blame everything on brooke . taylor and ridge 's divorce was years ago . so was phoebe 's death and he was devastated by that too , so steffy was n't the only one to suffer and it 's time steffy grows up and deals with it .
hope : othello , please , i need the truth . this is really important to me . rick : it 's okay , othello . you can tell hope what she needs to know . hope : you were in a deejay booth all night . that means you were able to see the entire floor . and if they were making out , you would know . othello : you said you spoke to them . what did they say ? hope : they denied it . but they have lied to me before -- plenty of times . look , you do n't have to spare my feelings . just tell me straight out . othello : ( sighs ) hope : did anything more than partying go on between liam and steffy last night ?

[ scene_break ] hope : i realize i 'm putting you on the spot right now , and i 'm sorry . i would n't do that if it were n't important . i 'm not gon na let liam and steffy make a fool out of me again . rick : i 'm sure that othello can understand where you 're coming from . othello : yeah , yeah , sure . yeah , of course . hope : so you did see liam and steffy last night . othello : yes . hope : okay . just dancing ? were they ... touching , kissing ? othello : ( sighs ) hope : othello , please . othello : okay , yes , yes , yes . i saw something . hope : what exactly did you see ? were liam and steffy kissing ? othello : ( sighs ) hope : do you know something ? rick : okay , here 's the deal . i asked othello the same question before you got here about liam and steffy , and ... he said ... that they were all over each other . hope : what else ? rick : they made out in the corner of the club , and they went upstairs to a cabana . hope : ( sighs ) i wish i could say i 'm surprised . rick : if you 're gon na confront either one of them -- hope : ( sighs ) oh , you bet i will . rick : i 'm not trying to stop you . i just -- you know , i 'm asking if you could protect the source , because technically , othello did n't say it . i did . hope : so this is true ? othello : i 'm sorry , hope , but yes . hope : i appreciate your honesty . ( door closes ) othello : did you see the look on her face ? rick : ( sighs ) i saw it . othello : that was so wrong . she tried to hide it , but her heart was wrecked . rick : ( sighs ) yeah , i know it seems that way . othello : ( scoffs ) rick : but sometimes you have to lie in order for a person to see the truth . othello : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : ( sighs ) well , it 's no secret that you had very strong feelings for hope , strong enough to want to marry her . thomas : yeah , well , that did n't work out too well , did it ? taylor : at the time , i think it was just bad timing . thomas : ( scoffs ) yeah . well , since then , i met carline . taylor : yes i like her . she 's very sweet , and she 's very classy . but caroline came along shortly after things did n't work out for you and hope , and you fell into a relationship fairly quickly . thomas : mom , the only thing to do was to move on , and hope practically kicked sand in my face running back to liam in cabo . taylor : still , the way you 're talking about her , i think you need to sit down and think about what your feelings really are for hope and if they 're resolved before you move any further with caroline . thomas : are you asking me if i love her ? taylor : do you ? thomas : i could . taylor : and what about hope ? thomas : i do n't know . i mean ...

[ scene_break ] liam : you know , dad , maybe you 're the one who should just take a hint , because you 've never approved of hope and me . you -- you 've tried to sabotage us on several occasions . you even threw steffy into the mix . but when it comes down to a choice , hope is mine . she always has been . i love her , and she 's the one i want to marry . bill : you 're right . i did all those things . and as a result , i felt that hope proved herself . so what do i do ? i welcome her into the family . liam : thank you . bill : that was my mistake . liam : ( scoffs ) bill : because here we are back at square one . you know what , liam ? maybe you ca n't always have everything you want . maybe you and hope just are n't meant to be . liam : okay , see , i do n't buy that . yeah , we have challenges . everybody has challenges . the difference is hope and i get through them . bill : there 's a pattern here that at -- at least i see . every time you have a misunderstanding or an argument or hope breaks a nail , she 's out the door , and you prostrate yourself until she deems to come back . well , that 's not how a man , certainly not a spencer , handles his life . you have to stop somewhere short of making a total ass out of yourself over this woman . liam : i do n't care about that -- how it looks , how i look . i just want to marry the girl . bill : do you care about self - respect ? liam : uh -- bill : she said that you were n't mature enough . well , that really set my teeth on edge . i mean , you talk about , pot meet kettle . maybe you need to take a time - out , live a little , figure out exactly who you are . you just might surprise yourself . liam : oh , that 's not gon na happen . look , how -- how -- look , here 's the thing . hope is upset with me because i went out with steffy . but she also thinks something happened . and now that she realizes it did n't , i mean , except for me getting trashed , she 'll forgive me , and we will get married as planned . [ scene_break ] othello : hope and liam have been through so much . i do n't get how you can rock her world with a lie like that . rick : i love my sister . i 'm trying to save her from making the same mistakes that i made . she does n't deserve to be waiting around on liam to decide which -- which woman he wants to be with on any given day . othello : she tried not to show it , but again , did you see her heart ? she was wrecked . rick : look , i 'm pretty sure that -- that she 's gon na have some help from a guy who 's -- who 's way better suited for her -- thomas . othello : ( chuckles ) oh . okay , now i 'm starting to get it . you might be looking out for your sister , but you 're also looking out for yourself as well . if thomas is helping hope get over liam , then that the leaves the door open for you . rick : that 's not what i 'm doing . othello : do n't lie . if caroline was suddenly free , you would n't try to get all over that ? rick : well , i -- you know , i might see where things could go . you know , caroline and i have a connection . i 'm pretty sure that the feelings are mutual . othello : you 're helping yourself to caroline at hope 's expense . i do n't appreciate being a part of that , bro .

[ scene_break ] liam : hope , i am so monumentally sorry for so many things -- i - i mean , jumping to another wrong conclusion when you could n't make it to dinner , getting stupid drunk , turning myself into a freak show , staying out all night , drinking , steffy , going right from that to your luncheon where i -- where i caused a scene and -- and embarrassed you . but just let me be clear . i 'm not sorry for what i said , because i meant it . i do love you . i do want to marry you . and i ... i do know i was wrong . i should have just stayed home . i should have gone to bed . you know , i never should have gone out with steffy . it was so insensitive . you were right . it was just insensitive . and i regret it . i regret every single thing about that whole ridiculous night , and i 'm just -- i 'm just hoping that maybe we can chalk it up to , like , liam 's last big blow - out , you know ? because that 's all it was . i just want you to know how happy i am that you finally believe me , okay ? hope : no . [ scene_break ] rick : my sister deserves better than a guy who ca n't stay away from another woman . thomas : it 's a shame the other woman happens to be my sister . rick : look , i 'm not mad at steffy . she has every right to go after what she wants . if liam wants her back , they should be together so hope can move on . she 's been caught up in this tug - of - war for way too long . anyway , i 'm just saying if my sis comes to you needing a friend , that you 'll be there for her . thomas : yeah . yeah , that goes without saying . rick : good . thank you .

( sighs ) liam : ( sighs ) what ? ( chuckles ) you do n't mean that . hope : no , i do , liam . i do mean it . all of this is happening because of you . you did this . you are so disrespectful of the love that we shared , and i do n't even know who you are now . who does that ? liam : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . hope : you 're sorry . you 're ... you 're always sorry . it does n't matter anymore . you 've pushed me too far , and i 'm done , okay ? i will come back for my things when you 're not around . ( door closes ) hope : ( sniffles ) ( sobbing )	hope tells othello that she realizes she is putting him on the spot right now . liam and steffy have lied to her before ; she does n't want him to spare her feelings . she just wants him to tell her the truth if anything other than partying happened between liam and steffy last night . she wants to know exactly what he saw . rick steps up and says he asked the same question and othello admitted they were all over each other before taking it upstairs to the cabana . othello hates himself afterwards , but he admits yes he saw that . he tells rick that he also realizes that rick is clearing the way for clear sailing to caroline if thomas comes to hope 's rescue and they hook up again . he does n't appreciate being a part of that scenario to make that happen . bill tells liam that he 's trying to be objective now . he welcomed hope into the family , but that was a mistake as now they are back to square one . liam says they do have challenges but he and hope always get through it . bill says that is not the way a man , certainly not a spencer behaves . that is not self respect ; liam needs to take a time out and figure out just who he is . liam says it does n't matter if he has texted hope ten times . he will keep on until his thumbs fall off . he is not giving up . hope will eventually forgive him and they will get married . thomas confides in taylor and she encourages him to resolve how he feels about hope now that she might be available again .

[ clears throat ] it 's from my mother . do n't worry . i checked . it 's safe . it 's tsa approved . we got married so fast that we kind of skipped a few beats . hope : yeah . wyatt : may i ? you take that one . with this ring ... i pledge my life to you . okay . my turn . hope : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] with this ring ... i commit myself to you ... as my husband ... from this day on ... rocking and rolling , wherever life may take us . wyatt : i love you .	brooke helps hope pack to move into wyatt 's house . she tells her mother that she ca n't believe that liam was in paris . brooke says yeah it sounds crazy but he was there , ivy fell into the seine and hope married wyatt . that is what happened . hope admits it is messing with her head . there is so much history there , but she is married to wyatt now . she does n't know what she is gon na do . at sp liam tries to concentrate but all he can think about is paris and hope slipping away . quinn asks wyatt if hope is at his place moving in . he should be with her . he said she needed time with her mother . she quips as he needed time with his . she thought her presence at the party went over well with the evil quinn back in the mix with the forrester 's . he reminds her that it was only one party and she was only there because she is his mother . he says there is something he needs to tell her about liam .he was in paris . she acts surprised . he says liam had every intention of meeting hope at 3 o'clock but had to rescue a damsel in distress . quinn mocks a typical liam . he needs to be a gracious loser and go away . she says the best thing wyatt did was get hope out of paris and onto that yacht . liam needs to mind his own business and stay out of wyatt 's . wyatt says that makes two of them . he needs her to stay away from liam . the truth is he would not even be married if hope knew liam was there . aly confides in ivy that she is glad liam told hope that he was in paris , it will change everything . ivy is not so sure it matters now . hope might struggle over what did happen but at the end of the day she is still married to wyatt . she knows hope 's sense of morality so she hopes she honors her commitment . aly ca n't believe all of this was caused by some thoughtless stranger . she asks if ivy knows who bumped her . ivy says no but she thinks it was a woman . who knew it would turn into this . even though she told liam to leave her and go on to hope she knew he would n't . there was no way he would leave her . aly senses that ivy really likes liam and says she can tell her . ivy admits she kissed liam in paris ; just a friendly peck but she ca n't deny she felt something . aly says well liam is available now , so what 's next . ivy says there is a party on at bikini and a lot at the office will be going . she is thinking of inviting liam . quinn tells wyatt not to say that . liam will never be half the man that wyatt is . wyatt tells her do not talk about liam and do not do anything to him . he wants her to be clear about that . she replies that she may hate the little creep but she is not going to make it her life 's work to torture him . wyatt says good , that is the last thing he needs right now . quinn tells him not to second guess hope . she married him . the diamond brought them back together again . he tells her the police are still asking questions about ricardo 's death . she says total waste of taxpayer 's money . he asks her to promise him that she had nothing to do with that . she said she already promised him that . he says okay . the diamond did bring them back together but he just wanted to be sure it was the diamond and not her doings .
ivy : so , you agree ? no more being pushed around . wyatt : we have the power . we should do the pushing . ivy : deal . wyatt : deal . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : want some wine ? ivy : yeah . hey , i - i know you have a problem using the video . you do n't want steffy going to jail . wyatt : she does n't have to . that 's the beauty of it . as long as we start getting some respect at forrester . i mean , there 's ... some people -- [ coughing ] liam -- who get served everything on a silver platter while the rest of us actually have to work for our success . ivy : mm - hmm . wyatt : but that 's what this video is for us -- our way of working our way up . and as long as no one gets hurt , why not use it ? why ca n't the underdogs get a chance , you know ? [ glasses clink ] [ scene_break ] steffy : i thought if anyone could get through to her , it would be you . liam : so did i . steffy : she 's blackmailing me . she 's holding this over my head . the video -- it does n't show what really happened . it does n't even show that much . and , i mean , if she goes to the police about this -- liam : actually ... [ sighs ] i get the feeling she expects you to . steffy : what ? no . if i go to the police , it 's to turn ivy in for blackmail . and you can tell her that . [ scene_break ] ridge : what 's going on ? caroline : thomas wanted to paint me . so , that ... [ chuckles ] ridge : you paint ? thomas : [ chuckles ] yeah , your -- your portrait inspired me . ridge : inspires me , too . painting is fun if you have the time . but if you want to impress me and the rest of forrester , you should probably focus on your designs . what do you think ? [ scene_break ] thomas : i 've actually been focusing plenty on my designs . that 's why i 'm here . caroline 's been helping me out . ridge : was she ? thomas : do you want to see them ? ridge : sure . thomas : okay . but ... yeah , you 're not gon na tear them up , are you ? ridge : i hope not . [ scene_break ] liam : [ sighs ] i feel like i 'm to blame here . i mean , i 'll tell you one thing -- ivy would n't be blackmailing you if she and i were still together . steffy : hey , you should feel relief , not guilt . you escaped . liam : well , that 's one way to look at it . steffy : you know , i do n't even want to think about this anymore . [ sighs ] we deserve a night off . yeah . liam : we do , huh ? steffy : mm - hmm . yeah . no video . no ivy . just us . liam : i can make that happen . steffy : [ chuckles ] liam : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ivy : you know , what 's so maddening about this is that they honestly believe we 're the bad ones . wyatt : liam thinks of himself as the hero to everyone else 's story . i mean , it does n't even occur to him that he could actually be wrong in this situation . ivy : oh , i know . i mean , he made promises to me , and he spoke all these commitments . but then steffy comes back into town , she murders my cousin , and i 'm the disappointment . [ scoffs ] wyatt : he said that to you ? ivy : yeah , it was -- it was in his tone . he kept going on about how i 've changed and i 'm no longer the ivy forrester he knew . wyatt : but you 're not . and that 's a good thing . because the ivy he knew would just be happy to sit by and be second string to -- to steffy and just wait for some scraps from him . but the girl -- the woman in front of me got screwed over , and she 's standing up for herself . and i got to say i am so proud of you . ivy : well , he thinks it 's because of you . wyatt : what ? ivy : he thinks that , uh , because i 've been hanging around you , that some of your mother 's qualities are rubbing off on me . wyatt : really ? ivy : mm - hmm . i mean , he 's not -- he 's not entirely wrong . wyatt : i mean ... ivy : the quinn part , yeah . but ... you know , these -- these changes in me -- it does have a lot to do with you . wyatt : but is it a good change or -- or a bad change ? [ scene_break ] ridge : [ sighs ] thomas : it used to have some sleeves right here , but caroline convinced me to lose those . and , uh , the neckline was about an inch or two higher , so we dropped it . and ... well , we can drop it more if you think that ... so , best designs you 've ever seen , huh ? gon na put them into production immediately ? ridge : well done , thomas . it 's a definite improvement . thomas : yeah ? ridge : you 're on the right track . thomas : so , does that mean -- ridge : it does n't mean anything . i have n't made a decision as to how you fit into the company at all . but it means you 're one step closer to what you really want . [ scene_break ] liam : you choose a movie ? steffy : i think i narrowed it down . bob hope ? liam : yeah . always . steffy : oh , yes . oh ! thank you . liam : to a quiet evening together . steffy : [ sighs ] yes , please . mmm . together . ooh , who 'd have thought ? liam : i know , right ? i mean , let that sink in for a minute , 'cause it did n't have to go this way . steffy : we all have our off days . weeks . months . liam : [ chuckles ] you know , i do n't think i ever really gave up on you coming home . and here you are . to home . steffy : i like the sound of that . [ scene_break ] wyatt : do you regret what we 're doing here ? i mean , do you -- do you think that i 'm a bad influence on you ? ivy : what ? no . i mean , do i have a lot of regrets ? yeah . but none of them involve you . i regret not figuring out what kind of guy liam was sooner . i regret not being a better friend to aly when -- when , obviously , she needed serious help . i mean , there 's a lot of things that i would do differently , especially that night . but this change that liam sees ... wyatt : mm - hmm ? ivy : it 's necessary . you know , it 's a matter of survival . it 's a way that i can mourn aly 's death . wyatt : right . ivy : so , you know what ? if -- if liam wants to act disappointed and say that he does n't know who i am anymore , then so what ? i 'm a stronger person now because of you . wyatt : good . i 'm glad you think so . ivy : aww . wyatt : i like this fire in you . it 's extremely attractive and sexy . ivy : really ? wyatt : and it drives me wild . [ chuckles ] but a weaker person might have ... just gone home . ivy : well , i mean , i ca n't lie and say i have n't thought about it . but what would that mean for aly and her memory if i just packed up my bags and left ? wyatt : especially when you 'd be leaving me . i mean , little old me , you know ? ivy : hey . look , you joke about this , but it 's kind of true . i mean , i thought i was in this loving , secure relationship with liam . little did i know i was just steffy 's stand - in . wyatt : right . ivy : you were there for me , a shoulder to cry on . we were both bummed , thinking we were never gon na find people like them again . wyatt : yuck . [ chuckles ] ivy : little did we realize what was standing right in front of us . wyatt : we realize now . [ scene_break ] thomas : thanks , dad . ridge : for what ? thomas : well ... thank you for at least not tearing up my designs this time . ridge : you 're welcome . caroline : see ? i told you they were good . ridge : you seem invested . caroline : well , i mean , i 've just seen ... definite growth in thomas as a designer , and he really is trying to give it his all . and i want it to work out for him , for all of us . ridge : hmm . [ scene_break ] steffy : ooh . i like your style , padre . liam : [ chuckles ] do you remember saying that to me in aspen ? steffy : and you gave your best john wayne response . liam : [ as john wayne ] well , i 'll you what , pilgrim . i 'm gon na lasso you like one of my cattle and -- steffy : stop it . liam : [ normal voice ] what ? steffy : stop it . liam : i 'm done . steffy : you 're done . you must be done . liam : i promise . steffy : oh , my god . thank you . no , seriously . thank you for making me laugh and stop thinking about everything that 's happening . you remind me that i have so much good in my life . and i have so much to look forward to . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] wyatt : i 'm glad you stayed . ivy : yeah . me , too . i 'm excited to see where this goes . wyatt : can i ask you a question ? and i probably know the answer to this , but i - i - i have to ask it anyway . let 's say liam shows up a week or two or a month from now , and he says he 's done with steffy and he 's just -- you know , he 's begging for a second chance . what then ? ivy : liam will never be done with steffy . that 's what i 've learned . wyatt : but liam needs another girl waiting in the wings . ivy : yeah . he does . so , it must have been a huge shock when i said i was n't gon na play that part . he 's gon na have to go find someone else . wyatt : you just made my day . you know that ? ivy : really ? wyatt : yeah . ivy : that was easy . wyatt : [ chuckles ] ivy : i could do so much better than that . wyatt : really ? ivy : yes . wyatt : show me . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : okay . i retract my statement . that kiss just made my day . ivy : oh , good . wyatt : but i can reevaluate my answer depending on , uh ... what 's gon na happen here . ivy : oh . are you ... wyatt : hmm ? ivy : well , we might just have to see what happens . wyatt : really ? good . you know , you say that i helped change you . but you did the same thing for me , you know ? ivy : how so ? wyatt : [ sighs ] you helped me get out of the shadow of my brother . i always -- i felt second fiddle to him when it came to women or when it came to my father , and ... now there 's you . you see the potential in me , and you 're not looking over my shoulder , waiting for liam to show up . ivy : mnh - mnh . wyatt : right ? ivy : no . wyatt : i 'm just checking . ivy : god , no . geez . wyatt : [ chuckling ] i love your honesty . you know that ? you 're just -- you 're sweet and you 're loving and you 're -- you 're good . you 're genuine , you know ? a lot of qualities that i do n't really possess , myself , but i 'm working on them . i 'm working on them . ivy : wyatt , you are all those things . wyatt : well , uh , mm ... i try . look , liam -- liam took advantage of your goodness , but i - i promise you i wo n't do that . i will appreciate it , just like i appreciate how you 're standing up for yourself and how you stood up for aly . what liam did to you was wrong , but it -- it gave you a voice and it gave you self - confidence . and i got to say , i find that sexy as hell . oh , yeah . [ scene_break ] thomas : i realize i 've got a long ways to go . you know , my place on the forrester design team -- it 's got to be earned , and i want you to know that i get that . i 'm thankful for it . it feels good to be earning my place , gaining your respect through my work and not just my name . ridge : i 'm happy to hear that . hey . i want you to be the best designer you can possibly be , better than me . after i 'm dead and gone , of course . not now . thomas : [ chuckles ] yeah . if i ever am , i - i 'll know it 's because you helped me get there . both of you . well , i 'm -- i 'm gon na head back to the office now , so ... ridge : yeah ? thomas : uh , yeah . you know , i 'm feeling inspired . it 's a good time to sketch . ridge : [ chuckles ] caroline : all right . well , i 'm very excited to see what you have brewing . thomas : [ chuckles ] all right . show you in the morning . caroline : all right . i ca n't wait . ridge : whoa ! caroline : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] [ up - tempo music plays ] liam : [ sighs ] i like this . steffy : me , too . [ music stops ] steffy : i know i said i did n't want to talk about this -- about aly and -- and ivy , but ... liam : i know . steffy : it just feels so good , you know ? that you believe in me . it feels so good . liam : of course i believe in you . steffy : yeah , but you heard what ivy said . and you saw the video . i mean , you could have easily just walked away . liam : no walking away . we are both holding on , and neither of us are letting go ever again . [ scene_break ] ivy : you know , sometimes i just -- i -- [ chuckles ] wyatt : hmm ? what ? ivy : it 's just my summer started out so differently , you know ? wyatt : mm - hmm . ivy : i had this ... marriage with liam out of convenience , and now i 'm -- and now i 'm here with you . wyatt : well , you 're moving up in the world is what you 're doing . ivy : yes , indeed . mm - hmm . [ chuckles ] wyatt : but not just with me . you are the new face of forrester . ivy : yeah , well , thanks to your support . wyatt : yeah . ivy : it 's the most i 've ever felt , i think . wyatt : seriously ? ivy : yeah . wyatt : you mean besides your parents ? ivy : mm ... i mean ... no . my dad -- i love him . i love my dad . but he is crazy . he is in and out of this country . he 's always on an adventure . wyatt : yeah ? ivy : yeah . i learned at a very young age that i ca n't count on him . wyatt : what about your mom ? ivy : our mothers are very different . yeah , i mean , your mom likes being extremely involved in your life . wyatt : oh , god . ivy : [ chuckles ] but , i mean , how long have i lived here in los angeles , right ? it has n't even occurred to my mom to come and visit me . and if it was -- it was getting time off work or a money thing , i 'd understand , but ... it 's not . although i ca n't really blame her . she 's always been in her own world . wyatt : oh , i know what it 's like to have a mother in her own world . trust me . have you seen quinn ? ivy : yeah . yes . you understand . good . wyatt : but that just reiterates my point . ivy : mm ? wyatt : it 's good that we found each other , you know ? ivy : yeah . we 're like kindred spirits . wyatt : yeah , kindred spirits that could be a force to be reckoned with . ivy : mm - hmm . wyatt : 'cause we can do anything together . ivy : i mean , it is good to have some leverage , though . wyatt : mm . ivy : you know ? wyatt : yeah . ivy : think of what aly could have done with her life . such a huge talent wasted , you know ? i 'm not gon na waste this video . she would want me to -- to use it and defend her memory , and i ca n't just let her die in vain . i ... you know , you were right before when you were saying that thing about the underdogs deserving their chance . i mean , aly was an underdog , too , and -- and if she was still here , she would tell us to just do whatever it takes for us to win , take what we deserve from liam and steffy . wyatt : yeah . ivy : mm - hmm . wyatt : [ smooches ] [ scene_break ] liam : [ smooches ]	ivy asks wyatt if he is okay with this ; they are not to be pushed around . he says they are the one being pushed , they can now be the pusher . liam is one who gets served on a silver platter . as long as no one gets hurt , why not use the video to help them . and yet they think ivy and wyatt are the bad guys . steffy even said that some of quinn was rubbing off on her . ivy says there are many things she would do differently . aly needed medical help but if liam does not know who she is anymore or wants to blame her , she does not hold that against wyatt . he says a weaker person might have just gone home , but she is sexy and strong and that is a turn on . she says she thought liam was there for her but she was just a sub for steffy .. now she has wyatt and she appreciates that . steffy laments to liam that the video does not show what really happened or that much but ivy is holding it over her head . if steffy goes to the police it will be to turn ivy in for blackmail . they need a night off , no more video , no more ivy . ridge is not interested in caroline 's and thomas 's silliness so thomas hands him his designs . ridge tells him he has not made a decision but he is definitely one step closer to being a fc designer . thomas thanks him for at least not tearing up his designs .
bill : will you answer me ? you 'd actually go through with this ? sole custody ? thorne : you 've given her no other choice . bill : will you shut up ? this does n't concern you . katie : yes , it does . he cares about our son . bill : what , and i do n't ? you know how much i love our little boy . katie : it 's not about love . i - it 's -- it 's about consistency and stability and security . it 's about being there for him when he needs you . bill : and i 'm here . i 'm here right now , trying to fix this . that 's all that matters . katie : no , that 's not all that matters . your actions matter . more than your words . what matters is not disappointing him over and over again with your absence . bill : can we talk about this without lurch hanging out there , just the two of us ? thorne : what 's the matter , spencer ? are you feeling threatened ? bill : just -- just tune that out . it 's just a bunch of white noise . why would i feel threatened ? i do n't feel threatened . and you know that , because you have no case , katie . threatening to take my son from me ? really ? why would you do that to me ? xander : it 's crazy how fast steffy got the intimates line up and running again . emma : yeah . she 's been working practically day and night when she 's not with kelly . zoe : yeah , talk about losing yourself in your work . i mean , of course , now that her personal life is kind of -- emma : hey , she 's here . steffy : hello , everyone . i 'm really pressed for time , so let 's get started . quinn : i 've been , uh , working with the models , adding more accessories like you wanted . steffy : great . and , xander , you know what i 'm after , right ? xander : yeah . i 'm -- i 'm not a professional photographer , but i can grab the looks for sure . emma : you 're shooting the mini run - through ? xander : just documenting the pairings so they can be reviewed . i 'm more like a -- a substitute for zach since he 's out on another shoot . zoe : yeah , did n't you know ? xander is our modern - day renaissance man . you know , graphic design , amateur photography . there 's nothing he ca n't do . steffy : uh , emma , will you help out xander and grab all the models ? zoe : ready for my close - up . xander : yeah . all right . let 's do this . quinn : okay , so , we 've got the turquoise or the lucite . steffy : oh , i really like the lucite . quinn : yeah , me too . and then , um , for sierra , you wanted to stay with rose gold , so i picked this one for her . steffy : yeah . that 's gorgeous . quinn : yeah ? steffy : mm - hmm . let 's do it . quinn : okay . all right . has ridge signed off on all of this ? steffy : you mean has he signed off on the direction i 'm taking the collection ? no . i have full control over the intimates line . quinn : yes . i know that . that 's why it 's gon na be a success . steffy : you 're absolutely right . did you hear that , everyone ? this is gon na be a success ! yes it is ! steffy : you all look so good . i want positive vibes , good energy , and we got this . i know you guys got this . quinn : ... on you . steffy : you know ? yeah . ridge : excuse me , miss ? i like what 's happening here , for what it 's worth . steffy : it 's worth a lot , coming from my co - ceo and father . thorne : come on , bill . let 's be honest . you have n't been a father in the past few months . bill : i 'm warning you for the last time , butt out . this is none of your business . thorne : well , i 'm making it my business . bill : are you ? katie : no , no , no , no , no . stop it . stop it . stop . thorne : i care about katie and will . katie : this is not helping . bill : then get -- katie : and your son is upstairs , and i do n't want him to hear this . bill : then get rid of this jackass so you and i can discuss this -- will 's parents , just the two of us . katie : thorne has been a part of will 's life for a while now . he cares about will , and he has been there for him when you have n't been . bill : okay . fine . fine . i should not have let aspects of my personal life compromise my relationship with our son . i am sorry about that . i 'm here to fix it . but , katie , come on . for you to go to such an extreme . we were -- we were co - parenting just fine . we still can . katie : oh , god , i wish i could believe that . but actions , they mean something , bill , not just words . you have disappointed our son over and over again , and i see what it 's doing to him . and as a mother , that terrifies me , and i have to do whatever i can to protect him . bill : [ sighs ] and so do i . so i want you to listen to me . i want you both to listen to me . under no circumstances will i let you strip me of custody . none . it ai n't happening . steffy : okay , everyone . even though this is a test run - through , we want to see what it looks like on the runway . so give it your all . lots of energy , fun , excitement , sexiness . do it ! own it .

attacking katie is not gon na help you . bill : i 'm not attacking katie . i 'm just trying to get at the truth , because i know that i 'm right . yes , i have been distracted -- katie : ho ! thorne : `` distracted `` ? bill : yes , distracted . all right ? i do n't just work at a dress farm . i control an empire , and that comes with more responsibility than you could ever fathom . katie : okay , be quiet . keep it down . thorne : you make it sound like you were out saving the world , when we all know that you were busy sabotaging your son 's marriage . trying to rip apart your granddaughter 's family so that you could pursue your much younger former daughter - in - law . katie : i mean , i ca n't -- i ca n't believe what you did to liam , bill . i mean , how do i know that -- that , in a few years , you would n't do something just as devastating to will ? bill : oh , come on , katie . you 're talking utter nonsense ! katie : i do n't think so . bill : all right , i 've heard enough . enough of this . i have tried to reason with you . i have tried to reach out to you . but if you are delusional enough to actually pursue this custody , oh , how i will fight you . and you know , katie -- you know that i like nothing more than a good bare - knuckle brawl . i 'm not the only one who messed up . you have a few skeletons in your closet , now , do n't you ? so you want to go to war with me ? bring it on . you will lose . quinn : so , that 's everything that steffy wanted me to relay to you . and , uh , for you guys , um ... she was really pleased , you know , other than just a few tweaks here and there . so does anybody have any questions ? danny : has a date been set ? quinn : for the actual preview ? carmen : i mean , the way steffy 's talking , it sounds like she plans to pull out all the stops . zoe : speaking of which , if she 'd like me to model the showstopper , i 'm game . i did it for hope for the future , and it was a -- emma : only because bailey twisted her ankle and you happened to be the right size . danny : wow . somebody threw some shade . what 's up with that ? quinn : okay . everybody , you can all go . except for you . you need to stay . i need to fix your look a little bit . and xander and emma , just stick around , because i need help bringing all these accessories back upstairs . xander : sure thing . quinn : okay . emma : steffy gave me a few notes to pass on . zoe : this mean you 're her assistant now ? emma : let 's just get this over with , okay ? zoe : okay . i 'm all yours . emma : on second thought , why do n't you put some clothes on first ? zoe : now i 'm confused . are you the assistant or the boss ? quinn : emma ? i need you over here , honey . emma : [ sighs ] zoe : thought she 'd never leave . xander : will you please go easy on emma ? zoe : absolutely , love . if you do something for me . ridge : you 're really doing it . steffy : what ? ridge : what you said you 'd do -- put yourself and your baby , the company , first . i should n't have doubted you . steffy : glad i have a fan . ridge : a fan ? are you nuts ? th - those guys out there , those interns , they would do anything for you . steffy : yeah , i 've set some pretty lofty goals for myself . and with the intimates line . but at the end of the day , what matters is my daughter . ridge : that makes me very happy . steffy : what ? that my daughter 's the center of my world ? what kind of mother would i be if she was n't ? ridge : no , it makes me happy that this bill spencer chapter is behind you . that guy caused a lot of damage . he still is . thorne : if that 's not a threat , i do n't know what is . bill : i 'm just stating what you will be up against if you decide to pursue this . katie : an ugly , protracted custody battle . is that it ? bill : i will not be separated from my son . katie : no one 's talking about separating you from will . you can see him whenever you like . bill : no . correction . i can see him whenever you 'd like . katie : i would never keep you from my son , bill . i 'm just trying to give him the stability that he needs . bill : did you say stability ? why do n't we have a conversation about stability ? how much stability did will have all those many months that you were drinking ? and how about that , uh , not - so - secret tryst that you were having with will 's half - brother . katie : i 'm not saying that i have n't had my own struggles , but we are talking about now . today . will 's not the same little boy that he was months ago . he 's growing up so fast . and he needs to know that he can count on his parents , that -- that we 're gon na be there for him . thorne : katie has been , every minute of the day . while you were busy pursuing steffy , katie 's been will 's rock . making him breakfast . taking him to play dates . taking him to school . tucking him in at night . she 's been a 24/7 parent , unlike you . and she has the records to prove it . all those scheduled visits and weekends that you missed , that 's all the proof she needs to show that you 're an absentee father . no judge in his right mind is gon na side with you . which is why i 'm confident that , if she pursues sole custody , which i think she should , then you 're the one that 's gon na lose . xander : uh , what are you doing ? zoe : it 's called privacy . xander : and why do we need privacy ? zoe : well , maybe because i 'm being sensitive to emma 's feelings . since she obviously has a thing for you . or maybe i just wanted to tell you how grateful i am that you did n't listen to her , ask me to go back to the uk and give up this incredible opportunity at forrester . i would n't have blamed you if you had . but this is just so much better . the two of us ... maybe even more , eventually ? ridge : spencer has failed will as a father . and katie is thinking about suing for full custody . steffy : is carter representing katie ? ridge : not yet . but thorne is supporting her , so we 'll see . see , my -- my brother thinks that bill 's neglect over the past few months have really hurt the boy . steffy : it ca n't be easy for her . ridge : no . but you know what it is . you 're a mother . you would do anything to keep your child happy and safe . steffy : i mean , yeah . yeah , i get it . i empathize with katie . but if this is the route she and thorne are gon na take , god only knows how bill is gon na react . bill : i 'm done with both of you . i came here to see my son , and that 's what i 'm gon na go do . katie : bill , do n't go up there . you 're gon na upset him . bill : i do n't want him to think i blew him off , katie . thorne : you did blow him off . you called and you cancelled . bill : [ sighs angrily ] thorne : do you have any idea how sad and confused will was when katie had to tell him that you were n't coming -- again ? bill : this meeting came up at the last second . i could n't say no . you know how important it was . i could n't say no , katie . katie : but you could say no to your son ? bill : i 'm -- i did n't ! i 'm standing right here . i 'm trying to go see him right now . you 're keeping me from it . i ended that meeting as quickly as i could . katie : that does n't justify what you 're doing to will . if this was the first time you 'd blown him off , then fine , maybe . but ... [ sighs ] bill , he 's in pain . you 're hurting him . he 's questioning himself . he 's wondering if he did something wrong to drive you away , and that breaks my heart . i 'm gon na go upstairs . i 'm gon na talk to him . and if he wants to see you , fine . but i 'm gon na let him decide . thorne : whew ! bill : nobody knows katie better than i do . and there is no way she came up with this idea of sole custody on her own . you planted it in her head . thorne : you know , will 's a terrific kid . katie 's a great mother . we 've been spending a lot of time together . they mean a lot to me . bill : whoopee . so what does that mean ? what , are you gon na just keep hanging around , trying to insinuate yourself ? who the hell do you think you are ? thorne : well , i 'm the man who knows what a responsibility it is to be a parent . being someone who lost a child , i would welcome the opportunity to help out with will as much as katie allows . bill : hear this , forrester , loud and clear -- i do n't give a freakin ' rat 's ass what you think of me , because you 're nothing . you 're less than nothing . all that matter is that katie knows , and i know , how much my son means to me . i am a loving , committed father despite my recent lapses , so you pass whatever judgment you want . will knows that i love him . will loves me . he does n't need you to be there for him , because i 'm there . so do n't delude yourself . you have no say whatsoever in my son 's life . and i will do whatever it takes to make sure it stays that way .	bill is incensed and tells thorne to shut up ; this does not concern him . katie says it does . he has seen will more than bill has lately . bill rants more until thorne steps closer and they almost come to fisticuffs . he says he is sorry they are so estranged but he is here now to fix that . katie says it terrifies her and she has to do all she can to make sure they will is not hurt . bill says listen up good , there is no way they are going to strip him of seeing his son ai n't happening . steffy breezes in and tells all to get to work . emma immediately is jealous when she sees xander is going to be allowed to shoot zoe . steffy gives orders and tells them to own the runway . emma watches zoe and sander 's every move . katie tells bill to take a breath and calm down . bill tells thorne that he is stirring the pot and she never mentioned sole custody until today when thorne mentioned it . they both bring up his involvement in pursuing his daughter - in - law and then ruining liam 's life . bill says he is not the only one that has messed up . she has more than a few skeletons in her closet and if she takes him to court she will lose .
brooke : can i get you something ? water , coffee , something to eat , maybe ? ridge : no . thank you . brooke : no ? nothing ? is he moving yet ? ridge : he 's just lying there . he accidentally fell off a cliff , you know . hope : i just keep seeing it on a loop in my head , playing over and over ... my mom rushing thomas , and then ... him going over the edge , and ... liam : i 'm really sorry you had to witness that . hope : it was horrifying . and it happened so fast . i mean , one second , it was thomas and me , alone , and then my mom came running in out of nowhere , and then ridge was there , and ... liam : well , thomas would n't have been there at the cliff in the first place if he told you the truth about beth . justin : i tell you , when hope and liam laid out that thomas situation , about how he 's been manipulating everybody and everything , then to have sanchez tell me he may be responsible for my niece 's death ... oh ... that almost knocked me over . bill : ca n't be surprised . thomas has always had a screw loose . justin : bill , people do things when they 're young . i thought his past could be chalked up to growing pains . i thought thomas had it all together now , having been a father and a husband . wyatt : yeah , some father . i mean , the way he used douglas was deplorable . and then keeping that hateful secret ? like , what kind of man does that ? bill : to a woman he professes to love . i 'm glad hope cut that scumbag loose . katie : hey . wyatt : hi . katie : hi . bill : hey ! well , this brightens my day . katie : mm . bill : hi . katie : so , uh , let me guess , you 're talking about thomas ? wyatt : yeah , marveling at what a piece of garbage he is . katie : every time i think about what he did , lying about beth , it just makes me furious . i ca n't even imagine how brooke must feel . she must want to kill him . katie : i was just afraid that we were gon na lose hope , that she would sink into such a depression that we would never be able to get her back . i know how hard it is to climb out of a dark place sometimes . justin : was she in therapy ? katie : i think it would have helped , but ... she felt like she was making these decisions for the right reasons . she knew that she did n't want to get pregnant again , she wanted liam to be with his family , with steffy , and ... douglas needed a mother , and she thought , `` oh , well , if i marry thomas , i can fulfill that role , `` and ... i guess all these things just made sense to her . bill : did n't help that thomas was manipulating hope , reinforcing all those bad choices . have you checked with your brother ? wyatt : no , i 'll call him right now . hope : i ca n't do this , just standing here waiting to find out how thomas is . liam : okay , well , but what about steffy ? hope : i 'll -- i 'll text ridge . i do n't know why she is n't home yet , but i just -- i -- i feel like i need to be the hospital . [ cellphone rings ] liam : wyatt . hey , um ... i was actually gon na call you . wyatt : okay . you sound weird . what 's up ? liam : uh , there 's been an accident . wyatt : what ? are you at the cabin ? i 'll come right over . liam : no , no , no . we 're -- we 're at steffy 's . um , hope and i are fine . it 's , uh ... it 's thomas , actually . um ... believe it or not , he , um ... he fell off the cliff . wyatt : what ? liam : and it kind of sounds like brooke pushed him . katie : um , i took will into the doctor for his immunizations . it 's okay , he 's doing all right . brooke : you have to believe me , ridge . what happened to thomas -- ridge : what happened to thomas was he went from your hands to the bottom of a cliff . brooke : i did n't push him . i would n't do that . you know i wouldn't . ridge : you 've always had major issues with my boy . brooke : yes , admittedly , but i would n't try to kill him . ridge : doctor . is there any news ? brooke : how is he ? no change . we 're heading down to radiology right now for imaging to ascertain if there 's been any head trauma , and , if so , to what degree . once i get the results , i 'll let you know . ridge : thank you . just an ordinary day , and then ... we 're here , not knowing if he 's ever gon na wake up . brooke : he 'll be fine . ridge : is that what you want ? brooke : yes , of course that 's what i want . i know you 're worried about him . so am i. i would never deliberately do anything to harm thomas . it was an accident . katie : brooke pushed thomas off a cliff ? no , no . no way . bill : any chance at all that he 's not gon na make it ? wyatt : [ sighs ] as of a few minutes ago , he 's alive but unconscious . katie : what about brooke ? wyatt : she 's at the hospital with ridge . bill : oh ! i bet that 's going well . wyatt : well , he got to steffy 's just before thomas went over . justin : mm . so ridge saw his son fall off a cliff . wyatt : yep . katie : oh , my god . if thomas does n't make it , he 'll never be able to stop seeing that moment . wyatt : look , liam said he was gon na call me later for an update . katie : should we go to the hospital ? wyatt : i mean , i -- i do n't know about that . i mean , it 's got to be intense over there . if they wanted us there , they 'd call . dad ? bill : karma . justin : mm . katie : what ? bill : karma . it 's a bitch , is n't it ? everything thomas did ... look at the result . liam and hope are reunited with beth , and that loser is laying in a hospital bed , unconscious . wyatt : yeah . i mean , that serves him right . katie : i bet thomas found out about the annulment . i bet that 's why he tracked hope down , to try and get her to change her mind . justin : that sounds about right . he 's been off the radar . something brought him out of the woodwork , and hope ending their marriage would definitely do it . wyatt : yeah . that 's what made him desperate . bill : and if brooke saw desperate thomas trying to bend hope to his will ... she would definitely get in the middle of that . justin : brooke would throw herself in front of a train to defend her daughter . bill : from ridge 's son , in this case . katie : brooke is fiercely protective of her children , but she would never intentionally hurt someone . i know that , and so does ridge . bill : do n't count on it . brooke : are you sure there 's nothing you want , ridge ? it 'd make me feel useful if i could do something for you . ridge : i do n't know what to tell you . brooke : you could tell me that you believe me . ridge : i know what i saw . brooke : what you saw was an accident , not some kind of malicious intent on my part . ridge : it 's tearing me up inside , all of it . brooke : i know . it 's shocking and it 's horrible . but thomas will pull through . ridge : we do n't know that . brooke : yes , we do . i do ! i have faith , ridge , and that 's what thomas needs from you . he needs your faith that he is going to have a complete recovery . please , do n't give up on him right now . [ elevator bell dings ] hope : how is he ? has he gained consciousness ? ridge : no . and the doctor 's are more concerned the longer he 's out . brooke : they 're doing a complete battery of tests on him right now . hope : okay , um , well , um , steffy still was n't there when we left , so ... ridge : okay . it 's okay . thank you for waiting . i 'll reach out to steffy and tell her when we have some concrete stuff to go on . they do n't need any more stress in their life right now . is skincare from around the world better than olay ? bill : [ chuckles ] you have a lot more faith in ridge than i do . katie : you ca n't possibly think that he 's going to blame brooke for thomas ' accident . bill : oh , i guarantee you he 's gon na blame brooke , draw his own conclusions . he does n't care what brooke has to say . never has . he does n't value her . why am i the only one who gets this ? katie : and you could n't possibly be wrong ? wyatt : uh , perish that thought . bill : all right , listen , go ahead , doubt my spency senses . you watch , wait and see . ridge will be true to form , and he will side against brooke with thomas , in spite of the fact that that crackpot did what he did to her daughter ! katie : well , i hope you 're wrong , but , if you 're not , then brooke will have a ton of support because everyone knows that thomas kept beth a secret . everyone knows that hope is done with him . and now they 're all gon na see that he would n't take no for an answer and that he chased her down . i mean , what mother would n't intervene ? wyatt : mm - hmm . katie : so if brooke had anything to do with thomas ' fall , it was because she was trying to protect her daughter , not because she was trying to hurt thomas . wyatt : whatever . if brooke did hurt thomas , she would have had every right . thomas witnessed hope 's struggle along with the rest of us , and he could have ended hope 's suffering if he -- if he had n't guarded that secret with everything he had . justin : possibly at the cost of my niece 's life . you know , i have so many questions about what happened to emma that night . the police do , too . wyatt : you really think thomas had something to do with that ? justin : based on how he 's been acting , everything he 's done ? hell yes . katie : brooke has been worried about thomas for a while . she 's tried to warn ridge that he 's not stable . if she saw thomas confronting hope , i can only imagine what would go through her mind . it 's an awful situation . brooke : none of us wanted this , despite what 's happened . i just hope he pulls through . liam : yeah , i hope he pulls through , too , so i can kill him . ridge : no update yet . hope : uh ... where 's douglas ? brooke : uh , amelia took him to a play date . hope : so he does n't know what happened to his father ? ridge : he 's still trying to figure out what happened to his mother . so i do n't know what that conversation 's gon na be yet . brooke : i have to believe it 's not gon na be so bad . ridge : it 's not gon na be so bad ? my son took a terrible fall . he may never wake up . it sounds pretty bad to me . brooke : i 've been trying to explain to ridge that thomas did take a fall , that i did n't deliberately push him over the edge . i mean , why would i do that , right ? but the fact is that thomas was out of control , again . he grabbed hope , he was holding her by the arms . he was very intimidating . he was in her face , and i , as a mother , felt like i needed to protect her . so that 's what i did . ridge : i 'm sorry . did you think you were in danger ? did he threaten you ? i 'm phil mickelson . bill : there 's no doubt in my mind , right -- none whatsoever -- that whatever happened at steffy 's that resulted in thomas falling off that cliff , it was an accident . come on , i mean , this is brooke we 're talking about . would she come to her daughter 's defense ? yes . of course she would . would she intentionally push thomas -- even if he deserved it -- or anyone off a cliff that could potentially result in a death ? no way . never . katie : you 're exactly right . there 's just -- there 's no way that my sister is capable of doing something like that . wyatt : but , if she did do that , no one would blame her . that 's all i 'm saying . bill : not at all . wyatt : after thomas , everything that he did -- the lies to hope , the emotional manipulating , using douglas ... all of that is horrible . when he did n't tell hope that beth was still alive ... no . as far as i 'm concerned , there 's no coming back from that . justin : eh , i 'm not feeling a lot of sympathy for thomas , either . wyatt : mnh - mnh . justin : and if this police investigation proves that he had something to do with emma 's death ... oh , he 's gon na wish that that fall had killed him . katie : well , regardless of how we feel about thomas , we all should be wishing him a speedy and complete recovery . bill : why ? wyatt : why is that , exactly ? katie : because anything less than that is trouble for my sister . bill : [ scoffs ] brooke 's already in trouble . if ridge or anyone else thinks that she 's responsible for thomas ' fall . ridge : did it happen how brooke said ? i need to figure out how my son ended up here today . brooke : go ahead , tell him . hope : [ sighs ] okay . as you know , um , liam and i had an arrangement with steffy where we were gon na go and pick up the rest of beth 's clothes , and he had work to do in the cabin , so he stayed , and so i went by myself and started organizing everything , and then , um ... thomas was just there . ridge : he was just there ? he did n't knock on the door , ring the doorbell ? no ? hope : no , he -- he startled me . thomas : an annulment . hope : [ gasps ] thomas : i ca n't let you do that , hope . hope : and he was really upset about the annulment , and , um , he insisted that i listen to him , and i told him there was nothing more to say . get out . thomas : let me explain . hope : i am not interested in another word that comes out of your mouth , thomas ! we are over ! but he would n't accept that , and , so , uh ... i tried to leave . he blocked my way , so i ran out the back door . you know what , i 'm leaving . thomas : no , no , you ca n't go . you have to listen to me . you have to listen . hope : no . thomas , let me go ! get your hands off of me ! [ slaps ] and thomas followed me , and i think he must have been thinking that if i just heard him out , that maybe i -- i could find forgiveness , but ... brooke : there 's no way he could justify knowing that beth was alive and not tell you immediately . liam : yeah , with tricking you into marriage . hope : i just -- i just wanted him to go . brooke : well , exactly . and that 's what i saw . i saw him grab her . he was shaking her . he was very desperate . he was intimidating , and i was worried , so i ran out there and i got in between them , and i -- i pushed him away . not to push him over the edge , but to get them away from each other , and i do n't know what happened after that , ridge . really , it just happened so fast , and i was just trying to protect my daughter . ridge : is that true ? you were in danger ? you were afraid ? thomas : if i had told you about beth , i knew you probably would have gone back to liam . and i did n't want that , okay ? i did n't want to lose you . ridge : my son ca n't speak for himself . did he threaten you ? hope : no . ridge : no , what ? hope : you misread the situation . thomas was n't threatening me . he was begging for forgiveness . he was apologizing , mom . thomas was apologizing . . . .	ridge paces the hallway , finally sits by brooke but she can not console him with words or with offer of coffee or water . she asks about thomas and he says sadly that he 's just lying there . liam listens to hope telling him about thomas but liam is n't going to give an inch and says thomas would not have been there in the first place if he had told the truth about beth being alive . bill , wyatt and justin are talking about thomas and what a piece of trash he is when katie come in . katie joins in and says sometimes it is hard for someone to climb out of that dark hole and she thinks hope made some bad choices but thought she was doing it for the right reasons . wyatt calls liam who has just listened to hope saying she needs to go to the hospital . liam whispers to wyatt that it looks like brooke pushed thomas off the cliff . katie wonders if they need to go to the hospital too . wyatt says it is pretty intense over there so he thinks they should hold off for a while . bill says karma for thomas . justin says thomas has been off the radar and yet now something brought him out of it , maybe the thought of annulment . katie says she knows brooke would not hurt thomas and so does ridge . brooke keeps trying to tell ridge that thomas will pull through . ridge says all he knows is that he is lying in there because of her hands . over and over she tells him that he knows she would never purposely hurt his son . he says he knows what he saw . hope arrives and tells ridge that steffy had not returned when she left . ridge says he will get to her later and tell her what happened as he saw it . ridge finally catches the doctor and asks if any change . dr. armstrong says no ; they just sent thomas to radiology for some tests to see what trauma they might find .

[ scene_break ] rick : you and steffy could n't stay away from each other , even on the night before your wedding to my sister . and why the hell you thought that was okay with your fiancée is beyond me . liam : rick , for the last time , nothing happened between steffy and me . not -- why are you here , really ? rick : i do n't know exactly what went on , but i 'm pretty sure that hope 's through with you . leave her alone , spencer , or you 're gon na have to answer to me . liam : okay , are you done ? rick : no , as a matter of fact , i 'm not . i 've got -- i 've got some advice for you , and if you 're smart , you 'll listen to it . if not , you may wind up losing steffy , too . [ scene_break ] steffy : i have n't given up on liam . i know he still loves me . taylor : and you love him . steffy : yeah , of course , and i always will , but he 's committed to hope , and he wants to make it work with hope for the zillionth time . taylor : honey , you do n't know that that 's necessarily true , and for that matter , we do n't know if hope even wants him to . steffy : mom , this is what they do . they break up , and they get back together . i should be used to it by now . why are n't i ? i ca n't keep putting myself through this . i ca n't . liam has made it very clear that he is all about hope . [ scene_break ] rick : you 're a screw - up , spencer . you 've blown it three times trying to marry my sister . you ai n't gettin ' a fourth . liam : stay out of this . rick : no , not after watching you make a fool of yourself in stephanie 's living room ... liam : ( sighs ) rick : out partying with steffy after what you two did to hope in italy on her wedding day . you should be ashamed of yourself . but that 's your m.o . , right ? liam : what ? rick : yeah , a little misunderstanding , and you hightail it back to steffy . you know , i ought to tell you something -- yeah , maybe that 's your problem -- you think too much , instead of doing what you really want to do . liam : and what the hell is that supposed to mean ? rick : you lost my sister . you 're not getting her back . if you 're lucky , you might have a shot with steffy , if you do n't make her wait too long . now she 's patient , but she 's got her pride , and i 'm sure she 's fed up with this merry- go - round you keep putting her on . go back to steffy . you and hope are done . pick up where you two left off , but do it now , or like i said , you 're gon na end up losing her , too . and you 'll deserve it . [ scene_break ] taylor : ( sighs ) you know , maybe you should take that trip . steffy : hmm , or maybe i should get real and just admit that the thought of liam actually showing up here and telling me that he is done with hope and that i 'm gon na be first in his life -- only that 's not gon na happen . he 's always gon na carry hope in his heart . look , i - i just got ta -- i got ta get out of here . taylor : well , where are you going ? steffy : i 'm just gon na go home , change , get on my bike , go for a ride . taylor : oh , god , not the bike , not the bike . steffy : mom , do n't worry , i 'll be fine . i 'll try not to run over hope . i 'm kidding . taylor : ( chuckles ) ( door closes ) taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : after everything you and liam have been through , are you -- are you absolutely sure you want to go through with -- hope : yes . yeah . i was an idiot to ever think that i could have a wonderful relationship that would last forever . i mean , who has that ? i - i do n't know of anybody , do you ? thomas : grandma and granddad ? hope : well ... thomas : okay , well , maybe not exactly , but they 've had their ups and downs . at the end of the day , they 're still sipping martinis together . ( chuckles ) hope : ( chuckles ) thomas : you know what ? hope : hmm ? thomas : you might feel better if you threw this . hope : ( laughs ) thomas : or if you cut liam 's picture into shreds . hope : yeah . thomas : it 's going to be okay , hope . it might not feel that way right now , but i guarantee you , there are stand - up guys out there who would be more than happy to make you the center of their world . i should know . i was one of them . [ scene_break ] taylor : no , that 's fine . rescheduling is better . okay , bye - bye . ( knock on door ) liam : hi , um , i tried steffy 's cell , she 's not answering . um ... taylor , i got ta talk to her . do you know where she is ? taylor : why ? liam : because ... ( sighs ) because i have to explain something . please tell me where she is . [ scene_break ] hope : does n't it get old , rescuing damsels in distress ? thomas : is that what you think i 'm doing ? hope : not that i need any rescuing . ( chuckles ) thomas : ( sighs ) hope : i ... i do n't expect you to understand all of this . thomas : just means there 's more to this than you 're saying . i do n't think you would just end things with liam because he went clubbing the night before your wedding . or even the fact that he did it with steffy -- yes , it was insensitive , but the two of you have survived a lot worse . hope : i know , i -- yeah , i know . ( sighs ) our love has been tested so many times , and we 've always overcome it . ( voice breaks ) not this time . thomas : hey . it 's okay . hope : mm . [ scene_break ] taylor : i think you know why i 'm hesitating . after everything you and steffy have been through ? liam : look , i - i know . i -- but i really need to talk to her . taylor : why ? liam : ( sighs ) i just do . it 's really important . taylor : ( sighs ) she left on her motorcycle , and she did n't say where she was going . liam : thank you . thank -- thank you . taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : you know what you need ? hope : hmm , a good , stiff drink . ( chuckles ) thomas : wow , you 're really serious about this . hope : ( laughs ) oh , i -- thomas : no more miss goody two shoes , huh ? hope : i just need to grow up . i 've been living in a fantasy world ... thomas : hey ... hope : for way too long . thomas : i happen to enjoy a good fantasy . i 'm living one right now . i 'm fantasizing putting a smile on your face . hope : ( sighs ) rick ? rick ? rick : hey , you two . hope : hey . rick : um , i did n't want to interrupt . hope : mnh - mnh . thomas : no , it 's fine . uh , hope 's been having a tough day . rick : i know . i went over to liam 's to check on you . i saw you run out of there in tears . hope : you two did n't get into it , did you ? rick : you 're my little sister . i could have ripped the guy apart for what he 's done to you . but i restrained myself , barely . hope : what did he say ? rick : actually , i got the impression that he was headed over to steffy 's . hope : hmm . rick : sis , you should n't be surprised . hope : mnh - mnh . rick : it 's what the guy always does . thomas : hey , it 's gon na be okay . hope : mm - hmm . thomas : yeah . hope : yeah . ( `` back to you `` by perrin lamb playing ) i keep thinking of things i never told you i keep thinking of things i did n't say i keep wanting to wrap my arms around you i just had to walk away i wonder if i 'll see you tomorrow i wonder if you 'll forget about today if i have to beg steal or borrow i 've got to find a way back to you back to you everything i am or ever want to be is back to you never been the first to say i 'm sorry i 've never known the stinging of regret i ca n't help but feeling like i 'm buried i 've got to find a way back to you back to you everything i am or ever want to be is back to you	minutes after hope leaves liam 's , rick , who has been watching from the bushes , barges in and informs liam that it 's over . he wo n't allow him to hurt his sister anymore . he will be coming tomorrow to bring all her things home . so just leave hope alone or liam will have to answer to him . he says he lost hope and he is n't going to get her back , but liam might still have a chance with steffy . but he better do it now or he might lose her too . thomas finds hope at the office and asks what happened . sadly she fills him in on what she knows and that it is over . liam will always have this bond with steffy and will not get her out of his life , so she 's done with liam and steffy can have him . no more weddings , no more telling herself that it will work out with a man with divided feelings . she owes her brother so much . if not for him she would not have seen the truth . thomas tells her everything will be all right . there are plenty of stand - up guys out there who will treat her as the center of their world . he should know , he was one of them once . taylor rushes to steffy and is surprised that she is not planning her next move since she has clear sailing now with liam . steffy is n't quite as jubilant since liam still wants hope . this is what they do ; they break up and then get back together . she should be used to that by now . she ca n't put herself through this . liam is clear that it is all about hope and it 's her that he carries in his heart . she tells her mom that she 's gon na get on her bike and clear her head .
hope : so , um ... what 's going on , mom ? liam : yeah , why 'd you guys want to see us ? brooke : uh ... bill and i thought we should have a family meeting . liam : okay . bill : i 'm living with brooke now . my marriage to katie is officially over .

[ will fusses , coughs ] katie : um ...

[ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] maya : hi , pam . pam : hey , maya . maya : is rick around ? pam : oh , he 's probably sleeping in . [ chuckles ] successfully rebranding a fashion line kind of takes it out of you , would n't you think ? that 's probably why caroline has n't made it in yet , either . [ scene_break ] rick : [ sighs ] caroline : morning , sleepyhead . i brought you a little caffeine and a kiss to jump - start your day . [ scene_break ] pam : you know , maya , between you and me , i was kind of skeptical about this whole hope for the future rebranding thing . but when your fanny 's on the line ... and we both know rick 's was . [ chuckles ] but thanks to caroline , they 've really pulled it off . i mean , who knew ? those two make one heck of a team . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] caroline : ugh . silly me . i forgot that you take milk in your coffee . rick : thank you . caroline : thank you . last night . [ cell phone chimes ] caroline : go ahead . i bet your inbox is flooded with congrats . rick : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] katie : i 've been actually really wanting to meet you , but now 's really not a good time . [ will fusses ] wyatt : wow . you 're kicking me out ? like you did my old man ? katie : [ chuckles ] if you 're here on bill 's behalf , then you really should leave . wyatt : hardly . my father can fight his own battles . katie : yeah . so can i . wyatt : yeah , i know . i 've heard . [ door opens ] katie : hey . secretary : excuse me . it 's time for will 's play group downstairs . would you like me to ... ? katie : yeah . um , okay , baby . you 're gon na go downstairs and have fun , all right ? mama will be down there very soon . wyatt : yeah . bye , little guy . secretary : all right . wyatt : bye ! katie : say bye - bye . bye - bye . wyatt : [ chuckles ] awesome kid . i hope i get to spend more time with him . or do n't i get big - brother privileges , you feeling the way you do about my dad ? katie : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] bill : you 're both aware that katie asked me for a divorce . liam : uh , yes , but we 're also aware that she was having second thoughts about that . bill : well , that 's par for the course . she pushes me away , then she wants me back . i 'm not doing that dance anymore . i 'm moving on . hope : with my mother . bill : i want a life with brooke . and she wants the same with me . brooke : i hope we 'll have your support ? ? [ scene_break ] pam : lemon bar ? baked fresh this morning . maya : no , thank you , pam . i think i 'm gon na head over to rick 's . we have some unresolved business . [ scene_break ] caroline : do you really have to leave ? rick : yes . something to do with the hftf relaunch . caroline : that 's all that thorne said when he called ? rick : yeah , well , it 's probably something that he ca n't handle , that moron . caroline : he 's not inclined to do you any favors ever since your big success last night . rick : our big success last night . i mean it , caroline . if it was n't for you ... caroline : please . no more accolades . my ego ca n't take it . [ laughs ] just think . someday you are gon na be c.e.o . of forrester creations . and i 'm gon na be there right by your side , helping you the whole way . last night was -- it was really a new beginning for us . i love you so much . [ scene_break ] bill : so , how do you two feel ? we hope you 'll rally around us . that is what families do . hope : katie 's our family . brooke : of course she is , sweetheart . hope : well , now she 's all alone , raising a little boy , heading a major corporation . bill : well , she has , uh , lots of very capable people around her , including liam . she 'll be fine . hope : is that what you tell yourself to keep from feeling guilty ? oh , wait . i 'm so sorry . bill spencer does n't feel guilt . my bad . bill : i tried every way i knew to make my marriage work . hope : and katie did n't ? brooke : hope -- hope : no , i 've ... i know what you 're gon na say . i 've -- i 've heard it before . you 're gon na tell me that katie pushed the two of you together , that you would n't have given in unless she had told you to be together . but ... she did n't want it to end . she was n't herself when she told you that , and -- and you knew that . she did n't want it to end then , and she does n't want it to end now . so , i 'm sorry . what did you expect , bill ? mom , what did you expect ? bill : do n't attack your mother . she fought really hard to help salvage my marriage . liam : dad , hope 's not attacking anyone . it 's just -- you have to understand -- bill : i do . but let 's be honest , hope . your problem is n't that katie and i are divorcing . your problem is n't even that will 's family 's being split up . your problem is with me and everything i did to keep you and liam apart . you ca n't let that go . much less fathom how your mother could be involved with a man who did so much to hurt you . that 's what this is really about for you . [ scene_break ] katie : of course i want will to know both of his brothers . but right now , i really just want you to leave . wyatt : wow . are -- are you always this warm and inviting ? 'cause if this is how you treated my father , i mean [ whistles ] katie : you have no idea what you 're talking about . you do n't even know me . wyatt : then tell me how it really is . katie : so you can run to bill and -- wyatt : i 'm not -- katie : no , i - i ca n't do this . i 'm not gon na do this . wyatt : you 're mad at my father . katie : [ scoffs ] yeah . yeah , i 'm mad at him . mad at both of them . they know what i 've been through . i was -- i was depressed . [ sighs ] i almost died giving birth . wyatt : what ? katie : the doctor said that it was dangerous for me to have a baby because of my new heart , and ... i just thought that seeing will in his father 's arms for the first time would be such a happy , beautiful moment . but ... the postpartum set in , and i - i left . wyatt : you left him ? katie : well , he 's done some things , too . i mean , his fling with steffy forrester , for instance . wyatt : wait . [ chuckles ] wait , you 're -- you 're saying steffy is liam 's steffy ? katie : yeah . yeah . and now he 's taken up with my sister brooke . wyatt : brooke logan ? hope 's mother ? that 's -- that 's who you 're ... katie : welcome to the family . wyatt : wow . [ scene_break ] [ water running ] [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] maya : rick ! it 's me . [ door closes ] maya : i know you 're still upset , but can we talk ? rick ? [ water stops ] [ door opens ] maya : are you here ? caroline : you 're too late . for the record , this is exactly what it looks like . maya : where is he ? caroline : well , he was in bed with me until thorne called , and ... he trusted you not to keep secrets . now he knows about you and carter . maya : you told rick . caroline : you 're out of your league . you were his walk on the wild side -- fresh out of prison . but that is all that you were , maya . and it is all that you will ever be . [ scene_break ] liam : okay , before this gets way out of hand , i just want -- bill : that is not my intention . but if this is what hope 's feeling , though , i think -- hope : you know what ? first of all , do n't presume to know what i 'm feeling . second of all , i wo n't be put on the defensive . you did get between me and liam . you did interfere more than once because you just decided that you did n't like me and i was n't good enough for your son . mom , every time that people have turned on you , i 've been there . i supported you because you 're my mom and i love you . but this -- you have seen everything that this man has done to me . you were here when i was crying and when my heart was shattered . and now you 're sharing a bed with him in the house that i grew up in . i 'm sorry , but talk about a slap in the face . no , liam , i know that it 's not intentional , but it does n't make it okay . it does n't , especially where katie 's involved . she 's your sister . i - i - i do n't care what you 're feeling . technically , he 's off limits . it -- it does n't make it okay . bill : brooke did n't do anything . katie asked for the divorce . she created this . hope : oh , bill ! look in the mirror ! are you kidding me ? ! [ scoffs ] you are an arrogant , egocentric jerk who will never care about anybody as much as he cares about himself . liam : hope . [ scene_break ] wyatt : your sister and my dad ? katie : something developed between the two of them . wyatt : huh . katie : i told him that i could forgive , and i asked for his forgiveness for my part , but he -- he does n't want any of it . he 's done . brooke is his priority -- not his family , not me , not his son . your father 's turned his back on us . [ scene_break ] rick : it 's handled , thorne . is that it ? good . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] caroline : it was never gon na work between you and rick . a prince marrying a commoner ? that 's a fairy tale , maya , one that i warned you against repeatedly , but you did n't listen . so hear me now . if you are smart , you will quit your job as a spokesmodel and focus on acting and on a man who does care about . carter is smart and sexy , and he is a successful lawyer . he will give you a very good life . do not screw it up . maya : i did n't have your high - society upbringing , but i 'm a good person , despite what you think . and as for me and rick ... i will believe we 're done when i hear it from him . maybe you did get him into bed last night , but if he were n't drinking , who knows ? maybe the two of you are n't the sure thing you 'd like me to believe . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] maya : [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] brooke : i have to go after her . bill : no , no , no . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . liam 's with her . she 's gon na be fine . brooke : you heard her . she 's never gon na be okay with this . bill : you have to give hope some time , brooke , and give us some time to let everyone see how committed i am to you , how committed we are to each other . i will make amends to hope . whatever it takes , as long as it takes . we love each other . we 're together now . it does n't matter how it happened . it 's as it should be . no turning back . [ scene_break ] wyatt : bill spencer is this force -- strong , dynamic , successful . katie : wow . sounds like somebody 's already a big fan . wyatt : you know , i grew up believing everything that my mom said about my dad , and none of it was good . and then all these years later , meeting him and getting to know him , i did n't think he was anything like that . until now . i left my family business , my mom . i turned my back on her to get to know my father better , and now i find out that he 's doing it again ? abandoning a child -- his son ? katie : well , i 'm sure bill would n't see it like that . wyatt : how else is there to see it ? ! he 's leaving his family for your sister ! katie : well , she has a way with men , all men . wyatt : i do n't give a damn ! family should come first ! this innocent , little boy should always come first . a father should be his son 's hero . katie : i 'm sorry , wyatt . but no hero would have done what bill 's done ... to me and to our son , to all of his sons . he 's built an empire . he has everything that money can buy -- planes and yachts -- but he 's ruined our home . he 's destroyed it . wyatt : no . not yet . i 'm not gon na let him .	dressed in only rick 's shirt , caroline brings him coffee and a kiss to start his day while he is still in bed .. with a big old grin on his face . she sees him glancing at his iphone and tells him to get it while she gets more coffee . he sees a bunch of calls from maya . pam tells maya that she was sort of skeptical at first of this whole re - branding hftf thing . but when rick 's fanny was on the line , and it was she has to hand it to caroline that she really pulled it off .the two of them make one heck of a team . maya does n't seem too pleased to be hearing this . wyatt is in katie 's office as she holds will . she tells him she wanted to meet him but now is not a good time . he asks if she is throwing him out like she did his old man . she quips that if he 's there to plead bill 's case , that wo n't do any good . he says no , bill can fight his on battles and he knows she can too . he thinks will is a fantastic kid and hopes he will get to spend more time with him considering the way she feels about bill . bill explains to hope and liam that katie has asked him for a divorce . liam says yes but he 'd also heard that she was having doubts and may re- consider . bill says that is par for the course . she pushes him away and then wants him back . he says he is not doing that dance anymore ; he 's moving on . hope adds and with her mother . bill says yes , he wants a life with brooke and she wants the same with him . brooke adds that she hopes she will have their support . hope sits stone - faced . bill has to ask a second time if they will rally around and act like the family they are . hope says katie is family . and now she is all alone raising a baby by herself and running a big company . bill points out that she has plenty of people around and she will be fine . hope asks what did they expect her to say . katie did not want the divorce then and she does not want it now . so even if bill and brooke tell themselves that katie threw them together , that was no excuse . liam speaks up and says hope is not attacking them , but they have to understand where she is coming from . bill says he does understand . her issue is n't with him and katie but just with bill and how he tried to keep her and liam apart for so long . and how her own mother could be with a man who did so much to hurt hope . katie tells wyatt that she 'd like will to get to know both of his brothers but not now . she 'd like him to leave . he makes a comment about her being so warm and inviting , maybe she treated bill that way too . she scoffs that he really does n't know her . she admits she is mad at his father and she just is n't gon na do this . yet she goes on and wyatt is shocked when she says she almost died giving birth . the more she talks , the more shocked he is when he finds out that steffy and bill were once involved and now he 's with brooke , hope 's mother . pam offers maya a freshly baked lemon bar . maya declines saying she thinks she will head over to rick 's as they have some unfinished business .
hope : hi . wyatt : hi . hope : you leaving ? wyatt : uh , not for long ... unless you want me to stay and help you unpack . hope : no . no , i 'm almost finished . wyatt : yeah ? hope : yeah . wyatt : okay . well , just use any closet or drawer that you want . just remember -- this is our home . okay ? hope : okay . wyatt : [ sneezes ] [ clears throat ] ooh - ee ! hope : ohh , are your allergies really that bad ? wyatt : uh , you know ... getting worse .

[ scene_break ] liam : well , i got to tell you i was shocked how many people dropped their animals off at the shelter . they just left them there ; they did n't even care . bob : fortunately , there are also people like you who are willing to give them good homes . liam : we all do our part , i guess . bob : well , if there 's anything else that i can do , just let me know , and please keep spreading the message to have your pet spayed or neutered and remember that some of the shelters will provide that service free . liam : hey , well , if the price is right ' ... bob : [ chuckling ] that 's right . right on . bye - bye . liam : take care . [ scene_break ] hope : i did n't expect to see you today . deacon : well , i hope i 'm not disturbing you two . hope : oh , no . not at wyatt 's not even here . deacon : listen , hope , um , i know that news you got about liam coming to paris must have been difficult . i just wanted to make sure you 're hanging in there . hope : uh , well , it 's like you said , wyatt is my husband . uh , well , it was really nice of you to come help me unpack . deacon : actually , i was kind of hoping you might be able to help me . so , hope , things have been , uh , getting better between me and your mother . hope : she invited you to the party , so ... deacon : yeah , but she kind of kept her distance . you know , even here , it was like she -- i do n't know -- like she was testing me or something . hope : hmm . i do n't know . maybe you can try looking at that as a good thing . deacon : maybe . i just -- i 'm just having trouble reading her , you know ? she puts up this -- this wall . i was kind of hoping maybe you could help me break through it . this is ridiculous , is n't it -- me asking my kid for advice ? hope : are you kidding ? i love that you came to me for advice . i 'm kind of relieved . i mean , when you said you needed my help , i really was n't sure what to expect . deacon : i did n't mean to scare you . look -- here , the truth of the matter is this -- yes , i could use a job and little extra scratch , but i would never come to you or your mother for that . i - i 'm never gon na be as wealthy or as powerful as bill spencer . but i know your mother , and i know that 's not what she saw in him . you know , she thought that he was a guy that she could believe in , depend on , and he was n't . and i am . and i 'm gon na prove it . ( brooke 's flashback ) deacon : something happened when ridge hit the water . it left him incapacitated . he ca n't draw . all his life , ridge has been an artist , a talented designer , but bill took that away . [ scene_break ] aly : so , you asked him ? liam said yes ? ivy : well , technically , i said yes for him . then he agreed . but we 're going . [ chuckles ] aly : then it 's a date . ivy : yeah , i do n't think it 's a date , but at least liam wo n't be sitting on a couch alone this evening . aly : well , he will be the envy of every guy at bikini . ivy : well , every guy except for oliver , of course . [ both chuckle ] [ scene_break ] liam : well , i do n't want to deal with that right now . tell him i 'm -- tell him i 'm not here . tell him i 'm ... busy . wyatt : do n't worry . wo n't be long . i 'm just dropping this off . liam : what is this ? boo 's stuff ? wyatt : [ sighs ] kitty litter , food , toys -- it 's the whole ... kit and caboodle . [ chuckles ] he 's yours . i 'm not living with that hair ball . liam : wyatt , hope wo n't stand for this . wyatt : her husband is allergic . liam : you 're allergic to cats ? wyatt : yeah and anything that reminds her of you . besides , look , you could use the company , right ? all those lonely nights just ... [ meows ] what ? hey . what ? no , no , no . liam . you 're still taking the cat ! no , no . [ scene_break ] hope : here -- will you put that on the vanity ? deacon : maybe this whole thing is wishful thinking . hope : mm , maybe not . i mean , you and my mom have been spending a lot of time together . deacon : with you . i - i mean , that 's our connection as parents , but we 're not a family , and i know we can be . look , ridge is finally , finally out of the picture . he 's engaged to katie . this is our chance . [ scene_break ] brooke : i 'm not ready to see bill : well , i need to see you . what 's this ? brooke : one of ridge 's portfolios -- years of dedication and hard work , a lifetime of achievement . bill : we were on the verge of a pretty big achievement of ours , until ridge derailed us again with another newsflash . brooke : ridge did n't want me to know about this . he did n't want anybody to know . this was devastating for him , and the entire fashion community . i know fashion to you is just about business . it 's about making more money . but to most of us , including myself it is art , and ridge was a master . these designs -- they tell a story -- his evolution as an artist and as a person ... his relationship with his father , with his family , places he 's been , people he loves . and this one shows refinement . it shows maturity . most of all , it shows joy . ridge reveled in his work . he definitely has ... a true gift . [ sighs ] and you destroyed it . thanks to you , ridge and forrester creations may never be the same . [ scene_break ] liam : hey , hey . uh , quick question . have you seen bob barker ? gregory : uh , mr. spencer , he just went that way . liam : yes , i see him . thank you , gregory . uh -- uh , mr. barker ? um , i mean bob . bob : oh , my packet . i forgot it . i 'm sorry . liam : oh , no . i 'm glad i caught up to you . wyatt : liam ! look , we 're not done here , okay ? just because i 'm not some stupid animal lover , does n't mean i 'm taking that cat . bob : `` stupid animal lovers `` ? who are you ? wyatt : why do you care ? bob : because animal lovers are not stupid , and i do n't like remarks like that . wyatt : ohh . i 'm sorry . you 're right . you 're right . i meant , `` animal wacko . `` bob : hey , careful , young man . liam : do n't be a jackass . wyatt : i 'm being -- liam : you 're being a jackass . wyatt : how am i being a jackass ? liam : because -- bob : you know , i think a pet could be your best friend . make you happy . you look like you could use that . wyatt : happy ? bob : but just remember -- help control the pet population . have your pet spayed or neutered . wyatt : wacko ! liam : whoa ! bob : that 's it . that 's it ! wyatt : [ groans ] did you just -- [ grunting , groaning ] bob : [ grunts ] liam : [ laughs ] wyatt : [ groans ] [ panting ] really ? ! bob : i 've still got it ... wacko . liam : [ laughs ] wyatt : come on !

[ indistinct shouting ] [ mid - tempo dance music plays ] carter : yo , you made it . rick : would n't have missed it . it took so long . the paparazzi is just crazy . carter : uh , yeah . forresters ' on the map , man . your leadership . rick : ah , it 's everyone . so , what are we drinking tonight ? carter : well ... rick : i 'll have a beer . please . carter : and he 'll start with this . rick : is that how it 's gon na be ? carter : that 's how it 's gon na be . aly : i ca n't believe how many people are here . i hope liam will be able to get oliver : wait . liam 's coming ? ivy : uh , yeah , he should be here any minute now . oliver : i should get us a table . aly : is that okay ? i - i do n't want to intrude on your date . ivy : aly , it 's not a date . it 's a party . aly : by the way , i think liam is going to love your hair . ivy : aww . aly : [ chuckles ] and speaking of ... liam : hey . ivy : [ chuckles ] liam : how are you ? ivy : um , oliver is getting a table , so , um , i 'll tell him you 're here . aly : okay . liam : nice hair . ivy : ah , thanks . liam : yeah . ivy : i 'm so glad you made it . liam : yeah . yeah , you know a night out might be , uh -- might be just what i need . [ scene_break ] hope : i wish i could tell you where mom 's head is right now . deacon : i want her back . hope : [ exhales deeply ] hmm . okay , well , then you 're go have to be the man she wants to come back to . deacon : do you think i can be that guy ? hope : yeah i do . deacon : then i 'm gon na have to be patient and that 's is not easy when it comes to your mother . you know , yesterday at party , and then we were here -- i could see it -- the whole picture , you know , of what it would be like for us to be a family , what our life would be like . i want that . i want that more than anything . hope : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] brooke : [ sighs ] bill : what can i do to fix this , brooke ? brooke : i do n't know . bill : you want to forgive me . brooke : yes , bill , i do . i love you . i just do n't know how to minimize this situation . what if ridge ca n't draw again ? what happens ? what happens to the business , to the family , to ridge himself ? i stayed up all night asking myself the same thing over and over again . can i really be in a relationship with a man who has taken that from ridge ? bill : so , suddenly , you do n't have a right to be happy ? brooke : i do n't think i can be happy under those circumstances . bill : with me ? brooke : you do n't realize what you 've done . bill : what i did was go after the woman that i love . forrester assaulted me . he dragged you away from our wedding . you were yelling for me as he pulled you down that beach . i did n't know where he was going . i did n't know what he had planned . all i knew is that i was n't going to let him take you away from me . and i 'm not gon na let him or anyone else come between us now . [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] you have to tell mom how you feel . deacon : i have . hope : well , tell her again . just be honest with her . if you love her , then she needs to know . deacon : okay . [ scene_break ] bill : [ sighs ] you 're still wearing my ring because you know we 're going to get through this . ridge will recover , and we will be married because we love each other , and no other outcome is acceptable . you are the only woman for me , brooke , and i 'm the only man for you .	wyatt tells hope to pick any closet or drawer . this is their home now . he has to leave for a little bit . he kisses her then sneezes and she realizes his allergies are really that bad and getting worse . bob barker thanks liam for the series on animal shelters ; it was a winner . liam thanks him not only for the interview but for pointing him to the rescue shelter too . bob says he knew liam would be impressed and with that exposure many more pets around the world will be neutered and spayed and that makes him so happy . rick and oliver , maya and carter get ready for a photo shoot . oliver tells carter it must be hard to work together now . carter muses that he 's over it . the best thing you can do with a mess like that is move on and leave it behind . rick says caroline is out of town so he wo n't be coming to the bikini party . maya coos that does n't mean he has to stay home . paris was a huge success so they should celebrate . carter agrees and says rick can hang out with him . deacon drops in on hope . he offers to help her unpack but really wants her to help him . he says things have been better between he and her mother . brooke invited him to hope 's party but she sort of kept her distance like she was testing him . hope says maybe that is a good thing . he says maybe but he is having a hard time reading her . she has put up this wall and he is hoping hope can help him with breaking that down . she 's really glad that he came to her asking for help . she was n't sure what to expect . he says the truth of the matter is that yes he needs a job and some extra cash but he would never come to brooke about that . he states that he will never be as wealthy as bill spencer but that is n't what brooke saw in him . she thought she could believe in and depend on bill and it did n't turn out that way . but he is that guy and he 's going to prove it . something happened to ridge when he hit that water . it left him incapacitated . he ca n't draw . all his life he has been an artist and designer and bill took that way . ivy tells aly that technically she said yes for liam , but yes he is coming to the party . ivy says then it 's a date . ivy says she does not consider it a date but at least liam wo n't be sitting on the couch alone tonight . aly says he will be the envy of every guy at bikini . liam tells his secretary that he 's busy and does n't want to bother right now . wyatt walks in and says it will only take a minute . he 's only dropping boo 's things off .the whole kit and caboodle . he 's not living with that hairball . liam says hope will not stand for this . wyatt says he 's allergic to cats .and anything that reminds her of liam . and besides he can use the company with all those lonely nights . deacon tells hope maybe this is all wishful thinking . she says maybe not as they have been spending more time together . he says yes with hope as they are family . that is their connection as parents but they are not family and they could be . ridge is now out of the picture and with katie so this is his and brooke 's chance . bill slips in to see brooke who is not ready for any intrusions . she shows him some lovely designs by ridge . they tell a story of his evolution of an artist and as a person . he definitely had a true gift . she says bill destroyed that so thanks to bill that ridge and fc may never be the same .
ridge : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . yeah . this never gets old -- walking through this door . you know that ? caroline : [ laughs ] ridge : all right . caroline : you really like being ceo , huh ? ridge : [ sighs ] that surprises you ? here you go . caroline : hmm ... no . i just never really knew corporate ridge . i only knew ridge the artist . but now that i see you here in action , i like your style . you 're , like , somewhere in between eric and rick . you know ? you 're -- [ chuckles ] you 're sensitive but you 're decisive . and you 're reasonable but you 're kind of bottom - line - ish . ridge : i 'm really not that complicated . caroline : uh , you 're kind of complicated . you 're like a mystery that i kind of want to figure out . ridge : whatever keeps you here . caroline : [ chuckles ] i ca n't just stand here and smooch you all day . i got to work . ridge : i 'm the boss . we can do whatever we want . caroline : [ chuckles ] okay . hold that thought . ridge : come on ! caroline : just come on . [ laughs ] look . this is thomas ' . ridge : all right . it 's pretty good . caroline : i like it . ridge : i think it 'd be better if we put the neckline down to here . caroline : okay . i will give him the note . ridge : you really want thomas , do n't you ? you really want him to be on our team . caroline : um ... yeah , i think thomas is -- is very talented . and he wants to be here . and he 's your son , so i think he 's a good fit . [ scene_break ] thomas : so , you turned out to be a good fit . zende : think so ? thomas : yeah . you doubt it ? zende : i 'm just hoping it 's true . i really like it here -- learning the business , working with family . thomas : you know , you can have a really great future here at forrester if you 're willing to work for it . zende : exactly what i intend to do . and , hey , i wanted to say thank you . you 've really gone out of your way to help me get acclimated . i appreciate that . nicole : i swear you guys put me to shame . the sun is barely up , and you 're already out here . zende : yeah , nicole 's not a morning person . nicole : what do you mean ? i wake up good to go . zende : yeah , after coffee so strong it puts hair on your chest . nicole : okay , first , you 've never seen my chest . second , if you did , you would n't find hair . zende : no doubt . thomas : how 's summer been treating you ? nicole : oh , my god . it 's like the best one ever . my sister and i are tight , i love interning at forrester , and i 've got -- i 'm making good friends . zende : i agree . best summer ever . and it 's not over yet . what about you ? glad you stayed in la ? thomas : yeah , yeah . it feels right . uh , dad 's really putting me through the paces , though . nicole : oh , with your designs . i heard about that . thomas : you know , i forget -- somehow , interns know everything . nicole : [ chuckles ] zende : did n't you have your own line once ? thomas : yeah . yeah , i did . that was before . this is now . you know , dad and caroline have been working exclusively together . they have a very specific vision . they 're on the same wavelength . and i 've got to get there before i can just jump in and be an asset . nicole : you do n't predict there being any problems ? thomas : between my dad and me ? nicole : i was thinking more between you and caroline . thomas : ah . you know about that , too . nicole : heard you two used to be an item before she got with rick . thomas : well , yeah , yeah . you know , that was a long time ago . you know , uh , we -- we 've both grown and changed since then . [ scene_break ] caroline : you agree with me , though , right ? that thomas ' place is here with us . ridge : if he steps up , i 'll be happy to have him . caroline : i think he is coming along . ridge : no , i think his designs are better . i think he 's making an effort , and that 's good . caroline : yes . which is exactly what you wanted . ridge : you think i 'm being hard on him , do n't you ? caroline : it 's not for me to say . ridge : well , being a forrester comes with a lot of perks . the theory is you can walk in here and take any job you want , but i do n't want that for my son . i want him to earn everything that he gets . i do n't want him to walk through life with just his hand open , taking everything that he 's entitled to or thinks he 's entitled to . he 's got to earn his rewards . caroline : you 're a really good father . [ knock on door ] brooke : hi . am i interrupting ? ridge : no . come on in . brooke : oh . ridge : hi . brooke : i just got a text from rj , and i thought you might want to see it . ridge : of course , i want to see it . brooke : he 's at that `` girls are so annoying `` stage . ridge : uh - oh . we all know what comes next , do n't we ? brooke : look , i know you guys are busy . so , i 'll just ... get out of your way . caroline : no , no . you stay . um , i have to go find thomas anyway and give him ridge 's notes . so , i will catch up with you later ? ridge : mm - hmm . caroline : okay . brooke : is everything all right there ? ridge : with caroline ? yeah . no , everything 's fine . brooke : she just seemed a little tense . ridge : you think ? brooke : yeah . it happened when i brought up rj . i know you saw it , too . ridge : yeah . there 's tension . brooke : about children ? [ scene_break ] nicole : spoke to maya this morning . zende : finally they come up for air . nicole : [ chuckles ] all the way up . they 're on their way back . zende : how did she sound ? nicole : like the happiest woman on the planet . zende : [ chuckles ] nicole : i ca n't wait to see her and hear all about their fabulous honeymoon . zende : you know it was , too . they did n't post one picture . nicole : yeah . i got on maya for that . and then she said they 're too busy living it . zende : [ chuckles ] good for them . you know , sometimes we get so wrapped up in trying to document everything that we miss what 's in front of us . nicole : [ chuckles ] why are you looking at me like that ? zende : i 'm taking a picture so that i do n't miss a thing . [ scene_break ] brooke : maybe i should n't have brought up rj . ridge : r.j. is our son . we 're gon na be talking about him . some of that 's gon na be in front of caroline . brooke : even when children are a tense topic ? ridge : it 's a speed bump . we 'll get through it . brooke : how ? when your girlfriend wants a family , and you do n't . [ scene_break ] caroline : pam should n't be leaving these lying around . [ elevator dings ] [ cell phone beeps ] ridge : i ca n't see myself being a father again . caroline : [ voice breaking ] if i have to choose between being a mom and being with you ... i 'm gon na always choose you . thomas : hey , you . caroline : hey , yourself . thomas : well , i just left zende and nicole . now , there is a couple just -- just waiting to happen . caroline : oh , you think so ? thomas : yeah . it 's obvious . well , to everyone but them . they think they 're besties . caroline : aww . that 's sweet . thomas : yeah . caroline : [ chuckles ] thomas : you okay ? caroline : sure . thomas : what , uh -- what were you looking at there ? caroline : oh . uh ... [ chuckles ] a friend , uh , posted a pic . thomas : why do n't you let me see that ? caroline : [ chuckles ] thomas : it makes sense . caroline : what ? thomas : well , no matter how much you downplay this , you 're still having a really hard time . caroline : [ clears throat ] i - i told you that i 'm -- i 'm fine . thomas : caroline , you had to choose between my father and having a family . you 're allowed to have feelings about this . [ scene_break ] nicole : hey . you 've got to do better looking out and check my big mouth . zende : how am i supposed to do that ? nicole : i do n't know . nudge me . kick me under the table . something . zende : oh , you mean with thomas earlier . nicole : yes . what was i thinking bringing up his relationship with caroline ? it was awkward . zende : yeah , you were just messing around . nicole : thank you for realizing that . for a minute , i totally spaced . obviously she 's with ridge now . zende : yeah , well , thomas seemed all right about it . nicole : really ? zende : yeah . i did n't think it was something he wanted to bring up , but he moved past it . nicole : [ sighs ] i need a filter . zende : i accept the position . nicole : gon na count on that . what do you think thomas ' chances are at making the design team ? zende : i would have thought pretty high , considering he 's family , experienced . but ridge tearing up his work -- i mean , that 's pretty harsh . nicole : that 's ridge -- mr. tough love . got to push everyone past their comfort zone to make them the best they can be . but i have to wonder -- has he really done that for caroline ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i ca n't say i 'm surprised . caroline is a lot younger than you . ridge : wow . that 's -- that 's strange . you 've never mentioned that before . brooke : ridge , i 'm not taking shots . i 'm just saying the biological clock- thing -- that is real . it really does n't surprise me that caroline wants a family . she wanted one with rick . ridge : and i 've raised two of them . now i just want to live in the moment . what 's wrong about that ? brooke : nothing , really . but does the person you 're with want to live in the moment ? ridge : [ sighs ] well , she said she 's okay with it , so ... brooke : okay , so do you believe her ? ridge : yes . [ sighs ] no , i do n't . well , you have something to say . what is it ? just say it . brooke : a little while ago , when i found out i was pregnant , i was shocked . a baby was n't even on my radar . i did n't even know if it was possible . but i was gon na go through with it . i was just overwhelmed . but caroline , on the other hand -- she is a perfect age to have a family , to have children . i would n't be surprised if it 's one of her life goals . and if what i just saw was any indication , then she 's probably trying to cover up that urge more than she wants you to see . that feeling of wanting to be a mother -- that does n't just go away . ridge : and you do n't think i realize that ? i do . [ scene_break ] caroline : ridge and i made a change to your sketch . thomas : hey , i really appreciate all the time you guys are giving me , by the way . that means a lot . caroline : well , i want you to ace this . and so does your dad . thomas : since you brought him up again -- caroline : you 're gon na make me wish i did n't ? thomas : no , no , no . i hope not . i hope not . really , i do . okay . we 've confided in each other about a lot . i - i told you about what was going on with steffy and aly , and you opened up to me about the baby issue between you and dad . caroline : that does not mean that we got to keep poking at it , though . thomas : but ignoring it -- that is n't the answer . all right ? i can see that it 's weighing on you , and i - i want you to know that you can talk to me . caroline : [ sighs ] thank you . it means a lot . [ sighs ] i guess if i 'm being completely honest , um ... yeah , i mean , i guess it is disappointing . you know , i thought i was -- would have a family , but , um ... i do n't know . i 'm fulfilled in other ways -- professionally and -- and personally . i mean , i love what i do . i love designing . and i 'm getting better at it over time . and ... i 'm so in love with ridge , you know ? so i think maybe asking for more than that is just that . it 's asking for too much . thomas : caroline , a woman like you should have it all -- everything . caroline : well , that 's gon na happen , so i should just be grateful for everything that i have , which is a lot . so ... thomas : [ clears throat ] well , you know , it 's still crazy to me how you and dad -- the whole story of how it happened . caroline : it was one touch . thomas : you were his muse . caroline : yeah . i was the only person that could get what was in his head out . and he had to physically use me to do it . um , 'cause at first , he was trying to explain it to me , and i was just -- it was not -- i -- [ laughs ] i was not getting it at all . and i think out of , like , sheer frustration , he just grabbed my hand and started to draw . thomas : one touch . caroline : and i just knew . [ scene_break ] zende : you do n't think ridge is good for caroline ? nicole : i do n't know . zende : i mean , they seem pretty happy to me . nicole : yeah , but their relationship is relatively new . and let 's be honest -- that age difference is serious . zende : well , you know what they say -- age is only a number . nicole : maybe at first when you 're all caught up . but eventually you settle into how things are gon na be . and maybe you find that you have different needs and wants , things that have to do with where you 're at in life . and i like caroline . she 's really good people . she deserves the best . i 'm just not sure that adds up to ridge . [ scene_break ] ridge : i love caroline . i really do . make no mistake about that . brooke : i 'm convinced . ridge : and having kids would make her happy , and i want that for her . i want her to be happy . brooke : ridge , you 're not thinking about having a whole new family with caroline just to put a smile on her face . ridge : and why not ? that 's -- if that 's what it turns out to be , why not ? after everything she 's done for me -- she 's given me my life back , my ability to draw . she 's given me joy and happiness , and she 's there supporting me in everything i do . and i just -- i want to give her what fulfills her , whatever that may be . brooke : well , that 's a lovely testament to how you feel about her . but to have a new child at this stage of the game -- 18 more years of parenting . i thought you wanted to be free . that was the whole idea of your loft and -- and choosing to be with caroline . ridge : yes . i know why i chose her . i know . and i was right to , and i - i 'm happy . i - i -- [ sighs ] i 'm living every moment , and i am enjoying every moment , not as who i wanted to be or who i was , but who i am right now . and i feel like a little kid sometimes , you know , and i just -- it 's -- it 's exciting . brooke : it 's not just you anymore . you 're in a relationship with caroline . and her needs and her desires are just as important as what you want . ridge : and if i truly love caroline , i got to put her first . and that 's what i 'm gon na do . [ scene_break ] thomas : yeah . i mean , you ca n't miss it . that connection between you and dad -- it 's -- it 's right out there . i just -- i hope you 're both happy . 'cause i 'm sensing you 're giving up a lot more than he is . caroline : [ sighs ] it 's a balancing act , you know ? and sometimes one person is sacrificing more than the other . but in the end , it all just kind of evens out . thomas : yeah , that 'd be a first for my dad . caroline : there is a first time for everything . thomas : right . yeah , yeah . no . who knows ? you know , maybe he 'll want to end up starting a family with you . i mean , honestly , what -- what sane man would n't ? caroline : do you want to have kids ? thomas : yeah . bring 'em on . caroline : wow . does n't even hesitate with that one , just -- thomas : nope . caroline : just said it . thomas : nailed it . caroline : [ chuckles ] thomas : yeah , i mean , i 've always known that i wanted to start a family , have a full house . just -- i have n't found the right partner yet . it takes time . or -- or i can just walk out those doors and she 'll be right there waiting for me . kind of like you did just that -- that one ordinary afternoon . caroline : [ laughs ] thomas : you know , you just step out of a limo , and bam ! you 're just stopping hearts . you know how unfair that is to every man , including myself ? how am i supposed to compare anyone else with you ? caroline : uh , you ca n't , 'cause i 'm one of a kind . this is it . thomas : [ laughs ] well , you got that right . caroline : [ laughs ] so , about the sketch ... thomas : yes . yeah . go ahead . show me . caroline : uh , your dad wants you to lower the neckline . thomas : hmm . okay . so ... a little bit more like ... that ? caroline : mm , i do n't think i 'm explaining it right . he -- he wants it to be in a `` v `` to accentuate the dip in the necklace that it 's paired with so it 's more cohesive . thomas : okay , well , um ... caroline : mm , no . thomas : like this . caroline : nope . it 's me ! i 'm not explaining it right . can i -- okay . can i just show you ? thomas : yeah . show me . caroline : okay . he wants it .	caroline says she knew ridge the artist , but not ridge , the corporate guy but she likes it . she says she would like to stand here and smooch all day but they need to get to work . he says that is the perks of being boss . he asks about thomas . she says he is his son and he wants to be here so she thinks he should be . he says being a forrester has it 's perks but he does n't want his son to just walk in here and expect special treatment . thomas offers zende help on the sky lounge . zende thanks him and says he will do whatever he can to make forrester better . thomas says he hears that . his dad is putting him through the paces . his dad and caroline are working exclusively together but he 's hoping to join them . brooke walks in on caroline and ridge and wants to show them a pix of r. j. caroline leaves . brooke realizes she has brought up a sensitive subject if his girlfriend wants children and he does n't . she pries more and asks how this is going to work out with her biological clock ticking and she is a perfect age to have children , it might be her life goal . she probably is covering that up more than ridge can see . it does n't just go away . he realizes that .
eric : you have not touched your martini . here we are . quinn : no . no , i 'm just -- i 'm not -- i 'm not in the mood . i mean , maybe if we had something to celebrate , like , i do n't know , a certain someone moving out ? i want to go up and check on sheila and james . i want to -- i want to see how the exam is going . eric : all right . but let 's not forget why she 's here in the first place . quinn : [ sighs ] okay . yes . maybe i should n't have let things get so ... out of control . and if i am the one who hurt her , then ... of course i want to make sure that she 's okay . but , i mean , come on . this concussion ? it 's really a bit too much . i mean , i - i 'm having a really hard time not believing it 's just one big fat lie . james : how long do you intend to drag this out ? sheila : as long as it takes . james : as long as it takes for you to become eric 's wife again ? so you 're gon na fake this concussion for the rest of your life ? sheila : what makes you think i 'm faking ? that woman knocked me cold . james : okay . so it was painful . but i hardly think the concussion warranted you being bedridden and observed for all this length of time . sheila : okay , maybe i 'm exaggerating just a little bit . but i 'm not gon na have to do that forever . eric is gon na see how horrible his wife is and kick her out . james : do n't you think eric will realize that for himself ? it does n't require you to play the part of some incapacitated houseguest . [ sighs ] i want to tell them the truth . sheila : go ahead . if your career does n't mean anything to you . james : oh , please , sheila . be reasonable . sheila : no , you know what ? you 're gon na lose everything . you mention one word to eric , and your nasty little drug habit will become very public . is it worth it , james ? you want to lose your practice over this ? think about it , james . you think long and hard before you say anything . justin : no second guessing . bill : never do . any updates ? justin : i spoke to our helper . things are moving along . looks like you 'll get your building . bill : well , you know me . one way or another , i always get what i want . james : we do n't have to tell them that we 've been lying . but come on . you ca n't still be wobbly and woozy , not now . not after all this time . my reputation is at stake . sheila : you should 've thought about your reputation before you were self- prescribing those meds . james : that was a minor lapse in judgment . i have been in treatment . that is over now . sheila : then let 's keep it over . look , nobody has to know , james . do n't make me tell . [ muffled voices ] they 're coming . [ knock on door ] eric : sheila ? james ? sheila : [ sighs ] come in . eric : how are things in here ? quinn : any improvements ? sheila : oh , not -- not really , no . quinn : i was n't talking to you . i assume that , uh , she can be on her own now ? sheila : i - i really -- i ca n't even imagine [ coughs ] going back to the -- the hotel right now . quinn : oh , no , no , no . see , you do n't have to . i 've actually been looking into some short - term rentals for you . and i - if you ca n't afford the first month 's rent , i 'm sure eric and i can figure out some kind of a loan . sheila : that 's very sweet of you , but a bit premature . i ... i 'm sure any rentals that you 're looking at are gon na be gone by the time i 'm ready to move . quinn : no . by tonight ? i do n't think so . sheila : tonight ? well , what are you talking about ? quinn : well , she 's recovered , right ? from her concussion . there 's no reason sheila has to stay here any longer . eric : can we agree to trust james on this ? quinn : depends on what he has to say . eric : look , i know how badly you want sheila to go . quinn : do you ? eric : yes , i do . but i feel badly . she comes all the way to l.a. to make amends , and then all of this happens . quinn : she got what she deserved . eric : all right , james . um ... so , what 's the news ? is she ready to leave ? james : well , there 's no doubt she 's doing better . quinn : i knew it . james : but do you want to take the risk ? quinn : what risks ? i - if she -- she can leave , she leaves . james : eric told me that he wants to keep this quiet . if she leaves here now and relapses and she goes to the hospital , the press may get wind of it . i think there 's a lot to lose if you ask sheila to leave here this evening . but if she gets to spend a little longer here , then it may make all the difference . eric : look , i asked james to come here . we have to trust his opinion . he knows what he 's talking about . sheila : look , i ... we might be able to make it happen . i am getting ... better . as -- as long as somebody would call every morning to make sure that i wake up . quinn : oh , please ! sheila : eric , i want to ... i 'm so thankful for you letting me stay here as long as you have , and ... [ sighs ] it 's because of you that i 've -- i 've been getting so much better , and ... more than you know , it 's just -- [ sighs ] it shows me what kind of a man that you are , willing to put my needs first . quinn : it says a lot about the kind of person that you are , too . putting on this really phony act so you can take advantage of a man who 's as kind as eric . eric : all right , look . this is enough . look . there 's no harm in letting her stay a little longer , and there 's potential harm in releasing her too soon . is n't that right ? let 's do the right thing . sheila stays . bill : she does n't know it yet , but this is going to be good for sally . you see , i understand her . people come from nothing , they thrive in the face of adversity . justin : you are hilarious . bill : well , think of the comeback story a couple of years from now . `` spectra fashions finally rebuilds . `` far , far away from their downtown roots , of course . maybe at a -- i do n't know . a warehouse in the valley . yeah , that would be perfect . and i 'll do a feature on them in eye on fashion . see , i do n't want sally to fail forever . just for right now . justin : well , considering the sudden technical glitches that are happening at spectra tonight , i think it 's safe to say that her failure 's guaranteed . bill : well , it 's about time . i waited long enough to get my hands on that property . now , you were clear about my instructions , right ? to wait until nobody was in that building ? justin : i 'm always very clear . i promise you . no worries . no one will get hurt . the only thing dying tonight is a dream or two . bill : and a handful of tacky dresses . sally : all right . this is for you , aunt sally . we have full bellies . we 've had caffeine . are you guys ready for another productive all - nighter ? shirley : [ squeals ] ready ! saul : what 's that smell ? fire ! shirley : oh ! sally : the collection ! shirley : no , no , no ! saul : sally , do n't !

[ sirens wailing ] justin : the fire trucks are on their way . bill : already ? wow . i was hoping there 'd be more time for nature to take its course . justin : seems like nature is doing its thing just fine . it 'll be too late by the time the fire trucks get there . bill : poetic , is n't it ? i mean , could you imagine that company slowly fading into bankruptcy ? no . much more fitting that spectra fashions goes out in a blaze of glory . [ all coughing ] shirley : sally , they say that somebody 's already called 911 . well , tell me they 're almost here ! sally : is there a fire extinguisher out here ? shirley : sally , 911 wants us out of here now ! saul , make her come away from there ! sally : i am not leaving my collection ! there 's a rack in there , and i have to get it . shirley : it 's not worth your life ! sally , stop ! saul : leave it ! leave it ! they 're in here . they 're in here . you guys got to get out of here . this building is going up in flames . come on . come on . okay . okay . come on . ma'am , you 've got to leave . sally : no . no , i -- shirley : i 'm not leaving without my granddaughter ! sally ! please ! sally ! ma'am , you 've got leave it . you 've got to go now . sally : no , i can't . i can't . right now , ma'am ! go , go , go ! get out !

'cause that 's where you 're going to be tonight . sheila : excuse me ? quinn : i knew it . i knew it ! sheila : you knew what ? quinn : you were faking it . sheila : no , you do n't know what you 're talking about . quinn : yeah , i just walked in here , and you were walking around . sheila : no , i was standing . quinn : no , no . you were n't walking around , you were -- you were kind of dancing around , and humming . sheila : no . i told you , i - i -- i got up . i was getting a glass of water . quinn : yes , because you can . because you 're fine . because you 're healthy . sheila : no . quinn : and you are going to be out of here tonight . sheila : eric wo n't allow that . quinn : eric ? eric 's gon na kick you out of here all by himself once i tell him what i walked in on . sheila : no , you did n't walk in on anything . i - i told you , i - i can stand . it does n't change anything . it does n't change what you did to me . quinn : oh , what i did to -- you bled a little . all you needed was a band - aid on your boo - boo , and to be sent on your merry way . but instead you just sat here . you milked this whole situation . sheila : know what ? it also does n't change what you did to eric . cheating on him with his son . quinn : [ laughs ] really ? i mean , he forgave me for that . why are you bringing that up again ? it 's one more reason why you need to be out of here tonight . you say you 've changed . you have n't changed at all . and eric needs to see you for who you really are . quinn : oh ! stop it ! get -- get off of me ! [ vase shatters , quinn screams ] eric gave me that ! it was from monaco ! sheila : what are you gon na do about it ?

[ sobbing , coughing ]	with spectra blazing and bill with a drink in his hand adoring his sky , he basks in the glory of his victory . eric tells quinn that she has not touched her martini . she says she is not in the mood for it tonight . she adds perhaps if they had something to celebrate like a certain guest leaving . she 'd like to go up and see how sheila is doing with her examination with james . eric reminds her of why sheila is there in the first place . quinn says yes she realizes she could have had more restraint . she is finding it hard to not believe this is one big fat lie . when james watches sheila he asks how long is she going to drag this out . she replies as long as it takes . he adds until she becomes mrs. eric forrester so she will have to fake this concussion the rest of her life . a little concussion does not deserve to be in bed this length of time . sheila replies that she wo n't have to do it forever as eric will see how horrible his wife is and kick her out . james says okay but it does not require her to be the injured houseguest . he wants to tell the truth . she says okay if his career does n't mean anything to him . she threatens him that if he mentions one word to eric his nasty little drug habit will become public . she tells him to think about it losing his practice over this . he better think long and hard before he says anything . he should have thought of his reputation before he self medicated . he comments that he 's been in treatment and that is over . she says okay they need to keep it over . nobody has to know so do not make her tell .

( doorbell ) brooke : you did n't do this for me . you did this for eric . you did this for the company , for your mother , for your family . and once again was second in line . why not ? because brooke will always be there . she will always understand . ridge : this is different , brooke . this is very , very different . brooke : you 're damn right it is . ridge : i 'm asking you now to think about it . just think about it . brooke : get out of here ! go ! ridge : brooke ? logan ? you here ? anybody ? i 'll just wait . macy : what a day . deacon : yeah , what a day . macy : are you kidding ? come on . brooke logan was speechless . that woman always gets the last word . deacon : not today . macy : new york not today . today we did . you and me and everybody else she 's ever knocked down . deacon : you think she got what she deserved then , huh ? macy : i think eric got what he deserved . he got the company that he created back . deacon : he looked happy . macy : yea . deacon : so do you . macy : yeah . you bet i am . are n't you ? nick : i almost smacked her myself . both of them . should have brought you to the boat . i 'm sorry . brooke : i never should have sent macy that drink . nick : i do n't know that woman very well , but i have a feeling she probably would have come up to the table even if you had n't . brooke : she just had a chance to rub my nose in it . nick : maybe you ought to stay away from her for a while . brooke : i do n't run away from my problems . nick : i know you do n't . but if i had the strongest ship in the fleet , i do n't think i 'd take her into a hurricane . brooke : i just want this day to end . nick : it does n't have to be a total loss . i 'm not going anywhere . brooke : that 's sweet , nick , but you do n't really have to stay . nick : first , i 'd like you to stop feeling sorry for yourself . brooke : i 'm not . i wo n't . nick : just give me some idea . what do you need ? brooke : what i really need is a couple of aspirin and a good night 's sleep . nick : pulling the covers over your head is not going to change anything . brooke : neither will talking about it . nick : sometime it 's good to say negative , ruthless back stabbing people about the people you just left . brooke : look , i appreciate what you 're trying to do . i really do . but i think that macy is right . i do n't know what i 'm going to do tomorrow . i 'm not going to be c.e.o . of forrester creations anymore . nick : that 's true . the bottom line is it 's just a job . you 'll get another one . brooke : no , it 's not just a job . it 's how i thought of myself . nick : you 'll be okay . brooke : look , i just need to be alone right now . nick : call you tomorrow . brooke : okay . nick : your ship 's not sinking ; it 's just ... changing course . deacon : i 'm glad that you 're feeling good about yourself . macy : that 's great , but i asked you how you were feeling . deacon : i feel fine . macy : fine . deacon : i hear you talking about eric and about him getting his company back . macy : you disagree with that ? deacon : i do n't disagree with it , but i think there 's a hell of a lot more to it . wait a second . look at the way that you went after brooke tonight . macy : i did n't do anything , deacon , until she sent two shots of tequila over to our table . deacon : that pissed me off tom i 'm still angry about it . macy : i 'm in a good mood . deacon : i think there 's a big difference between being in a good mood and being juiced up on adrenaline . macy : yeah ? what 's wrong with that ? deacon : there 's nothing wrong with it . listen , ' i 'm beat , okay ? i 'm tired . i 've had a long day . macy : you 're worried that we used little d 's shares to get back at brooke . deacon : did we ? is that what 's going on here ? brooke : ridge . ridge : logan . brooke : what are you doing here ? ridge : waiting for you . brooke : waiting for me . ridge : i wanted to talk to you alone . brooke : i 'm not really in the mood for an apology ridge i did n't come here with an apology . i 've got something a lot better than that . brooke : you have 10 seconds to get out of here . because after what you did to me today , i do n't ever want to see you again . deacon : mace , i do n't mean to give you a rough time . macy : you want to know why i 'm so pumped up ? deacon : yeah . macy : because of you . deacon : why ? because i voted brooke out of her own company ? macy : because you gave me the strength and the confidence that i needed to finally stand up to her . deacon ... you do n't know what it was like , living in that woman 's shadow , feeling her pull thorne away from me at a time in my life when he was the only thing that i had to hold onto . and she said she did n't mean to hurt me . she knew exactly what she was doing . she knew what it would do to me to take him away from me , and she did n't care . she did n't stop . she did n't even hesitate . deacon : hey , that 's old news . macy : i know . i know , and i 'm over it . it 's all behind me now . thanks to you . deacon : hey , you know what ? i should be thanking you . you lit a fire underneath me . you told me that i had a right to have a relationship with my kids . macy : i did not want her to do to you the same thing she did to me . i saw her pulling hope and little d out of your life . deacon : d you want to get even . macy : i want you to know your kids , deacon . and i want her to know that she does not intimidate us anymore . i 'm not afraid of her , deacon . no matter what she says , no matter what she tries . deacon : that 's just t she 's not going to try anything . macy : oh , really ? she already has . deacon : what are you talking about ? macy : on our wedding day , deacon . she threatened to steal you away from me the same way she stole thorne away from me . she did n't think i would go through with the wedding if i thought that i would lose you . deacon : whether you like it or not , you 're stuck with me . you ai n't going to lose me . macy : i know . i think that for the first time in my life , i 'm certain of that . i 'm certain of you . of our marriage , and myself . and not even brooke can make me doubt that . as of today , i am free of that woman ! and brooke logan ca n't do anything to me . ridge : logan , just hear me out . brooke : i do n't want to hear a word that you have to say , ridge . ridge : i think you 're going to be interested in this . brooke : what is that ? a bribe ? ridge : losing your place in forrester does not mean it has to be the end of the story , brooke . brooke : it is for me . ridge : it could be a beginning for us . brooke : there is no us . ridge : i meant what i said . we can start a new company . a company all our own . brooke : from scratch . no ! ridge : why not ? brooke : ridge , after all of hard work that i 've done , i 'm not going to go back to square one . i 've given forrester everything . my best effort , my best ideas , the best years of my life . ridge : the best years of your life are ahead of you , brooke , and this company could be a part of it . something all your own , no interference from my mother or my father . brooke : or from you . ridge : me ? i 'm offering my service as lead designer . come on , logan . with your business experience and my creativity , what a perfect partnership that is . brooke : ridge there , would be too much to do . we would he to find the supplies , find the location , get the clientele . the investors . no , there 's too much to do ! ridge : what if we could just skip all that . brooke : just skip all that . ridge : yeah . because this company ask is up and running right now . brooke : i am not leaving la . ridge : you do n't have to . brooke : so there 's a company for sale right now here in los angeles ? what is it ? a mom and pop outfit ? ridge : no , a first class operation right in the heart of the garment district , 6th and wyler . brooke : that 's spectra fashions . ridge : not anymore it is n't . brooke : logan designs ?

i got to tell you something , you were pretty tough out there ton throwing that drink in her face . macy : tell you what , i 'll never forget the look on her face . deacon : i do n't think i 'll forget the look on your face . there 's something very sexy about a powerful woman . macy : you like that , do n't you ?

ridge : that 's the deal . brooke : are you serious ? ridge : brooke , you 're not going to get an offer like this from forrester creations . think of it like this . you 'll still own 49 % of forrester and you 'll have your own company . brooke : you sure saally 's not going to fight this ? ridge : not if she wants to stay on board , but that 's really up to you . brooke : logan designs . ridge : not bad for a girl from the valley . brooke : this was your plan all along , was n't it ? ridge : this is what you need , logan . a life free from my mother 's meddling . away from all the scrutiny and the criticisms . a company of our own , brooke . just you and me doing what we do best . brooke : what about massimo ?

think about it . building our own empire . set the standard , brooke . logan designs would be the most respected , most profitable fashion house in all of america . we can do this , logan . be a whole new beginning for us , and it starts right here and now . so what do you say ? brooke : you ... how can i be so angry with you one minute and then -- ridge : crazy about my the next ? brooke : yes . no , i do n't know , maybe i 'm just crazy . ridge : you are crazy . no doubt about that . but you better get used to it , because i 'm going to drive you crazy for many years to come . tomorrow logan designs will be born . tomorrow , my love , is the beginning of the rest of our lives together .	brooke and macy keep on arguing and macy says brooke is pathetic . the two women separate . deacon and macy go home . deacon makes sure this is n't about revenge . macy assures her husband that though it was sweet to see brooke suffer , this was about justice for everyone brooke hurt , not revenge . they proceed to have some nice lovin ' . ridge heads over to brooke 's and just walks in ( ! ) . i guess they do n't lock doors , even after the sheila incident . nick and brooke head home and although angered by macy 's words , she realizes she is right . nick tells her to take a break and figure things out tomorrow . ridge leaves as nick watches . ridge surprises who is n't in a mood to talk to him . with a stunning revelation , he offers her a ceo at spectra , but under the name `` logan designs . `` he even has a stupid looking logo to boot . although taken aback , brooke accepts and kisses ridge . yawn . this show only had 5 characters today !

[ scene_break ] liam : the only thing hope said `` no `` to is premarital sex . i respect that . steffy : this is what the logans do . they use their sexuality , or in this case , lack thereof , to control their men . you get mixed up with a logan , and you 're gon na feel exactly the way hope made you feel tonight -- empty . it does n't have to be this way .

[ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) ridge , i know you 're caught in the middle . you have two daughters involved . ridge : steffy and hope interested in the same man . brooke : mm - hmm . we 've been through this before . ridge : i just do n't want to see steffy disappointed again . brooke : but that 's what will happen if she thinks she can come between hope and liam . i mean , she must realize after the proposal that liam is committed to hope , and any attention that he ever showed her was purely sympathetic . ridge : well , sympathy is one of the things that steffy has n't had a whole lot of lately . she certainly could have gotten a lot more from me . brooke : you are a good father to both steffy and to hope . and of course steffy 's attached to liam . he saved her life . he is her hero . but that does n't mean he has to be her boyfriend . liam is committed to hope . and i think steffy is even starting to accept that . [ scene_break ] hope : i saw you talking to liam . steffy : it was a big night for you , huh ? you know , first a preview , and then a proposal . hard to top that . why even try ? hope : liam told you what happened tonight ? steffy : oh , you mean what did n't happen ? hope : ( sighs ) steffy : no , he did n't tell me . he did n't have to . it was kind of obvious the moment he walked in the door . hope : you think i 'm just being a tease , do n't you ? steffy : no , not really . i just -- you 're not mature enough to deal with your issues or to give your man what he needs . that 's all . hope : liam understands why i want to wait . steffy : well , he thinks you 're taking a stand , but i think you 're scared . and it 's okay . just do n't turn it into some kind of moral crusade or anything . hope : i 'm not . steffy : will you just listen to me ? i - i 'm just tryin to help you out . hope : what did you say to liam ? when he told you that i wanted to wait , what did you say to him ? steffy : i told him to call off the engagement . hope : ( sighs ) wow . look , he wo n't . steffy : no , he 's just setting himself up for a lot of frustration and disappointment , and so are you . hope , your feelings are not gon na change when he puts a ring on your finger . so it 's better to deal with it now than later . hope : hey , steffy , you do n't have to worry about me and liam . our wedding night , we 'll see fireworks , okay ? it 'll be worth the wait for both of us . steffy : you know , i hope so . you build something up like this , it 's bound to be a letdown . it 's hard to live up to the hype . hope : it 's not hype , and i 'm not scared . i 'm really serious about this . steffy : well , that 's good , because liam is serious about you look , i told him that this engagement was a mistake . but he asked you , so i 'm gon na respect that . hope : you 're -- you 're not gon na pursue him ? steffy : i did n't invite him here tonight . i did n't invite him into my apartment to save my life . hope : what 's changed , steffy ? steffy : ( sighs ) i know this road . my mom 's been on it a long time . she 's constantly losing to your mom . i do n't want that to happen to me , so i 'm gon na go in a different direction . hope : wow , i do n't know what to say right now . steffy : do n't you dare say thank you . hope : okay , then i wo n't . um , good luck . steffy : you , too . hope : i should -- i should find liam . steffy : just tell him i say congratulations , all right ? steffy : ( sighs ) liam : so ... i heard what you said . thank you . steffy : no , liam , thank you .

katie : liam and steffy -- they never would have gotten together if bill had n't been involved . now , they would tell you otherwise , but that 's the truth . bill wanted steffy to be a part of the family , and it did n't matter that liam was with hope . watch out . he 'll do the same thing to you . wyatt : wow . everything that my mom said about him -- it -- why she kept it from me , it 's -- it 's all true . katie : i can understand why she would n't want him to be part of your life . i guess if i had the same opportunity to protect will ... listen , i ... i wanted my marriage . i was willing to fight for it . we have been through a lot , and i am not blameless . i will take responsibility for my part . but i wanted to save my marriage . not bill . i just do n't fit into his plans anymore . bill : so , how 's it going with wyatt ? liam : fine . bill : getting along ? liam : since he stopped kissing my fiancé , yeah , sure . bill : [ chuckles ] okay , good . liam : i mean , can you blame me , though , being a little wary of the guy , kissing hope in my own home ? bill : he 's learning house rules . you decked him , right ? okay , i 'm sure he gets it . liam : he 's lucky that 's all i did . what ? bill : [ chuckles ] sibling rivalry -- it 's good . you know , two men staking their claim . liam : oh , well , i 'm glad you 're entertained . anyway , i did what you asked . i welcomed him with open arms back into my house . bill : my house . liam : your house . i 'm just -- i 'm telling you , dad , i - i got a feeling about this guy . bill : what do you mean a feeling ?

wyatt : at least you tried to make it work and save the marriage . katie : bill 's moved on . he thinks he wants brooke . wyatt : he has a kid , a great wife , and he still wants to leave ? katie : your mother was right to keep him away from you . wyatt : i 'm starting to see that . katie : we had a beautiful family , but he 's thrown it away to be with my sister . wyatt , it 's good that you 're seeing him for who he is now . maybe it wo n't hurt so much when he throws you away . rick : you were at my place this morning . maya : your guest was still there . rick : maya . maya : she was coming out of the shower . i see that you 've been trying to psych yourself up to tell me about last night , so stop stressing . it 's already been said . rick : i did n't want you hearing it from her . maya : i know the feeling . rick : okay , well , obviously i have some explaining to do . maya : it 's pretty clear . rick : no , no . i - i do n't think you understand . it was n't like that . maya : you spent last night with caroline . what am i not understanding ? rick : i was upset . maya : yeah . upset , drank too much , jealous of carter because he spent the night on the couch . so you pull away from me , and then what ? you walk out the door and call caroline and tell her to come on over ? rick : no . no , no , no . she was there . she was at my house when i got there . maya : and i was a phone call away , waiting for you ... praying that i had n't messed things up . here . rick : what are you doing ? maya : take it . rick : i 'm not gon na take it . it 's yours . maya : it belonged to your grandmother . you should n't have given it to me . maybe someday you 'll care enough about a woman not to let an argument and a couple of drinks get in the way . give it to her . and take this , too . it 's my letter of resignation . wyatt : what kind of man does that ? uses a woman , gets her pregnant , and then just tosses her aside when someone else shows interest ? you know , my mother did n't deserve that . and you do n't , either . katie : well , i do n't know what bill was thinking back then . i mean , he was young . people do stupid things when they 're young . but he does n't have that excuse anymore . he 's a grown man . he makes his own choices . wyatt : i 'm sorry . katie : do n't be . i 'm really glad i got to meet you . wyatt : yeah . katie : remembering bill 's history and recognizing his patterns -- i mean , maybe this would have happened no matter what . wyatt : wait . have you been blaming yourself ? katie : i had postpartum depression . and i did some -- i did some bad things . i thought my son would be better off without me , and i left him , and i will never forgive myself for that . i got help , and i came back , and i asked bill to forgive me , and i thought that he had , but it was too late because brooke had already gotten to him . wyatt : you almost died giving birth to a child , and now he 's leaving you ? katie : as i said , you 're his son . get used to it . wyatt : you know what ? you have so much more to live for , katie -- with or without him . katie : [ chuckles ] where are you going ? wyatt : maybe liam 's a good little boy who lets his daddy get away with whatever he wants . not me . rick : you 're not quitting . maya : i ca n't stay here anymore . this is your place with caroline . rick : i wo n't let you leave . maya : it was a mistake thinking that i could be a part of this . rick : you are a part of this . maya : the hollywood fashion house , the glamour , the money -- it was a thrill being a part of it for a while , but it 's not who i am . not because i ca n't be , but because i do n't want it to be . i do n't want to be the kind of woman that caroline is . she 's more your type -- manhattan socialite , designer . it 's -- it 's not hard to see why you would turn to her last night . if i stay here , she will always be a problem . and i 'm not fighting that anymore . goodbye . bill : look , i realize it 's an adjustment -- you know , getting used to a new brother . liam : yeah , huge adjustment . and you know something ? i 'm not -- i 'm not even trying to be difficult here . i mean , i want things to work out . i want to get to know the guy , joke around like brothers do . bill : all right , well , you 'll get there . no ? you wo n't get there ? liam : i do n't know . maybe . you do n't think it 's a little strange , though , how quickly and easily he acclimated to the spencer lifestyle , just strutting around in the beach house , you know , like your own little mini me . i mean , it 's annoying the way he sucks up to you . like , `` oh , my single malt scotch . i like my meat rare . `` it 's stupid . bill : all right , so he has good taste . liam : yeah , he has good taste . and he 's condescending . bill : oh , really ? liam : to me , yeah . bill : i have n't seen that . liam : yeah , 'cause he 's two - faced . bill : give him a chance . he 's trying . liam : no , no . he says he 's trying . but what 's he trying for , exactly ? i mean , maybe i 'm a terrible judge of character . i do n't think i am . but i get this feeling he 's choosing his words very carefully , saying exactly the right thing , trying to manipulate his way into your wallet , into our family . bill : he is family . liam : [ sighs ] yes . biologically , he 's family . i 'm just saying keep your eyes open when he 's worshiping the ground you walk on . wyatt : heard you were in here . bill : you heard right . wyatt : are you leaving your wife for her sister ? bill : you heard right again . wyatt : yeah , i just met katie . she 's a wreck . bill : what else is new ? i called you earlier . we had a family meeting . i wanted you to be there . wyatt : oh . i 'm glad i was n't . bill : what 's with the attitude ? you have a problem ? wyatt : yeah ! i have a problem with you walking out on another son . you convinced me to accept you . you made me think that you were someone that you were n't . you made me even walk out on my own mother . she told me that you were this self - centered person , this egotistical jerk who could n't be trusted , that i 'd be better off without you . bill : and now you know otherwise . wyatt : you did n't even want me in your life ! you walked out on her . you walked out on me . and now you 're doing it again ? bill : i am leaving katie . wyatt : oh . bill : i am not leaving my son . will will be just fine . wyatt : well , i was n't fine not growing up with a father ! and will wo n't be , either !	katie tells wyatt that she needs to be careful what she says . she does n't want to influence him about how he should feel about his father , but she can say if he allows bill into his world , he probably will be hurt . he needs to be prepared for what it means to be bill 's son . katie explains that bill does not know how to be a father since he did not have one growing up . wyatt does n't buy that excuse and is incensed that bill thinks he can just push children aside until they are old enough to drink with him . he does n't deserve liam or him being his sons . she tells him that bill always has his own agenda and he will begin to manipulate wyatt 's life too . she hopes wyatt does n't plan on picking his own wife . bill will do that for him . bill enters spencer publications and chastises the receptionist there for looking through a magazine and eating at her desk . then he proceeds to jump onto liam for what katie is doing . liam tells him to chill out . he 's on his team , but he really ca n't blame katie . she is now ceo . bill wants liam to try and help hope accept bill and brooke 's relationship . liam says he will try but hope has her own mind and this will take some time .
brooke : [ chuckles ] how is it you always manage to surprise me ? bill : well , does n't that tell you something ? the least predictable woman i know deserves the same in her man . at least we 'll never be bored . brooke : [ laughs ] i - i do n't even know what to say . bill : best deal you 'll ever make . brooke : [ sighs ] because it includes you in the payoff ? bill : well , i do n't want to put words in your mouth . you came to me with a business proposition -- include my 12.5 % of forrester in the divorce settlement . i gave you a counter proposal . you can have my shares free and clear . give them to forrester if you want to . i do n't give a damn . that 's my wedding gift to you . ridge : brooke is a persuasive woman . she always was . and i think she can do this . she can get the shares from bill . katie : well , you may be right . but bill is gon na want something in return . and we both know what -- or should i say who that is . thomas : mnh - mnh - mnh - mnh - mnh . so , what , uh -- what made you really stop by today ? sasha : just my responsibility to you . thomas : just to swing by and brighten up my day ? sasha : [ gasps ] see ? you already know . thomas : well , i 'm glad you did . sasha : good , 'cause i would n't want to be presumptuous . thomas : no , i kind of like it . it 's -- it 's hot . sasha : mm ? thomas : makes me want another kiss . sasha : go for it . [ knock on door ] or maybe i should have called first . thomas : i 'm not expecting anyone . nicole : hey . thomas : hey . nicole : pam said that you left these at the office by accident . thomas : thank you . nicole : sasha ? what are you doing here ? sasha : hey , nic . what 's going on ? nicole : i 'm good . surprised to see you here . i did n't realize you and thomas were friends . sasha : we 're getting there . thomas : yeah , sasha and i have been hanging out . it 's -- it 's been really nice . sasha : it has . thomas : she 's fun . nicole : yeah , she can be . sasha : well , thomas just gets too serious sometimes . i 'm just trying to lighten him up . thomas : she 's doing a great job , too . sasha : [ chuckles ] lemonade ? nicole : no , thank you . thomas : you know , i 'm surprised nobody caught that you two were sisters sooner . it 's -- it 's pretty obvious , actually . sasha : you think so ? thomas : yeah . oh , yeah . definitely . beauty times two . i mean , you guys must have been the tag team growing up . nicole : uh , we raised a little fuss . sasha : a tiny bit . thomas : oh , i bet . sasha : oh , we would have had your head spinning in no time flat . thomas : do n't doubt that for a second . katie : bill could n't be more blatant about wanting brooke back , and now he has something that she wants for you . he 's not above leveraging that . ridge : can i ask you something ? bill is such an -- he 's - he 's so -- he 's so crass . katie : [ chuckles ] ridge : why -- why do n't women see that ? katie : uh , women do . we do . i guess maybe perversely that 's kind of part of his charm . ridge : does n't make any sense . katie : you should ask brooke about that . those two are looking for an excuse , any excuse , to be together . and maybe bill 's shares of forrester give them exactly what they need . brooke : you 're actually bribing me into marriage . bill : hell , yeah , if it works . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill : no . it 's my grand gesture to show you how much you mean to me . brooke : you are outrageous . bill : i 've been called worse . what i am is in love with you . and you feel the same way about me , even if you 're not ready to openly admit it again . i see the future , brooke . and finally , life is good . brooke : [ sighs ] bill , i wish you would n't -- bill : yes , you do . brooke : you are an arrogant man . [ chuckles ] bill : i prefer `` confident . `` sure of myself . and sure about us . and so are you . you just need a little incentive , a nudge in the right direction . and i 'm happy to provide that for you . you want to give forrester my 12.5 % so he can pull off another little coup . fine . all i care about is you , convincing you to come back where you belong . i 've given you a lot to think about . so , mull it over . and then accept the deal ... brooke : [ laughs ] bill : ... so we can move on with our life together . thomas : you girls good ? sasha : yeah . thomas : i , uh -- i left my phone on the roof . nicole : uh , you know , i can just go if i 'm in the way . thomas : absolutely not . stay . talk with your sister . sasha : okay , what is this look ? nicole : no look . sasha : come on , nic . i know you . you 've got questions . nicole : to be honest , it was a surprise to find you here . sasha : okay . nicole : do you come here often ? sasha : [ sighs ] like i told you , thomas and i are friends . nicole : you 're not dressed like a friend . sasha : and how exactly does a friend dress ? i 've got nothing to hide here . if there was something serious going on , i would tell you . nicole : is there a possibility that it could be ? sasha : i do n't know where we 're headed . i just know that thomas is a really cool guy , and i want to take the ride . nic , please , just do n't get in the way of this for me . bill : i want to jump on this now when katie 's in a good frame of mind to accept the divorce agreement . but moments of connection between us are fleeting , so i want this signed , sealed , and delivered a.s.a.p . justin : well , you wanted me to sweeten the deal . how 's this ? bill : wow . well , that 's pretty sweet . could send me into a diabetic coma . justin : [ chuckles ] bill : i 'm glad i have money to burn . justin : yeah . katie 's coming out of this marriage an extremely wealthy woman . bill : well , she deserves it . i put her through a lot . justin : she holding up okay ? bill : she 's doing great from what i can see . i mean , she looks fantastic . she 's got her confidence back . she 's not drinking . justin : oh , well , what about the forrester shares ? bill : they 're a non - starter , not negotiable . i 've got other plans for that 12.5 % -- life - changing plans . justin : something i need to know . bill : i 'm offering them to brooke as a wedding present . [ door opens ] brooke : katie . hi . katie : hi . um , i can go . i - i know that you 've just come from seeing bill , and i understand if i make you feel uncomfortable . ridge : did you , uh -- did you get anywhere with spencer ? brooke : maybe . ridge : maybe ? do n't tell me you got distracted . brooke : no . i went there to get the shares . katie : so , what happened ? did you convince him ? brooke : it 's possible . he sweetened your settlement agreement , by the way . ridge : to include the shares . brooke : more for the lack of them . he 's giving them to me . ridge : really ? brooke : as a wedding present . ridge : wait , he 's -- he 's , uh -- he 's trying to barter you into marriage ? katie : did you accept ? brooke : he 's given me some time to think about it . katie : [ scoffs ] what 's there to think about ? i mean , it 's the perfect solution . ridge : look , if -- katie : no , really . it 's brilliant . i mean , leave it to bill to go right to the heart of the deal . everybody gets what they want . you get your shares to stop quinn , and you get bill . brooke : katie , it 's not -- katie : damn it , brooke ! just do it . sasha : we 've been through so much together , and unfortunately , most of it has n't been good since i moved to town . nicole : yeah , well , we 're trying to move past all of that , so we should probably stop revisiting it . sasha : i do n't think we have a choice . it 's still here . it 's the elephant in the room every time we 're together . you and me being sisters , and i knew all along and did n't say anything . i 've lost your trust , and i understand that . i have to gain it back , and that 's gon na take some time , but i 'm growing and changing more and more every day . but , nic , you 've got to let it happen . nicole : why would i stop it ? sasha : you might not like the idea of thomas and me . nicole : yeah , well , he has a son with caroline . sasha : i know that . nicole : so , is he even available ? sasha : he has n't told me otherwise . nic , we 're not even there yet . thomas is just a really nice guy , and i 'm enjoying spending time with him . and i 'd like to think he 's enjoying spending time with me , too . thomas : you do n't have to worry about that . i am . i can give you guys more time , if you need . justin : you sly fox . you seriously offered your forrester stock to brooke as a wedding gift ? bill : it 's time , justin . brooke and i should have been married a long time ago . justin : except you were married to her sister . bill : well , katie and i are over , and i 'm done waiting . i want my life with brooke back as soon as possible . so , if that means i have to nudge it along a little bit , i can do that , conscience clear . katie : please , god , brooke , free us from our collective misery , especially me . i mean , have n't i been tortured enough ? bill wants you . you want bill . there 's nothing standing in your way , so go for it . brooke : you 're still bill 's wife . katie : yeah , well , that 's a situation that 's going to be rectified very soon . ridge : katie , the breakup of a marriage -- that 's a -- that 's a painful thing . you can allow yourself to be sad . katie : of course i 'm sad . bill was my husband . we had a family together . but that does n't matter , because some things just are n't meant to be , no matter how hard you try . and some things ca n't be stopped . so , please , do n't restrain yourself on my account . i 'm moving on . you know what ? there 's a freedom in letting go . i 'm allowed to be myself , whoever the hell that is after all of this . but i 'm excited to find out . i 'm taking control of my life . ridge : there 's a lot to be said for that . katie : and there 's a lot to be excited about -- you know , new start , endless possibilities . i mean , thanks to bill 's generosity , i 've got plenty of cash . my son is healthy and happy . and best of all , i am beholden to no one . i 'm not like you . i do n't need a man to validate me . i can amuse myself until the right one comes along . brooke : i know you 're angry with me , katie . katie : actually , i 'm not . i know you do n't believe that . am i disappointed ? sure . i 'm human . this is not what i wanted . and a part of my heart will always be a little wounded , but there 's no point in being angry . it does n't solve anything . the only person it hurts is me and -- and my son . it 's a waste of time and energy , and i have wasted enough time and energy on you and bill . so , please , do what comes naturally to you . i do n't care . brooke : why do you keep pushing ? katie : because it 's inevitable . everyone knows it . i 'm not an obstacle anymore . i 'm not really sure i ever really was . i 'm starting a new project . i 'm going back to work . and every day , my son is gon na wake up and look at an awesome mother who gives him everything he needs . i 'm gon na instruct my lawyers to accept bill 's settlement . i 'm going to put this ugly chapter behind me and move on . you should , too . ridge : well , logan ... it 's up to you now . what are you gon na do ? thomas : families are the best . and the worst . nobody can hurt you like your father can , or your sister . i 'm sure it packs an even bigger punch when your best friend from down the street is actually your sister . nicole : it makes things complicated . thomas : sasha 's been honest with me . for what it 's worth , she loves you . she wants to be a part of your family . do n't lose that . make up for past mistakes . give her that chance . nicole : look , i get that you 're sincere . i respect your determination to change . and i 'm rooting for you . but damage was done . and it 'll take time for me to fully trust you again , but i 'm trying . sasha : fair enough . just , please , nicole , keep an open heart . remember what dad said . you ca n't send or receive love if it 's closed . nicole : i know . i hear you . sasha : hug ? nicole : why not ? i should get going . thomas : nicole , thanks for dropping off those sketches . i appreciate it . nicole : of course . sasha : you better be careful . you 're working on quite a habit . thomas : and what 's that ? sasha : you defended me again . bill : i love you . do n't ever forget that . brooke : i love you . ridge : look at me . bill 's shares of forrester -- they could change a lot of what 's wrong around here for sure . you and i could run this company , get rid of quinn , and rick could be more involved . what do you want ? brooke : i want that . you know , quinn does n't belong here , not after what she did to hope and liam and steffy . and poor wyatt , his whole life . and now she 's targeting eric . that is unacceptable . and , yes , i want rick to work here , side by side with you , you giving him those opportunities , making him feel wanted , needed . that has been a desire , a wish of mine for a very long time . ridge : at what price ? you want to marry bill spencer ? he 's such a tool . brooke : you and i do n't see bill the same way . ridge : you 're right about that , but if you 're gon na marry this guy , do it because it 's what you want , not because you want to do it for me . brooke : i would n't . believe me , i would never accept a proposal as a business opportunity , no matter what was on the table . ridge : so , that 's what you want ? you want to wake up next to that guy for the rest of your life ? [ cell phone rings ] brooke : [ sighs ] [ beeps ] brooke : hi , bill . bill : i want to see you tomorrow . i know i said i 'd give you time , but i ca n't wait any longer than that . brooke : tomorrow ? bill : i just pledged my life to you . you already know what you want , so let 's stop wasting time . i need your answer , brooke . i want to move forward . tomorrow . brooke : okay . bill : i love you . [ beeps ] brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : so , what are you gon na do ? you gon na marry that guy ?	bill reminds brooke that she came there for his shares and she can have them free and clear to do with them what she wants . all she has to do is marry him . she says that is blackmail . she wishes he would not do this . he thinks she just needs a nudge in the right direction and he is happy to offer that . now he has given her a lot to think about so they can begin their life together . sasha stops by again to brighten up thomas 's day . he ca n't stop kissing her . until nicole interrupts to drop some designs by ; she asks why sasha is here . she did not know they were friends . thomas tells nicole that sasha is doing a great job of cheering him up . ridge laments to katie that bill is so crass ; why ca n't women see that . katie says yes but he has charm too ; just ask brooke . bill tells justin he has money to burn and he wants to sweeten the deal with katie . but he has more plans for the forrester shares ; he wants to offer them to brooke as a wedding gift . brooke joins ridge and katie . she is direct and says bill is offering the shares to her as a wedding gift . katie wants to know if she accepted . even if bill gives her time , just do it ! thomas leaves sasha and nicole alone for a short time while he retrieves something off the balcony . nicole tells sasha she is not surprised she is here . sasha offers that she does not know where this is going but thomas is a cool guy and she wants to be along for the ride . sasha says they have been through so much and there is still an elephant in the room . she knows she will have to earn that trust again . thomas has given her no indication that he is not on the market so she would like to spend more time with him .
katie : will will always be your son . no custody agreement can change that . but you 've become like a stranger to him , bill . you -- you show up here , and he does n't know what you want , and it scares him . bill : so how is keeping us further apart any kind of solution ? katie : he needs to know that he has a home that he ca n't be forced out of , where his thoughts and his feelings are respected . bill : you are exacerbating the situation . katie : i think you should go now . bill : you think your new boyfriend has the answers ? katie : go home , bill . bill : i love my son . you know i do . there was a time when i was the only parent he could count on , when you abandoned him during your postpartum . then again when vodka meant more to you than love . i took care of him . i fed him , i changed him , i bathed him . i read him bedtime stories . i rocked him to sleep . that was me . now , will does n't remember any of that . but you take me to court , and he 'll know about it . and so will the rest of the world . thorne : i 'm not asking you personally to do anything . i know that family law is not your specialty . carter : actually , earlier in my career , i worked child custody cases in chula vista , and my brother was adopted . so what happens to kids whose parents ca n't or should n't be with them always feels personal to me . thorne : well , would you be willing to talk to katie ? shall we tell the doctor you 're ready ? [ knocks on door ] oh ! there he is ! liam : hey , uh , yeah , i 've been in the waiting room the whole time . i did n't realize you were already -- hi . mr. spencer ? hope : um , so we 're ready now . [ giggles ] hope : guess what ? liam : what ? hope : we get to see our baby today . liam : yeah , i 'm actually a little concerned about that . hope : why are you concerned ? what 's going on ? liam : well , what if ... what if the baby looks more like me than you ? i 'm kidding . i 'm kidding ! hope : liam , that is not funny ! liam : it 's a joke ! it 's -- it 's a little funny . hope : [ giggles ] dr. phillips : so , hope , are you ready to have a look at your baby ? hope : yes , we are . doctor , this is my husband liam . liam : um , yeah , we 've met . hope : oh . dr. phillips : mr. spencer , may i please have a word with you ? liam : [ chuckles ] um ... listen , doctor , i think i know what that word is , and i promise you , this is not what it looks like . okay , it is what it looks like , but it 's good , we 're all good . hope : i never thought to ask steffy who her obgyn was . liam : hey , you deserve the best , and dr . phillips is the best . dr. phillips : you 've got to watch out for these sweet - talking men . hope : mm . too late . liam : i , um , assume you may have questions . dr. phillips : questions not asked is my second specialty . shall we begin ? bill : that 's my chair . justin : wow . i thought you were off overcompensating for disappointing your kid . bill : will was n't having it , and neither was katie . justin : do n't beat yourself up about it , you know , parents , they neglect their kids , you know , for a little while , for one reason or another . so what ? everyone survives . bill : i do n't want to hear that word from you . justin : yeah ? uh , what , `` survive ? `` bill : `` neglect . `` or the word `` custody . `` [ knocks on door ] thorne : hey . katie : hey . you 're back . thorne : yeah . i brought reinforcements . katie : hi , carter . carter : hi . thorne : where 's will ? katie : um , he 's upstairs watching a movie . thorne : good , then we can talk . katie : sure . yeah . do i have to ask what this is about ? thorne : it 's about creating stability in will 's life . katie : and in your mind , that means going to battle with bill . dr. phillips : it looks like we did n't do any imaging at your last appointment . hope : mm , i was supposed to schedule a follow - up appointment , but i kind of forgot . liam : you did n't do something you were supposed to do ? i am so disillusioned right now . hope : [ chuckles ] dr. phillips : well , it looks like dad 's gon na have to be on prodding duty . hope : well , i mean , he did n't really know at the time . dr. phillips : that you were expecting ? hope : yeah , you know , i had only just found out myself . i mean , he might have been here , just not with me . dr. phillips : why do n't you hike your shirt up to the rib . hope : okay . dr. phillips : the gel , if it gets on your clothes , it 's not gon na stain . it may be a little cold . liam : um , hey , doc . i realize this situation is unconventional , but , i swear , we 're good . we 're all good . there 's no shame and there 's no secrets . dr. phillips : well , i 'm happy to hear it . it says a lot about the strength of character for all parties involved . but i 'll ask you to remember that i ca n't discuss one patient with another . liam : told you she was the best . hope : [ giggles ] is that ... ? liam : it is . dr. phillips : you 're not seeing triplets . hope you 're not disappointed . hope : but everything 's okay ? everything 's as it 's supposed to be ? dr. phillips : you 're looking at a healthy , beautiful baby . justin : so , katie wants sole custody , and you do n't want to give it to her . bill : of course not ! justin : well , why ? bill : what do you mean , `` why ? `` what kind of question is that ? justin : i 'm not encouraging it , but , i mean , what do you lose other than the responsibilities ? you still have full visitation . katie 's not gon na deny you that . that way , you can be the cool parent . take the kid out for ice cream , ball games , amusement parks with water slides , leaving the discipline , the homework , and the adolescent hormonal storms to mom . bill : no . no . no , no . i mean , what does that look like 10 or 15 years ? justin : i mean , he 'll be all grown up , and hopefully by then , you will be , too . bill : he 'll be another young man walking through that door , breaking my back , accusing me of not being around for him and not giving a damn about him or his mother . justin : do what you normally do -- give him a house . bill : right ? i mean , a beach house ! you would think ! but no . no , that has n't worked out real well for me , has it ? unh - unh . i 'm not gon na be that guy . justin : oh . so you do n't want to be what your father was to you . thorne : everything okay ? katie : yeah . yeah , he 's fine . thorne : good . katie : so , do you have experience with this ? carter : yes . but what i 'm not is a child welfare specialist who can advise you whether sole custody of will is right for you . thorne : look , i asked carter to come along so he could evaluate whether you 'd have a winning case if you decided to go for full custody . katie : [ sighs ] well , i guess , for me , it 's less of a question of whether i can . it 's more of a question of whether i should . i mean , bill may be falling down as a father right now , but he 's had an entire lifetime where has n't been able to depend on anyone , and maybe he 's still learning . thorne : or maybe he should have learned that on his own time . your son only gets one childhood . he should n't have to spend it disappointed and afraid . hope : i never thought it would look like this . that 's our baby 's face . liam : it 's a beautiful face . dr. phillips : we should be able to tell whether or not it 's a boy or girl in your next appointment . which you should make before you leave today . hope : thank you , dr . phillips . liam : thank you for everything . hope : oh , my gosh ! all of this time , growing inside of me , and i never pictured a face . and yet , here i am , looking at the face of someone that i 'm gon na love for the rest of my life . along with you , which was also love at first sight . katie : so , all of the x 's are days when will was scheduled to be with his father . carter : looks more than fair . katie : yeah , well , we 've had shared custody . carter : why are most of the x 's red ? katie : those were days where bill either canceled or did n't show up , and will stayed with me . thorne : let 's put it this way . the gardener is more of a father figure than bill . carter : what would wyatt and liam say about bill 's ... parenting style ? katie : [ scoffs ] carter : oh . that 's what i thought . katie : the thing is , i feel like we 're discounting a lot of the good things that bill does as a father . i mean , he 's -- he 's very generous . thorne : well , he 's one of the wealthiest men in the state . if he would rather buy you a restaurant than sit down and have a meal with you , can you call that generosity ? katie : bill 's world is my son 's birthright , and -- thorne : i understand , i understand . you do n't want will excluded from that . katie : no , i don't . thorne : i totally understand that . but you should be the one who decides how much time bill gets to spend with his son , do n't you think ? bill : how much do you know about family law ? justin : uh , more than a little , less than a lot . bill : what you learned back in law school . justin : you are no doubt sitting there thinking if katie dare files for sole custody , you 'll crush her . bill : you doubt it ? justin : [ chuckles ] with your parental track record , i mean , even your recent history is , uh ... yeah . bill : you 're forgetting i have 8 to 10 judges on speed dial who have to take my call . justin : yeah , but none of them are in family court , and if you find yourself in front of a judge that is , there is a very strong chance that you 'll lose . hope : i 'm back ! liam : hey ! hope : hey . liam : did your , uh , pregnant brain remember where the reception desk was ? hope : mm - hmm . yes . i scheduled two more appointments , refilled my prescriptions , and ... [ whispers ] i stole a folder . liam : you 're going to hell for that ! hope : i just do n't want the photo to get smudged or crinkled . liam : yes . hope : i know this might be all repetitive for you . liam : i 'm sorry , have we ever shared something like this before ? hope : never . liam : no . hope : hey , it 's yours , too . liam : yeah , but i like looking at you looking at it . hope : [ chuckles ] gosh , you go through your whole life thinking that your mind is in charge of your body , telling it what to do , you know , when to sleep , when to eat . and then , suddenly , you realize that , no , the body has just been steering the ship . gosh . a little life born out of love . liam : yeah . hope : i love you . liam : i love you . hope : i 'm so excited . bill : no one can accuse me of neglecting my son . i mean will . and even if i was , i did n't realize i was doing it . how am i supposed to know what fatherhood looks like , the way i was raised ? justin : if you 're thinking of using this as a defense tactic in court , don't . judges are used to fathers who do n't know what to do . there 's no law saying an idiot ca n't have children . but most fathers , they know how to show up . except for you . bill : you 're a smart guy . justin : [ scoffs ] yeah , right . a compliment after all these years , huh ? bill : maybe not the best - looking guy , but you 're a brilliant attorney , an iq that has to be [ whistles ] off the chart . justin : yeah ? so , what now ? what do you want me to do ? bill : you got me out of a lot of jams , and you 're gon na get me out of this one , too . justin : mm - hmm , and how am i gon na do that ? bill : you 're gon na talk to katie . make her an offer she ca n't refuse . justin : do you even know the woman ? there 's no offer that katie ca n't refuse . bill : then you will put on a blinding display of passion and logic in the courtroom . justin : [ sighs ] bill ... dollar bill , are you paying attention ? you do not want this to resolve itself in a courtroom . bill : well , no , of course i do n't ! you know who the cause of this whole thing is ? thorne freakin ' forrester , convincing katie that my own son needs protection from me . what , so a court battle ? that 's gon na protect him ? no . no , all that 's gon na do is expose him to the ugliness of people trying to take what does n't belong to them . katie : i 've made a lot of mistakes . i 'm not blameless . bill 's gon na come after me if we challenge him . carter : he may not have right on his side , but dollar bill has a lot of money and resources . thorne : okay , but this is n't about winning or losing . this is about that little boy upstairs and how he moves through the world . you both knew my daughter , right ? i dedicated my life to raising her as a single parent , but it was n't enough . and i tortured myself for years wondering if i could have done something differently . [ sighs ] maybe , but , uh ... aly was never the same after the way her mother died . you have a chance to intervene before bill 's recklessness and neglect teaches that boy not to trust anyone that comes at him with love . katie : but he does love will . he does . i know it . thorne : everyone loves their children . that does n't make you special . your actions count . look how will interacts with his father , okay ? he 's scared of him , you know ? he 's this guy that comes around . he 's moody . he takes him away from everything he loves -- his mother and his comfort zone . you let this go to court , and we can take that burden away from him . katie : `` we ? `` thorne : yeah . i want to make sure that will gets the childhood he deserves . i 'm also pretty fond of his mother , in case you had n't noticed . katie : [ giggles ] carter : katie , i 'm happy to work up the filing for you , if this is truly what you really want . katie : thank you . i -- i have to think about it . thorne : just remember -- every day you want gives bill a chance to say `` if i was that bad , why did n't you say something before ? `` take control , katie . make bill answer to how he conducts himself as a father . . .	katie keeps explaining to bill that she will never keep him from his son but she wants total custody . he is a scared little boy and never knows what to expect from his father . bill reminds her of her past with alcohol and post partum depression and how he was there for his son then . now if she intends to gain custody the whole world will know what bill knows . liam shows up with hope to see dr. phillips . she sees liam and is speechless , wants to speak with him . he says he knows what she is thinking and it is not what she is thinking .. well it is but all is okay . hope deserves the best and dr. phillips is the best . she quips to hope they have to watch these sweet talking men . he assures her there is no shame or secrets , everybody is good with this . justin tries to talk bill into that katie having full custody does not have to be that bad . he will still see him and take him out for ice cream , amusement parks , play ball and leave the disciplining to homeboy and his mom . but bill still says no that is not what he wants . carter stops by to see katie and of course thorne is still there . thorne says he knows this is not exactly carter 's specialty but he thought he might be able to advise katie if she decides to sue for full custody . carter says his brother is adopted so actually he has been involved in such cases back earlier in the day .
[ monitor beeping steadily ] brooke : he knows . thomas knows i would n't do anything to try to hurt him . and when he wakes up , he 's gon na tell ridge that . hope : look , my experience is that it is not safe to assume what thomas will say or do . brooke : honey , it did n't look like he was trying to apologize . it looked more like he was -- liam : hey . so , ridge is still just trying to get answers from the doctor . what looked more like what ? brooke : uh ... [ sighs ] what thomas was doing to hope . it -- it just looked like she was in trouble . liam : she was in trouble . brooke : i know . but hope says -- liam : we got to stop giving this guy the benefit of the doubt . the fact of the matter is , thomas was not safe to be around . i mean , is -- i - is he even unconscious right now ? or is he just doing whatever he can not to face the music ? hope : liam , i think the doctor would be able to tell that . liam : the doctor does n't know who he 's dealing with . we do . shauna : i hope you never have to sit at a dirty table in a windowless jail and wonder if your only child will ever see the light of day again . quinn : i do n't foresee that happening . shauna : you think i did ? quinn : are you saying that you thought she would get away with it ? shauna : quinn , i am so ashamed to come begging . i have nobody else to turn to . do you have any idea what that 's like ? you 're a forrester . you 're the only one in that family that knows the real flo . quinn : do i ? i mean , come on , shauna . i have been in some tough spots in my life , but ... to steal another woman 's baby and try and sell it ? shauna : that 's not what flo did . at all . flo : could there be some mistake ? the only visitor i 'd have is my mom , and she already came . det . sanchez : thank you , deputy . i wo n't be too long here . thought you 'd make bail . flo : well , she likes to talk like she has money . it 's a little trick you learn in vegas . det . sanchez : you learn a lot about bluffing in my business , too . flo : well , you wo n't have to deal with that with me . det . sanchez : i 'm glad . a little cooperation could do us both a world of good . shauna : i never laid eyes on this dr . buckingham . but flo was a victim . just like eric 's granddaughter was . quinn : you got to stop right there . i have been trying to withhold judgment . i need details . i need specifics . what you and flo knew , and when . det . sanchez : ms. fulton , we still do n't have an attorney on record for you . your mother insisted we could n't question you without one . flo : she wants to protect me . but i 'm not a minor . i 'm an adult . i am fine with a court - appointed attorney . and in the meantime , you can question me about whatever you want . a lawyer being here is not gon na change my answers . hope : should we do something about this ? brooke : no . there 's no love lost between those two , that 's for sure . but i do n't see the difference of him standing in there or standing out here . hope : well , i mean -- brooke : oh , what did the doctor say ? ridge : he 's gon na tell me when he has news , good or bad . where 's liam ? brooke : he 's in with thomas . ridge : and you thought that was a good idea ? liam : i wonder how many broken bones you have . i bet radiology is still counting . [ scoffs ] pretty amazing you survived . 'cause -- 'cause your death , it would be a - a tragedy for a number of people . but i 'm not one of them . what patients do n't realize is what they eat shauna : it 's terrible . that 's all i know . i swear i am telling you the truth . but if you do n't trust me , i do n't know what good swearing is at this point . quinn : did you know all of this when you first came to l.a. ? shauna : absolutely not . flo called me in vegas to tell me two things -- that she reconnected with wyatt , and that he found his father , and that she wanted to know more about hers . so i shut that down fast . days went by , and i could n't get it out of my head , so i wanted to come and check on her . and i knew you were here in l.a. , which was another incentive . quinn : when did you find out the rest ? shauna : when we found out storm logan was her father . hope said something about her giving up a baby . and i knew that was n't true . i 've never gone nine months without seeing my daughter . quinn : so you cornered her , and you made her fess up . shauna : i did . but i had it ringing in my ear that she was a logan , and that she should embrace this opportunity . [ quinn sighs ] i mean , even you said that , quinn . and i 'm not trying to make excuses . i 'm sorry . i thought i did what was best for my daughter . can you honestly say that you would n't have done the same thing ? [ recorder beeps ] det . sanchez : detective alex sanchez interviewing florence fulton . can you tell me , at what point did you realize that what reese buckingham was asking of you was n't just an innocent favor ? flo : when i saw the birth certificate . well , i mean , it was -- it was really official - looking , and it said that i - i gave birth at some medical center in las vegas on some date , and was cared for by some doctor that i 'd never met . i mean , it was all lies , obviously . the same lie i 'd been telling , only it was , uh , right there , all detailed in black and white . and there were some other , um -- there were some other papers that he had there , too . i do n't remember how many . det . sanchez : did dr . buckingham tell you where he got the forged documents from ? flo : he said it was better if i did n't know . and at the time , i was so shocked because i had just gotten the story out of him about where the baby really came from , and ... [ sighs ] i just dropped it . i did n't even know who hope was then . i did n't know anything about her , let alone that we were blood relatives . det . sanchez : are you aware that there 's an underground market for these fraudulent legal and medical documents ? we have an ongoing investigation that maybe you could help us with . if you 're willing . flo : what have i got to lose ? liam : can you hear me ? thomas ? ah , well . i guess i would n't want to wake up , either , if i were you . first you drive emma barber off mulholland , and then karma pushes you off a cliff of your own . i just -- i just really hope the law is not done with you yet . [ sniffles ] you know , it 's a shame that there is n't a law against using a woman 's broken heart to fill your bed . or getting an innocent child to help you do it . ridge : that 's got to make you feel powerful . trash - talking some guy who ca n't defend himself . liam : it 's kind of the opposite , actually . i know he 's not gon na pay for what he did . i 'm sure you and -- and all your money will see to that . ridge : you should n't be here . liam : yeah , i know . ridge : liam . liam : yeah ? ridge : i 'm really , really sorry for what he put you through . and he will face the consequences . but you 're right . i 'm only gon na let him fall so far . but not because he 's my son . because of something that you could n't possibly understand . you have never loved anyone deeply enough to stand by them , to support them , to forgive them . not even for something as awful as what my child did to you . my skin 's as rosy as i am . quinn : if you 're asking if i would do anything in my power to save my son from the consequences of a horrific mistake , of course i would . but being part of a plot to steal a newborn child is not a mistake he would make . shauna : flo did n't know . quinn : until she did ! i - i -- i tried to believe that there was more to this story . i - i even defended her to -- to eric and the family . but after hearing everything you just said , i - i ca n't do that anymore . and on top of all of that , you knew all of this shortly after you walked through that door and gave me the world 's biggest hug . that 's why i 'm so hurt . it 's why i 'm so angry . apart from my son and -- and my husband , i have never felt closer to any human being on this planet than i have to you . and that 's never gon na happen for me again , because -- because i 'm not a person who makes friends . but what flo did , what you did by covering up for her , was an attack on my family . it was an attack on my -- my husband 's granddaughter . it was an attack on wyatt by flo day in and day out . it was an attack on me by you , shauna . how could you have possibly accepted my invitation to live in my home knowing what you knew ? and now you 're calling on our friendship so that i can help you ? where was our friendship then ? after all these years , did you just see my -- my -- my new surroundings , and -- and you just saw dollar signs ? shauna : quinn -- quinn : no ! i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . but after hearing everything you just confessed ... [ sighs ] flo ca n't expect my help . and neither can you . det . sanchez : and it never occurred to you to come forward right away ? flo : of course it did . every day . det . sanchez : you did n't because ... ? flo : because , suddenly , i had a lot to lose . which obviously i did lose all of it . and everything i had before even coming to l.a. you know , it 's -- it 's kind of ironic . this is exactly what bad gamblers do . they get -- they get so obsessed with the idea of winning that they end up losing the stake that they walked in with in the first place . det . sanchez : were you advised not to come forward ? [ recorder beeps ] flo : look ... i 'm not gon na incriminate anyone else . you 're gon na have to do that digging on your own . with one exception . flo : i told everything to someone once , and it felt so good to finally say it out loud . unfortunately , i chose the wrong person to tell it to . thomas forrester did n't want the truth to come out , and he made threats about what would happen to me if i did n't keep my mouth shut . [ recorder beeps ] det . sanchez : this is new information . flo : well , you never asked . [ cellphone rings ] det . sanchez : excuse me . detective sanchez . what 's up , chief ? is somebody there to brief me ? okay . i 'm on it . [ cellphone beeps ] sorry , we 're gon na have to continue this later . thank you . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry about what i said . ridge : ah , just drop it . brooke : okay . ridge : no , you know what ? no . let 's -- let 's not drop it . my son is there fighting for his life , and you 're gon na call him violent ? where is that coming from ? brooke : i know . [ sighs ] ridge , i said i 'm sorry . it 's just , there 's an unstoppable instinct that happens when you feel like your child is being threatened . ridge : yeah , i 'm picking up on that . brooke : i 'd like to go in there and sit with him for a while if that 's okay . ridge : yeah . maybe he 'll respond to you . brooke : [ scoffs ] your father may never be able to forgive me . i wonder if i 'll ever be able to forgive you . [ indistinct announcement on p.a . ] hope : can i get you something ? coffee ? maybe something from the vending machine ? ridge , um , my mom , she -- she did n't know . ridge : she did n't know because she did n't take the time to find out what was going on . hope : do you really think that 's fair ? when we all know , you included , that thomas ' motives are n't always good ? we do n't know what would have happened if she did n't show up when she did . ridge : so throwing my son off a cliff makes her a hero now ? hope : i think it 's a matter of love gone wrong . she loves me . and she loves you . she would never , ever deliberately harm your son . i mean , you must know that about her . brooke : you thought you could trick hope into marriage as long as she did n't know that her little girl was alive . why would n't i think that hope was in danger when she was with you ? [ crying ] i did n't want this , thomas . i did n't want you to end up in some hospital bed . you would n't have if you told us the truth about beth . det . sanchez : heard about your son 's fall . i 'm sorry . ridge : thank you . det . sanchez : you 're all witnesses , i take it ? liam : uh , n - no , i 'm not . hope : uh , he was n't there till afterwards . and , um , ridge was there right as thomas fell . ridge : yeah , i 'm a witness . det . sanchez : so , what happened , exactly ? liam : i - it 's just like you said -- he fell . det . sanchez : i 'm asking how . you were n't there . hope : well , thomas and i were in the middle of a discussion . det . sanchez : both you and your mother ? hope : no , just with me . det . sanchez : i imagine emotions were running high . i 'm told that he knew that your daughter was alive and kept it from you . hope : he did . det . sanchez : did that make you unhappy , mrs . forrester ? brooke : yes . would n't that make you unhappy ? det . sanchez : so , this discussion that you were having , was it hostile ? hope : well , i know that i was afraid . det . sanchez : yet he 's the one that fell . hope : look , i did n't know what he wanted . ridge : until he told you . hope : yes , he tried to apologize . det . sanchez : so , what -- too little , too late ? liam : okay , i 'm sorry , can we stop ? you 're putting words in her mouth now . det . sanchez : yeah , but nobody 's saying much here . i mean , i would think in the time of a crisis like this that , you know , you 'd have a lot of questions . like how did survivors of previous accidents like this fare ? you know , was the fence at the malibu house built to code ? would the homeowner be held responsible for this ? i mean , no offense intended , but you guys sound like a bunch of people with a secret . mr. forrester , could somebody be angry enough at your son to help him off the cliff ?	brooke tells hope that thomas knows she would never purposely hurt him so they will wait until he wakes up and tells them all so . liam walks up and says hope was in danger . he does not believe he was apologizing . but there is no guarantee what he will say now . there is no being safe around thomas . he wonders if he really is unconscious now or just does not want to face the music . the doctor does not know who he is dealing with ; they do . he goes in to see thomas and says he wonders how many broken bones he has .he bets radiology is still counting them . he asks thomas if he can hear him . guess if he had done all that thomas did he would not want to wake up either . first he chases emma off mulholland drive and then karma throws him off the cliff . he just hopes the law is not through with him yet . and how he even survived his death would have been a big tragedy to a lot of people but he is not one of them . brooke tells hope she knows there is no love lost between liam and thomas but she guesses it is no worse for him being in there than just waiting outside here . ridge walks in but liam does not see him and ridge listens while liam bends closer to thomas . ridge says that must make liam feel very powerful when thomas can not defend himself against trash - talk . liam says he knows thomas is not going to pay . ridge and his money will see to that . ridge opines that liam should not even be in here . ridge says he is very sorry for what thomas tried to do to him but he will suffer the consequences as he will only let him fall so far . he tells liam that he could not possibly understand as he has never loved anyone deeply enough to stand by them and support them or forgive them for something as awful as thomas did to him . brooke tells ridge she is sorry for what she said . he says they can drop it then changes his mind and says she wants to call thomas violent . she says again she is sorry but there is an unstoppable time when you feel your child is being threatened and she stepped in . she tells him she would like to go in and sit with thomas for a minute . he says okay , perhaps he will respond to her .
brooke : mm . well , this is certainly a nice welcome home . ridge : i figured you could use a little stress relief . brooke : after my confrontation with hector ? ridge : sorry you had to be there for that . brooke : but you 're not sorry it happened , right ? you think rick had it coming . ridge : not the getting run over part , no . brooke : no , but hector getting on his case . ridge : it 's nothing i have n't done , given a similar circumstance . brooke : are you comparing rick and caitlin to thomas and amber ? ridge : mm - hmm . brooke : they 're nothing alike . rick really cares about caitlin . ridge : well , then , he should know better and do the right thing , and stay away from her until she 's 18 . brooke : by which time , you 're hoping that she 'll be with thomas , right ? ridge : why are we talking about this , huh ? in fact , why are we even talking , at all ? did you miss me ? a little bit ? brooke : mm , a little . ridge : just a little ? brooke : just a little . ridge : just a little . come here . stephanie : oh , for god 's sakes . brooke : oh , for god 's sakes , stephanie ! stephanie : lord , did i miss this ? no . ridge : well , i missed my wife , so if you do n't mind -- stephanie : this 'll just take a moment . ridge : mother , what do you want ? stephanie : i want to know about the conversation with your brother . ridge : you sure ? it was n't very pretty . stephanie : you did n't antagonize him , did you ? ridge : no , but i did try to get through to him , and he was n't hearing it . he 's hell - bent on bringing us down . deacon : guess now all i need is you . jackie : the last time i saw you , you threw divorce papers in my face . and now you 're saying that you want me back ? massimo : there are movers at the penthouse as we speak . jackie : there are ? massimo : mm - hmm . they 'll bring your belongings here in the morning -- unless , of course , you need something in the meantime . jackie : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . we have to talk about this . massimo : fine . we 'll talk about it at dinner . i 've asked the chef to prepare your favorite dish . jackie : which is ? massimo : seafood cacciucco . and if it is n't , it soon will be . jacqueline , i know what you 're thinking . i was hard on you . jackie : oh , massimo , massimo , stop . we have n't spoken in weeks . massimo : i thought we both needed this time . jackie : oh , well , that i agree with . i have discovered things about myself . i have discovered what i need to make me happy . massimo : to be here in this house , in this home , as my wife . jackie : i ca n't deny that i 've missed my family terribly . nicky still wo n't return my calls . massimo : he was very deeply hurt , jacqueline . you can understand that . jackie : i know , i know , i know . of course i understand it . i 'm sorry for everything that i put you all through -- massimo : look , jacqueline -- i do n't want to dredge all of this again . jackie : well , we ca n't sit down for dinner as though none of this ever happened . at least i ca n't . nick : even if i caught the fish ? jackie : nicky . nick : hello , mother . welcome home . stephanie : thorne wants to bring us down ? ridge : those were n't his exact words , but that 's the general idea . stephanie : i guess i 'm not surprised . considering how he feels . ridge : oh , right . right . cheated and overlooked his entire life . poor baby . stephanie : no one expects you to understand . ridge : i do understand , mother . i can even sympathize , up to a point . but when a guy starts attacking his own family , that 's where my sympathy ends . he just wants attention . do n't reward that kind of behavior by giving it to him . he 's just gon na lash out at all of us forever . stephanie : so you want me to ignore my son ? ridge : you ca n't give him what he really needs . stephanie : oh , i hate to ask what that means . ridge : he needs a good thrashing . he needs some hard knocks . you know ? come on , let 's face it . this guy 's had a pretty cushy life , your `` cruel neglect `` notwithstanding . he does n't appreciate what this family 's done for him , mother . he thinks he can go out there and make a go of it on his own ? fine , let him do it . we both know he 's not going to accomplish a thing at spectra . stephanie : i 'm sure you pointed out to him , did n't you ? ridge : oh , you 're damn right i did . stephanie : i wish you had n't . ridge : mother , he 's not listening to any of us . so i suggest we just leave him alone , let him figure it out on his own . and eventually , he 'll see that this silly vendetta is absolutely pointless . jackie : nicky ! i do n't believe this . did you -- massimo : no . no , no , no , no -- he wants to be with his family . nick : you know , mother , i learned through a new friend that life can be very short . i do n't want to hold grudges . jackie : you mean that you 've forgiven me ? nick : i want you back in my life . in our lives . jackie : oh , nicky . nicky ! nick : let 's not make a big deal out of it , okay ? jackie : it is a big deal ! if you knew how much i regretted -- i mean , there has not been a that day has gone by when i -- nick : i know . jackie : have not thought of that pain i 've cause you ! everything that i -- nick : i know . i know . the 140 messages is a good indicator , mother . jackie : darling , you wo n't be sorry . if you give me this second chance , you just wo n't be . nick : i know we wo n't . we 've talked a lot about it . mother , we realize you never meant to hurt us . jackie : of course not . but nicky , so much has happened . i -- massimo : i want to put all of that behind us . for the sake of the family . nick : and that you love her . massimo : yes . of course . i do love you , jacqueline . nick : this fish is getting cold . let 's eat . mother ? is there a problem ? jackie : no . no , there 's no problem . nick : well , i have really missed hanging out with you crazy cats . [ nick laughs ] a little wine there , pops ? massimo : yes , please . nick : all right . stephanie : thorne ? what 's going on ?

[ brooke sighs ] brooke : oh , bridget . i thought we 'd put that behind us . bridget : because i forgave you , mother . and then you start spending a lot more time with nick -- brooke : because of hope . she was in the hospital . she almost died ! bridget : i know , but of course , you should understand why i might go back to deacon again when it comes to hope . and you were spending so much time together at the hospital . i was watching you when you did n't know . i could n't -- i just could n't -- i could n't go through that pain again . not with nick . i mean , mom , not with you . you 're my anchor ! you 're my soul mate . i just could n't do it . i could n't do it , not this time . 'cause this time , i would have to explain why daddy does n't love mommy anymore , and why he loves grandma instead . you can understand why that would put me over the edge . please , tell me that you understand . yes , what i did was incredibly stupid . i 've admitted to that . i should have never done it , but i did it to protect my baby . do n't you see that ? but you both , you came through for me . i 'm not controlled by my fears anymore , mom . i do n't have those insecurities . i 'm -- i 'm through that dark place . i 'm okay . so if you would just -- baby , just hold me and tell me that you still love me . honey , nothing has to change . nick ? nick : things have changed , more than you realize .

[ scene_break ] jackie : i just do n't understand . i mean , how could bridget do this ? nicky would have stood by her . he would never have allowed her to get rid of that child , no matter what he feels for brooke . eric : i think bridget realized that , which is why she made the only decision that she felt she could make . she wanted to -- she wanted to give nick and brooke the freedom to be together . [ jackie scoffs ] which is what i assume they 're doing right now -- planning a -- planning a future together . jackie : nick and brooke ? eric : yeah . i spoke to brooke earlier . she says that nick -- nick is the man that she 's been searching for all her life . i 've heard those words before . but watching brooke , listening to her pour her heart out about how much she loves nick , i do n't think i 've ever seen brooke so in love . [ scene_break ] bridget : what do you mean ? what things have changed ? brooke : nick -- bridget : it 's only been a couple of days . nothing changes that fast . nick : bridget , you said you saw something , a connection between me and your mother . bridget : i did . you admitted to it as well . but you confronted those feelings , you were honest with each other and with me . nick : we should have been honest sooner . bridget : honey , that does n't matter . i -- i understand everything much better now . nick : i do n't think so . bridget : baby , i just was n't thinking . i mean , of course you would feel responsible for losing the baby , too . i -- i 'm so sorry . i just -- i was n't thinking through everything . but thank god it turned out the way that it did . it could have been so much worse . brooke : i ca n't imagine it being any worse . bridget : you ca n't imagine ? mom , i did n't go through with the abortion . do n't you think that would have been worse ? brooke : yes , of course , honey . bridget : okay , okay , i -- i 've acted impulsively . i was incredibly selfish and very immature . i 'm sorry . i just -- i thought i would get a little more understanding from both of you . maybe i was really naive . my goodness , just yell at me ! tell me you 're furious . just do something ! i ca n't take you two just standing there looking at me like that . was what i did that unforgivable ? nick : bridget , you made a decision . you said and did some things that made me look at my life . well , i 've made a decision , too . your mother and i , we 've both made some decisions . [ scene_break ] jackie : it 's so strange . i mean , for the longest time , i thought that nick and brooke were meant to be together . i thought if i heard that they were together , i 'd be -- elated . but now , poor bridget . the pain she must be in . eric : yeah . she 's lost the child -- a choice i do n't think i 'm ever going to completely understand . and now , she 's going to have to watch the man she loves make a life with her own mother .

[ scene_break ] thorne : hope is with liam at bill spencer 's office . it seems that , uh , liam thinks that spencer could be his father . stephanie : ( laughs ) this just gets stranger and stranger by the minute . ridge : do n't you think it 's a little odd that liam targets two of the most famous families in los angeles ? first he comes after me , then spencer , and now you . stephanie : i think the boy is looking for something , but it 's more than just a father . ridge : he could be looking for a payoff , thorne . we just had a major scandal happen , and he was definitely involved in it . thorne : i ca n't think about any of that right now . stephanie : well , we 're just cautioning you to be wary of him . thorne : i understand , mother , but there 's a very real chance that i could be this kid 's father , and if i am , i need to know that . stephanie : are you sure you want to go through with this ? i mean , if this boy turns out to be legitimate ... i mean , this will change your whole life , honey . thorne : i know . i know that . but i need to find out for myself and for liam . i mean , this kid deserves to know who his father is after all these years . ridge : do you want us to go to the hospital with you ? thorne : no . i need to handle this on my own . [ scene_break ] bill : this is a waste of time . liam : do you ever stop talking ? bill : do you have a flyswatter ? he 's like a gnat . liam : oh , i 'm like a gnat . yeah . katie : can we please just keep this civil ? bill : look at this . i mean , look at him . he 's got ta be thorne 's kid -- fair- haired , milky complexion , looks like a doll . did you even hit puberty yet ? liam : hey , look , mr . sword - necklace - man , i do n't want to be here either , much less be here with you . bill : come on . cut the bull . you would kill to be my son . liam : what ? why -- why would i want that ? bill : well , for one , because i 'm me . katie : ( sighs ) bill : two , i have more money than god . liam : yeah , i do n't care about money . bill : again ? liam : i do n't care about money . bill : ( laughs ) okay , that 's it . done deal . no way in hell this is my kid . doctor : hello , everyone . sorry to keep you waiting . i 'm dr. steele . i assume you two are the potential father and son . bill and liam : no . dr. steele : so you two are n't the potential father and son ? hope : no , they are . katie : they 're just not real excited at the prospect of being related . bill : ( sighs ) dr. steele : ah , i see . well , paternity tests can be quite stressful . liam : ( scoffs ) dr. steele : though i must say , the relationship between a father and son can be a very beautiful thing . thorne : sorry i 'm late . i got here as fast as i could . i 'm thorne forrester . dr. steele : dr. steele . nice to meet you . uh , where do you fit into this equation ? thorne : i need a blood test , too . bill : why do n't i save us all a bunch of time by doing a test of my own ? katie : this is n't going to involve kung fu , is it ? bill : a homeless man comes up to you in the street and asks for money . what do you do ? thorne : you help him out . liam : yeah , give him a buck or two . bill : no , you morons . you give him nothing , zilch . katie : ( sighs ) bill : zero . he 's just gon na use it to buy drugs or alcohol . people like you perpetuate our problems . you see ? he 's too soft . these are a match made in heaven . katie : ( sighs ) thorne : could i talk to you outside for a minute ? liam : yeah , no problem . bill : let the father - son bonding begin . katie : ( chuckles ) ridge : bill spencer 's the possible father . how wild is that ? stephanie : that poor kid . ridge : well , for liam 's sake , i hope that bill spencer is not his father . bill : i am not liam 's father . h - he 's a dead ringer for forrester . now let 's get out of here . katie : listen , you were involved with his mother . you need to know if he 's your son , and he has a right to know if you 're his father . bill : katie , he is not a spencer , all right ? he 's soft . he -- he -- he 's a computer geek . he 's probably a - a `` dungeons & dragons `` fanatic . we have nothing in common . i mean , even if he were my son , i would n't know what to do with him . katie : well , and i think that 's the point , is n't it ? you 're afraid . you 're afraid of failing as a father . you do n't know how to deal with your son . bill : do n't call that nerd my son . katie : you slept with his mother . bill : yes . and she sent him to forrester creations to find his father , not spencer publications . why would she do that , to send her own kid on a scavenger hunt ? no . because his father is a forrester , not a spencer . i mean , come on . i mean , it is so obvious . that is thorne 's kid . [ scene_break ] liam : so , uh ... ( laughs ) how did you know my mom ? thorne : your mother was a fit model for forrester years ago . i knew there was something very special about her the first time i saw her . liam : so you -- i take it you guys dated , or ... thorne : yeah , right when she got to l.a. we , uh , we got to know each other pretty well . i cared about your mother . she was a , uh , very beautiful , wonderful woman . liam : yeah , she was . thorne : i 'm sorry for your loss . liam : thank you . thorne : it must have been very difficult losing your mother . liam : yeah , well , she -- i mean , she was sick for a while . and -- and i - i did my best to take care of her , but in the end , it got ... it got rough . thorne : yeah . liam : she , um ... she suffered a lot . thorne : well , she was very lucky to have such a loving son . liam : thank you . hey , you want to know what bill said about my mother dying ? ( chuckles ) he said , `` everybody 's mother dies . get over it . `` thorne : yeah , well , that 's spencer . he does n't have a caring bone in his body . liam : yeah , i figured that out right away . well , uh , hope has been amazing to me . hope : ( chuckles ) i just -- well , i just think everyone needs someone to lean on . you know , that 's why i 'm here . thorne : listen , there 's something you should know . i have a daughter , alexandria . her mom passed away a few years ago . liam : oh , my god . i 'm so sorry . thorne : well , it 's just me and ally now , and she 's an amazing kid . but i , um , i 'd be very proud to have a son in our family , too . liam : i , um , i would like that . hey , i 'm really sorry that i just -- i just assumed it was ridge . i do n't know why i did that . thorne : no . liam : it was crazy . i -- thorne : ( chuckles ) liam : but , um , i mean , it really could be you . would n't that be something ? thorne : well , alexandria 's my greatest joy in the world . but i 've always wanted a son . you know , you could be a big brother to ally . that 's if i , uh , turn out to be your dad . liam : yeah . hope : yeah . liam : well , i guess , um , we 're gon na find out .

[ scene_break ] bill : the minute hope gets back , i want to set up a big photo shoot . liam : what -- what are doing ? what is he doing ? katie : i think he 's planning an ambush . justin : look , he 's just excited . i do n't know if you know this or not , but your father , he 's a big sucker for romance . donna : ( scoffs ) liam : dad -- dad , i do not want my engagement turned into a media circus katie : too late bill : uh , i - i - i 'm gon na get -- get back to you . well , what do you -- what are you talking about ? you 're -- you 're the one who got engaged at the end of the runway -- you know , sweet move , by the way . katie : yeah , i guess , thanks to you , hope 's message is reaching a lot of people . donna : i thought it was beautiful , you know , not giving into stereotypes , making your own choices . katie : you 're marrying an extraordinary woman . bill : it 's becoming a spencer family tradition , is n't it ? katie : hmm . bill : you know , maybe that 's what we need do , a - a whole family photo shoot . i like that . liam : um , dad , i - i - i did not propose to hope to sell magazines . bill : we 're not just talking about magazines . do you know how many web hits this thing has got ? i mean , they -- they are soaring , and the closer we get to the date , the more hits there are gon na be by the way , i need that date as soon as possible . we 're gon na hype the hell out of this thing ... katie : uh ... bill : not to mention the sponsorship -- we 're gon na get a lot of sponsorship . katie : bill ... ( laughs ) it 's your son 's wedding . come on . bill : i know it 's my son 's wedding , and it 's gon na be great . liam : oh . bill : i 'm so proud of you . it 's gon na be great . you know what ? you and your beautiful bride are gon na set the fashion world on its ear . [ scene_break ] hope : i 'm not sure about the neckline . can we just raise it up like -- like an inch ? thomas : whoa , you want to bring it up ? hope : yeah . i mean , i think the lines are so soft and romantic , and -- and the neckline is just -- it 's grabbing , like , all the attention . eric : i see what you mean . hope : yeah ? eric : we 'll fix it . hope : okay . ridge : thank you , ladies . that 's all for today . eric : thanks . hope : thank you . thomas : bye , ladies . marcus : so next on the agenda , i got a peek at the new intimates campaign this morning . ridge : before we get into that , we need to discuss hope 's trip . hope : mm , what trip ? ridge : we 're sending you to paris . hope : what ? when ? eric : as soon as the pilot can file a flight plan . hope : really ? i - i - i just got engaged . ridge : that 's why it 's important that you go over now . the european press is going wild over liam 's proposal . we have to take advantage and , uh , use the spotlight for our collection . you do want to get your message out there , right ? hope : yeah . eric : it 's the perfect opportunity . ridge : too good to pass up . thomas : yeah , let 's hope our new spots for the intimates collection will generate just as much buzz . ridge : madison , tell oliver we 're ready . we 're gon na push steffy 's new line . we 're going after a big media buy here . we 're gon na flood the print , the cable , the web with our new collection . eric : wait . steffy 's not gon na do the presentation ? ridge : no , oliver is taking care of it . he 's done it all . oliver : as you know , the name of the line has changed . steffy felt intimates better expressed the scope and the feel of the collection . eric : mm - hmm . oliver : to highlight that change , we 've really pushed that idea of intimacy .

[ scene_break ] liam : well , that was nice of them to bring breakfast . bill : when do you expect hope back ? liam : uh , i do n't know . bill : what did she say when she left this morning ? liam : actually , dad , i do n't , um , i do n't think we 're gon na be up for a photo shoot today . bill : yeah , pretty worn out from last night , huh ? liam : yeah , you -- you could say that . bill : well , you only get engaged once , right ? you two should spend the day together , unplug the phone . liam : yeah , and bar the door ? bill : if you have to . you went through a hell of a lot to get to this point . you two deserve a day to celebrate . and i 'm sure last night was great , but -- liam : actually , dad , um ... it was n't . [ scene_break ] bill : you know , i just assumed that you and hope came back here after the proposal and -- liam : no , we did . we did . and -- and then she went home . she wants to wait . bill : for what ? you proposed . liam : the wedding . bill : the wedding ? wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . wait , you mean the honeymoon night ? liam : ( scoffs ) yeah . bill : wow . liam : yeah . bill : okay , uh , i am going to have the jet fueled up and file a flight plan for vegas . liam : thank -- thank you . thank you . i think , at this point , i 'm just gon na have to be patient . bill : wow . uh ... well , i - i - i 'm sorry , kid . uh ... you know , i - i - i do n't know what to tell you . i - i feel for you , but i - i 've never had this problem .

[ scene_break ] eric : well , it 's an exciting time in hope 's life . thomas : forrester , too . thorne : well , thanks to hope for the future , our demographic is becoming younger . marcus : and thanks to the intimates line , it 's also getting hotter . oliver : i predict it 's gon na be a big seller . thorne : hope and steffy 's campaigns could not be more different . eric : well , maybe that will keep them from being so competitive with one another . ridge : i would n't count on that one . [ scene_break ] steffy : seriously , mom , what 's gon na change when hope and liam get marred ? what 's gon na be different ? taylor : that 's -- that 's kind of a personal thing to be speculating on . steffy : well , do you think hope 's making a good choice ? do you think she 's doing the right thing by waiting ? taylor : i can give you a better answer if you let me know why this is important to you . steffy : well , liam is important to me . you know , i - i hate what this is doing to him . you know what ? i saw him last night at bikini . he was a mess . you know , he has every right to be happy , but he 's just putting up with this because this is what hope wants . but he should think about what he wants . mom , you 're a psychiatrist . do you think it 's fair for a single man to wait till marriage ? taylor : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] liam : so how was your meeting ? hope : ( sighs ) too long . liam : i agree . hope : mm - hmm . yeah . but it was worth it , though . liam : yeah , good news ? hope : yeah ! my collection 's a hit ! liam : ( blows raspberry ) no surprise there . hope : well , okay , actually , your proposal was a hit . liam : ( scoffs ) hope : apparently , it 's got the fashion world talking . liam : uh ... yeah . tell me about it . my dad came over . he thinks we need to capitalize on the publicity . hope : so does my family , um ... which is why ... ( inhales sharply ) they 're sending me to paris . liam : what ? when ? hope : um , like , right away . it wo n't be long . it really wo n't . and then when i get back , we can start planning the wedding . oh , and i asked eric if we could have it at the forrester estate , and he said yes . i told him we want to do it really soon . liam : oh , yeah , like , next week soon or -- hope : ( scoffs ) yeah , yeah . next week . no , i - i - i 'm really gon na rush , but i think that i can put it all together in , like , three months . [ scene_break ] taylor : marriage is about more than a sexual commitment . many couples decide to wait until after the wedding . steffy : no , but they did n't decide as a couple . hope decided . it was her decision . taylor : i 'm very aware that hope probably has a lot of issues after everything that she 's been through and the way she grew up , but i - i do n't know that she 's using this to be manipulative . steffy : well , what else could it be ? why would she deny herself and the man she -- she 's crazy about ? taylor : because for some people , marriage is seen as very sacred . maybe this is hope 's way of trying to set herself apart . steffy : she rejected the man she says she loves . you know , he 's this great guy who would do anything for her . you know , if she wants to think this marriage is real , then why make him wait ? unless , of course , this is a test to see if he 'll behave , to see if she can control him . taylor : so you really think this is more of like a control issue ? steffy : for his sake , i hope i 'm wrong , but i do n't believe i am . taylor : well , i personally think it 's very honorable for two people to decide to wait , but that 's exactly the way it has to be . it has to be both of their decision . otherwise , it could be a sign of a future problem . [ scene_break ] liam : three months . okay . hope : ( sighs ) i know . it seems like a really long time , but it 's not . liam : ( sighs ) hope : it 's really not , especially when you 're planning a wedding . liam : no , i know . a week feels like a long time . hope : mm . liam : when are you leaving ? hope : ( inhales sharply ) as soon as i can get to the airport . it 's fast . i know . it 's really fast . i know . and i - i know that last night did n't end the way you wanted it to . and i know we 've been busy all day , and honestly , i - i 'd really just like to spend all day with you . liam : mm ! i want that , too . hope : ( squeals ) liam : do n't go . hope : ( inhales sharply ) ( sighs ) liam : do n't go . do n't go . do n't go . do n't go . do n't go . do n't go . hope : mm , i have to . liam : do n't go . hope : ( sighs ) liam : you do n't , you know . i mean , you just sort of think that 's what everyone expects of you . i mean , of course , hope for the future -- there you are standing in the spotlight , showing millions of women how to respect themselves . it 's a beautiful , beautiful message , hope . but you are not your collection . hope : i know . but , liam , i - i - i thought you understood . liam : i do . i ... when i say that i want to be with you , i 'm talking about a kind of connection . i 'm talking about you sharing with me ... hope : mm . liam : something that you have n't shared with anyone else . i want to be able to love you in a way that you 've never been loved . hope : ( sighs ) i 'll be back really soon , okay ? and then i will start planning the wedding as fast as i can . liam : well , that 's what i 'm saying . i do n't -- i do n't want you to . i - i do n't want you to rush planning the wedding . i want you to the have the wedding of your dreams . i - i want the honeymoon to be just as incredible as you 've imagined it to be . but my question ... why ca n't today be incredible , too ? hope : liam ... do you think that i 'm not feeling everything that you 're feeling ? because i am , every bit of it . liam : good -- okay . oh , that 's okay . then that 's what i 'm saying . i mean , why ... what is it exactly that we 're waiting for ? because we 're young . we 're in love . we 're engaged . we are about to spend the rest of our lives together . and why are n't we living this life to the fullest ? why wo n't you let me show you ... hope : ( sighs ) liam : my love for you ... right now ?	at forrester 's , everyone congratulates hope as the new `` woman `` . eric tells her the reviews are sensational . hope wants to talk about the wedding and even invites herself to have it at eric 's house . ridge surprises hope by telling her they are sending her on a trip to paris . the european press is going crazy , and she will want to get her message out there . this will be perfect . oliver shows them a hot video of steffy for her new line , intimacy . liam is embarrassed to explain to bill , justin and donna that hope did not spend the night at his house ; she is at work today . and he makes it clear to bill that he does n't want this engagement to turn into a media circus . steffy grouses to taylor that she is not going to work today as they will all be fawning over hope . she feels sorry for liam though . yes , taylor knows all about that .that hope changed her mind and did not spend the night with liam . she hopes steffy will not take this as a sign to pursue another man that is not interested in her .
( hope having flashbacks ) rick : you know that he 's not telling you the whole story . did he open up completely about what happened in italy ? no . if you had n't gone and seen it for yourself , you would have never known what happened in that hotel room . liam : i feel terrible . i 'm really sorry . i mean , it 's just -- i -- you know , i 'm -- i 'm there , and -- and you were n't around , so ... hope : but steffy was . familiar . liam : i ... may have ... went out with her the night before , too . i 'm sorry . it 's just that i promised to be honest with you , and hey , you know , i am -- i 'm sticking to that . uh , but -- but we did n't cross a line . i mean , it 's not like we were kissing or anything . rick : and they made out in the corner of the club , and they went upstairs to a cabana . ( present time ) hope : ( sighs ) thomas : you know , you 're not supposed to be thinking about liam . hope : i was n't . okay , maybe a little . thomas : well , do n't make me break my promise to rick . he 's expecting me to keep liam off your mind . hope : it 's not going to be easy . ( chuckles ) thomas : i 'm up for the challenge . hope : thank you , but , um , i 'll be all right . you have better things to do . thomas : no . no , no . i am right where i need to be . [ scene_break ] steffy : let me see . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : well , at least the hair dye washed out . liam : yeah , and the tattoo . steffy : yes . yes , it 's gone . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : i kinda miss it . liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : yeah , it 's too bad hope scheduled the wedding so early in the day . i mean , if she were just seeing you now -- liam : she still would have left me . i mean , steffy , it was n't about how i looked . the night before my wedding , and i 'm going out with another woman , with you . i was wrong . and now she 's gone . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : so dr. caspary says everything is going well with you ? katie : yeah , so far so good . i mean , i guess my blood pressure was a little elevated , but that 's not surprising , since my appointment was right after i laid into liam ... brooke : oh , my gosh . honey , you 've got ta be careful . katie : ( sighs ) i know . it 's just that i 'm so disappointed in him . any updates ? brooke : i do n't want your stress level to get up any higher . katie : no . no . come on . i 'm fine . what 's going on ? brooke : hope told liam it 's over . katie : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : i know this is difficult . you want to reach out . it 's in your nature to forgive . but how many times ? liam 's probably with my sister right now . he says he wants to marry you , but then he goes right to her . hope : i know . i know . and that is why this has to end , because i am not putting up with his divided feelings anymore . i have too much self - respect . thomas : good . i 'm glad to hear it . hope : i mean , you 're right , it 's -- it 's not going to be easy . just thinking about seeing them together or even , you know , running into him -- i -- oh , god , i 'm -- i 'm dreading going over there to pick up my stuff . if he 's there , what are we gon na say ? thomas : i 'll go with you . it 's fine . hope : no . thank you , but no . that 's -- thomas : no , seriously , let 's do it right now . hope : now ? thomas : yeah . why not ? hope : i do n't -- i do n't know . it ju -- it seems so soon . thomas : what ? is there a chance you might get back with him ? hope : ( scoffs ) not if he ca n't change the way he feels about steffy or undo everything he 's done . thomas : well , the sooner , the better . i 'm helping you get your stuff out of there ... tonight . [ scene_break ] steffy : i 'm really sorry . liam : ( scoffs ) it 's not your fault . i made the decision . i keep making it , actually . just turning to you every single time i need somebody . steffy : yeah ... but why is that so wrong ? liam : you know . you -- you feel it , too . you feel the connection that we have . steffy : yeah , i do . liam : well -- steffy : but we do n't act on it . not counting italy , okay ? but once we knew the truth ... liam : ( sighs ) steffy : and the two of you said your vows , you have been faithful . and she knows that . liam : i - i do n't know . i guess it does n't matter now . she 's had enough , so ... steffy : you know what i think we should do ? liam : hmm ? steffy : we should pop in one of your bob hope tapes and forget about everything that happened today and just turn off our minds and laugh . liam : and eat . are you hungry ? steffy : i 'm starving . liam : yeah , me , too . i do n't -- i do n't think i have anything here . steffy : you know what ? i can -- i can pick something up . do you still like that pesto pizza from down the road ? liam : yeah . but , i mean , you do n't have to go do that . steffy : no , it 's fine . just relax . crack open a beer . and , uh , i 'll be right back . oh , actually , can i take your car ? my bike 's in venice . liam : yeah . steffy : do n't start the movie without me . ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) okay , good , his car 's not here . thomas : yeah . liam 's probably still at the club . what ? not funny ? well , just think about all the great tattoos he 's gettin . hope : ( scoffs ) i hope he wakes up in the morning with a really horrible haircut ... thomas : hey , that 's the spirit . hope : or something . thomas : you 're gettin ' it . are you sure we have enough boxes ? hope : yeah . i do n't have much to pack . thomas : you ready ? hope : ready . thomas : after you . [ scene_break ] katie : let 's call hope . brooke : no . i do n't want to overwhelm her . i left her a message . she 'll call me when she 's ready . katie : i just want to hear it from her why she feels like she has to do this . i mean , i know she 's hurt , and liam 's behavior was awful , but she 's forgiven him for worse . brooke : i know . that 's why i keep wondering about this . hope and liam have been the victims of manipulations for a long time , and i ca n't help think that maybe steffy is doing something or maybe somebody else . katie : somebody like bill ? brooke : well , it 's possible . hope is really in love with liam , and i do n't understand why she would break it off like this . katie : i guess it does seem odd . brooke : yeah , it does . it does seem very , very odd . i mean , they 've both made mistakes , but they 've managed to get past it all , and now suddenly something like this makes them break up ? i do n't get it . katie : well , hope has every right to be angry . i mean , i 'm angry . brooke : i 'm angry , too . it was a stupid thing that liam did . but still , is it really that unforgivable ? katie : okay , let 's say that somebody else is involved , someone is manipulating hope to get her to break up with liam . what could they possibly say to her ? rick : hey . katie : hey . rick : what are you talking about ? brooke : hope and liam ... ( sighs ) and wondering if there 's more to this breakup . katie : since someone always seems to be meddling in their relationship . [ scene_break ] hope : that 's weird . he left all the lights on . thomas : yeah . i guess liam left in a hurry . hope : ( sighs ) maybe he 's coming right back . thomas : maybe . you want me to call steffy , see if they 're nearby ? hope : no . no . let 's just get this over with . thomas : you okay ? hope : ( exhales ) it 's just ... you know , this was supposed to be my wedding night . i should have been walking through those doors with liam , coming home , finally married , and instead , i 'm packing up my stuff . liam : hope ? what are you doing -- hope : uh , i 'm ... i 'm just getting my things . liam : thomas . thomas : liam . hope : he just came to help . liam : yeah . i - i can see . ( chuckles ) thomas : sorry . we just did n't know you were here . liam : no , it 's -- it 's okay . do you need me to leave or ... hope : no . um ... liam : ( sighs ) hope : no . i mean , it -- it 's fine . uh , i guess we should get started . thomas : yeah . liam : listen , listen ... you know you do n't have to do this . hope : i do . i 'm sorry . i love you , liam , but i do . [ scene_break ] rick : it seems pretty clear to me . the jerk got hammered with steffy last night , hope had enough , kicked him to the curb . katie : ( chuckles ) brooke : rick . rick : am i wrong ? katie : look , we all agree that liam made a colossal error in judgment , but hope still loves him , and he loves her . brooke : with a good fight and a change in attitude from liam , they could still go on and plan their wedding . but instead , hope breaks up with him . i mean , it just does n't seem like it has to be that way . rick : i do n't know . i 'm not convinced that they 're meant for each other . brooke : how can you say that ? they fought so hard to be together . rick : exactly . should it be that difficult ? look , i know that it 's bill 's son . you 're kind of obligated to like the guy , but the fact is he made hope 's life miserable . katie : no . no , steffy has made hope 's life miserable . not liam . rick : they both did . i think he 's more suited for steffy . katie : ( scoffs ) brooke : n - no . ( scoffs ) rick : after partying with her the night before the wedding because hope missed , uh , his little dinner ? i mean , come on . is he that starved for female attention that he ca n't be home alone for one night ? no . no excuse . if anybody 's being manipulating , it 's liam . he 's been so unfair to hope ... brooke : ( sighs ) rick : jumping at any chance to run off with steffy . i 'm glad hope told him enough . you must see that this is what 's best for her . [ scene_break ] thomas : is this the rest of it ? hope : i think so . uh , yeah , everything on that dresser . thomas : all right , well , it should fit in that last box . i can start loading the car . hope : okay . liam : do you want some help ? hope : no . thomas : no . no , we got it covered , liam . liam : um , um , these -- these are yours . hope : oh , thanks . liam : yeah . hope : um , i 'm probably forgetting more . i do n't know . liam : yeah , i 'll just -- if i find any more , you know , i 'll call you . hope : no , no . just , um , you know , let my aunt katie know . liam : okay . yeah . ( exhales ) so we 're not even talking on the phone now ? hope : please , liam , this is hard enough as it is . steffy : ( groans ) pizza delivery . oh . hello . all right , good thing i got a large . hope : look , i 'm almost done here , so , um , i 'll be out of your way very soon . steffy : thomas , you know , maybe we should give them a moment . hope : god , how do you do that ? how do you pretend to care about our relationship ? steffy : because i care about liam . hope : really ? if that were true , you would have stayed away from him last night . you would have respected his decision to be with me . it is just the same thing over and over and over from you . thomas : hope , do n't . hey , it 's not worth it , okay ? let 's just finish what we came here to do . hope : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] brooke : you know i do n't want hope to be with somebody that does n't make her happy . rick : yeah . katie : if they could just get other people out of their relationship , they would be fine . rick : yeah , but at some point , you have to realize it 's not working . brooke : i know , but she has n't even given him a chance yet . rick : she 's given him every chance . how many times have they tried to get married ? three ? ( chuckles ) it never happens . look , you can fret about it , you can worry that she 's making a mistake , or try to convince her to forgive him for the millionth time , or you can just be grateful that she 's strong enough to move on . hope is -- is -- is an amazing person . she 's got a lot to look forward to , a lot that does n't involve liam spencer . he does n't deserve her . we should all just be glad that she 's not hung up on him anymore .

bill : it 's okay , liam . i want you to listen very carefully to what i 'm about to say . i really hate when my shirts get wrinkled . so unless you want to take this to a whole nother level , which will end in you ironing my shirt , i suggest that you back the hell up and get out of my personal space . we 're new to this , uh ... father / son dance . you wo n't always like me ... but i am your father . and you will respect me . wyatt : well , i do n't respect you , because a real father does n't abandon his son . bill : and what do you know about being a father , or a man , for that matter ? wyatt : oh ! that 's right . i did n't have one around when i was growing up , so i guess i do n't know what that 's like . liam : dude , trust me -- you are about to regret doing this . wyatt : oh , i 'm already doing this .

[ sniffles ] you know , i should n't even be saying this to you ... 'cause i want you to be awake . i want you to hear the pain in my voice . i want you to wake up . wake up and prove us all wrong ! prove it to your son , because he needs you ! he already lost his mother , caroline , and now ... what happened , thomas ... over these past few months that just made you unravel ? was it caroline ? was it losing her ? because underneath it all , i do n't -- i do n't think -- i do n't think that 's you . so wake up . do n't do it for me . do it for your son . prove it to him . prove that you can be that man . he needs you . he needs his father . thomas ? thomas ? thomas ? can you hear me ? oh , my god . doctor ? doctor ? ! he 's waking up . ridge : what ? brooke : oh , thank god . liam : i - i 'll get the doctor . brooke : oh , my god . det . sanchez : you must be so relieved . brooke : yes . det . sanchez : i am , too . maybe now i can get some answers about how this ... accident actually happened . sally : you know , i kind of like this . wyatt : hmm ? sally : being pursued . wyatt : well , i mean , you did say that i 'd have to work for it , right ? sally : oh , yes , and , boy , did i mean it . you ca n't just say a bunch of pretty things and expect to sweet - talk your way back into my arms . wyatt : right . sally : did you book that spa weekend yet ? wyatt : oh , you were serious about that ? sally : uh , yeah . i did n't all it `` boot camp `` for nothing . wyatt : oh . sally : get on it . wyatt : oh , oka -- yeah . yeah . i mean , what 's your -- what 's next weekend looking like for you ? sally : uh , i do n't know . you tell me . maybe south of france ? fiji ? wyatt : for a weekend ? ! sally : uh , yeah . we are young and adventurous . the beaches of the world await . wyatt : yeah , as long as you do n't suggest that we sleep on one of those beaches , like you did when you first came back to malibu , huh ? sally : i was desperate , and i had nowhere else to go . wyatt : right . sally : seemed like a good option at the time . but then ... some very handsome man very kindly opened up his home . wyatt : y - you know , yeah , and , eventually , his heart . sally : okay . you know what ? now that i think about it , maybe getting away might be a bit much . wyatt : okay . sally : if we are exploring second chances , then maybe -- i do n't know -- maybe we spend the weekend in malibu ... back where it started . wyatt : wh - what are you -- what -- what are you saying ? sally : i 'm saying that i have been given a lot of second chances in my life , and i benefited greatly . so maybe ... it 's time for me to return the favor . you know , now would be a really good time to kiss the girl . wyatt : oh , yeah . uh , mm - hmm . sally : yeah . [ monitor beeping ] ridge : how are we looking , doc ? dr. armstrong : we 'll have to run a few new tests , but ... i 'm quite pleased . [ beeping continues ] thomas : dad . ridge : hey , son . welcome back . thomas : i , uh ... right . dr. armstrong : everyone , i know you 're all excited to see thomas , and , of course , you wish him well , but i do n't want to overwhelm him , okay ? so perhaps it 's best if his father stay with him for now . det . sanchez : actually , doctor , i have a few questions for him . then i 'll be on my way . dr. armstrong : alright , detective . [ beeping continues ] det . sanchez : hello , thomas . glad to see you 're awake . i 'm detective alex sanchez from the l.a.p.d . do you remember what happened ? do you know why you 're here in the hospital ? thomas : hospital ? ridge : he 's obviously not ready for this . doctor , come on . det . sanchez : yeah , the hospital . you fell . thomas , so you remember how you fell ? [ beeping continues ] ridge : you were over at steffy 's . you were outside with hope . something happened , and ... you fell off the cliff . det . sanchez : but , see , that 's the question . did you fall ? is that really what happened ? i mean , you were n't there alone . hope was there . brooke was there , too -- two women who were very angry with you , upset about what you did , your lies about beth . i mean , they 're saying it 's an accident . is that the truth ? was it an accident , thomas ? or did somebody deliberately try and kill you ?	ridge asks det . sanchez what is it he is looking for . he says answers . and since his son went over the cliff he would think he would want some too . he needs to know more about this fight and if thomas went by accident or did someone push him . wyatt talks to quinn and says things are not easy now and he is just trying to move on . quinn says she did not jump on the bandwagon earlier and condemn them but she has had time now to talk with shauna and she knows more details and she can not feel any pity for her or flo . wyatt says he understands as he feels that way too . she tells him that he needs time to breathe . it was only a few moments ago that he was planning a future with flo so it is not time for a rebound . he says sally 's secret was not the same . he does n't realize that sally is listening on the other side of a slightly door ajar . he has no right to expect she would take him back but she is his girl now . sally walks on in with a cheshire cat grin on her face . wyatt explains his mother is just leaving . the nurse tells hope there is no change in thomas but she can sit with him for a few minutes . she tells thomas that he is a parent so that is the part she can not understand . he knows what it feels like and yet he let her stay in agony and never said a word about beth . he admits she hates what he did .in fact she hates him ! she says she should not even be telling him this . she 'd like him to wake up and hear her voice and how she really feels now . she does not believe all of that stuff was him and he needs to wake up now for douglas 's sake and prove the others wrong . suddenly thomas makes a little noise and she runs to get the nurse . liam and brooke all run in with det . sanchez right behind . he tells brooke that she must be so relieved although he still has questions for her as to how this so - called accident happened .
eric : good , luis . thank you . did you get that , eva ? eva : yes , mr . forrester . eric : yeah , okay . ridge : so , dad , after we talked -- i decided to cover the bodice with the sequined fabric instead of the chiffon . eric : good , good . it makes more of a statement that way . although , i 'm not really sure about -- ridge : you do n't like the square sequins ? eric : no , i 'm not sure . maybe something like -- ridge : i got this covered . what i thought we 'd do is use the payette 's , just in case the fabric 's discontinued . eric : what 's so funny ? eva : you two , the way you 're so in synch . reading each other 's minds . ridge : well , we still make one hell of a team , do n't we ? eric : there you go . eva : best in the business . eric : well , everybody -- that 's all for today . thanks very much for your hard work . eva : thank you . ridge : eva , get those changes down to josh and we 'll be squared away . eva : i 'm on it . ridge : thank you . eric : it 's ironic , is n't it ? ridge : what 's that ? eric : what eva just said . that must be what thorne saw every time he came in here . the connection that you and i share . ridge : oh , for god 's sakes , dad . thorne 's trying to sink us here and you 're the one feeling guilty ? eric : he 's my son , ridge . ridge : yes , he is . and he also happened to be lucky enough to be born into a successful family . s spectra . i ca n't wait for him to fall on his face . you know what ? he 's not going to have us to blame for it , either . eric : is that what you said to him ? ridge : i know you 'd rather hear me apologize for being born , but it really would n't matter what i said . thorne 's dug his heels in over at spectra . he 's going to turn it into , let 's see , how 'd he put it -- `` the preeminent fashion house in los angeles . `` eric : thorne does n't really think that he can outdo forrester , does he ? ridge : practically guaranteed it . eric : well , your mother went over there to talk some sense into him . hopefully , she 'll have more success than we did . thorne : i mean it , mother . we 're finished here . stephanie : no , we 're not . thorne : yes , we are . i have a lot of work to do . stephanie : what , to try and destroy your family business ? thorne : you know , i 'm really getting tired of hearing that word . all you and dad do is shove `` family `` in my face . and then you turn around and treat me like i 'm not a part of it . stephanie : i know we made mistakes . thorne : but what ? it 's going to get better ? stephanie : yes . thorne : so if i come back to forrester , you 're going to reinstate me as president ? close the door on your way out . stephanie : i know you 're angry and you have every right to be . but do n't do this . honey , look -- suppose you and i and your father , and ridge if you want -- suppose we go to therapy . maybe we can work this all out . i just do n't want you to shut us out . thorne : i 'm only doing what was done to me . stephanie : does hurting me and hurting your father really make you feel better ? nick : hold it , hold it . wait a minute , wait a minute . felicia : what 's wrong ? nick : this is darts . it 's not the shot - put . this is a finesse game . it 's about the wrist -- i keep telling you -- the wrist has got to bend , you know . you got ta feel that thing -- flip it at the target over there , at the bulls -- felicia : what now ? nick : i 'm not going to go through all of this and find out that you 're the dart champion of the eastern hemisphere , am i ? felicia : no . but i have been known to play a mean game of `` pin the tail on the donkey . `` nick : well , i 'll make sure i do n't turn my back on you . keep your eye focused on the bull 's - eye . that 's the key here -- focus . you 've got to clear your head and concentrate , okay ? block everything else out around you . felicia : well , i 'm an expert on that . or at least , i was . nick : you 're talking about your doctor ? felicia : it just has n't sunk in yet . nick : you 're cancer free , kid . felicia : it just sounds so strange to hear you say that . nick : well , get used to it . you got a lot of livin ' to do . you 're a fearless tiger with her eye on the prize . and nothin 's going to keep you from getting what you want if you let it go . nick : we are going to be the team to beat at chuck 's . felicia : yes . so when am i going to get to see this haunt of yours ? nick : haunt ? my friends hang out there . just because it has peanut shells on the floor and smoke in the air and smells like stale beer -- haunt ? felicia : oh , that 's my kind of place . so why are n't we there now ? nick : because i promised you a wonderful romantic evening . you got a problem with my boat ? felicia : no , i actually happen to like the `` shady marlin . `` it has -- nick : dry rot ? felicia : no . character , like its owner . nick : hey , hey , hey . easy with the paddle there , huh ? felicia : i 'm almost tempted to think you use it for that . nick : why ? because i have a little bit of a weird sense of humor ? or because you do n't think that i can play it ? felicia : hmm , both . nick : well , here . classically trained . row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream nick : hmm ? felicia : wow . obviously , there 's a lot about you i do n't know . nick : well , stick around . felicia : well , i 'll let you know . i 'm used to pulling up stakes . nick : well , you 're not doing that anymore , remember ? felicia : you heard the doctor . i have years of tests ahead of me . nick : so what ? felicia : so , it 's not like i can -- you know , i 'm not out of the woods , yet . nick : you 're afraid , are n't you ? felicia : of dying ? nick : of living . ridge : dad , i really hate to shoot down your hopes here . eric : but ? ridge : but darla will win the nobel prize in physics before mother 's able to get through to thorne . eric : your mother has a way with thorne . ridge : not since you guys put the company back in my hands . eric : why ca n't he see that that 's in his best interests ? your mother and i gave the reins of this company back to you so that forrester could be at the top of its game , so that you and thorne could both have a future that you could count on . ridge : yeah , well in his mind , that future 's a lot brighter with him at the helm . eric : yeah . look , he 's a novice in the executive suite and he has an untrained eye for talent . that sort of thing has to be nurtured over time . ridge : oh , you heard him . he 's acting like he 's going to leave us in the dust . eric : well , he 's heading for a fall . not a damn thing i can do about it , either . i have to sit back and watch it happen . got to make it happen . ridge : what do you mean , `` make it happen ? `` eric : this collection of ours has to blow sally spectra and everything she has right out of the water . it has to leave them battered and bleeding . ridge : what , just to make thorne return to the fold ? eric : where he belongs , yeah . you disagree ? ridge : it 's one thing for a guy to want to make it on his own . it 's quite another to declare war on his own family . but , personally , i think -- once you cross that line , dad , there 's no coming back . stephanie : this is all so negative . thorne , whatever success that you have here -- if you do it at the expense of your family , are you going to actually be able to take pride in it ? thorne : i think so . stephanie : there 's not a vindictive bone in your body , thorne . i know you . and i know you understand what that company means to your father . it 's his life . he 's put his blood , his sweat , his tears -- i mean , it 's like a child to him . thorne : no , mother . i 'm his child . i am . not some corporation . stephanie : well , that corporation that you seem to dismiss so lightly has given you a career and given you a big paycheck , year in and year out . you do n't seem to appreciate that . thorne : appreciate ? by the time i left there , my self worth was so small i could n't find it anymore . so do n't tell me what an ingrate i was for walking away . or for what my standing up for myself is going to do for my father . because i 'm finished being the nice guy who comes in last , mother . do you hear me ? those days are dead and they 're gone . they 're gone . [ grunting ] stephanie : thorne , good guys do come in first . you know that . thorne : not at forrester . not as long as ridge is there . stephanie : why does it have to be either you or ridge ? thorne : because that 's the standards that you and dad set . that 's they way it 's always been and the way it always will be . stephanie : then give us another chance and let us make it right . thorne : no . stephanie : thorne , please -- thorne : i 'm not going to do it anymore , mother . all the concessions that i made ? `` you do n't mind being in the basement , do you , thorne ? `` `` congratulations , mr. president , but do as your brother tells you to do . `` i was nothing but a doormat for ridge . well , no more , mother . because , you see , i have a wife who believes in me and i have a daughter who deserves a father that she can be proud of and that she can respect and by god , she 's going to get it . because , you see , i have a gift that 's just as valuable as ridge 's , if not more valuable . i inspire loyalty . stephanie : i know you do . thorne : not to you and dad , of course . but i did inspire loyalty to everyone that i worked with at forrester , and i tell you what -- i 'm going to inspire that loyalty right here , and respect . and that 's what 's going to make the difference . that 's what 's going to take me to the top . stephanie : well , if it does , i hope it 's everything that you want it to be . thorne : `` if it does . `` well , that sums it all up . stephanie : i 'm sorry , i -- oh , thorne , you 're my sweet boy . thorne : i 'm not your boy anymore , mother . felicia : i know that 's what you think . nick : it 's nothing to be ashamed of , though . you know , i bet most people , at times in their life , are afraid of living . 'cause you got to put yourself out there , maybe get hurt , and it takes a lot of guts to jump into that ocean . felicia : especially when you never really learned to swim . nick : which is why they make life preservers . hmm ? you know , these things . felicia : mm - hmm . nick : gives you something to hold onto while your getting the hang of it . felicia : i 'm not ready for this . nick : yeah . sit down for a minute , will ya ? hmm ? you know , the other day , at that doctor 's office -- that was a big deal , you know ? and i got back to the boat , here , and i just wrote a little something i 'd like you to hear . i saw the soldier passing by the tear from my eye was for you i walked beside my grave it 's not time to stay too much to do there 's a voice inside that 's calling me to you we 've got one life so let 's take it 'cause we 're running out of time we 've got one life and i 'm prayin ' we can leave the rest behind and take what 's yours and mine we can leave the rest behind and take what 's yours and mine felicia : i wish you would n't have done that . ridge : well , that 's very good to hear josh . thank you . a lot of buzz downstairs over the designs . eric : good . everybody 's really getting on board . stephanie : not everyone . ridge : see what i mean ? thorne 's a brick wall . eric : let 's hear what happened , first . stephanie : it 's useless , really . he 's not going to budge . ridge : i guess we are going to have to hit this new collection out of the ballpark just to make him face reality . eric : can we offer him a vice presidency ? stephanie : oh , eric . you 're going to insult him all over again ? eric : it 's a high - profile , respected position . stephanie : eric , eric . it 's hard enough growing up to be the number two son your whole life , and then the number one son becomes the star designer . please . we did n't help him very much , either . ridge : okay , so the guy 's got issues . who does n't ? but if you 're a mature adult , it does n't mean you go looking for revenge . stephanie : that 's not what this is about . ridge : mother , what part of `` you 'll be sorry `` did n't you understand ? stephanie : ridge , he 's trying to get out from under a very long shadow and make his own mark . ridge : so , what ? this is his way of coming into his own ? stephanie : of saving himself , i think . ridge : well , it 's too bad he picked the wrong path to salvation , is n't it ? spectra versus forrester ? there 's no way he can win . i 'm telling you right now , thorne does n't have a magic rabbit to pull out of any hat . thorne : you got it ? luis : yeah . thorne : these are the latest designs , right ? luis : your father and your brother just finished them . thorne : perfect . did you have any trouble with the scanner i gave you ? luis : no . thorne : good . i just did n't want you to have any trouble in the copy room with the surveillance cameras . luis : thorne ? thorne : yeah ? luis : are you sure ? thorne : yes . but if you 're not comfortable , i 'll get somebody else to do this , luis . luis : no . i owe you . thorne : no , you do n't . luis : yes . speaking at my wife 's funeral , helping with all those medical bills , coming to joey 's graduation -- thorne : he 's a good kid . luis : i just wish you and your father could work things out , and i think you could , too , if it were n't for ridge . thorne : `` if it were n't for ridge . `` it 's the story of my life , huh ? i wo n't forget this , luis . luis : anything for you , kid . thorne : thanks . sally ? we got our secret weapon . the beginning of the end for forrester creations . nick : you okay ? felicia : it was beautiful . so why did you have to ruin a perfectly good , no strings relationship by singing it ? nick : you know why . felicia : god , you 're really starting to tick me off , marone . you know , i had this whole thing worked out . you know , a world without commitment . i could come and go as i please , i do n't have to worry about anybody , nobody has to worry about me , you know . and you had to come along , you know . you had to come along -- you know what ? i 'm not going to let you get to me . i 'm not . i 'm not going to give in -- nick : do n't forget about your life preserver . felicia : you ca n't promise that i will survive this ! nick : no , i ca n't . but i can have a heck of a time trying . felicia : do n't you get it ? i was ready to go and i had made peace . this is all your fault . it is all your fault , nick ! that i do n't want to die ! i do n't want to die . nick , i do n't want to die . i want to live .	eric and ridge look at some designs on models and discuss them . they start talking about the situation with thorne . eric thinks they need to make this new line very good so that it will crush spectra and make thorne come back . ridge does n't agree that they should let thorne come back . stephanie continues to argue with thorne about coming back . she tries everything but finally understand what he 's telling her . she goes back to tell eric and ridge that it 's hopeless . one of the forrester employees gives thorne a disk that has all of forrester 's new designs on them . felicia and nick play darts and talk about how she has to live her life now and not be afraid . he plays her a song he wrote about her . she is touched but annoyed that he has changed their light romance into something serious . she realizes she does n't want to die .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : well , how long has stephen known about this ? ridge : i do n't know . it 's been progressing rapidly , though . beth is still young . this is so unfair . stephanie : it 's unfair no matter what age you are . i mean , just to watch someone drift away , see them lose their memories , lose the people they love . they do n't -- i mean , just forget everything and not know anyone . [ scene_break ] stephen : i would give anything to spare you girls this . but these last few weeks in paris -- yes , there are times when -- when your mother appears to be just fine . but then the next minute , she 's confused and agitated . that 's why i rarely leave her side anymore . brooke : because you 're worried about what might happen . stephen : the disease affects the short - term memory first . i can ask beth about something that happened five minutes ago , and she ca n't remember a thing , and yet an engagement party that she catered in 1972 , she remembers every single dish that she prepared . but then she 'll be in the kitchen , making a casserole or something , something she 's done a thousand times by heart , and she 'll just stop , because she ca n't remember what she 's put in the dish , what she 's supposed to do next . she gets so frustrated , she just takes the whole thing and throws it in the garbage and starts all over , only to have it happen exactly the same way again . donna : ( sobs ) stephen : honey . donna : ( sobs ) stephen : i know . it kills me , too , to see what this disease is doing to her -- robbing her of her independence . i mean , i - i 'm starting to hide the car keys from her . katie : i 'm sure that goes over well . stephen : she accuses me of treating her like a child , and she can get very angry . and this is something you need to explain to your families , especially r.j. and hope . they need to know that if grandma gets very upset , it -- it 's because she 's sick . brooke : and not because they did anything wrong . katie : so do you think that 's what happened with stephanie ? she just went off on her ? stephen : well , i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe stephanie provoked it , but maybe she did n't . i do know that beth was extremely upset when she read `` the logan chronicles '' -- saw the daughter she loved so maligned in the press . and at first , i thought that was a natural reaction . brooke : because anger can sometimes be a part of alzheimer 's . stephen : yes . yes , it can . but frankly , anymore i -- ( sighs ) i do n't know what 's the disease or what 's beth . it 's hard to tell . katie : does she ever talk to you about us ? stephen : yes , constantly . sometimes it 's as if you are who you are today , but more and more in her mind , it 's about you as little girls that she adored raising . donna : dad , i do n't know how you did this all on your own . i do n't . but no more , okay ? katie : yeah , you 're -- you 're here now . donna : take care of mom . brooke : we 're gon na do it together , all of us , the way family should . stephen : i love you , girls . so does your mother . no matter what this disease takes from her , it wo n't take that . it never will . brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] jackie : you need more time . owen : listen , i know that you did n't give yourself to whip , but emotionally , it was -- jackie : no , i was just desperate . i thought that you -- owen : look , i know . i know . but , jackie , this is n't about what happened with whip or what did n't happen with whip . this is about the fact that you ran into the arms of another man without even letting me explain . and what does that say about us ? what does that say about our marriage ? jackie : it says that i was a fool for ever doubting you . that i could you lose you because of my own stupidity -- maybe that 's what i deserve . [ scene_break ] beth : now come on . i mean it , sweetheart . no sad faces . okay , so i 'm a little forgetful . i guess when you 're my age , you will be , too . donna : ( chuckles ) well , i just -- i hope i 'm half as beautiful . beth : oh , honey . i 've seen the way eric looks at you . and to him , you are the most beautiful woman in the world , just as your sister is to ridge . brooke : which mother was reminding him of earlier , among other things . beth : yes , well , you know , time , it 's just -- it 's so precious . and i do n't want you and the man you were meant to be with to spend one more moment apart . katie : is that what you were telling stephanie when things got a little out of hand ? beth : i -- you know , that woman never fails to bring out the worst in me . but when it comes to my three girls and looking after them , i mean -- i mean , not that i 'll always be here to do that , but -- donna : do n't -- do n't talk like that , please . beth : now , donna , we have never been the type of family to bury our head in the sand . whatever life has thrown our way , we have faced head - on , and i want to do exactly the same thing with this illness . and i also do n't want us to stop living . i mean , there are lots of wonderful moments ahead for the logan family . stephen : which includes a very special day for your mother , if she 'll just say yes . beth : yes to what ? stephen : come here . come here . i want you to sit down right there . perfect . the greatest regret in my life was walking away from this family , but thank god , i found my way back home , and all of you welcomed me back in your lives . but there is still one thing -- one thing missing that will make this family whole and complete again . beth , i have wanted to ask you this so many times , but for some reason or another , it never seemed like the right moment . well , this is the right moment , because just as you said , time is precious , and so are you , to me . so i want to do it all over again . i want you to be my wife . beth : ( sighs ) stephen : will you marry me , beth ? donna : ( gasps ) beth : well , this is the last thing i expected . stephen : is that a yes ? beth : oh , stephen , i 'm sorry , but i ca n't . donna : mom ! beth : i love you for asking , but let 's be honest . you would n't be asking if i were n't -- stephen : you 're wrong . you 're wrong . i bought this ring ... beth : ( gasps ) oh , my -- stephen : in paris months and months ago , long before the word `` alzheimer 's `` was ever uttered . and i 've just been waiting for the right time . so please , beth , say you 'll be my wife again . beth : you 're doing this out of pity . stephen : no . i love you . i love you , beth logan . now maybe you do n't feel the same way about me , but do n't you dare turn down my proposal thinking i 'm doing it because you 're ill or that i 'm trying to assuage my guilt for being such a lousy husband in the past , because it simply is n't true . and , honey , none of us knows how much time we have left . all we really have is each other and our faith . and i want to spend every moment making our days the best they could be . no , no . i 'm not pretending that we do n't have challenges . beth : ( sighs ) stephen : what family does n't ? so do n't be stubborn . beth : ( chuckles ) stephen : take the ring . take me . make me and your beautiful daughters happy . say yes . beth : no . katie : oh , mom , come on . say yes . come on . donna : just marry dad again . katie : ( laughs ) brooke : you know it 's what you want , mom . come on . beth : yes ! donna : ( laughs ) brooke : ( laughs ) yes ? stephen : yes you 'll marry me ? beth : yes , stephen logan , i will marry you . katie : oh , yay ! donna : ( laughs ) brooke : ( laughs ) beth : ( laughs ) donna : ( squeals ) [ scene_break ] owen : look , jackie , i 'm not giving up on our marriage , all right ? i made vows to you , vows that i meant . but if there 's any way that i can just -- jackie : forgive me ? owen : i do n't think that this is about forgiveness anymore . look , i want our marriage to last . but for now , i just -- jackie : this is how it has to be . i understand . jackie : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : your sister okay ? brooke : it was very hard news to give them . brooke : but then my dad surprised us all , and -- and he proposed to my mom . ridge : wow . out of the blue ? brooke : yeah . none of us expected it . ridge : well , that 'll be something all of you can look forward to . brooke : it 'll be something good , something positive that our family can hang on to . i 'm losing her , ridge , my mother , a little bit every day . ( sighs ) and all this time i thought that we would have to spend together -- but that 's just it . you know , time and -- and the people that you love , there 's ... ( sighs ) there 's just never enough . and that makes me scared about you and me , because here we are once again . we 're just hanging here in limbo like this , and no decision 's been made . i just do n't think that i can do this much longer . i need you to make a decision . can you do that ? please , ridge . this may be the last chance you 'll have .	owen hugs jackie ; she is so relieved that he still loves her . he explains that he wants to be the center of her world and not an outsider as he often feels when she is with whip . he sees how whip looks at her and he 's not ready to go back to the office and face that again . jackie begs him to come home with her , but he 's not quite at that point yet . ridge hustles stephanie out of the way so she wo n't agitate beth even more . stephen comes in and asks to speak to all of his daughters as he has some news for them . ridge tells stephanie that beth has been diagnosed with alzheimer 's . stephen tells his daughters that their mother is suddenly getting worse but she wanted to come here one more time to see all her daughters . it kills him to see her with this disease . she accuses him of treating her like a child and he has to hide the car keys from her so she wo n't run off .

( sighs ) are n't you nervous , you know , knowing what you 're about to find out ? liam : ( chuckles ) yeah . yeah , i mean , if it 's spencer ... it 's not gon na be spencer . hope : you know , liam , there 's a chance that it might not be bill or thorne . liam : no , i know . you 're right . hope : i mean , y - y - you could have gone through all of this just to end up right back where you started . liam : well , it would still be worth it . i got to spend all day with you . thorne : hey . liam : what 's up ? thorne : the doctor 's assistant just told me the results are in . he 's gon na be up here any minute . bill : what 's goin ' on ? thorne : the d.n.a . results are ready . doctor should be up here any second . bill : great . then i can finally get out of here . liam : so sorry to inconvenience you , mr. spencer . bill : oh , do n't worry about it , kid . i only had to deal with this for an afternoon . thorne here , he 's gon na have to shoulder this burden for the rest of his life . thorne : spoken like a man who does n't have any kids . bill : no , i do n't , and the good doctor 's about to confirm that . bill : those the results ? dr. steele : yes . bill : all right , doc , let 's hear it . who 's the daddy ? [ scene_break ] eric : look , i say we go down to the hospital . ridge : thorne said no . he wants to take care of this himself . stephanie : maybe we should be prepared . let 's buy some balloons and have a banner made that says , `` welcome to the family . `` eric : no matter how this turns out , thorne is gon na need all of us . stephanie : i know . i 'm being silly . look , we really do n't know anything about this boy , and what little we do know , i - i 'm very suspicious of . ridge : i have to agree with mother . we have to be careful , especially given liam 's involvement with spencer . stephanie : i mean , what if he turns out to be spencer 's son ? ridge : look , if this does turn out to be that way , thorne 's gon na want to get out of there pronto . stephanie : mm - hmm . eric : has he told you how he feels about this ? ridge : well , knowing him , i can pretty much guess . eric : yeah , so can i . stephanie : yeah , if it turns out to be his son , you know what thorne will do -- just welcome him with open arms , 'cause that 's just the way he is . [ scene_break ] dr. steele : the lab sequenced and compared the three d.n.a . samples they received . they began by looking at the y chromosome , which is passed directly from the father to the male child . those initial findings were confirmed by further testing . thorne : so the tests are conclusive ? dr. steele : well , we were able to rule out one of you fairly quickly . yeah , i - i should explain that , uh , d.n.a . matching does n't give us yes or no answers . we do n't just put your blood into a machine and wait for the name of the father to print out . p.c.r . testing is based upon probabilities . in this case , the probabilities were all quite high , which is good . thorne : but you do n't have a rock - solid answer ? dr. steele : i 'm confident we have the answer liam is looking for . i ca n't promise it 's the answer he wants . liam , are you ready to learn if one of these men is your father ? liam : yeah . yeah , i 'm ready . dr. steele : thorne ... liam : ( sighs ) dr. steele : your d.n.a . was excluded . the markers indicate conclusively you are not liam 's father . thorne : oh . dr. steele : bill , your d.n.a . showed more than a 99 % probability of being a paternal match to liam cooper . bill : so there 's a 1 % chance that i am not the father katie : ( scoffs ) oh , bill . dr. steele : with a probability that high , the paternity is a virtual certainty . liam : you 're my father . bill : run the test again . dr. steele : we ran everything twice . the results were identical . i - i realize this may not be what you wanted to hear , but the findings have been confirmed . good luck . thorne : liam , listen , um , you did n't get off to a good start with my family , but i - i hope you know that we would have accepted you . liam : oh , thank you , thorne . thorne : i have very fond memories of your mother . she was a very special woman . ( sighs ) good luck . thorne : congratulations , bill . hope : somebody say something . katie : um , look , this is , um , i 'm sure a shock to everyone . and it 's been an interesting day . but i guess it 's -- it 's not such a surprise . i mean , your mother named you william . hope : wait , liam is short for william ? liam : yeah . it 's cooler than william . katie : william . william . you 're both spencers . he 's your son . liam : dad .	bill paces the doctor 's office in trying to figure out how much longer this dna procedure will take . katie tells bill that no one is leaving until liam finds out who his father is . bill still thinks the boy has forrester written all over him . eric is filled in and thinks this is incredible that thorne may have a new lost son . stephanie thinks it is all a scam . ridge does n't think liam has an axe to grind because of the steffy fiasco with the brooke tribute . thorne calls them and tells them no word yet from the doctor . hope listens to liam talk about his mother . she holds his hand and tries to convince him that all will be okay .
liam : we just got engaged , hope , and now you 're jetting off to paris . i mean ... do n't go without ... letting me show you how i feel . [ scene_break ] steffy : hey . i thought you 'd be on your way to the airport by now . thomas : yeah . i still got some time . sure you do n't want to tag along ? i mean , we are talking paris . steffy : we 're talking hope 's first international press junket . i 'll pass . and if you were smart , you would , too .

( chuckles ) katie : you do n't seem all that excited . donna : yeah , are -- are you happy about this marriage ? i mean , hope is still kind of young . katie : you think she 's too young ? brooke : no , i - i think she 's mature . and she knows what she wants ... and does n't want . katie : the way you say that -- we were just at liam 's , and ... donna : yeah , we expected to see hope there , considering they did just get engaged . brooke : she spent the night here . hope and liam have n't ... katie : oh . donna : oh .

[ scene_break ] steffy : you can always back out . thomas : no , i ca n't back out , 'cause i 'm still in the doghouse around here . steffy : oh , yeah , the lie that grandma talked you into . oh , yeah thomas : yep . i should have just stood up to her , you know ? i knew it was wrong , so i deserve to pay a price . steffy : yeah , but you are paying . the last time you were in paris , you were center stage , but now you 're a part of hope 's entourage . ( sighs ) she must really be living under a lucky star or something . thomas : uh , speaking of liam , how are you handling it ? steffy : handing what ? thomas : your new love proposed last night and not to you . steffy : well , i was n't expecting a proposal . thomas : neither was hope , but now that she accepted and it 's official , where does that leave you ? [ scene_break ] hope : do you think i 'm being selfish ? liam : no . no , i think you 're doing what 's right for you . hope : only what 's right for me is n't what 's right for you . liam : look , i know how important this is for you , and ... i want to believe that i can do this . i mean , at least i - i told myself that i could . hope : why ? because you knew it 's what i needed to hear ? liam : because i do n't want to pressure you into something you 're not ready for . hope : hey , it -- its okay , liam . i know that you respect me . i know you do . liam : i do respect you . i do . i do so much . i respect everything about you -- your choices for yourself , how you live your life . i mean , it 's -- it 's what makes you so special . it 's why i want to marry you . but i do believe that it would be better for us to know each other in every way possible before we say our `` i dos . `` i mean , you 're -- you 're leaving tonight , and who knows how long you 're gon na be gone . i mean , do n't -- do n't ... do n't ask me to wait three months .

( cell phone rings ) steffy : steffy forrester . yeah , i 'll be right there . duty calls . thomas : steffy , wait . unrealistic expectations ? what does that mean ? steffy : safe flight .

[ scene_break ] hope : he has to have seen it by now . thomas : oh , definitely . i was looking in my rearview mirror as we were pulling out , and he was looking right at it . hope : ( sighs ) was it a bad idea ? thomas : well , liam has gotten away with so much ... ( scoffs ) taking turns hurting both you and my sister . a big sign like that reminding him of what he did -- no , no , it was n't a bad idea . hope : ( sighs ) thomas : although , i was a little bit surprised when you suggested it . hope : ( sighs ) i 'm sure he 's going to have it cleaned up very soon , but until then , i - i 'm glad that he has to see what he did right there on his house . he stabbed me in the heart . thomas : i 'm proud of you . hope : ( scoffs ) thomas : you 're making him accountable . hope : i want him to really see how i feel . thomas : good . good . so do n't look back . do n't ... hope : ( sighs ) thomas : do n't second - guess yourself , your choices , your beliefs .

[ scene_break ] caroline : you really think that thomas is hiding feelings for hope ? rick : i do n't think that he 's conscious of it . caroline : just buried deep , waiting for the day that she 's available ? rick : you 're upset . caroline : ( scoffs ) rick : i 'm sorry . you know , i hate to be the one to tell you , but yeah , you know , liam and steffy , they 've been married . they love each other , which makes hope available for thomas . caroline : leaving me out in the cold . rick : no . no , absolutely not . i would take care of you . thomas will disappoint . i wo n't . caroline : ( sighs ) you 're acting like it 's a done deal . liam and hope just broke up , and thomas is being a good friend to her . and if -- if there 's more , if -- if he has feelings for her , then ... i 'll wait to hear it from him before i let you kiss me again ... or take me to dinner . rick : understood . caroline : good . what am i even waiting for ? i 'm just -- i 'm gon na call him . rick : my sister is so hurt right now . if he 's giving her any kind of comfort , i do n't want him to leave her side . you know , i 'll tell you what . you stay here . you get back to work . i 'll ask pam and donna when they think they 'll be back . caroline : thank you . [ scene_break ] steffy : look , i feel bad for hope , but if she ca n't trust you , that 's on her , not you . you 've been faithful . liam : italy ? steffy : okay , since you said your vows ... liam : ( sniffles ) steffy : the ones she claimed did n't count . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : liam , we went out last night . we had drinks as friends . liam : yeah , the night before my wedding , on top of what happened in italy already . i mean , she 's right . it was wrong . it was insensitive . if i had just ... you know , just put her feelings first instead of my own , then ... steffy : no , i - i get it . i get it . you hate hurting her . and you 're a man of your word . and you feel like you 've broken it . liam : i put a sword through her heart . liam : you know , that 's ... what i did ... to such a good person . why do i hurt her like that ? steffy : liam ... time will take care of everything for both of you . [ scene_break ] hope : i accepted over and over his love for another woman while he was supposed to be committed to me . never again . i mean , if -- if i ever get married , there will be no question in my mind what the groom is doing the night before . thomas : hope ... ( scoffs ) guys are gon na be circling so fast , you 're gon na have your pick of men who want to love only you . rick : ( knocks on door ) hey . hope : hey . rick : pam and donna told me you were back . hope : mm . rick : you went over to liam 's to pack up your stuff ? hope : yep . ( sighs ) all packed up . rick : you know , sis , i would have done that for you in a heartbeat . hope : it 's -- its fine . i mean , thomas was actually a big help . thomas : well , i mean , it was n't that big of a deal -- a little packing , a bit of painting . ( chuckles ) rick : painting ? hope : uh , yeah . i ... ( sighs ) i kind of had this idea . um , you know , liam has one of those -- like , this tower on the side of his house . rick : yeah . hope : uh , well , i - i kind of asked thomas to ... spray - paint a giant heart on it . thomas : with one of those stupid spencer swords stabbing right through it . hope : ( sighs ) its how he made me feel . that 's how much he hurt me . rick : i know . hope : i 'll be right back . ( sighs ) rick : ( sighs ) thomas : well , i should get back to work . rick : uh , no , do n't -- do n't go . thomas : no , i need to track down caroline . rick : no , hope needs you . she 's finally done with liam . ( sighs ) thomas : ( sighs ) rick : you wanted that . it was n't so long ago you proposed to her , you remember ? thomas : and things would be very different if she said `` yes . `` rick : she 's finally done with that jerk spencer . thomas : i would never treat her the way liam did . rick : i know . remind her of that . this is your chance . make it happen . you love hope . make her yours .	rick asks caroline out for dinner . he says she can not say no as she does not have plans with thomas as he is helping hope move out of liam 's as they speak . he lays it on thick that thomas is in his white knight mode right now helping a damsel in distress . maybe she thinks that is being a good friend but it could be old feelings coming back to the surface . caroline does n't need to stick around for that . rick gets a phone call from othello who still does n't like the way he left it with lying to hope . rick assures him it is a done deal now as hope and liam have split , all is okay .
caroline : do you see ? the neckline ? thomas : [ clears throat ] yeah . yeah . it 's subtle , but , um ... you 're right . yeah . i get it now . caroline : yeah , 'cause you just -- you want to take the focus -- thomas : no , no . no , no , no . i 'm talking about you and dad . i understand how it only took one touch . caroline : thomas ... what are you saying ? [ scene_break ] brooke : it sounds like you made a decision . ridge : the only one i can make . brooke : do n't rush in to anything . you really need to think this through . ridge : i need to think about caroline . you just said that . i 've been selfish until now , just thinking about living in the moment 'cause it serves my purpose . brooke : that 's right . you 're in a relationship with somebody . so maybe living in the moment is n't the best thing for her . and maybe having a child would n't be the best thing for you . so , is that it ? is that what you 've decided ? you 're gon na have a family with caroline even though you do n't want to ?

[ scene_break ] [ lock disengages , door opens ] caroline : hey . [ sighs ] guess what . ridge : what ? caroline : i was just with thomas . and ... i think that you are not going to be ripping up his designs anymore , because he 's really making some progress , and i think that he 's right in line with what we are looking for for california freedom . and he 's taking in and processing every single note and applying it , so ... ridge : well , you 're a good teacher . caroline : i mean , obviously . ridge : [ chuckles ] caroline : as are you . ridge : i want thomas to succeed . i want everything -- everything that 's good for him , and i - i - i want the best for you . caroline : then it 's a good thing i 'm with you , because you are the best thing for me . ridge : did you get me something ? caroline : [ chuckles ] no , you -- you remember my friend meriah ? she had the baby earlier this year . i showed you the pictures . ridge : yes . i remember . caroline : so , this is for her . uh , it 's kind of funny . if you , uh -- if you saw her in high school , you would have never imagined her , like , being a mom at all .

[ crying ] god , ridge , i -- you know , i was trying really hard to be okay with never having kids , and -- and i think i was , you know ? but it 's just -- 'cause our love -- it felt like it could be enough , but we just have -- we have so much love that i feel like we could give that love to a child or -- or maybe , like , two or three . i do n't know . and just -- we could have this great little family and just raise that family . ridge : yeah . that would be nice . caroline : but it 's -- but that 's what we 're gon na have . we 're gon na -- you just -- ridge : that 's what you 're gon na have . you . you 're gon na be an incredible mother . and whoever the father 's gon na be is gon na be one lucky guy . ca n't be me .

[ sighs ] ivy : i 'm sure things have been a little rough since you and eric announced your relationship . quinn : eric 's taking more heat than i am . ivy : well , he wo n't get any from me . and neither will you . quinn : if i agree to talk to him for you . ivy : i feel like he 'll listen to you . quinn : [ chuckles ] you sound pretty sure about that . ivy : yeah , well , from what i hear , he 's not really listening to anyone else . [ chuckles ] quinn : still , do n't you think it 's a bit odd -- you coming to me looking for an ally ? ivy : quinn , i can be one , too . look , okay . you and i have had our fair share of problems , but we 've worked through most of them . i 'm not overly proud of my behavior last year . but i 'm hoping we can take all of that and just put it behind us , 'cause i 'm coming back to l.a. with a whole new perspective . and i feel like you being with my uncle eric , you 've got one , too . look , reviving this line all by yourself -- it 's a big job . i know you could use an extra pair of hands , someone to have your back . you can trust me , quinn . i 'll be loyal to you . quinn : loyal ? ivy : yes . quinn : let me think about it , and i 'll get back to you . ivy : thank you . steffy : am i interrupting something ? liam : no . steffy : you said you needed to see me . liam : uh , yeah . yeah , i did . and you need this -- some space to breathe , space to relax , drink some champagne , watch the sunset like you used to . listen , just a place to feel safe and cared for . steffy : i do n't know what to say . liam : you do n't have to say anything . steffy : this is all really complicated . liam : yeah . yeah , it is . i know . but it does n't have to be here . i mean , this -- this was our home . we had some good times under this roof . we were happy . and i happen to believe that we will be again . and i think you believe that , too . steffy : um ... so , uh , my -- my grandfather came to see me today . he , uh , had something to ask me -- if i , um -- if i was using the whole quinn situation as an excuse . liam : excuse for what ? steffy : to leave my husband and come back to you . liam : what did you tell him ? wyatt : tell me it 's over . quinn : oh , you got my text . wyatt : tell me that you have come to your senses , you 're packing up your things , you 're not working here , and you 're not living with eric . quinn : not quite . wyatt : well , it 's the only thing i want to hear right now , mom . quinn : i 'm sorry , honey . wyatt : i do n't need that . i do n't want that . i do n't want an apology . i need you to -- to -- to , like , stop what you 're doing . that 's what i need you to do . quinn : eric and i are very happy . wyatt : i do n't care . quinn : honey . wyatt : you are ruining my life , and that is not an exaggeration . this is n't like when i was a kid . everything that you are doing right now is impacting my life in a very negative , very real way . quinn : i do n't want that . wyatt : oh , okay . then just pack up your things . go home . quinn : honey , if you would just listen to me . wyatt : no . do you understand ? do you have any idea what this is costing me ? huh ? do you even care ? quinn : of course i do . wyatt : oh , really ? 'cause steffy left , and if you keep this up , my marriage could end . quinn : no , it wo n't . i will not allow that to happen . quinn : i ca n't stand seeing you this way . i hate what this is doing to you . wyatt : yeah , but you 're not gon na stop , are you ? quinn : you 're asking me to make an impossible choice -- your happiness or , for the first time in my life , mine . wyatt : is n't that what you 've said to me my entire life ? that my happiness meant everything to you ? were those just words ? quinn : [ sighs ] eric is a good man . wyatt : i know . quinn : he treats me really well . he helps me to be a better person . wyatt : oh , do n't even tell me that you 've changed . quinn : i have changed ! eric has seen it . i know you 've seen it . and in time , steffy will , too . wyatt : no , steffy is gone , mom . steffy moved out of our house because of you . because you could n't do the one thing , the one thing that we asked you to do , which was just stay away . and you even said you were gon na do it . yet here you are . you 're working at forrester . you 're moving in with eric . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt : you know , steffy said that you could n't be trusted . and you know what ? i think she 's right . but i gave you the benefit of the doubt , and guess what ? now she does n't trust me either . quinn : but you did n't do anything wrong . wyatt : no , i believed you . and that was wrong . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt : my marriage is seriously in jeopardy right now . i was over with liam earlier . you know what he was doing ? he was setting up a - a romantic get- together for steffy . hell , she could be over there right now for all i know . and it 's only a matter of time before he and steffy get back together , because the way things are going , he might as well be right . quinn : you ca n't . you ca n't let her go over there . wyatt : hey , she 's free to do whatever she wants . and right now , she does n't want me . quinn : of course she does . she does ! she just -- wyatt : what ? what is it ? what are you gon na say ? quinn : your marriage -- it -- it is n't over , okay ? we will figure something out . wyatt : that is the last thing i want to hear you say right now . quinn : wyatt , i will do everything in my power to make sure that your marriage does n't end . wyatt : and that scares me more than anything you could have said . steffy : my grandfather knows how i feel about you , how hard this has been on me . liam : yeah , well , he 's concerned . steffy : but he wo n't do anything about it . that 's why he asked about you . liam : what did you tell him ? steffy : that i 'm married to wyatt and we are apart because of quinn , that 's why i left . look , this is about quinn . this is about getting her out of my life and away from my grandfather . liam : did he believe you ? steffy : i do n't know . i do n't know . but it 's the truth . i just -- i need to get quinn out of my life . that 's all i can really think about right now . you know , there 's just so much at stake -- my family , my -- my marriage . liam : what about your happiness ? what about that ? steffy : like i said , it 's complicated . liam , i mean , this -- all of this -- like , i am -- i 'm so -- i 'm so touched . you know , there 's a part of me that wants to just stay here with you , just go back to the way it used to be . but i ca n't . and ... i ca n't go back to wyatt , either . look , i - i do n't want to hurt him . i - i 'm stuck . i do n't want to hurt him . i do n't -- i do n't want to see you like this . liam : [ chuckles ] it 's not you . steffy . it 's not you . steffy : [ scoffs ] liam : it 's quinn . quinn did this to us . quinn created this whole situation . now , i know . your -- your grandfather thinks she 's changed . maybe wyatt thinks that , too . i 'm not -- i 'm not sure . but you and i know better , right ? quinn does n't change . she 's not capable of it . she uses people to her advantage . just like she used us . wyatt : steffy is gone . steffy moved out of our house because of you . my marriage is seriously in jeopardy right now . i was over with liam earlier . you know what he was doing ? he was setting up a - a romantic get - together . hell , she could be over there right now for all i know . [ dialing ] quinn : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] [ beeps ] ivy : hello ? quinn : i thought about what you said . ivy : will you help me ? quinn : did you mean it ? ivy : [ chuckles ] absolutely . quinn , i want to come back to forrester . i 'll -- i 'll do anything . if you do n't want me on the jewelry line , i 'll just -- i do something else . quinn : did you mean that you would be loyal to me ? ivy : yes . quinn : i need that . now more than ever . and if you can do that , then i think there can be a place for you here at forrester and in los angeles . ivy : i 'll take it , whatever it is . thank you so much , quinn . i am tremendously grateful . quinn : ivy , i 'm not making you any promises , but you were right . i ca n't do this alone . i could really use you , ivy .	eric tells steffy that living separately from wyatt is not going to keep her safe from quinn so he has to ask again if this is just to get closer to liam . his living with quinn now has nothing to do with her and wyatt . she says again her family is in trouble all because of quinn 's manipulations . he says he has not excused anything in quinn 's past but she has changed so they need to give her a chance and let her prove it . she says they have all told him so when something goes wrong just remember that ; she always manipulates . wyatt and liam continue to argue and liam says he is not worrying about steffy getting away from wyatt but just from his mother . quinn looks up and is surprised to see ivy . she says she did not come all the way from australia to give quinn a lecture . she is surprised but eric is a grown man , so enough said . she misses everyone and thinks now that quinn is back she could use some help with the line . she says she learned so much under quinn ; it sent her designs to a whole new level . quinn asks if ivy wants her to put in a good word with eric . ivy says she would do anything to come back if eric would let her . she thinks quinn could trust her and she will be loyal to her with a new pair of hands . quinn says she will think about it and get back with ivy . wyatt tells liam that brother to brother he would like another chance with his mother and this thing with eric is the last straw . wyatt disagrees that liam can not use that logic that quinn kept him and steffy from marrying ; they were broken up at the time . liam says sooner or later he and steffy will resume the life that quinn stole from them so wyatt better accept that . steffy shows up at liam 's and he says this does not have to be complicated ; it was their home and it can be again . she tells him what eric said that she might be using quinn as an excuse to come back to him . he wants to know if that is true .
steffy : thank you for driving . liam : sure . steffy : i 'll see you after work . i just do n't know what time that will be . liam : i do n't think i can go to work today . steffy : why not ? liam : do you think i could , um , maybe hang out here ? i 'm not gon na get in your way . i just -- i do n't know . seeing sally in the hospital last night kind of hit me hard . and then hearing everything that they lost , it just ... steffy : i know you did n't want to talk about it , but i can tell that you think your father was responsible for the fire at spectra . liam : i know he was . 'cause he told me . bill : unbelievable ! `` no personnel or pets were present when the fire broke out . `` where did you intern ? your middle school newspaper ? this is a three - line item ! no tears will be shed over spectra fashions ! [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . some mornings just start out this way . now , where were we ? there . that 's better . brooke : big news in the l.a . fashion world today , the spectra fire . bill : no . a new energy drink , a rainy day , those are big news in this town . who in the hell is gon na miss spectra ? brooke : the spectras will , i imagine . breathe . sally : [ inhales deeply ] breathe . sally : [ inhales deeply ] breathe . sally : [ inhales deeply ] sounds good . how 's the cough ? sally : it 's gone . shirley : [ gasps ] liar , liar , pants on -- i ca n't even say that word . sally : it 's mostly gone . lungs sound better . oxygen 's at 90 . coco : that 's good , right ? sally : then i can take this off ? okay . but if you get dizzy or lightheaded , it goes back on , hmm ? sally : and if i do n't , then i can go home ? saul : today ? maybe . but no going back to work for the rest of the week , hmm ? sally : [ coughs ] that wo n't be a problem . shirley : what we need now is a miracle . sally : [ coughing ] darlita : from her mouth to his ears . thomas : what hurts ? sally : nothing ... now . thomas : come here . sally : [ sighs ] steffy : arson ? ! bill ? liam : well , somebody he hired , yeah . steffy : well , wait . we know that it was an electrical fire the other day . liam : yeah , it 's probably where he got the idea . steffy : i ca n't believe this . bill would never do something like this . liam : well , exactly . that 's the point . i mean , you know my dad . he hires all the best people . even the arson investigators thought it was faulty wiring , and it 's gon na stay that way unless somebody who knows something says something . steffy : you know this is a criminal . liam : i know . [ door opens ] that 's my point . rick : hey . what do we know about this fire ? ivy : yeah , they said that there 's hardly anything left . r.j. : well , it 's technically still standing . steffy : sally 's okay . she was lucky . liam : they 're all lucky . rick : i just had three reporters call me asking me for a comment . steffy : okay , i will , uh , i 'll have katie write something up . maya : look , sally is not my favorite person , but this just seems so unfair . the night before the show that 's supposed to put her back in business ? rick : yeah . it 's either karma ... or bad luck . bill : alison , why would i send flowers to sally spectra ? i hardly know the woman . then tell jarrett to send his own damn flowers . brooke : they do n't have any insurance for this ? bill : c.j . garrison 's a half - wit . if he accepted either one of my offers , none of this would have happened . brooke : [ sighs ] it 's hard to imagine spectra will ever get back up on their feet . maybe if thomas had stayed . thomas : hey , stop it . smoke inhalation is serious . sally : the doctors say i 'm gon na be fine . [ coughs ] thomas : uh - huh . darlita : my hair still smells like smoke . want to smell it ? saul : everybody 's does . shirley : this is n't exactly the way we wanted to make headlines , but if it brought you home ... saul : did it ? are you home ? sally : okay , next , everyone 's gon na be asking , `` what did you bring me ? `` seriously , though , what 'd you bring me , bucko ? thomas : well , you can fit it into your pocket . sally : i do n't know . i give up . r.j. : hey , guys . coco says her sister 's probably gon na be discharged today . ivy : oh . rick : i guess that settles whether or not we send a gift basket . maya : oh , no , no . we can still send something to her home . rick : really ? what 's the card gon na say ? `` sorry for your loss `` ? steffy : no , some kind of variation , like `` get well soon . `` i think that 's best . maya : yeah , that 's lovely . keep it personal . ivy : i mean , it 's not really a loss , right ? because their insurance will cover the rebuild . steffy : not really , as it turns out . liam : yeah , there is no fire insurance . c.j . expected to sell the building this year , and so he did n't renew it . maya : no . then this is a total disaster for them . liam : pretty much , yeah . rick : does anybody know how the fire started ? i mean , should we be looking for someone to sue ? liam : uh ... steffy : well , it was -- it was an electrical fire . liam : yeah , there was some excitement , uh , at the preview . there was a wall socket that caught fire , so ... ivy : oh , well , then that must have been it . liam : yeah , yeah , that must be it . bill : why would anything be different for spectra if thomas were here ? unless the forresters are flame retardant . brooke : bill . [ chuckles ] he has resources and connections . bill : he has a short attention span . brooke : he could probably help them set up shop somewhere and front them a couple months ' rent . bill : why are you interested in the competition being back in business ? brooke : losing everything is n't a business crisis . it 's a human one . [ knock on door ] bill : come in ! brooke : caroline ! caroline : alison said you were n't busy . bill : alison knows she 's never supposed to say that . caroline : she said that , too . [ chuckles ] brooke : douglas is getting so big ! how long are you in town for ? caroline : uh , it 's a little up in the air at this point . brooke : is thomas with you ? caroline : uh , not right at the moment , but he did come with . brooke : aww , that 's nice . caroline : yeah . brooke : aww . i hate to do this , but i got to go , otherwise i 'm gon na be late for work . so , i 'll see you later , okay ? bye . oh , and stop by the office , okay ? steffy would love to see you and this little big guy . caroline : yeah . bill : love you . i 'll see you at home . brooke : love you , honey . mwah . bye . caroline : [ sighs ] it is so nice to have somebody treat me like i 'm not dying . bill : what are you doing here ? caroline : thomas insisted . bill : how about saying no , right ? that 's not part of the plan . caroline : well , neither was spectra burning down . bill : what are you saying ? caroline : i 'm saying that my terminal illness is bogus , and sally spectra 's injuries are real . i 'm supposed to keep thomas at home when he 's frantic for her ? he deserves so much better from me . thomas : what day is it ? sally : the day after yesterday . thomas : all right , good , good . how many fingers am i holding up ? sally : 25 . [ light laughter ] thomas : it looks like our patient is going to be just fine . saul : yeah , it might have been different if those firefighters did n't come when they did . you should have seen her ! shirley : oh ! darlita : yeah . shirley : she was about to charge right into the fire and grab the designs . uh , thomas , i hope you wo n't mind , but on behalf of everyone , we are so glad you 're back . thomas : everyone ? saul : yeah . coco : hey , um , maybe thomas and sally want some time alone . darlita : good idea . saul : we wo n't go far . thomas : see you , guys . sally : i 'm not crying . thomas : i think you are just a little bit . it 's okay . sally : okay , well , if i am , it 's because i 'm happy . even when everything that i had worked for and hoped for was going up in flames , at least i could think ... i still have thomas . ivy : i mean , all those people they employed , they do n't have jobs now . rick : it 's a real shame . maya : we could hire some of their models here . i mean , they all have interesting looks . rick : yeah , yeah . we could assume their contracts . steffy : we could use the seamstresses to cut down the overtime we keep giving ours . r.j. : you 'd be okay with that ? steffy : yeah , i would . rick : you know , this is good . people do n't want handouts . they want to work . r.j. : okay , speak for yourself , all right ? rick : what did you say to me ? r.j. : wait . wait . mom , mom , tell him to stop . brooke : ohh ! how i love to see my kids getting along . maya : yeah , well , you , uh , you might want to brace yourself if you have n't seen the news yet . brooke : oh , the spectra fire . i heard about that . bill told me this morning . ivy : wait , did n't -- did n't bill try and buy that building ? r.j. : yeah , he did . to build that giant ... a - a - a skyscraper . brooke : on the brighter side , your cousin and your nephew are in town . liam : douglas and caroline are ? steffy : with or without thomas ? brooke : thomas is here , but caroline did n't say where he was . i could only guess . bill : he 's a cute kid . ca n't get enough of alison . caroline : yeah , that 's because she feeds him enough ice cream until his stomach hurts . bill : relax . he 's got a room full of will 's toys to entertain him . caroline : i should have never come here . bill : you 're too wound up . you got to get a grip . caroline : why do i ever listen to you ? i want my miracle cure today or tomorrow . before i leave , i want it ! bill : it 's too soon . caroline : just grab some unemployed actor , throw a lab coat on him , and have him declare me all better . let 's -- bill : it 's too soon ! thomas is still running to rescue little orphan sally . you got to give it more time . caroline : if you 're not gon na help me , i 'm gon na tell him i lied . bill : you 'll be sorry if you do that . how are you going to explain letting the pretense go on for so long ? you can blame me , but that only covers a couple of days . what about the rest of it ? you 'll lose thomas . and if he gets mad enough , you 'll lose douglas , as well . is that what you want ? to see thomas and that batty redhead raising your kid ? caroline , death is a fact of life . most people only get one shot at it . well , look at you ! you 're getting a chance to rehearse ! look at it that way ! thomas : she has good days and bad days . sally : i guess that 's to be expected . thomas : physically , she seems fine . emotionally , she 's in a total tailspin . sally : it 's no surprise , either . do you think caroline 's depressed ? thomas : she does n't want to tell her moms about the diagnosis . sally : why ? thomas : i do n't know . just means that i 'm her only form of support out there . sally : that 's a lot to put on you . look , i 'm -- i 'm not criticizing her . thomas : i know , i know . but it would help me a lot if you would n't go running into burning buildings anymore . sally : okay , that is not what happened . thomas : is it ? you kind of did . you kind of did . sally : it 's not what happened . no . no . i took everybody out to dinner , you know , lady bountiful , because i expected us to be , you know , having money come in , and we did n't see the fire from the outside when we came back . we were getting ready for a full night ahead of us , getting ready for the show . i mean ... [ scoffs ] we were ready for it . we were happy . and it was n't until we got off the elevator that we actually saw the fire . my entire office was just engulfed in flames . it was contained , you know , or so we thought at least at that point , but i 'm an idiot and ... opened the door . there was a beam that was just fully on fire , blocking the way . i watched all of my designs just go up in flames right in front of me . i mean , this was supposed to be the day that my dream came true , the fashion show that made my fortune . and now i just ca n't see a way forward . at least i couldn't ... until you walked through the door . liam : so how are my dad 's spirits this morning ? brooke : oh , you know your father . i do n't think he was heartbroken about the fire . but it is really sad that c.j . let the insurance lapse . steffy : well , you know , spectras love shortcuts . and four times out of five , they do n't pay off . brooke : bill said nothing like this would have happened if c.j . let him buy the building . steffy : well , now bill spencer gets to have his tower after all . liam : i would n't call it a sure thing . brooke : he always thinks that a new building or a new buyout is gon na make him more content . just does n't last very long . bill : all right , you good ? okay ? breathe . you sufficiently in control of yourself to tell me what 's going on with thomas ? caroline : he came here for sally . so if he has any other plans besides that , he did n't share them with me . why ? bill : well , he has a habit of being a pain in the ass when you least expect it . has he talked about moving back ? caroline : not to me . but i do n't know what he 's saying to sally . sally : [ coughing ] i can , uh , sign my discharge papers any time . oh , i 'm sorry . your doctor wants to wait a little longer and make sure you 're okay without supplemental oxygen before we let you go . sally : ca n't catch a break . thomas : well , hey , i could -- i could go so i do n't suck up all the oxygen in the room . sally : wait . go where ? thomas : out , you know , so the gang can come back in . sally : can i ask you a question ? thomas : it sounds like you just did . sally : another one . thomas : of course . sally : are you back ? thomas : why do n't you pinch me , find out if i 'm real ? sally : you know what i mean . look , i admire what you 're doing for caroline and douglas . i was already in love with you . but now you have this extra luster . it 's like this sun beam that 's around you all the time . thomas : [ laughs ] sally : do n't laugh ! thomas : sun beam . it 's fine . sally : seriously , though , how many men would have done what you did ? and then turn around and came back to make sure my charred lungs and my rotten luck are still gon na be okay . thomas : are you , though ? sally : it 's not fair to answer another question with another question . thomas : are you going to be okay ? sally : i try not to have expectations whenever it comes to you . but the thing is , i do . i ca n't help but think that you 're gon na be like you 've always been . my champion . keeping me out of jail , even though that 's exactly where i belong , or battling bill spencer on my behalf . is that still you ? or did all that change when you left ? i have my health . nothing else . literally nothing . i hate to sound needy , but ... the fact of the matter is , i am . so i need to know , thomas . are you back ?	liam wants to hang around in steffy 's office , not be in the way . he just does not feel like going to work after seeing sally last night and all that she lost . she says she knows he does not want to talk about it but that he thinks his father was responsible . liam says yes , he knows he was . bill even told him . the doctor checks out sally and says since her cough is almost gone and if she does not go back to work maybe she will release her today . however as soon as the doctor goes , sally starts coughing again . grams says what they need is a miracle and in walks thomas . sally perks up but wants to cry at the same time . thomas gives her a hug . steffy asks liam if he is saying arson . she thought it was an electrical wiring problem . liam says it was and that is probably where bill got the idea . his dad always hires the best people and even the electrical investigators will think as much unless someone says something . ivy , rick , maya , coco and rj come rushing in and want to know about the fire . maya says she was not her most favorite person but this is so unfair just the night before sally 's big showing . rick says call it karma or bad luck . liam and steffy just glance at each other . rick says they should be looking around for someone to sue . both liam and steffy say it was probably a faulty electrical wiring as the building is so old .
ridge : how 's that feel ? this outfit is amazing . i love the movement , but it pulls the tiniest bit here . thorne : oh , yes . i can fix that . we hear congratulations are in order , thorne . thorne : for ? rumor has it you 're dating someone . seems serious . yeah . all the other girls are a wreck . ridge : yeah . i 'm here to confirm the bad news for all the single ladies in los angeles . my brother is officially off the market . katie : you 've given me no choice , bill . bill : i 've given you no choice ? i 've given you nothing but choice ! but will goes off on a play date and you serve me with custody papers ! katie : this is not gon na be easy for either one of us , but it is what 's best for our son . bill : really , katie ? so , it 's best for our son to take his father away from him because i 've been a little bit absent ? katie : that 's not what i 'm doing . i am not forbidding you from seeing will , but it can not go on like this , so i am changing the terms of our agreement . bill : whoa , whoa , whoa ! you can tear those up ! you think i 'm gon na let you arbitrarily change the terms of our agreement ? katie : this will be his home , his permanent home , as it has been for a long time . will needs stability and security , and he is not getting that from you , so i am re - establishing boundaries and taking charge . i 'm going after sole custody of our son . brooke : it 's not upsetting to you -- steffy and liam spending time together ? hope : mom , they 're new parents . kelly has a fever . it would be weird if liam was n't there . brooke : yes , it would be weird . he 's a very caring , sensitive father . but , honey , you two just had your first ultrasound . you 're seeing your baby for the very first time . and you 're in that glow , and then liam just rushes off to be with steffy . i mean , on some level , that has to be difficult for you . steffy : well , that 's a good sign . she 's able to stay asleep . liam : yeah . i mean , she still has a slight temperature , but hopefully the medicine will help . steffy : i know . it 's her first fever . oh , it 's our little baby , and i hate that she 's not feeling well . liam : i know . me , too . steffy : i 'm really glad that you 're here , liam . hey , there 's something i want to talk to you about . liam : steffy , what is it ? i mean , what -- what were you gon na say ? steffy : i just want you to understand something . liam : uh - huh . steffy : i want you to know exactly how i feel . thorne : thank you , ladies . ridge : how are things with katie ? thorne : great . you know , things are still new , but i like where it 's heading . ridge : i know you care about her and the kid . thorne : yeah . he 's a fantastic kid . all the more reason why i 'm trying to help katie do the right thing for will . katie : you have squandered precious time with your son , time that you 'll never be able to get back . bill : i 'm not letting you do this , katie . carter : you 're in violation of the current custody agreement , a legally binding contract -- bill : if you do it , you will regret it for the rest of your life . hope : mom , i trust my husband . and steffy has made it clear that she 's moved on with her life . i am not worried about them . brooke : and you should n't be . but , honey , i do worry about you . i mean , this is a very complicated situation . there 's a lot of emotions and expectations , and i 'm not saying that you guys ca n't work this out , because i 'm sure you can . but if you 're feeling something -- say , you 're frustrated or sad or mad or whatever it is you 're feeling -- you should be able to show it . you do n't have to be the cheerleader all the time , hope . hope : all right , fine . i 'm human . yes , it can bother me from time to time , but i am not going to be selfish . they have their family . brooke : of course . and you will , too . steffy : i made the choice to put myself and the baby first , and i still stand by that decision . you know , we spend our entire lives figuring out who we are , what we want instead of just living in the moment , you know ? taking the pieces that we have right now and building into something to be proud of . it 's never gon na be perfect , but ... these are my pieces . pieces that i 've earned and fought so hard for and i will do everything i possibly can to protect . i know who i am . and i know what 's best for myself and for kelly . liam : well , i 'm really proud of you , if i 'm even ... allowed to say that . steffy : [ chuckles ] thank you . liam : listen , you 're already one of the strongest people i knew , but it took a lot of courage to make this decision for yourself and for our daughter , and i think one day kelly is gon na grow up and she 's gon na be really proud of her mom . steffy : thank you . i appreciate that . [ clears throat ] liam : [ sighs ] steffy : even though i stand by my decision ... liam , my feelings for you -- they just ... have n't gone away . that 's all . thorne : you know , katie 's a dedicated mother . ridge : she 's a perfect example of what a parent should be , yes . thorne : i got a lot of respect for her -- all the time and energy she puts into raising will . she lives for that kid . ridge : and she has to go above and beyond 'cause she has to make up for spencer being that kid 's father . bill : boundaries ? how 'bout this for the first boundary ? you do n't ambush me with your lawyer ever again ! carter : you 've missed countless visits with your son , bill . it 's all documented . bill : i do n't want to hear anything you have to say , carter ! this is between katie and me , so beat it ! carter : katie is my client . katie : carter , it 's okay . i - i do have some things that i need to discuss with bill . carter : are you sure ? bill : you heard her ! time to go ! i 'm sure there 's somebody you have to represent on a parking ticket . katie : thank you for coming . carter : i 'll check in with you later . katie : okay . bill : okay . it 's just you and me now . i think we -- we know each other pretty well . will 's parents , his mom and dad , the people he needs most in the world , and you want to cut me out , katie ? that 's -- that 's just gon na screw him up even more . katie : no . i do n't want to cut you out . i am just taking control . i do n't see any other option . bill : no other options ? maybe if you just look around , you 'll see at least one ... me ... will 's dad . the only one he 's got . so we 'd better figure this out between us . because there 's no way in hell , -katie -- no way in hell -- that i 'm gon na let you take my kid from me . hope : it used to seem so far off , but it finally felt real , seeing the sonogram with liam . our baby 's gon na be here before we know it . brooke : you 're already madly in love . hope : and i ca n't even describe the feeling . i knew it would be intense , but i never imagined just how much joy and excitement -- oh ! i mean , just -- it -- it -- it 's a good reminder of what really matters . brooke : honey , this is what i want for you -- to enjoy every moment of this beautiful pregnancy . yes , of course you 're gon na have things that you worry about , but just do n't let that get ahold of you . this is what you wanted . you wanted to be married and have a baby , and you 've waited so long for this . and it 's finally here . you have a husband who adores you and a beautiful little baby on the way . [ laughs ] ohh . liam : all right . thank you so much , doctor . yeah , we will . yeah , and i 'll -- i 'll tell her . okay . thanks . bye . steffy : what did she say ? liam : uh , she said she thinks it 's fine . um , kelly 's temperature is n't high enough to panic , but keep an eye on it , and then if she 's not better in the morning , we can bring her in . steffy : really ? you do n't think we should bring her in today , just to be safe ? liam : i - i know , but i think if that were necessary , the doctor would have just said , `` bring her in . `` steffy : right . liam : listen , kelly 's gon na be fine , okay ? she 's gon na be back to her baby self in the morning . she 's gon na be screaming like a maniac for her mom and some milk . steffy : i know . you 're right . you 're right . babies get fevers . it 's fine . but she 's so tiny . liam : she 's so tiny . steffy : i know . liam : those little chubby cheeks are just so cute . steffy : i know , and her baby hair and the sweat on her forehead . liam : all right , i quit . i ca n't handle it . it 's too much . steffy : we did make a pretty adorable baby . liam : yeah , we did . tough cookie , too . steffy : yeah . [ chuckles softly ] i 'm really glad you 're here . liam : i 'm gon na stay as long as she needs me , honestly . steffy : kelly 's really lucky to have such a devoted father . ridge : i like the way this goes over , but i think it needs to be down here or this is never gon na fall like that . carter : katie did it . she filed for sole custody . thorne : wow . you , uh , handed bill the agreement ? carter : yeah . but i do n't think he 'll be agreeing to anything any time soon . he did n't take it very well . ridge : well , there 's a shocker . he 's a bull - headed baby . of course he won't . thorne : [ chuckles ] and how 's katie ? is she okay ? carter : well , she 's still talking to bill , but when i left , she stood her ground like nobody 's business . bill : you 're a good mother , katie , and i know you love our son and you want what 's best for him . but , what -- i 'm supposed to let you decide when and where i see my own kid ? katie : will does n't think you like him . bill : well , that 's ridiculous ! katie : well , that 's how he feels . bill : well , it 's not true ! you know it 's not true ! so let me hang out with him and i 'll prove to him that it 's not true . katie : well , you will hang out with him here , with me , according to the schedule that i 'm submitting . bill : visitation ? really ? what kind of message does that send , katie ? it 's only gon na make things worse . katie : he needs consistency , bill . bill : i 'll give him consistency ! katie : right now you will . what happens later ? come on , bill ! one missed weekend after another -- it has built up , and i can see him withdrawing . i can see the disappointment in his eyes -- in my beautiful , sweet boy 's eyes . bill : let me talk to him . let me talk to him , katie . he needs his father . if thorne -- if thorne thinks he 's gon na take my place , that ai n't gon na happen . in fact , i know this whole thing was his idea -- the threats , the attorney , the stupid freaking custody papers . tear 'em up , katie . tear 'em up for will 's sake ... and for your own sake . thorne : i 'm proud of katie for not backing down . carter : katie 's got no choice . bill 's been an absentee father for months . she 's doing what 's right for her son . ridge : spencer 's gon na make this as ugly as possible . she 's gon na need you . thorne : yeah , well , i 'll be there . i will do everything i can to protect katie and her son . katie : i never wanted this . i wanted us to be a family . but that 's not what you wanted . you stopped loving me , and i moved on . but will -- he never stopped needing you . he needs ... a patient , reliable father who gives a damn about him . bill : i do ! i 've made some mistakes , but i 'm gon na repair each and every one of them . katie : today ! what happens tomorrow ? what happens when a new conquest presents itself , some -- some justifiable priority ? no , bill . you have relinquished all responsibility to your son . i ca n't possibly believe that you 're sincere about this . he is hurting , bill . he 's vulnerable . he 's anxious . no , no . i - i got to put a stop to this before any more damage is done . bill : damage ? more da -- you do n't think this is gon na damage him ? katie , down the road , he 's gon na understand what happened . and he 's gon na blame you . he 's gon na resent you . katie : well , that is a risk i will have to take , and i hope that he understands that everything i do , i do for him . bill : well , this you are not doing . katie : you can not drift in and out of his life at your convenience ! he idolizes you ! do n't you get that ? ! he -- he thinks that you 're the coolest guy in the world . but that 's a fantasy . you do n't show up . he feels rejected . bill : maybe it 's you , katie . maybe you feel rejected . katie : you 're not gon na talk me out of this . bill : thorne put you up to it . katie : you know what ? thorne has been really supportive . but i made this decision all on my own . i 'm protecting my child . i 'm doing what 's best for him . bill : it 's the worst decision you could make , katie . you want to go to war with me ? it 's war you 're going to lose . liam : well ... kelly did n't feel as hot just now . steffy : yeah . she seems pretty content . liam : she 's sleeping -- i mean , she 's sleeping like a -- like a baby . [ both chuckle softly ] steffy : still scary . liam : yeah , i was a little more freaked out than i let on . steffy : you ? mr . calm and collected ? liam : [ laughing ] i am not calm and collected . hey , listen , high five , mom . we did it . we got through it -- baby 's first fever . steffy : yay ! we did ! liam : right ? yeah . they should hand out blue ribbons for that . steffy : [ laughs ] liam : or tequila . steffy : [ laughing ] yeah . listen , i meant what i said . i 'm still committed to focusing on kelly and my career , but that does n't mean i do n't still have feelings for you . it 's just -- it 's important that kelly sees us that way -- happy ... and loving with each other . it 's so important . i mean , you 're the father of my child . of course i 'm gon na love you . i 'll always love you . ah , sometimes i look at that photo , especially when i 'm holding kelly , and i remember when you -- when you forgave me . you were coming home , and ... you sent all the flowers and the messages in the cards . wow . liam : [ sighs ] steffy : if bill had n't interfered ... if only things ended up differently . hope : liam ... i 'm pregnant . liam : i love you . hope : i love you . [ gasps ] [ breathing heavily ] ow . oh , please , not again . not again . not again . [ crying ] oh , please . [ crying ]	katie tells bill that he is giving her no choice . he grouses that she always has a choice and she is just taking away his son for not seeing him as much as he used to . she says will needs stability and she is taking control of that by going for full custody . kelly has a fever and liam rushes off to be with her and steffy . hope tells brooke who thinks this is a bit much since they just saw their first ultrasound and now he is rushing off . hope says she is not worried about liam . brooke says okay but if she is feeling sad or lonely she should not be afraid to show it . ridge announces to the models that thorne is now officially off the single 's market . he tells ridge that katie is special and he wants to help her with will since his own father is not there . they will fight him for full custody . she lives for that kid . bill tells carter to beat it ; this is between him and katie , so go help someone with a parking ticket . he tells katie they know each other pretty well . she can not just throw him out . she says she has no other options . he says just look at him ; he is the dad , the only one will is gon na have so they better figure this out . steffy tells liam that nothing is ever going to be perfect but she knows what is best for her and kelly . he tells her that he thinks she is great to make this decision . she says she is glad he is here . he talks to the doctor who assures her there is probably no reason to bring kelly in . give it a night and she will most likely be okay in the morning .
ridge : a little early for bed , huh ? brooke : i 'm just taking a little nap . ridge : you or r.j. ? brooke : both of us . but i think i needed it more than he did . ridge : any word on rick ? brooke : he 's getting out of the hospital first thing in the morning . ridge : oh , that 's good news . brooke : mm - hmm . we have n't had a lot of that around in the last few weeks . ridge : no . which is why i decided we need a vacation . brooke : we 're going somewhere ? ridge : i owe you a honeymoon . brooke : oh -- but i ca n't leave r.j . ridge : are you kidding ? we 're going to take him with us . brooke : we just got back from visiting the family . he needs to get back on schedule . ridge : this little jet - setter ? he 's going to be a world traveler before he 's out of diapers . starting right now . brooke : we 're going somewhere tonight ? ridge : that 's right . and the first stop -- is brazil . eric : this was n't supposed to be a difficult time , you know . ridge and brooke are back together , and all my sons working together at forrester , felicia back in town . i really thought it was the beginning of a new era . but now , instead , thorne is working over at spectra , and i find out that felicia has a drug problem ? stephanie : have you spoken to her ? eric : no , no , i have n't . every time i 've gone over to see her , she 's not there . but ridge says he has n't seen anything to worry him . stephanie : eric , when she was here at the house with me , i could see that something was very wrong . she needs help . the problem is , as always the case with felicia , is trying to convince her of that . felicia : i do n't want to die , nick . nick : well , me either . but i 'm not going to waste time worrying about it . felicia : you do n't have cancer . nick : right now , neither do you . felicia : well , it could come back . nick : it ai n't happening today . felicia : look , nick , i 'm just not ready to get involved with anyone . nick : do you think i am ? felicia : no . no , i knew you were n't , that 's why i picked you . 'cause i wanted to keep it simple . nick : i like that . `` simple . `` 'cause a couple months ago , i was on the altar with a woman that i loved . and a new little daughter and a little boy on the way . and i lost all of that . felicia : and you do n't want to lose anything else . nick : not really . but you know what they say . nothing ventured -- [ felicia sighs ] nick : you know , you 're probably right . this is crazy . i mean , crazy 's the right word . you might as well just give it back . felicia : what ? nick : the life preserver . give it back . felicia : i should go . nick : whatever you want . felicia : it 's for the best . stephanie : she 's avoiding us . eric : but she 's still here in town . stephanie : for now . eric : even after you confronted her about the pills , she did n't leave . stephanie : we may have nick to thank for that . eric : nick ? how close are they ? stephanie : they seem to spend a lot of time together . eric : at least she 's not alone . stephanie : that 's true , but i 'm not so sure he 's the right one for her , the right choice for her . i mean , he 's on the rebound . he just walked away from this serious involvement with brooke -- honey , if felicia is going to address whatever problem she has , she has to have someone she can depend on . i 'm not so sure that he 's -- emotionally available . i 'm not so sure that he could be there for her . nick : forget something ? felicia : no . nick : if you think that i 'm going to chase after you -- felicia : i do n't . especially after the number that brooke pulled on you . i mean , do n't you wish she would have walked away before you got in too deep ? nick : no . felicia : so , this is your first time ? getting dumped , i mean . nick : do you have to put it that way ? felicia : i 'm going to take that as a yes . nick : i 've never been very big on relationships . felicia : not the romantic type . nick : well , there 's nothing very romantic about being gutted like a fish . felicia : i 've never heard it -- put quite that way before . i do know what you 're talking about . 'cause i 've been there . nick : well , of course . you always dump first , do n't you ? you dump them first . tell me . huh ? felicia : well , sometimes i 'm not quick enough on the draw . nick : you probably had a lot of relationships , have n't you ? felicia : well -- not for a while . nick : okay . how long ? felicia : well , there was someone , but when i got really sick -- well , he could n't handle it . so , since then i 've figured , you know , what 's the point of feeling anything , wanting anything ? you know ? it 's just more to lose . nick : what about now ? ridge : that 's it . feel that brazilian beat . [ brooke laughs ] ridge : how do you like that ? yes siree . he likes it , he likes it . okay , close your eyes . close your eyes , see us lounging in rio . visualize that , okay ? just keep your eyes closed , visualize . visualize us walking on that street in front of panama beach . hear those sounds , the music coming out of all the shops and oh , oh , the smells . can you smell that ? brooke : what is that ? ridge : that is fried plantains with cinnamon and honey ! brooke : and that 's not all . this is a feast ! catherine : want me to take r.j. ? ridge : no , i think we 're going to keep him with us , thank you . thank you , catherine . right , you just try one of these . try that . how is that , huh ? brooke : mm ! mm , heavenly . ridge : fasten your seatbelt , missy , because this is only the start . i 'm going to take you places you 've only imagined . brooke : well , we 've been to brazil . where do we go next ? ridge : wherever your heart desires . brooke : why do n't we ask r.j. ? if he wakes up . do you want to go to india ? oh , i know . maybe belgium , huh ? not belgium . ah , greece . yeah , yeah , that 's it . i think he likes the colors . ridge : he 's got his daddy 's eye for beauty . brooke : and his mother 's love of the ocean . ridge : but that 's not all greece has to offer . no , no , no . brooke : stuffed grape leaves . ridge : mm - hmm . try that . brooke : mm . ridge : mm . so fresh , you can taste the mediterranean breeze . mm , mm , mm . but greece would n't be complete without a trip to the beautiful island of santorini and some kefalotiri . brooke : from miklos ' farm ? ridge : he sends his best . try this one . brooke : mm . ridge : yes . mm , mm , mm . now , julian sent a little something along as well . we 're talking belgium , we 're talking flourless torte made from the finest dark chocolate in the world ! brooke : ohh ! now that is my favorite part about traveling . ridge : try this . [ laughing ] brooke : mm , you 've really got to try that . ridge : oh , yeah . getting light headed ? you know what this reminds me of ? brooke : our wedding night , puerto vista . ridge : when we had that chocolate for good luck . brooke : well , hopefully , this turns out better . ridge : you do n't have to worry about that . because everything is just as it should be . all you have to do , my dear , is sit back and relax and enjoy it . brooke : believe me , i intend to . eric : so you 're saying that if nick and felicia were romantically involved , you would n't approve of that ? stephanie : well , it 's nothing against him . it 's just this whole rebound situation with brooke . is he ready for some sort of serious relationship ? and look at felicia . look at the way she 's lived her whole life . i mean , just always on the go , always moving around . eric : well , they have that in common . maybe he understands her , maybe that 's why she 's letting him in . stephanie : wait a minute -- you 'd be all right with this ? her becoming involved with massimo 's son ? [ eric sighs ] eric : look , if he really cares about her , that 's the only thing that matters to me . stephanie : well , then , maybe the help can come from nick . she certainly is n't going to accept it from us . felicia : nick , i 'm scared . nick : of me ? felicia : of this . i do n't think i can do this . nick : 'cause you do n't want to do it ? felicia : oh , i do . it 's just been so long -- i ca n't . i ca n't . nick : yes , you can . we 're going to bring you back to life . felicia : thank you , nick . nick : well , i do aim to please . felicia : and you succeeded brilliantly . nick : you almost sound surprised . felicia : no , no do n't take that personally . it 's just -- you know , i 've been at war with my own body for so long . i mean , cancer 's not like other diseases . you know , it 's not like your fighting some alien invader , or some virus or time bomb your parents left in your genes . you 're fighting yourself . my body was the enemy , it was letting me down . nick : did n't let you down tonight . felicia : no , it did n't . and neither did you . nick : looks like we 've created a monster . felicia : you have no one to blame but yourself . you were so determined , were n't you ? to bring me back to the land of the living . nick : you did the same for me . felicia : really ? so , i was a positive influence ? that may be a first . you better be careful , nick marone .

[ scene_break ] brooke : was anyone listening when i told you to -- explicitly not to get personally involved ? obviously not . because you paraded yourselves around on national television like two moonstruck teenagers . ridge : well , i 'm sorry it looked that way to you . donna : brooke , with all due respect , you ca n't tell me who i can -- brooke : donna , please . this really does n't concern you . donna : oh , really ? i think it does . brooke : did you think you were going to make me jealous , ridge ? so i 'd come back to you ? ridge : brooke , that was n't my purpose . your sister and i -- brooke : do n't bring donna into this ! ridge : but she is into it ! and i 'm into her ! this is no stunt . brooke : what are you talking about ? you are the king of stunts . ridge : maybe , when it comes to trying to prevent you from marrying nick . but that did n't work . you married him anyway , did n't you ? brooke : oh , i see . so this is payback ? ridge : no , brooke . this is my life . i 'm just trying to live it . brooke : oh , really ? ridge : this is n't about you anymore , brooke . it 's about a warm , wonderful exciting woman who 's bringing a little joy into my life , revving up my creativity . donna : brooke , i 'm not trying to hurt you . no one is . brooke : donna , could you just please leave for a moment while i talk to ridge alone ? just get out !

[ door closes ] liam : i know you ca n't -- you ca n't , like , encourage me . but i 'm here to encourage you . we will be together . you just have to refuse to be beaten , refuse to compromise with quinn . steffy : that 's not even a temptation . liam : you stay true to that decision , and sooner or later , a door is gon na open . and all you have to do is walk through it . i 'll be on the other side . steffy : all right . liam : tell me you 'll hold on . steffy : i can hold on . quinn : i was awake all night thinking about the uphill battle i 'm facing here . ivy : you 're single - handedly running an entire department . i mean , i heard that wyatt 's back at spencer . quinn : it - it 's not that , 'cause you know what kind of a workhorse i am . [ sighs ] for me , the challenge is not to go backwards . ivy : backwards in -- in what sense ? quinn : we 're always changing , right ? we 're always growing , seeing how high we can fly . ivy : well , i 'm all for that . quinn : i really like your spirit , ivy . i think it 's entirely possible that you could be very useful to me . [ knock on door ] katie : hi . ridge : hey . katie : um , am i disturbing you ? ridge : you 're not disturbing me . yeah . come on in . how are you ? katie : um , [ chuckles ] i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm good . is brooke here ? ridge : she was . how are you ? katie : ah , you know . yes , it 's official . bill and i have signed many , many , many pages of documents . ridge : so , would it be insensitive to say `` congratulations `` ? katie : [ chuckles ] a little . or not . um , seriously , uh , brooke -- is she working today ? oh . right . i guess she was summoned by bill , huh ? sorry . i 'm still in my legal frame of mind . ridge : summoned . yeah , something like that . katie : what did you have to say about that ? ridge : i was n't asked to comment . katie : well , she 's single . and you 're single . and bill 's not legally single yet , so ... are you really willing to let nature take its course with them ? bill : it 's okay . we 're alone . brooke : should i even be here ? bill : [ sighs ] absolutely . it was good . it was what we needed . there was respect . there was even affection . it felt like forgiveness . no , i did not give away my shares in forrester . brooke : is katie okay ? bill : yeah . she is . really , brooke . look , she was destroying herself . you know that . you saw it . katie needed out , and she knows that . there was even acknowledgement that my future is with you . brooke : [ sighs ] bill , i - i think it 's too early to be talking about that . bill : oh , come on , brooke . the -- the hell it is . we 're not gon na wait for appearance 's sake . we 're not going to hide . we 're not going to tiptoe around the ashes of my marriage . we ca n't be afraid to reach for what we both wanted . i love you . and it 's like no other kind of love . so , do n't ask me to be patient . do n't ask me to be decent . i need you . i need you like i need my hands , like i need my eyes . do n't ask me to be a better person . 'cause i can only be that if i have you .	steffy opens the door and asks liam how did he know . he is bearing coffee and some food . he says he does not feel he is home yet but being together like this does . bill ushers katie in and offers her breakfast . she declines and says all the papers look okay and she is ready to sign but not to celebrate . and she asks if there is a problem with brooke and do these have to signed today . she starts to tear up and he says she is a good person and brought a lot of good things to his life but they were not good as husband and wife . after a few tears she says she is ready to sign . they try to act casual and she says they can put it in the `` it is the thought that counts `` category . she starts to walk away and turns and says she has thoughts too , good memories . she takes off her rings and takes his hand and wraps them in it . wyatt rants at quinn to stay out of his life . his wife does not want to see her face again . that will make her happy , so just go away . get out of eric 's life while she can ; quit pretending that she is in love with him . steffy tells liam that she lost faith in him so she is not innocent in all of this . he says it is okay ; he is there to help her find it again . ridge was hoping to see brooke but finds quinn instead and he quickly gets out of the office after leaving wyatt a wad of money to take his mother out to breakfast , lunch and supper , just go . quinn tells wyatt to just trust her ; he will not lose steffy .
thomas : sally ... sally : i know . i know you 're dealing with a lot -- caroline and your son . now this . but to have you here when i need you most ... tell me you 're back , thomas . for good . steffy : no doubt about it , bill spencer 's a complicated man . just when you think you got him figured out ... liam : ... he does something to remind you that you do n't and you never will ? brooke : the way you say that ... are you and your father at odds about something ? liam : why would you ask that ? brooke : just a moment ago , steffy was saying how bill is going to have his skyscraper built because of the spectra fire , and you said it 's not necessarily a sure thing . do you know something i do n't ? bill : i realize this has been hard on you . caroline : [ laughing ] hard ? this is eating me alive , uncle bill . yes , thomas and douglas and i have bonded as a family , but the second that he heard about sally and spectra , he could n't jump on a plane fast enough . i think that says a lot , do n't you ? liam : i 've just learned that nothing in life is for certain , you know ? until it is . brooke : well , i do n't see what could possibly derail bill 's plans now . it 's true -- if c.j . did n't let the insurance on the building lapse , spectra could have rebuilt , but barring something unforeseen ... liam : which i would n't rule out . i mean , you know , on a project this big . brooke : bill 's more determined now than ever to see his skyscraper built . i was with him earlier . i saw the fire in his eyes . he 's a good man , but when it comes to business and to making things happen , he can be ruthless . liam : yeah . that 's an understatement . caroline : i do n't know what thomas is gon na do . bill : you were on a plane with him for hours ! he must have said something . caroline : yeah , just that he 's worried about sally and how she 's gon na come back from this . how does she come back from this ? bill : who cares ? as long as she does n't drag mr . knight in shining armor into it ! i mean , the guy lives to rescue damsels in distress . the good news is , your ... dying trumps her burned - down building . but if she were to ... what ? caroline : the spectra building . now with the fire , what happens next ? bill : i , um ... i get a big dust pan , i sweep up the ashes , and fast - track my project . caroline : what if they want to rebuild with the insurance money ? bill : c.j . screwed up , did n't renew the policy . why are you looking at me like that ? caroline : the fire that destroyed spectra ... you do n't know more about that than you 're letting on , do you ? saul : hi . thomas still in there with sally ? shirley : yeah . it 's a good sign , is n't it ? sally : i do n't mean to pressure you . it 's just -- i 've missed you so much . i almost hopped on a plane so many times to new york just to catch a glimpse of you take your little boy to the park . that 's so silly , i know . thomas : no . no . it 's not . i 've hated being away . but the time that i 've had to spend with caroline and my son as a family ... knowing i can do that with what little time we have left ... that is only possible because of the way you love me . it 's no wonder i fell head over heels for you . brooke : i realize that you do n't always agree with your father 's tactics , but i 'm his wife . i 'm not an officer in the company . liam : does that mean you always support my dad , no matter what he does ? brooke : no . we do n't have a marriage like that . steffy : and neither do we . sometimes we agree to disagree . brooke : yeah . bill and i are like that , too . but i have to admit , he is the most single - minded man i 've ever met . it is a shame , however , that bill 's skyscraper is being built because of the spectra fire , but that 's not your father 's fault . sally 's bad luck is bill 's good luck . bill : i ca n't believe you 're seriously asking me that . caroline : spectra fashions is wiped off of the map . how does sally rebuild without any insurance ? bill : she doesn't . not by her lonesome . but if thomas decides to jump in and be superhero ... you better get over to that hospital and see what 's going on . we both have a lot to lose . caroline : no . bill : what do you mean , no ? caroline : just because thomas is living with me in new york does n't mean that his feelings for sally have disappeared . he still cares about her a lot . bill : well , he 's gon na care a lot more when he sees her in that hospital bed . the pitiful victim . next thing you know he 's nursing sally and her nonexistent company back to health . then where will you be ? caroline : i think the better question is where will you be if you 're responsible for that fire ? which is something that you still have not denied . bill : you want me to deny it ? fine . but before i do , you need to know that the electrical wiring in that building was shot . i mean , it 's a miracle that it had n't gone up well before ! hell , it almost did when liam and jarrett were there for the exclusive fashion preview ! in fact , if liam had n't jumped in with a fire extinguisher , poof ! so it 's a miracle it had n't happened already . but if you want to hear me say the words ... no . i did not torch spectra . satisfied ? sally : i fell hard , too . even though we were the most unlikely couple ever . thomas : yeah . yeah . they do say opposites attract , though . plus , i feel like i kind of came into my own , designing and partnering with sally spectra . sally : oh , right . thomas : yeah . sally : yes , 'cause , you know , i taught you everything you know about fashion . me , sally spectra , the boisterous redhead with big dreams . thomas : there 's nothing wrong with big dreams . sally : yeah , until your biggest one goes up in smoke . literally . i worked so hard on that collection , thomas . i did n't even know if i could do it . i mean , when i did n't believe in myself , but i -- i just kept hearing you telling me that i could . thomas : this does n't have to be the end , sally . look at me . hey . hey . you can start over . sally : yeah , if c.j . had n't forgotten to pay the insurance bill . thomas : he what ? sally : there 's no money to rebuild with . now you know why i 'm so bummed . unless ... you will be here facing it with me . you are here to stay ... ? thomas : caroline is dying . i have to be in new york with her and my son . liam : i just came so close to telling brooke right now ... steffy : i know . i saw . i ca n't believe your dad 's responsible , but telling brooke would just complicate things even more . liam : my dad complicated things when he decided to set fire to spectra ! i mean , the building 's in ruins , sally 's in the hospital . lives have been decimated . steffy : i know , it 's awful . liam : and my dad just la , de - da , de - da goes on his merry way . how am i supposed to -- how am i supposed to sit back and watch this knowing what i know ? i do n't think i can do that , steffy . i do n't think i can just let my dad get away with it this time . bill : there . you have your answer . my hands are clean . now , do n't freakin ' bring this up to me again , or anyone else for that matter . do you understand ? and besides , you need to be focused on thomas . making sure that sally is n't making any inroads , playing on his sympathies . get him back on that plane ! back to the life and family you 're creating in new york . that 's been the plan all along . to make sure that thomas is fully committed to you and douglas . then you 'll have your miraculous recovery . caroline , it is within your reach . can you keep doing what you 're doing just a little while longer ? caroline : what if i ca n't ? bill : then you 'll be giving back the father of your son to sally spectra . thomas , the man you love , will be lost to you forever . can you live with that ? thomas : i 'm sorry . i want to be here for you , i do , but it 's exactly like what you said . there is so much going on with caroline and douglas . sally : [ sighs ] thomas : my son is gon na lose his mother . sally : i know . i know , and you should be there with them . but at the same time ... thomas : you need me here . i get it . sally : i 'm scared , thomas . i 'm scared about the future , that i ca n't bounce back from this . my company is gone , my entire line is in ashes , and even if i had the resources to rebuild ... [ voice breaking ] i would n't even know where to start . thomas : i will tell you exactly where to start . you pick up that pen and that sketchpad , and that 's where you start . that fire did not take away who you are , did not take away your creativity and your drive and your passion . you are spectra fashions . i believe that without a doubt . you have to believe that . sally : i love you so much . thomas : i ca n't stay . sally : [ sniffles ] i understand . steffy : i do n't condone what bill did . it 's criminal . but , liam , he is your father . liam : so , what , i 'm just supposed to look the other way 'cause he 's family ? he committed a crime . people could have gotten hurt . even the great and powerful bill spencer should n't be above the law . steffy : hey , look , i do n't disagree with you , but you are a spencer , and he is your father . he could go to jail for a very long time . do you want to do this to him ? do you want to destroy your relationship with him , with wyatt , with will ? possibly forever . shirley : we saw thomas leave . saul : is he going back to new york ? sally : mm - hmm . shirley : why ? what possible reason could he have to desert you and spectra at a time like this ? saul : it does n't make sense . sally : it does to me . shirley : sally , there 's something you 're not telling us . saul : we just want to help you . sally : i know . and i love you both for that . but thomas needs to be with douglas and caroline right now . [ voice breaking ] i do n't know when i 'm gon na see him again . and it hurts . it hurts so much . [ sobbing ] shirley : it 's gon na be okay . it 's gon na be okay . bill : i 'm not trying to force you , caroline . i 'm just asking if you 're gon na go through with it , or are n't you ? [ door opens ] thomas : look who i found . bill : hey ! thomas : just before alison gave him another scoop of ice cream , as well . bill : nothing makes kids happier than ice cream . thomas : right ? hey , uh , do you have the bag with the wipes and everything in it ? caroline : uh , yeah . thomas : hey , hey , hey , hey . take it easy . rest . it 's okay . i got it . bill : yeah , that 's what i 've been telling her , among other things . caroline : how 's sally ? thomas : she is ... good . spectra , on the other hand , is a different story . caroline : the whole thing went up ? thomas : yeah . bill : they still think it 's faulty wiring ? thomas : as far as i know , yeah . i 'm glad i 'm back , though . i 've never seen sally like this . it 's like her whole world is crashing in on her , and ... i just feel like she really needs me . bill : does that mean you 're gon na stick around ? thomas : [ exhales sharply ] no . i told her that i 'm gon na go back to new york with caroline and douglas . bill : good decision . the right decision . caroline : are you sure ? it sounds like sally 's in a really bad place . bill : she has a family . just like you have a family with thomas and douglas . thomas : uh , hey , we should probably get going to the airport . are you sure that you 're up for the ride back ? caroline : yeah . i 'm fine . thomas : you mind if have a moment alone with my niece ? thomas : yeah , um , we will go wait downstairs , and this big guy is gon na go flirt with all the receptionists , are n't you ? bill : [ laughs ] see you later , buddy . thomas : say `` bye ! `` bye . douglas : so long ! thomas : [ chuckles ] bill : thomas wants to be with you , caroline . i 'm sure sally did everything she could to get him to stay , but he 's going home with you and your son . caroline : god ! how do you still not get it ? bill : what ? caroline : this whole act , this charade is not me ! maybe you can lie and have it not eat you up on the inside , but i am not you ! bill : i 'm not twisting your arm . caroline : of course you are . you 're manipulating me , and i 'm manipulating thomas , and for what ? you say it 's about helping me , but we both know it 's about helping yourself . and this -- this is what it 's been about from the beginning ! your stupid skyscraper ! this building ! it 's not about me and it 's not about douglas . it 's about this damn skyscraper .	sally says she needs to know if thomas is back for good . brooke picks up on something liam says and wonders if he knows something that she does n't about his dad . liam mumbles that he has learned that nothing in life is always the way they think it is . brooke says she was with bill earlier and he is more determined than ever to see his sky go skyward . liam wonders if she goes along with bill no matter what he does . she says no they do not have that kind of marriage . liam and steffy continue to throw glances at each other not saying what is on their minds . bill tries to convince caroline that thomas came back but only to see sally and he will return to his family . he starts talking about his sky and caroline wonders if bill knows more than he is saying . he tells her she better get over there and see where she stands with thomas . she says no . she wants to know his involvement in spectra being torched . he says the fire could have broken out any time as it almost did with jarrett and liam on spectra 's preview showing , so he will state for her that he did not torch spectra . he hopes she is satisfied . as sally pleads with thomas to say he is going to stay and help her since cj did not have insurance , he replies that she knows caroline is dying and he has to be with her in new york with his son . he wants to be with sally but he just ca n't . she cries that she is scared for her future and she is afraid she can not bounce back . he tells her she can . the fire did not take away who she is . she has passion ; she is spectra fashions so she needs to pick up that pen again and get started . they kiss and one last time he says he can not stay .and she understands .
nick : morning . felicia : why are you looking at me like that ? is it my hair ? nick : it 's the hair , it 's the eyes , it 's the jaw line -- you look even more like your brother when you 're asleep . felicia : is this your way of telling me to get out ? nick : no . no , no , no . i 'm just thinking , that 's all . just thinking . felicia : about ridge ? nick : first i 'm with his wife , now i 'm with his sister . you know , people may begin to think i have a bit of a problem . felicia : well , you 're going to have a problem with me if you keep talking like this . nick : okay , shh . do n't want to be on your bad side . felicia : it was fun . nick : fun ? that 's it ? i was thinking more earth - shattering or life affirming , but fun 's good , too . felicia : nick -- nick : no , it 's all right . do n't worry about me . i 'm fine . felicia : look at me . i think you know what last night meant to me . thank you . nick : anytime . and i do mean that . felicia : i do n't know , i mean -- maybe we should just quit while we 're ahead , you know ? just leave this as it was , you know , like the perfect memory . nick : hmm , just two ships passing in the night . i like that . thomas : your mom told me you were home . rick : got released this morning . thomas : how you feeling ? rick : okay . thomas : you need anything ? rick : no , mom 's got the kitchen pretty well stocked . thomas : yeah , she 's been really worried about you . rick : look , thomas , if you came here to apologize -- thomas : apologize ? rick : well , for what happened . thomas : you blame me ? rick : why would i blame you ? all you did was tell hector i 've been seducing his daughter . thomas : i did n't tell him to hit you with his car . rick : you knew how he 'd react . thomas : i just told the truth , rick . rick : so you do n't feel any responsibility at all ? thomas : you know what ? i 'm not the one who lured caitlin into bed . if you someone to blame for this , look into the mirror . [ knock on door ] hector : caty ? honey , we have to talk . caitlin : i have nothing to say to you . hector : well , there 's a lot that i have to say to you . caitlin : you have already made yourself very clear . hector : look -- at the hospital , i was upset . caitlin : we all were . rick could have been killed . hector : i never meant to hurt him . do you believe me ? caitlin : yes . hector : i do n't want to fight with you anymore . caitlin : i do n't want that , either . i hate arguing like this . hector : okay , so let 's not , all right ? caitlin : okay . hector : let 's just have a calm and rational discussion . caitlin : about rick ? can you do that ? hector : yeah . maybe not , honey . can we just talk about you ? can we talk about your goals , your future ? caitlin : then we are talking about rick . because he 's going to be part of that future . [ cell phone rings ] felicia : oh , ignore it . it 's mine . nick : could be important , though . do n't you think ? felicia : oh , i do n't care . [ phone still ringing ] nick : could be your doctor with some more good news . here . felicia : hello ? stephanie : good morning , felicia . felicia : well , mother . stephanie : you all right ? you sound a little out of breath . felicia : uh , no . i was just getting in my morning workout . could i call you back ? stephanie : well , actually , i called because i thought you might come to the house for lunch . felicia : lunch ? oh , i do n't know . i really have plans for today . nick : your schedule just loosened up . felicia : what is it that you wanted to talk to me about ? stephanie : well , the last time you were here , i mean , it was -- it did n't go particularly well . felicia : oh , right , when you accused me of being a drug addict . oh , please do n't tell me this is some kind of intervention . stephanie : no . i just wanted to see you , see what 's going on in your life . felicia : okay , all right . i 'll be there soon , okay ? bye . happy ? nick : well , you should be . sounds like she 's reaching out to you . felicia : she just wants to interrogate me . nick : well then , tell her the truth . maybe you 'll make her feel bad for calling you an addict . felicia : nah . she 'll probably just bite my head off for not telling her sooner . i mean , i ca n't even do cancer right . nick : well , maybe she 'll surprise you . you know , you got a second chance . maybe you should give your mom one . rick : first off , i did n't `` lure `` caitlin into bed . thomas : i was here , remember ? right after she left . you were all suave out in your robe . rick : not that it 's any of your business , but nothing happened . thomas : because she got busted . rick : because she was n't ready . thomas : guess you 're not as smooth as you thought . rick : i was the one who stopped it . you do n't get it , do you , thomas ? you think this all about sex , but it 's not . we 're in love . and i 'm not saying that to hurt you . thomas : why would it hurt me ? i 've moved on . rick : with amber ? thomas : that 's right . i 'm fine with you and caitlin . hector 's the one you got to worry about . rick : well , i 'm not worried about him . caitlin and i want to be together , and we will be . and there 's nothing he or anybody else can do to stop that . hector : you and rick have n't known each other very long . caitlin : how long did it take you to figure out mom was the one ? hector : i know that you think that scores you points -- comparing your situation with ours . caitlin : no , dad . it 's not about points . i 'm trying to get through to you . make you understand . it never used to be this hard . hector : you never lied to me before . caitlin : well , i did n't have to lie to mom . she understood where i was coming from . she trusted my judgment . hector : your mother was scared to death , caty . scared she would lose you . and you took advantage of that . caitlin : no -- hector : yeah , and you put pressure on her relationship with me , honey . caitlin : i 'm sorry about that . are you guys okay ? hector : we 're fine . you know , but keeping this from me was wrong . i understand why she did it , you know ? she thought you would think that she was a hypocrite . she did n't realize that being a parent , you ca n't worry about that . you have to do what 's right for your children , no matter what . even if it means that they might hate you for it . stephanie : felicia , you came . felicia : well , i said i would . stephanie : well , i know , but i was n't sure . felicia : oh , whether you 're druggie flake of a daughter would actually show ? well , here i am . wow ! stephanie : felicia -- felicia : maybe we should just , you know , go and eat . or maybe you want to search my belongings first , we could get that out of the way . no ? stephanie : you did n't have to come . felicia : are you sorry i did ? stephanie : no , i wanted to see you . but you 're just so defensive about everything , it gets a little heavy . look , i promise -- i 'll tell you what . you promise me that you 'll back off and i promise i wo n't attack . i 'm very happy that you came here . your dad and i have been very worried about you . felicia : great . here comes the inquisition . stephanie : no , no , no , no . look , i -- i want to know what 's going on in your life . but i 'm certainly not going to pry . i want you to stay . felicia : just to talk ? stephanie : yeah . something we should have done a long time ago . more of . felicia , what 's done is done . no sense in trying to rehash the past . felicia : wow , this is new . stephanie : i 'm trying . felicia : 'cause you 're scared . you 're afraid of what i might try to do to myself . there 's no need . stephanie : felicia , look -- i know i have n't been , in your opinion , the best mother . i mean , i 've come to understand that in recent days . but i 'm still worried about you . felicia : i 'm trying to tell you that you do n't have to . stephanie : your dad and i -- well , i mean , the family -- we want to help you . felicia : mother , there 's something that i have to tell you . i 've been lying to you , to everybody . you know , about the whole glamorous life in europe , the friends , the boyfriends , the partying around the continent -- that all ended a long time ago . i did not come home because i did n't want to . i did n't come home because there was something that i had to take care of for myself . there 's something that i had to deal with on my own . and that is that i was preparing myself to die . thomas : oh , right , yeah . it 's you and caitlin against the world . rick : we 're not `` against `` anybody . thomas : she did n't used to be , you know ? you turned her against her own father , had her lying to him . rick : oh , come on , man . who are you kidding ? you did n't rat us out to protect caitlin , you did it to get back at me because you were hurt that i stole your girlfriend -- thomas : it 's got nothing to do with that . rick : -- and i understand . thomas : you understand nothing . i went to hector to make the point that you and caitlin is no different than amber and me . and you 're a huge hypocrite for coming down on us . rick : and it did n't even occur to you that if hector would n't let me see her , caitlin would be available ? thomas : no . rick : of course not . because she 's not going to be available . no matter what hector does -- so all these things that your doing to get over the hurt -- hooking up with amber , trying to break caitlin and i apart -- thomas : you do n't know what you 're talking about . rick : they wo n't work . all you 're doing is pushing away the people that care about you the most . your dad , my mom , me , caitlin . she cares about you , thomas , she really likes you . it 's just , it 's not love . and it 's not her fault , okay ? she ca n't help it . so give her a break . give us all a break , just learn to accept it . hector : i know you think i 'm trying to ruin your life . caitlin : no , i do n't think that . you were just trying to protect me . you just way , way overboard . hector : yeah . i know . i never should have raced out of here like that . caitlin : and i never should have said the things that i did . you were just , you were driving me so nuts . you know , everybody else thinks of me as an adult . everybody else has faith in me . except you , the one person whose opinion matters more than anything . hector : by `` everyone else , `` you mean rick , his family , his fashion world . yeah , it 's true , i see differently . caitlin : yeah , as a little girl . hector : as my reason for living . caty , i wish i could explain it to you , honey . what it 's like to have a child , how it changes you . especially me . you 're all i 've ever had . from the first moment i held you , every decision i made -- where we lived , where i worked , what i drive , what i read , when we ate , who my friends were -- all of it came down to one thing -- was it best for you , honey ? because i knew , from the very beginning , how special you were . and what great things you were going to do with your life if i could just keep you safe . no one was ever going to hurt you , or take advantage of you , or your sweetness , or your innocence -- caitlin : and no one has . dad . hector : my baby . caitlin : i knew you 'd be worried . that 's why i did n't tell you that i was dating rick . but i should have and i 'm sorry . hector : and , i 'm sorry , too . about the way i reacted . caitlin : i understand . hector : do you ? caitlin : yes . can we just put this all behind us ? hector : there 's nothing i would like better . can you do that , too ? caitlin : yeah . i want us to start over . do things the way we should have , from the beginning . hector : okay . caitlin : you know , maybe i could invite rick over for dinner ? hector : caitlin ? caitlin : dad , the sooner you get to know him , the sooner -- hector : i do n't want to get to know him . caitlin : well then , how else are we going to put this all behind us ? hector : no , no . we 're going to put rick behind us , and this job . caitlin : you just said you were sorry . hector : i said i was sorry about the way i reacted . but this relationship is completely inappropriate for a girl your age . caitlin : you have n't changed your mind at all ! you wo n't even consider the possibility that -- hector : caitlin , caitlin -- we tried this your way , remember ? you said you could be trusted , that you could handle the responsibility . caitlin : and i can . hector : no . you are going to be a normal high school student , dating boys your own age . caitlin : no , i 'll move out first . do you understand ? i am not giving up rick or my job . hector : caitlin -- caitlin : no , if you wo n't listen to me , if you do n't care about how i feel , then why should i listen to you ? stephanie : preparing to die ? felicia : i know you 're going to be upset with me for not telling you sooner -- stephanie : no ! felicia : i just -- this was just something that i really felt that i needed to handle on my own . stephanie : but you 've come home , now , because you did n't want to be alone ? felicia : yeah . i needed my mother . stephanie : oh , felicia , honey . i would have been there . i would have . why did n't you call me ? felicia : i wanted to , so many times when i was laying in the hospital . stephanie : in the hospital ? so , you got treatment ? felicia : yes . stephanie : but it did n't help ? felicia : no , no , it has . i 'm just not done yet . i have a long road ahead of me . stephanie : i know , i know . and your father and i will be with you , every step , i promise . we 'll get you into the very best rehab possible . felicia : no , no . i do n't need rehab . mother , i 'm ill . stephanie : i know . felicia : no , no , no . you do n't understand . the pills that you think i 'm taking are not killing me . they 're keeping me alive . stephanie : what ? felicia : i 'm not a drug addict , mom . i 'm a cancer patient . i have cancer .	nick and felicia wake up in bed on his boat . they kiss but are interrupted by her phone ringing . stephanie invites felicia to lunch . felicia is reluctant but goes at nick 's urging . there is a tension because felicia is very defensive about their last meeting . felicia tells stephanie about the cancer . thomas visits rick to ask how he 's feeling . they argue about hector and caitlin . rick tells thomas that he and caitlin are about love , not sex . he urges thomas to get over her and says she cares for him . hector tries to make peace with caitlin and they both apologize for things they 've said and done . however , he still wants her to avoid rick . she threatens to move out if she 's pushed .

steffy : are you serious ? you 're ready to rally the logan troops ? brooke : you bet . steffy : oh , it 's just sad that you 're that worried about me . brooke : you 've proven you ca n't be trusted . taylor : okay , then what does it say about hope and liam 's relationship ? you do n't think he can be trusted while hope 's out of town ? if the relationship is that tenuous , then they 've got bigger problems than steffy . [ scene_break ] bill : let me get that drool for you . liam : oh , dad ! i 'm workin ' here . bill : yeah . not a bad way to earn a living , is it ? [ scene_break ] brooke : hope and liam do n't have problems , not anymore . i just want to make sure that steffy does n't become one . taylor : so what are you and your sisters planning to do ? spy on steffy ? follow her around ? make sure she 's never alone with liam ? that 's ridiculous . they 're friends . brooke : why are you encouraging this after everything she 's been through with bill ? steffy : w - w - what does that have to do with anything ? brooke : you 're setting yourself up to be hurt again . i 'd think your mother would be the first person who would want to prevent that . taylor : ( scoffs ) brooke : bill is a married man , and he turned you down . liam is engaged . he 's going to turn you down , too . you do n't have to keep putting yourself in these situations . you do n't need to do that this time . liam is her fiancé . just leave him alone . stay away from him .

[ scene_break ] eric : let 's begin , shall we ? uh , hello , everyone . welcome , and thank you for being here . bonjour . i 'm very , very happy to be in paris today representing my company and , uh , representing a line that i am very , very proud of -- hope for the future . [ scene_break ] liam : well , she 's -- she 's very ... uh , she 's , uh ... bill : she looks hot in lingerie ? liam : yes . should i play it again ? bill : no . liam : yeah , i - i was n't gon na . bill : i want these ads up on all our web sites as soon as possible . let 's give forrester some bang for his buck and put the fear of god in nick and jackie marone . liam : all right . you 've got it . what about print , though ? is this gon na make the next `` eye on fashion `` issue ? bill : an ad like that ? i 'll make sure it does . [ scene_break ] steffy : liam can ask me to stay away from him , not you . who his friends are is none of your business . brooke : ( scoffs ) if that friend wants to hurt my daughter , it most certainly is . steffy : hope 's hurting herself by using sex to control her man . brooke : what are you talking about ? taylor : well , honestly , hope ca n't help but have learned how to use sex as a weapon . whether you give it away freely to get what you want , or you withhold it , the result is the same . brooke : ( scoffs ) steffy : mind games , control issues -- that 's how you taught your daughter to be with a man . [ scene_break ] hope : actually , it 's not really a new idea . other fashion houses have been doing it , too , but , i mean , it 's very important to implement those kinds of environmental changes into the line . well , and let 's face it . i mean , wearing sustainable apparel fit right in with the entire hope for the future concept . jean - michel : can i ask about the elephant in the room ? hope : ( laughs ) you mean this ? yeah ? ( laughs ) jean - michel : does that mean you said yes ? hope : the answer was yes . and i am happy to confirm that i am engaged . man : wow . hope : thank you . thank you . jean - michel : will planning the wedding take you away from hope for the future ? hope : uh , no , i do n't think it will . in fact , i think it 's going to drive me to work even harder on it . you know , i 've talked a little bit before about the message that i want to convey , and it is so important to me that young women of my generation know that they have the power to choose to live safer , healthier lives , just everyday steps that give us hope for the future , uh , whether that is concerning the environment or our bodies . in recent years , the idea of entering into marriage before beginning an intimate relationship is something that has been seen as , you know , from the dark ages . it 's very archaic . but i do n't think it should be seen that way at all . in fact , i want to help spread the word that this is a life - changing experience . you know , it -- it 's something that comes with consequences and responsibility . i do n't think that it should be entered into lightly or promiscuously . sarah : hope , you 're newly engaged . how ... hope : yes , i am . um , and thanks to my incredible , amazing fiancé , i am living my message . being in the spotlight , it -- it 's really given me a unique opportunity to be a role model to a lot of girls out there . you know , and i just want the young women of my generation to remember that the choice is theirs . they do n't have to enter into anything if they 're not ready . and if a man really does love you , he 'll wait until you are . [ scene_break ] brooke : hope 's decision to wait has nothing to do with controlling liam . taylor : maybe not consciously . brooke : it 's about her values and her beliefs . she has a very specific vision of how she wants her first night with liam to be , and i 'm really proud of her for that . steffy : well , that 's fine if the man that she 's with has a similar vision , but he does n't . he does n't want to wait . brooke : it 's hope 's body and hope 's decision , and liam is in love with her . whether he likes it or not , he 's going to wait . he respects her choice . and you two have to do the same thing .

( sighs ) i know . just -- i 'm worried about something else . ridge : steffy ? brooke : i had a bit of a run - in with her earlier , and taylor was there , too . ridge : ohh , so that 's what 's got you in the mood . i get it . what 's going on ? what happened ? brooke : ( sighs ) i just want her to understand that liam is off - limits . hope and liam are engaged now , and steffy needs to respect that . ridge : liam is committed to hope . he 'll make that clear to steffy , if he has n't already . he would n't have proposed otherwise . brooke : he wants to be her husband . but it does n't mean he 's not going to be tempted . hope 's asking a lot of him . ridge : you mean asking him to wait that long ? brooke : mm , perfect time for steffy to go after him . ridge : oh , logan , come on . liam loves hope . he loves her for who she is , for the decisions she makes , including the one to wait until she 's married . it 's gon na be a couple of rough months for liam . it would be for any guy . something tells me he 's gon na be able to handle it , no matter what steffy does , okay ?

( sighs ) [ liam remembering ] liam : i want you to be my wife . hope : ( gasps ) liam : will you marry me ? hope : yes , i would like nothing more than to be your bride . i love you so much . liam : what 's wrong ? hope : wait until after we 're married . steffy : no , you and hope , you guys are engaged . you gave her the commitment that she 's been waiting for , but she wants you to wait till the wedding ? what ? hope : i 'm really gon na rush , but i think that i can put it all together in , like , three months ... three months ... three months ... steffy : do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life ? liam , do n't get dragged into a marriage that wo n't give you what you need . what you need ... need ... need ... [ scene_break ] steffy : damn , i look good . liam : ( sighs ) steffy : now why would you do that when you can have the real thing ?	taylor fires back that if brooke is that worried about liam while hope is out of town , then she has bigger problems than steffy . brooke reminds steffy again that bill rejected her and now she 's going through the same routine again with liam . she needs to remove herself and just stay away from that relationship . steffy blasts that hope is trying to hold her man by withholding sex and controlling him . brooke says that liam respects hope 's choice and they need to accept that too . bill catches liam obsessing over the lingerie video with steffy . they both agree that steffy looks hot , but bill says liam needs to forget her and concentrate on business . however , liam ca n't and at every opportunity he keeps returning to the video . he calls steffy and asks why she never told him about the intimates campaign . she 's glad he likes it . he says he is disappointed that hope left town immediately after they got engaged , but he 's working through that . it 's been a long day and he just wants to go home and relax . the forresters arrive in paris and eric opens a press conference with hope for the future . hope faces the music and gladly answers the questions from the press that she is living her message . the choice is hers .and if a man really loves you , he will respect that decision .
[ knock on door ] deacon : brooke ? brooke ? brooke : in here . deacon : hey . i told you i 'd be back . not that i 'm trying to pressure you or anything . brooke : deacon ... deacon : look , i - i know . i know that last night you were n't expecting a proposal , which is why you could n't answer me . but i figured you 've had some time to sleep on it ... brooke : [ sighs ] deacon : look , i ... i get that bill 's still in the picture . but he ca n't make you happy . i can . listen to me . we get so few second chances in this life . hope 's parents reunited ? i just -- i want that so bad . brooke : i know . deacon : please , baby . marry me . bring our little family back together again . [ scene_break ] rick : do n't tell ridge that i 'm looking for him . he 's just gon na find another way to avoid me . caroline : guess who ! rick : [ chuckles ] well , it ca n't be my wife . she 's not due till tomorrow . caroline : oh , and what if she showed up unexpectedly ? rick : why would she do something like that ? caroline : well , maybe because she missed her husband like crazy and could n't stand to be away from him another day longer . rick : well , i 'm pretty sure your husband feels the same way . caroline : mm . well , i mean , she is beautiful , sexy , outrageous , talented . did i forget anything ? rick : a very devoted daughter to her two moms . caroline : mm - hmm . rick : how are karen and danielle ? caroline : good . happy . glad to have their little girl home so they can spoil her for a bit . rick : i bet . caroline : they send their love . rick : yeah ? caroline : mm - hmm . okay , okay . enough schmaltz . [ laughs ] catch me up . how many times has maya hit on you since i 've been gone ? rick : well , maya i can handle . it 's ridge who 's frustrating me . caroline : why ? rick : the forrester couture line . caroline , i - i keep -- i keep pressing him to show me something . he just keeps putting me off . caroline : maybe he just wants to show you the entire collection at once . rick : or maybe there 's more going on with ridge than we know . [ scene_break ] ridge : pam , if you keep interrupting me , how am i supposed to get anything finished ? katie : actually , it 's not pam . it 's just me . ridge : hey . katie : hey . ridge : hi . katie : [ chuckles ] ridge : i 'm sorry . i love that woman , but if she does n't want to come in and feed me lemon bars , she 's talking about taking me and her security beau to some medieval - knight thing . katie : [ chuckles ] oh . i - i do n't know what to make of that , but , um ... how 's everything else going ? ridge : another disastrous day . ca n't do it . i 'm trying , but i ca n't draw . ever since i fell , i ca n't draw anymore . and the deadline 's coming closer and rick 's breathing down my neck and i 've got nothing . i 've got nothing . [ scene_break ] katie : i really think you 're putting too much pressure on yourself . ridge : clock is ticking . if i do n't come up with something in the next few days -- katie : you will . you will . ridge : i mean something i can be proud of . something that forrester can be proud of . katie : everyone here is proud of you . [ knock on door ] rick : ridge . you got something to show me ? ridge : all in good time , rick . all in good time . if that 's a problem for you -- rick : you better believe it 's a problem . you know , ridge ... i hate pulling rank here , but your designs for couture , i need to see them and i need to see them now . [ scene_break ] deacon : if you 're worried about what bridget would say if you accept ... brooke , you 're her mother . i mean , i got to believe she wants you to be happy . brooke : no , it 's -- it 's not that . deacon : good . good . because if i thought it was that , you know , i get it . she 's your daughter , too . brooke : who 's forgiven both of us . thank god . deacon : yeah . brooke : but no . it 's ... more . it 's ridge , everything that 's going on there ... deacon : i get it , okay ? really . i know you 've got a lot on your plate . but i also want you to know i 'm not giving up this idea about us being a family . brooke : that 's very sweet that you want that for us , but ... hope : dad ! hey . deacon : hey , sweetheart . hope : did not know you would be here today . deacon : well , you know , i asked your mother a question last night , and i just thought i 'd swing by and see if maybe she had an answer for me yet . hope : oh , yeah ? what 's that ? what ? what 's going on with you two ? [ scene_break ] ridge : you 'll get the designs when i 'm ready . now , please , give me a break . rick : no , no , no , no . not until i know that the couture line is on its way , ridge . katie : listen , rick , i understand that you 're the president , but ridge has never let the company down before , okay ? rick : no , but i still do n't understand why this is all such a shroud of mystery . caroline : well , you know , we designers just are that way . we like a little bit of secrecy , you know ? it builds anticipation and excitement . not that i 'm putting myself in your league . although ... ridge : although what ? caroline : what ? no , no . i -- it 's presumptuous . rick : [ chuckles ] since when has that ever stopped you , my love ? caroline : well , just between us , i have been working on a couple of designs for couture , too . rick : well , hallelujah ! finally . get to see some designs . ridge : yes , you 'll see some designs . rick : by the end of the day ? ridge : whatever . just let me work . rick : by the end of the day . [ scene_break ] deacon : you know , brooke , i have to tell you , i think marriage agrees with our daughter . she 's glowing . hope : [ chuckles ] brooke : i wish we could have been there for the wedding . hope : i know . so do i . but it all just happened so fast . i mean , one minute i am waiting for liam by the eiffel tower , and the next ... brooke : wyatt was sweeping you off to bill 's yacht to be married . hope : yeah . hardly had time to catch my breath . [ chuckles ] brooke : now that you have ? hope : now that i have , i 'm ... hm . i 'm -- i 'm thinking about all the things that i did n't know then . [ scene_break ] rick : it 's fine . handle it the way you see fit . i trust you . katie : i wish you felt that way about ridge . rick : katie , i trust ridge . his talent . it 's his ego i have a problem with . katie : all great artists have egos . rick : yeah , but the point is , he is part of a team -- a team that is depending on him . katie : he knows that . rick : then why is he being even more difficult than usual ? it 's not like i 'm asking to see the whole collection . i just want to see a single design , that 's all . katie : and you will . you will . rick : have you seen ridge 's designs ? katie : yes ... rick : and ? katie : and if you 're looking for a critique , i 'm not a designer . rick : but you are a woman . a woman who headed up this company . you know fashion . come on , level with me here . is ridge on the right track with this collection ? or is there something else going on ? [ scene_break ] caroline : i never get tired , watching a genius at work . ridge : that 's how you see me , huh ? caroline : um , it 's how the entire fashion world sees you . i 'm just one of your many admirers . ridge : you , uh ... you said you had some sketches for couture . caroline : yeah . i was just working on them in my free time in new york , mostly . i 'm -- i 'm not even sure if they 're any good . ridge : and you want me to look at them ? caroline : i 'll show you mine if you show me yours . [ scene_break ] brooke : honey , i know you . you never would have married wyatt if you did n't love him . hope : no , of course not . it 's just that i ca n't pretend like liam showing up does n't matter . brooke : if he did show up at the eiffel tower when he said he would -- hope : then i would probably be his wife right now . and that is -- it 's ... it 's so weird , and it 's ... hard to talk about . deacon : listen , you did what anyone would do under the circumstances . hope : but i did n't know the circumstances . i really did n't . all i knew is that liam did n't show up . brooke : but wyatt was there , and he 's been committed to you practically from the moment he met you . hope : yeah . deacon : hope , you are committed to your marriage , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] katie : listen , rick , i 'm ridge 's fiancée . i mean , what you 're asking me , it 's kind of putting me in a weird position . rick : i just want to know if you think he 's gon na deliver . katie : has n't he always ? rick : [ sighs ] i 'm talking about this collection . i 'm talking about right now . katie : ridge is giving everything he has to this collection . rick : hope for the future , all of our other lines , they 're on track . except for couture . we need ridge 's designs to wow , and how am i gon na know if they do that if he wo n't show me anything ? katie : you just have to be patient . rick : i have been patient , but we 're down to the wire now . if i do n't see one of ridge 's designs , as in yesterday ... you know what , katie , just ... for me , could you do me a favor ? if there 's anybody that can get through to ridge and his colossal ego , it 's you . [ scene_break ] caroline : not even a teeny , tiny peek ? i 'm sure that it 's fabuleux . ridge : still a little rough . caroline : you can just tell me what you had in mind . or you can pick apart what i have . ridge : [ chuckles ] caroline : i 'm tough . i can take it . ridge : you do n't need my input . caroline : oh , please . you are a design god . just being in your presence is inspiring . i 'm serious . you 're the reason i became a designer . you know i used to just pour myself over your collections , immerse myself in your technique . always felt like we had this special connection . not just because you were married to my namesake but because you appreciated and respected women . and your designs always reflected that . so now that i 'm done buttering you up , what do you think ? ridge : [ sighs ] caroline : oh god , you hate it . ridge : no . caroline : you just you do n't , you do n't love it ridge : i love the detailing , i love the way the lines take your eye right from the neckline to the waist in one swoop . that 's what you 're going for , right ? caroline : would i admit it if were n't ? [ laughs ] ridge : now all this bodice , it 's overworked , it 's too much . if you want to be serious about couture , you got to remember that less is more . okay ? caroline : yeah . see , that 's -- that 's what i 've been struggling with . when to pull back . you know , how to keep it sophisticated yet fresh . unfortunately , i just really think that i missed the mark with this one . i know that it 's a lot to ask , but ... can you help me ? pretty please ? [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] wyatt makes me so happy ... deacon : but you ca n't forget what might have happened in paris . hope : [ sighs ] no . it 's ... i gave liam a choice . you know , i told him , you meet me at the eiffel tower at 3 : 00 or we 're done . i 'm moving on with my life . but he was n't there . i waited for him and i looked for him . oh , and i did n't want to believe that after everything we 've been through that this is how it was gon na end for us . but it ... it did . brooke : liam was saving ivy 's life . you had no way of knowing that . hope : i know . i know . and i did n't find that out until we got back to l.a. and i hate what - ifs . i hate them . but i ... i mean , how do you just turn off feelings that you have for someone ? deacon : you ca n't . you do n't . i mean , if anyone knows that , it 's me . but here 's the other thing you got to know -- it 's okay to have those feelings . you know , it 's okay to remember the feelings about liam and everything that you shared together . i mean , he was -- he is a very special person in your life . and that does n't just change now that you 're wyatt 's wife . it 's just different . hope : i 'm really glad you 're back . i am . it 's really ... it 's nice having both my parents to talk to . i mean , i think i missed out on a lot of it growing up , but in some ways this might be even better . i really love you both . i do . deacon : oh , baby . me too . [ scene_break ] katie : i 'll say it again -- you just have to give ridge a little more time . rick : i 'm gon na say it again -- i need designs , i need them pronto . i 'm tired of being stonewalled here . and if this is some kind of power play by ridge , i intend to call his bluff . if it is something else ... is it ? [ scene_break ] caroline : you see the problem , do n't you ? of course you do . it 's just i - i do n't know whether to start over completely or to try and come at it from a different way . you know , i - i 've tried raising the hemline and shaping the form . i do n't know . maybe ... a different fabric ? ridge : what are you thinking ? caroline : [ sighs ] an embroidered georgette ? ridge : that 's interesting . caroline : okay , interesting good or -- or interesting bad ? ridge : sit down . come . now , do n't you think if you used something a little lighter , a lighter material , that it would drape softer in here and here , and maybe create a more flattering silhouette ? caroline : okay . um ... what about the back ? ridge : yeah . i 'm sorry . yeah , there 's just too much going on here . see , if we take this off ... what you want is a line coming straight down here . you see that ? caroline : draw it . ridge : that 's -- this is yours . you draw it . i ca n't . caroline : no , i - i ca n't . ridge : of course , you can . focus . focus on the woman you 're designing for . it 's her dress , it 's her story . but do n't overthink it . couture dress could take hundreds of hours to finish , but to the client , it has to just ... just seem effortless . no . no . aw , come on . not there . caroline : okay , i 'm ju -- i 'm ... i 'm -- i 'm just a little confused . can -- can you just please show me ? you 're trembling . ridge : do n't worry about that . caroline : yeah , i ... [ laughs ] i totally see it . this is -- this is amazing . we make a really good team . ridge : yes , we do .	deacon drops in again on brooke . he says he knows she was not expecting a proposal last night but .he wants this so bad for hope 's parents to be reunited . he asks her to marry him and bring that family back together again . she says she has a lot on her plate and she has ridge on her mind now . hope interrupts and deacon tells her about his proposal and hopes to get an answer from brooke . she says she is also thinking over a lot of things that she did not know before . caroline surprises rick and comes back a day early . both are happy to see each other . then she wants to be caught up .like how many times has maya hit upon him . his question is why are n't they getting any sketches out of ridge . maybe there is more going on than they know . katie goes to see ridge at fc but he still ca n't draw and the due date is getting closer . rick comes in and says it is a problem and he hates pulling rank but he needs to see the designs now . ridge says rick will get the sketches when he is ready . rick says suddenly that is not good enough . caroline intercedes and says it just so happens that she too has been working on some couture . rick is excited and so is ridge and they agree to give it to the end of the day . katie tries to intercede and says he can depend on ridge . rick says it 's more than that . it 's his ego too . is he on the right track or is something else going on .
bill : we 're not waiting . brooke : you only just signed divorce papers . we should n't be rushing into this . bill : ending a marriage that was dead a long time ago . and -- and have n't i been the poster boy for -- for patience , i mean , counting the days until this moment ? well , no more . we have nothing to hide , no one to protect , no fears . our life together starts now . ridge : i think letting nature take its course , as you said , is the only thing you can do when it comes to brooke . katie : oh , i do n't know . i think three little words from you might have an impact . ridge : katie . what are you saying ? katie : i know you want bill 's shares of forrester , but at what cost ? are you really willing to let brooke marry bill ? ivy : do you mean that ? do you really think i could be useful to you ? quinn : a girl of your talents ? i could definitely use you . ivy : oh , thank you . thank you so much , quinn . quinn : oh . oh , well , wait , wait , wait . do n't -- do n't get ahead of yourself , okay ? i still need to talk to your uncle . ivy : oh , okay . quinn : but i ca n't see him having any problem with you rejoining the team and helping me out . ivy : please tell him i 'll work hard for you . i will . i just -- i want to -- i want to dive right in , anything you need . quinn : well , that 's exactly what i 'm going to expect . liam : just , uh , protect yourself from quinn . steffy : i have . that 's what this is all about -- living here , away from my husband . [ knock on door ] liam : just so you know , distancing yourself from her means from wyatt , too . wyatt : hey . you in the mood for some company ? uh , better company ? ivy : thank you so much . are you sure it 's not a bother ? quinn : [ chuckles ] [ australian accent ] a bother ? [ chuckles ] [ normal voice ] come on . why do you have to be so formal ? ivy : am i ? quinn : maybe it 's -- maybe it 's just the accent . ivy : uh , well , is -- is that a problem ? quinn : well , no . it 's just -- i do n't know . maybe you can , you know , loosen up a little bit , not be so old fashioned . ivy : old fashioned ? quinn : yeah , i think the accent just adds to it . ivy : well , i mean , i could argue that you have an accent because you have an american accent . quinn : yeah , 'cause i live , you know , in america , in los angeles , which is where you want to be , where your father is from . maybe you need to embrace more of your inner california girl and -- and let go of that , you know , `` g'day , mate `` stuff . you know what i mean ? ivy : um , no . quinn : make yourself more accessible . ivy : sorry . wh - what does my accent have to do with being accessible ? quinn : it 's -- it 's -- it 's the whole thing , right ? it 's the whole package . it 's -- it 's -- it 's the accent . it 's -- it 's the clothes . you -- you realize you 're wearing one big doily , right ? and it 's the overwhelming politeness . ivy : quinn , this is just -- is who i am . quinn : okay . do you want to work with me or not ? ivy : yes . yes . i do . i 'll -- i 'll do anything . quinn : okay . then prove it . let 's go . ivy : uh , wait . where are -- where are we going ? quinn : we are going downstairs for a much needed makeover . come on . steffy : come on in . join the party . wyatt : what did i say to you ? liam : what ? wyatt : the other day , i asked you what ? liam : oh , wyatt , i 'm still allowed to talk to steffy . steffy : can we just not go here , wyatt ? wyatt : i asked you to give me a little space . that 's all . like , for once , just once in my life , can i just walk in and not find you in my wife 's face ? liam : [ sighs ] ridge : if brooke decides to marry bill , there 's really nothing i can do about it . katie : oh , if anyone could stop her , it would be you . ridge : well , that 's quite an assumption . katie : no , it 's based on years of research . men just can not get over my sister -- ever . every single one of you would just pick up right where you left off if you could . and since you 're single , you could . bill : this is the day we 've the freedom to be together openly , no guilt . so whatever apprehension you 're having about katie -- brooke : wo n't it be too painful for her to see us together ? what she 's feared for so long ... bill : no , not what she feared . it 's what she knew . it 's supposedly the reason that she was drinking , right ? the reason that she was miserable . because instinctively , she knew that i was with the wrong sister . well , not anymore . today we move forward . the dreams that we started talking about in aspen , the marriage that should have happened in abu dhabi . it 's all happening now . steffy : can we just take a breath for a second ? let 's not turn this into a big deal . wyatt : you know what ? you are right . i apologize . it just took me by surprise seeing him , which is ridiculous . i should have expected it 'cause he follows you around like a lost little puppy all the time . liam : oh , come on ! that 's enough . you guys are separated . i have every right to have a conversation -- wyatt : who said we were separated ? liam : she moved out , wyatt ! she 's living with her brother ! wyatt : not because there 's anything wrong with our marriage ! she moved out because of my mother , which is something that we can overcome , and we will , so back off ! look , i 'm not letting you or my mother come between us . quinn : [ sighs ] thank you for pulling these on such short notice . all right . wonderful . hey ! you guys ! you got my message ! okay , so , cora , chris , would you mind just setting up right now , and then i 'll bring ivy over to you . i just want to go through a few of these outfits with her first . okay ? right there . ivy : can you -- can you please tell me what is going on here ? quinn : you are getting a much - needed upgrade . look , if you 're coming back to forrester and you 're coming back to l.a. , then your look needs to reflect the new and improved you . ivy : i think i 'm -- i 'm just struggling to understand what my look has to do with my design ability . quinn : okay , i 'm gon na tell you something . ivy : mm - hmm . quinn : sometimes a piece of jewelry does n't sell no matter how good it is . the client has something else in mind , so he passes on it and he never knows what he 's really missing . so you have to learn how to sell not only the jewelry , but yourself . and then he will find it -- and you -- irresistible . ridge : brooke and i had many , many chances , and it never worked out . katie : well , maybe it was n't supposed to work out until now . listen , i 'm not saying pursue her if you do n't want to . but if you want to , then you might want to do it now before she -- ridge : before she makes the biggest mistake of her life . katie : before she complicates things . bill wants to marry her . he 's made that clear . but if you want to go after her , then you might want to do it before they exchange vows . i can see your attachment to her . you have a child together , a son . maybe she 'll be happy with bill . maybe they 'll get married and live happily ever after . or maybe destiny will intervene and change her mind . brooke : [ sighs ] i want to believe you , that katie can just accept this . bill : okay . there 'll be a period of adjustment , which is normal . it 's to be expected . brooke : and then there 's will to think about . bill : will is gon na be fine . he 's surrounded by love . look , brooke , the hard part is over . we 've acknowledged our feelings . we have faced the truth . i mean , the rest is easy . now it 's just a matter of making it official . starting our life together . that 's what we 've wanted , and it 's happening . we 're happening , and we 're not gon na wait any longer . i want the world to know that you 're mine . liam : wyatt -- [ sighs ] i feel for you , but how can you say that you 're not gon na let quinn come between you with a straight face ? you are -- you are blind when it comes to your mother . wyatt : uh , no . no , i know my mother better than anyone , and i know why steffy 's moved out . things need to change when -- liam : actually , wyatt , i know your mother better than anyone , and things do n't change . you can make these promises to steffy . you can say you 're gon na get quinn to stay away , but she will find a way back in that no sane person could possibly anticipate , and that is what 's so scary about quinn -- the unpredictability ! look at where we 're at right now . look at where we 're at . you got quinn moved in with eric , she 's back at forrester . it is -- it 's absurd ! so who knows what 's she 's gon na do next ? quinn : try to accentuate her lips . ivy 's got great lips . and i want her to look like she 's as comfortable in the board room as she is on a motorcycle . ivy : oh , well , no . no , i - i do n't ride motorcycles . quinn : no , no , no . do n't worry . you 're not riding a motorcycle . it 's just -- we 're just trying out a look . ivy : why would we even have to do my hair ? 'cause i 'd just be wearing a helmet . quinn : no , no , no , no , no . ivy , please stop being so boring and literal , okay ? no , we 're just -- we 've having fun , okay ? ivy : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] sorry . look , i 'm sorry . i 'm not -- i 'm not trying to sound like a whinger . i 'm just -- quinn : what 's a whinger ? ivy : do you -- oh , do you not say that ? a whinger ? quinn : no . you know what ? no , i think -- here 's the problem . it 's not just the accent . it 's your strange aussie phrasing , as well . listen to me . you are eric 's forrester 's niece , not his crocodile hunter . okay ? now , let 's do this . katie : think about what i said . you 're gon na have to make a decision . i know you want bill 's shares , and brooke can get them for you if she marries him . but is it worth it ? you 'll always be the great love of brooke 's life . everyone knows that . the question is -- will the two of you accept it ? brooke : it never seemed possible , the idea of us . of ever betraying my sister . bill : but that 's the beauty of it , brooke . we 're not . we waited . we did it the right way for everyone . and now it 's time to take the next step . brooke : what are you doing ? bill : you know exactly what i 'm doing . brooke : no . i do n't need a ring . bill : the hell you do n't ! brooke : it 's too soon ! bill : it 's years too late . besides , this is more than a ring . it 's your entry to my family . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : i wear this sword . my sons wear it . it 's a symbol of strength and power . it 's a reminder of what it means to be a spencer . and since you 're the strongest woman i know , it only seems right . brooke : did you get me a sword ? [ gasps ] bill : and i hope you never take it off . liam : you would see it , too , wyatt : is my mother unpredictable ? yeah . sure . she can be . but translating that to mean that my marriage is over -- i mean , is n't that a little self- serving ? liam : you would see it , too , if you wanted to . you -- you would see it right now if you just looked into steffy 's eyes . wyatt : is he right ? steffy : wyatt . [ sighs ] there 's no way i can answer that right now . i -- i hate standing here and seeing how hurt you are , especially if i 'm the cause , but your mom is a huge concern . it 's like she does n't care how her actions will affect me or anyone , and that worries me . it 's like , how far will she go if we let her ? quinn : lovely . just lovely . ivy : yeah , i still do n't understand . quinn : you 're not even trying to lose the accent . ivy : because i do n't understand that , either ! i mean , this is just -- it 's how i speak . quinn : yeah , but everything has to change . you 've got a new look and an american accent , and then -- that 's when i 'm going to go to eric and tell him that i want you to join the jewelry team ! ivy : yeah , but -- god , it 's just -- it 's so different , and -- i almost look like steffy . quinn : huh . yeah . you kinda do . ivy : you have something in mind for me , do n't you , quinn ? what is it ? what are you up to ? ridge : [ sighs ] this will all be over soon . 'cause i 'll have bill 's shares . right after he marries brooke . bill : of course it 's beautiful . it had to be . you 're the one wearing it . no other woman has ever had this kind of effect on me . and there 's no other woman i want to share my life with , live my life with . because that 's what different about being with you . we embrace life , whether we 're riding in a hot - air balloon in aspen or riding camels in dubai . we live , we laugh . and now we 'll do it together . no regrets , brooke . only gratitude and appreciation for a second chance . brooke ... brooke : yes ? bill : tell me you agree . that you know this is right . that love will prevail . we will prevail . will you marry me ? brooke : [ laughs ] yes . yes , of course i will marry you ! bill : your ring . brooke : my sword . my man . bill : finally . brooke : [ laughs ] [ sighs ]	bill tells brooke that he can not be a poster boy for patience . their lifetime starts now . they have no one to protect ; no guilt . katie was drinking and miserable but no more . this is the marriage that should have happened a long time ago and now finally can . bill tells her the hard part is over . now comes the easy part to start their life together . they are not going to wait any longer . he wants the world to know that she is his . brooke is drinking it all in but she does not want a ring thinking it is too soon . he says not soon enough . he stuns her when he brings out one and tells her that he hopes she never takes it off . ivy is grateful and happy to hear quinn say she thinks she can be useful to her , now she just needs to talk to eric . before that quinn thinks ivy needs a california girl makeover . she needs a new and improved young lady that men will find irresistible . katie laments to ridge that she knows he wants bill 's shares but does he want it at the expense of brooke marrying bill to get them . for instance if ridge wants brooke too now would be the time to make that move before brooke might change her mind and say yes to bill . she says everyone knows that brooke and ridge are each other 's great love and always will be so they just have to accept it .
ridge : detective , take it easy on him . he 's just woke up from a very bad fall . det . sanchez : that 's why i 'm here . thomas ? are you ready to talk to me ? detective , you really need to make this brief . he needs his rest . det . sanchez : i 'd just like an answer to my question about the fall . thomas . was it an accident ? or did somebody push you ? wyatt : so , how was that ? sally : for you , or for me ? wyatt : for me , it was like a -- a 10 . on a scale of 1 to 10 , it was a 10 ! sally : it was all right . wyatt : all right ? our first kiss in months was `` all right , `` that 's it ? sally : it was n't your best . wyatt : psht ! sally : i was just saying . wyatt : would you give me another shot ? a chance to redeem myself ? i mean , i could n't have lost my mojo these past few months . sally : you should give me another try . you should , you know ... sally : ah ! slow your roll , cowboy . wyatt : you -- [ sighs ] wyatt : you set me right up for that one . sally : i think you set yourself up , my friend . wyatt : really ? sally : mm - hmm . wyatt : i mean , as i recall , were n't you the one who said something about a second chance ? sally : i did ? wyatt : yeah . sally : mm . okay , maybe i did , but i do n't know if i 'm ready to dive in head- first . wyatt : what , for another kiss ? sally : for whatever this is . wyatt : look , this -- this is whatever we want it to be . sally : [ groans ] it just seems like a whole lot of `` too good to be true , `` if you ask me . wyatt : so we 'll take it slow . or fast . fast is good . i -- i err on the side of fast , that 's better . sally : mm - hmm . wyatt : it 's your decision , really , but it 's , you know -- sally : honestly ? wyatt : yeah . sally : i 'm just really glad that you 're even talking to me , after what i did , that this is even a possibility . wyatt : i was n't exactly mr . maturity , either . i mean , i -- i did slightly overreact . sally : a tiny bit , yeah . but i do get why you were mad . i mean , i should have told you what thomas was up to . i -- i hate that i ever agreed to being his confidant . i mean , obviously he was just using me . wyatt : all right , thomas will use anyone and anything to get what he wants . det . sanchez : thomas , was your fall an accident ? or did somebody push you ? ridge : maybe we should do this later . thomas : no . det . sanchez : do you remember what happened ? you fell over the cliff ? you were standing on the deck ... you were having a heated conversation with your wife . mrs. forrester was there , too . they were both very angry with you . thomas : i remember . i was there . near the edge . det . sanchez : how did you go over the cliff ? thomas : i fell . det . sanchez : well , your family 's saying it was an accident , but i need to know the truth . did somebody put hands on you ? did somebody deliberately push you ? thomas : no . nobody pushed me . det . sanchez : you sure ? thomas : it was an accident . there 's a bunch of whole almonds in every bar wyatt : as far as i 'm concerned , thomas got exactly what he deserved , all right ? i -- i do n't -- i do n't hope -- i do n't want him to die . that would be awful . i mean , i hope he makes a miraculous recovery . but , i mean , he got himself into this mess . he 's the one who did all this stuff . sally : no , i mean , you 're right . you know , in the end , people have to pay the price for their actions . wyatt : mm - hmm . sally : i -- i do n't know , it 's just , he has a little boy . you know ? and douglas has already lost his mom . wyatt : i know . i 'm thinking about that kid all the time . sally : well , if thomas was n't in the hospital , he definitely would be in jail . wyatt : where he belongs . like flo . she 's -- she 's sitting in a jail cell for what she did . sally : how do you feel about that ? wyatt : i think that she should pay for her actions , you know , and her part in this . i mean , look , there 's just so many -- there 's so many lies , and -- and one deception after another ... i -- [ sighs ] sally : yeah . i know how much you hate that stuff . wyatt : yeah . i mean , does n't everybody ? sally : [ sighs ] pretty much . wyatt : that 's why i -- i mean , i hope that i can move past all this . sally : yeah , i like the sound of that . wyatt : i mean , i 'm hoping that i could -- i could do it with you . sally : you sound pretty confident . wyatt : why , should i not be ? sally : we 'll see . wyatt : right . det . sanchez : so you 're saying it was an accident . you 're positive ? thomas : yes . an accident . det . sanchez : all right , then . if you remember anything different , you can call me . that goes for all of you . stories have a funny way of changing . ridge : thank you , detective . det . sanchez : oh , and , thomas , your name came up in another matter . make sure you stick around town . i 'm gon na need to talk to you about some information i got from xander avant and flo fulton . ridge : how you feeling , son ? you know , i think he 's been through enough already . i think it 's best if he have some time alone to recover . thomas : wait , wait . i need to say something . especially to hope . okay . i 'll give you a few minutes . thomas : i have no one to blame but myself . brooke was trying to protect her daughter , thought i was hurting her . i do n't -- i do n't know why i did what i did . i ... there 's no excuse . i was wrong . ashamed . dad ... i let you down . i was being selfish . building a family ... hope , i -- i took you away from yours . precious time with your baby ... i could have taken your pain , but ... i didn't . i -- [ groans ] well , i did this to myself . put myself here . i 'll never do anything like that again . i promise you . you have my word . i do n't blame you if you never forgive me . i hope you do . be right there baby . whoops . sorry . ridge : we should probably let you get some rest . thomas : can i , uh , talk to hope alone ? brooke : i do n't think that 's a very good idea . hope : there 's really nothing you can say . thomas : please . liam : yeah , i 'm not gon na leave you alone with him . thomas : that 's okay . you should stay . you should hear this . i 'm ... horrified by what i 've done . but i did it out of love for you . the love i felt for you was real . the vows i said , i meant them , hope . douglas ... [ sighs ] poor douglas . he really -- he really wanted you to be his mother . i wanted you to be his mother . and what i did ... the detective , not telling him the truth , that your mother pushed me ... god , i hope that shows -- that shows you i 'm putting your happiness , your well - being first , finally . you ca n't get back the time i took away , the time you should have had with beth ... but i 'm just asking ... maybe one day you 'll forgive me . and , hope , i -- i 'm sorry . all right , folks . that 's enough for now . thomas really needs his rest . liam : yeah , that 's -- that 's probably a good time . thomas : hope . i meant what i said . i -- i do love you . wyatt : i know we ca n't erase what happened , good or bad , but maybe we can , uh , press the reset button . sally : well , you know how much i like to push buttons , so ... wyatt : oh ! i know . i remember what i 'm signing up for , okay ? making fun of the way that i chew , complaining about my driving ... [ laughing ] oh ! sally : okay , look , if we are starting fresh ... wyatt : mm - hmm . sally : ... and getting everything out in the open , i ... i actually have a confession to make . wyatt : uh - oh . sally : i actually think you chew adorably . wyatt : aww ! really ? sally : yeah . wyatt : huh ! even my cereal ? sally : it 's the cutest crunching sounds i ever heard . wyatt : mm . crunch , crunch , crunch . and all this time , i thought you just wanted to strangle me during breakfast . but , in actuality , i was turning you on . sally : uh -- mm , i do n't know if i 'd go that far . wyatt : no , yeah , that 's what it is . sally : mm . okay . wyatt : we should test that , too . sally : really ? how ? wyatt : yeah . sally : are you just gon na chew something ? wyatt : yeah . yeah . yeah . at dinner . sally : okay . wyatt : i mean , i want to take you on a date , you know , a real date . sally : like we met on a dating app and you 're trying really hard to impress me ? wyatt : exactly . sally : i like it . wyatt : yeah . sally : mm - hmm . wyatt : seriously . i just -- i want to treat you the way that you deserve to be treated . i mean , there 's been so much , like , lost time and so many missed opportunities , and i do n't want to do that anymore . i want -- i want to start right here , right now , this moment . sally : what are you getting at ? wyatt : this . i have to say , i 'm rather shocked . i mean , of course there 's gon na be bruising and swelling , but considering the tremendous fall your son took , he does seem to be in pretty remarkable condition . ridge : he 's a tough kid . do you think he 'll make a full recovery ? there 's no paralysis , no internal bleeding . of course , i 'd like to keep him here for a while longer , for observation , run another ct scan , but apart from that , i do n't foresee any , any setbacks . brooke : that 's wonderful news . thank you , doctor . ridge : thank you . sure . brooke : wow . well , that 's a relief . ridge : yeah . thomas got very lucky . brooke : yes , he did . ridge : and he 's not the only one that got lucky today . you got to be relieved that thomas did n't tell sanchez the truth . as someone in witness protection , liam : i ca n't believe what happened today . hope : yeah , well , luckily thomas is gon na be making a full recovery . liam : yeah , which is amazing because that was a long fall . hope : yeah , i 'm just glad that he did n't blame my mom for it . liam : well , that 's the -- see , i did n't know which way he was gon na go on that . i mean , he could have easily , easily blamed brooke , but once he started saying it was an accident ... hope : well , we both obviously know why he did that . liam : yeah , obviously . he 's trying to score points , he 's trying to gain sympathy . hope : well , nothing could ever make up for what he did . he stole so much from us , liam . all of our firsts -- her first bottle , her first bath , her first smile . those are memories that we will never be able to share together . liam : i know , but , hope , we have so many more firsts ahead of us , and , you know something , we 're gon na appreciate them even more because of what we 've been through . are n't we ? hope : yeah , but thomas ' apology , it 's not enough . not even close . liam , it makes me mad how ... liam : it makes me mad , too . trust me . hope : [ sighs ] we 've cried enough . we 've been mad enough , and i 'm -- i 'm done with that . liam : yeah . hope : i just want to focus on this precious little girl and the awesome , exciting , wonderful future that she is going to have with her mommy and daddy . [ chuckles ] brooke : ridge ... ridge : i saw you . i saw you push him , and it does n't matter if it was on purpose or not . you shoved him off the cliff , and he could have died , and it 's a miracle he 's still with us . brooke : i 'm sure that it was very frightening for you . ridge : [ scoffs ] brooke : i was terrified , also . but you have to understand what i saw . i saw your son with his hands on my daughter , and i just reacted . ridge : so you were protecting your daughter , and i saw you shoving him . we 're not gon na see it the same way , are we ? brooke : well , you have to remember why we rushed over to steffy 's in the first place . you and i were both concerned about -- ridge : i was not concerned about anything . i said i would handle it . that 's what i said . brooke : well , my daughter was over there , and she was alone , and i could n't get through to her . and images of what thomas could do just kept flashing through my mind , so i was worried about my daughter , and i hate feeling that way about thomas . ridge : you know what i 'm concerned about right now ? what i 'm focused on is what happened in there . he gave you a break . brooke : he gave me a break ? ridge : yeah . brooke : [ scoffs ] ridge : you could have told what really happened out there , but you didn't . instead of bad - mouthing him out here , why do n't you go in there and thank him ? brooke : you want me to thank him ? what thomas did to my daughter and to my grandchild ... ridge , after that , you want me to grovel at his feet to show my gratitude ? no ! it was an accident ! ridge : shh . brooke : and i do n't believe for one second that his apology was real . ridge : okay . brooke : i think that he 's still trying to manipulate hope . ridge : i do n't believe you . he 's in that hospital bed because of you . brooke : he 's in a hospital bed because of a sick , twisted obsession with my daughter . and i 'll tell you something , this is n't gon na just end . thomas is not gon na just walk away from this . he 's gon na have to pay , ridge . thomas has to pay . what he 's done ... he 's gon na have to pay for what he 's done to hope !	ridge tells sanchez to take it easy . thomas just took a very bad fall . det . sanchez says he is aware of that . all he wants to ask thomas if he fell or was he pushed . wyatt starts to kiss sally and she tells the cowboy to hold his roll . she 's not sure she wants to jump back in headfirst . she seems to enjoy giving him a hard time . he says he can do better than that first kiss . and they can make this relationship whatever they want it to be . sally had her second chance so now he wants his too . they joke about his chewing his breakfast cereal and other things . he wants to take her to dinner for a real date . she apologizes again for not telling him the truth about thomas . perhaps some of this could have been avoided . wyatt says he does not want him to die but he got himself into all this mess so he will pay for his actions . he mentions flo too sitting in a jail cell , one deception after another . that 's why he hopes they can all move past this . she says he seems pretty confident . thomas tells det . sanchez that no one pushed him ; it was an accident . brooke gives a quiet sigh of relief . sanchez asks thomas if he is positive and thomas says yes , he fell . before the detective leaves he tells thomas not to leave town . there is new information that he needs to get from xander and flo . ridge begs for just a little time and hope and liam stay as well . thomas says he has no one to blame but himself . brooke was only trying to protect her daughter thinking he was hurting her . he does not know what made him do the things he did . he was being selfish but he guarantees them he will never do anything like that again . he knows he has no right to ask for their forgiveness . but he did it out of love for her . he meant his vows . douglas really wanted hope to be his mother . thomas wanted her too for douglas 's mother . and he is sorry that he knew the truth but kept beth 's whereabouts from her . he tells hope that he loves her and hopes someday she can forgive him . the doctor comes back in and says that is enough . he tells ridge and brooke that considering the fall , there seems to be no setbacks .no paralysis , no broken bones or even concussion . so he would just like to keep him for another day or two for the swelling to go down . they can consider themselves lucky .
( sorry , i missed the end of the show because of news reports on clinton 's heart surgery . ) stephanie : no . felicia : i know it 's a shock . i 'm sorry . stephanie : cancer ? brooke : did somebody send for the world 's oldest candy striper ? rick : you came back . brooke : well , i was worried about leaving you here all alone . rick : oh , mom , i 'm fine . brooke : well , if you 're fine , then i guess you wo n't be needing these things . rick : whoa , whoa , whoa . bring that over here . brooke : i 've got cookies and books -- movies -- rick : all right . mm . that is the best medicine in the world . but you really did n't have to this . brooke : do n't talk with your mouth full . was that thomas i saw driving away ? rick : yeah . brooke : you argued ? rick : tried not to . but he 's still upset about losing caitlin . although he wo n't admit it . he keeps insisting that he 's moved on . brooke : he 's young . it hurts . rick : yeah , i know . i really hate to see him like this . especially since the more upset he gets , the easier it is for amber to take advantage . brooke : you 're really concerned about him . rick : oh , do n't get me wrong . i 'm really ticked off at him . i mean , him going to caitlin 's father like that . brooke : i know , he set off a firestorm . rick : and we have n't heard the end of it yet . hector : we are not done talking . caitlin : yes , we are . you want me to quit forrester , give up what i want most in this world . hector : rick ? caitlin : listen to you -- the way you talk about him , look down on him . you do n't even know him . hector : i know the family he 's from . caitlin : they 're wonderful people . hector : whose values are completely opposite to ours . caitlin : that is so not true . rick 's mom grew up in the valley . she worked her way through college . she never gave up . she 's this incredible success story . and she believes in me . and so does eric , and ridge , and rick . everybody but my own father . samantha : are you two arguing again ? caitlin : not for long . 'cause i 'm out of here . for good . stephanie : what kind of cancer ? felicia : colon . stephanie : at your age ? felicia : it 's not as rare as you may think . i mean , rare enough that you 're not screened until you turn 50 . unless you ask for it . which , of course , i did n't know i needed to do . you know , i was just tired all the time . i went to all these different doctors , and they told me chronic fatigue , they told me depression , poor diet . i guess -- i guess i was lucky . stephanie : lucky ? felicia : yeah . some people do n't have any symptoms at all till it 's too late . finally , they found it . and , um -- we did surgery right away . and they had told me that it had spread to my lymph nodes . stephanie : oh my god . felicia : which is a stage three -- next to last . and then i had six months of chemotherapy . which hurt like hell . stephanie : are you finished with the chemo ? felicia : yeah . stephanie : well , what 's the result ? felicia : i just found out . it looks like it worked . the doctors told me that i 'm cancer - free now . stephanie : oh , felicia ! felicia . stephanie : you went through this all alone . felicia : tougher than you thought , huh ? stephanie : but you did n't have to . if you 'd just called , i would have been on the next plane . felicia : yeah , i know . stephanie : you said you wanted me there . i do n't understand . felicia : you know what ? you never really have . understood me . stephanie : but , felicia , in a crisis -- felicia : yeah , but that 's the only reason why you would have been there -- was because of the crisis . stephanie : but what does that matter ? i mean , if you needed me . felicia : what i needed from you , i would n't have been able to get . even if you had come . stephanie : why do you say that ? felicia : you could have come to see me at any time . to any one of my showings that i invited you to . stephanie : felicia , whenever you invited me , you always made it seem as though it did n't matter one way or the other if i came . felicia : what do i have to do , beg ? what does it take to get you to -- now we know what it would take , do n't we ? cancer , death , sense of duty . i mean , that 's what it takes to bring us together . do you know how sad that is ? i had enough to deal with . i could n't handle that , too . brooke : you knew hector would n't be comfortable with age difference , and that it would be important that you and caitlin took things slowly . and that was the plan , right ? then you two almost slept together . rick : mom , do we really have to talk about this ? brooke : considering you 're laid up with broken ribs and a recently collapsed lung , absolutely . you need to take hector 's objections seriously . rick : i understand that . brooke : do you ? rick : yes . and not because i 'm afraid of him , it 's because he 's caitlin 's father . you know , the one person who she 's been closest to her entire life . and this is really tearing her apart . samantha : caitlin , you 're not going anywhere . caitlin : yes , i am . unless you can get him to back off ! he still expects me to stop seeing rick and quit forrester . hector : you 're gon na tell me now everything 's gon na be fine ? samantha : i just think there must be some kind of middle ground here . hector : i 'm not taking half - measures when the future of my daughter 's at stake . samantha : your daughter ? oh , look -- okay , everybody let 's just take a step back . all right ? caitlin , you have to understand why your father is so worried . after everything that he and i went through . caitlin : that 's why he should understand . hector : i do understand . just how easily and fast things can get out of control . caitlin : that 's not gon na happen to us ! hector : you ca n't plan on things happening , caty . what if you get pregnant ? caitlin : i 'm not gon na get pregnant , okay ? we 're not gon na go that far . hector : i do n't believe you . samantha : hector . hector : i do n't trust her with decisions this big . you 've already shown me that you just do n't have the maturity . caitlin : oh , okay . you want maturity ? how about i live out on my own ? i 'd rather do that than be stuck here with you yelling at me all the time . samantha : just stop it ! now just stop it , both of you ! i finally just found my family again , and i 'm not gon na lose it . stephanie : felicia , you say that you wanted us to be closer , but you did n't . you left town to get away from me . felicia : you did n't fight my leaving . stephanie : i respected your decision . felicia : you were relieved , just admit it . stephanie : felicia , what do you want me to say to you ? what do you want from me ? i tried , i really tried , to be a good mother to all of my children . felicia : well , it seemed to come easier with some more than others . stephanie : you 're very hard on me . felicia : i 'm hard on you ? wow . that 's irony . stephanie : i know you think that i 'm judgmental and critical and controlling . well , maybe i am , but what the hell does it matter now ? felicia , i love you , you must know that . felicia : how would i ? stephanie : because you 're my child ! look , i know it has n't always been easy for me to talk to you , and to approach you , and -- you know , whenever i tried to be involved in your -- you always -- you did n't want that . you did n't , so i learned to keep a respectful distance . and now , you 're just standing here , and you 're telling me all of this -- why did n't you tell me something sooner ? felicia : 'cause i was waiting for you to say something . something other than , `` when are you gon na grow up ? `` well , you know what ? i have the answer to that now . because cancer grew me up . it did . and let me tell you something -- you know , on those days when i did n't think that i could take anymore , lying in that bed , waiting to get some test result to tell me whether , you know , my life was gon na be over or not . i could hear your voice in my head . and you were saying to me , `` no daughter of mine is gon na lay down and die ! you get off your butt and you fight ! `` you were there with me . you did help me get through it . you would have been so proud of me . stephanie : felicia , i am proud of you . i 'm so proud of you . caitlin : i 'm sorry , i do n't see this getting any better . and i just ca n't live like this . hector : caty , stop ! i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , okay ?

caitlin : do n't put me in a cage , dad . i wo n't stay . hector : i know , i know . we 'll work something out , okay ? something we both can live with . we 're gon na work this out together , okay ? as a family . i do n't really understand how you feel about fashion , and i sure as heck do n't know what you see in rick . caitlin : dad . hector : but , i will listen , okay ? i promise . just remember , this is hard on me . caitlin : okay . so , i can go ? hector : yeah . caitlin : i wo n't let you down , dad . i promise . samantha : you did the right thing . stephanie : so now that you 're finished with the chemo , what happens ? felicia : well , i see my doctor in three months , and then in six months , i have another colonoscopy . something i 'm used to . stephanie : well , the difference is this time , you wo n't have to go through it alone . and i mean that , no arguments . a support system can make all the difference , huh ? felicia : i 'm starting to realize that . um -- nick came with me on my last doctor 's visit . stephanie : you told him ? felicia : no , not exactly . he did some research . you know , the pills in my purse ? stephanie : the pills . felicia : right . if there are any recreational side effects to the anti - nausea drugs , i certainly have n't noticed them . stephanie : i owe you an apology . felicia : let 's just focus on the future . now that i have one . stephanie : nick gon na be part of it ? felicia : i do n't know . stephanie : so -- have you told kristen and your brothers ? felicia : no , and i really -- i do n't want to yet . stephanie : i have to tell your father . felicia : i know , i know . of course you can tell dad . just nobody else right now , please ? stephanie : you have my word . felicia : i know this might be hard for you to understand , but i 've just been in such a strange place , you know ? my life has just been in such a limbo . stephanie : sweetheart , you 're gon na live a long , long life . and you never have to face anything like this every again alone . felicia : it 's so nice to have you on my side . rick : hey . caitlin : hey . rick : you 're here . caitlin : yep . rick : what 'd you do , climb out your window ? caitlin : no . my dad and i had a breakthrough . i think he 's finally starting to understand . rick : he is ? caitlin : you know , he 's just afraid of losing me , me growing up . for him to admit that -- he 's really putting forth an effort . rick : that 's awesome . i know how much you guys mean to each other , and i really did n't want to mess that up . caitlin : well , you have n't . i think we 're gon na come out even stronger . so , how are you ? rick : well , my lung 's fine . my ribs are gon na take a while to heal , but overall , i get a gold star . except there 's just this one ache that wo n't go away . caitlin : where ? rick : here . caitlin : you know , this is what got us in trouble in the first place . rick : oh , what trouble ? oh , you mean when i almost became road kill	felicia and stephanie discuss all that felicia has been through with her cancer treatments and what is in her future now . they start to build a better relationship . caitlin , hector and samantha continue to argue about rick . when caitlin makes it clear that she will move out of the house , hector gives in a little bit . he explains that he is just worried about her getting hurt . they all come together with an agreement to work this all out as a family . rick and brooke have a heart to heart talk about caitlin and the whole situation with hector 's reaction . later , caitlin visits rick and things start to get a little to heated again .
katie : so bridget 's coming out to the `` shady marlin `` ? nick : i 've got an evening planned out on the boat , yeah . katie : are you sure you 're ready for this ? nick : i just want her to know how much i love her . that 's what 's important to me . katie : ( sighs ) well , either way , it 's gon na be hard for her . nick : yeah , i know that . katie : but you are gon na tell her ? nick : i 'm gon na tell her tonight . katie : let me know how it goes . nick : i will . katie : good luck . nick : thanks .

[ scene_break ] bridget : so what do say , captain ? are you gon na whisk me away to someplace we 've never been before , make me forget about everything ? nick : you 're feeling anxious , are n't you ? bridget : it 's just this -- this whole awful thing with my dad . the thought that ... ( sighs ) aunt pam went off her meds and flipped out ... this tragedy was completely avoidable . nick : most tragedies are . bridget : yeah , i guess in hindsight , you know , you can go back to that ... ( sighs ) that one little moment , where if you 'd only turned left instead of right ... ( sighs ) it 's pointless , though , really . you ca n't go back , so it 's just crazy . every insignificant decision has a consequence . nick : you just got to keep moving forward . bridget : yeah , well -- well , my dad ca n't move forward . he 's exactly where my aunt pam put him , dropped in a coma . he 's not -- he 's not doing okay , nick . i mean , he 's not gone yet , but -- but he 's going . i do n't think there 's anything anyone can do to bring him back . [ scene_break ] stephanie : it 's so difficult to believe that pam actually did this to him . you know , you say to yourself , `` how did it happen ? `` and i -- do you think it 's possible he 's not going to come back to us ? ridge : i do n't want to believe it either . ( sighs ) but i think we have to prepare ourselves for the possibility . stephanie : i do n't think i can do that . i do n't think donna can do that either . i totally underestimated her feelings for your father . ( sighs ) i ca n't deny she 's been devoted to him . you know , this whole situation , this whole ordeal , she 's just been completely committed and loyal to him . [ scene_break ] owen : well , all the charges against me have been officially dropped . lt . baker was n't too happy about my `` borrowing `` his police car . donna : ( laughs ) owen : but he said he 's gon na let it slide just this once . donna : well , if you had n't , i - i 'd be dead . owen : but you 're not . you 're not , and you 're here , and nobody 's more happy about that than i am . donna : ( sighs ) but so much has -- has happened . i - i 'm not sure what to do . owen : just relax . go soak in the hot tub . are you hungry ? donna : yeah . owen : i can make you something to eat . donna : ( giggles ) owen : anything you want . you name it . i 'm all yours . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i should have realized that pam was n't taking her medications . there must have been signs , and ... ridge : well , if there were , we all missed them . stephanie : dr. seifert . dr. seifert : ah , the nurse told me that you were here . i thought you were alone . i - i will come back later . stephanie : no , no , please . please come in . i 'd like to meet my son ridge . ridge , this is dr. seifert . ridge : dr. seifert . dr. seifert : very nice to meet you . ridge : are you on my father 's , uh , medical team ? dr. seifert : i 'm consulting with dr . patrick . stephanie : dr. seifert is one of the world 's leading experts on coma recovery . ridge : oh , wait . you were mentioned in the article i just read on cutting - edge techniques . but do n't you work mostly with coma caused by traumatic brain injuries ? dr. seifert : yes . i explained that to your mother , but she would not take no for an answer . ridge : you brought him in ? stephanie : yes . ridge : does donna know ? stephanie : no . [ scene_break ] donna : ( sighs ) eric : you and marcus will outlive me , donna . i do n't want to leave you with a mess . and when the time comes -- donna : a million years from now . eric : at least a million years from now , yeah . i want you to go on with your life . i do n't want you to put your happiness on hold . owen : donna ? owen : you 're overwhelmed . that 's completely understandable . but you do n't have to be afraid . i 'm not gon na let anybody hurt you ever again . [ scene_break ] nick : ( sighs ) you up for a little night fishing ? bridget : sure . yeah , that sounds perfect . i wish my dad could see us right now . nick : i wish he were well enough to be with us . bridget : you know , he had his doubts about us . nick : well , i do n't think our past really inspires confidence , security . bridget : no , maybe . but i think what we 've been through lately does . we 're so much stronger . i think we can get through anything . nick : well , that 's what a marriage is , right ? we 're a team . we 're partners . bridget : that 's exactly what we are . [ scene_break ] katie : um , i - i do have something i need to talk to you about , and -- and i just really hope that you can understand and forgive me . brooke : forgive you ? for what ? katie : well , we -- we both know everything that bridget has done for me , and i - i really would n't even be here if it were n't for her . brooke : oh , honey , is this about your results from the other day , your medical exam ? katie : kind of , yeah . brooke : is it your heart again ? katie : no . no , it 's not my heart . not yet . brooke : well , then what is it ? what 's going on ? katie : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] donna : well , i hope the police catch pam and lock her up forever . owen : so do i . donna : eric would n't . you know that he 'd probably want to get her help . that 's the way he is . i mean , he 's so good . i 'm not . owen : come on . you 're a lot better than you think you are . [ scene_break ] brooke : okay , katie , talk to me . what 's going on ? katie : okay . all right . it -- just b - before i tell you , i just want you to know that -- that it was a totally crazy situation and -- and -- and completely unreal , and i think arguably , i was not thinking clearly . but when nick took me to catalina that day , i - i told you how amazing it was , and i - i felt really at -- at peace , like i - i could 've died there , and i almost did , and nick held me in his arms , and i -- something just came over me , and i had never felt like that before , and there was no tomorrow , and -- and -- and it was just that one moment , and i never meant for anything to happen , and it was n't planned . brooke : no , no . do n't -- do n't say it . katie : i 'm sorry , brooke . brooke : do n't say it . katie : we made love . nick and i made love . brooke : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] nick : uh - oh . what 's goin ' on in that -- that brain of yours there ? you thinking about changing something on the `` marlin `` here ? bridget : i was , actually . i was just thinking we should make it a little more passenger friendly . you know , cramped quarters for four . nick : right . ( clears throat ) all i know is that we 'll be together , because i love you , and that 's really what i want . [ scene_break ] brooke : oh , god . how could you do this ? i told you not to do this to bridget . you know her history . you know everything she 's been through . katie : brooke , we are not having an affair , okay ? it just happened that one time under really extreme circumstances . brooke : spare me the justifications . i know it all too well . katie : nick is completely committed to bridget , all right ? and they have a different relationship now . she 's more secure now , and -- and i know this will be difficult to deal with . brooke : ( sighs ) katie : but i think ultimately bridget will be able to handle it . brooke : ( sighs ) so you 're gon na tell her ? katie : nick 's telling her . brooke : when ? katie : tonight . right now . brooke : ( sighs ) god . katie : see , something else happened . and it 's really unexpected , and it 's important that she knows about it . brooke : you 're pregnant . oh , my god . you 're pregnant with nick 's child ? ! katie : aah ! ( groans ) [ scene_break ] bridget : ( sighs ) thank you so much for bringing me out here . this is exactly the kind of escape i needed . nick : escape is good . but then we do have to get back to reality . bridget : i know . oh , sometimes i wish i could just stay here forever , but i know that , you know , i ca n't . i 'm just such a control freak . i want things to be the way that i want them to be . but i 'm getting better . i am much more open to new possibilities . nick : yeah ? bridget : and that 's paying off . nick : really ? bridget : yeah . i got you . i never thought that we would have a second chance , and look at us now . nick : life sure can throw some curve balls , ca n't it ? bridget : yeah , tell me about it . nick : but we just brush ourselves off . we get up , and we move on . bridget : honey , why are you getting so serious ? nick ?

liam tells bill not to regret his decision about wyatt ; maya gets strength and support from carter . liam : i 'm kind of glad this happened , because it gives dad a chance to understand who you really are . so , why do n't you go back to the house , grab your stuff ? i want you out by the time i 'm home . and if i never see you again ... that 's fine with me . good luck , wyatt . it was nice knowing you . [ door shuts ] bill : you 're here to work . if you 're not working , you should be somewhere else . liam : i was actually just , uh , wondering how long it 's gon na take wyatt to get all his stuff out of my house . bill : my house ? liam : your house . i told him to be gone by the time i get home . hope : wyatt ! hey ! what are you doing ? wyatt : packing . i do n't live here anymore . hope : oh , god . did you and liam get into another fight ? because , you know , bill said that you could -- wyatt : not -- not welcome at spencer , either . hope : what ? why ? what happened ? wyatt : it 's okay . i probably would 've left even if they had n't thrown me out . hope : who ? are you talking about bill and liam ? wyatt : i guess i was wrong about liam . he 's more like dear , old dad than i thought . caroline : it was really sweet , what your dad said about me . rick : it 's all true . no one did more to make the re - launch of hftf a success . caroline : well , your presidency was at stake , so failure was not an option . rick : it never is with you . caroline : you 're just figuring that out now ? rick : [ chuckles ] maya : [ sighs shakily ] rick : i need the truth . tell me that carter did n't spend the night at your place . you would n't ... keep something like that from me . maya : i am so sorry , rick . but it 's true . maya : can we talk ? rick ? are you here ? caroline : you 're too late . rick : what are you doing ? maya : take it . rick : i 'm not gon na take it . it 's yours . maya : it belonged to your grandmother . you should n't have given it to me . maybe someday you 'll care enough about a woman not to let an argument and a couple of drinks get in the way . [ knock on door ] carter : i heard . maya : well , if you 're here to cheer me up -- carter : you kidding ? there was one reason i rushed into work every day ... and she just resigned . maya : it 's not gon na work -- that sweet , funny thing you do . coffee ? carter : how about caring and curious ? better ? maya : [ sighs ] carter : come on , maya . i 'm an actor . i can take direction . maya : how about we not talk about this right now ? carter : well , i have a feeling you can use the support . maya : i 'm still trying to sort it out . carter : well , maybe i can help . i 'm not a mind reader , but i 've got a real good ear . i 'm a great listener . maya , you can talk to me . maya : [ sighs ] caroline : oh , the things i let you do to keep your mind off maya . [ chuckles ] rick : i was n't thinking about maya . caroline : are you thinking about not thinking about her ? because you do n't have to do that for my benefit . rick : well , it 's not doing me any good , either . caroline : well , her resignation wo n't affect the line . and if anyone asks about why she left , y - you know -- rick : i 'm not worried about the line . caroline : i hope that you 're not worried about maya , because , while i do n't think that she 's having as much fun as we are , i can guarantee you that she 's not sitting at home alone . liam : he 's so unappreciative . you know , you welcomed wyatt into the family with open arms , right away , by the way . you gave him a place to stay . as far as you were concerned , he was your kid . bill : hell of lot better than treated you . liam : yeah , maybe , but a hell of a lot better than he deserved . wyatt screwed up , dad . i mean , he had every opportunity to apologize , and he did n't take the chance . and it 's the same thing with hope , by the way . when he found out we were engaged , he still kept after her . who does that ? hope : you 're a spencer ! you ca n't get kicked out of your own family . wyatt : it 's not my family ! it 's bill 's ! and -- and if you do n't like how he operates , well [ whistles ] hope : what did he do ? wyatt : [ sighs ] hope : no , you can tell me ! there 's nothing you can say that will surprise me . wyatt : he left his wife and his kid for your mom . hope : he told you , too . hope : but katie 's my aunt , and i think what bill and my mom are doing to that little boy is horrible . caroline : just the way you like it ! rick : bartending . caroline : [ laughs ] rick : yet another skill . caroline : mm - hmm ! rick : is there anything that you ca n't do ? caroline : mm ... some of the skills , i was born with . rick : mm - hmm . caroline : and some of them , i acquired . [ chuckles ] but ... i will use all of them to take care of you . carter : maybe caroline was right about you two . if all it took to break you up was a few missed -- maya : we did n't break up ! [ voice breaking ] when rick left the office , he said he could n't talk anymore ! he did n't say it was over ! and then , somehow , caroline finds her way into his bed ? ! i had no choice ! i had to break up with him ! i -- carter : you did what you had to do . okay ? and you wo n't regret it , maya . i 'll make sure of it . [ keyboard clacking ] liam : hang on . one second ... okay . sorry . bill : no ! i like it . you 're focused . you appreciate what you 've been given . you are making the most of it . liam : yeah , unlike a certain someone [ coughs ] wyatt -- who threw it back in your face . bill : yeah , well , he 'll regret that . liam : i mean , you -- you gave him a chance to pull back . he just did n't take it . and i do n't think he knows how . the guy is all instinct . he 's just -- he 's all gut . bill : well , there is something to be said for that . liam : till it gets you in trouble . bill : well , it got me in plenty of it . i mean , when i was his age -- [ sighs ] that 's what this is really all about -- the way i treated his mother . i mean , that 's where this is coming from -- his reaction to my ... situation with brooke , his concern for will . liam : yeah , well , guess what ? he does n't know what the hell he 's talking about . he does n't have the right to lay that on you . you know , he did the same thing with me and hope , by the way . first time he meets me , he finds out i 'm still married to steffy . he starts lecturing me about how i do n't appreciate hope , about how i 'm a bad boyfriend . the guy seriously needs to learn some boundaries . [ sighs ] hope : come here ! sit . so ... [ sighs ] katie tells you about bill and my mom , and then you confront bill , and he decides that he 's gon na throw you out of the family . that 's what happened ? wyatt : yeah , and then liam kicked me out of the house ! hope : [ sighs ] wyatt : look , i 'm not supposed to be here by the time he gets back , so -- hope : wait . wait ! wait . can we just -- can we talk about this like adults ? wyatt : i have nothing else to say to them ! hope : then talk to me . wyatt : you 're on katie 's side ? hope : yeah . i 'm tired of watching bill turn people 's lives upside - down just doing whatever he wants to do , with no regard to who gets hurt . wyatt : [ sighs ] you know , my mom warned me what type of man he really was . hope : [ sighs softly ] we ca n't expect our parents to be perfect , but ... wyatt : we do n't have to like their choices . and we do n't have to fall in line . that 's what he expected . that 's what liam did . he defended him . hope : i just think that liam wants to believe this will all work out . wyatt : did it work out for him , growing up without a father ? is that what he wants for his baby brother ? hope : liam does n't see it like that ! for some reason , he feels like bill has changed ! bill 's different , so -- wyatt : how ? ! what is different about this ? he 's abandoning another son , hope ! he -- he 's doing to will the same thing he did to me ! and he does n't even see it like that ! hope : [ sighs ] okay , well , did you tell this to bill ? i mean , does he know that that 's why you 're angry ? wyatt : yeah ! yeah ! oh , he gets it ! he 's a very understanding guy . he even gave me the chance to apologize for having an opinion . no , thanks . hope : wyatt , wait ! wyatt , wyatt , just ... do n't go . maya : thank you . thanks for making me feel better , carter . but i -- i 'm gon na have to continue this later .. caroline : i hope maya was n't too hard on you . rick : she did n't say anything that i did n't deserve . caroline : uh , she was just angry . rick : she was hurt . caroline : yeah , well , so were you . if she had n't invited carter back to her place after the `` room 8 `` premiere -- you know what ? everything happens for a reason . and some things are just meant to be . liam : you and katie were already separated by the time wyatt found out you were his dad , so why is this suddenly a problem for him now ? bill : he thought i was still trying to get katie back . liam : well , let 's think about this -- you two reconcile , right ? the divorce is off . she gives you back the company . oh , now things are looking pretty good for old wyatt , are n't they ? but if you stay with brooke -- bill : that 's not what this is about . liam : not completely , but , come on . that crossed his mind . bill : well , sure , it did . he 's my son . liam : [ chuckles ] bill : but that 's not it . liam : whatever . it does n't matter now . it 's his problem . you 're done with him anyway . bill : you think he 'll go back to his mother ? liam : i do n't care where he goes ! i hope he 's happy , as long as he stays away from us ! [ scoffs ] hope : do n't leave . wyatt : your boyfriend kicked me out . hope : if you and bill got into it , then i 'm sure liam was just trying to ... calm him down . wyatt : no , it was n't a misunderstanding , hope ! i meant everything that i said , and so did my dad ! hope : and i 'm not going to make excuses for bill , okay ? he 's a jerk , and i do n't like the guy ! when i think of everything he did to keep liam and me apart , and then to have my mom ignore it and decide that he 's the only man for her -- yeah ! i -- i hate it , but i 'm not cutting her out of my life . wyatt : yeah , but you and your mom have a relationship ! hope : you and bill do , too ! you -- no , you do ! granted , it 's not a very long one , but you 've been staying here with liam ! wyatt : yeah ! and now you and liam can have this place all to yourselves ! is n't that what you wanted ? is n't that what you were hoping for ? hope : uh -- [ sighs ] i - i - i just do n't want it to end like this . wyatt : aww . she finally admits it . you liked having me around . hope : [ scoffs ] caroline : [ groans ] i 'd hate to break this up ! rick : you have a meeting ? caroline : a few . rick : yeah . me , too . caroline : is it hftf ? 'cause i can handle that for you . rick : no . no , caroline . you 've already done way more than i could ask for . caroline : that 's not true ! you can ask me to do anything ! i - i want to help you . i want to ... be by your side . i -- i want us to have a life together . i love you so much .

[ both laugh ] 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 . rick : go break a leg . that is what you 're supposed to say , right ? maya : since you said you love me , everything you say is exactly right . liam : hey , dad , for the record ... i know how important will is to you . bill : wyatt should 've left him out of it . and my son should stand up for me , not against me . liam : well , as of now , you do n't have to deal with it . hey , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na head home , see if wyatt 's gone yet . at least you do n't have to deal with him anymore . bill : [ sighs ] hope : i do n't want you to go . i mean , is -- is this the last time i 'm gon na see you ? wyatt : i do n't know . hope : i just feel like we 're still getting to know each other . wyatt : me , too . [ chuckles ] hope : if you leave now -- if you leave now , what does that mean for us ? wyatt : what do you mean ... us ? hope : our friendship . wyatt : mm - hmm . hope : is that over , too ? wyatt : with the way your fiancé feels about me -- probably a good idea . hope : where will you go ? wyatt : have n't thought about it yet . hope : [ exhales ] okay , well , are you gon na leave l.a. ? [ exhales ] i -- i j -- i do n't want to say goodbye to you ! wyatt : then do n't . come with me . hope : what ? wyatt : hope . [ scoffs ] you know there 's been something going on between us . hope : [ sighs ] wyatt : let 's see where that takes us ! do something crazy ! ditch this guy . come with me .	liam thinks back and tells bill what he just told wyatt . he wanted him out of his place by time he got home . liam says wyatt had every chance to apologize but he 's all instant guts and wo n't . wyatt had no right to lecturing either one of them for their actions with their women . he needs to learn some boundaries . hope catches wyatt packing and asks what he is doing . he says he no longer lives here . it 's okay as he might have left even without them asking him too . he tells hope that liam is more like his old man that he thought he was . she says they are family .his family so they need to work this out . and for the record , she thinks what bill is doing to his little boy is horrible . she says no parent is perfect and liam thinks bill has changed . wyatt does n't see it that way . bill is abandoning another son . and they did give him another chance to apologize but no thanks . he will keep his opinion . maya is moping around her apartment thinking about her breakup with rick when carter stops by . he says he has heard . and the only bright spot of the day is when he goes to work and now that person has resigned . he says he has a good ear and he 'd like her to share with him . he knows maya did what she had to do and in the end she wo n't regret it . she leans on his big chest / shoulders . he says this may feel like an ending , but it 's much more than that .

[ sighs ] liam : probably because you and i got back together . i mean , that 's hurtful to both of them . steffy : yeah , that 's exactly what i said to him . he did n't deny it . liam : yeah , but he did n't agree to do what you asked , either . steffy : the point is , this insanity just needs to end . ivy thinks that video is all about justice for aly . she 's using it and she 's holding it over my head . and for all i know , lieutenant baker could walk in right now for the warrant for my arrest . liam : no , that -- that is not how this is gon na go down . steffy : look , i know ... i know you tried to get through to ivy . and i tried , too . [ sighs ] and i know wyatt has done some questionable things . but i honestly do not believe he wants ivy using that video against me . liam : yeah , well , unfortunately , he 's still on the fence . steffy : well ... he 's had a night to think about it . hopefully wyatt comes to his senses . [ scene_break ] ivy : ah . are we interrupting ? wyatt : what ? what 's going on ? liam : like you do n't know . steffy : actually , i - i just got a text from my dad . he said start the meeting without caroline and him . liam : oh , really ? steffy : yeah . ivy : okay , well , what about thomas ? liam : well , i - i can fill him in later if he does n't show . wyatt : okay , so what 's this big confab about , anyway ? liam : okay , okay , uh , well , we here are all aware of the big changes that have been taking place at this company , and now so is the public . so , ivy is the new face of forrester , and i think it 's time to start planning her first photo shoot . wyatt : okay . got something in mind ? liam : yeah . actually , i talked to dad , and the yacht in monte carlo is available . wyatt : yeah ! ivy : wow . monte carlo . that 's great . i mean , i love that . wait . liam : what ? ivy : just -- it just -- this seems to be moving really fast . is there another reason you want to get me out of the country ? [ scene_break ] brooke : i 'm a pretty decent mind reader . thomas : [ clears throat ] brooke : caroline , right ? thomas : yeah . brooke : i know you 're concerned about her . thomas : yeah . brooke : did you talk to her today ? thomas : no . brooke : your father ? thomas : why ? brooke : well , remember when i said he was going home to talk to caroline to tell her that he was going to agree to have a family with her ? well , i was wrong . ridge broke it off with caroline . they 're not together anymore . [ scene_break ] ridge : i know it 's the last thing you expected to hear after what happened last night . [ sighs ] i - i just ... i want ... what 's best for you . and ... hey . i still love you , and i want to have a life with you . and i hope you still want the same thing . [ scene_break ] steffy : you would think that . ivy : well , is that what you 're doing ? you 're sending me on this shoot to get me out of the country ? liam : absolutely not , ivy . this is just business . ivy : okay , so then why does my gut tell me there 's something more to it ? steffy : i do n't know . maybe you 're just being paranoid . ivy : [ sighs ] wyatt : oh , steffy . come on ! steffy : no , you come on , wyatt . you know what ivy 's doing is wrong . ivy : no , steffy . what i 'm doing is keeping you out of prison ! i should have taken that video to the police a very long time ago , but i did n't . and instead of you guys being grateful , you keep throwing demands around ! i mean , where do you get off ? steffy : where do you get off accusing me of something that you know i would never do ? ! aly was family . i said this a thousand times how sorry i am ! we are all sorry ! but it was self - defense ! ivy : so then why are you so concerned with this video getting out , steffy ? you want to know why ? because you are n't innocent . aly 's life was taken by you , steffy . [ scene_break ] brooke : despite caroline choosing ridge over being a mother , ultimately ridge could n't have her make that kind of sacrifice knowing what family and children mean to her . thomas : so he sacrificed their relationship instead . brooke : yes . but ridge being ridge , he was concerned , so he called her to make sure she was okay , and she -- she was upset . she was crying . but you know what ? caroline is tough . she 's a fighter . she 's going to get through this . and she 'll find a man who can give her what ridge ca n't . she has family and she has friends . she has you . you and caroline have always had this amazing connection . if one person could really help her get through this , it would be you . [ scene_break ] caroline : i do n't understand . ridge : what changed between yesterday and today ? i 'm ... i was trying to do what 's -- what 's best for you , you know ? and then i realized ... i heard your voice , and i heard how upset you were , and i just wanted to crawl through that phone and grab you and hold you and tell you that everything 's ... everything 's gon na be okay because that 's what people that love each other , that 's what they do . and ... we 're a team , you know ? and whatever the challenge is , we face that together and we get through it together . it 's what we 're all about . it 's what we 're all about . i 'm hoping that we still are . so i want you back . [ scene_break ] steffy : how many times do i have to deny it ? ivy : well , why do n't you try admitting to it ? i mean , come on . what -- what 's that saying ? is it , `` confession is good for the soul `` ? steffy : i have nothing to confess to . i never wanted any of this . ivy : oh , and you think i did ? steffy , i wish to god that aly was still with us . i wish there was n't a confrontation . i wish there was n't a stupid video . and you know what ? i really wish you would understand why i 'm doing this . it 's to defend aly 's name . but instead you two are too busy wasting time trying to figure out ways to get me out of the country . wyatt : ivy . i 'll go talk to her . liam : no , let me -- let me do it . i 'm the one she 's really upset with . steffy : do n't say it . wyatt : it ca n't go on like this . steffy : well , then do something . get rid of the video . or did anything i say get through to you ? wyatt : actually , it did . in more ways than you might think .

[ knock on door ] liam : hey . hey . you okay ? hope : yeah . i 'm hanging in there . worried . dr. phillips will be in shortly . liam : thank you . so .. ng strenuous . i ... just suddenly felt cramping , and then i started spotting . liam : how bad ? hope : it 's just a little , but ... liam , what if -- liam : no , no , no , no , no . mnh - mnh . do n't go there . positive thoughts , right ? hope : that 's what i 've been telling myself . so , how is , uh , kelly , steffy , the fever ? liam : they 're fine . they 're great . they 're sending you positive thoughts , and , um , right now we 're just focusing on you and the kid . hope : [ winces ] [ breathing shakily ] wyatt : so , hope was alone when she started having problems ? steffy : apparently . wyatt : what exactly happened ? steffy : i do n't know . liam left right after hope called . sally : well , i mean , it does n't necessarily have to be serious . steffy : yeah , that 's what i 'm praying for . i mean , a lot of women can have spotting when they 're pregnant . wyatt : yeah , but i know what my brother 's worried about . and hope having lost one pregnancy already ... steffy : oh , god . i do n't want hope to go through it again . no one should have to experience that . dr. phillips : any heavy lifting today ? hope : no . dr. phillips : you did n't do anything out of the ordinary ? hmm . tell me about the spotting . hope : uh , well , it is n't heavy . dr. phillips : okay . that 's a good sign . some spotting can be normal . liam : well , what -- what about the cramping ? dr. phillips : okay . did that start before or after the spotting ? hope : before . liam : is that significant -- when the cramping took place ? dr. phillips : well , cramping can be caused by a number of things -- the growth of the fetus , a magnesium deficiency . are you taking your vitamins ? hope : religiously . liam : okay . well , there 's no reason to panic , then . dr. phillips : well , that never helps . hope , try and relax . katie : why do you love me ? thorne : 'cause of all your silly questions . katie : no . i mean , seriously , i - i 've pretty much brought nothing but trouble to your life so far -- i mean , bill 's insults and a custody battle . thorne : well , what can i say ? i like a challenge . katie : mm . is that what i am ? thorne : no , but your ex is . katie : please do n't tell me that i 'm just another part of the forrester / spencer saga . thorne : no . i - i would love you with or without bill spencer in your life -- maybe a little more without him . katie : oh , okay . well , good . i guess that 's just an added bonus , you know . you get to stick it to `` dollar bill `` spencer . thorne : the only bonus i get out of this is to teach a man a much needed lesson -- that a son is to be treasured , not ignored . katie : i love the way you care for my son . thorne : how could i not ? he 's such a great kid . i miss him when he 's not here . katie : so do i . but today i am glad we 're alone . thorne : you are ? katie : [ giggles ] thorne : [ exhales sharply ] [ chuckles softly ] wow . katie : uh . yeah . wow . [ both laugh ] katie : i have to say ... thorne : hey . katie : ... i have , um , really , really enjoyed , um ... getting to know you these past few months . thorne : i 've really enjoyed getting to know you . katie : [ giggles ] you know , i always did have a bit of a crush on you . thorne : [ laughs ] really ? i do n't believe that because i would have known . katie : hmm . i was pretty good at ... blending in to the wallpaper . thorne : ah . you say that you were a wallflower , but i never saw you in that way . katie : maybe it just was hard to bloom in my sister 's shadow . thorne : so , what changed ? 'cause you certainly came out into the light . katie : i think bill would say he changed me . he would say that his confidence in me allowed me to have confidence in myself . thorne : is that true ? katie : maybe a little . i would prefer to think that , um , i was just ready to come into my own . thorne : [ chuckles ] katie : you know , i had watched my sister chase after her destiny for so long , and maybe it was about time for me to create one for myself . thorne : do you believe in destiny ? katie : maybe i should ... 'cause you and will are the best things that have ever happened to me . thorne : well , if destiny does exist , it certainly took its sweet old time to put the two of us together . katie : [ laughing ] i know . i - i mean , i married bill spencer -- twice . thorne : yeah . why would you do that ? katie : [ chuckles ] i think sometimes you pick people who are bad for you . i think you 're good for me . and i know i can be very ... very good for you . wyatt : um ... guys , i - i really want to call my brother right now . steffy : wyatt , you can't . wyatt : i know . i know . it 's a bad idea . i just ... i do n't know . i 'm thinking about hope and , like , everything that happened . steffy : yeah . it 's awful . i know . wyatt : i mean , one of 'em will call , right ? sally : they will call . yes . you 're family . i mean , this is kelly 's half- brother or -sister that we 're talking about . they will call ... whenever they get news . wyatt : it just seems like they should have known something by now , and the longer we wait , i just -- i do n't know . i -- steffy : let 's not speculate , okay ? sally 's right . they 'll call when they have news . it 's gon na be good news . it has to be . dr. phillips : just relax and try to breathe slowly , normally . i know you 're nervous , but try and relax . that goes for both of you . liam : yeah . dr. phillips : i 'm just gon na check for the baby 's heartbeat . [ static ] liam : um ... anything yet ? dr. phillips : not yet . [ static continues ] liam : what 's going on ? what 's -- are you having trouble finding the baby , or ... ? dr. phillips : no . i found the baby . i just ca n't find the ... hope : [ voice breaking ] the heartbeat ? is that what you were gon na say ? well , what is it ? please , doctor , is my baby okay ?	liam slips out of kelly 's room and proudly tells steffy that kelly 's temperature is down and she seems okay . steffy says she cried on his shoulder and he replies well he has a pretty big one . and after this he feels like he can handle anything . katie entertains thorne and says will is at a friend 's house for his holiday celebration . she wishes he was with her to celebrate but instead she is fighting his father for sole custody . thorne hopes she is not regretting that now . she says yes she is having second , third and even fourth doubts but she is doing this . she just hates that she is dragging thorne into it . he tells her to relax ; they will get through it . and he hopes bill will realize she is serious and it wo n't get as far as the court . he tells her he is there for her and he does n't see that changing . she says she likes how she feels with the three of them . she knows that sounds weak but she knows she could not do this without him . hope calls liam at steffy 's and says something is happening and it is not good . she is spotting and is going to the hospital . she can not wait on him so he says he will meet her there .
ridge : he 's improving . thank you , that is now my -- my new favorite word . thank you , doctor , for everything . all right . i will . thank you . all right , uh , thomas is getting better , he 's got a concussion and some broken ribs , but he 's on the road to recovery . brooke : i 'm happy to hear that . i mean it , ridge . i did n't want any harm to come to thomas , i just wanted him away from my daughter . ridge : well , you got that , did n't you ? bill : mmm . katie : did that doing anything to soothe the savage beast ? bill : well , that was a beautiful distraction . katie : i do n't blame you for being furious . i am . bill : honestly , katie , the more i live with it , the crazier it makes me . these losers walk in and wreak havoc on liam and hope 's lives , all of our lives . steal their baby , my granddaughter ... katie : at least that 's over now . liam and hope have beth back . i just ca n't stop thinking about what dr . buckingham did with flo 's help . i hope they both rot in prison . shauna : hey , baby . flo : hi , mom . no touching . you know the rules . shauna : sorry . shauna : i hate to say it . you do n't look so great , honey . simon : well , it 's not exactly fun being in here , but ... i have no one to blame but myself . shauna : i went to quinn . i pleaded our case , and hoped that our friendship would prevail , but ... [ sighs ] it breaks my heart to tell you this , honey . she 's not gon na help you get out of here . flo : i do n't blame quinn for not wanting to help . i mean , why should any of them have compassion for me , after what i did ? i 'm sure they all think that i got what i deserve , and they 're -- they 're right . shauna : honey , i hate hearing you sound so defeated flo : well , you ca n't exactly call me a winner , mom . i guess i was for like a moment . i had this brand - new family , and this glamorous job , a cousin who was best friend , and ... the man i love was in love with me again . and now i 'm here . all because i was too much of a coward to do the right thing . shauna : you were used and manipulated . first by that evil dr . buckingham , and then by thomas forrester . i mean , at least he got what was coming to him . flo : what do you mean ? shauna : thomas is in the hospital . he fell off a cliff . flo : what ? katie : flo could have ended hope 's suffering just like that , at any moment , and she did nothing . nothing ! while we opened our hearts and our arms to her and welcomed her into the family . bill : well , flo needs to suffer . xander , zoe -- all of them . they 've got to pay a price , and they are . but thomas ... he 's still out there . i do n't give a damn that he 's in that hospital bed . he perpetuated that lie in the most heinous way possible . he used his own son manipulate hope 's grief as a mother . and , all the while , he knows that beth is alive and well . well , what thomas did is unforgivable , and i 'm gon na make sure that forrester 's mess of a son pays for what he 's done . ridge : i need you to understand something . i 'm not making excuses for thomas . he 's doing horrible things , and he will pay the price for him , but i got to talk to him . i got to get to the bottom of it . i do n't think he should lose his life for it , right ? which is what almost happened because of you . brooke : [ scoffs ] it was an accident . ridge : call it whatever you want , but my son almost died because my wife hates him . flo : he fell off a cliff ? how does that even happen ? shauna : i do n't know . all i know is , it did , outside of steffy 's house , and hope and brooke were there , too . flo : do you know anything else ? like , what went down with them ? shauna : i do n't know . maybe hope finally had enough and flipped out . flo : i guess i ca n't really blame her . i mean , after everything he put her through , after everything we all put her through ... shauna : well , mostly thomas and reese . honey , when i think about everything you 've been through in this situation , and you 're here ... i mean , you were manipulated by reese , threatened by thomas ... flo : well , i let it happen , mom . is thomas okay ? shauna : i mean , do we really care ? honestly ? i know , i 'm sorry . unfortunately , it looks like he is gon na be okay , proving there is no justice . i mean , my baby is sitting in this hole while thomas gets to live his cushy life . [ sighs ] i hope this is n't how it ends . someone needs to make him pay . bill : thomas forrester tried to steal liam 's life and leave him with nothing . katie : well , it 's all over now . hope and liam have beth , they 're settling in as a family , and they 're making up for lost time . bill : that 's impossible ! they ca n't get back those first months with their daughter . katie : [ sighs ] bill : and how about steffy ? how heart - wrenching for her , to love and raise this baby , only to have to give it up overnight ? katie : i -- i ca n't imagine . bill : thomas could have put an end to this horrible deception the moment he found out about it , but , instead , he doubles down on his own agenda and lets everybody suffer . well , if he thinks falling off a cliff is the worst thing that 's gon na happen to him , he is sadly mistaken . katie : bill , where are you going ? brooke : i do n't hate thomas . i hate what he did . how he tricked my daughter into a loveless marriage by using douglas . come on , ridge , i understand that you want to forgive him , but do you really need to defend him ? ridge : i 'm not defending anybody . and i 'm not forgiving him , either . i 'm trying to figure out exactly what happened , get to the bottom of it . he apologized . that 's a start , right ? he knows he 's wrong . brooke : i mean , we 've been down this road before . thomas does something horrible , life - threatening , even , and then the apologies come out . `` i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to do that , i 'll never do it again . `` [ sighs ] i mean , he 's done that to rick , and now to hope . and that 's enough . i 'm not gon na have him targeting my children . ridge : i 'm sorry . you know thomas did n't steal beth . you know that , right ? it was buckingham and his little sidekick , flo . but the only person you point a finger at is my son . brooke : well , he 's family . i expect a lot more from him than a couple of strangers . and any misgivings that i have about thomas , they are well - deserved because of how he treated my daughter , how he let her believe that her baby was dead so he could trick her into a marriage . ridge : you do n't -- you do n't think that bothers me ? you do n't think i think about that ? i think about it all the time . but thomas could have turned you in . he could have told sanchez that you were the one that pushed him off the cliff , but he didn't . and if he had , you 'd be in jail right now next to flo . he protected you . so give him a break . and you know the other thing , the thing that i ca n't get out of my mind , is you pushing my son over a cliff . brooke : ridge , i did n't mean for him to go over ! ridge : you did n't mean to , and that makes it okay ? no ! what if buckingham did n't mean what he did ? he 's the one i want . but i ca n't get to him , not now ! but i can get to flo . pam : oh ! ridge just blew past me . is there something that i should know ? brooke : uh , i 'm sorry , what did you say ? pam : [ sighs ] there 's just been so much drama going on around here . ridge just stormed out of the office . brooke : um , he went to see flo . pam : oh . well , good . you know what , someone needs to confront that girl . i mean , frankly , the nerve of her , brooke , just innocently sitting down at the logan table , and all that while , she 's responsible for this horrible , horrible secret ? brooke : yeah . it 's terrible . pam : i -- i could n't help but pick up on the tension between you and ridge earlier . brooke : uh ... [ scoffs ] pam : no , no , no . i mean , lord knows , it 's totally understandable . you 're two parents with two children , and now one marriage being annulled . then throw into that mix that horrible fall , and ... the kind of strange circumstances surrounding it ... brooke : all right , pam , you know , i -- i just do n't really want to talk to you about this . pam : oh , okay . brooke : bill . what are you doing here ? pam : i 'll , uh -- i 'll leave you two alone . hey , bill . bill : pam . pam : adieu . bill : turns out , you were right to be concerned about thomas . brooke : well , i did n't want to be . so i 'm assuming you know what happened ? bill : to my son and your daughter ? all the ways they were lied to and manipulated ? brooke : and now that hope and liam are back together , they can rebuild their lives , especially now that they have their daughter back . bill : and they will . but the perpetrators have to pay . each and every one of them . including thomas . that 's what i came to tell ridge . where is ridge ? ridge : you seem surprised . flo : very . ridge : sit down . the logan girls . man , they loved you . storm 's long - lost daughter . the forresters loved you , too . one big , happy family . and you lied to us from day one . you saw hope and liam suffer . you saw steffy fall in love with that little girl that was never gon na be hers . and you said nothing . flo : what i did was wrong . ridge : mm . you could have been the voice of reason . when thomas found out about beth , you could have talked to him . he would have listened to you . flo : no . ridge : no ? flo : no . i 'm not -- i 'm not trying to defend myself here , but ... i tried to tell thomas to do the right thing so many times , and every single time i did , he would threaten to destroy my life , and he meant it . i was afraid of what he might do . i mean , should i have come forward anyway and just -- and just done the right thing ? yeah . yeah . i should have , but i didn't . you know , it 's actually kind of crazy , thinking about it now because my mom told me what happened with thomas and the fall that he took , and ... despite everything , i am -- i 'm glad that he survived . ridge : i 'm sorry , i tuned out in the middle there a little bit . uh , what do you want me to do ? you want me to believe any of this ? flo : you do n't have to believe it if you do n't want to , but i 'm kind of out of reasons to lie . ridge : i never realized how pretty you are . a pretty young woman . you could have had everything . a family , a career , wyatt ... hope 's gratitude ... but , no , you had to lie , right , to continue to lie . hurt the people that cared about you . i just do n't understand that . bill : ridge went to see flo ? brooke : he 's on a warpath , determined to see justice served because of what happened to hope , liam , and steffy . bill : well , i 'm glad to hear that . but this , uh -- this serving up of justice , it 's going to have to include thomas . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : trust me , brooke , i 'm not gon na let him skate on this . brooke : i -- i would really rather not keep talking about thomas . bill : yeah . i figured that there would be a problem between you and ridge over him . what happened at the cliffhouse ? brooke : you know about the fall ? bill : that you were there ? yeah . brooke : yeah , i was there . i was looking for hope , and i ran out back , and i saw hope and thomas together . he was grabbing her and yelling at her , shaking her ... bill : and you got in the middle of it , of course you did . i would have done the same . brooke : yeah , of course i got in the middle of it . i 'm sick and tired of him bullying her and victimizing her like that . so i ran out there , i broke them up , and i did n't realize they were right next to the cliff . that 's not what i was focused on . i was focused on his hands on her arms . bill : brooke , you -- brooke , you do n't have to defend your position to me . brooke : okay . bill : i completely understand . brooke : yeah , well , ridge doesn't . bill : of course not . he 's never been able to see thomas for the monster that he is . that would mean admitting his own failures as a father . so , instead , he defends him , tries to justify his unjustifiable behavior . brooke : i did n't mean to push him over the edge , bill . really ... it was an accident . my momentum had just kind of pushed him backwards , and ... of course , i 'm the one to blame . ridge saw the whole thing . i 'm not sure we 'll be able to get past this . flo : i was afraid of what thomas would do , but i was also afraid of what exactly what happened -- losing everything and ending up in here . ridge : so , in other words , you thought of no one but yourself . flo : i feel guilty every single day , but , somehow , i just manage to convince myself that things would be better for everyone if they just stayed the way they were . ridge : better for you . flo : look . you came here to talk to me and ask me why i did the things i did , and i 'm just trying to explain it to you . hope and liam had ended their relationship , and they had moved on . hope had moved on with thomas and douglas , and liam was back with steffy , and they were bonding with -- ridge : excuse me . do you have any idea the kind of pain you put steffy through ? she adopted a little girl . she fell in love with her . so much that she became part of her dna . but it was all a lie . and that lie broke my daughter 's heart into a million pieces . but she 's strong . she did the right thing . she surrendered the baby with so much grace . you know why i know that ? i was there . i watched hope and liam walk out of the house with that little kid . my daughter was there , and she was strong . till she heard that little click of the door closing on that part of her life , forever . and my strong , beautiful daughter was standing there , and it seemed as if someone had just pulled the spine right out of her . and she collapsed into me . my little girl . and there 's nothing i could do to help her . so , florence ... i came here today because i wanted to see you face to face . i wanted to tell you how many hearts you have broken , and i want to tell you -- i wanted you to acknowledge all the pain and suffering that you have caused . my son is included in that . he got caught up in your web of lies . and he almost died . and you have nothing to say to that . flo : nothing that will matter . i 've already told you i regret everything , but that does n't help , and that does n't mean anything to you . ridge : no , it doesn't . it does n't mean anything . you know what does help , what does give me comfort ? is knowing that you 're gon na be here for a very long time , and , year after year , your beauty and your youth is gon na disappear , and the only thing you 're gon na have is the thought of what you did to all these people . i 'm not a bad person ... but i want you to suffer . i want you to suffer the way my family suffered , and , i promise you , i will make sure you keep on suffering until the last broken heart is mended .	ridge finds out from the doctor on the phone that thomas has a concussion and a couple of broken ribs but he 's making it all right . brooke says she is pleased . he continues to say she can call it an accident but the truth is thomas is in the hospital because his wife hates him . shauna visits flo in jail . she says it breaks her heart to tell her that she went to quinn but she is not going to help with bail . flo does not blame quinn . she got what she deserved and they are right . shauna has to tell her that thomas is in the hospital ; he fell off a cliff . bill tells katie that it does not matter where thomas is now , he and the rest of them will have to pay . if he thinks that falling off the cliff is the worst thing that can happen to him then he has another think coming . brooke continues with ridge all that thomas has done hurting her daughter so she feels her actions were justified . but now they are like strangers to each other both with different views . he says who he really wants is buckingham but he can not get to him right now . and brooke would be in jail if thomas had not lied . so she ought to go thank him . and if not buckingham , he can get to flo . he barrels past pam who comes straight to brooke and says there is so much drama around here and she could not help but notice the tension between ridge and brooke earlier . and all with good reason since they both have children on opposite sides . bill interrupts so she leaves him with brooke . ridge tells flo that she seems surprised to see him . first thing he does is show her a photo of her and the logan girls all hugging .. one big happy family . but she has lied from day one . she admits what she did was wrong . and she tried to tell thomas to do the right thing and he never did . she is not going to defend herself here . but she is glad thomas survived . he tells her she is a very beautiful woman . she could have anything she wanted . but she hurts people she says she cares for and he does not understand that . brooke tells bill that ridge is on the warpath as he went to see flo . bill says he hates to see the tension between her and ridge but flo will not skate for this .nor thomas . she gives her side of the accident and he says she does not have to defend herself to him . that would be ridge who always tries to justify his behavior and now thomas 's . she admits she is not sure they will ever get past this .
brooke : ridge , i realize that this is an incredible opportunity . ridge : well , then stop second - guessing yourself . brooke : i ca n't help it . sally just had a heart attack . ridge : brooke , that was not your fault . brooke : maybe not . but when she heard that i was going to take over her company -- ridge : all right , listen to me . sally is one of the toughest little gals that i 've ever known . she 's gon na be up and dancing again . that 's for damn sure . massimo : heart attack ? my ass ! sally : oh , stop it . blah blah blah . so my old ticker is n't actually on the skids after all . so what ? it ought to be after that bombshell you let your prodigal son drop on me . massimo : `` so what ? `` you led me to believe that you could be dying , for goodness sake . sally : i am dying , massimo . i am dying at the very thought of brooke logan taking over spectra fashions . clarke : massimo , you said so yourself . brooke does not belong at spectra . massimo : that 's right . but that was before i realized that the two of you are playing me for a fool . sally : no , not for a fool , massimo . just playing for a little time to see how things really are . and now i see it . simply because i am no longer at death 's door , your offer is rescinded . is that it , huh ? i know what 's going on here , massimo . do n't try and con me . you are afraid . for the first time in his life , the great massimo marone is absolutely terrified . terrified of losing his precious son . and i 'm the one who 's supposed to pay for that . judge : custody cases are always difficult , especially when both parties clearly love the child in question . but eric iii can only have one legal guardian , and that is why after great deliberation , i have decided to deny rick and amber forrester 's petition for adoption . amber : no . judge : having said that , the forresters have done an excellent job of raising young eric . therefore , i 'm granting them visitation , no less than two days every other week . rick : two days ? judge : it is imperative that you continue to be part of the boy 's life . he 'll need that stability during this time of transition . but mr. sharpe is the child 's natural father , a fact i simply can not overlook . amber : but we are -- we are his parents . no -- no , i 'm begging you , your honor , please , do n't take eric from us . please , he 'll think that he did something wrong and that we 're punishing him . eric -- eric , he loves us . he does n't want to be with deacon and macy . he wants to be with us . i 'm begging you , please , god , please . please . he -- he 's our son . he is our son . we are the only parents he 's ever known . judge : my heart goes out to you , mrs. forrester , but i must do what i believe to be in the best interest of the child . counselors , if i could have a word . amber : no . he 's just a little boy . he 's not gon na understand . he 's gon na think that i abandoned him and that we do n't love him or something . no . rick : amber , some here , come here . come here . deacon : amber -- amber , i promise you , we 'll take good care of him . i 'll be by to get little d later . amber : oh , no . oh .

bill : so is this how it 's gon na be around here , you moping around like somebody kicked your puppy ? liam : the woman i 'm supposed to marry packed her things and left our house last night . i 'm sorry i 'm not jovial enough for you . bill : son , a blind man could see this coming . katie : ( sighs ) bill : same song , second verse . you hit a little speed bump . hope exits the vehicle and starts walking . katie : speed bump -- is that what we 're calling steffy these days ? listen , liam spent the night with his ex - wife ... bill : ( sighs ) katie : the night before he was supposed to marry hope . she has every right to be upset , but i 'm sorry that she broke up with you . i 'm sorry for both of you . liam : thank you . bill : yeah , well , in the meantime , life goes on . so i wonder what hope has in store for you at another one of her little impromptu press conferences . katie : ( sighs ) liam : uh , you know what ? you can fill me in , but i 'm not watching that . steffy : hey , you . liam : hey . steffy : not so good today , huh ? liam : not so good . steffy : yeah . bill : steffy , it 's great to see you . steffy : mmm . bill : your timing could n't be better .

[ scene_break ] ( door closes ) thomas : ( sighs ) rick : hey . how did it go with hope after i left ? thomas : no drama . i took her to your mom 's house , sat with her for a while , and went home . rick : no word from liam ? thomas : no . i turned her phone off . rick : you see ? good . you 're already having a positive effect . thomas : how 's that ? rick : well , i mean , come on . if you were n't there , the phone would have been on , and liam would have gotten to her . thomas : i do n't know . she seems pretty adamant about being done this time . rick : yeah , well , liam 's won her back more than once . anyway , i hope that you 'll continue to be someone , you know , my sister can count on . thomas : just so you know , if hope needs me , i 'm there for her without any of your self - serving encouragement , by the way . rick : i 'm sorry thomas : how dense do you think i am ? you still have feelings for caroline we both know it . rick : the way that you still have feelings for hope , or are you gon na look me in the eye and tell me i 'm wrong ? thomas : no . rick : then it 's time to act , thomas . it 's time to show hope what it 's like to be with someone who puts her first -- her needs -- and what you could give her . thomas : i 'm having a hard time adjusting to you being to supportive . it does n't exactly track with our past relationship . rick : well , you 're the lesser of two evils . thomas : okay , well , that 's an answer i can believe . rick : if it were my choice , i would n't want hope with you or liam . it 's not an insult . it 's just the way it is . i 'd want her to be single , free to experience everything that a - a beautiful , talented young woman should , do the things , take the risks that i never got a chance to do because i tied myself down at too young of an age with amber . and most of all , i 'd like to see my sister living her life on her own terms instead of constantly trying to please some guy , especially one who 's not worthy of her . thomas : well , we 're both in agreement about liam . we both know what it 's like to grow up in a house with divided loyalties . rick : yeah . hope deserves better . thomas : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : are you sure about this , honey ? hope : m - hmm . i ca n't be with a man who is n't fully committed to me . brooke : liam is committed to you . hope : yeah , when he 's not sneaking around with steffy . ( sighs ) i - i - i 'm done , you know . i can not life my life always looking over my shoulder or being paranoid whenever liam comes home from work late . it 's just -- it 's -- it 's too demoralizing . ridge : ca n't really argue with that . brooke : yeah . ( sighs ) i know . i do understand . ( sighs ) but i am sorry . hope : um , i did something that was ... stupid and juvenile . um ... ( clears throat ) brooke : what ? you did something like that ? hope : oh , yeah , i did . um ... ( sighs ) okay , i had thomas spray - paint on the tower at liam 's house ... brooke : ( gasps ) hope : a spencer sword stabbing through a heart . ( chuckles ) brooke : oh . ( gasps ) ridge : vandalism -- interesting . hope : see what love 's driven me to do ? ( sighs ) brooke : honey , are sure it was your idea ... hope : yeah . brooke : and not thomas 's ? hope : no . it was -- it was mine . it was . it was mine . i mean , thomas came up with , you know , the design and painted it , but i was my idea . um ... brooke : ( sighs ) hope : he 's been really supportive . i mean , this has been a lot easier with him around . ridge : yeah , well , thomas does know how to be a good friend , i guess . caroline : anything i can do to help ? hope : oh , hi . uh ... ( sighs ) no . no . it 's going to be very brief . stephanie : so what 's going on ? eric : this is a press conference that nobody had any time to prepare for ? hope : well ... ( sighs ) um i have a very important announcement to make . [ scene_break ] katie : what are you doing here , as if i even have ask ? steffy : you know , i hate to disappoint you , katie , but i have no ulterior motive . i knew this press conference out of nowhere was gon na be difficult on liam . katie : so you just raced over here , because you 're all about liam . bill : i 'm glad someone is . liam : i 'm not watching it , by the way . katie : oh , sorry , you 're not needed . so why do n't you just run along , back to where you came from and give liam a chance to breathe ? bill : no . steffy stays . [ scene_break ] rick : the whole self - serving thing -- yeah , i can see why it would seem that way we both were stuck by the same lightning bolt when caroline stepped out of that limo , and you got the girl . thomas : a competitive type like you , i 'm having a hard time believing you 're okay with that . rick : well , there 's not much i can do about it . thomas : unless you divert me with hope . rick : come on . you think i 'd pimp my sister like that ? i love hope , enough to look past my reservations about you , that is , indeed , if you 're gon na be a man who treats her with respect that she deserves . thomas : look at you , rick the magnanimous . rick : rick , the overprotective brother . look , hope is too proud to tell you this , so i 'm gon na say it on her behalf . she needs you , even loves you . she wants you in her life . yeah , it -- it 's a delicate balance that requires finesse , but if you play your cards right , who knows ? this could work out better for everyone involved . thomas : you make a compelling argument , rick . you really do . ( sighs ) except for one thing -- hope 's still hung up on liam . rick : well , nothing a little time and gentle persuasion wo n't cure . you should try that . hope 's press conference is about to start . i 'm sure it would mean a lot if you were there . [ scene_break ] hope : i keep going over things in my head . i 'm trying to pinpoint where exactly liam and i got so off track that -- that steffy could just swoop in and ... you know , we -- we really loved each other . brooke : you still do . hope : love is n't enough this time . brooke : honey . hope : oh , i ca n't believe i 'm saying that . ( sighs ) brooke : no , love is always enough . hope : ( sighs ) brooke : maybe it 's just bad timing . you and liam can always find your way back to each other . hope : i ca n't base my life around that . brooke : okay , nobody 's expecting you to . hope : ( sighs ) i mean , i understand his frustration . i - i - i do . i mean , we were supposed to get together the night before the wedding . he cooked this really great meal , and then i did n't show up . brooke : because stephanie was n't feeling well ... hope : yeah . brooke : and she did n't want anybody to know . so you had to stay with her . and you could n't tell liam . hope : yeah , he thought i blew him off again . you know ... but even so , i mean , for him to go out and do the things that he did with steffy -- i ... you know what ? it 's -- it 's not important . it does n't matter anymore , because over is over . [ scene_break ] steffy : you know , it does n't seem like it , but it 's gon na get easier . liam : ( clears throat ) is it ? steffy : yeah . i just ca n't believe hope walked out on you again . we did n't do anything the night before your wedding or any night since . bill : yeah , that was your first mistake . katie : here we go . ( sighs ) bill : hey ... ( scoffs ) i have tried to be supportive of liam 's relationship with hope . clean slate -- that 's what she got from me in italy . since then , she 's left him twice . it 's time for you to stop moping round . get over this high - strung basket case liam : dad , that is enough . no more talking about hope . i 'm serious . katie : okay . i -- bill does n't mean to upset you . bill : yes , i do . liam : oh , well , congratulations . mission accomplished . katie : can you just lighten up a little bit ? jeez ! steffy : hey , um ... bill : ( sighs ) steffy : i 'm gon na show you something you wo n't believe . bill : try me . okay , you got me . what is it wait a minute . that looks like the tower at the beach house , but what ... steffy : courtesy of hope . she had thomas spray - paint it for her last night -- sort of a parting gesture . bill : are you freaking kidding me ? [ scene_break ] donna : it 's only fair . if you 're the one greeting the press , i should be the one escorting them that way both our bases are covered . pam : i hate it when you make sense . mercifully , it does n't happen that often . donna : oh . pam : ( gasps ) jarrett ! jarrett : pamela . mm . pam : hello . jarrett : you look marvelous , as always . pam : oh , thank you . flattery will get you anything you like , including a lemon bar . i 'm famous for them , you know . jarrett : i am well aware of that , yes . donna : oh , boy , are you in for a treat again .

( camera shutters clicking ) ( applause ) liam : ( sighs )	thomas tells rick that he will be there for hope so he does n't need rick 's self - serving encouragement to be with her . he took her to her mom 's place last night , turned off her phone so liam could n't get to her and then left . they both agree that hope deserves better than liam . rick tries to show thomas the way that it would be a win / win for everyone concerned if thomas was paired with hope . hope tells brooke and ridge that she ca n't live her life always looking over her shoulder and wondering what liam is gon na do next with steffy . she admits she did something stupid and juvenile by having thomas spray paint a pierced heart on liam 's house . she tells all that she is calling a press conference as she has a very important announcement . steffy shows up at spencer 's and katie does her best to get her to leave , but bill trumps that by saying she is staying . steffy tells liam that he did n't do anything wrong the night before and it will get better with time . bill says it did n't just happen once , but twice and it 's time for liam to stop moping and get on with his life . steffy shows bill a picture of the spray - painted house . bill goes bananas .

[ scene_break ] brooke : wyatt is your son . and you will forgive him . bill : well , he 's going to have to earn it . brooke : he was just a concerned young man sticking up for his little brother , and that 's a good thing ! whatever he said about you or me or us -- that 's gon na change when he sees us together . same for hope . mm . we need to keep this family together . bill : well ... we ca n't do that by ourselves . wyatt 's gon na have to meet us halfway . and after what happened in this office today ... i do n't know if he 'll be willing to do that . brooke : things happen in the heat of the moment . do n't worry . he 'll cool down . and so will you . bill : there is another side to this . brooke : what ? bill : liam . he has his own issues with wyatt . brooke : [ groans ] hope ? bill : yeah . wyatt 's kind of into her . brooke : mm - hmm . well , she did ... find him , bring him back into the family , and -- bill : he kissed her , brooke . brooke : [ scoffs ] yes , but that was innocent ! bill : innocent ? i do n't think there 's anything innocent where wyatt 's concerned . it 's probably a good thing that he 's out of the house . [ scene_break ] wyatt : i 'm not kidding , mom ! hope really asked me to stay . quinn : i 'm sure that went over well with her fiancé . wyatt : well , i left before liam got back . i asked her to come with me , actually . quinn : you did ? wyatt : yeah . and for a minute there , i -- i think she was actually considering it . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt . wyatt : i know ! i know . quinn : there are any number of women in l.a . wyatt : yeah , but i 'm not looking for just anyone ! i was n't looking for hope , but then she found me ! and i 'm glad she did ! quinn : you 're not pursuing this , right ? wyatt : maybe . maybe not . quinn : okay . wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : i am so glad you 're back . wyatt : yeah . quinn : mm . [ scene_break ] liam : it kind of feels like we just moved in together , does n't it ? i mean , my dad 's gone . wyatt 's gone . cheers to that . hope : just the two of us . liam : i mean , that is kind of the plan , right ? hope : mm - hmm ! liam : we 're supposed to feel like a new beginning ? hope : the beginning will start ... when your divorce is final . liam : cool . gives me time to practice . hope : [ laughing ] yeah , like we really need that . liam : i love you . hope : i love you , too . singer : i ca n't stop smilin ' , 'cause your lovin ' tastes so real this kind of seems to be the first time that i feel a lovely kind of satisfaction -- baby , come my way give me somethin ' more than action , and i 'll surely stay 'cause everything 's good , everything 's goo - o - d everything 's good , feelin ' the best i ever have whoa , everything 's good , everything 's goo - o - d	wyatt tells hope that he is very serious . this does n't have to be goodbye . brother dearest does n't want him here so staying for him is not an option . he 's out . but she could do something crazy and come with him . she reminds him that he is liam 's brother and you do n't just kick your brother out of your house . wyatt divulges that he would if his brother felt the way he did about hope . he tells hope that he 's serious but he 's not going to twist her arm . he knows that she knows that there is something great going on between them . she says he is being ridiculous . she is engaged to liam and she 's not running off with wyatt . he says too bad , his loss .or he thinks it is more like hope 's loss . he makes a move to leave and she says he can not leave . the three of them are going to sit down and talk this over . wyatt says no . if hope starts sticking up for him , that is a large part of the reason that liam wants him to go . before he leaves , he quickly kisses hope and wishes her good luck with liam . bill is in katie 's office and hugs brooke when she comes in ( is he crazy or what ? ) she asks what did wyatt say to make him so angry . bill says it is not what he said , but he got carried away and tried to get physical with him . but not a problem as he put him in his place . she guesses this is over bill 's relationship with brooke . he says wyatt must have gotten an ear full from katie . she has a lot of friends and supporters so it 's only natural that they 'd re - act . brooke just hates that wyatt is one of those supporters now along with hope . he pulls her close and says it does n't matter . it wo n't change the way they feel about each other . they kiss several times . he tells her wyatt 's issue is with bill not brooke . he was married to her sister , they split and now he is with brooke . so what if people judge them ; they know what they have . and nothing anyone says is going to change that . he kisses her again . she pulls away and says she just wants this to be right . not just for them , but for their children . bill says he wants that too but it starts with respect and wyatt has n't shown him any . he wishes he was more like liam . she points out that wyatt is not , he 's just like his father . but she will not let him be estranged from his son . that is just unacceptable to her . alone hope thinks about wyatt 's kiss but is interrupted when liam comes home . she tells him that he just missed his brother . and he told her what just happened at spencer 's . liam says he disrespected bill . hope defends by saying he was angry and he 's not the only one who lost control . bill and her mother are not exactly the pillar of strength just now . she cautions liam that this is his brother , bill 's son and surely they are not going to cut him out of the family . liam opines that it is best that wyatt does n't live there . he does n't trust him for starters and he came in and took over . he did the same thing at work , provoked his father so yes he is glad that he is gone . she walks off and mouths that he is his brother . liam says he does n't want this to be an issue between them . she says she does n't either but now she feels responsible . she brought wyatt into the family assuming they would welcome him and now they are kicking him out . liam says wyatt will land on his feet just fine . he did this to himself . hope says he was only trying to defend a helpless little boy . liam points out that will was not asking to be defended and this is one of the times he thinks they will have to agree to disagree . she wants to know if he thinks bill and brooke can justify being together . liam says that is not his call nor it is hope 's . and it certainly did n't justify the way wyatt treated bill the way he did . he did n't like wyatt kissing hope and if he stayed he might do that again , so he is glad he is gone and he does n't have to deal with that again .

[ scoffs ] it was some of my best work . bill : it was you ? you pushed ivy off that bridge ? quinn : i did what i had to do . bill : well -- what were you even doing in paris ? quinn : well , i jumped on the same flight as ivy and liam . in a disguise , of course . bill : well , if we did n't know it already , you are completely insane . quinn : i did it for our son and for hope . liam is the wrong guy for her ! bill : it 's not up to you , quinn ! quinn : oh , come on . i could n't live with myself if i did n't take care of this one last little detail , and look what happened , bill ! success ! hope and wyatt are married . they could n't be happier . bill : and you messed up liam 's life . do you not get that i have three sons ? not just wyatt to worry about . quinn : i only have one son , and i do whatever is necessary to get the job done . same as you would do . bill : hope and liam need to know what you did , and since i know you are n't going to tell them , i will . quinn : no , no , no , you 're not going to tell them anything , bill . you want to know why ? [ scene_break ] hope : was i out of line ? wyatt : telling ivy to step off your ex ? i can see why she might take offense to that . hope : i am just trying to protect him . wyatt : it 's sweet , but he probably does n't want you to . hope : probably not . wyatt : nope . hope : no , but there 's just something about ivy . wyatt : hope , you got to let this one play out , okay ? let liam figure things out on his own . okay ? and to be honest with you , i do n't think it 's that weird that they 're drawn to each other . hope : no , i do n't think that liam is attracted to her . i think that he was looking for a friend , for someone to lean on . i mean , he does n't need someone making moves on him so soon . wyatt : he 's a guy . we do n't ever not need that . hope : all right . fine . okay . maybe some day , yes , down the line , it 's fine , okay . but he needs some time . wyatt : liam 's gon na be okay . do n't worry . you should think about this from ivy 's perspective . i mean , liam is her hero . he jumped into the seine to save her . [ scene_break ] oliver : good job , sheila . the party was a success , the meat was fantastic . aly : it was so much fun . great having caroline around again , too . thanks for doing this . oliver : we 're gon na grab some ice cream . i 'm paying if you guys want to come . aly : yeah . liam : uh , rain check for me . thank you . ivy : mm . aly : hey , can i talk to you for a second ? ivy : mm - hmm . aly : listen , i 'm sorry tonight did n't go as well as -- ivy : oh , no , it 's okay . oliver : you ready ? aly : yeah . i 'll help you finish cleaning up when i get home , okay ? ivy : okay .

[ chuckles ] and we 'll just leave it at that . liam : night 's not over yet .	a tired , frazzled hope comes home and is greeted by happy hubby with a kiss . she wraps her arms around his neck and says it feels so good to be home . he says he got them a pizza and a bag of salad for later . he quips that he is still getting used to this whole husband thing and microwaving for the two of them . and it 's not just pizza but her favorite with a lethal amount of garlic so he better kiss her now with a preemptive strike . with eric out of town , ivy steps in as hostess and is having an australian barbecue for a group or a barbie as they call it back home . oliver says he is the grill master . liam tells bill that he is supposed to be there right now . bill tells him to get out of here and go get some barbecue , he is looking sort of peaked and skinny right now . he says he knows liam is dealing with a lot right now with losing hope and he is disappointed in his brother so go hang out with his friends , have a few beers and have fun . do n't stop living . liam says he knows bill is right and he ca n't keep spending every night with boo . bill says that is sad , spending all his nights with a cat , very sad . liam says and it was very kind of ivy to invite him so he 'll be on his way . however , before he gets out , quinn knocks on bill 's door and comes in . he gives that perturbed look and asks why she is there . she tells them to calm down . she has no sword and she will not touch either of theirs unless they want her to . liam starts to leave and says he gets physically ill when she is around . she quips that he ought to see a doctor as she thinks there is a pill for that . bill adds or a vaccination . he asks morticia what she wants . she says a lot of things .most of them probably not legal . when he does n't laugh , she says brooke must have taken away his sense of humor . bill grouses that he is happy hope is with wyatt but he also wants his other son to be happy too . quinn says maybe he can move on with this ivy .poison ivy . wyatt tells hope that he does n't want to talk shop all night but wonders if she has had a chance to see some of ivy 's designs . she 's really not bad and gon na give his mother a run for her money in designing jewelry . hope says hmmmm , ivy may be more like his mother than he even realizes . wyatt is n't sure what she means by that .
steffy : you 're really doing this ? liam : it 's the right thing , steffy . the truth is always the right thing . wyatt : got your message . what 's going on ? liam : well , some things need to be said . wyatt : to me ? uh - oh . should i be nervous ? liam : no , no , no , not you . dad . wyatt : dad ? all right , what 's he done now ? liam : well , if you honestly do n't know , i would sit . this ai n't gon na be pretty . thomas : sit for what ? liam : you 'll see . thanks for coming . caroline : you did n't really give us much of a choice . we were on our way to the airport . liam : i know . i - i appreciate you taking a later flight , but you both need to be here for this . bill : well , this ca n't be a surprise party . it 's not my birthday . liam : it 's not a party . caroline : liam called us here . bill : is that so ? all right , son . what 's this about ? quinn : mm . [ humming ] ridge : all right . okay , okay . what is it now ? quinn : huh ? ridge : you 're singing , you 're smiling . what 's going on ? quinn : of course i 'm smiling . nobody 's shooting at me , my husband is home , and best of all , sheila has moved out . ridge : and that 's the best thing . quinn : hey . ridge : not having somebody stop shooting at you , you ... quinn : having sheila out of my life . i 'd dodge bullets any day of the week over seeing her face again . [ chuckles ] klutz . sheila : anything interesting ? charlie : [ sputters ] holy crap ! what are you -- how 'd you get in here ? sheila : you did n't see me come in ? charlie : i -- wh -- i -- may i help you ? sheila : charlie ... i never thought you 'd ask . charlie : you are not supposed to be here . i know you got the boot from the estate . sheila : but you 're gon na help me get back in . charlie : why in the world would i do that ? sheila : because quinn still has feelings for ridge . and we 're gon na prove it . ridge : so , you 're okay ? quinn : with sheila gone ? i 'm more than okay . ridge : you and dad . you 're okay . because when i walked in the other day , it seemed like -- quinn : look , he was upset , all right ? understandably . i let things get out of control . hey , thank you for sticking up for me . your support means a lot . ridge : of course . i 'm just glad that dad is home . you got your husband back . liam : i think you know what this is about . bill : i 'm happy to have a conversation with you , liam . privately . [ door opens ] sally : am i late ? liam : nope . right on time . thomas : sally , what -- what are you doing here ? why -- why is she a part of this ? bill : she 's not . none of you are , so get out . liam : actually , this is all about sally ... and you and caroline and the lies my father tells . sally : lies involving me ? bill : do n't do it , liam . you 'll regret it . liam : you want to say it , or should i ? caroline 's not sick . thomas : i 'm sorry . what ? liam : she 's not dying , tom . she never was . charlie : look , even if quinn still has feelings , she 's keeping them in check . sheila : that 's not fair to eric . he 's been through enough . at this stage of his life , he deserves so much better than quinn . and you are gon na help me get rid of her . quinn : right . i have a second chance with eric . i do n't want to waste it worrying about sheila . ridge : i 'm glad to hear that . quinn : you should give it a try . ridge : give what a try ? quinn : second chances . brooke . ridge : brooke is married to bill . quinn : i know , but do n't give up on what you 're supposed to have in life . you know , if it 's -- if it 's brooke , you 're gon na have it . ridge : why do you sound so confident ? quinn : oh , because i 'm doing this whole `` trust in life working out the way it 's supposed to `` thing . yeah . and it 's working . you know ? i 'm living proof . thomas : you 're not dying ? wyatt : why do we think she 's dying ? ! bill : everybody out ! now ! thomas , caroline , stay ! caroline : god , it 's over , uncle bill ! liam : my dad needed spectra to fail so he could get the land it 's sitting on , and , tom , he thought getting you out of town would make it easier . sally : you 've got to be kidding me . bill : yep , he 's kidding ! ha ! that liam . he 's a real cut - up . making light of your cousin 's illness ? wyatt : dad , what 's going on ? bill : stay out of it , wyatt ! you 're gon na end up like your brother ! jobless , homeless , and out of an inheritance ! steffy : just calm down for a second , please . thomas : calm down ? you want us to calm down ? you want us to calm down ? ! i 've been in new york ! i left my life , you son of a bitch , for your stupid tower and your stupid lie ! this is all for you ! i left sally , and i left spectra when they needed me the most ! bill : your son needed you more . thomas : my son had me ! and , you ... caroline : [ sobs ] thomas : you just went along with all of this , and you just -- you just did n't think how it might affect my life ! caroline : i did n't want to ! i hated it ! i hated it ! but i had you back , and i had our family together ! thomas : stop ! stop ! this is insane . this is all -- this is all insane ! i ca n't believe i am a part of this . i am sorry . i am so sorry . i am sorry . if i had any idea about any of this , i would -- sally : i know , i know . it 's okay . liam : actually , it 's not . it 's really not okay . 'cause my dad went a lot further than you realize . bill : liam , i swear on all that i have -- liam : what do i have to lose , dad ? ! i 'm not gon na stop until they know everything , so ... wyatt : okay , there 's more ? liam : oh , yeah . yeah , there 's more . my dad figured shipping you off to new york would take too long , so he tried something more drastic . bill : do n't listen to any of this nonsense ! liam : why let spectra fizzle out on its own when he could make it happen immediately , when he could make it happen right before your fashion show ? sally : oh , my god . the fire ? wyatt : that was an accident . right ? liam : oh , no . was it ? quinn : this is kind of what i was thinking right there . ridge : you know what i was thinking ? quinn : hmm ? ridge : you give good advice . quinn : oh . i think so . ridge : so i 'm not gon na give up on brooke , however unlikely that whole scenario sounds to me , but ... quinn : why unlikely ? because she 's married to bill ? i think that kind of works in your favor , because , you know , he 's bill spencer . he 's gon na shoot himself in the foot eventually . ridge : that 's a good point . quinn : yeah , i know . [ cellphone chimes ] oh . [ sighs ] ridge : everything okay ? quinn : oh , it 's ivy . she 's down in shipping . there 's a problem with one of the suppliers , and he 's blaming the whole thing on her . she said she needs her bad cop . i think we make a really good team , but why does she always get to be the good one ? ridge : i think you know why . but i have an idea . why do n't you try throwing in the grumpy co - c.e.o . to see what happens ? quinn : that 's a good idea . and thank you ... for everything . come on , grumpy c.e.o . ridge : co - c.e.o . quinn : co - c.e.o . that was mine . sheila : oh , they 're not even hiding it . charlie : who ? what ? sheila : ridge and quinn . charlie : [ sighs ] it 's a business , sheila . they work here . sheila : no , but , look , they 're waiting for the elevator together . i mean , i bet they 're off to some sort of secret love nest . charlie : [ scoffs ] i know every square inch of this building . there is no secret love nest . sheila : hmm . then you know what ? he 's taking her to the steam room . that 's probably it . ridge does n't have very many original ideas . maybe we can stop them before they get there . charlie : we do n't even know if they 're gon na do anything . sheila : but you can do that , right ? you can stop the elevator ? charlie : well , sure . all i have to do is press those two buttons there , but listen , i do n't think -- sheila : well , then push them . charlie : what ? sheila : push them . charlie : no ! there 's no way i 'm gon na p -- ridge : ooh . quinn : what the -- ridge : you okay ? quinn : yeah , yeah , i think so . [ alarm ringing ] [ alarm blaring ] ridge : ah , great . try the call button . [ dialing ] [ telephone ringing ] charlie : all right . what are you up to ? sheila : no , it 's what are they up to ? i can tell you right now it 's no good . we do n't have to let ridge and quinn get all the way to the steam room . they can betray eric right here . sally : liam , you were there when we found out the wiring was bad . it was an electrical issue . liam : i know it started out that way , but then i made the unfortunate decision of telling my dad i put it out , and it inspired him . thomas : god , you selfish bastard . people could have been killed in that fire ! bill : because of faulty wiring ! liam : no , because of you ! sally : you would really go that far , all for some stupid skyscraper ? bill : it was a fire , all right ? do n't let liam 's overactive imagination -- wyatt : then deny it ! say liam 's wrong . bill : liam has never been more wrong in his life . [ knock on door ] oh - ho - ho ! more people ! who else did you invite ? ! little red riding hood 's granny ? she gon na chew me out ? ! or that scrawny tailor ? he gon na choke me with his tape measure ? [ door opens ] i do n't have time -- liam : good . you got my message . lt . baker : indeed . well , i 'm intrigued . why am i here ? liam : to arrest my father . steffy : liam , are you sure ? lt . baker : on what charge ? liam : arson . my dad is responsible for the fire at spectra fashions . ridge : anybody ! quinn : right ? [ alarm rings ] come on . should have alerted somebody , right ? ridge : it 's why they have that , yeah . quinn : you know what ? i 'll just call ivy , and i 'll let her know that we 're ... stuck . and there 's no reception in the elevator . ridge : and i left my phone on the desk . quinn : nice . [ sighs ] ridge : guess we 'll have to wait it out . [ alarm rings ] charlie : we ca n't do this . i really think we should -- sheila : no , do n't you do that . do n't forget , i can tell pammy everything at any time . that 's right . why do n't you watch for yourself and see why quinn does n't deserve to be with eric . quinn : looks like we 're gon na be here awhile . [ sighs ] ridge : you might be right . at least it 's good company , right ? quinn : yeah . ridge : party in the elevator . quinn : [ sighs ] no , parties would be , like , food and drinks . i think this is more like a forced break from work . ridge : okay . quinn : also it gives me a chance to say a few things . sheila : just look at them sitting so close to one another , almost drooling on each other . quinn : i 'm really grateful that eric 's back , you know , that he 's home with me . ridge : yeah . quinn : and i 'm not gon na do anything to jeopardize that . you know , i 'm not gon na fight with sheila , whatever it was between the two of us . [ sighs ] i know this is gon na sound really strange . um , but , uh ... i miss you . [ chuckles ] ridge : you do ? quinn : i do . i miss our closeness . i mean , you know , keeping that secret , it was an awful secret , but it , uh , it bonded us . i - i told you things i 've never told anyone , and , you know , i mean , we became friends . sheila : it 's happening . charlie : what are you doing ? sheila : i 'm gathering evidence . [ camera shutter clicks ] ridge : the way we started was rough . quinn : yeah . ridge : all i wanted to do is find out things about you and use them against you and bury you . quinn : [ sighs ] ridge : i do n't want to do that anymore , 'cause i do n't want to lose what we have , either . i 'll always be here for you . sheila : oh , come on ! do it , ridge . do it . kiss her . kiss her like you have so many times before . [ camera shutter clicks ] it 'll be the kiss of death for her marriage . lt . baker : that 's a very serious accusation . bill : you have to excuse my son , lieutenant . sadly , it seems that he 's still suffering from the effects of his concussion . liam : oh , for god 's sake . bill : i apologize for wasting your time . it 's bad enough that liam 's little meltdown has created a family crisis . but to drag you into his delusion is -- is just beyond the pale . lt . baker : no need to apologize . i enjoy doing my job . liam : for the record , he admitted it . said he arranged the fire , said he had no regrets . bill : never said it . liam : what were the words you used ? `` fair play `` ? bill : this is ridiculous . there 's no proof . there 's no evidence . sally : we know how much you want the property . we can testify to that . thomas : and the lies that you have told . just the effort that you 've put into making spectra fail and me leave for new york . lt . baker : what 's this ? thomas : i 'll tell you what this is . this is bill spencer convincing me that caroline is dying . and i believed it . i did . and he knew that i would want to go and be by her side while she still had a chance so we could make a family for my son ! fell for it . and i left spectra while they were vulnerable . lt . baker : is this true ? caroline : unfortunately . bill : nothing to do with this so - called arson . lt . baker : if you 're determined to make spectra fail , it 's got a lot to do with it . what 's the reasoning , anyway ? liam : he wanted to put a skyscraper where spectra currently stands . liam : nobody believes it was an accident , dad . bill : what i do n't believe is that i called you son , that i gave you my name ! liam : actually , i 'm quite proud to call myself a spencer . just not the way that you represent the name . living by your own rules , profit at all costs , not a care in the world about the people you hurt . the thing is , you do n't just love money . you worship it . you worship that building . lieutenant baker , my father is one of the most rapacious men i have ever met . he is pathologically self - serving . and it always bothered me . i always hated it , but i always pretended that his deficit of morals would n't reflect on me . the thing is , that 's not true , though . and i do n't want to do it anymore . my father committed a crime . he committed a crime . he 's responsible for the fire at spectra , and i think he deserves to pay . lt . baker : we 're talking years in prison if this leads to a conviction . are you sure you 're prepared to do this ? bill : he 's grandstanding , making up lies ! liam : no , you are the liar ! you lie ! you 're the one who makes this family something to be ashamed of ! you know , i used to -- i used to be proud of this . and now the idea that i would even be associated with you is an embarrassment to me ! but do n't worry ! while you 're in prison , wyatt and i will rebuild this family . we will rebuild this company , and we will finally make the spencer name mean something good ! lt . baker : so , liam , is this some family squabble , some disagreement between you and your father ? liam : no , it is not . lt . baker : so you 're prepared to testify against him ? you understand the consequences ? liam : yes . lt . baker : well ... then i guess we 're gon na take you in . bill : liam , fix this . tell them it is n't true . liam . please . . .	liam tells steffy that the truth is always the best thing . he calls wyatt in who is worried it might be against him . bill comes in and says it ca n't be a party as it is not his birthday . he wants to know what this is about . ridge catches quinn humming and asks what is up with her , humming and smiling . she says she is back home , no one is shooting at her and sheila has moved out . of course she is happy . sheila sneaks into the office and wants charlie to help her again . he retorts that even if quinn still has some feelings for ridge that she is keeping them in check . sheila says that is not good enough ; eric deserves better than that . sally walks into bill 's office . thomas can not imagine why she is involved in this and why she is here . liam says she in particular is involved so bill will tell them or he will . bill tells them to all get out and for liam to forget this . so liam speaks up and says caroline is not sick ; she never was . that was bill 's plan . bill asks them again all to get out . thomas shouts that he has been in new york all because of him . he left sally and spectra when they needed him the most . he says this is insane and apologizes to sally . he starts in on caroline for going along with the lie . liam tells bill he is not going to stop until they know everything . bill planned all of this just before sally 's fashion show . he looks at a very angry bill to fill in the blanks . sheila looks over charlie 's shoulder at the camera views and sees quinn and ridge get on the elevator . sheila suggests they are probably going to their secret love nest . actually quinn got a fax from ivy to come help her in shipping . sheila hits the stop button to the elevator trapping them inside .
bill : forrester can be pretty dense , but he has to know that you did n't want to intentionally hurt thomas . me , on the other hand ... brooke : he could have died , bill . bill : oh , gee , that would have been a real loss . but i 'm glad that you do n't have to live with that . brooke : i do n't think ridge is ever gon na be able to forgive me for that . i mean , i know what it must have looked like . i was running at thomas . i thought that he was attacking my daughter , but hope said that he was just apologizing . bill : so what ? you see a lunatic with his hands on your daughter on the edge of a cliff , and you 've got to act . fast . brooke : ridge does n't see him that way . he does n't see any of this the way that i do . ridge : everyone involved in this travesty is gon na pay . flo : as they should . i 'm not asking for forgiveness , and i do n't want you to take pity on me . but you should know what really happened . i did n't know what reese had done or what he had planned . i did n't know hope or steffy -- ridge : you did know that beth was n't your child , and you signed adoption papers . flo : reese told me i was helping . ridge : you stole a baby , twice . once from hope , once from steffy . flo : you 're right . i should have told the truth . i wanted to so many times , but ... ridge : but you did n't want to give up this new life of yours . flo : no , no , no . that 's -- that 's where you do n't get it . i -- i could n't enjoy this new life that i had because i hated myself every single day for not having the courage to speak up . but , in the end , it was your son who kept me quiet . bill : unbelievable . ridge blames you . brooke : yeah . he thinks i reacted the way i did because i hate his son . bill : well , then he does n't know you at all . or he does n't know thomas . brooke : well , he still sees thomas as a little boy . he does n't see him as a many that would do anything to get my daughter to marry him . bill : and i 'm sure he 's really playing up the helpless sympathy card , laying in that hospital bed . brooke : i do n't feel sorry for him , bill . and i certainly am not going to thank him for showing me mercy . not after what he did to our children . vision 's improved . thomas : the headache 's not . you 'll have that for a while , along with a few aches and pains , considering your broken ribs . but , with the proper treatment and rest , your symptoms should improve . thomas : i 'm just happy to be alive . you should be , thomas . you survived a hell of a fall . this could have been an extremely tragic accident . thomas : hey , i -- brooke : get away from my daughter ! thomas : i just -- brooke : get away from her ! hope : thomas ! ridge : thomas made a bad decision , keeping your secret , but he did n't steal beth . flo : but he did n't want hope to have her back . look , ridge ... i know that thomas is your son , and you care about him , obviously , but ... thomas is n't just a bystander in all of this . he married hope , and he knew the truth , and he chose not to tell her . and he threatened to destroy our lives in anyone wanted to tell her the truth . and after what happened to emma , i mean ... ridge : wait , what does that mean , `` what happened to emma ? `` flo : oh , you -- you don't ... there are a lot of people who think that thomas is responsible for emma 's death . bill : using his weakened state to tug at those heartstrings . so freakin ' transparent . brooke : it did n't work on hope , thank god . but i could see it had a huge impact on ridge . bill : yeah , of course it did . conned by his own kid , yet again . brooke : thomas is his son . i can see why he would want to see the best in him . i get it ! but i ca n't ! not after what he did to hope and liam . it was cruel and it was calculated . and there 's no way i 'm going to apologize for misjudging him because i did n't ! ridge is the one who should open his eyes and see things clearly . bill : [ scoffs ] maybe his ears are n't working , either . you 've told him what happened , and he wants to apologize ? brooke : yes , he wants me to thank thomas for not accusing me of attempted murder . really ? i -- i 'm not a criminal ! thomas is the one acting like a criminal . bill : wow , and i guess this fall did n't have any impact on him , either , if he 's still trying to make inroads with hope . brooke : it was frightening . you should have heard the things that was saying , how much he still loves her , how he hopes that she can forgive him one day ... bill : my nephew and granddaughter were only part of his plan . there is something seriously wrong with thomas , brooke , and if ridge ca n't see that , there 's something wrong with him . thomas is a sociopath . brooke : hope and liam , they are so happy right now . they have their lives back on track , they 're raising beth . the last thing they need is to think about thomas . bill : you leave him to me . brooke : wait . bill ... i 'm not asking you to do anything . bill : well , somebody has to do something . ridge : you are in no position to make accusations against anyone . flo : i 'm just telling you this because thomas is your son , and i think that you need to know . ridge : i need to know what ? what do i need to know ? you think you have something to tell me that i do n't know already ? what could you possibly say ? you lie the moment you open your mouth . from the day you got here , you lie . that 's all you do ! sir ! ridge : i 'm sorry . flo : i think thomas did more than lie to keep this secret . ridge : no . flo : maybe you just do n't know that side of him . i mean , you 're his dad . why -- why would you see that side of him ? but , if you did , you would understand why i kept quiet . ridge : okay , i 'm sorry for interrupting you . so , what is it , exactly ? thomas is responsible for everything ? he 's responsible for emma 's death , for all your lies ? what is it ? flo : he let hope believe that her baby was dead so that she would marry him . he was so obsessed with her that nothing else mattered , not even his own son ! and what do you think someone like that would do if someone got in their way of getting what they want ? because that 's exactly what emma was trying to do , and look what happened to her . she ended up dead . i think your son has some serious issues , ridge . and i think that he 's guilty of a very serious crime . we 're done . guard , i 'm ready . [ door unlocks ] bill : ah ! there 's our bright - eyed boy ! how 's the boo - boo ? thomas : bill ? bill : you recognize me ! that 's good . you 're doing fine . thomas : what do you want ? bill : your full attention . what you did to my granddaughter , her family , my family ... it upsets me . the way you treated my nephew , stealing hope from liam ... you know , i 've been working on myself . number - one priority -- keep the temper in check . everyone says i should do that , and they 're right . they 're right . and i 've made progress . now , normally , i would have walked in here and choked you out . now , i still could , and god knows you deserve it . but i 'm not gon na do that , and i am so proud of myself ! but , on the other hand .. i 'll be damned if i can let this go . that 's what you 'd like , right ? just gon na smooth it over , sweep it under the rug ... apologize for your mistake and move on ? a mistake , right ? i mean , that is what you want to call it . just blink once for yes , twice for no . never mind . just keep lying there , looking stupid . well , this mistake is going to have consequences . and that 's not a concept you 're entirely familiar with . and i ca n't wait to teach you how it works . katie : so ... thomas falls off a cliff , and suddenly , he 's a new man ? brooke : he realized what he was doing , and he regrets it all . katie : so what , he does n't turn you into detective sanchez and that proves that he 's sincere ? brooke : i wish i could believe him . i really do . katie : well , for the sake of your marriage , you need to deal with this . thomas has been a source of tension for a while . brooke : yes , and it got worse since the accident . ridge and i have never been this far apart . and i still ca n't believe what thomas has done to hope . there is a dark side to him , katie , darker than we 've ever seen before . he got as close to hope as he possibly could , and then he watched her suffer . i ca n't forgive that . even for ridge . i 'm not gon na pretend that that 's okay . thomas : are you threatening me ? bill : threatening you ? [ chuckles ] if i was threatening you , you would n't have to ask . but , you know , there you go . you see how easy it is for these things to get misinterpreted . like when brooke saw you on the edge of the cliff with your hands on her daughter . now , if hope really had nothing to fear from you , then you have nothing to fear from me . thomas : i 'm supposed to be resting . bill : and hope was supposed to be a mother , and liam and hope were supposed to be parents . thomas : i did n't steal their baby from them . bill : you did everything you could to make sure she would n't get her back , did n't you ? so , as far as i 'm concerned , it 's the same difference . i mean , i understand how you can fixated on something and lose perspective , but you -- [ laughs ] i mean , you -- you took this to a whole nother level . you keep a baby from its mother , you let parents and their families mourn the loss of a child that you know full well is alive ? well , my man , that 's just a whole nother level of sick . thomas : look , bill , i do n't expect forgiveness , but i apologized to hope . bill : yeah , i know what you did , you twisted freak . you laid it on thick , your poured it out your black heart . well , nobody 's buying it . no , that 's not entirely true . ridge , he -- he 's going with it , but he has to . otherwise , he has to admit to himself that his firstborn son is an obsessive lunatic , a complete loser . now , i know you did n't start this deception , but you did n't do anything to bring it to an end , either . reese and flo , jail . zoe and xander , fired from forrester . everybody is paying a price , but here 's tommy the choo- choo . `` i think i can get away it . i think i can get away it . `` all wrapped up in his father 's ignorance and his own lame excuses . i talked to brooke . and ridge is actually defending you . well , you ca n't defend the indefensible . and i 'm gon na make sure that you pay for what you 've done . ridge : spencer ! there 's no need for you to be here . what is this ? katie : ridge thinks this is okay ? because that 's not how he acted when douglas exposed his father 's lies . brooke : ridge is n't excusing thomas for what he did , but he wants me to thank him for not sending me to jail . katie : what ? brooke : can you believe it ? this is the man that i love , the man that i married , the man that i should rely on . i do n't want to get in a big argument with ridge , i don't . but i do n't trust thomas . in fact , i think that he 's trying to manipulate us all over again . i let him walk away one too many times . i 'm not gon na do that anymore . there 's a lesson to be learned here , and thomas has to learn it . bill : your son stuck a knife through the heart of my family . you do n't think i should object to that , ridge ? ridge : not while he 's in a hospital bed , no . bill : i grieved the loss of my granddaughter . my entire family grieved her loss . ridge : and you should be angry , at buckingham , at flo , but not my son . bill : buckingham and flo have been arrested . they 're paying a price , and he 's gon na have to do the same . ridge : that 's completely different . he kept a secret , that 's all he did . bill : that 's the only thing he cared about , was keeping the secret . are you kidding me ? you see , this is what you do . it 's what you do every time your kid screws up . you give him a blankie and a ba - ba and you coddle him . thomas : look , i can explain . ridge : let me handle it . bill : yeah , let daddy handle it . you just sit there and suck your thumb . but , you know what ... you ca n't protect him this time . i 've been talking to justin . seems there might be a connection between thomas and emma 's death . now , if that proves to be true ... well , he 's gon na have a lot bigger problems on his hand than just keeping a secret . ridge : that is a very serious accusation , bill . bill : one i do n't take lightly . now , come on , forrester , you know me . i do n't bluff , and i do n't blink . ridge : yeah . you can go now . bill : and your mea culpa is n't gon na do jack -- ridge : i said get out ! that 's enough ! bill : i 'm gon na make sure that you rot ! what the hell is going on in here ? mr. forrester , i can hear you out in the hall . ridge : he should n't be here . your son suffered a serious head injury ! he needs rest and quiet . bill : yeah , you know what , doc , you 're absolutely right . you know , ridge ... ridge got out of control , started yelling . this poor kid here , he has a -- he has a headache . listen to the doc , get your rest . and i 'm gon na give you another piece of advice . well , really , it 's more a dose of reality . daddy ca n't save you from this one . daddy ca n't save you from this or from me . justice will be done . i 'm gon na see to it . you 're not doing your son any favors protecting him , ridge . he 's got to learn a lesson . he 's got to pay for what he 's done . to liam , to hope , to steffy ... ridge : i - i know . bill , i 'm worried about him . and not just because of this fall , but because of the decisions he 's made . bill : well , i 'm glad that we agree . he 's got to pay for the crime . ridge : what is the crime ? he kept a secret . it 's awful , but he -- he 's trying to make amends . bill : oh , come on , ridge , you believe him ? you know , i do n't know what 's worse , thomas and his heinous manipulations , or you having raised this poor excuse of a man . ridge : there it is . my son almost died . bill : because of his own actions , the same actions that are gon na land him in jail . now , keeping a secret was one thing . being responsible for a death is something else . and if the police find the evidence linking thomas to emma 's death , he 's going away and there 's not a damn thing you can do to stop it .	brooke tells bill that she does not think ridge will ever forgive her for re- acting so fast . bill says typical of the dressmaker so no big loss . so either ridge does not know her at all or perhaps he does not know thomas . flo sits and tells ridge she wanted to tell the truth so many times . she hated herself every single day . in the end it was his own son that kept her from telling . she knows he is ridge 's son and he will be on his side but thomas was the one who did not want her to tell the truth or he would lose hope . then she happens to mention emma and he wants to know what she had to do with it . flo says many people think thomas had something to do with her death . ridge is shaken . he says everyone connected to this will be prosecuted . she says that is as it should be . she is not asking for pity . he says she stole a baby twice , once from hope and once from steffy . she says maybe he does not know that side of his son but if he did he would know why she had to keep quiet . thomas would stop at nothing to get hope and that included manipulating his own son . so what does ridge think he would do if someone else came along and was in the way . she says she thinks thomas has some very serious issues and is guilty of a very serious crime . the doctor tells thomas that he will have headaches for a while and need rest for the broken ribs but he will mend and be okay . brooke says thomas is using his heartstrings to get back with hope . and ridge is buying it . bill tells brooke that thomas is a sociopath and there is something seriously wrong with him . and if ridge can not see that then something is seriously wrong with him too . flo tells ridge more and that thomas knew all along about beth but did not want hope to know so she would marry him . he used his son to help with that too . with emma out of the way then he started in on flo threatening her of that same end . she tells ridge she is done and she calls the guard to take her away . last thing she does is pick up the logan gal picture . bill goes to see thomas and asks how his boo - boo is . and good , he recognizes him and has his full attention . and he wants him to know he does not like the things he has done to his family . but he has been working on himself . everyone tells him to watch his temper and they are right . normally he would have walked in there and choked him as he deserved and he still could . his eyes glisten as he says he is not going to do that and he is so proud of himself . on the other hand he will be damned if he will let this go which is what he thinks thomas would want ... just smooth it over and sweep it under the rug and apologize for his mistake .that is what he wants to call it a mistake and move on . just blink once for yes and twice for no . better yet just keep lying there looking stupid . this mistake is going to have consequences and he ca n't wait to teach him how . katie tells brooke that thomas has been a source of tension for a while and she needs to deal with that . brooke says and it has gotten worse since thomas 's accident . they have never been this far apart . brooke says she wishes for ridge that she could believe thomas was remorseful and a new man , but she can not believe that . and this is ridge , the man she loves , the man she married and should be able to rely on yet he believes thomas and wants her to even go thank him for keeping her out of jail . thomas had a dark side to him that no one knew how bad it was and even for ridge she can not forgive that . she can not pretend that is okay . she is not going to do that anymore . thomas has to learn a lesson here . thomas asks bill is he threatening him . bill says if he were he would not have to even ask . this is how things get misinterpreted . if hope had nothing to fear from him then he has nothing to fear from bill .
ridge : answer me , logan . will you forgive me ? i promise i will never , ever leave you again . we can be happy , i know you can . you know that , too . tell me you 'll come back to me . [ scene_break ] nick : who 's kissing who ? donna : they 're not kissing anymore . i think ridge started it , but brooke did n't resist . nick : is he touching her ? or holding her ? bridget : nick , do n't do this to yourself . nick : tell me ! donna : the only way i can describe it is -- they look hungry , like they want to shallow each other up . i ca n't do this . i 'll talk to you later . [ scene_break ] thorne : i just wanted to check on you . i thought there might be a problem with your phone . taylor : yeah , your mother told me that you tried to call . thorne : you talked to my mother ? taylor : yes , she came over here , but i think she was using that phone thing as an excuse to talk about other things . thorne : what other things ? taylor : you do n't know ? thorne : you and me ? taylor : well , i guess you mentioned that little kiss that happened , and being the proactive parent she is , she was all over it . [ scene_break ] hector : you 're hanging `` keep out `` signs around taylor like she was your personal property . stephanie : no , just one . and it reads , `` keep out , h. ramirez . `` hector : i need her . i 'm not sure i can deal with this without her . stephanie : of course , you can . hector : how do you know ? you have no idea what it 's like . stephanie : no , i do n't have any idea . you 're absolutely right . and i feel awful that this terrible thing has happened to you . hector : but your son needs some lovin ' . and damn it , you 're going to get it for him . stephanie : i do n't want any obstacles . i want love , if it 's going to , just to simply take it 's own natural course . hector : obstacles . obstacles like me ? stephanie : hector , you should never have moved into the house . it 's wrong , and it was n't honest , hector . because you want more than just friendship . save to say , you and taylor are not going to happen . so , stop being so self - serving and selfish , and move out of the house . [ scene_break ] thorne : are you upset that i told my mother about us ? taylor : no , no , thorne . not at all . thorne : she 's not pressuring you , is she ? taylor : no , i 'm a big girl . i make my own decisions . thorne : you know , she does have a point , though . taylor : you think ? thorne : i thought i 'd never smile again . you 've changed that . taylor : i 'm glad . thorne : thank you , taylor . you may have saved my life . taylor : well , you 're welcome . thorne : am i frightening you ? taylor : no . no , you 're not frightening me . [ scene_break ] stephanie : oh , darn . bad timing , i 'm sorry . thorne : mother , i did n't know you were here . stephanie : yes , i was actually upstairs chatting with hector . thorne : hector 's here ? stephanie : not for long , i hope . [ scene_break ] brooke : i ca n't come back to you , ridge . it 's too late . the damage has already been done . ridge : damage ? look at us , brooke . we 're still young . we still have our passion , our creativity . we survived the hardships , brooke , the mistakes , the wrong decisions , and now we have the chance to make the right decision . we have a lot of great years ahead of us , brooke . why would we want to spend them apart ? brooke : because i do n't trust you . ridge : no , you do n't trust your father . i can still see that little 12-year- old girl inside of you that was abandoned so many years ago . she was hardwired not to trust anymore , and i completely understand . but you 're not that child anymore , brooke . you 've experienced life . you understand that no great thing comes without risk . brooke : maybe not . but what i found in nick -- ridge : what you found in nick was compromise . is that what you want to say on your deathbed ? `` i made a good compromise `` ? or would you rather say , `` i went for it . i went with my passion . `` brooke : what i have found in nick is not nothing , ridge . he loves me . he interests me . he makes me laugh . he makes me feel safe . and maybe that 's what i need in my life right now -- a little safety . which is something you could never provide . and that 's what nick gives to me , and he always will . [ scene_break ] bridget : wait , nick -- look , you really do n't need that . nick : let go . nick : my wife 's in love with another man . she loves him more than me . bridget : i 'm so sorry . nick : and you knew . bridget : nick , i -- i thought it would be so different for you . it 's just what my mom does . she runs back to ridge . it 's a sickness . i let you go , and part of me knew that this might happen . but you had to learn it yourself . nick : well , lesson learned . what do i do now ? ... [ scene_break ] brooke : i will always love you . ridge : i do n't want a memory , brooke . i want us . brooke : i 'm sorry , ridge . i just ca n't come back to you . ridge : then , you know , i -- i 'll have to move on . brooke : with donna ? ridge : she 's an amazing woman . brooke : just do n't hurt her . ridge : i do n't intend to . brooke : it hurts me to see you two together . ridge : it does n't have to happen . brooke : ridge , do n't , please . no one gets to me the way you do . you know that . i am going to stick to my vows that i made with nick . no matter what i 've put him through , he 's always been there for me . and he will be forever . [ scene_break ] nick : oh -- oh , i got a lot of good hate going on right now . bridget : that 's just poison for your soul , nick . nick : well , then my soul has either been poisoned or cleansed !

[ scene_break ] thorne : you know , i can understand why you would want to reach out and help hector , because that 's who you are . i mean , look at what you 've done for me and for alexandria . but to move him into your home , i ca n't help but wonder if that 's a good idea , taylor . stephanie : amen . thorne : mother ? stephanie : okay , you handle it . but i agree with you . thorne : i mean , let 's face it , this guy has a major crush on you . taylor : well , that may be true , but the more important fact is that he just lost his eyesight . okay ? he 's got a lot of adjustments to make , and he needs somebody he feels close to to help him get through that . stephanie : taylor , i am perfectly prepared , financially , to help hector . help him find a place that he can have of his own , where you can visit him . help with the dog training -- i mean , is n't independence supposed to be his main goal ? taylor : yes , and i agree with you , he needs all of those things . but right now , he 's in a very fragile place . stephanie : and you 're not ? you 're a recovering alcoholic , you need to take care of yourself . thorne : and there 's other people who need you . taylor : well , i 'm not going to stop being there for you and alexandria , if that 's what you 're worried about . thorne : you 're spreading yourself pretty thin . taylor : well , what 's new ? stephanie : we 're just trying to help . taylor : i know you are , but you 're not . stephanie : taylor -- thorne : you know , mom , she 's right . we 've had our say , okay ? it 's time for us to pitch in . i will help you with hector , okay ? anything that i can do to help lighten the burden , i 'll be there for you , okay ? taylor : thank you . thank you very much , thorne . i do appreciate that . it 's only temporary . it 's just a very temporary arrangement . just until hector , you know -- [ crashing sounds ] oh -- oh , my goodness . okay , let me go check on him . thorne : you want me to go with you ? taylor : no , no , it 's okay . thanks -- thanks for offering . [ scene_break ] taylor : hector ! what happened ? hector : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . taylor : why do you keep walking around the house ? hector : i thought i was going towards the dresser , and then i get all turned around . and suddenly i realized that i was out in the hallway , and i did n't know which way i was turned . i did n't know where the stairs were , and then i just froze up , i panicked . taylor : it 's okay , it 's okay . it could have happened to anybody . it 's all right . hector : i felt like i was falling , like everything was spinning . i did n't know which way was up , or which way was down -- taylor : hector , listen to me , you 're going to get used to it , okay ? your brain will learn how to compensate for a lack of visual cues . hector , you 'll get used to your blindness , alright ? and i 'm going to help you through it . hector : okay . thank you . taylor : it 's okay . [ scene_break ] donna : you know what 's really sad ? ridge : i thought you said you were finished . donna : you 're empty inside , because you 're not honest . you 're not real . you just say whatever it is you need to say to get what you want , and you do n't care who you walk on . ridge : alright , i think it 's time , donna , that you hush up and listen . donna : oh what ? did i wound you ? ridge : no . donna : no , of course not , you have to be bullet - proof to be ridge forrester . ridge : donna -- donna : go ahead , talk . but i 'm not listening . ridge : okay . brooke is not leaving nick . we got into it , and she chose him over me . donna : why should i believe you ? ridge : call up your sister at home and ask her . she does n't trust me not to leave her . bottom line of all this is i guess she just does n't want an exciting life . nick is safe , nick is secure , and she wants him . ' til death do them part . and you , donna , are what i want . donna : but they 're always be brooke . ridge : i admit , it may be difficult for me to let go of that . but i will . i 'm just trying to be honest here . i admit , brooke and i have one hell of a history . but as she 's pointed out to me , that 's all it is , a history . never to be repeated again . donna : never ? oh , i could so easily -- ridge : easily what ? donna : i 'm gon na go home now . tomorrow 's a new day , and we 'll take it from there . ridge : alright then . i personally am looking very forward to this , because , miss donna logan , you are what i need . donna : brooke 's lipstick . i 'll see you tomorrow . i have to say , thank goodness for nick marone , i hope he makes my sister very happy for a very long time .

donna : please do n't be insulted that i asked brooke and stephanie first . katie : well , brooke i can understand -- i mean , she 's a pro at getting married . but stephanie ? stephanie : what is going on here ? donna : thank you for everything . everything 's lovely . stephanie , the florist must 've lost your order . but it 's a good thing i could find some help at the last minute . stephanie : you know why they did n't have the order ? i did n't call it in . so tell these people to pack everything up and leave . donna : they 'll leave when they 're finished . you know , these turned out lovely , did n't they ? stephanie : thorne is not going to marry you , donna . donna : blah , blah , blah . face it , stephanie . you were n't able to keep brooke 's children from her , and you 're not gon na stop this wedding . eric : wow , look at this . donna , everything seems to be coming along beautifully . donna : thank you , eric . stephanie : where 's thorne ? eric : he 's in the guesthouse . no -- leave him alone . he 's very excited about this . stephanie : i want to talk to you in the den right now . donna : go ahead . do n't worry about me , mom . i 've got ...

( sighs ) i kissed her to take advantage of a moment . caroline : you lost me . thomas : look , forrester has put a lot of time , energy , and money into hope for the future . it 's crucial to the company that the line stays viable . the line 's taken a lot of hits all just because of hope 's personal life . canceling the bridal line , i - it could have been disastrous , unless we found a way to take the focus off . i saw a chance to create buzz ...

[ chuckles ] wow . well , that 's over now . back to being myself again . rick : well , you better get used to the attention . the re - branding 's working . hope : all thanks to you and caroline . rick : [ inhales sharply ] hope : what ? rick : [ clears throat ] well , caroline and i -- we 're ... kind of on again . hope : wait . what -- wait , what happened to maya ? rick : that 's complicated . she left me , and she left the line . hope : what ? ! rick : yeah , i 'm having feelings for both of them . maya thinks i 'm better off with caroline , and maybe i am , but ... i mean , i just feel like we never got a chance . what if it could have been more ? we had this -- this great connection , and ... i blew it . bill : [ sighs ] brooke : wyatt knows not to stand up to you now . that was your point ? bill : it 's a lesson he had to learn . brooke : but you stand up to people all the time . when you see something you do n't like , you take action . and that is a very attractive quality . bill : there 's a difference . my father was an s.o.b . and yet , i still treated him with a certain amount of respect . brooke : but you hated your father . bill : right . brooke : maybe it 's the opposite with wyatt . maybe he lashed out at you because he really likes you . he was disappointed . he finally got to meet you and started to get to know you , and then he saw what was happening to will . and that hit a nerve . bill : he 's arrogant and insubordinate . brooke : i see strength and integrity . and i see the talent of a leader -- the same qualities that you have . wyatt was just sticking up for his little brother . if he got in anybody else 's face to defend will , you would be so proud of him . and you 'd be right there , cheering him on . rick : maybe it 's like you and liam . you never gave up through everything with steffy . hope : yeah , m - maybe caroline 's the same . rick : is everything okay with liam ? hope : yeah . rick : wedding 's coming along ? hope : yep . everything 's on track . we just , you know , have to wait . rick : i know it can be , uh , frustrating . you 're finally getting back together with liam , and now you got that half - brother living with you guys . hope : uh , wyatt . actually , no . he moved out . again . it has n't exactly been a smooth transition into the spencer family . [ knock on door ] pam : excuse me , but thomas says you 're expecting him . rick : uh , yes . yes , we 're , uh , going over the new accessories for hope for the future . pam : well , you could have kept me in the loop . i mean , i am in charge of your schedule . come in ! come in . hope : hi . pam : from now on , i 'm just gon na let donna handle this , because i - i ca n't anymore . rick : thanks , pam . hope : thank you . [ squeals ] jewelry ! fun ! thomas : all right , ladies . let 's show the president what we 've got to spice up the designs . quinn : from what i remember , bill does n't like to be told he 's wrong . wyatt : he 's beyond wrong . leaving that little boy -- that 's not how to be a father . and i 'm not stupid . i - i know i may have overreacted , and i know the reasons why . but it think he 's making a big mistake . he should do everything that he can to make that marriage work . and i do n't regret telling him . i 'm not the kind of person who hides his feelings . quinn : no , you never have been . wyatt : you know , if he chooses to not respect me for being honest , fine . the more i get to know him , the less that it even matters to me , so ... quinn : i 'm just glad it did n't take you that long to figure him out . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : i know you were looking forward to that life -- having a father , being a spencer , but -- wyatt : yeah , when i thought he was a great guy . but he 's not . he 's womanizer , immoral . i - i admire his business sense and he 's made a lot of money and he definitely knows how to run a company , but ... that does n't matter . i mean , what good is all that if you 're a jerk ? he 's leaving his wife for her sister . and that poor little boy has to grow up with that . i do n't fit in there . and i do n't want to now that i know him . quinn : still , i know how much you wanted a father . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : honey , i ca n't imagine how hard this is for you -- thinking you finally had one and then losing him all over again . wyatt : gained a father , lost a father , [ chuckles ] two brothers , and i hurt you , but what 's worse -- the idea of losing hope , too . brooke : wyatt 's a lot like you . he 's driven , the same determination . bill : i ca n't have a kid erupting into a rage every time i do something he does n't like . he should talk to liam . i - i upset him all the time . he does n't lose his mind over it . brooke : [ chuckles ] that 's because liam knows you now . remember in the beginning ? it was n't like there was an instant bonding . bill : you 're good for me . you always seem to put things in their perspective . but could you do me a favor ? can you tell hope not to dig up any more long- lost sons ? brooke : [ laughs ] oh , god . bill : could you do that for me ? 'cause i - i really hate this `` getting to know each other `` stage . brooke : mm - hmm . okay . quinn : hey . you do n't have to let what happened with bill affect your relationship with hope ... wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : ... if she really means that much to you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i thought you did n't like her . quinn : okay , i 'll admit . i was threatened by her at first . knowing who she was , her relationship to bill , all the questions she was asking me -- i mean , i did n't like how nosy she was being . but i ca n't ignore how you look when you talk about her . i am seeing a real transformation in you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : i mean , you used to take life so seriously . you were all about business . but ever since you met hope , you 're enjoying yourself . you 're smiling again . wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : and i 'm pretty sure she 's the reason . wyatt : uh ... hope : wow . these accessories are amazing . rick : mm - hmm . hope : you could create a whole new look with these . thomas : that was the idea , was n't it ? hope : uh , yeah , and what you 've pulled together here is -- rick : melds perfectly with our re - branding -- multi - cultural design influences . marcus : yeah , but -- but big , not too bulky , still feminine , strong , but still making a statement . pam : [ chuckles ] next thing you know , he 's gon na be writing wine labels . [ laughter ] hope : um , do you think that we could put a different necklace on her ? i really -- i love this one , but i think i want something more delicate . thomas : oh , yeah . no , no . that 's fine . we brought a lot of choices . marcus : you see , right here , you have your earrings , your bracelets , your bangles , uh , all from the u.s. and all over the world . rick : great . let 's try a few . hope : these are beautiful . oh , my gosh . it 's gon na be really hard to choose . hope : [ sighs ] thomas : so , you want to go for a signature line , right ? hope : yeah , exactly . you know , one designer that will best fit our new hftf product identification . [ gasps ] oh , my god . this is beautiful . this is it . [ sighs ] rick : yes , it 's , uh -- it 's raw with a primitive edge . but , uh , still has a sophisticated elegance . thomas : i think this is from a local designer . hope : really ? wow . i - i mean , i could see this with any of our new designs . rick : it 's a very interesting look . pam : those are really classy . but without being stuffy . i 'd wear any one of those . with my pearls , of course . hope : [ chuckles ] of course . wow . and you said the designer 's local ? thomas : uh ... marcus : actually , uh , yeah . from a quinn artisan jewelers . hope : really ? marcus : mm - hmm . i mean , they 're small , but they definitely do good work . hope : wow . um ... okay . rick , um ... i have to go . thomas , amazing . you did a great job . ladies , you 're beautiful . thank you . marcus : and marcus . [ chuckles ] thomas : thanks . rick : uh , you know what ? why do n't we start narrowing it down ? [ muffled ] we could do , like , a ... hope : [ chuckles ] brooke : so , are you calling him ? bill : who ? brooke : wyatt . bill : why ? brooke : [ chuckles ] you just told me i gave you a different perspective . bill : i told you that i told him that i want him out of my life and i meant it . brooke : oh . bill : however , after listening to you , uh ... i 'm open to reconsidering . eventually . brooke : that 's a good start . bill : mm - hmm . you 're good for me . i meant that , too . brooke : mm . you know who else is good for you ? hope . 'cause she keeps bringing sons back into your life . bill : uh , yeah . and making them fall for her . brooke : [ laughs ] bill : poor wyatt -- kicked out of the house . he 'll never see her again . brooke : no , no . i think they 'll see each other . i mean , they 're good friends . bill : uh , liam and wyatt -- they 're not exactly bonding . i think hope 's gon na keep her distance . brooke : okay . if you say so . bill : i say so . number - one reason you 're good for me ... you always make things easy . even when we disagree , somehow it feels -- it feels , uh , peaceful , i guess . brooke : hmm . yeah . i do make things easy . [ giggles ] [ horse whinnies ] bill : what ? brooke : [ laughs ] bill : what is that ? brooke : see ? i make it easy for you to figure out that i 'm calling so you can drop everything and answer the phone . [ horse whinnies ] bill : you are ... insane . brooke : [ laughing ] no , i 'm not . bill : in the best way possible . quinn : oh , look . there 's that smile . wyatt : wh -- i was n't smiling before i met hope , huh ? i have class photos to prove otherwise . quinn : i 'm just saying she has an obvious effect on you . wyatt : all right . maybe a little . or a lot . quinn : mm - hmm . wyatt : okay , i fell for her , hard . geez . quinn : okay , she 's a beautiful girl . wyatt : she 's unlike any other woman i 've met . she 's beautiful and thoughtful and fun . [ laughs ] and engaged to liam . that 's what 's so difficult about this for me . i met my father , and then he turns his back on me , and my half - brother does n't want anything to do with me , either . maybe that 's it for us . does n't bother me . i can live the rest of my life not talking to either one of them . but hope ? if she marries liam , what , does that mean i lose all contact with her ? that she 's just -- just gone now ? i mean , this beautiful -- this wonderful woman comes into my life and changes it -- changes me -- and -- and i 'm afraid i 'm never gon na see her again . hope : wyatt ? wyatt , are you home ? wyatt : hope . [ chuckles ] what are you ... ? hope : um , i 'm here to place an order . wyatt : an -- an order ? hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : [ chuckles ] hope : for forrester creations . i want quinn artisan jewelers to be the exclusive designers for my line . is that something you 'd be interested in , mr. fuller ? wyatt : [ laughs ] why , yes , miss logan . i - i 'd be happy to accommodate you . [ chuckles ]	hope sits at her desk going over some designs and figures but she can not concentrate . she can only think back on what wyatt told her that there was something going on between them . ditch liam and do something crazy and come with him . rick interrupts and asks if everything is all right . she says yeah . the figures are great for her new line and she could get used to all this attention . rick tells her she better be prepared , the re - branding is really working . then he must give her the bad news that maya left him and the line as well . maya thinks he will be better off with caroline . they had a great connection but he blew it . quinn catches wyatt doing the same thing - thinking of hope . she says she is back from the store and has the frij re - stocked and they can have supper together tonight if he 'd like . she is just glad that he is home , but she wishes it were under different circumstances . he agrees , but says she did warn him . she gives him a hug and says she tried for years to protect him from bill and now to only have him rejected like this . he admits he had kind of got caught up in the whole spencer name and business and he had envisioned this whole new life for himself with a father and two brothers . he even thought he 'd be some media bigwig along with bill .the spencer men . he takes a big sigh , but that 's over now . he can be himself again . quinn says from what she remembers , bill does not like to be told he is wrong . wyatt says he is not stupid but admits he may have over - reacted but he knows why . and what bill is doing leaving another little kid is so wrong . he should be doing everything he can to save that marriage . and wyatt does n't regret telling him . he 's not the kind of person that hides his feelings . he says if bill can not respect him for telling the truth , then fine . the more he gets to know him the more it does n't matter what he thinks . quinn says she knows that wyatt was looking forward to that life but she 's glad it did n't take him that long to figure bill out . wyatt says he does admire his business sense , but bill is immoral , a womanizer . he 's made a lot of money but what good is that if you are a jerk . he 's leaving his wife for her sister . and that poor little boy has to grow up with that . he does n't fit in there and he does n't even want to now that he really knows him .
brooke : are we really doing this ? bill : you said yes . i think it means we are . brooke : how could i possibly say no ? my own spencer sword . bill : [ chuckles ] it suits you . brooke : so do you . [ pencil clatters ] eric : ridge . have you seen quinn ? ridge : no , thank goodness . eric : a simple `` no `` would be sufficient . or is that too hard for you ? ridge : dad , i 'm concerned about you . the whole family 's concerned about you . eric : what , because i 'm some doddering old fool who could n't possibly be aware of the fact that the woman he 's seeing is -- ridge : no one is saying that . eric : well , it 's the way you 're treating me these days . i 'm not naive . my head 's not in the sand where quinn is concerned . i know who she was . i know what she did . i do n't condone any of that . but she 's asked for forgiveness , and i choose to give it to her because ... ridge : [ scoffs ] eric : because she 's changed , ridge . the woman she was , the manipulator , the woman who uses other people , that 's not who she is anymore . ivy : well ... i do n't look like myself . quinn : that 's the point . ivy : i look just like steffy . is that what you intended ? what are you up to , quinn ? what is -- what is this all about ? quinn : told you what this is about . it 's like a simple little makeover . ivy : what , to look like steffy ? quinn : to better represent the company . you want to join me on the jewelry line , do n't you ? ivy : yeah , i - i do , but -- quinn : then you have to just -- you have to ... trust my instincts . you know , your uncle does . and if i told him that i want you on the line -- ivy : please , quinn , i 'll -- look , i will do anything . i am so grateful for your help . quinn : all i ask in return is your loyalty . ivy : done . quinn : then this is gon na be great . all i need you to do is just embrace the look , lose the accent . you are gon na love the reaction you 're gon na get . ivy : what if i `` cah n't `` lose the -- quinn : ca n't . `` ca n't . `` ivy : ca n't . quinn : ca n't . yeah . you will . ivy : okay . i can -- yeah . okay . quinn : `` o - kay . `` ivy : o - kay . quinn : okay . see ? ivy : okay . quinn : i am gon na love working with you . brooke : seems like it took a long time for us to get here . bill : because it did . brooke : and i 'm glad . i 'm glad it did . i 'm glad that we waited . i 'm glad that we did whatever we could ... to stay apart . until we realized we just ... ca n't . bill : it 's impossible . brooke : impossible . ivy : [ american accent ] is eric forrester available ? pam : um , do you have an appointment ? ivy : [ normal voice ] g'day , pam .

brooke : [ chuckles ] you show me every single day . bill : well , if i ever do n't , slap me . do n't slap me as hard as last time . that was a pretty good slap . that hurt a little bit . brooke : okay . yeah . bill : okay ? [ chuckles ] i mean it , brooke . i 'd deserve it . because you deserve nothing less . i 've never met any woman like you . and i never will again . i love you . you 're mine . i ca n't wait to call you my wife . brooke : [ giggles ]	brooke looks at her ring and tells bill how could she possibly say no . she is glad they waited and tried to stay apart but now are together with katie 's blessings . ridge tells his dad again that they are all still worried about him . eric says he is not a doddering old fool and his head is not in the sand . quinn has asked him to believe her that she has changed and he is giving her that chance . ivy tells quinn that with the hair extensions and new makeover she looks just like steffy . quinn tells her just trust her instincts , this will be good for the line . she needs her loyalty if she will just accept the change and lose the accent . she will love working with her . eric is very surprised when pam brings ivy in . she says she would like to see a lot more of him . and no pressure but quinn said she could come back and work on the jewelry line if eric approved . ridge walks into quinn 's office and then starts to walk back out . she says she hopes he is not leaving because of her . he says no , she is the one leaving and a lot sooner than she thought . she replies that she is going nowhere . his dad is the one in charge and they just all need to get along . he tells her again just pack up and leave and in the future do not try to go against him . he tells her she will never be part of his family and do not mention his mother again . and do not get too comfortable as she is not going to be here that long . bill tells brooke that he does n't want to wait too long for the ceremony .just whatever she wants as long as it is soon . he wants the world to know how he feels about her . he has a good place to start for them to celebrate . they go upstairs .
thomas : so , how am i doing , doc ? nurse : what he 's really asking is , `` when can i get out of here ? `` dr. armstrong : anxious to leave us now , are you ? thomas : well , nobody likes being locked up a hospital for days on end . dr. armstrong : point taken . thomas : so , i 'm good to go ? ridge : is my son being released today ? dr. armstrong : all right , let 's not get ahead of ourselves here , all right ? yes , thomas has made excellent progress , but there are risks associated with being released too soon , which is why we 're monitoring you , running and re- running tests . let us all keep in mind that you 're lucky to be alive at all . thomas : so , um , if i promise to take it easy , then will you give me the `` all clear `` ? dr. armstrong : hmm , is he always this persistent ? thomas : i 'll answer that . yes , i am this persistent , but i 'm also a little impatient . i - i really wan na get back to my life . [ scene_break ] katie : uh , is ridge at the hospital ? brooke : i do n't know . i went for a run , and he was gone by the time i got home . donna : how are things ? brooke : with thomas , you mean ? thomas , you and ridge . katie : is ridge still defending thomas ? brooke : he is ridge 's son . donna : meaning , he is , even after everything that thomas has done ? brooke : i think he 's still waiting for me to apologize to thomas . katie : what ? donna : apologize ? [ scoffs ] he does n't think that you intentionally pushed him off the cliff , does he ? ridge does realize that . he -- he 's not still blaming you ? brooke : he thinks that i overreacted because i hate his son . katie : wait . hold on a second . ridge thinks that you ... brooke : hate his son , yes . katie : well , how is thomas doing physically ? brooke : he 's healing . donna : the question is , what 's gon na happen when he 's released from the hospital ? katie : i mean , surely he does n't think he 's just going to go back to his wife as if nothing happened . [ scene_break ] donna : thomas ca n't possibly believe that he 's gon na escape the consequences for what he 's done . katie : well , why would he believe anything else ? and he 's always gotten away with it . blowing up rick 's car , pushing him out the window . he 's never had to pay for anything . why should this time be any different ? donna : no . no , he has to be held accountable . liam : he will be . trust me . [ chuckles ] thomas is not gon na slither his way out of this , and the reason i know that is because i 'm gon na make sure of it . [ scene_break ] dr. armstrong : all right , looking at my nose , touch your left pointer finger to my right one . thomas : hmm . dr. armstrong : very good . okay , same thing . here 's my nose . touch your right pointer finger to my left one . perfect . okay , both hands . squeeze as hard as you can . squeeze , squeeze , squeeze . good . excellent . thomas : okay . dr. armstrong : all right . thomas : i lift my knee against the palm of your hand ? right ? the other knee ? dr. armstrong : yeah , you got that down . thomas : [ chuckles ] so , how 'd i do , doc ? same as yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and probably the day before that as well . dr. armstrong : i understand you have a little boy at home . thomas : douglas , yes . nurse : i 'm sure he 'll be glad to have his dad back home . thomas : i sure hope so . um , so what should i tell him ? will he see his father by the end of the day or ... dr. armstrong : i already told you , i 'm not gon na release you until you 're ready . thomas : but i am ready . dr. armstrong : oh . so that 's your professional opinion now , is it , dr. forrester ? thomas : i know how i feel , okay ? and -- and i also know that staying here one more day , it 'll probably drive me up a freaking wall . dr. armstrong : well , then we ca n't have that now , can we ? thomas : does that mean ... dr. armstrong : in addition to the steady vitals and the field exams , i 've reviewed your results , and it 's all looking good . thomas : all right . dr. armstrong : i would like it if you could stay for one extra day , but since you do have a son at home , most likely eager to see his father , i 'll sign off on the release papers . but only if you follow my strict recovery instructions . ridge : i 'll make sure he does . dr. armstrong : good . thomas : thank you , doc . i really appreciate it . dr. armstrong : sure . thomas : and you as well . you 've been awesome . dr. armstrong : stay away from cliffs . thomas : yes , sir . no more hospital food . and i 'm anxious to move on and move past all the mistakes i 've made in the last few months . [ door opens ] alex : i just spoke with your doctor . word has it you 're being released today . i assume that means that you 're up to answering some more questions ? thomas : well , i - i already answered all your questions about the accident . alex : i know . i 'm talking about the death of emma barber . [ scene_break ] katie : you 've been working on your back kicks ? okay . master han says your form 's coming along really well . do n't be nervous . you 're gon na do great . daddy 's gon na pick you up at 4 and take you to taekwondo , and i will meet you guys over there , all right ? all right , you 're just gon na leave it all on the mat . all right . i love you . i love you , i love you . [ cellphone beeps ] katie : gosh . belt testing tonight . he 's a little nervous . donna : whoo . brooke : nice . liam : oh , my god . he 's gon na kill it . he 's gon na do great . donna : well , liam , you know you -- you have our support , right ? no matter how you decide to handle this . katie : yeah , you do , and -- and , brooke , you do , too . i mean , i just hate that this is causing tension in your relationship with ridge . it 's .. donna : he really did n't believe you at first . he -- he thought that you pushed thomas over the cliff on purpose . brooke : he was just upset . i mean , his son was in the hospital , fighting for his life . liam : okay , but what , like , is that supposed to excuse what thomas did , keeping the truth from hope and me all that time ? ah , hey , i understand a father wanting to be supportive of his child , but thomas is not a child . he 's a full - grown man , a full - grown man who has been manipulating all of us to get what he wants , which is -- which is hope . i mean , hope is the one thing that 's been driving all of his behavior . hope is the reason that he showed up at steffy 's , 'cause she told him that she was annulling the marriage , and he would n't accept that . in fact , it 's not even clear if he has yet , or if he ever will . katie : so you agree he has not changed . liam : yes ! of course not . what , you fall from a cliff , and then your whole personality changes ? no , it does n't work like that . he 's not a different person . he wants everybody to think he 's a different person , but it 's the same guy , which is why i 'm worried about what 's gon na happen when he 's released , like what 's he gon na pull next ? donna : what ? he -- he ca n't do anything , can he ? i mean , the whole marriage to hope was a fraud . if he fights the annulment , he 'll -- he 'll lose . katie : well , i think what liam is trying to say is that thomas is ... unpredictable and ... calculating . liam : exactly . donna : yeah . liam : that 's exactly what he is . i mean , that 's -- that 's why he cleared brooke of any fault for his fall , right ? 'cause he 's trying to score points . and not just points with hope or with his dad , but , like , us , too . brooke : it did n't work , at least not with me . i watched while he took advantage of hope 's suffering , and if he thinks i 'm gon na just move past that , if ridge expects me to ... donna : brooke ... brooke ... you and ridge love each other so much . you ca n't let this come between you . brooke : i do n't wan na let it come between us , donna . but what happens when thomas comes back from the hospital ? i mean , this has been his home . he and douglas have been living here ever since they came back from new york . and ridge is gon na want him here , close , recuperating . i mean , what happens then ? [ cup clatters ] liam : i mean ... [ sighs ] ridge has to see that that 's a terrible idea , right ? hope and i are living down there in the cabin with beth , and so thomas is gon na come and stay here and just totally respect that ? no , of course he 's not . he 's gon na try to insinuate himself again . katie : yeah , this is -- this is not gon na end well . liam : then what happens ? we 're all supposed to just act like it 's fine , like turn a blind eye , act like him coming back from the hospital is some kind of fresh start ? no . the man systematically targeted my wife , and he used his -- his innocent child as a puppet . now i - i - i can not let that keep happening , and , brooke , i ... i do n't know if you can either . [ scene_break ] alex : when i was here before , it was about thomas 's fall and what happened . i have n't had a chance yet to question him about emma 's accident , if that 's really what it was . ridge : it was . tragic accident . alex : well , how can you be clear ? were you there ? how about you , thomas ? thomas : what about me ? alex : well , as you 're undoubtedly aware , xander avant says that you were there that fateful night when emma 's car went off mulholland . ridge : detective , i know this is still an ongoing investigation , and you wan na follow every lead , but xander and thomas -- there was no love lost between those two , so it would n't surprise me -- alex : if he was pointing a finger at thomas for retaliation for threatening xander . ridge : well , it 's your words , not mine . alex : yeah , but that 's what you think , right ? that 's what you both think . you let xander 's contention that not only was thomas there that night , he was also chasing emma , trying to stop her from telling hope the truth about her baby , a secret that you wanted kept because you wanted hope for yourself . is that what happened ? ridge : okay . i think that 's enough , do n't you ? my son is recovering from a very serious accident . but if you wan na question him now , i 'll just make sure my lawyer 's present . alex : that 's fine . the facts always have a way of coming out , do n't they ? ridge : is that all , detective ? alex : you know , there 's just one more thing . we have flo fulton in custody , as you 're both aware . i 've spoken with her . ridge : and ? alex : thomas ' name did come up . she does n't paint a very pretty picture of you . her testimony could be damaging . look , i understand a father 's need to protect his son . quite frankly , mr. forrester , in the end , i believe that emma barber 's death and the lie and conspiracy about hope and liam spencer 's baby -- it 's gon na catch up with thomas . you guys have a good day . [ scene_break ] liam : [ sighs ] i 'm ... i 'm sorry . i do n't ... mean to put you on the spot , 'cause i know what a difficult position you 're in , being married to thomas ' father . donna : ha . you think ? liam : but i also know how much you love your daughter and how protective you 've been of hope as a mother , and just the idea that you would let this guy get away with what he 's done to your family -- brooke : liam , i -- i 'm not going to just sit back and do nothing . the question is ... katie : how do you do something without undermining your marriage ? brooke : [ sighs ] donna : you and ridge have fought so hard to get where you are now . we 'd hate to see you risk all that . brooke : but i do n't wan na risk it . it 's just this whole thing with thomas . ridge swears he does n't have blinders on where thomas is concerned , and he realizes the harm that thomas has done to so many . but he wo n't hold him accountable . he gets defensive , and i push back , and i do n't want it to be that way . but it 's that way because of thomas . thomas put me in that awful position . i either have to fight to protect my daughter , or i have to fight for my marriage to ridge . [ scene_break ] thomas : can you believe this guy ? he just -- he comes over here , and he 's dredging up all this stuff about emma 's death , thinking he can what , he can -- he can convince me to confess to something i did n't do ? what a joke . ridge : joke ? it 's a joke to you ? you think you can just shrug this off ? these are serious accusations . thomas : you just told detective sanchez that -- ridge : i know what i told him . i talked to flo also , and she can make life very difficult for you , even -- even from jail . thomas : i thought you were on my side . ridge : you 're my son . that does n't give you a pass , not for what you did to hope or what you did to emma . thomas : i ca n't believe this . wait , you -- that you could actually think i would kill -- ridge : does n't matter what i think . you got ta think . this -- this could be potentially very , very dangerous for you . you could lose your freedom . i do n't want that for you . thomas : i do n't want it either . i hate that all this happened , okay ? that i -- that i got caught up in something , and i kept lying and ... i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to all the people that i hurt , but i 'm sorry to you for letting you down . i 'm scared , dad . look , i ca n't go to prison . i got a whole life ahead of me , but more importantly , douglas -- that little boy needs a father , just like i need you . you 're the only one who 's here for me . you 're it . help me , dad . please ? help me . [ scene_break ] liam : yeah . yeah , no , it should be any second now . well , you -- you can . i just do n't know if they like vegan . [ laughs ] then you should give 'em one anyway and just -- and do , like , a little taste test , see if they like it . all right . you good ? okay . see you soon . [ cellphone beeps ] liam : that was hope . i 'm just letting her know that katie and donna are on their way down . brooke : oh , good . liam : yeah . brooke : she and beth are gon na be excited to see them . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah . yeah , it 'll be good . what about you , though ? not -- i mean , i - i know that ... [ laughs ] i know that you 're -- you 're happy for hope and beth and me , just ... with thomas still in the picture ... listen , i do n't want -- i do n't want anything bad to happen between you and ridge as a couple , but enough is enough , right ? and -- and thomas keeps committing crime after crime . let 's be honest . that -- that is what they are . he 's committing crimes , like what he did with emma , running her off the road . brooke : okay , wait . the police are still investigating . no charges have been made . liam : yes , but until charges have been made , he 's a free man , brooke , and that 's got ta scare you as much as it scares me , 'cause i - i do n't want him anywhere near hope and beth , right ? so if he moves in here , then -- then what ? like , we got ta move out . brooke : oh . [ sighs ] liam : and -- which is crazy , because i am trying to give them time as mother and daughter to bond , so that 's like the last thing i want right now . but i 'm still convinced that thomas is just as devious as ever . and ridge does n't see it , but you see it , and i see it , so ... [ sighs ] i do n't know . can we just -- can we -- can we work together to make sure that thomas does n't do any more damage to our family ? [ scene_break ] thomas : look , i know you -- you defended me , like with detective sanchez just now . and i 'm not worthy . i do n't deserve it . look , i 've done horrible things , things that i am ashamed of . but you 're still here . you 're here for me , and ... that means a lot , 'cause i need you . dad , i need you now more than ever . ridge : can i ask you a question ? but you need to be honest with me . sanchez was talking about the night that emma died , and we all know that xander thinks that you 're responsible . look at me and tell me the truth about that night . did you do it ? did you chase emma ? emma : i 'm telling hope . ridge : did you follow her all the way up to mulholland ? [ horn honks ] ridge : did you run her off the road ? thomas : come on , emma . pull over ! [ engine revving ] [ tires screech , crash ] ridge : are you responsible for the young woman 's death ? [ crickets chirping , dog barking in distance ] ridge : tell me the truth .	thomas sits up in his hospital bed and asks the doc if he is better and good enough to go home . he says he is impatient and wants to get back to his life . he has a young son at home wanting to see him . dr. armstrong says he would normally like to keep him another day or two but considering his son he will check out a few vital signs and then probably will release him . before ridge leaves , detective sanchez comes in and says he hears thomas might be released soon so he assumes he is up to answering a few more questions . brooke meets with donna and katie and they want to know anything new with thomas or ridge . she says she thinks ridge is still waiting for her to go and apologize to thomas . katie says surely when thomas is released he does not expect to go home as if nothing ever happened . donna says he can not escape the consequences of what he has done . liam walks in and says thomas will not escape . he is going to make sure of it . he says thomas is a full grown man , not a child , and he has used all this time to keep him and hope apart and from beth . he is not a different person , he is the same guy . and he worries what he might do when he is released . yes he cleared brooke of pushing him but he did that to gain brownie points . he does not want to turn a blind eye to what might happen now . he reminds brooke that thomas will expect to come back and stay in the only home he has known since returning to l.a. and that will be only a few feet from the cabin with he and hope . and thomas will spend time insinuating himself in hope 's life again . brooke has spent so much time trying to protect hope so do not sit by and let thomas get his way . brooke says she has no intention of doing that , but it seems like she may be fighting thomas but also ridge and for her marriage .
katie : are you gon na answer me ? donna : you ran into stephanie . that 's where this is coming from . katie : no , it 's coming from you . i just heard what you said -- that you ca n't wait to make stephanie miserable . and what i want to know , is that the real reason why you 're marrying thorne ? [ scene_break ] thorne : um , i 'd like to get this started as soon as possible . minister : that 's what i like , a groom excited to meet his fate at the altar . bridget : hey . rick : hey , how you doin ' ? um , what 's goin ' on with aly ? bridget : oh , she 's better . her fever came down , but ... rick : oh , good . bridget : she 's upstairs asleep . thorne : ( indistinct ) eric : oh , i think so , too . rick : thorne . thorne : hey , rick . thanks for comin ' . rick : hey , i just wanted to wish you and donna the best of luck , man . felicia : that 's good . they 're gon na need it . eric : stephanie 's fit to be tied . thorne : if you guys do n't mind , i 'm gon na head into the den and collect my thoughts . eric : good . we 'll handle things out here . felicia : maybe i should go find mother , lock her in her closet till the ceremony 's over . eric : maybe that 's not such a bad idea . now you know , i mean it . if she ca n't be supportive about all this , maybe she should just sit it out . the rest of the family will come together for thorne . [ scene_break ] jackie : are you leaving ? good . donna and thorne will be so relieved . stephanie : oh , i see that my son 's taste in wedding guests is as bad as his choice of a bride . jackie : do you really think this is a pleasure for me , being here ? stephanie : oh , oh ... yes of course . still trying to justify stealing the company . i have a news flash . when our next collection comes out , there 'll only be one forrester brand standing , and it will be ours . logan girls . donna : what you heard . what -- what i said to jackie , i was joking . katie : no , donna , you were n't . donna : thorne does n't have any doubts about me . you 're judging me ... just like stephanie . i can see it in your eyes . suspicion and -- and disapproval . i knew i would get it from their family , but i did n't think i 'd get it from my own . katie : i do n't disapprove of your marriage if you 're doing this for the right reasons . donna : i tried to bring the families together , katie . i asked stephanie to be my matron of honor , but if she does n't put her sword down , i ca n't put down mine . i mean , brooke did , and -- and she got stabbed in the back every single time . katie : so this is about brooke ? donna : it 's about all of us . stephanie deserves to pay for what she 's done . and if my marriage to thorne makes her miserable , well , then i say good . katie : stephanie does n't believe that you love her son . is that true ? it 's a simple question , donna . yes or no ? do you love thorne ? donna : do you know how that makes me feel ? my own sister having as much faith in me as stephanie forrester . katie : oh , do n't turn this around on me . just tell me why you 're marrying thorne . donna : ( scoffs ) why am i marrying thorne ? why am i giving up a life of -- of waking up alone and eating alone and going to bed alone ? i do n't know , maybe -- maybe i 'm just crazy that way -- crazy to want to be loved by a man who 's never gon na hurt me , always appreciate me and treat me with respect . no , thorne is not my type . he 's better than my type . he 's the best person i 've ever met . ( sighs ) but you know what ? he says that he 's the lucky one , because i have given him so much companionship and -- and passion , the strength to stand up to his mother . katie : love ? donna : this is n't a romance novel . you do n't have to be head over heels for someone to make them happy . katie : so you do n't love him ? donna : you know what ? i am tired of this conversation , and i 'm not gon na have your little naive girl ways get in the way of the most important day of my life . katie : why ? why is it so important , donna ? is it important because you ca n't wait to marry thorne and live happily ever after ? or is important because you ca n't wait to make stephanie suck lemons ? donna : stephanie took brooke 's children from her . she is the enemy , okay ? it 's the logans versus the forresters . it always has been , and it always will be . katie : you 're about to become a forrester . donna : good . we finally have someone on the inside . look , you -- you do n't have to approve , but you will stand up for me . you 're a logan . remember that . and us logans -- we stick together ... no matter what . [ scene_break ] thorne : ( whispering ) stephanie : you know , you were the best baby i ever had . you were the one that , um -- you were the most fun . ( laughing ) and i should have paid more attention , and i should have set the bar higher , i know . and it 's my fault that you do n't expect more . thorne : or maybe it just looks that way to you , mother , because you expect too much from people . stephanie : maybe . but you deserve better than donna logan . i know i 've said that to you every which way i can , so i 'm gon na stop . you 're going to get married . i 'm not happy about it , but i 'm going to support it . thorne : really ? stephanie : really . you 're a smart guy . you 're going to figure this out eventually . it 's just that it breaks my heart to think you 're gon na go through a lot of pain and unhappiness , but this is your lesson to learn . thorne : ( scoffs ) this support does n't sound too supportive , mother . stephanie : maybe i should 've saved the support line for now . i love you . you know that . i am not happy about the choice that you 're making , but i 'm going to support it . and do n't ever forget that i will always , always be there for you . okay ? thorne : ( sniffs ) ( shakily ) thank you . i love you , mother . [ scene_break ] eric : it is . ashley : hello . have i missed anything ? rick : hey . no , not yet . ashley : really ? nothing 's happened ? i 'd heard that these forrester weddings could be very exciting . eric : we 're -- we 're hoping this one wo n't be . ( laughter ) ashley : okay . bridget : although i do n't know . the mood stephanie 's in ... eric : oh , boy . ashley , i 'm so glad you 're here , in spite of the fact that ridge is n't . ashley : thank you . yeah . bridget : yeah , you know , i think those kids really needed to be with brooke and ridge right now . ashley : yeah , well , ridge certainly felt so . stephanie : i do n't . i honestly do n't . i - i think it 's very selfish of brooke to keep his brother away from the wedding . i - i think ridge is probably the only one that could 've talked him out of this fiasco . well , it 's true , and he should be here . and brooke should just leave him alone . [ scene_break ] jackie : katie 's gone . donna : just ... give me the jewelry and let 's get over to the house . jackie : you did n't even think about what i said . donna : look , this -- this wedding is happening , jackie , and i do n't want to hear any more negativity from you or anybody else . [ scene_break ] ( knock on door ) katie : hey . thorne : hey , katie . katie : um ... katie : i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . thorne : no , no . i was just , uh , counting my blessings . i 'm a , uh , very , very lucky man . rick : so big bear , huh ? ashley : it 's okay . rick : just a weekend alone with my mom and the kids ? ashley : yup . they needed some time , and ridge has n't given me any reason not to trust him . rick : he 's missing his brother 's wedding , ashley . this is not just some simple family getaway . something else is going on . ashley : if it concerned me , ridge -- he would have told me . rick : he tried to take my mom 's kids away from her , and she forgave him . that should tell you more than ridge ever could . ( indistinct conversation ) eric : ( laughing ) all right . you stuck around . should i be happy about that ? stephanie : well , i changed my clothes , did n't i ? do n't worry about me . i have n't been able to accept this . i really would like to have stopped the wedding . ( sighs ) it is what it is . i wish there was somebody here , though , that could . [ scene_break ] jackie : so how did you handle things with your sister ? donna : katie does n't understand . jackie : hm . donna : i mean , she 's always had these grand ideas about love and marriage , just like you . except i do n't know where she gets hers from , because our parents are n't together . and -- and brooke has had how many husbands ? but no -- no , i have to be madly in love to -- to walk down the aisle . anything else would be a lie . jackie : she 's your family , donna . she just wants what 's best for you . donna : thorne is best for me , okay ? so why do n't you just , like , help me get this dress on and -- and get this wedding started ? katie : pretty significant pieces of jewelry . thorne : ( chuckles ) except for a crown , i 'd probably put 'em at the top of the list . katie : it 's a little daunting , is n't it ? thorne : it can be , if you take it seriously . some people do n't . some people see getting married as something to cross off the list of life 's experiences . katie : but that 's not true for you ? thorne : i 've been married to some incredible women . i know what this commitment means . katie : does it worry you that donna might not ? thorne : oh , she knows . it 's just actually different when you 've done it . katie : you do n't have as many romantic notions ? thorne : you 'd think so , but no . it 's even more romantic , because you really understand what you 're getting into . when i say `` i do , `` i 'm saying to donna that i will be there on the last day of our lives together . and i will be holding her hand through every single significant event that she goes through . katie : that 's beautiful . thorne : ( scoffs ) that 's marriage . katie : you really love my sister a lot , do n't you ? thorne : i realize that this happened fast , but sometimes love just catches you off guard . katie : yeah , donna can do that . thorne : ( chuckles ) well , that 's not all she 's done for me . she reached out to me when really needed help , when no one else noticed . you know , people -- they do n't give donna the credit that she deserves . i know my mother does n't . i mean , she has watched everyone else 's dreams come true . well , not anymore , because starting tonight , donna is going to get everything that she has ever wanted , including the respect of my family and support . katie : that 's an awful lot to ask of your mother thorne : well , i 'm not asking , and donna will not be treated the way that she 's been treated . my mother is going to have to accept that your sister and i love each other , period . however , this is not just about me . it 's about aly , too ... ( sighs ) my daughter . she 's just been through so much . i would n't be marrying your sister if i did n't think that her intentions were entirely pure . katie : but they 're not , thorne . they 're not . [ scene_break ] eric : i 'm so glad you 're here . thanks for coming . this is what thorne wants . stephanie : ( sighs ) he wanted a go - kart when he was 12 , and we did n't give it to him , because he was too ... eric : he is not 12 anymore . stephanie : i know that . i just wish -- look , i ca n't help it . i wish there was someone who could talk him out of this . that would be a miracle . [ scene_break ] donna : white might raise a few eyebrows , but it will definitely make stephanie sick . jackie : white is n't what it used to be . donna : well , today it signifies stephanie 's surrender . she had a million chances to accept my sister , and she did n't . now she 's got me . ( telephone buzzes ) donna : hello ? okay . it 's storm . it 's time . jackie : you 're really gon na go through with this ? donna : nobody is gon na stop me . [ scene_break ] thorne : look , i 'm not saying that donna 's trying to make my mother her best friend . katie : this is n't easy for me to say . and i 'm sure it 's not gon na be easy for you to hear , but you need to know what 's going on . donna does n't love you the way you think she does . thorne : yes , she does , katie . you do n't see it , but there is a connection . katie : where ? in the bedroom ? thorne : ( scoffs ) ye -- yeah , there is a physical side to it , yes . katie : is it just sex , or is there something more ? thorne : do you think that 's all i see in your sister ? katie : no , i think you see so much more . the way you talk about her -- it 's beautiful . i only hope that somebody thinks of me that way someday . but donna does n't love you . she 's just doing this to make stephanie insane . thorne : ( scoffs ) oh , did my mother put you up to this ? katie : donna wants stephanie to pay for every indignity that our family has endured . thorne : donna wants to bring our families together . katie : no , she does n't . that 's a lie . she does n't even think it 's possible . thorne : she told you that ? katie : i overheard her talking to jackie . thorne : oh , please . jackie hates my mother . katie : so does donna , so much that she 's willing to marry a man that she does n't love for revenge . thorne : no , katie . no . katie : you have n't ever had any doubts ? this has never even crossed your mind ? thorne : why are you doing this ? katie : because i have to . look , my sister will probably never talk to me again . you might not either , but i can not let you stand up and make a commitment based on a lie . thorne : are you asking me not to marry your sister ? katie : i ca n't tell you what to do . i just think you need to know the truth . what you do with that is up to you . i believe marriage is a sacred union . i do n't believe that it 's just a legal document , that it 's just a piece of paper . i believe that it 's the melding of two people -- their hearts , their bodies , their souls ... forever . and the only thing -- the only bond that lasts that long is love . thorne : how do you know that donna does n't love me , katie ? ( door opening ) eric : thorne ? minister is ready to start now . thorne : okay . okay . eric : you coming ? thorne : ( breathing hard ) ( playing instrumental music ) ( indistinct conversation ) ashley : rick , why do n't you go sit next to stephanie ? rick : what ? ! ashley : come on . no . forget about that . felicia : come on , somebody has to restrain her at the `` speak now or forever hold your peace `` bit . you 're a big , strapping guy . you might stand half a chance . rick : half a chance ?

( playing wagner 's `` bridal chorus from ' lohengrin ' `` ) phoebe : katie does n't look that great , either . donna : ( sighs ) ( whispering ) katie 's here . storm : where else would she be ? donna : ( mouths words )	katie overhears and puts donna to task . is that the real reason she is marrying thorne ? donna sees suspicion and disapproval in katie 's eyes and admits stephanie deserves to have her world turned upside down . pointblank katie asks if donna loves thorne ? donna pretends to be indignant with these feelings from her own family . she sets her straight ; it 's the logan 's against the forrester 's . if stephanie has to suck lemons , that 's great . katie does n't have to approve , but she will stand up for her ; the logan 's always stick together . thorne tells the minister he is anxious to get this started . all are worried about stephanie . eric conveys to all if she is this so against the wedding , perhaps it is best that she not attend . stephanie and jackie exchange not so clever barbs . stephanie has one last talk with thorne where she reveals she is not happy about this , but this is his lesson to learn and she will support it . she reminds him how much she loves him and will always , always be there for him . katie pays a last minute visit to thorne and chagrins when he laments what a lucky man he is . he lays out a rosy future for him and donna . katie thinks it 's beautiful , but then has to burst his bubble when she says donna 's motives are not entirely pure . rick seeks out ashley and manages to get into damaging remarks about brooke and ridge being up at big bear . ashley is determined to be understanding .

( sighs ) you were so determined . i should have known that something was gong on . ridge : i did n't think we could go back to beautiful , beautiful italy without proposing . brooke : you are ridge forrester after all . ridge : well , i do have a reputation to uphold . brooke : ( laughs ) ridge : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] bill : i want a real family dinner tonight with my boys -- both of them ... katie : ( laughs ) bill : and our ladies . katie : you know , liam went to go see hope . he could bring her home with him . ill : uh , yeah , that 's not gon na happen . she wants him to suffer . she 's not gon na be coming home with him any time soon . hey , i tried accepting hope , but i should have stuck to my instincts . so now it 's time to transform liam ... katie : ( sighs ) bill : move him back towards steffy . and that starts tonight . katie : ( sighs ) bill : now you 're sure i ca n't change your mind , huh ? katie : well , i do have to feed your child , so i guess i 'll be there ... bill : hmm . katie : for you . bill : i knew you 'd be there . i meant , can i change your mind about the cooking ? katie : ( groans ) ( laughs ) no . ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : yeah , i kissed hope so what ? it 's good publicity . steffy : hmm , does caroline agree ? thomas : ( sighs ) steffy : thought so . thomas : look , rick had just announce that i 'd be designing for hope for the future . you know me . i - i had to do something big . steffy : oh , i know you , `` mr. madly in love with hope not too long ago . `` look , liam did n't do anything at that club . okay , so he got a drunken tattoo that was n't even real . but for whatever reason , hope 's not forgiving him . they might actually be done for good . thomas : sighs ) [ scene_break ] liam : you 're not gon na convince me we 're better off apart . hope : ( sighs ) liam : you can hardly convince yourself . hope : i 'm not doing this anymore , liam . liam : why ? i - i 'm not -- and i 'm not minimizing what i did . i mean , i know . how much i hurt you . hope : you 're still hurting me right now . liam : why ? why ? hope : you 're hurting me . liam : because -- because i 'm here ? because i 'm fighting for us . hope : no ! because you still have n't told me the truth . liam : what ? hope : oh , forget it . liam : no , no , no . no , wait . hope : no , forget it . liam : whoa , hope , what do you mean by that ? hope : it 's -- no , it does n't matter . liam : you 're just talking about steffy ? hope : yeah . yes , i 'm talking about steffy and what the two of you did . liam : hope , i do n't know what to say . i 've been as honest with you as i possibly can , even .. ( sighs ) even about loving her , and i wish i could switch that off , believe me . hope : but you ca n't switch it off , liam . you ca n't . and -- and you ca n't stop acting on it . liam : you 're talking about italy when i thought you left me . hope : no , i 'm not . liam , i 'm not just talking about italy right now . liam : okay , then -- hope : i am talking about everything . any time that you are hurting , any time that we have a misunderstanding , you run straight to steffy , and there is a reason that you do that . you love her . and you do n't need to fight anymore . you 're good together . liam : okay , do i have a say in this ? because i prefer to be your husband . hope : sighs ) i find that really hard to believe , when the night before our wedding , you cheated on me . liam : what ? no , i did n't .	thomas tells liam this is hope 's decision and he needs to accept it and move on . liam says butt out . he tells hope that he could move on if he really thought she no longer loved him , but that does n't seem to be the case . thomas says it 's a strange relationship when one keeps saying they are sorry more times than they love the other . liam tells hope that he does love her . he says it over and over and says he will say it as many times as she needs to hear it . he wants to talk to hope alone , but thomas jumps in and tries to nix that . hope says it 's okay ; they do need to talk . stephanie catches ridge and brooke discussing their upcoming wedding . she teases that they ca n't just to go the courthouse and do a quickie ; that would be unfair to all the family despite their many marriages . stephanie has one other request , throw the bouquet to pam . and then she really shocks them by suggesting they marry at her house ; sort of a welcome into the family , finally . she 's almost floored when brooke gives her a big hug .
brooke : go ahead . say it . ridge : you sure about that ? a lifetime commitment to bill spencer ? rick : i already asked mom that same question , and she said yes . frankly , i think she 's rushing into things . brooke : sweetheart , bill and katie have agreed on a divorce settlement , and will is gon na be fine . he 's gon na be loved and protected . everybody 's just moving on . rick : including you . brooke : i think it 's time . do n't you ? rick : and you 're okay with this ? ridge : am i okay with what ? with her marrying bill spencer ? no . i would n't wish that on anybody . but there is an upside . we 're gon na get rid of quinn fuller . quinn : oooh . looks like the workouts are doing really well . eric : i 'm like this new man . i 'm invigorated . it feels really good . i 've lost five pounds already . i 'm not certain where they are , but i 've lost them . quinn : [ laughs ] eric : and , uh , i owe it all to you for encouraging me to live a new lifestyle . quinn : mm . eric : thank you . quinn : mm . eric : you should join me next time . quinn : i will , if i could keep up with you . [ both laugh ] pam : uh , excuse me . [ clears throat ] so , eric , here . your mail . eric : uh - huh . pam : and ... i made a special batch just for you . corner piece ? eric : do n't mind if i do . quinn : well , it 's just -- you know , just a bunch of empty calories , so ... pam : excuse me ? eric : yeah , i think -- i think maybe you 're probably right . i should -- i should cut back . pam : eric , one teensy little lemon bar is not gon na hurt you . quinn : no , of course not . but who could just stop at -- at one , you know what i mean ? and -- and we work in a fashion house , so everybody needs to be fit and trim . so i 'm just thinking maybe it 's a good idea not to bring lemon bars to the office anymore . pam : no more lemon bars ? are -- are you out -- eric ... eric : i think maybe quinn 's right . maybe it 's time to retire this lemon - bar recipe and start working on something a little more healthy . what do you say ? eric : so , ladies , what 's on the agenda ? pam : well , i -- quinn : well , i was just highlighting all of your meetings and your conference calls for you . eric : uh - huh . good . pam : oh . i thought that was supposed to be my job . [ chuckles ] eric : well , it is . quinn 's just helping out , though . quinn : absolutely . i have more than enough on my plate with the jewelry line . pam : good . by the way , speaking of jewelry , is n't it great that ivy 's back ? eric : [ chuckles ] yes , it is , is n't it ? pam : yeah . eric : and more than that , she wants to get back into the family business again . pam : oh , my gosh ! i think that 's a wonderful idea . eric : so do i . and we have quinn to thank for that . pam : we do ? eric : yes . it was her idea , and i absolutely agree . look , ivy is my brother 's daughter , and she 's an incredibly talented girl . it 's a win - win for everybody . [ telephone rings ] pam : ah . ha . my phone . um , i 'll just leave these here for you . eric : [ chuckling ] okay . pam : [ sighs ] quinn : what was i thinking ? dissing pam 's lemon bars . eric : you were n't dissing them . actually , and she understands that we 're just -- we 're going for a healthier lifestyle . quinn : and what about ridge and steffy ? are they gon na ever understand that i 'm not the enemy ? eric : i do not want you worrying about my son and my granddaughter , all right ? i want you here at forrester , and i want you in my life . there 's nothing they can do to change that . rick : the last i heard , katie was going after bill 's shares of forrester in the divorce settlement , and now mom 's somehow involved ? ridge : your mother -- steffy : hey . what 's going on ? ridge : i 'm filling in rick . close the door , please . thomas : something going on ? what 's ... quinn ... ? ridge : quinn is still with the company , but we 're one step closer . brooke has decided to get engaged to bill . steffy : what ? thomas : right . steffy : i , uh ... con - congrats , i ... rick : okay , what does one have to do with the other ? brooke : bill agreed to give me his shares in forrester as a wedding present . ridge : and then brooke is gon na sell her shares to me . and that 's the weapon i need to get rid of quinn . there you have it . quinn : you have such unwavering faith in me . i 've never know that from any man . eric : that 's because you 've been -- you 've been involved with the wrong men . i keep telling you that . quinn : yeah . mm - hmm . eric : not that i 'm perfect . quinn : [ gasps ] you are to me . ugh ! listen to me . i sound like a lovesick schoolgirl . eric : it 's great . it 's all right . quinn : yes , if i were 13 years old . but i am a grown woman and a mother . eric : and one who has n't had an easy time of it . until now . it 's about time . it 's gon na change . quinn : well , it already has thanks to you and your belief in me . i am a different woman . but ... i do still have my conspiratorial side . eric : oh , you do , do you ? quinn : i do . i do . i did something behind your back . [ giggles ] i told the house staff that they could go home early tonight . they are going to put something in the oven for us . and i just want to sit on the patio with you , and i want to drink martinis and watch the sunset . or we can just sit inside and watch a movie . i do n't care . i just want to be alone with you , just you and me . eric : how do you feel about `` casablanca `` ? quinn : the movie or the city ? eric : the movie . it 's one of my favorites . quinn : then it 's one of mine , too . eric : [ chuckles ] good . quinn , it 's okay , you know , for you to be perfectly happy , especially if it 's for the first time in your life . quinn : even if it 's at the expense of my own son 's marriage ? eric : wyatt and steffy will work things out . quinn : not as long as i 'm involved with your or this company . steffy has made that perfectly clear . eric : i love my granddaughter , and i understand her . but issuing ultimatums is not gon na do any good . and that goes for ridge , too . quinn : he keeps telling that it 's only a matter of time . like i 'm about to be banished from your life . eric : well , he can tell you anything he wants . but it 's simply not gon na come true . you 're gon na stay here with me . and the rest of the family needs to understand that , too . you 're not going anywhere . rick : the ink is barely dry on bill spencer 's divorce papers and he 's proposing to you ? mom , what kind of guy does that ? steffy : a man who 's pursuing your mother while he was married to her sister . thomas : steffy . steffy : no , it 's -- well , it 's true . you 're not denying it . given her feelings for bill -- ridge : this is n't about brooke 's feelings for bill or bill 's feelings for brooke . rick : yeah . right , ridge . it 's all about you getting your hands on bill spencer 's shares . ridge : it 's about getting quinn out of this company and out of my dad 's life . you understand that ? thomas : only rick 's intimating something else , are n't you ? that by dad securing all these shares , he 's also securing his future at forrester for himself and his kids . rick : can you blame a guy ? by backing your father , it 's not eliminating any chance that i might be c.e.o . one day ? ridge : okay , okay . i understand your concern , i really do , given the history that we 've had . and i 've talked to your mom about it . and i want to talk to you . you will always have a place at forrester . i will make sure that everything is gon na go the way that you want it to . for you . for maya . for lizzy . nothing to worry about . rick : and when you get bill spencer 's shares ? brooke : well , then , i sell them to ridge , and he combines his and steffy 's and thomas ' ... thomas : and we 'll have enough of the shares for majority control over forrester creations . steffy : control that we need more than ever . rick : okay , that 's all fine . but i 'm still worried about dad . i mean , if these are signs that -- look , he 's starting to lose it , ridge . ridge : we 're all worried about dad . if it turns out that 's what it is , then we will get together , and we will make sure that we protect his legacy . everything he 's worked for . so , brooke , thank you . thank you for your sacrifice . quinn 's days are numbered . quinn : ohh . eric : i need to shower and change clothes before my meeting . quinn : oh , i could help you , though . i could -- i could scrub your back . or , better yet , i can reserve the steam room for later . eric : as tempting as that sounds , we should n't give ridge any more ammunition . quinn : oh , like the stories of ridge and brooke and their escapades in the steam room are n't legendary around here . eric : yeah , apparently my son has a different set of standards for himself than he has for his old man . well , it does n't matter to me . i 'm not living my life for him , or for anybody else in my family . as much as i love them , they do n't dictate what i do . there 's only one person who can do that now . quinn : are you saying that i can reserve the steam room for later , then ? eric : i have never felt more alive in my life . how many men at my age can say that ? and how many men have you in their life ? quinn fuller , my own private fountain of youth . quinn : [ giggles ] rick : you know , i do n't know what ridge and steffy are trying to accomplish by confronting dad . thomas : it does n't have to be a confrontation if granddad listens without getting defensive . brooke : i do n't think eric is hearing too much these days when quinn is nearby . rick : she does n't know about the 12.5 % , does she ? thomas : no . and she ca n't . she ca n't know anything until bill 's shares are brooke 's . otherwise we lose the element of surprise , which is crucial . rick : in snatching the company out from under dad . brooke : oh , honey , we do n't want it to be this way . least of all me . we all love eric very much . but quinn is feeding off of his decency and his compassion . so for eric 's sake , and this company 's sake , we need to put a stop to it . ridge : [ sighs ] hi . where 's dad ? quinn : he 's in a meeting . steffy : how long will he be ? quinn : um ... i do n't know . but you 're more than welcome to wait . steffy : oh , so you 're just his personal secretary now , huh ? quinn : no , i 'm just helping eric out any way that i can . ridge : oh , that 's so nice . no one 's buying it . steffy : except granddad . but that 's gon na change . sooner than you think , quinn . quinn : is that supposed to make me feel insecure ? ridge : you should feel insecure , because the whole family 's united against you . steffy : my grandfather , he 's a victim . he does n't see that now , but when he does -- quinn : what ? it 's just gon na justify how his questioning his judgment and his mental state ? you know , just because a person becomes a certain age does n't mean they should be pushed aside . eric still has so much more to contribute . steffy : no one would say otherwise . quinn : yes , they would . especially with the fact that you guys keep treating him like less than the man that he is . just because he 's making choices that you do n't approve of . ridge : he did n't choose you ! you seduced him 'cause you wanted something . quinn : my feelings for eric and his feelings for me are very genuine . not to mention transformative . he is working out , losing weight , eating better . he 's having sex . steffy : what ? ! ridge : oh , god . quinn : he is creating again . working at his company , living in his house . the same house and company he gave up for his kids and his grandkids because he loved them so much . he 's in the middle of a renaissance . you should be so thankful . steffy : to you . we will never be thankful to you . thomas : i have the utmost respect for granddad . but him opening up his life to quinn after everything that she 's done , after everything that she 's done to steffy ... rick : we should get him to see someone . brooke : a doctor you mean ? rick : well , yeah , mom . i realize there 's no single test to determine whether or not somebody 's got dementia . and god forbid that 's what 's happening . but it could affect his -- his judgment and his reasoning . thomas : something tells me he 's gon na fight us on that , too . he already thinks we 're treating him like a child . and if we get a doctor involved , then ... brooke : that 's right . we do n't want to push him any closer to quinn . rick : yeah , that 's the last thing we want . brooke : eric had a void in his life , and quinn filled it . rick : we should have done more . we should have spent more time with him . thomas : brooke , everything is riding on you getting these shares from bill . brooke : they 're not mine yet . rick : true . but you could always change your mind about marrying bill . brooke : [ sighs ] thomas : then that jeopardizes everything we 're trying to accomplish here . rick : well , yeah , but this is my mother 's future we 're talking about , not just dad and his company . and if my mom has any kind of reservations , any reservations at all about -- brooke : honey , i 'm gon na tell you again -- i am very comfortable with my decision . i know you do n't like this , but i do love bill . rick : [ sighs ] [ grumbles ] brooke : and we have to get rid of quinn . and with bill 's shares , we will be able to do that . thomas : soon to be your shares . and goodbye quinn . quinn : i realize everything i say or do is suspect . i 'm just hoping , in time , you both realize that i 'm -- ridge : that you really are good for our dad ? do n't hold your breath . steffy : all you care about is tearing people 's lives apart . ridge : your own son does n't want this to happen because of what it does to his marriage . steffy : do you even care about his happiness anymore ? do you ? quinn : of course i do . it 's killing me that my relationship with eric is the reason that you walked out on him . steffy : and yet all you have to do is just do one thing to change all that . quinn : steffy , you got to listen to me . i - i know what your feelings are for me , but you have to separate them from your feelings for your husband , because he loves you . steffy : that -- quinn , that is not the issue . it 's you and -- and your endless manipulations . quinn : okay , look . you can keep heaping all your abuse on me . steffy : [ scoffs ] quinn : all right ? i can take it . i have earned your suspicion . i have earned your caution . but please , please , please stop punishing my son . steffy : i 'm not punishing wyatt . this is you . i had to get away because of you . it all goes back down to you , quinn . quinn : you really hate me that much ? steffy : i 'm sure the feelings are mutual . quinn : no , actually , they 're not . despite everything we 've been through , i love you . steffy : if that 's true , you would leave my grandfather . quinn : i ca n't . i ca n't do that . not -- not now , when i 've finally found love . i - i 've waited so long for it . and , yeah , that 's right , i do . i love him . i love eric , and i love the woman that i am because of him . ridge : the woman you 've become ? wow . to me , you just seem like the same deceitful -- eric : all right , that 's enough . both of you . look , you can choose to be defiant and refuse to respect quinn . but i am not gon na allow you to badger her constantly and disrespect me this way . i 've chosen to share my life with quinn , and you and the rest of the family are just gon na have to -- you 're just gon na have to learn to get along with that . you have to learn to accept it as long as i am the founder of this company and the patriarch of this family . as long as i 'm running this company , you will respect me . is that clear ? ridge : i heard you . eric : come on . ridge : as long as he 's running this company , steffy .	ridge is not happy that brooke is engaged to bill . he would not wish that on anyone . but he does explain to rick , steffy and thomas that with the wedding comes bill 's shares that he will give brooke as a wedding gift . brooke will sell to him and with that he has what he needs to get rid of quinn so that is all that matters now . he tells them he knows rick still has his concerns and wants to be ceo again but he assures him he will always have a place in the company with maya and little lizzy . they will protect eric 's legacy as his days are numbered . eric does a good workout and tells quinn that he lost five pounds . he does n't know what happened to them but he has lost them . pam walks in with her lemon bars which quinn nixes and even convinces eric they need to avoid these and try something healthier . quinn conveys to eric that ridge keeps telling her that it is only a matter of time until she is leaving . eric retorts that ridge can say that all he wants but he wants her here and she is not going anywhere . as much as he loves ridge and his family he is not living his life for him . he declares quinn as his own fountain of youth . thomas tells rick that quinn must not know of these shares until brooke actually marries bill and she gets the shares .
steffy : you should take the day off . you barely closed your eyes last night . liam : i can't . i got to deal with this , steffy . it 's got to stop . steffy : but it has . liam : has it ? no , it hasn't . not really . and it 's not going to as long as my dad does n't think he did anything wrong . i mean , the -- the lie to sally and thomas about caroline 's health , that 's one thing . but my dad ordered spectra to be torched . for what ? to sink sally so he can build his stupid skyscraper ? if i let him get away with that , i 'm no better than he is . truth has to come out . steffy : you know what would happen if the truth comes out . look , what your dad did was awful , and i do n't condone it , but , liam , he 's your father . justin : so c.j . on his way ? bill : reception just called . my dream is finally coming to fruition . justin : all thanks to the spark of an idea . bill : [ chuckles ] yeah . [ knock on door ] c.j . : mr. spencer ? bill : c.j . ! come on in . have a seat . c.j . : well , i guess we all know why i 'm here . attempting to revive spectra fashions was a sentimental mistake that has now turned into a complete disaster . and the building caught on fire . people could have died . look , it 's over , okay ? and i am selling to you as promised . ridge : wow . i 'm impressed . zende : yeah ? ridge : and these are n't just skillful designs . they 're -- they 're bold and they 're confident . zende : wow . thank you both . i worked really hard on them . ridge : you keep coming up with work like this , you 're gon na have a bright future in this business . nicole : every day at the office should be like this . hanging out with you while your mommy finishes up her photo shoot . oh , and you should see the dress your uncle zende designed for her , lizzy . lizzy : [ babbles ] nicole : it 's beautiful . lizzy : [ babbling ] nicole : [ chuckles ] lizzy : [ babbling ] ma - ma - ma . zende : i 've been given an amazing opportunity here . trust and believe when i say i intend to make the most of it . rick : you already are . zende : the best thing about it is that i 'm still growing as an artist . you know , i learn something new every day . ridge : well , you 're learning to trust your instincts , and that 's good . zende : how can i not ? i have you two , granddad , basically the entire family giving me support and encouragement . i 'm really excited about my future here at forrester . and i 'm excited about my future with nicole . nicole : lizzy , i love you , too . i know that 's all you 're trying to say , because you 're such a sweet , little baby ! yes . maya : there 's my little girl . [ chuckles ] nicole : hey . see ? i told you mama would be back soon . maya : yeah . nicole : how was the shoot ? maya : oh , it was good . it was good ! [ gasps ] and did you have fun with your auntie nicole ? [ laughs ] hmm ? with your auntie ? liam : my dad , he thinks my conscience makes me weak . well , he 's about to find out it 's the strongest thing about me . steffy : what are you gon na do ? liam , you 're a spencer . and that sword you 're wearing , your father gave you this . family is important to him . liam : [ scoffs ] not important enough to make him listen . power and leverage , steffy . that 's the language my father understands . and for the first time , that 's what i have . and i 'm not afraid to use it . bill : give the man a pen , justin . c.j . 's ready to sign . c.j . : whoa , whoa , wait , wait . this is not the agreement that we discussed last time . justin : slightly modified . bill : if you 're looking for the $ 5 million in cash , you 're not gon na find it . c.j . : yes , well , that i expected , but this purchase price is way lower . bill : you ca n't expect me to pay top dollar for a smoking pile of rubble . c.j . : the building is still standing . it 's not a total loss . bill : this is not a negotiation , c.j . you should have accepted either one of my very generous previous offers . now you 'll take what i give you and be grateful for it . maya : thank you for bringing lizzy down to see me . nicole : oh , yeah . i knew you 'd want to see her soon as you were done . maya : you were right about that . your mommy wants to see you . hey , what about that ? yeah . [ laughs ] zende : hey , there you are . nicole : hey . zende : what 's up ? nicole : did your meeting with ridge go as well as you 'd hoped ? zende : better . get this . he 's impressed with my designs . nicole : well , of course he is . maya : your designs are beautiful . zende : thank you . actually , what he said was , `` you 're growing as a designer . `` nicole : wow . baby , that 's amazing . zende : yeah , i know . rick was there , too , and he agreed . i mean , this is an incredible opportunity for me . it reminds me of what ridge said to me about my designs . you have to trust your instincts . right ? if you have a feeling that you need to do something , then do it . it 's the sole reason why i presented my designs to ridge and steffy in the first place , why i worked so hard to get this shot . just never go against your gut . ai n't that right , baby ? [ chuckles ] nicole : yes . ridge : look at this . zende , right ? his confidence is growing . it 's amazing . steffy : ca n't get overconfident . ridge : what does that mean ? steffy : what ? oh , nothing . i 'm just -- sorry , i 'm thinking about something else . rick : yeah , so am i , actually . as a matter of fact , i got a phone call to get ready for , so ... ridge : hey . what are you doing ? steffy : it 's liam . ridge : you guys having problems ? steffy : no , no , we 're not . i 'm just worried about his relationship with his father . c.j . : okay , i get that the $ 5 million you offered me on the side is off the table , which was probably illegal for me to take anyway . but my mother and i thought that you were a legitimate businessman who would honor the rest of his agreement . bill : what agreement ? you rejected both of my previous offers . even when i thought we had a deal , you backed out . c.j . : [ sighs ] you 're gon na demolish the building anyway . you do n't care that it 's been damaged . justin : but it does affect the value of the property . bill : you came to me . and because i 'm in a good mood , i 'm willing to do you a solid . but spencer publications is not a charity . it is a business . all right , look , c.j . , now , we 're businessmen . you understand how this works . if i see an advantage , i have to take it . you made a mistake , a big mistake . you did n't carry fire insurance on the building . you ca n't recover . hell , you ca n't even hire somebody to sweep up the debris . so if you want to get anything out of that wreck , you 'll take whatever i 'm willing to give you . liam : do n't do it , c.j . do n't take the offer . rick : you did n't say anything about the photo shoot . maya : it was fine . it was fine . rick : you were excited about it this morning . did something go wrong ? maya : uh ... it happened again . rick : what ? maya : lizzy called nicole `` mama `` when she was taking care of her during the photo shoot . rick : i thought that that was n't a problem anymore . maya : it 's not . the adoption papers are signed . everything is settled . and nicole did n't do anything wrong . rick : what did she have to say about it ? maya : i did n't tell her that i heard it . maybe i should have brought it up . i just ... i did n't want to overreact . it is so hard to forget what happened , rick . i mean , first the adoption papers and -- and nicole being able to have children and how hurt she was . it was horrible . rick : it 's okay now . we got through it . maya : and i want to believe that . i do . i just ca n't help feeling concerned . nicole : all of your hard work is paying off . zende : i want to thank you for putting up with me , staying up all hours of the night . nicole : i am so proud of you . you 're making a name for yourself at forrester creations . zende : [ chuckles ] ridge : what has bill done now ? steffy : something that liam disagrees with . ridge : i 'd be more concerned if liam did n't disagree with everything that his father does . can you imagine being saddled with that ? bill spencer 's your dad ? the only good news is that liam is nothing like his father . bill : liam , i 'm in a meeting . liam : i know . trying to buy the spectra building . or what 's left of it . bill : and i 'd like to get on with it , so if you 'll excuse us . liam : no . no , i think there 's some things c.j . needs to know before he accepts your bargain - basement offer . bill : you do n't know what i 'm offering . liam : i know you . justin : c.j . , why do n't we step out for a minute ? bill and his president obviously have some things they need to discuss . c.j . : actually , it sounds like liam has some things to discuss with me , and i 'd like to hear him out . bill : nobody 's gon na say another word until i 've had some time alone with my son . i deal with my personal problems privately . [ door closes ] what the hell are you doing ? liam : the right thing . bill : you 're sticking your nose where it does n't belong . liam : yeah , well , you know what ? i 'm tired of the lies . i 'm not gon na let you scam sally and her family out of their property because you need to tower over l.a. you 're not gon na put your damn building on their property . and i will stop you . i do n't care how i have to . i will stop you . maya : i do n't think that nicole would try to take lizzy away from us . rick : hey , that ca n't happen . maya : but i am concerned about their attachment . lizzy 's too young to explain this to her . nicole is a grown woman , and she was confused by her feelings . rick : that 's because she was dealing with her own issues . maya : i do n't blame nicole for what lizzy said to her , but i do think that during this crucial phase in lizzy 's development , it 's important that things be crystal clear . rick : do you think we both should talk to nicole together ? maya : she ca n't help what she feels . but neither can i . and as lizzy 's mother , my instinct is to protect her . rick : right . we do n't want to put our child in a situation that 's gon na be confusing to her . maya : and -- and i do n't want that for nicole , either . rick : okay . all right , baby . we 'll think of something . maya : jean - luc . rick : what ? maya : you mentioned that jean - luc is leaving the international office . maybe nicole and zende should spend some time in paris . nicole : you told me that good things were gon na happen for us . zende : i did . they are . we have so much to look forward to . rick : you want to send zende and nicole to paris ? maya : you said yourself that you would have to find a replacement for jean- luc . this would be an amazing opportunity for zende as a young designer . he and nicole have n't been married very long . let them focus on each other . we can focus on being parents to our precious little girl . ridge : you know , i bet there are days when liam wishes he were n't related to bill at all . steffy : he loves his father . ridge : i 'm sure he does , but i do n't think he likes him very much . steffy : he does n't like his behavior . ridge : his behavior . specifically what does that mean ? steffy : they just have very strong opinions , and ... i do n't know . it makes me worry . ridge : 'cause they 're at odds ? steffy : no , because bill has always been able to make liam do what he wants , and i do n't think it 's gon na happen this time . ridge : well , that 's good ! finally someone 's gon na stand up to the great bill spencer . bill : you want to take me on over two - bit spectra fashions ? liam : i want you to understand that what you did was wrong . bill : c.j . came to me . liam : yeah , because you left him no choice . bill : [ sighs ] you have issues with the way i handled this situation . it offends your -- your morals and your principles . and i can respect that . but i will not let it interfere in my business . do you understand ? you will not say or do anything to compromise my acquisition of that property or the construction of spencer tower . liam : i do n't think you 're hearing me . i will do everything i can to stop you . bill : c.j . has to sell . liam : no , he doesn't . not to you , and not like this . i 'm not gon na let you strong - arm c.j . and put sally out of business . you think you 're tough . you think you 're doing what 's best for the company . i used to respect that about you , your singlemindedness , the way you took charge , the way you steered the ship . this is not that . you 've lost perspective . there 's nothing noble about what you 're doing right now . you 're not acting like a titan of business . you attacked a young girl and her family like a coward . bill : all right , that 's it ! not another word ! liam : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . but i 'm not gon na shut up , and i 'm not gon na keep your secrets for you anymore , dad . bill : you 're not gon na keep my secrets ? liam : nope . bill : you 're not gon na be loyal to me ? you 're a spencer , liam ! liam : and as a spencer , i have a duty to protect this family and this company . i just never thought i would be protecting it from you . bill : what the hell are you trying to say ? liam : [ sighs ] take a leave of absence . bill : take a leave -- [ laughs ] you 're kidding . liam : take a leave of absence or i go to the police . bill : you won't . liam : i do n't want to . but if you force my hand ... bill : that 's it . you 're done . liam : excuse me ? bill : you 're fired . get out of my building . liam : i 'm not going anywhere , dad . you are . bill : i 'm the c.e.o . of this company . liam : yes , you 're the c.e.o . of this company , and you 've abused your power . you told that stupid , awful lie about caroline dying , and you manipulated all of us into going along with it . and when that did n't work , when you could n't get what you wanted by deception , you committed a crime . you crossed a line . there is a limit to what decent men can justify , dad , and we are long , long past that , so you will step down ! bill : the hell i will . this is my business . mine . liam : not anymore .	liam tells steffy that things are not over as long as bill still does not think he did anything wrong . and if liam overlooks this then he is no better than bill . steffy says he does not have to do this as that is his father . he says his father thinks his conscious is weak but he is about to find that it is the strongest thing about him . and he is not afraid to use it now . cj drops in on bill and admits it was a sentimental but monumental mistake that did not work out and now he is here to sell spectra . but he does not agree when he looks over the new contract that bill drew up . of course it does not include the extra $ 5 million but it also does not include the original selling price . bill says surely he did not expect that for a pile of rubble , so take it or leave it . he says cj made a mistake with no insurance so now he will have to take what he gets . spencer publications is a business , not a charity . liam starts to go in when he hears this . bill tells cj to take the offer and that this is none of liam 's concern . liam says no , cj needs to hear this before he accepts bill 's bargain basement offer . bill says he deals with his personal problems privately so he excuses justin and cj so he can talk to liam .
hope : i have no right to feel anything but gratitude . you know , i have you . i have our baby . and i lead an incredibly privileged life . you know , i do my best to pay it forward , but ... liam : you do . you -- [ chuckles ] you know you do . hope : yeah , but i feel like i can never give back as much as i 've been given . still , i feel selfish saying i want success , too . liam : what are you talking about ? hope for the future is you giving back . how is that selfish ? hope : well , it 's just gon na seem like a vanity project if ridge forces us to scale back so steffy does n't have to . thorne : i just want to circle back . where exactly did this belt - tightening policy come from ? because business is good , right ? it 's never been better , actually . so since when do we starve one line to promote another ? ridge : that 's not what i 'm suggesting at all . thorne : yeah , that 's exactly what you 're -- katie : but you are suggesting that you can only fund one of the lines -- either the intimates line or hope for the future . ridge : katie , what i 'm saying is , that we ca n't lose our identity . we 're not a department store . we do n't sell gowns on one floor and washing machines on the other . it 's not what we do . and i think we 've learned , if we throw too much at the public , they wo n't know who we are . katie : does n't it really boil down to whose daughter is a better investment ? yours or brooke 's ? bill : that loser 's never supported you or your children in any significant way . brooke : bill , stop . bill : it 's true . brooke : ridge is a loving husband . and a loving stepfather to hope . bill : until his own daughter tugs on his shirtsleeve . brooke : i do n't think you have room to talk on the subject of steffy . bill : i had a lapse in judgment . i own it . i suppose you know what your sister intends for it to cost me . brooke : the custody question . i heard . bill : i do n't have to ask whose side you 're on . brooke : oh , bill . you think you know me so well . bill : whatever i 've done , and whatever i 've left undone , i love that boy . brooke : i know you do . i just think that katie feels this equal custody sharing is n't gon na work because you have too many commitments . bill : all right , look , i -- i know you two are close . but do n't ask me to sit here and listen to you defend katie 's position . i ca n't lose another son . brooke : and i do n't want that for you . i think katie 's wrong . thorne : ridge did not like that last question you asked him . did you notice ? katie : is it bad that i find it so sexy when you spar with your brother ? thorne : no . i find it sexy the way you defended the line that i designed for him . katie : well , i will always stand up for my niece . oh , and the hot guy in my life . [ giggles ] liam : you ca n't be thinking of this as a question of -- of you versus steffy . i mean , ridge gave zero indication that he 's gon na kill either line . it 's -- it 's just about which line gets to grow faster , is how i heard it . hope : if that were all he meant . but when ridge mentions my name and steffy 's in the same sentence ... i do n't know . i just -- i always hear more than what he 's saying . ridge : do you come in peace ? steffy : not entirely . ridge : so this grievance you have , is it with your old man ? steffy : it 's not a grievance . yet . besides , i removed myself from the decision - making process in your horse race between hope and me . ridge : `` horse race . `` wow . no . it 's not a competition . it 's not between you and hope . this is what i need to do to get this company going without spreading it too thin . steffy : yeah . yeah , i understand . ridge : thank you . steffy : as long as , when you make your choice , it 's not hope for the future . katie : [ exclaims ] i do n't know what got into me . thorne : wow . i have n't been jumped like that since high school . katie : [ sighs ] i need to watch myself . and you need to help me . thorne : what are you -- what are you doing ? katie : well , if there was ever a time to be paranoid , now is that time , going up against bill spencer . what ? thorne : are you looking for cameras ? katie : yes ! he -- he -- he 's done worse . thorne : [ laughing ] katie : and he plays dirty . thorne : hey , hey . do n't let him get into your head , okay ? katie : oh ... it 's -- it 's -- [ chuckles ] it 's just that [ sighs ] he think i 'm trying to do something that i 'm not . i 'm not trying to cut him out of will 's life . it 's just that the whole 50/50 thing of , like , you know , `` you pick him up on friday , and then i 'll pick him up next friday `` is just not something he can commit to . so if he 's gon na be in and out of will 's life , then i 'd rather have him be this , like , happy , fun surprise rather than a disappointment for will when he does n't show up . bill : whoa , whoa . wait a minute . did i hear that right ? you 're on my side ? brooke : it 's not a matter of sides . it 's a matter of being there for your son no matter what . and this whole last year , when your son needed you the most , you were n't there for him . bill : okay , but until then , i was a rockstar dad . a - and now it 's like i 'm a stranger to him . brooke : a year 's a long time , bill . and a judge is going to say the same thing . so what 's your answer gon na be ? bill : nothing i can repeat in court . brooke : well , whatever it is , make sure you leave steffy out of it . bill : it was n't her doing . i reverted to who i was 20 years ago . i just set my sights on what i wanted , and that 's all that mattered . but i do n't want to be that guy again . i found a better life . maybe it found me . i do n't want to lose that , brooke . will you help me ? hope : [ sighs ] okay . maybe you 're right . if the line grows more slowly than i had hoped , i will survive . i do n't have to be an overnight success . liam : uh , do n't look now , but you already kind of are . hope : [ chuckles ] in a way . but , you know , to be honest , that is what bothers me about this . i mean , hope for the future has so much momentum right now , and ... but you know ridge . what steffy wants , steffy gets . liam : okay , see , now you 're projecting . and that 's not fair . i mean , you -- you saw . you saw how pleased ridge was with your line . he 's cl -- he 's clearly just trying to do what 's best for forrester . hope : he may intend to -- liam : no , st -- do n't -- do n't do that to yourself . steffy has been nothing but supportive , okay ? she 's not gon na go , like , sabotage you behind your back . ridge : you said you took yourself out of this -- what 'd you call it ? -- horse race . so should we be discussing this ? steffy : hope 's mining a new market . young women who ca n't afford the couture line . more power to her . but do we really want to turn our backs on the clientele we spent decades grooming ? they know us for the couture line . and the bedroom / intimates line . all we have to do is boot up the lingerie and sell the hell out of it . and we do n't have to make that many changes . we can change some of the designs , change the fabric . and that will give us a huge margin . that 's why i think hope for the future should be just ... put on the back burner for a little bit . and we can get back to basics . ridge : okay . i hear you . steffy : but ? ridge : [ sighs ] but can you -- can you honestly tell me that you 're not doing this because you 're getting back at liam 's new bride ? steffy : dad , here 's what i can tell you . i need it more than she does . katie : so ? now what ? thorne : i do n't know . wait around for ridge to tell me if i still have a job . katie : [ sighs ] come on . i mean , he said he was just gon na scale back one of the lines , not get rid of it completely . so -- so , worst - case scenario is that he scales back hope for the future and he brings you on to help out with couture . thorne : yeah , well , that has n't been offered yet , and i do n't expect it will . but do n't worry . i always land on my feet . katie : well , just so long as , whatever happens , you give me the heads up if you 're going back to paris . thorne : are you kidding ? that 's not gon na happen . katie : well , it has before . thorne : we have a custody battle to win , remember ? katie : yeah . bill : i keep saying i 'm sorry over and over again , but nothing changes . when will it be enough ? brooke : that 's for the people that you hurt to decide , not you . bill : [ sighs ] you know , i -- i cringe when i realize i 've become the one thing i said i never would . my father . my oldest son hates me . wyatt barely tolerates me . and -- and my youngest son , it 's like he does n't even want to be around me . you are the one person i know who 's gone through cannon - fire - level drama and scandal and come out of it on the other side unscathed . mostly . how do you do that , brooke ? how do i fix it ? brooke : well , you have to just take it . and you have to show up , and you have to keep saying that you were wrong , and then let them get mad and angry and slap you around . you know , and then you have to come back and do it all over again until they believe that you are sincere . you can turn this around , bill . bill : i have always been the biggest proponent of visualization , when you see it in your mind 's eye , and you can make it happen . [ sighs ] but i 'm not so sure anymore . brooke : [ scoffs ] bill , be sensible . this is n't about skyscrapers and yachts . this is about love . and your boys love you very much . and that love will never die . sometimes it can get silenced , and it can disappear for a while , but it 's just waiting for a sign . a sign to know when it can come back out again . bill : look , there 's -- there 's virtually no time . i mean , the court might really take my son away from me . brooke : okay . what do you want me to do ? bill : will you talk to katie ? brooke : [ scoffs ] do n't you think our lives are tangled enough than for me to go and propose your case to my sister ? bill : no , you 're right . you 're right . i should n't have asked . i - i just thought that you 're the one person who could get through to her . brooke : nobody can know about this conversation . bill : understood . brooke : that means katie . bill : katie who ? brooke : especially ridge . bill : the last thing i want to do is cause any trouble for you , brooke . steffy : is thorne working on some new sketches ? hope : heh . yeah , your uncle . nothing is a problem . you make a suggestion , 10 minutes later , it 's in your hand . never seen a designer so ... i do n't know . what 's the opposite of tortured ? steffy : yeah , i get it . my father 's process includes breaking things and alienating everyone in a 100-yard radius . hope : hmm . really ? i never noticed . steffy : have you talked to my father ? hope : not since the meeting . steffy : so do n't you think you 're jumping the gun a little ? hope : well , ridge did n't say he was killing either of the lines . why ? do you know something i do n't ? did you talk to him ? steffy : briefly . but i am co - c.e.o . hope : well , i thought you decided not to play that card . steffy : you ca n't ask me to stop knowing what i know about the company , hope . hope : can i ask you to please not use your influence with your father against me ? steffy : i 'm not against you . you 're starting something bold and exciting , and people love working with you . hope : thank you . steffy : but you 're a new bride . and you have a baby on the way . do n't you want to take a step back ? enjoy your new family time at home ? hope : i do n't have to go away to do that . but clearly you 'd like me to . steffy : okay . i should n't have said anything . hope : no , you did n't have to . i 've had that old feeling all day . feeling of being in competition with you . steffy : i mean , you already won . hope : did i ? steffy , -i thought we had your blessing . steffy : you do . and i made a decision . i 'm standing by it . i do n't regret it . but it came at a cost . hope : and i do n't doubt that . but now you want me to return the favor and leave the field to you and the intimates line ? steffy : yeah , i do . hope : because ... ? steffy : do n't you think it 's fair ? you have the future i was building , the man i was building it with . and i 'm honestly happy for you . but i need something of my own . forrester creations is a place where i can lose myself , hope . and you 're doing a great line with hope for the future , but do n't you think you should just step back and let people miss it ? hope : so you want me to tell ridge that i am not interested in expanding the line ? steffy : yes . and he will thank you for it . brooke : nobody can know about this conversation . especially ridge . bill : the last thing i want to do is cause any trouble for you , brooke . ridge : ah , there 's my little chickadee . hi . brooke : oh , i 'm nobody 's chickadee . ridge : [ sighs ] okay . well , you seemed upset when you left , and you still seem a little upset now . brooke : well , there was a little tension . so i went to il giardino and had a latte and a sinful beignet . ridge : 'cause powdered sugar calms your nerves ? brooke : no , not really . [ sighs ] ridge : please tell me you understand that this is not about hope 's line or steffy 's line . this is about our company . brooke : look , i do n't want to get all historical on you , but brooke 's bedroom , my line , was very successful before steffy took over the intimates . ridge : which is why it 's still relevant today . brooke : you 've already decided , have n't you ? ridge : maybe you 're right . maybe we should n't have this conversation . brooke : i did n't say that . ridge : no , you just walked out . brooke : because i do n't understand how you could pit these two girls against each other when they finally have some kind of peace . ridge : i 'm not pitting anyone against each other . i 'm the c.e.o . of this company . i 'm trying to do the right thing . brooke : and i 'm sure you talked to the co - c.e.o . oh . you did . ridge : yes , of course i did .
