[ phoebe snickers ] phoebe : that 's one way of putting it . gaby : look , phoebe , i do n't know why you 're saying all this , but if there 's anything i can do -- steffy : breakfast ! phoebe : phoenix . you should really go . thomas : phoebe , we need to talk . phoebe : look at all this yummy food . gaby : phoebe asked me to leave . she wants me to go to phoenix and be with my cousins . thomas : she found out about last night . gaby : what ? no , how could she ? thomas : the -- she found the -- steffy : good morning . taylor : good morning . phoebe : i am starved . taylor : good morning . phoebe : good morning . thomas : you better not do anything stupid . phoebe : guess what , everybody . gaby 's made a decision . go ahead , gaby . tell them . taylor : tell us about what ? phoebe : gaby 's moving to phoenix . steffy : what ? thomas : that 's not true . phoebe : to be with her cousins . is n't that right , gaby ? taylor : is that true ? gaby : no , mrs. forrester . i 'm staying here . and i will say this again -- i m really sorry if i 've caused problems between you and mr. forrester . phoebe : you should be . you 're the reason dad moved out . thomas : phoebe ! taylor : it 's complicated , sweetheart . phoebe : gaby moved in and dad moved out . what 's complicated about that ? taylor : sweetheart , i 've talked to you about this . phoebe : you also talked with thomas and gaby about their ground rules on their marriage . thomas : will you just let it go ? phoebe : what are you going to do , thomas ? break my arm ? taylor : phoebe . phoebe : i just want you to know what 's going on around here . you and gaby may be married , but that does n't mean you can sleep together . taylor : they 're not . phoebe : then why did i find this outside thomas ' room last night ? [ scene_break ] bridget : i know that mom and nick were just talking . eric : about the situation ? bridget : yeah , about the fact that i betrayed nick because i lied about the abortion . and i know mom 's hurt and disappointed , too . eric : yes , but you were n't out to hurt anybody . they both understand that . bridget : but i did . and just because they hurt me , two wrongs do n't make a right . and i do n't expect immediate forgiveness , but how many times do i have to walk in that house and find them alone together ? eric : bridget , your mother is one of the few people who knows what you did . it 's only natural that nick would turn to her . bridget : so you do n't think i have anything to worry about , is that what you 're saying ? i know that nick has n't fully forgiven me and i understand that . eric : honey , if he loves you , he 'll forgive you . bridget : i just want us to be happy . i want this baby to know -- i want to know for this baby that a mother and a father will always be there for them . eric : you should settle for nothing less . bridget : and i wo n't ! i 'm not going to . nick and mom have assured me that nothing is going on . and i 'm choosing to believe them . i do n't want to be naive , though . dad , will you talk to me ? why do i feel like you 're hiding something from me ?

you 've `` complicated things `` ? steffy moved out because of you . my wife is no longer living in our home because of you . quinn : and i feel terrible about that , but ... do n't you think she 's being a little overly dramatic ? wyatt : oh , my -- you ca n't just dismiss her feelings like that . quinn : you ca n't dismiss mine , either ! wyatt : oh , come on ! quinn : wyatt , look at me ! i 'm glowing ! for the very first time in my life , i 'm feeling joy ! wyatt : and i have never been more miserable . quinn : i finally found a man who believes in me . a wonderful man who 's given my career a second chance , who 's given my entire life a second chance . and i have helped reinvigorate him , as well . i 've given him much - needed attention and support . wyatt . eric and i are really , really good together . and i never wanted this to happen at your expense . wyatt : i want you to be happy , mom . but not like this . not eric . anyone else but eric . please . come on . quinn : i ca n't . i ca n't just undo this . there are undeniable feelings there , just like you have with steffy . wyatt : oh , you mean until you kind of screwed things up for us . quinn : are you two at least still talking ? wyatt : uh , yeah . i mean , we talk , we text . i -- i see her every once in a while . i just -- the longer that she is away from home , the more distance there is between us . quinn : you ca n't let that happen . you have to do everything you can to save your marriage . wyatt : mom , i am trying ! she 's my wife . i do n't want to lose her ! but then you -- you just -- you do n't want to leave . you just keep -- you 're adamant about sticking around . and then liam -- i mean , he 's trying to edge his way in every way he can , and he just -- quinn : okay , listen to me . you are not going to lose steffy . do you hear me ? wyatt . we are not going to let that happen . ivy : you and wyatt have n't been married that long . you 've already moved out ? steffy : it 's complicated . ivy : hmm . must be . steffy : you know , it 's not about wyatt . it 's about quinn . ivy : so this is has nothing to do with liam and your feelings for him ? liam : [ chuckles ] all right , i wo n't -- i wo n't ask what the plan is , but if it means no more quinn , you got my full support . thomas : [ exhales sharply ] just hope it works . liam : yeah , well , it better . quinn can say that she 's done scheming and manipulating , but i do n't believe that , do you ? she 's always up to something . quinn : oh ! just the woman that i was hoping to run into . i have some great news for you . ivy : you talked to uncle eric ? quinn : i did . and i got his approval . welcome back to forrester creations . ivy : [ australian accent ] oh , my god . that 's great ! he said it was all right ? quinn : yes . now , wait . the accent . you got to -- ivy : [ american accent ] oh . right . sorry . i , uh -- i really , really appreciate this , quinn . quinn : i am really looking forward to working with you . ivy : i know ! i 'm excited ! i 'm so lucky to have your support . quinn : well , i 'm gon na be your advocate . i 'm gon na back you . i am . i just -- [ clears throat ] i have to be honest . i need something from you . ivy : my loyalty . quinn : yes . yes . that . i - i do , um ... but i need your help . i need your help saving my son 's marriage . i want you to distract liam . i want you to keep him away from steffy . wyatt : hey . uh , you got a minute ? thomas : sure . wyatt : um , obviously things are a little strained still between steffy and me . thomas : yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's none of my business . wyatt : yeah , but , i mean , you share some of the same concerns that steffy does about my mom . thomas : can you blame me for that ? wyatt : no , i -- i get it . my mother 's a divisive force . she creates drama wherever she goes , and i totally understand why you 're being protective of your sister . thomas : steffy wants nothing to do with quinn . she 's afraid of her . she 's afraid of what she 's done in the past , and she 's afraid of what she 's gon na do in the future . wyatt : i know . i - i 've tried to get through to her , okay ? i - i begged her to quit and to move out of eric 's . but it 's like -- it 's like talking to a brick wall . thomas : as long as she 's living with my grandfather , she 's gon na feel entitled . wyatt : but do n't you think that 's on eric ? he 's a grown man . i ca n't tell him what to do . no one can . he 's the one who brought her back , not me . he gave my mom her job back . thomas : okay . wyatt : okay . so then why do i feel like my marriage is on the line here ? that i 'm paying for it ? thomas : i do n't envy your position , but it 's like i said , man , that 's -- wyatt : yeah , it 's between steffy and me . i get it . i heard you . only we both know that 's not exactly the case here . 'cause there 's a whole other factor with my marriage , and it 's not my mother . it 's liam . [ door opens ] steffy : liam . hi . liam : pam said you were in here . i was actually gon na make up some kind of excuse , like i 'm here on official spencer business , but who am i kidding ? i 'm just here to see you . steffy : you never need an excuse for that . liam : yeah . so ... so , i was looking for you up in the sky lounge , and i - i ran into a guy with an eight - pack ? steffy : oh , really ? was he , like , really , really tall and really , really sweaty ? liam : yeah , yeah , yeah . kind of looked like he 's never had a carb his whole life ? steffy : oh , yeah , must be my brother . liam : thomas ! right . steffy : yes . yes . liam : that 's his name . that 's the guy . yes . um , so ... so , in between reps ... steffy : uh - huh . liam : ... we 're talking , like you do , uh , about this situation with quinn . steffy : [ groans ] yeah . my least - favorite subject . great . liam : yeah . thomas mentioned you guys might have a plan to get her out . steffy : yeah , we 're -- we 're working on something with my father . i do n't -- i do n't want to jinx it , but there 's a chance we wo n't have to deal with quinn much longer . liam : well , that 'd be amazing . steffy : fingers crossed . liam : like i told thomas , i mean , if you need anything , let me know . steffy : thank you . you 've been incredible throughout this whole ordeal . liam : [ laughs ] yeah , well , i just do n't want you to have to deal with her anymore . steffy : [ sighs ] yeah . me , too . well , on top of all the quinn craziness , guess what else is happening . liam : what ? steffy : ivy . she 's back . ivy : are you serious ? you want me to distract liam ? quinn : spend some time with him . keep his thoughts away from steffy . ivy : quinn . quinn : what ? i 'm assuming that you still have feelings for him . ivy : uh , yeah , and i always will ! quinn : then this should be easy for you . and it 'll be good for you . it 'll be good for liam . h - he needs to stop thinking about steffy . ivy : steffy 's the one . she 's the woman that liam wants to be with . quinn : well , he ca n't have her . she 's committed to wyatt . ivy : no , steffy 's not living with wyatt anymore . quinn : that 's because of me . but we are gon na fix that . ivy : how ? i ca n't just snap my fingers and make him forget about steffy . quinn : yeah , well , think about her , then . think about steffy . what is it about her that makes men go wild ? she 's audacious and she 's charming . she 's courageous . she 's a modern woman . you need to be more like that . ivy : so , the whole reason for this makeover was to make me look like steffy . quinn : personally , i think you look fabulous . ivy : not my point , quinn . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt and steffy are married . the only reason that they 're having any sort of problems is because of me . i ca n't blame steffy for being wary , but she never should have walked out on my son . and more importantly , liam should n't be sniffing around . he should be keeping his distance . ivy : that 's where i come in . quinn : liam is lonely . he needs someone to take his mind off of steffy . do n't you want to be that woman ? ivy : [ scoffs ] thomas : so you understand why steffy 's upset , right ? wyatt : yeah , but come on , man . moving out ? leaving our home ? you even got to admit that 's a little uncalled for . thomas : you ca n't get a handle on quinn . steffy 's got no choice but to defend herself in this situation . wyatt : my marriage ca n't end because of my mother , all right ? steffy means way too much to me to let that happen . w - we both want this to work , and it will . as long as liam stays away from my wife . liam : ivy 's in town ? since when ? steffy : i do n't know . a couple days now . liam : i thought she was staying in australia . steffy : i thought so , too . but i guess quinn wants her working back here at the company . liam : wait . quinn ? quinn ? but they hate each other . steffy : yeah . that 's what i thought . liam : well , no , i mean , quinn literally pushed her off of a bridge . i mean , she flipped out on her about breaking up with wyatt , and now they 're -- they 're working together ? steffy : according to ivy . and considering quinn 's relationship with the c.e.o . , i 'm assuming that ivy plans on being a permanent fixture around here . liam : why would ivy do that ? why would she want to be around someone like quinn ? ivy : you want me to win liam back . quinn : turn on the charm . flirt a little . ivy : i mean , i want to , but i do n't think that 's possible . i 'm sorry , quinn , but i ca n't . quinn : you -- no . do n't say `` ca n't . `` you can . and you will . ivy : last time i saw liam , i poured my heart out to him , and he told me he just wanted to be with steffy . quinn : oh , that was like a million years ago . distance makes the heart grow fonder . ivy : uh , nope . not always true . quinn : how do you know if you do n't try ? ivy : maybe i do n't want to risk rejection again . quinn : you 're not going to get rejected . not this time . not with me around . because i 'm here to help you . i am here to guide you and be like a life coach . ivy : [ sighs ] quinn : remember how much i helped you when liam married you during that whole citizenship fiasco ? ivy : yeah , and look how well that turned out . i had my marriage annulled within days . quinn : that 's because you did n't listen to me . liam would have stayed loyal to you if you had just followed my advice , but you did n't . you went rogue , and that 's when everything fell apart . if you do everything i tell you to do this time , he will be yours . liam : well , i guess i better let you get back to work . i did see that stack of files on your desk . steffy : oh , that 10-foot pile over there ? yeah . liam : 9 1/2 . do n't exaggerate . steffy : hey . very funny . liam : hey . why do n't you come over tonight ? steffy : uh , i do n't know if that 's a good idea . liam : not to -- steffy : liam , i do n't -- liam : just to talk . maybe hang out . but -- steffy : hmm . liam : i just want you to know that despite quinn and everything else that 's happened , it 's gon na be okay . and i know things are far from simple right now . it 's confusing ... but there is one thing that i 'm clear about . i still want a life with you . you do n't have to say anything . i 'm not asking for that . i just want you to know that whenever you 're ready ... i 'll be here . ivy : what exactly are you asking me to do with liam ? quinn : steffy is married to my son . quinn : liam needs to respect that , and that 's where you come in . ivy : obviously he 's still hung up on steffy . quinn : it does n't matter . she 's not up for grabs . she belongs to wyatt . and this should n't be that difficult . liam is single . h - he 's vulnerable . ivy : i refuse to hurt him again . i 'm not that kind of person . quinn : nobody 's asking you to hurt him . you still care about him , do n't you ? ivy : yes , i -- i 've never stopped thinking about him . quinn : okay . then get him back . ivy : quinn -- quinn : no , listen . ivy : i do n't know . quinn : steffy is married to my son . did you see her wedding band ? it is a tattooed wedding band . it is not coming off anytime soon . she needs to go back to my son so they can go on with their lives and start the future that they 've been planning . you 're going to make that happen . keep liam away from steffy . | pam is not sure how ivy can come back and be here after all that happened . ivy says it is in her blood , her family , her designing jewelry , it was what she was born to do . pam scrunches her face and says she meant working with quinn . ivy remarks she really is n't that bad . steffy walks in and is surprised to see ivy . ivy says she is a forrester so why should n't she be here ? then steffy realizes that she is here because of quinn in helping her with the jewelry line . wyatt tries to talk to his mother again about moving on and working anywhere but here at fc . she says eric is ceo and he wants her here and in his house so wyatt needs to accept that . he says steffy will not accept her with eric and will not live with him as long as quinn is around . so he is not with his wife because of quinn . no one , not ridge , steffy or thomas wants her here . he is doing everything he can to keep in touch with steffy and not lose her but he is not gaining any headway . he blames quinn for sticking around and then liam worming his way in at every opportunity . she says he will not lose steffy . they will not let that happen . liam finds thomas working out and says he is looking for steffy . he needs to talk to her again about cutting all ties with quinn . thomas knows that means also that steffy will not be returning home to wyatt . liam says he does n't want to hurt wyatt either but he can not cut his mother out of his life and steffy can not be around her so it is an impossible situation . thomas says he can not reveal more now but they have a plan to get quinn out of fc . liam says quinn is always up to something so he is not sure he can believe that but thomas has his support 100 % if the plan gets rid of quinn . steffy tells ivy that she looks different . ivy says yes she is working on americanizing herself with a whole new look and accent . steffy tells her if quinn brought her back do not count on that long as eric made a mistake hiring quinn back and she is on her way out . ivy retorts that she knows quinn is a sore spot for steffy so maybe that is why she is not with wyatt , too bad as they have not been married that long . quinn tells ivy that she spoke with her uncle and eric is happy to welcome her back on board at fc . quinn says she is going to be ivy 's advocate and back her . she needs to be honest . she needs her help in helping to save her son 's marriage . she needs ivy to distract liam and keep him away from steffy . wyatt joins thomas at workout and asks if he has a minute . things are a little strained still between he and steffy . thomas says that is really none of his business . yeah , thomas , then why keep telling liam that you are all for him and steffy to be together . wyatt says he knows his mother causes drama wherever she goes so he gets why thomas is so protective of his sister . he 's talked to quinn over and over about moving out of eric 's but it is like talking to a brick wall . thomas says he knows but as long as she is living with his granddad it is as if she feels she is entitled . wyatt says eric is a grown man so he can not tell him what to do . eric brought quinn back , not him . and now he feels like he is paying for it with his marriage on the line . there is a whole other factor here not just his mom , but liam . liam finds steffy . she tells him he did not have to make up an excuse to come to fc to see her . he laments to her that he just saw thomas and he alluded to the fact that they had a plan to get rid of quinn . steffy says yes but she does not want to jinx it but maybe they wo n't have to deal with her much longer . but besides her craziness she needs to warn him that now ivy is back . he is flabbergasted because quinn and ivy hate each other ever since quinn pushed her off the bridge . he comments to steffy that he 'd like her to come over tonight . he is not going to pressure her but just to hang out . and he would like her to know that he still wants a life with her whenever she is ready to make that decision . |
bill : did you smoke something before you came in here ? do you fully comprehend what you 're asking me to do ? liam : i 'm not asking . bill : this is my business . my company . liam : and if you 're lucky , you 'll get to hold onto it . bill : have you lost your freakin ' mind ? liam : no . you have . over a stupid building . bill : that 's the way things work sometimes , liam . it ai n't always pretty . liam : oh , please . stop , stop , stop , stop . i 'm not gon na let you normalize this . you are dangerous . you can not be trusted . so step down , take a leave of absence , and i 'll take it from here . ridge : liam should n't be afraid of his father . steffy : bill is pretty intimidating . ridge : he 's not intimidating . he 's just an overgrown bully . he wants what he wants . steffy : and liam 's not gon na stand for that much longer . ridge : well , that 's a good thing , right ? steffy : i 'm not sure . nicole : i 'm incredibly proud of you , baby . you 're really coming into your own as a designer -- getting the recognition from ridge and the rest of the family ... zende : it 's an honor . really . you know , i 'm just grateful that i 've been able to get a shot to prove myself . nicole : well , there 's nothing my man ca n't do . zende : damn right . but now the pressure 's on , so ... nicole : and i 'm behind you . the whole family believes in you . i ca n't wait to see what the future brings . rick : you want to send zende and your sister to paris ? maya : you do n't like the idea ? rick : no , it 's -- [ laughs ] i 'm just surprised , that 's all . maya : everyone has been talking about strengthening the international office . with jean - luc leaving , this would be an amazing opportunity for zende to grow as a young designer . rick : but be straight with me , maya . this is n't about helping zende 's career . this is about shipping your sister to europe to keep her away from our daughter . zende : i already have ideas for the spring line . if ridge lets me collaborate , that is . nicole : well , i ca n't imagine why he wouldn't . zende : so ... are you gon na be my main model ? nicole : i 'm your main everything . zende : [ chuckles ] nicole : of course i will get up on that runway for you . anytime . but only -- only for you . zende : good . it 's a great feeling , knowing that everyone has my back around here . come here . [ both laugh ] maya : it 'll be a new and exciting adventure for them . it 's paris ! and , yes , it will create some much - needed distance between nicole and lizzy during this very crucial stage of her development . i love my sister . you want to call it mother 's intuition , fine . but seeing lizzy call nicole `` mommy `` after everything that 's happened was very upsetting . rick : i know . i know . i did n't mean to make you feel bad about it . that -- i think you 're right . this would be a legitimate career move for zende . we just have to run it by ridge first . maya : yeah , of course . of course . rick : there is one other problem . your sister sasha . she 's living and modeling in paris . maya : zende is 100 % committed to nicole . there 's nothing to worry about . you know i want the best for zende and nicole . of course ! truly i do ! i just want the best for us , too , and for lizzy . this is a great opportunity for zende . let 's talk to ridge and see what he thinks . steffy : liam just wants more influence at spencer publications . he wants to use his position to do something good in this world . ridge : well , bill 's not gon na allow any of that . steffy : [ sighs ] you 'd be surprised . bill has a lot to gain by listening to liam . bill : you got a lot of nerve , kid . i can appreciate that . under other circumstances . but you 've overstepped . you crossed the line . the only person taking a leave of absence is you . you 're fired . liam : yeah , you ca n't do that . bill : i just did . get out . liam : i really did n't want it to come to this but ... bill : out ! liam : i will call the police and tell them what you 've done . bill : you do n't have it in you . liam : arson , dad . do you know how many years you get for arson ? steffy : liam wants his dad to be better . he knows that there 's a different side to him . ridge : well , people do n't change , especially people like bill spencer . steffy : [ sighs ] liam 's hoping he can make an impact . i just do n't want him to push his dad too much . bill does n't like to be backed into a corner , and he can be very unforgiving . i just do n't want him to ruin his relationship with his dad . ridge : all right , my advice , tell liam to lower his expectations where his father is concerned . otherwise , he 's gon na walk through life disappointed . steffy : yeah . yeah . maybe you 're right . well , i have to get back to work . i have a conference call . oh ! rick : steffy . we were just coming to speak to you and ridge about something . steffy : oh , whatever it is , i 'm sure my dad can handle it . i have a call . maya : okay . bye . ridge : what 's up ? rick : wanted to run something by you . ridge : okay . maya : we know how well zende 's doing as a designer . rick : and he did such a great job in monaco . ridge : yeah ... maya : well , we were thinking that , you know , europe is invaluable for young designers , especially paris . rick : and i 've been working in international for a long time now , and ... ridge : and -- and what ? rick : and we were thinking it would be great if we sent zende and nicole to paris ! nicole : i can already see our future . zende : oh , you 're a psychic now ? nicole : yes . i am . zende : okay . nicole : you and i are gon na be back here , getting ready for your first full showing . and the audience will be cheering and chanting your name . reporters and buyers from all over the world will be here for you . for your designs . and then , you know , me wearing them , model extraordinaire . zende : [ chuckles ] i would n't have it any other way . nicole : [ gasps , giggles ] liam : i 've always respected you . you know that . bill : [ chuckles ] you got a strange way of showing it , threatening me with jail time . never thought i 'd hear that from my own flesh and blood . liam : so stop . really simple . you just ... stop lying . you know , it 's interesting , i actually went back and i took a look at the code that was used on the spencer summit app . it was pretty weak , pretty easy to access . i tallied the votes . spectra won . now , you said it was a tie . but spectra won fair and square . bill : it was -- it was for charity ! who gives a damn ? liam : it was a dirty little trick , one of many that you 've pulled at that family 's expense , except this last one , this most recent one ... i have no words . only shame . bill : then i guess we 're done here , are n't we ? liam : when is it gon na be enough ? what is it that you want ? you have so much . you have brooke and buildings and cars and homes and billions of dollars , and it 's not enough . what void are you trying to fill ? bill : all right , give me a break , dr . freud . you gon na psychoanalyze me now ? liam : you just take and take and take and take . this is what you do ! you ca n't even let spectra win a charity fashion showdown ! you ca n't even admit that they won . bill : okay ! they won . spectra won the fashion showdown ! whoo ! there ! are you happy ? i do n't want to hide anything from you . in fact , you -- you came up with some good ideas . and maybe we 'll try to implement some of them around here . but i will not be blackmailed . do you hear me ? i will not be blackmailed by my own son ! steffy : okay . okay . we 'll look at the offer and we 'll get back to you . okay . bye - bye . sally . sally : hi , uh , pam said you were in here . is this a good time ? steffy : uh , yeah . yeah , sure . what 's up ? sally : well , i ... i know you 're busy , so i wo n't be long . i , um ... i just wanted to say goodbye . maya : paris is the epicenter of fashion . what better place for zende to hone his craft ? ridge : i love paris , but i thought zende was working out here . what am i missing ? rick : you 're not missing anything . he 's doing a fantastic job . i just thought it 'd be a great addition to the international office if zende went over there . we both know jean - luc -- he announced last week that he 's leaving . zende could stay on if it happens to be the right fit . ridge : and ? maya : and nicole would be a huge asset to our pr department . she could beef up our marketing campaigns . she could be our go - to point person for marketing in europe . rick : what do you think ? ridge : i do n't know , this is all very unexpected . i mean , this is your sister . it 's lizzy 's aunt . maya : she 's more than that . nicole means the world to me . but i really think that this could be a positive change for everyone . ridge : yeah , you know , paris would be a great opportunity . why do n't i see what zende and nicole have to say about it ? steffy : goodbye ? what do you -- what do you mean ? sally : i 'm leaving town . should n't really be too much of a surprise . steffy : wait . where are you gon na go ? sally : i actually have no idea where i 'm gon na end up , but there 's nothing left for me here in los angeles . thomas is in new york , you know , with caroline and his son , and spectra was all but burned to the ground . a terrible accident ... so it 's time for me to figure out what to do with the rest of my life . anyway , um ... i just wanted to apologize and say that i 'm sorry for all of the trouble that i caused you . liam : i 'm not blackmailing you . bill : it 's hard hearing the word out loud , is n't it ? a little too unsavory for you ? are you wrestling with your ethics ? you want to sanitize it ? okay , what would you like to call it ? liam : i do n't think you understand the gravity of this . i could call lieutenant baker right now , and you would be arrested on the spot . bill : you have really thought about this , probably even dreamed about it -- when you could unseat me , stage your little coup . you feel like you 've been ignored around here ? like you have n't been heard enough ? you wanted more philanthropy , i gave it to you . the fashion showdown raised over $ 1 million for the spencer foundation . so you go ahead . threaten me all you want . they ca n't trace that fire back to me anyway . and i only told you because you needed to hear it . i told you because you 're my son and i love you . and i trusted you . was that a mistake ? what more do you want from me , liam ? you want more transparency ? is that it ? okay . i 'll give it to you . i told justin to get someone to set fire to spectra fashions so i could build spencer tower . that 's it ! okay ? are you satisfied ? are you happy now ? can we move on ? i did it ! liam : sure . let 's move on . bill : what are you doing ? liam : i 'm just e - mailing something to myself for safe keeping . bill : you want more transparency ? is that it ? okay . i 'll give it to you . i told justin to get someone to set fire to spectra fashions so i could build spencer tower . that 's it ! are you satisfied ? are you happy now ? liam : no evidence , huh ? gotcha . ridge : and what sally did , stealing our designs , it destroyed a complete collection and it set us back and we were shorthanded , and ... i asked you to step up , and you did , beautifully . zende : i was happy to . thank you for the opportunity . ridge : i talked to you a little bit in that meeting we had earlier about your designs and how great they are . and how they 're new , but they 're still distinctly forrester . and your miles ahead of anyone else your age , and ... i just need you to be careful . you got to think about what 's next . you ca n't stop learning . you always have to keep an open mind . now , there 's an opportunity that 's come up , and i think it might be kind of good for you . zende : okay . what is it ? ridge : how would you and nicole like to move to paris , work at international ? sally : so , i know i 've been nothing but a pain , and there 's no way that i can make it up to you , but i would like to give you a little parting gift . some of my sketches . ones that were n't burned in the fire . i want you to have them . these were supposed to be a new era for spectra , but obviously they 're of no use to me anymore . [ sighs ] you can do whatever you want with them , you know ? but i would like you to take them as a peace offering . steffy : sally , i couldn't . sally : no , i -- i want you to have them , steffy . it 's only fitting . i stole all of your designs , and now ... i want you to have the last of mine . steffy : i honestly do n't know what to say . sally : you do n't have to say anything , steffy . really , i have been nothing but a royal pain in the butt . seriously , in some other world , some lifetime , i think that maybe we could have actually been friends . bill : you recorded our private conversation ? liam : you went too far , dad . this definition you have of a spencer man , the way that you do business , it 's not business . it 's criminal activity , and it stops now . bill : you 're gon na tell me ... you 're going to tell me ... you have absolutely lost your mind if you think for one second that i 'm going to let you get away with this . liam : a young woman comes to l.a. with a dream of making it . she 's got talent , she 's got vision ... bill : oh , for god 's sake . liam : ... she 's got the drive to become a fashion designer , and you -- you take all of that away from her , and you think that 's what being a man looks like ? bill : what is it with you ? does it make you feel strong , defending sally spectra ? oh , wait a minute . [ laughs ] i see it . you have a thing for her ! liam : okay . all right . you know something ? i thought that somewhere deep down in there , there would be some compassion . there 's not even a speck of it , is there ? you do n't even know what that looks like , do you ? and it 's evident in your business practices . the low wages , the meager health benefits , the fear and intimidation practices . you have put this company and our family -- our family , you , me , wyatt , will -- in jeopardy . unh - unh . you will step down , and you will take not only a leave of absence but a long , hard look at yourself , as long as it takes . until then , i 'm c.e.o . bill : the hell you are . liam : you 're gon na have a memo on my desk tomorrow morning announcing that you are stepping down effective immediately . bill : on your desk ? liam : yeah , my desk , because this is my office now . i will protect the spencer name ! i will preserve whatever dignity this company has left ! it 's time for new leadership , and that 's me . bill : boy ... you have lost your mind . liam : 9 : 00 a.m . tomorrow morning . not 9 : 01 . 9 : 00 . or i call the police . you get me ? tomorrow , i become the new c.e.o . of spencer publications . . . | bill asks liam if he smoked something before he came in here . this is his business . liam says he can not be trusted so bill can just step down and he will take it from here . nicole tells zende she is really impressed by his accomplishments and the whole family believes in him . and she can be his main model . rick tells maya that he is not against it , but surprised that she wants to ship her sister away to paris to work to keep her away from lizzy . he knows it has nothing to do with zende getting the job there . she says call it mother 's intuition but yes it bothers her when she hears lizzy call nicole mama . rick says there is one little problem . sasha is in paris modeling . maya says no problem as now zende is 100 % committed to nicole . she hopes he will tell ridge and see what he thinks . bill tells liam that the only person taking a leave of absence is liam as he is fired . liam retorts that he would not do that as he could go to the police . bill should know how many years he will get for arson . steffy tells ridge that liam can be pushed into a corner and be very unforgiving but she does not want him to sever ties with his father . she leaves just as maya and rick walk in so they talk to ridge . they propose it would be a good thing to send zende and nicole to paris where they are needed now . ridge says he loves paris himself but he thought it was working out for zende here . he 'll have to talk to zende and nicole and see how they feel about this . |
brooke : does hope even have a chance ? ridge : of course . her line is important . brooke : you 're not answering my question . is forrester gon na focus on hope for the future or on intimates ? what do you think ? ridge : we 're gon na focus on couture . that 's what we 've always done . we 're gon na keep doing that . brooke : you know what i 'm asking . what have you decided ? are you gon na side with hope or with steffy ? hope : you ca n't seriously be asking me this . steffy : why not ? hope : just cast aside my line ? do you know how hard i 've worked on this , and what it means to me ? steffy : are you saying i have n't ? hope : no , of -- of course you have . both of our lines deserve to be invested in . steffy : yeah . and my father has every right to be concerned about how we 're spreading our resources . a change needs to be made . and common sense would be to focus on the more profitable line . hope : look , hope for the future may not bring in as much revenue as intimates once did , but it 's not doing poorly , by any means . it only just launched . and there 's no guarantee that intimates will be as popular as it once was . steffy : it will . hope : okay , well , then , there 's another major concern . and as co - c.e.o . and a major stockholder , i think you 'd understand . steffy : okay . meaning what ? hope : i 'm cultivating new buyers for forrester . and this generation is socially - minded . you know , we 're -- we 're really working on building lifetime clients with our styling and our messaging . what message is there in lingerie ? honestly , steffy . tell me , which one of us should scale back on her line ? zoe : so it 's true ? a line is getting cut ? sally : you heard that , too ? zoe : yeah , well , all the models are talking about it . sally : i do n't know anything about getting cut . i heard pam say `` scaled back . `` she does n't exactly lower her voice whenever she 's gossiping . zoe : hm . well , fingers crossed for lingerie winning out . you know , no offense to hope , but i did only just get hired as an intimates model , and i 'm not too keen on losing my job . wyatt : what 's this ? what , uh -- what 's going on ? zoe : budget cuts or something . wyatt : at forrester ? and they 're firing the models ? sally : it seems like they are downgrading a line , almost . couture models are safe , but ridge is deciding whether or not intimates or hope for the future gets budget allocations . wyatt : wait . hold -- hold on a second . so ... ridge has to choose between steffy and hope ? oh . wyatt : uh , this is not good . zoe : ugh . i know , right ? i mean , i 'm just getting my foot in the door , and there 's already rumors that my line might be getting eliminated ? sally : okay , first of all , it is not your line . it 's steffy 's . wyatt : mm . mm - hmm . sally : and , second , look , models get traded from line to line all the time . just because you got hired for lingerie does not mean they wo n't find a spot for you at hope for the future . wyatt : right , but why does a choice have to be made ? sally : i am not management . they do n't exactly run things by me . wyatt : yeah , but , i mean , it 's just kind of cruel , though , do n't you think ? steffy and hope finally get to a - a place where they 're getting along , and they 're putting aside their differences for the kids and everything , and then -- and then this happens ? i mean , that 's -- that 's crazy . sally : yeah . i mean , it certainly could set things off between them again . zoe : or not . you know , i do n't know hope all that well , but she does seem like the type to face her reality with grace . sally : okay . yeah . you definitely are dead set on intimates winning out , are n't you ? zoe : well , ridge is steffy 's father , so he almost has to choose her line . right ? wyatt : well , ridge is also married to hope 's mother . and that puts him in a very difficult position . ridge : i 'm not siding with anyone . i 'm -- i 'm trying to do what 's best for the company . and i have n't made a decision yet . brooke : why not ? ridge : why not ? because it 's -- it 's complicated . both these lines have value . brooke : well , maybe that 's your decision . reconsider allocating the funds equally . ridge : we ca n't -- we ca n't do that . you looked at the numbers . we need one line . one strong line . couture is the cornerstone of this company . and i ca n't change it , and i ca n't make it suffer just because i want both my daughters , our daughters , to be happy . and whatever happens , whatever line i choose , it does n't mean that the other line ca n't be in the foreground later on down the line . that 's what makes it complicated . whatever the decision is , one of our kids is gon na be disappointed . steffy : what message does lingerie bring ? if your mom heard you say that ... hope : i would say it in front of her , and proudly . i believe in hope for the future . steffy : so do i . do you see me bashing your line like you are mine ? hope : well , that was n't my intention . steffy : hope , i want your line to have a place in this company . but not right now . you said so yourself -- we need to be focusing on one line . and like it or not , sex sells better than lofty ideals . profits matter . hope : yes , but people matter more . and that is the fundamental difference between our lines . more importantly , it 's the fundamental difference between us . zoe : so , ridge basically has to choose between his daughter and his step- daughter ? wyatt : exactly . sally : both extremely talented . both with successful lines . zoe : well , i still do n't think it will be all that difficult for him to choose . you know , blood should win out . at least , i hope so . for my sake . i mean , even if i 'm allowed to be switching lines , i still was really excited to be modeling lingerie on the runway . sally , i just realized that you 're probably rooting for the opposite . are n't you working on hope for the future ? sally : i am . yeah . but `` back - up plan `` is my middle name . wyatt : should i be worried ? sally : let 's just say that i like to be prepared , okay ? my day job is hope for the future grunt work . but i have been sketching on the side . i 've got some lingerie - design ideas in case steffy asks and the need arises . wyatt : really ? sally : yeah . it 's not my first rodeo . or fashion house , for that matter . brooke : i understand it 's a tough choice . so can i offer some input ? ridge : an unbiased opinion from you ? i would love that . brooke : starting with why i think you should work with intimates . ridge : now i 'm curious . go ahead . brooke : intimates is a continuation of brooke 's bedroom , my brainchild . so of course i 'm very fond of it . of course i would love to see it succeed . and i 've always been very vocal about women showing their sensuality and sexuality . flaunting it , even . those are your mother 's words . but ... as fond as i am about the intimates line , i think that hope for the future can offer something that intimates can't . and that 's for the younger generation to really hang onto something , to believe in something , to fight for something . sure , we can do lingerie . i mean , we can make the best in the world . but guess what ? there are thousands of other companies doing exactly the same thing . so if we take intimates out , then our customers will just go and find undergarments elsewhere . but if you take hope for the future out of the equation , well , then , there 's no replacement . look , i know you 're partial to your daughter , i do . i know you love her . you guys work together , side by side , co - c.e.o.s . but please do n't let that cloud your judgment . whatever decision you make , ridge , it has to be the best for the company steffy : why do you keep doing that ? making these not - so - subtle digs at me ? hope : you asked me to walk away from my line , and i am telling you why i do n't think that is wise . and if you interpret that as a dig , then i -- steffy : i 'm asking you to see the bigger picture . realize that i could use something to sink my teeth into while you 're busy living the life i once had . hope : okay . i 'm confused , because you supported our marriage . you even came to the wedding and gave a -- steffy : i still do . and as much as it hurts me and my daughter , i continue to support your family with liam . all i 'm asking is for a little support in return . hope , you have so much . is it really that difficult to give me this ? my daughter already has to grow up in a home without her father , so it 's really , really important to me to show her what a strong , independent woman can accomplish . do you get that ? do you understand , mother to mother ? hope , i need this . forrester is a lifeline for me . i need this line . i 'm not gon na let you take it away . brooke : she actually said that ? steffy told you to get rid of hope for the future ? what nerve ! honey , do n't listen to her . hope : i ca n't help it . we were finally getting along after years of being at odds , and , you know , we were putting aside our differences for the sake of our children . but now we are fighting again . but this time because of work . brooke : it 's not because of work . hope : mom , this is all happening because ridge asked us to scale back one of our lines . he 's pitting us against one another . if he had n't done that -- brooke : honey , she would have found another way to get to you , another way to retaliate because you ended up with liam and not her . hope : yeah . okay . that about sums it up . brooke : yeah . [ sighs ] i mean , she put on a really good show , pretending to support your marriage when she did n't really . she just did n't want to look like the sore loser . so her hanging onto her line and bullying you to get rid of yours , that all leads back to liam . ridge : what 's the matter ? steffy : nothing , dad . ridge : try not to be upset with me . try to see this from my perspective , please . steffy : no , it 's not you . it 's hope . ridge : what happened ? steffy : she thinks she can have it all , that 's what happened . she has liam . has the marriage . has a baby on the way . and , what , i 'm supposed to just step aside , make way for her ? ridge : she asked you to do that ? steffy : not exactly . it 's kind of the other way around . i asked her to back down . we 'd be able to focus on my line , dad . but do you think she would give me that , after everything i 've done for her ? ridge : well , i 'm not surprised . she cares about her line the same way you do , and they 're both worth fighting for . steffy : one of which has a better profit margin . ridge : historically , yes . steffy : dad , the intimates re - launch , it will exceed expectations . i know it will . i 've tried to explain that to hope . the decision is simple . the numbers speak for themselves . ridge : you know i 'm not gon na cancel one of the lines , right ? steffy : okay . i just thought maybe you 'd be -- ridge : you thought what ? you thought you could go to hope and take the strong stance , and she would just buckle ? this does n't sound like business to me . this sounds personal . steffy : it 's not . ridge : you just said she wants it all . she wants the family . she wants the husband you were supposed to have . and now she wants the clothing line . i think there 's a part of you that wants her to pay . wants her to pay because she ended up with liam . hope : um ... do you have any idea which way ridge is leaning ? brooke : if he 's made a decision , he has n't said anything yet . hope : well , i 'm pretty sure that 's where steffy was heading . to his office . she is co - c.e.o . and his daughter . and she has a tremendous amount of influence on him . [ scoffs ] god , i do n't know . maybe i 'm just naive to think that hope for the future even had a chance . brooke : oh , honey . with me in your corner , you always have a chance . you think that steffy has influence ? nobody has more influence over ridge than i do . wyatt : can i just say how impressed i am with you ? sally : ohh . that good of a kiss , huh ? wyatt : yeah . yeah . and with your resourcefulness . like , even if hope for the future gets cut , like , you 're ready to jump into the intimates . and that 's -- that 's great . sally : yes . i mean , it 's not a sure thing . i 'm definitely not steffy 's favorite person . wyatt : yeah . sally : but , i mean , i figure , if she likes my designs , maybe i 'll be all right . wyatt : right . wyatt : i mean , can i see them ? sally : sure . wyatt : yeah ? sally : yes . having a man 's opinion is n't necessarily a bad thing . wyatt : okay . sally : [ sighs ] wyatt : [ clears throat ] sally , these -- these are -- these are beautiful . sally : yeah ? wyatt : yeah . i do n't know . you know , honestly , i - i ca n't -- i ca n't tell when they 're on paper . like , it 's -- it 's hard to tell . so , like , i kind of have to see them in person . sally : right . wyatt : like , on -- on you . sally : mm - hmm . wyatt : as soon as possible . so ... sally : well , then let 's just hope that steffy approves , because i would love to arrange that for you . wyatt : if she does n't , i 'm gon na be so upset . sally : me too . wyatt : so upset . steffy : it 's not as if i 'm looking to punish hope . i willingly stepped back and encouraged liam to be with her , and i 'm proud of that . i 'm proud that i 'm focusing on my career and my daughter . ridge : you should be proud of that . but it 's not the life you imagined , is it ? steffy : no , dad . ridge : that 's got to hurt . steffy : i mean , when i allow myself to think about it , yeah . ridge : [ sighs ] and beating hope in this ... would make losing liam a little more bearable , would n't it ? steffy : [ sighs ] it 's a side benefit . but it 's not my motivation . and if i were to do it all over again , i would do it exactly the same . listen to me . my line will outperform hope 's , guaranteed . and if there is a list of things to choose from , that is the number - one thing to focus on . ridge : it is . as your co - c.e.o . , i agree . but as your dad , i - i listen to all the other stuff you say , and i 'm worried about you . steffy : okay , how 's this for a reason -- forrester creations has my name on it , not hers . this should be a refuge for me , dad . a place where i can throw myself into my work . a place where i can heal . instead , i come here day after day , to my family 's company , and i see hope and liam . my ex - husband and his new wife . and a new baby on the way . it 's my family 's company , and i am forced to see her family . dad , this needs to be a safe place for me . a place i can just pour my energy into . a place where i can be productive . a place where i can just be human again . i mean , how can i move forward , how can i really do that , if we have to scale back my line ? and then , day after day , i have to see hope and liam together , happily plugging away at hope for the future . ridge : come here . steffy : [ sighs ] it 's -- it 's tough , dad . i 'm -- ridge : i know . i appreciate your honesty . steffy : i 've just lost so much . and hope has liam . she has a new family . i deserve something , right ? i - i deserve something . ridge : are you kidding me ? i 'm your dad . you deserve everything . steffy : [ chuckles ] ridge : but you know it 's not your dad who 's got to make a decision on this , right ? steffy : yeah , i know . i know . ridge : keep in mind , i will always have your back . always . steffy : yeah . ridge : you know that , yes ? steffy : mm - hmm . [ cellphone chimes ] ridge : okay ? steffy : yeah . ridge : business . steffy : mm - hmm . i got to take care of that . you gon na be all right ? steffy : i guess that depends on your decision . ridge : [ sighs ] [ door slams ] brooke : how did i know you would do something like this ? ! steffy : excuse me ? like what ? brooke : playing on your father 's sympathies ! steffy : that 's not what i was doing . brooke : yes , you were . you were in here trying to get him to change his mind . steffy : excuse me , i am co - c.e.o . if i feel like -- brooke : i do n't care if you are co - c.e.o . i do n't care how many shares you own . shares that you got because of some twisted involvement with your baby 's grandfather . shares and titles do n't give you the right to manipulate your own father . steffy : maybe you should have started eavesdropping a little sooner , because my father was -- brooke : i am sick of it , steffy ! i am sick and tired of the way you treat my daughter , the way you interfere with her happiness any chance you get ! well , that is it . it 's not gon na happen again , do you hear me ? never again . . . . . | steffy and hope have a difference of opinion of which of their lines would be more profitable if ridge has to cut back on one . hope says her line is there to gain more clients for the entire future . steffy offers again that profits do matter . ridge disagrees with brooke , of course , and says they will always focus on couture and that means steffy over hope if that is the way she looks at it . he can not change that even if it puts their two daughters at odds and one of them is going to be disappointed . wyatt comes in as sally and zoe are discussing the outcome if models will be excluded in this . he thinks it is rich that ridge has to pick between the two daughters . brooke tells ridge that the bedroom line was her original idea and she would love to see it succeed again but she thinks hftf can offer more . you can give the intimates to hundreds of other companies and they will do well but you can not take hope 's line away without a replacement . steffy tells hope that she took her life away from her and she is raising her daughter alone and her line is now her lifeline and she is not going to let hope take that away . brooke is aghast that steffy would ask hope to let go of her line and hopes she will not listen to her . she is only pretending to support her marriage . she did not want to look like a sore loser but truly it is bothering her . steffy whines to her dad that hope thinks she can have it all liam , a baby on the way and now her line . she asked her to back down but she does not want to give it up . ridge says this is sounding personal and not just about the line . hope ended up with liam and now a baby and he thinks steffy is trying to get back at her . |

bill threatens to reveal quinn 's secret ; hope & liam come to an agreement about their future . liam : [ chuckles ] ivy : liam , i -- liam : too forward ? ivy : no . no , not at all . liam : i guess i wanted to thank you for tonight , and , um ... a kiss seemed appropriate . ivy : well , i , uh -- like i say , i really like your instincts . liam : [ chuckles ] ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : well , we might as well put this to good use . hope : mm . you read my mind . wyatt : well , that 's one of my many skills . hope : [ chuckles ] so , what am i thinking now ? wyatt : um , you want me to put on some music and , uh , dim the lights . hope : you 're good . you 're so smart . wyatt : yeah ! you know ? hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : liam 's gon na be okay . hope : i -- we -- you know , we do n't even have to talk about that , because i 'm not even thinking about it . wyatt : mm - hmm . hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : mind - reader . liam and ivy are swimming around up there . hope : yeah , they 're swimming , all right -- swimming along together in the seine . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you know ... if she had n't have been in paris that day ... hope : hey . i have no regrets . wyatt : i know . i know . it 's just ... she fell , and the course of her life changed , and that 's huge , hope . i mean , it 's got to be affecting you . you do n't have to pretend that it is n't -- not with me . quinn : you 're not telling anyone about this . bill : you pushed ivy into the seine ! quinn : yeah . it was n't hard -- her perched on that little edge and just a little `` err ! bill : with her in the water , you knew that liam would be distracted . quinn : i knew he could n't pass up a good , old - fashioned rescue mission . bill : keep him away from hope . quinn : yeah , so she 'd turn to our son -- her husband . funny how things have a way of working out . bill : so , exactly how much time have you spent in a straitjacket ? because you are completely insane ! quinn : stop calling me that . bill : insane ! quinn : i am a mother . i did what had to be done . and look -- hope and wyatt are married . bill : and how long do you think that 's gon na last when hope finds out what you 've done ? quinn : why should she ? bill : because i 'm gon na tell her -- and liam and wyatt . quinn : hope and wyatt are happy . you 're not going to mess with that . bill : normally , i would n't . i appreciate what wyatt has -- thinks he has . but liam is miserable . quinn : oh . oh . there you go . there you go . playing favorites again . yeah . you 're giving liam everything that he wants while you 're making wyatt beg for the crumb . bill : i 'm gon na give them the truth . what they do with it is up to them . quinn : you 're just jealous . bill : of what ? ! quinn : ha ! [ laughs ] big bad dollar bill tries to break up hope and liam over and over again , but he never succeeds , but me -- one little bump into that forrester girl and i -- i succeed where you never did . bill : i broke up liam and hope plenty of times . quinn : mm - hmm . bill : and i 'm not proud of it . quinn : and why is that ? because -- oh -- they do n't belong together . bill : because i was an interfering , meddling father who could n't keep his trap shut and let his son live his own life . quinn : that 's exactly what i 'm asking you to do -- keep your trap shut . hope : you 're right . when ivy fell , my life changed . but now she 's interested in liam , and that makes the whole thing seem a little ... strange . wyatt : what do you think -- she fell in on purpose ? hope : not really , no . i mean , who would do that ? wyatt : i mean , does it even really matter how she ended up in the river ? no . maybe she jumped . maybe she fell in . but whatever happened , the fact of the matter is liam did n't make it to you in time . so , that does n't give it any reason to look back and wonder about it , especially since you ended up with , like , the most awesome husband in the world . hope : [ chuckles ] you got that right . i sure did . wyatt : mm ! hope : handsome ... wyatt : ooh , yeah . hope : ... very smart ... wyatt : mm . keep going . hope : ... and just so , so good for me . liam : i really did appreciate what you did this evening -- throwing this dinner party . ivy : good . so , you did have a good time . liam : are you kidding ? yes . of course i did . i almost forgot i was in beverly hills . i felt like i was ... [ australian accent ] in the outback . ivy : okay , good . that -- that 's all i wanted . i just -- i wanted you to forget your troubles for a little bit . that 's all i really intended .

quinn : look at them . right there . where everyone can see . steffy is married to my son . she should n't be draped all over liam like that . ivy : those two do n't break easily . trust me , i know . quinn : i know , but ... steffy is committed to wyatt . when they got married , she became his whole world , and she 's disrespecting him . not just him but the vows that they made . you said you would be loyal to me , right ? ivy : i meant it . quinn : okay , well , you owe me . i got you rehired back here at forrester . i - i gave you this hot new look that 's gon na serve you well . ivy : quinn , i do n't know if this fits me . i -- quinn : it 's going to be great . you got to get used to it . in the meantime , you need to help out my son . we need to get steffy to do the right thing , we need to get liam to move on , but most of all , ivy , help yourself out . you still love that man . you can have him back if you want to . you just need to get in there and fight for what you want . [ steffy laughs ] thomas : i 've never seen you like this , man . wyatt : [ scoffs ] how 's that ? thomas : stressed out , anxious , you know ? wyatt : could you blame me ? my wife 's moving out because i ca n't control my mother . thomas : i do n't envy your position at all . wyatt : i mean , it feels like everything that 's important to me is just -- it 's just slipping away , and it does n't matter what i do or how hard i try , i ca n't -- i ca n't just -- i ca n't seem to fix it . thomas : do you want to join me , work out a little bit , get out some of that excess tension that 's going on right there ? wyatt : the only thing that 's good for me is getting steffy back home where she belongs . thomas : i 'm not trying to be a downer , but i know my sister , and it takes her a while to build up to an ultimatum , but once she 's there , she does not back down . wyatt : so , what are you saying ? you 're saying i should go to the courthouse and file divorce papers , is that it ? thomas : quinn 's an issue , wyatt . and it 's not easily resolved since she 's living with my grandfather , which , by the way , nobody likes . quinn is a problem , wyatt , and not just for steffy . for our whole family . quinn : come on , ivy . it 's not like i 'm asking you to do something morally questionable . steffy 's a married woman . she should n't be looking at another man like that . on the other hand , you and liam are single . you can be with whomever you choose , so why not choose to be with each other ? you guys have a history together . look , you 'd be doing wyatt a huge favor . he does n't deserve to be made a fool of , does he ? and he does n't deserve to lose steffy , not because she has a problem with me . he 's a victim . wyatt is steffy 's victim , and you have experience with that , right ? you still love liam ? ivy : [ sighs ] always will . quinn : okay , well , then , get in his face . spend some time with him . remind him of your history together , you know ? you can get him back . you can do it . you just -- you just need to work it a little -- what do you say ? okay . hey , steffy . liam . guess who 's back . liam : ivy . hi . ivy : i do n't look that different . liam : no , i , um -- it 's good to see you . ivy : you , too . liam : how long are you in town ? ivy : uh , indefinitely . i 'm officially back at work , though . liam : oh . congratulations . steffy : yep . it 's all because of quinn . convinced my grandfather to bring ivy back . quinn : yeah . well , i mean , it was n't that hard . eric was more than happy to have her back at forrester , and me , too , you know ? ivy 's gon na be a really big help to me . ivy : well , that 's the plan . [ chuckles ] liam : okay , that right there . i knew something sounded different . what happened to your aussie accent ? ivy : oh , it -- that 's part of the plan , too . i -- i 'm just making some personal changes , trying to reinvent myself . make this time here in l.a. much better than the last one . quinn : you just need to know how to work it . ivy : mm - hmm . thomas : i feel for you , wyatt . it 's got to be tough being stuck between your wife and your mom . wyatt : yeah . thanks , man . thomas : i 'm not insensitive to what you 're going through . i 'm just not sure what i can do because i 'm on the side that gets rid of quinn , but i get it . i get that you 're in a challenging place . wyatt : yeah . i mean , steffy and i were great . our marriage was great . the marriage that my mom wanted so badly , she took liam out of his life to make sure that it happened . but instead of respecting steffy and respecting her wishes , even just giving me , like , a little bit of time to convince steffy to be on board . like , she blatantly goes after eric to get her job back , and now she 's living with the guy . thomas : that 's where i get stuck -- right there . that 's it . you know , that woman went out of her way to get you and steffy together . wyatt : yeah , and then liam -- there 's liam . he 's just sniffing around my wife , and -- i mean , talk about screwed up , man . thomas : well , you ca n't be surprised that liam 's doing that . he 's never given up on steffy . wyatt : yeah , well , he needs to focus on his own life and move on . let go of the thought that steffy 's ever coming back to him because i am her husband , and i am not about to relinquish that title anytime soon . ivy : you , uh -- you seem confused . liam : yeah , well , surprised , in any case , that steffy would agree to speak to quinn privately . ivy : maybe the ice is melting . liam : yeah , i can say with all confidence that is -- that is not happening . look at you . you 're -- wow . you 're back . ivy : yes . i am . liam : and you 're working with quinn . ivy : jewelry design is where i belong . does it bother you ? liam : everything about quinn bothers me . ivy , listen , are you sure you want to be working with her again ? ivy : it 's time i get my rightful place back here at forrester . quinn just comes with the package . liam : yeah , well , she managed that nicely . just -- do me a favor and watch your back , okay ? 'cause quinn 's not exactly trustworthy . ivy : have n't you noticed that i 'm a big girl ? i can look after myself . but thank you . it 's very nice you still have my back . liam : yeah , well -- yeah . i 'm sorry , but i care about you . i know things got a little -- a little weird at the end there , but ... we were close , and i missed you , and ... ivy : uh ... liam : what ? ivy : i - i did n't get that . can you -- can you repeat it ? you ... ? liam : i -- i -- i missed you . steffy : so , you went to bat for ivy . quinn : surprised ? steffy : maybe a little . quinn : she 's a talented designer , she 's easy to work with , she 's a forrester -- why would n't i want her around ? steffy : so , you just go to my grandfather , and like magic , it 's done , huh ? quinn : do you have a problem with ivy being back ? steffy : no . i have a problem with you . but not for long . quinn : what is that supposed to mean ? steffy : you 're not a permanent fixture around here . you 'll be gone soon enough . quinn : i get it . you do n't like me , do n't trust me , have no use for me . you know what ? it 's okay . you just -- you just keep heaping all your animosity on me . it 's fine , i can take it . but it is completely unfair for you to continue punishing wyatt . quinn : i 've made mistakes . steffy : mistakes ? you 've committed crimes . quinn : whatever you want to say about me , whatever you want to accuse me of , i regret all of it . but i 'm trying to make up for it now by being a better person , and it 's working because i 've changed . steffy : people like you do n't change . you evolve . you get better at being wrong . i see you for exactly who you are -- total disregard for people , using people to get what you want , and now you 're targeting my grandfather . enjoy him while you can . quinn : i intend to . because i know how incredibly lucky i am to have him . maybe , just maybe , you can switch your focus . stop dwelling on my past mistakes , stop making wyatt pay for them . you 're married , steffy . `` for better or for worse . `` so go home to your husband . thomas : you know , underneath all the bravado and even behind all of our chaotic history -- wyatt : [ scoffs ] thomas : i feel bad for you . wyatt : thanks , man . thomas : yeah . wyatt : i just do n't -- i got to figure out what to do with my mother . i mean , she -- she 's doing a fantastic job of single - handedly ruining my marriage . thomas : yeah . wyatt : and then there 's liam . i 'd be an idiot to underestimate him 'cause he 's just -- he 's going full - out . every time i see her , he 's there . he 's just -- he 's always around . thomas : hey . hey , hey , hey . steffy would n't cheat on you . that 's it . wyatt : [ scoffs ] i - i know that . i 'm not paranoid . but the longer steffy 's away from home , the more it does n't bode well for the state of my marriage . especially with liam just making it very clear that he wants her back . i mean , there 's millions of women in l.a . millions of 'em ! why ca n't he find one of his own ? ivy : it 's nice knowing you missed me . liam : well , yeah , i mean , we had a lot of fun together . ivy : the best . liam : the best memories i sha n't forget . ivy : yeah , me , either . amsterdam . liam : yeah , like that . ivy : what ? ivy : is that good or bad ? liam : it 's good ! i 'm sorry . it 's good . it 's definitely good . it 's just -- it 's , uh ... it 's different . with the look and the accent , or lack thereof , or -- ivy : like i said , i 'm just -- i 'm just dialing it down , you know . i do n't want to be the long - lost forrester anymore from `` down under . `` liam : [ laughs ] ivy : i 'm just -- i do n't know . i 'm just making changes to kind of reflect my new attitude . liam : your -- which is what ? ivy : to be more assertive -- here in l.a. , my family , getting my job back . you . liam : ivy , i 'm so glad you 're back , and you should n't have left in the first place , by the way . i felt really bad about that . but -- ivy : but there 's steffy . always steffy . liam , she 's married to wyatt . why do you want to interfere with that ? liam : it 's not -- it 's not that simple . ivy : how is it complicated ? liam : uh , quinn , actually . ivy : quinn ? liam : yeah . steffy and wyatt would n't be married if it were n't for her , so ... ivy : do n't you think this all - powerful perception of quinn is a little over- the - top ? liam : ivy , have you -- have you forgotten who quinn is ? you know , quinn , who , like , pushed you off a bridge into the seine ? ivy : kick - started some of the best days of my life ? it 's a bit hard to stay mad at that . liam : [ sighs ] yeah , well , maybe you 'd be more forgiving if she did n't kidnap you . ivy : kidnap ? liam : yeah . oh , yeah . uh , spare you the gory details , but bottom line , she held me hostage in a cabin . ivy : what ? liam : oh , you did n't hear about that . ivy : actually , i do remember steffy saying she was looking for you , but this is when she and wyatt got engaged . liam : yeah , yeah . yeah . that 's 'cause quinn 's plan worked . she kept me away from steffy long enough for wyatt to make his move on her . their entire marriage is based on a false assumption because -- oh , by the way , i did n't mention this -- quinn was texting steffy as me saying that i never wanted to see her again , so ... ivy : i -- [ laughs ] i do n't even know how to respond to that . liam : yeah . well , quinn 's a nutjob , ivy . that 's my point . i mean , she can say that she 's a changed woman . she can say that this great love for eric has turned her into a different person . ivy : do you think she 's using my uncle ? liam : yes , i -- yes , absolutely , she is . steffy told quinn again and again and again -- `` stay away from me and my family . `` what did quinn do ? she went over steffy 's head . which , apparently , that was a good move because she 's back at forrester , she 's living it up in the mansion with eric . i 'm just -- i 'm just saying -- work with quinn if you have to . but do n't turn your back on her , and for god 's sake , do n't trust her . ivy : you 're looking out for me . liam : yeah , i care about you . i always will . uh ... well , it was great seeing you . i got to go . ivy : mm . liam , wait . liam : yeah ? ivy : just -- one more thing . liam : [ laughs ] steffy : i 'm not punishing wyatt . do you think it was easy for me to leave our home ? quinn : i do n't know . you do n't seem to be having a very difficult time with it . steffy : proves how little you know me . quinn : i 'm trying to fix that . steffy : i love wyatt . and that 's why i married him . but your manipulations helped put us on that beach . quinn : and i do n't understand what was so wrong about that . i mean , i understand . i understand that what i did was wrong , but you and wyatt , you 're so good together . you were happy . steffy : oh , my god . you are unbelievable . the end does n't justify the means . you stole a man out of his life . quinn : and i apologized for that . steffy : oh , my god . you know , you have such a twisted way of seeing things , and that 's never gon na change . you 're never gon na change . quinn : yes . yes , i have . if you can just ignore the past and see me for who i am now . steffy : a calculating gold digger who seduced my vulnerable grandfather . quinn : that 's not the way it happened at all , steffy . i wish you would just come to the house and spend some time with me and eric , see who we are as a couple . see how good we are together . i - i 'm good with eric , and eric is so good with me . steffy : no , i wo n't be doing that . quinn : well , maybe you 'll reconsider in time . steffy : i wo n't have to . quinn , ca n't you just be honest ? it 's just us . you do n't have to put an act on for wyatt or my grandfather . just tell me the truth . what you did to liam , using my grandfather . is that -- is that directed at me ? quinn : of course not . why would i even do that ? steffy : because i pushed you out of our lives , i told you to stay away from me and my family . maybe you wanted to get back at me . quinn : steffy . i love you . i want us to be good . i want you and wyatt to be happy with each other . falling in love with your grandfather was n't part of some master plan . it just happened . steffy : fine . well , like i told you before , this is n't gon na be some long - term commitment . yeah , he 's infatuated with you right now , but that 's because he 's lonely and you 're targeting him . so whatever you think this is is really just a miscalculation at your son 's expense . quinn : i understand that you need to believe that . but what eric and i have is real , and it hurts him so much that you wo n't accept us . steffy : then leave . if you love him , and if this is hurting him , then make a sacrifice . take yourself out of the picture . quinn : what if we come up with a compromise , okay ? i will stay away from you and wyatt , 100 % , and you go back to your husband . steffy : throw my grandfather in the mix and you have yourself a deal . that 's my one condition . quinn : i tried doing that before . it did n't work . steffy : well , then try harder . i thought wyatt 's happiness meant everything to you . quinn : it does . steffy : then listen to me . get your bags , move out of my grandfather 's house , leave forrester , and never come back . quinn : that 's an impossible choice . you 're not being fair . steffy : you want to talk to me about being fair ?

liam : on the backs of a lot of people . steffy : and if he does n't ? liam : he goes to prison . steffy : you are so certain that you can do that to him ? liam : [ scoffs ] i do n't want to do that to him , but that 's the point . i 'm banking on it . he 's not gon na let me send him to prison . but all these people have been burned by him , and the only way to stop him is to grab the source of his power -- spencer publications -- and i 'm gon na run this company the way it deserves to be run . steffy : i have never seen this side of you before , liam . liam : yeah , well , neither has he . but he better get used to it . he 's out . i 'm in . finally i have control over him , and i plan on using it . i 'm gon na make some much - needed changes to this company . i 'm gon na take us in a new direction , and there 's nothing my dad can do but sit back and accept it . zende : [ laughs ] we 're really doing this . nicole : it makes my head spin just thinking about it . zende : eiffel tower , walking along the champs - elysées , the history there , romance . nicole : and you are going to learn a lot about fashion . zende : it 's all because of you . i could n't have done it without you . look , i know it 's gon na be hard to leave our family , and especially lizzy , but ... look , i really think that this is gon na be a time in our lives that we 'll never forget . steffy : you say you 're gon na make changes to the company ?

[ scene_break ] caroline : beautiful . i think that we can open with one of these . eric : what does hope say ? rick : hope is partial to this one . it 's young . it 's fresh . eric : perfectly personifies where we want to go with hope for the future . caroline : i think just a few tweaks here and there and hope 's final approval ... rick : we will have a winning fashion show , ladies and gentlemen . caroline : thank you , ladies . eric : thanks . well , a fashion show is always a daunting task , but you two make it look easy . rick : all the kudos go to my beautiful wife . she 's been working full tilt on hope for the future and couture , as well .

[ chuckles ] maya : look , i 'm not saying it hurts that he 's rich and from a prominent family , but i am so much better for him than caroline spencer . carter : caroline forrester . maya : not for much longer , if i have anything to say about it . carter : [ chuckles ] where do you get off acting like you have a chance with rick ? maya : marriages do n't always last . i 'm betting this one does n't , either . carter : because caroline 's not his type , like you are . maya : caroline is a self - centered snob . i , on the other hand -- carter : are a classless gold digger . maya : if anyone is classless , it 's caroline . she was disrespecting me from the beginning . carter : with good reason , as it turns out . look , it 's not going to happen with you and rick . stop embarrassing yourself and stop embarrassing rick by throwing yourself at him . maya : i 'm not throwing myself at rick ... yet . but a girl will do a lot of things for a man she loves . and caroline better not underestimate me , because myrna is still in the game . [ scene_break ] eric : you and ridge are collaborating on couture ? caroline : oh , goodness . no , no , no , no . i just showed him a couple of my sketches . rick : actually , i wanted to show you ridge 's progress , dad . eric : what is this ? rick : well , what you 're looking at is the number of designs that ridge has actually given me . thank you . you see , dad , deadlines have come and gone . it just does n't seem to matter to the guy . eric : we have to respect that ridge has been through a lot lately . rick : and i have given him a ton of slack because of that , but we are seriously in a bind . hope for the future is ready for the runway , but what about couture ?

[ scene_break ] eric : look , son , i know you 're frustrated , and i know why . rick : it 's not just about couture . it 's not just about waiting on ridge . it 's about his constant refusal to respect me as president . eric : i 'll talk to him . rick : no . no , no . do n't do that . he 's just gon na think i ran to you . he 's gon na resent me that much more . eric : well , what do you expect ? rick : you know what i think we should do ? i think we should send him back to paris after he finishes the couture collection , if he ever finishes the couture collection . eric : but you have your doubts ? rick : [ sighs ] dad , i know deep down , you do , too , no matter how hard you try to hide it or defend ridge . in fact , the only tangible thing i 've actually seen him complete is this . eric : this does n't look like his hand at all . this looks like caroline 's hand . rick : it was caroline 's sketch . it was rough . eric : but ridge saw something ? rick : caroline described it as if he was coercing through her , putting his hand on hers and leading her to something . pretty spectacular . eric : well , it is . it is that . rick : you know , i might be biased , but i really think that caroline has a future here with couture . eric : so do i . this has huge potential . rick : good . then it 's gon na make it that much easier to send ridge back to paris . [ scene_break ] ridge : hey . did i pull you away from anything important ? caroline : when the master calls -- well , in this case , texts . actually , i was just with your dad and rick . ridge : really ? just imagine the topic of that conversation . caroline : everyone 's just anxious to see your latest designs . ridge : did you show them our sketch ? caroline : mm - hmm , and i gushed on and on about what it was like collaborating with a design legend for the first time . ridge : rick must have loved that . caroline : no , what he loved was what we created -- not that i did that much . ridge : you did more than you know . but there 's a lot of work to do still , so ... katie : so , that 's my cue . i do n't want to impede positive momentum . ridge : okay . you ready ? caroline : for what ? ridge : well , i enjoyed designing with you , and i thought i 'd give you some more instruction . is there a problem ? [ scene_break ] rick : [ sighs ] maya : all by his lonesome . hmm . my lucky day . rick : what do you think ? maya : if that 's from ridge 's latest couture collection , it 's been worth the wait . rick : would you still feel the same if i told you this was a collaboration between my wife and ridge ? maya : everyone knows that ridge designs solo . rick : she 's in there right now . in fact , she and katie are the only ones allowed in his rarefied inner sanctum . maya : why , when caroline is so far out of ridge 's league ? has he shown her his collection ? rick : no . maya : have you seen it ? has anyone ? do we even know there is one ? ridge is walking right up to the edge on this . and with caroline as a distraction ? what could he possibly be thinking , wasting his time with her ?

eric : [ sighs ] quinn : what are you trying to say ? steffy : i never said my marriage is ending . thomas , i - i hate hurting wyatt , but he 's not the only one that 's hurting . think about what liam 's been through , and it 's all because of quinn -- all that time she stole from him . now she 's doing the same thing to granddad . i 'm not gon na let her do it again . i 'm not gon na let her mess with anyone that i care about anymore . thomas : you may not be able to stop that . steffy : at work , we can . if brooke gets bill 's 12.5 % and then sells it to dad ... it 's all we can think about right now -- just getting quinn out of the company . and after that , it 's only a matter of time before she 's out of our lives . brooke : if eric is starting to lose it a little bit , the last person we want to have influence over him is quinn . ridge : it scares me , logan . brooke : we 'll stop her . before she and eric get too too close . eric : that 's a good question . what am i trying to say ? a lot , actually . i just -- i 'm not certain how . quinn : look at you . so -- so lost in thought . you never have to worry about how you say anything to me . eric : no , i do n't , do i ? very few people have given me the support that you have . only one other . that 's why i 've been thinking about her so much today . raising our family in this house together . quinn : i 'm sure you thought you had many more years together . and now you 're alone , your children are grown , and she 's gone , and ... eric , i - i have been so consumed with my own problems , with wyatt 's marriage and steffy , that i have n't given you the attention that i should have . sorry . i have n't even come close to being the kind of woman that stephanie was for you . i 'm sure she would have done a much better job acknowledging the sacrifices that you 've made to be with me . facing all that hate and anger . eric : no less than what you 've had to face . quinn : [ scoffs ] i 'm used to it . i 've dealt with that most of my life , b - but you -- this is your family . you know ... this was just supposed to be a flirtation , a connection . you know , something -- something fun . i - i looked forward to seeing you so much , and -- you were so wonderful . you changed me . and i almost started to think that ... but , you know , i , um ... i never wanted to complicate your life . things have a way of spiraling out of control when -- when i 'm around , and , um , i just -- i never wanted that for you . so i think it 's best that maybe i , um ... eric : um , look , uh , you need to stop . quinn : no , i need you to hear me . eric : no , stop right now . quinn : i need to tell -- eric : i mean it . you said something to me about ... that i 'm alone . but i 'm not . that 's why i 've been thinking about her so much lately . since she died , i 've ... i 've been feeling very alone . but i 'm not anymore . i have you . thomas : and what if quinn does move out , leaves granddad 's house , and never looks back ? what happens to you ? you told quinn that you 'd move back in with wyatt . steffy : yeah , thomas , it 's exactly what i would do . thomas : unless liam convinces you otherwise . steffy : do n't . please . like , you do n't have to go -- thomas : you 're in love with two guys , stef . steffy : [ sighs ] you 're right . i am . i could easily spend the rest of my life with either one of them . look , i do n't know what 's gon na happen -- whether i 'm gon na end up with liam or if i 'm gon na end up with -- with wyatt . but all i can really focus on is just getting quinn out of our lives . and once we 're able to do that , then i 'll be able to figure it all out , okay ? brooke : soon you 'll have enough majority control in forrester , you 'll override eric 's decisions , and you 'll get rid of quinn . ridge : yeah . and all you have to do is marry bill . brooke : do n't say it like that . ridge : what ? i do n't have to pretend that i 'm happy about it . i 'm not . i 'm grateful . i 'm grateful that quinn 's gon na be out of the company and out of my dad 's life , but i hate what you have to sacrifice . brooke : i 'm not going to sacrifice . i want to marry bill . ridge : mm , maybe you do . well , hey , even if you marry the guy ... you 'll always be my logan . quinn : you do have me , eric . but at what cost ? your family is spewing hatred , and i can see how it affects you . eric : our relationship 's got a lot of trouble . caused a lot of trouble . a lot of unnecessary turmoil . not just in my family . in your family , too . look at your poor son . steffy 's separating from him in protest to the two of us . it 's all because of the uncertainty this provides . what if we get rid of the uncertainty ? the speculation about what 's gon na happen ? maybe then there would be some acceptance . quinn : acceptance ? eric : yeah . steffy go back to wyatt , ridge and all the rest of them would accept what we 've found together . quinn : i do n't understand . eric : well , they would just have to accept -- they would have to accept that you 're part of my life . quinn : they would have to if what ? eric : they 'd have to accept it because ... we could make it permanent . we could make it official . quinn : i - i thought you were ending things with me . eric : what ? no ! no , no ! not at all . is what you want ? quinn : no ! no , i do n't want that at all ! eric : well , i do n't , either ! i do n't , either . quinn : [ chuckles ] eric : i love you , quinn . i love you . you 've inspired me . it 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me in my life . i want my family to understand that . i want them to stop being afraid of this . and i think i know how . quinn : [ gasps ] eric . eric : i 'm a very impulsive person , all right ? i always have been . this is why i 'm so good at what i do . i can look at a design , and i know when it 's right . my instincts call out to me . they tell me exactly what 's going on . my instincts are screaming at me right now , and they have since we 've been together . i do n't want to let this go . i do n't want to let you go . i never will . i do n't want you to leave this house . i do n't want to leave my side . or my bed . marry me . quinn : i do n't know what to say . eric : yes ! quinn : yes ! yes ! yes ! i will marry you , eric . i would be so honored to be your wife ! eric : give me this . here . here . oh , look at this . quinn : [ gasps ] [ sighs ] [ thud ] [ glass shatters ] quinn : [ gasps ] [ laughs ] eric : oh , good , good , good . quinn : [ laughs ] | steffy tells quinn that she knows what lengths quinn went to in getting her and wyatt together . now the only hope of that is for quinn to move out of eric 's . eric talks to stephanie 's portrait over the mantle . he says he was just roaming around in this big house thinking of the kids at birthday parties and barbeques , and then it was just him sipping his coffee . but now there is a woman in his life . he is assuming stephanie does n't approve . the family thinks he is a fool . they are embarrassed and think this is stupid . he wants to know what she thinks about quinn . he sits at the piano and says they had good music together and he remembers their wedding day and some wonderful times . he tears up and gives a cheer with his martini to stephanie . quinn says she can not give up eric and steffy says then she can not go home to wyatt a divorce will be on quinn . brooke tells ridge that just because he does not agree with what eric is doing does not mean he has dementia . ridge says true but they can not rule it out . this is not just about an older man with a younger woman . |

[ indistinct conversations ] shauna : i 've got ta get you out of here , and i am doing everything i can , but i just do n't have a lot of resources . flo : i know . it 's okay . shauna : no , it 's not . how could you even say that ? flo : because i 'm getting what i deserve . shauna : buckingham deserves jail , not you . flo : mom , we -- we both have a price to pay . and we 're not the only ones . thomas does , too . i hope that he goes right to prison as soon as he gets out of that hospital .

[ scene_break ] alex : thanks for coming in . [ telephone rings ] ridge : of course . nothing like a nice midday interrogation , huh ? alex : yeah , well , i 'm sorry about the room . wanted to keep this private . ridge : yeah . so i assume this is about thomas . alex : he has made some pretty interesting choices lately . ridge : he 's made mistakes , yes . but he did n't break the law . so i 'd love if you could leave me , my son , and my family alone . [ scene_break ] thomas : you wan na give me hell , go for it . i wo n't stop you . but can i say one thing first ? steffy : no , no , i do n't wan na hear your apologies or your excuses . thomas : neither . i wan na say thank you ... for coming . i really did n't think you would . steffy : you almost died , thomas . i was horrified when i heard you fell . but i could n't come until i knew you were okay , until i knew you were strong enough . thomas : strong enough ? steffy : to handle what i 'm about to say ... every scathing word . [ scene_break ] alex : i appreciate your assessment of what 's been going on . i hope you can understand that i ca n't just take your word for it . ridge : he messed up . made mistakes . but he 's working through it with his family . he did n't break the law . alex : yeah , well , i hope that 's true . ridge : it is true . alex : no , i really do . i hope that 's true . because in the matter of emma barber 's death , um ... we 've decided to close that case . ridge : what ? alex : well , we searched thomas ' car , did a thorough investigation of the crash scene . apparently , there 's not enough evidence to support foul play . i mean , the girl was texting . that 's ultimately what killed her , regardless if thomas was driving nearby or not . i 've decided ... not to waste any more time on the matter . ridge : that 's great news . so why did you wan na see me ? alex : because of flo fulton . ridge : well , the only thing i wan na hear about her is that she 's getting the maximum sentence possible . alex : well , that 's why i called you in . they 're talking about dropping all charges against flo fulton . she may even be released today .

[ scene_break ] thomas : you 're angry , and you have every right to be , but , please , just let me explain . steffy : what part of `` no excuses , no apologies `` do you not understand ? thomas : i want you to hear what i went through . steffy : oh , i heard . thomas : no , why i did what i did . steffy : because you 're obsessed with hope . thomas : i love hope , and i 've loved her for years . steffy : i do n't think you 've ever been in love . you could n't have been if you thought that this was it . thomas : this is n't just about me , steffy . this is about douglas , giving him a mother . his little heart was broken after caroline died , and i did n't know what to do , okay ? but i tried to fix it . and i tried to fix your family , too . i sent liam back over there to be with you and kelly and phoebe . steffy : it 's not phoebe . it 's beth ! her name is beth . and you should have told me right when you found out . thomas : i did . do n't you remember ? i came right to your house . i said i had something important to tell you . i had just found out . i was shocked . it was wrong to stay silent , but i -- steffy : it was more than wrong . it was sick . you 're sick ! thomas : 'cause i wanted my sister to be happy ? that 's why i did this . i saw you there , on the couch with liam . you were being parents to those two little girls . you were bonding . you were giving them love , creating this amazing family . i could n't take that away . steffy , we both know what it 's like to lose a sister . okay ? and you gave kelly her very own phoebe . i could n't be the one to take that away from her . so ... i stayed silent , and it was wrong , and i never should have done it . but , stef , say you understand . say you forgive me . [ scene_break ] ridge : released ? what are you talking about ? alex : flo has been extremely cooperative . her testimony will help our case against reese buckingham . after all , he is the one that actually stole the child . he 's the one that we wan na see serve time . ridge : i want both of them to serve time . alex : well , ideally , yes , but there 's more at play here . there 's an ongoing investigation into forged medical documents . they 're considering offering her immunity in exchange for -- ridge : immunity ? are you kidding me ? alex : they 're talking about making her a deal . ridge : [ scoffs ] alex : i asked if i could talk with you first , see if you wanted to speak on behalf of -- ridge : oh , why talk to me ? now i have a say in this matter ? alex : look , i know you 've been through hell . you know , if you wan na fight this , then i 'm sure your opinion will be taken into consideration . ridge : yeah , i wan na fight this . do you remember what that woman did to my family , to steffy , to hope , to liam , to that poor baby ? there is n't a member of my family that does n't wan na fight this . answer 's no . alex : including thomas ? he 'd wan na see this go to trial ? ridge : why would n't he ? alex : mr. forrester , your family 's been in the tabloids enough as it is lately . if flo goes to trial , they 're gon na dig up everything . she 's gon na have no problem telling the court exactly what thomas did . that includes her version of what happened to emma barber . ridge : well , that case is closed , right ? so that 's just hearsay . alex : okay . so you have no problem airing this dirty laundry , drumming up more interest in emma barber 's death . i 'll let the powers that be know that the forrester family objects to any kind of deal . look , i just wanted to let you know that there are options , ways to make this less messy for your son . ridge : okay , wait . you think that this could actually be good for thomas , letting flo walk out of here ? [ scene_break ] shauna : i feel so helpless . flo : hey , mom . you being here every single day helps more than you can ever know . [ door buzzes in distance ] shauna : but i should be doing more , you know , maybe hiring some fancy pants lawyer or -- flo : mom , no ... uh ... the court - appointed attorney will be just fine . it 's not like i 'm denying any charges . look , mom , i 'm -- i 'm not gon na let you go into debt hiring some overpriced lawyer . i 'm probably gon na be here for a long time , for years . it 's just ... it 's something i 'm gon na have to accept . we both do . [ scene_break ] thomas : i do n't deserve your forgiveness . but i 'm asking anyway , as your brother . steffy : as my brother ? what kind of brother would do something like -- thomas : i would do anything for you . you know that . i saw your future , and it was a family with liam . steffy : what is wrong with you ? ! what is wrong with you ? ! hope and liam are going through hell ! god , they were in so much pain , and you had the power to take that pain away if you only showed hope how much you cared about her ! but you do n't care about her . otherwise , you would n't have kept her from her daughter . and , thomas , you had a chance to give her back , but you just continued this lie for months ! as twisted as dr. buckingham was , at least he was protecting his child . i mean , you ... you used your son . you manipulated his feelings for hope , his grief for caroline . like , how could you do something like this ? you 're his father . you were dangling douglas like bait . thomas : he needed a mother . and i saw an opportunity to give him one , a woman i 'd admired for years . you could say it 's manipulation , but i did n't see it that way . steffy : the woman who already had a child . thomas : we all thought beth was dead . steffy : until you did n't ! until you did n't ! and you just continued with this lie . you let me raise a baby who was stolen .

[ door buzzes ] flo : mom . shauna : i 'm not . it kills me that you 're in here . i mean , if you wan na pay for what you did , that 's fine . but there 's other ways of doing it besides sitting in a cell . what about community service ? flo : i just do n't see that happening , mom . shauna : i 'll make it happen . i do n't know how , but i 'll find some way to get you out of here . [ scene_break ] ridge : so you think that if flo walked out , you could protect my son ? alex : well , why put it out there for the tabloids ? try him in the court of public opinion . in that sense , yes , it very much protects your son .

[ voice breaking ] ... and why her daddy is n't there anymore . [ sniffles ] it was starting to feel like a family again , the four of us . thomas : that pain in your voice ? that 's what i was trying to protect you from . steffy : prolonging the lie just made it a thousand times worse . you betrayed me . you encouraged me to believe in the family i was creating . i do n't know how anyone could do that . but especially you . you understood what i wanted to give kelly . it makes it all the more disgusting ... ... letting me believe your lie . i 'm glad i came . i 'm glad i got to look in those lying eyes of yours , because i do n't know the next time . thomas : what ? steffy : you crossed a line , thomas ... one you ca n't come back from . so i need to protect myself and my daughter . thomas : [ voice breaking ] from me ? steffy : yeah . i do n't even know if i could ever be in the same room as you again . but i 'll survive this . we all will . hope , liam , and our beautiful girls will move on . we 'll move on without you . | crying , thomas hugs his dad and thanks him for not giving up on him . ridge says he will always be there for him . detective sanchez calls and says he would like to see him in person . he wants him to come to the jail . ridge then tells thomas that he messed up and he will have to pay the consequences but it wo n't be in jail . he promises him that . minutes later the next face that thomas sees is steffy . he opens his eyes and she says to keep his mouth shut and listen to what he did to his sister . thomas does try to speak but she says she is not interested in any of his excuses . he does anyway and says he was not obsessed with hope . he was in love with her for years and he then wanted a mother for douglas . and it helped that he could send liam back to steffy , kelly and phoebe . she rails at him that was not phoebe . it is beth . and he should have told her right away when he knew . she has plenty to say but in the end she says he does not love hope . and he danced his son in front of her for bait . as hurt as she is now , she is an adult and will get over this but she will never forgive him for what he did to the two girls . they are so confused . shauna visits flo and they go over the same old excuses . it was dr. buckingham that belongs in jail , not flo . and flo hopes thomas will go straight to jail when he is out of the hospital . shauna assures her again that she will never stop trying to get her out of here , even if it means she does community service , whatever . ridge meets the detective and tells him that his son messed up but he broke no law so he 'd appreciate it if he would leave his family alone . the detective says he may be happy to know that he has looked into the matter more and determined that emma was texting and driving too fast and that would have been even if thomas was on the road and following her or not , so he is not going to waste any more time on that . |

you do n't know the first thing what that little boy needs ! deacon : what he needs is to know you 're okay . he needs you to stop this , okay ? brooke : what are you doing here ? macy : i was just leaving , brooke . brooke : not until you tell me what you 're doing in my house . macy : deacon and i were coming by to pick up his son . brooke : i know , rick told me . you got custody . you must be very proud of yourselves . but if you even think of pulling a stunt like that with hope -- macy : i 'm not the one pulling the stunts . brooke : you said you were leaving , macy . where 's little eric ? macy : you know , that 's a good question . because your crazy daughter - in - law kidnapped him . brooke : excuse me ? macy : amber took him . brooke : where 's rick ? macy : he 's upstairs . brooke : and who 's looking for amber ? macy : deacon . along the police . brooke : the police ? macy : amber committed a crime . brooke : the only crime here is that somebody let you and deacon take that boy from his home . macy : you know , that 's the problem with you forresters . you 're so used to getting you what you want , you start to feel entitled . but not this time . because this time the judge ruled in our favor , and i 'm sure he 's not gon na have any problem doing that again , once he finds out what amber did . brooke : and i 'll bet you ca n't wait to tell him , can you ? macy : because we 're worried about eric . brooke : you 're not too worried to gloat . macy : i 'm not gloating . brooke : why not ? is n't that what you always wanted ? triumph ? oh no , wait -- i 'm sorry . you wanted justice . it 's ironic , really . after all your talk about what goes around comes around . while you 're reveling in my family 's misfortune , your mother 's lying in a hospital bed somewhere . bridget : rick ? rick : is she gone ? bridget : yeah . rick : eric was supposed to grow up in this room . bridget : rick , i 'm sure he 's okay . amber would n't let anything happen to him . rick : she kidnapped him . bridget : she panicked . rick : she blew it . the judge said that we could see eric every other weekend . and now deacon 's probably not going to let us see him ever again . deacon : amber ? amber , listen to me , please . just think about the boy . amber : that 's all i 'm thinking about . deacon : he does n't understand this . amber : yeah , you 're right . you 're right . he wo n't . he wo n't understand why he ca n't live with mommy and daddy . he wo n't -- he wo n't understand why a judge let you take him away . do you have any idea how this is gon na affect him ? huh ? deacon : i promise , we can talk about this , okay ? we can talk about it back in l.a . lt . baker : look , amber , your son should be home in bed . amber : he 's not going to be home , lieutenant . he 's going to be with deacon . deacon : we 're gon na treat him fine . amber : you know , i promised him . i promised him i would never make him go anywhere he did n't wan na go . deacon : amber , he likes our place . amber : he -- deacon : stop it , amber -- please ! amber : he did n't wan na go there today ! deacon : amber , this is crazy . stop it ! do you see -- do you see yourself ? do you see us ? please , this ca n't be good for him . amber : oh , yeah . you 're one to talk . you 're one to talk . you just come into his life . you come into his life -- you just flip everything upside - down . you come in as the prodigal parent and -- and -- stay away ! stay away ! you came in , and you flipped his entire life upside - down . everything ! you ripped him away from his home and his family -- how is that gon na affect him ? deacon : listen , we 'll work through this together . amber : he 's -- he 's gon na think we abandoned him . deacon : we did n't abandon him . amber , kids go through this custody stuff all the time . amber : that does n't make it right . you know how it feels . i know how it feels . and what you and macy did , it completely -- deacon : we were just defending ourselves . amber : you stole him from me ! deacon : no ! no , amber . no , we did n't steal him . you did . not me . not macy . you did it . amber : yeah , and i 'm the one who 's gon na pay for it , right ? right ? you 're just -- you 're gon na go back to the judge , and you 're gon na make sure i never get near eric again . is that what you 're plan is ? huh ? macy : my mother is in the hospital ? brooke : she collapsed during a business meeting . macy : oh , my god . brooke : she was on the way to the door , and she just keeled right over . it looked like a heart attack . macy : oh my god -- why did n't you tell me ? i have got ta go to her . brooke : it 's too late , macy . she 's gone . macy : she 's gone ? brooke : home . she faked the whole thing . macy : i -- i do n't understand . brooke : well , apparently , she thought that if she caused a diversion , she could stop ridge and me from taking over her company . but it did n't work . macy : taking over spectra ? brooke : well , it 's not gon na be called spectra anymore . ridge wants the name to reflect the new vision . it 'll be logan designs . kind of catchy , do n't you think ? macy : you ? you and ridge ? brooke : yes , and i have to thank you for that . because if it were n't for you and deacon forcing me out of forrester , i never would have had this incredible opportunity . macy : oh , you bitch ! you took over my mother 's company ? brooke : well , no , not really . it was kind of a pre - wedding present from ridge . macy : my mother put her life into that company . spectra fashions means everything to her . and you just took it away ? brooke : and little eric means everything to rick and amber . that did n't stop you from taking him away from them . little eric : where 's mommy ? johnson : well , she 's talking to your daddy and officer baker . little eric : i wan na go home . deacon : there 's no plan , amber . amber : you 're not going to use this against me ? deacon : amber , i do n't wan na hurt you . amber , please -- amber : you called the cops . lt . baker : you abducted his son . amber : no ! deacon was gon na take him away from me . deacon : yeah , but the judge gave you visitation rights . amber : no , he gave me four days a month ! he just -- he gave me four days . that 's not enough . i -- i am his mother . i am . i raised him since he was an itty - bitty little baby . and becky -- she wanted me to . that 's why -- that 's why she made the videotape , and -- and that 's why , because she -- because she trusted me . deacon : amber , what do you think becky would say if she could see you now , like this ? what do you think she would say , if she could see her baby in the back of a police car ? amber : no , no , no . it -- it was n't supposed to be like this . deacon : amber , you are so lucky that this was n't a hell of a lot worse . amber : i would 've never done anything to hurt eric . no ! because i love him ! deacon : i know you do . i know . and he loves you too . he loves you so much . and you and rick -- you guys have done -- you 've done a hell of a job , amber . and you know , i 'm the first one to admit that , right ?

( door slams ) bridget : ( sighs ) | bridget wonders what else does she have that katie can take ? she sees no reason to keep talking about this though katie needs to . maybe bridget is to blame for pushing them together so much , just to give katie a little happiness . and she will not raise this child should something happen to katie . she is through being taken advantage of , it will never ever happen again . taylor agonizes that jack cries so much and she is sleep deprived . rick volunteers to take over for just a bit to allow her some rest . brooke does n't need nick 's apology , it is bridget and katie that deserve that . she drops by taylor 's to speak with rick . she is worried that nick 's actions may affect his marriage to bridget and ultimately her relationship with little jack . taylor gets defensive and assures her that jack is okay . he 's getting all the love and attention he needs . rick confides in brooke that they are having some problems with jack crying and not sleeping enough , but they are working it out . even seeing jack does not relieve brooke 's concern . |

liam : every day that passes , we 're one step closer . hope : hmm . you sure you still want to marry me ? liam : indeed , i am . hope : oh . [ laughs ] liam : you sure you still want to marry me and not my brother ? hope : oh ! liam : kidding . i 'm totally kidding . hope : god , liam ! i chose wyatt 's company because his mom 's designs are exactly what i can collaborate with to sell my clothing . it 's all about hope for the future . liam : it is . it is . does wyatt know that ? hope : it 's not about wyatt . what do you believe ? liam : me ? uh , i was perfectly happy with my newfound half - brother out of our lives forever . but apparently ... he 's back . [ computer keys clacking ] [ knock on door ] brooke : hi , wyatt . jessica sent me up . oh . wow . these are beautiful designs . your mother made these ? wyatt : yep . brooke : [ sighs ] is she around ? wyatt : nope . but something tells me you did n't come to see her . brooke : i know you heard katie 's side of the story . i wanted to tell you mine . i want to help you understand everything that went on between your father and me and katie . katie : also i 'd like you to stay late tonight . i need to go over those quarterly reports . okay . i 'll alert accounting , and my boyfriend to start dinner without me . [ computer keys clacking ] can i help you ? quinn : uh , is mrs. spencer available ? or , um , should i say , miss logan ? katie : do i know you ? quinn : no , but we do have something in common . we both have sons by bill spencer . katie : it 's okay . you 're wyatt 's mother ? quinn : yes . quinn fuller . katie : hi . quinn : um , i understand he came to see you . katie : well , then you must know that i gave him an earful about his father . quinn : [ sighs ] none of which came as a huge surprise -- to me , at least . not after what he did to me years ago -- abandoning me , giving me money to end my pregnancy . katie : apparently you did n't follow orders . quinn : no , i did not . evidently you do n't , either . katie : no , i do n't like being anyone 's doormat . hope : i was just as surprised as you were to learn that these were from wyatt 's company . liam : yeah , yeah , you were surprised ... and a little bit excited . come on . admit it . hope : okay , yeah ! yes , i was excited , because that means now there 's a reason for the two of you to be back in each other 's lives . liam : uh - huh . and meanwhile , for wyatt , it means being back in your life . hope : [ sighs ] this has absolutely nothing to do with wyatt 's feelings for me . liam : aha ! see ? right there . you just admitted it . he does have feelings for you , hope . hope : [ sighs ] katie : please sit . quinn : did you know that wyatt went to bill right after he spoke to you ? katie : i 'm sure he had a few choice words for his father . quinn : [ sighs ] you were able to open his eyes in ways i was n't able to . although confronting bill when wyatt was still so upset probably was n't the smartest move . katie : how did bill react ? quinn : as far as bill 's concerned , wyatt is no longer a part of his life . my son has been kicked out of the family ... and the spencer empire . wyatt : you think i 'm being hard on my dad . brooke : you 're standing up for will . and i understand that . i admire that . wyatt : [ sighs ] brooke : believe it or not , i am a big family person , too . wyatt : then why hurt your sister the way you and my dad have ? brooke : [ sighs ] how much did katie tell you about her marriage ? wyatt : i know she almost died giving bill a son . brooke : yes , and she wanted to have that child even though she knew the risks with her heart . and bill could n't stand the thought of losing her . wyatt : only now he wants you . it did n't matter that she was battling post- partum depression and was n't thinking straight at all , but you and bill ... come on , brooke . you knew where this was going . that innocent , little boy 's family would be ripped apart , and you did it anyway . unless -- unless i 'm missing something here . brooke : no , wyatt . um ... but you do n't have the full picture . wyatt : really ? so you have someway to justify this ? tell me . i 'm fascinated . katie : i 'm sorry . i - i should have warned wyatt . quinn : you told him the truth . bill 's bailing on another son and a wife who wanted to hold their family together . i remember when wyatt was that young . never did i think bill spencer would be a part of his life . that 's why i lied . i was hoping he would never know his father . and it almost cost me my son . you know , wyatt -- he values the truth . and bill should be proud of him for that , at least for having the guts to tell him what he already knows but he wo n't admit . katie : which is ? quinn : i know this is a sensitive subject for you , but when a husband betrays his wife for her sister , that 's something that will is gon na have to live with for the rest of his life , too . how a man can do that to his son , how a sister can -- katie : well , you do n't know this , but brooke has a history with men . but you 're right . will should n't have to grow up with that . i mean , i never want him to know what it 's like to be betrayed by someone he loves and trusts . hope : it really does n't matter what wyatt feels , because you are the man that i want in my life . though i wo n't deny ... liam : oh , here it comes . hope : ... wyatt is kind of charming . liam : voilà . hope : [ chuckles ] liam : there 's a `` but `` coming , right ? hope : but more importantly , he 's your brother , and it 'd be a mistake to let him walk out of your life . liam : he did n't really walk out . my dad kind of kicked him out . hope : okay ! well , see , there 's , you know , an added benefit to hiring wyatt 's company . it gives you and wyatt and bill a chance to work things out . liam : and what if we ca n't ? well , i would say that 's very negative , because you can . you can do anything you set your mind to . liam : oh , yeah ? hope : yeah . liam : [ chuckles ] wyatt : wait , so katie walked out on my dad ? brooke : several times . and if bill had n't loved her so deeply , that would have been the end . and he has father issues , too . he hates it when people abandon him . and he tried over and over again with katie . he wanted to make it work . but she just kept leaving him , and she would take off her ring , and she would tell him she wanted a divorce . and she told me that she thought i would be better for him than she was . wyatt : it was all part of the depression . brooke : i do n't know . she was already taking h medication by then . i - i think it was probably her insecurities that she 's been dealing with for a very long time . wyatt : that explains the cameras , her spying on you and my dad . brooke : she told you about that ? wyatt : she told me a lot of things , but apparently she left out a lot , too . brooke : i really do love my sister very much . and to know that i 'm responsible for hurting her ... you know , it 's just really important that you know your father would give his life for his son and for you , for liam . he would never abandon will . he would n't . wyatt : well , he was sure quick to kick me to the curb when i stood up to him . brooke : and you were just doing what you thought was best for your little brother . but now you know everything that went into it . wyatt : yeah . but that does n't change things with my dad and me . i 've blown it with him . have n't i ? quinn : i have lived in l.a. my whole life and heard stories about your sister 's exploits , but , i mean , i always chalked it up to gossip . so , are you saying it 's all true ? katie : well , my sister has made some `` mistakes . `` unfortunately , she keeps making them . quinn : [ chuckles ] well , so does bill -- deserting son after son after son . katie : to be fair , he says that it wo n't be like that with will . quinn : good . still , sometimes i wish hope never brought bill and wyatt together . katie : sounds like you do n't approve of my niece . quinn : no , no , no . not at first . she interfered . she created a huge mess . katie : but now ? quinn : now she did something very surprising that could change wyatt 's life ... and mine forever . liam : i know you . i know how you think . you -- you think that you can just -- you can just -- and -- and -- and i 'm gon na -- even if you do n't -- hope : we can keep this up all day . i will wear you down . liam : [ clears throat ] or turn me on . hope : whatever works . liam : here 's what works -- wyatt out of my life and as far away from you as possible . hope : liam . liam : the guy has no boundaries , not for me , not with my dad . hope : all right , yeah , he did kind of manhandle bill , got on his bad side . but at least i have never been on bill 's bad side . liam : you 're adorable . hope : i know . [ laughs ] can we drop this , please , talk about more important things , like us and our wedding ? we still have so many decisions to make , like , um , like where to go on our honeymoon . liam : anywhere with you . does n't matter . hope : mm . wyatt : so , he actually admitted that he went a little rough on me ? brooke : yes . to me , he did . wyatt : [ scoffs ] brooke : not that that means everything 's smoothed over completely , but ... [ sighs ] i just want you to know that whatever issues you have with my relationship with your father , i 'm not gon na let it come between the two of you , 'cause you 've spent way too many years without each other . wyatt : you really love him . but where does that leave things ? i 'm guessing dad 's not gon na come rushing over here and say all is forgiven . brooke : [ chuckles ] uh , actually , he does n't even know that i 'm here . [ chuckles ] wyatt : oh , so you were hoping that i was gon na be the bigger man ? maybe go for a twofer , just apologize to dear , old dad and liam ? liam kicked me out of the house , right , so that he 'd be happy if i never crossed paths with him again . well ... too bad that 's not gon na happen for him . brooke : what ? wyatt : oh , you did n't know . [ chuckles ] quinn artisan jewelers is gon na be the exclusive designer for hftf . well , once all the papers are signed . brooke : oh , my god ! wyatt : yeah . brooke : was that my daughter 's idea ? wyatt : yeah . hope was pretty upset after what went down with dad and liam and me . she did n't want me to go . but i had my marching orders . i asked her to come with me , actually . i caught hope by surprise , too . she still is liam 's fiancée . i think she was a little tempted , though . and if steffy comes back , i mean , who knows what 'll happen ? your daughter deserves a man who is gon na be fully committed to her . and i actually want to be that guy if i get the chance . when i get the chance . quinn : we 've always been a small operation , but now being associated with one of the premier fashion houses in the worl -- you can just imagine my excitement . katie : and wyatt 's . quinn : and wyatt 's , too . yes . and it 's all because of hope . i mean , he -- he has been taken with her from the day they met . katie : and now you 're beginning to see why . quinn : yeah . [ telephone rings ] katie : excuse me . hello ? uh , yes , can you tell them to hold on ? thanks . quinn : i should let you go . i mean , you have your hands full running a company , being a single mom . i know how demanding that is . [ chuckles ] katie , i just want to say i admire you , your strength , your dedication to your son . i know you would do anything for him , just like i would do anything for wyatt . katie : thank you . it was really nice meeting you , quinn . quinn : nice to meet you , too . [ door closes ] [ door opens ] brooke : oh ! i recognize that necklace . i saw a similar one at wyatt 's . i just came from there . he 's very excited that our companies are working together , something that i was kept in the dark about . hope : uh , yeah . it just happened . um , yeah , i had no idea that these were quinn 's designs when i chose them . brooke : it 's a happy coincidence . hope : yeah , it 's a win / win for everyone . at least , that 's what i hope . brooke : hmm . i had a long talk with wyatt , and i explained everything to him , and i think he has a better understanding now . hope : you know what , mom ? i ... i really -- i do n't want to talk about this right now . brooke : fine . i was impressed with wyatt . and i think you are , too . liam : wyatt ? wyatt ? [ scoffs ] yeah , right . wyatt : what took you so long ? figured once hope told you that we 'd be working together , you 'd come charging right in . liam : well , nothing 's set in stone . wyatt : oh , so you 're here to tell me that hope 's rescinding her offer ? did n't think so . not that you 're above a little arm twisting nowadays . liam : well , if i thought it would do any good , but , uh , something tells me you 're not about to do me any favors . wyatt : this coming from a guy who made it very clear that he 'd be happy never to see me again . well , i 'm sorry to disappoint , bro , but that 's not gon na happen . look , this partnership with hope for the future is a huge deal for me and my mother . liam : oh , i know it is . congratulations . just keep in mind it 's strictly business . wyatt : oh , i 'm not sure hope would agree . liam : meaning ? wyatt : well , she 's the one who 's making sure that i 'm in your lives . wonder why that is . liam : i do n't know , wyatt . i do n't know . maybe because she knows how royally you screwed up with my dad and she feels really sorry for you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] actually , i kind of feel sorry for you . stuck across town working at spencer while i 'm over at forrester working very closely with your fiancée . liam : ah . wyatt : and until that divorce comes through , technically , you 're still married . even though hope 's planning your guys ' wedding . liam : right . and in your mind , that makes her fair game ? wyatt : did i say that ? i do n't -- i do n't think i said that . do i look like the type of guy who would stab his brother in the back ? well , i figure it 's not over yet . after all , hope did come and see me , so ... touché . liam : [ scoffs ] | liam tells hope that he was completely happy with his half brother being out of his life forever but apparently he is back ! hope says this has nothing to do with wyatt 's feelings for her , but she is glad this gives liam a reason to have wyatt back in his life . what with the boundaries that wyatt does not respect , liam is n't so sure this partnership can be a good thing when they should be getting on with being married and going on a honeymoon . he 's pretty sure that hope is getting a real kick out of that charmer , wyatt . she says this partnership will give them all a new chance to work together . liam can do anything he puts his mind to . brooke stops in on wyatt and asks about quinn . wyatt has a feeling that she is really looking for him . she says she knows he has only heard one side of the story from katie . she 'd like him to hear her side of what really happened between her and his dad and katie . she understands he was standing up for will and she admires that , but she thinks he was too harsh on bill . she is a big fan of family too . wyatt wonders why then did she hurt katie . katie was acting from her post partum depression , but bill and brooke had no such excuse . they knew where this was going . they knew this innocent little boy 's family would be ripped apart and they did it anyway . she says he does n't quite have the entire picture . he says he will be fascinated if she can shed any light on why they were justified , so please tell him . |

[ scene_break ] katie : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what i expected you to say . brooke : ridge and bill are n't so different , are they ? katie : what do you mean ? brooke : well , you know , you ca n't ask ridge how his work day went . katie : [ sighs ] i know . i - i try not to , but he 's so consumed by his work right now that i feel like if i do n't ask the question , then we wo n't have anything to talk about . brooke : well , that 's not gon na change , even when he recovers . i mean , artists are just like that . they need to work , work , work , and if they 're not , they feel like they 're not doing anything , and even asking them about it is a reproach . katie : of course , with bill , there were certain things that i just did n't want to know . brooke : yeah . i could n't ask bill about how his day went , either , but that 's because he was at home . he was n't at work . i know you still hold resentment towards me because i helped get spencer publications back to bill , but that 's because i was feeling the way you 're feeling now . his whole identity is wrapped up in his work , in his job . that makes him who he is . and i know ridge feels the same way . and he loves you , katie , and he knows you love him . it 's just he does n't understand why . [ scene_break ] maya : i do n't think you 're going to fire me . rick : difficult people do n't last here . maya : two reasons -- number one , `` difficult people do n't last here `` ? are you kidding me ? ! difficult people call the shots here . and i am hardly your biggest problem . ridge is . and , number two , as much as i may be aggravating you right now , you know that is nothing compared to what your darling wife pulled on me . number three -- rick : you said there were two reasons . maya : okay . fine . i 'm done . rick : all right . what 's number three ? maya : are you sure you want to know ? rick : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ridge : you do n't know me . you do n't know anything about me . caroline : do you want me to leave ? ridge : [ sighs ] no . do you want to learn ? caroline : maybe i 'm not bright enough or talented enou -- ridge : stop . you 're all those things and more . you have what it takes . i thought we made a pretty good team earlier . caroline : it 's just that i did n't know that we were a team . i thought you were just helping me . i did n't realize that i was helping you , too . ridge , you could have told me . i 'd still be honored to work with you and be trusted by you . ridge : trusted ? trust is a funny word , is n't it ? `` trust . `` `` trust . `` no one has the right to rob me of what i was born to do , what i 've done all my life . caroline : what are you talking about ? ridge : trust ! trust me ? what if i do n't trust you ? what about that ? what if i think that you and rick -- you 're here because you want to finish what uncle bill started ? caroline : my uncle ? ridge : yes , your uncle . he wanted me dead . my hand wo n't do ... what i want it to do anymore . caroline : well , maybe with some practice , mine can . [ scene_break ] katie : it 's true what you say . ridge feels like he 's nothing without his work . brooke : there have to be other ways for him to be creative . katie : well , he may have a solution . brooke : i 'm sure there 's some kind of new technology out there that he can play with . katie : yeah . well , i guess we 'll see . i just keep feeling like this is ... brooke : i 'm sure it affects your relationship . it has to . katie : do you think that 's why we 're not married ? do you think he feels like less of a man ? [ scene_break ] rick : you 're cute when you 're being coy . maya : thank you . rick : too bad you 're almost never coy anymore . maya : what am i , then ? rick : aggressive . maya : why is it that men get promoted for being aggressive and women get fired ? rick : you have your two reasons to protect you . maya : three . rick : which is ? maya : you remember us , too . rick : i never said that i did n't . i just said i was married . maya : but you and i know something about that that most people are too afraid to admit . rick : why do n't you remind me what that is ? maya : that marriage is n't forever . you and caroline got married too fast . you know it , and i know it . sure ... she 's behaving now . but the secrets and the lies are gon na start up again any day now . rick : yeah , you 're right about one thing -- i 'm not gon na fire you . but if there 's any more surprises like the steam room or being blatantly rude to caroline , that 's exactly what 's gon na happen . maya : but its okay for her to mangle my name any way she likes ? of course it is ... because she has trained you to expect that little from her . [ scene_break ] ridge : i had no way of knowing that the helicopter i ordered never showed up , and then i got on to bill 's by mistake . none of that came together until my memory came back . all of it -- the spencer logo on the jacket and bill 's most trusted employee was wearing it and that bill was giving the order to drop me out of the helicopter . a fisherman and his family picked me up , took care of me , and i do n't know why they did n't report it . maybe they thought there was a reward . maybe they were scared . i do n't know . but one day , i just wandered off , could n't find my way back , and that 's when brooke found me on the beach . and with brooke , katie , my family , coming back here ... it brought everything back . all my memories -- everything came back ... except this , so ... [ sighs ] what a day that was , huh ? now ... not a lot of people know about that , and i would like to keep it that way , okay ? caroline : what does your doctor say ? ridge : words . words , words , words . neuroskeletal and , uh ... neuro - something . a lot of `` neuro `` stuff going on there . caroline : meaning ? ridge : meaning she does n't know why i lost what i lost or if i 'll ever get it back . caroline : what do you think ? ridge : i think i have a chance . and i think that chance is with you . [ scene_break ] brooke : have you asked ridge if he changed his mind ? katie : he has n't changed his mind . brooke : i 'm sorry . i thought you were asking . katie : no , i -- we still talk about the future , you know ? we still talk about the places we want to travel and how we 're gon na parent the boys and the things we want to do before they 're consumed with school . but all the talk never manifests itself into any kind of plan with dates and to - do lists . it 's just this vague `` someday . `` and i do n't want to add to his stress , and i - i feel like if i say anything , then he 's gon na think i 'm questioning his commitment to me , and so i just say nothing . brooke : maybe he 's just waiting to be the man that he was when he asked you to marry him . katie : he is ! i did n't fall in love with sketches and designs . and what if his ability is gone for good ? i mean , his doctors are hopeful , but , clearly , they have no clue . it would be fine with me if he never worked again . brooke : i do n't think that 's a future that ridge can contemplate . katie : i know . i just want to be who he needs me to be . but i do n't know who that is . [ scene_break ] ridge : there . you see that ? it 's a little softer , more gradual . simple . now , that 's couture . you got it now , right ? caroline : mm - hmm . ridge : i think we have another design for rick . caroline : you still have it , you know -- all of it ... the sense of lightness and volume and that tricky simplicity that you do so well . ridge : yeah . well , i have all of it -- everything except the ability to put it down on paper . work with me . caroline : [ chuckles ] it 's been a fantasy of mine since i came to forrester to hear you say that . but ... ridge : you want credit . of course . caroline : no . no , no , no , no , no . there is no question in my mind that this design is yours , and i am happy to contribute anonymously what little i can . people will eventually find out . ridge : well , they ca n't find out . caroline : ridge , how is that realistic ? ridge : we 'll just keep doing what we 're doing . caroline : i have to at least tell rick . ridge : no . no , you ca n't do that , 'cause if he finds out that i 'm -- i 'm , uh , impaired -- is that the right word ? caroline : we 're newlyweds . i mean , what kind of married life am i leading when i ca n't tell my husband what i 'm doing all day ? ridge : listen to me . i know rick does n't want to hurt me , but if he sees a weakness in me , he 's gon na strike . that 's part of his nature . our relationship 's very complicated . and you need to think about something . this would be good for him , too . if we can pull this off , if we can have a whole line and the public loves him , well , that 'll be his success , too . caroline : all right . i 'll work with you , and i wo n't tell rick -- unless i have to . but that is the best i can do . ridge : i know i 'm not easy . i know that -- not easy on wives and employees , kids . i ask a lot . i ask too much , maybe . caroline : i can handle it . i could learn so much from you . ridge : i 'll give you everything i have . and it 'll be our secret . caroline : our secret . | caroline puts her hand on ridge 's and says she is sorry . he takes it away and says they came here to work . there is nothing to be sorry about . she tells him people love him and they will understand . he says there is nothing to understand . caroline asks then what do they do now . ridge says to make the corrections he asked her to make . she says she tried but she still did n't get it . he tells her try again . brooke meets katie for lunch and says this was a surprise . katie says she came in with ridge and thought they could have lunch like they used to . it 's a little weird and awkward until they get their small talk out of the way . katie is the first to say that things are n't that good . this whole thing with ridge has been stressful and hard . she 's like to talk to her best friend but ends up hanging up because her best friend is brooke . she says she misses her sister , she misses her best friend so today she did not hang up . brooke brightens up and says she misses katie too . katie says she is tired of being angry . she does n't have that kind of energy anymore . brooke says it does not have to be awkward . they are sisters and they love each other so no matter how much they have hurt each other in the past they will always love each other . and she can talk to her about anything . katie says she just wants to do the right thing and give ridge what he needs but she is not sure what that is . he needs to be creative . does brooke think that is why they are n't married yet , that he feels less than a man . maya has her hand on rick 's shoulder . he calls attention to it and says it needs to be somewhere else .like not as on this person . she asks if he heard what she just said . he says yes , that she still loves him . she asks if that is uncomfortable for him . he says only because she ca n't seem to change the subject . she says unlike caroline she thinks honesty is the best policy . and she also believes that somewhere he feels the same way too . he says this can go one of two ways . he can get mad and fire her .or . she asks why when she does her job well . he laments that she is difficult and pushy and wo n't listen to him . she says that worked for caroline . he says or he could thank her for having feelings for him but nothing is ever going to come of it . he likes being married . he 's never been happier . she continues that she has seen him happier . she made him happier . he shakes his head and says there was something just not quite right about them being together . maybe it was too needy or dependent . maya confesses that she felt it too but it had nothing to do with the way they felt about each other . it was like the odds were stacked against them and they had a right to be afraid of that . they have been through the worst so there is nothing to be afraid of anymore . she says she does not believe he is going to fire her . he says difficult people do not last long here . she scoffs , difficult people call the shots here . and she is hardly his biggest problem , ridge is . and as much as she is aggravating him right now it is not half as bad as what caroline pulled on her . caroline asks ridge why his hand is shaking . he says nervous habit , it 's all right . she says it 's only her here now . rick is not here . he is going to have to tell him something eventually . he asks her if she wants to learn . she is not sure she is bright enough or talented enough . he tells her to stop . she is all those things and more . they make a good team . she says that is just it . she thought he was helping her , not that she was helping him too . she says he should have told her . she would be honored to work with him and know that he trusted her . he says trust is a funny word . what if he does n't trust her that she and rick are not going to finish what her uncle bill started . she 's stunned when he says her uncle wanted him dead . he grabs the pen and tablet but ca n't do anything . he breaks the pencil into . he tells her his hand wo n't do what his mind wants it to . she slowly takes her hand and puts it on his and says with practice perhaps hers can . rick tells maya that she is cute when she is being coy . but too bad she is hardly ever coy anymore , just aggressive . she says yeah men get promoted for being aggressive but women get fired . she says she knows he remembers them too . he says yes , he did n't say he did n't , just that he was married . she says they know something that most people are too afraid to admit . he asks her to remind him . she says marriage is not forever . he and caroline married too fast . sure she is behaving now but the lies and secrets are gon na start up again any day now . rick says she is right about one thing . he is not going to fire her . but if there are any more surprises like the steam room or being rude to caroline , that is exactly what he will do . |
[ birds chirping ] brooke : you know i 'm right . caroline : right about what ? what is she talking about here ? brooke : you 're not telling your bride - to - be everything . ridge : she knows everything she needs to know . caroline : okay , why are you both talking like i 'm not here ? what do you know that i do n't know ? brooke : your fiancée has certain expectations . caroline : brooke , i can speak for myself . brooke : am i wrong ? caroline : no , you 're not wrong . every bride - to - be does have expectations , and ... okay , i think i know what 's going on here , what you 're reluctant to tell me , and what she desperately wants you to say .

[ scene_break ] caroline : it 's rj , is n't it ? we told him that we were getting married , and he 's upset . or he 's not , and he 's fine with the marriage . it 's the idea of a new , little brother or sister that he 's upset about ? ridge : it does n't even matter how rj reacts to any of it , because he 's gon na learn to love you the way that i love you , and as far as this new edition to the family ... [ inhales deeply ] i 'm gon na do whatever i can , but there are no guarantees . you know that . caroline : yeah , i - i do . i realize that . but is n't the saying that there 's the fun in the trying ? is n't ... okay , look , we ... we can talk about this when we 're at home . right now i 'm gon na go work on that design i was telling you about earlier , okay ? ridge : okay . caroline : mm , brooke , i could never replace you in our r.j. 's life , and i certainly would never try . i 'm not that kind of person . i 'm not the wicked stepmom type . ridge : come on . [ door opens ] ridge : why would you do that ? why would you try to force my hand ? this is my life -- my life with caroline . stay out of it . [ scene_break ] [ birds chirping ] zende : getting married and having another kid -- i mean , uncle ridge does not do halfway . nicole : so when 's the baby due ? thomas : it 's not . caroline 's not pregnant yet . nicole : but she 's hoping to be . thomas : yeah . zende : and your dad is okay with that ? thomas : well , he was n't at first , but ... nicole : caroline talked him into it . thomas : do you remember what i said about relationships being complicated ? yeah . well , dad thought he was done with this part of his life . you know , he 's already had two families , and now he 's -- zende : now he 's about to make it 3 for 3 . nicole : because of the woman he loves . caroline means that much to him . zende : girl 's a hopeless romantic . nicole : so ... i happen to like happily - ever - afters , that 's what this is for your dad and caroline . their happily - ever - after . thomas : look , there 's a lot that we could keep talking about , but this is a place of business , and we need to get back to it . nicole : right . we should ... finish sorting these fabrics . zende : those are for the freedom line , right ? thomas : yeah . we 're ramping up big - time for production , and i know that dad and caroline are out on their own , goofing off a little bit right now , and they 're distracted , but -- nicole : you 're like a laser . totally focused on making the line a huge success . thomas : guys , we are the next generation of forrester . people are expecting a lot from us , and we are going to deliver that . zende : we are ? thomas : yeah . i want you working closely with me on this . you know , coming up with your own designs if you 're interested in that . nicole : hey , i 'll do anything , too . like maybe running these bolts down to the sewing room . thomas : good . zende : yes . let 's do it . thomas : done . get on it . get outta here . zende : all right .

[ scene_break ] ridge : this is my secret . no one else will know . | caroline wants to know what brooke and ridge are talking about ; and when both clam up , she thinks she knows it is something brooke thinks ridge ought to tell caroline as the prospective bride . she guesses it might be about rj , perhaps he is upset they are getting married . she wants to assure brooke that she would never try to replace her , and she is not the wicked stepmother type . ridge takes caroline out the door and slams it . he tells brooke that this is his life and she needs to butt out . he explains he would have never told her about the vasectomy if he thought she was going to hold it over his head . she says he can not be certain the procedure can be reversed and caroline deserves to know that since she is counting on having children . he can not start off a marriage with such a huge secret . she questions him if he has spoken to his doctor and he says not yet ; he has other important things to plan . she reminds him the longer he waits the harder it might be . he wants this conversation to be just between them . |
brooke : you think because you 're so used to doing it , you can undermine hope again . steffy : i have every right to fight for my line . brooke : that is just an excuse that you used to manipulate , to interfere in hope 's life once again . you just brought it into the boardroom , that 's all . well , i am not going to let you steal my daughter 's future . steffy : excuse me ? i gave her this future . brooke : stop it ! please , just accept it and live with it and stop lashing out at hope because liam chose her instead of you . hope : i 'm glad you 're here . liam : [ chuckles ] any particular reason ? hope : other than i am madly in love with you ? liam : yes , other than that you 're madly in love with me . hey . something happen ? hope : uh ... steffy asked -- demanded , really , that i stop fighting for hope for the future . to just let the funding go to intimates . went as far as suggesting that i -- i stop the line altogether . liam : why would you do that ? hope : to compensate steffy for her loss . that would be you . liam : oh . justin : i 'll need to draft a response to the custody papers , so how do you want to play it ? bill : i do n't know . get a continuation , or whatever you do in a family matter . i want to settle these things with katie before we get anywhere near a courtroom . justin : yeah , well , the next step is mediation . bill : hell , no . there 's nothing to compromise . i just need more time with katie , all right ? what will does n't need is an all - out war between us . he does n't want to see his parents battling . i do n't want him to have to choose sides . justin : yeah , well , i hear you , but i do n't think katie does . she 's moving forward . nothing you 've said has even slowed her down . bill : well , i have a new shred of hope . brooke : my god , steffy . you do n't even fight fair . you 're using your influence with your father to make him feel sorry for you . steffy : i 'm co - c.e.o . , and if there 's an issue , i 'm gon na weigh in . brooke : go ahead . hide behind your business persona all you want . but you and i both know what this is about . you are jealous . you 're jealous of the life that liam and hope share . a life that you stole from them countless times ! i ca n't even remember ! ridge : hey , hey , hey ! shhh ! calm down . i can hear both of you guys down the hall . what is this ? my wife and my daughter fighting about which line is gon na get funding ? i ca n't have that . i 'm gon na make a decision today . justin : i 'm surprised brooke even speaks to you anymore . bill : who do you know more charming than i am ? nobody . justin : [ chuckling ] right . bill : anyway , we bumped into each other , and over the course of conversation , she said that she would reach out to katie on my behalf . justin : you 're serious ? bill : yes , i 'm serious . she does n't think i deserve to lose custody of will . justin : oh . that 's an unexpected development . bill : well , brooke 's a remarkable woman . always has been . she can be very , uh , level - headed . except when she walked out on me and decided to get hitched to that loser , forrester . hope : i do n't want to be at odds with steffy . we 're finally getting along . you know , putting aside our differences for the sake of our children . and , you know , there have been times lately where i 've actually felt really close to her . liam : i know . it 's been really nice to see . hope : yeah . but here we are . pitted against each other , fighting for the good of our lines . liam : i mean , is that what this is ? a fight ? hope : it was n't exactly pleasant . steffy demanding that i focus on our life together so that she gets the additional funding like i owe it to her . liam : heh ... she probably thinks you do . hope : liam , you know our family will always be my first priority . but i have invested so much of myself into hope for the future , it 's basically an extension of myself . and , you know , in order for it to continue to grow , and for it to really give back to the causes i care about , i need forrester 's full financial support . and that additional funding could really help my vision . but ... will i get it when i 'm up against ridge 's daughter ? brooke : so you 're making a decision . ridge : i 'm calling a meeting so we can make a decision , yes . brooke : you have to be fair , ridge . you ca n't be the father giving the little baby girl everything that she wants . ridge : i resent that . brooke : you have to do what 's best for the company . and that 's putting all of your support and resources behind hope for the future . justin : brooke on your side , you might actually have a shot at resolving this thing . [ chuckles ] my man , dollar bill . good work . give me some , baby . bill : [ chuckles ] justin : i do n't know how you managed to persuade her over to your side . bill : honestly , i do n't even know if it deserve a fist bump , because i really did n't do much . she just gets me . am i flawed ? do i make mistakes ? yes , and yes . but brooke knows i love my sons . and by the way , brooke having my back on this , going to katie , she wants that confidential , top - secret . nobody knows . especially that poser . justin : it sounds like things are better between you and brooke . bill : i 'm just grateful for the communication . justin : yeah , but you two meant a lot to each other . bill : always will . and i do n't want to see her disappointed . justin : well , is there a chance she will be ? bill : forrester has to decide between funding hope 's line or steffy 's line . now , brooke , of course , wants to see her daughter happy . i think the chances of that are zero . steffy 's gon na get that cash money . and ridge is going to disappoint brooke yet again . ridge : oh , good . everyone 's here . take a seat , please . thank you all for coming . i know this is last - minute , so i 'll make this as quick as i can . i know everyone 's busy . quinn : thanks . ridge : i have to figure out how to allocate funds moving forward . hope for the future or intimates . so i called everyone here to see if there 's anything else you want to say . thorne : well , you know how i feel . i think the money should go to hope for the future because it brings forrester creations to the next generation . quinn : do n't get me wrong . i think hope for the future is brilliant . with its style and its messaging , it 's doing so much good for the world . but if we 're talking about the long view , the intimates line has a much broader appeal with the demographics , including the fact that the re - vamp includes menswear . steffy : money talks . the intimates line has posted the largest profit year after year . hope : yes , but we ca n't compare earnings because hope for the future only just re - launched . steffy : well , you 're just talking about potential , and i 'm talking about the bottom line . brooke : hope for the future is a name brand that had a highly successful run . steffy : intimates line has that , as well . dating back to brooke 's bedroom . brooke : the re - launch was very successful . the clothes are selling . so now would be the time to infuse the line with money , resources . not scale it back . hope : and furthermore , the world needs hope for the future . we are n't just selling clothes . i mean , we 're making a real difference . we 're changing the way people are thinking . the younger generation , i mean ... women are feeling empowered . and this message means a lot to them . and we invest in this brand , then we are building a lifetime of loyal customers who will eventually transition into couture . i mean , that is the future . liam : i mean , the line 's already making an impact , and you know it 's just gon na get better from here , right ? quinn : there 's no way we could split the allocations ? ridge : no , there 's not . i wish there were . um ... you all saw the numbers . we have to choose one line . one secondary line next to couture . and that 's what makes this so hard . both these lines have value . intimates grew , like you said , out of brooke 's bedroom . and i do n't know why i like it so much . maybe because you created it , or maybe because you made it your own . but it is very successful . and hope for the future , it 's -- you said it again . it 's socially relevant . when have we ever said that about any of our lines ? never . it 's quite an accomplishment . and the way you roll out your designs , i -- i 've never seen anything like it . and that 's on you . that 's your talent , your voice . execution . you should be proud of yourself . i know i am . now , having said that , and having listened to all of you , i have to make the decision that makes sense for forrester . a financial decision . i 'm sorry . i choose intimates . brooke : i ca n't believe you . hope : wow . this is happening . liam : ridge , can you -- can you reconsider this ? steffy : i ca n't tell you how happy and grateful i am , dad . hope : ridge , please just be straight with me . is it only a matter of time until you call us all in here again to announce that you 're dropping the line entirely ? ridge : i 'm not abandoning hope for the future . i just feel that intimates is the better choice right now . thorne : okay . i 'm gon na ask if no one else will . is it because steffy 's your daughter ? brooke : exactly . ridge : i made this very difficult decision , thorne , because it 's best for the company . all right . i need the room . thank you . uh ... brooke , hope , steffy , please stay for a moment . thanks . brooke : i ca n't believe you did this to my daughter . bill : if it were up to me , there would n't even be a decision to make . intimates gets the funding . styles come and go , but a man will always want to see his woman standing before him in lingerie and undress her . justin : [ chuckles ] bill : besides that , that line is a cash cow for forrester . problem for ridge is it 's gon na leave hope out in the cold . and that 's not gon na sit well with brooke . justin : naturally , she 's gon na defend her daughter . bill : and , naturally , she wants to see her daughter happy . and she expects that ridge is gon na support that . but he wo n't , because he never does . he never has brooke 's back . this time wo n't be any different , mark my words . ridge : please do n't look at me like that , logan . brooke : what do you expect , ridge ? you picked your daughter over mine , simple as that . ridge : i made a business decision that , sadly , includes both our daughters . we 're not abandoning hope for the future . it 's still an important part of our company . brooke : but you 're giving all the funding to steffy . ridge : i 'm -- [ sighs ] i 'm giving the funding to intimates . and we 're going to re - evaluate down the road . steffy : i think it was the right decision . brooke : hope has put everything into her line . she put her heart and soul into hope for the future . she used her platform to put out positive messages in the world , and the clients really appreciate that . my god , ridge . you really did buckle under steffy 's pressure . ridge : really ? steffy : excuse me ? brooke : you want to lose yourself in your work , steffy ? you do n't have to do that here . you can do that anywhere . you just wanted to play on ridge 's sympathies to get whatever you wanted . i mean , it 's really sick . i 'm out of here . ridge : logan . logan ! hope : maybe it 's too soon to be objective , but nothing ridge said made me feel any better . liam : hey . do n't be disappointed . we got this . hope : with no money . liam : yeah . yeah , with no money . okay . so maybe that means scaling back , or compromising and just taking a look and seeing . i mean , maybe we -- maybe we up our social - media game , you know , and then that gets the line more attention . i mean , this is my wheelhouse , right , and that costs us absolutely nothing . hope for the future is still viable . stop thinking like this . do n't act like all your hard work is for nothing . it 's not . we 're gon na figure this out , and soon enough , ridge is gon na be like , [ as ridge ] `` hope , i 'm begging you . take my money . just -- just take it all ! `` hope : [ laughs ] liam : we got it . hope : you really believe in me that much ? liam : is that a serious question ? hope : oh , gosh . you always know how to make me feel better . [ sighs ] i am concerned about mom , though . she seemed really upset with ridge . liam : why am i not surprised ? hope : i just do n't want the situation to interfere with their marriage . ridge : [ sighs ] steffy : rough day . ridge : well , it comes with the territory . steffy : hope for the future is a great line . it 's an asset to the company , but it still needs to find its way . intimates is a proven commodity , dad . ridge : [ grunts ] i just wish this decision had n't come at hope 's expense . did you see the way that brooke looked at me ? i -- i did what i had to do . it was best for the company . steffy : it 's -- it 's fine.-you do n't have to worry . brooke 's business sense will kick in . it 's gon na be fine . i promise you . brooke : ugh ... [ sighs ] bill : well , i must be living right . what are the odds , bumping into you here again ? brooke : oh . uh ... i just needed time to myself . bill : bad day ? brooke : i 've had better . bill : mind if i join you for a minute ? brooke : i 'm not gon na be good company , bill . bill : i 'm willing to take my chances . did you have a fight with katie ? brooke : katie ? bill : well , you were going to talk to her about the custody issue . brooke : oh , right . yeah , no . i did n't have a chance to do that . bill : ah . well , then , this mood you 're in can only be about one thing . ridge made his decision . and i 'm gon na make a wild guess and say he went with steffy and her intimates line . brooke : i really do n't want to talk about it . bill : might do you some good . friendly face , empathetic ear . brooke : [ scoffs ] bill : you used to say i was a pretty good listener . brooke : yeah , when you want to be . bill : well , this is me wanting to be . brooke : okay . you know what ? i am . i 'm -- i 'm frustrated , and i 'm really disappointed for hope . i mean , she worked hard for this line . she threw all of herself into the line . she made it very successful . she had a great showing , a lot of buzz on social media . forrester creations should have supported her . and , yes , i feel disappointed for me , too . bill : well , i understand that . you deserve to be supported , too . you 're ridge 's wife . brooke : right ? i mean , is there anything wrong , expecting that ? bill : of course not . [ sighs ] listen , i -- i 'm sorry that ridge let you down again . but i ca n't say i 'm surprised by it . i apologize . that 's -- that 's not what you need to hear right now . i want you to know something . it really means a lot to me that you were willing to intercede with katie on my behalf with will 's custody . so i want to go on record . i 'm here for you , as well . anything you need , anything at all , big or small , you say the word , and you got it . brooke : thank you , bill . that 's very nice . bill : i suppose i 'm just honoring our history . and what a history it was . we were so close at one time . in love . we 'll always love and care about each other . you can count on it , brooke . anything you need , i 'm here for you . always . | steffy tells brooke that she has every right to fight for her line . brooke rails back that she has no right to derail her daughter 's future and got her dad to choose her line instead of hope 's . hope tells liam what steffy asked or demanded to compensate for her own loss . so here they are once again fighting with each other . steffy thinks she owes it to her . hope tells liam that their family will always be first priority but she has invested so much in this and it feels so unfair to be pitted against ridge 's daughter . bill tells justin that he wants to settle this with katie before it ever gets to a courtroom . he does not want anyone to have to choose sides . he needs a new shred of hope . brooke tells steffy they both know what this is about . she is jealous of hope . ridge hears the loud voices and comes in and says he can not have his daughter and wife fighting . he will make the decision today . justin is surprised when he hears that brooke is on bill 's side and does not want him to lose his son to katie with full custody . bill says he is flawed and yes he makes mistakes but that does not apply to his sons . they will always come first . and having brooke on his side is an added plus but this is on the hush - hush so no one , especially ridge , is to know . |
rick : okay , what about eric ? bridget : he was with them . rick : is he hurt ? bridget : no , no , no , he 's in the police car . he 's okay . rick : what was amber doing on the edge of a cliff arguing with deacon ? this does n't make any sense . bridget : well , they should be here soon . rick : okay , now , the lieutenant said she fell . do they know how bad she is ? bridget : they 're trying to contact an orthopedic surgeon . rick : a surgeon ? oh , my god . bridget : rick , i think you need to prepare yourself . her injuries sounded pretty severe . massimo : a nightcap ? for the lady . jackie : does this mean that the evening 's over ? massimo : oh , no , as a matter of fact , we could continue our conversation in the other room if you 'd like .

( sighs ) brooke : ( sighs ) ridge : not to mention the help that he got from that accomplice . the question i want to find out is how and when were they in contact when we -- wait a minute . why did n't i think of this before ? brooke : what ? ridge : the bartender at café russe . he told me that andy left his cell phone at the bar there . well , andy never got a chance to retrieve his cell phone . if the bartender 's still got it , we could check the contacts . we could check the log . maybe ... the number of the accomplice might be in there , logan . this could be it . this could be the break we 're lookin ' for . brooke : ridge , you 've got ta get that bartender to give you that phone . ridge : oh , man . but i - i do n't want to leave you here alone . brooke : no , it 's okay . i 'll lock the door . i 'll turn on the alarm , but you 've got ta go find out who helped that bastard ! and when you do -- ridge : oh , do n't worry . he 'll get what he deserves . okay , come on . put on the alarm . brooke : okay . good luck . ( sighs ) ( alarm beeps ) [ scene_break ] katie : obviously , you forgot i was still here . stephanie : why ? i just -- i - i ca n't figure out why he -- he can not see her the way i do . katie : maybe it 's because ridge does n't share your tunnel vision when it comes to my sister . and whatever you think brooke has done , she does share a child -- your grandchild -- with ridge . maybe it 's not so smart to ridicule her to him like that . stephanie : right . katie : why ca n't you just accept that brooke and ridge did n't come to the wedding because they 're finding their way back to each other . stephanie : oh , stop . do n't even go there ! she 's deluding herself if she thinks she 's gon na get back together with him . he belongs with ashley . that 's what 's going to happen . katie : is n't that just wishful thinking on your part ? katie : where are you going ? oh , for god 's sake , stephanie ! for once , just stay out of it . katie : ( sighs ) ( door closes ) [ scene_break ] man : well , that 's it for this run . see you next week . pete : what , you 're not gon na hang out , help me restock ? man : sorry , dude . i just deliver the stuff . later . pete : ( scoffs ) ridge : pete , thank god ! i did n't know if you 'd be in this morning . pete : something i can do for you , mr. forrester ? ridge : i need to talk to you about andy johnson . pete : the guy who got zapped up on the roof ? ridge : yeah . you said before he left his cell phone here . do you still have it ? pete : why ? ridge : i ca n't explain . i do n't have time to do that . just do you have his cell phone , or not ?

stephanie : i believe i told you that his wife is in europe . so , um , my son and i -- we -- we stayed here with him last night . dr. seifert : that 's very good . stephanie : funny the things you remember when you 're watching someone this way . i was thinking about , you know , when the children were young and i - i stayed home with them at that time . he would come in from the office at night , and i 'd make him a martini , and -- he loved his martinis . ( chuckles ) i could always sense , though , when there was something he -- he wanted to tell me . he might put it off a little , you know , read the paper or make some sketches , even sometimes wait until we got up here into the bedroom , and -- and then he 'd let me know that something had happened or was about to happen that was gon na turn our lives upside down . well , listen , i - i was watching the , uh , physical therapist the other day exercise his arms and his legs , and i - i think that i could do that , but , dr . seifert , do n't you think it would be better if we got a professional in here to do it ? dr. seifert : no , i do n't think that would be necessary . stephanie : why ? dr. seifert : your ex - husband is not getting better , mrs. forrester . stephanie : well , of course he is . he was conscious . he spoke to me . i mean , that has to mean something . dr. seifert : of course , it meant the world to you , but what is meaningful and what is medically significant are not always the same . stephanie : i do n't understand . dr. seifert : a coma has its own direction . we do not know where it is taking him , and neither does he . sometimes it will come to a station and stop , and the traveler will step out on the platform , look around , say hello and travel on . stephanie : you see no improvement ? but he does n't seem to be any worse . dr. seifert : yesterday , we saw measured responses to pressure , to light . today , no . stephanie : bu -- but it 's just one day . dr. seifert : that 's right . stephanie : you do n't think he 's going to recover . dr. seifert : he is no longer stable . all of his vital signs are slowing down . there is a change coming . but it may not be the one that you hoped for .

( chuckles ) and it 's just about to begin . ( giggles ) | despite liam 's protestations , bill insists liam try some port and teaches him how to light up and smoke a cigar . katie tells him he can not light up in the house around their unborn baby . so bill takes it outside and tells liam to shut up and accept the cigar like a man . steffy quips this must be what brainwashing looks like . hope is moping , but thomas insists she needs to eat so he goes out for sandwiches . rick walks in and encourages her to accept thomas 's attention . she says she can not think of anybody right now that way . rick is surprised when ridge walks in and announces that he needs a best man and would like for that to be rick . he in turn thinks if hope is gon na stand up for them too , then he should ask his own son . ridge thinks thomas will have other plans trying to unruffled the feathers of caroline . brooke walks in and finally it is settled when thomas also comes in and thinks this will be the beginning of their healing for past behaviors concerning him and brooke . |

bill : brooke 's at work . justin : i can not believe what you just told me . bill : you ca n't believe it ? he recorded me behind my back ! what the hell kind of universe is it when my son tries to force me out of my own company ? liam , no less ! justin : well , he wants your resignation by 9 : 00 . bill : or he snitches to the cops . justin : i can not believe liam would do this ! so , what are you gon na do ? liam : i figured my dad would n't be able to put the actual words down on paper , so i did it for him . all he 's got to do is sign on the way out . steffy : you 're seriously thinking of doing this ? liam : it 's time . steffy : you know i support you in every way , and i do n't condone bill having spectra fashions torched ... liam : but ? steffy : spectra 's not coming back . your father 's here to stay . forcing him to step down from this company that he built ... you might ruin your relationship with him permanently . are you willing to do that ? katie : oh ! oh ! ow ! ow , ow ! wyatt : is that a good `` ow `` or bad `` ow ? `` katie : ow ! it 's -- it 's a sword `` ow ! `` [ laughs ] wyatt : oh ! i 'm sorry about that . katie : i did n't stay stop . wyatt : oh . katie : have i told you how happy i am that you were so persistent ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] katie : i would n't want to miss a single second of this . wyatt : i knew it would be like this . katie : [ chuckles ] wyatt : i did . katie : you 're always so confident . wyatt : well , i -- i know what i 'm good at . katie : i just -- i ca n't believe that i wasted all that time with those old dudes . wyatt : right ? kat , this is so much more fun ! wyatt : oh , gosh ! there 's a marketing campaign in there somewhere . katie : i could be the spokesperson . wyatt : ooh ! katie : there 's always so whiny and they have so much baggage , and it 's all about them ... wyatt : oh , my gosh . katie : and with you , it 's ... it 's all about me . i like it . wyatt : yeah . katie : [ giggles ] liam : i just ca n't do it anymore , steffy . i ca n't let my dad keep getting away with hurting people who ca n't fight back . steffy : i understand where you 're coming from . liam : i mean , first , it was the dirty tricks and the corner - cuttings and the psychological manipulations and intimidation . it 's like , okay , i get it , you know ? [ scoffs ] i do n't like it , but part of being at spencer is looking the other way . but this quest for power has gotten out of control , and he has to be stopped before somebody ends up dead . i mean , could you imagine -- could you imagine if that actually happened ? i would n't be able to live with myself . would you ? steffy : i know . i know . i just want your eyes to be wide open , okay ? you 're taking a major stand , and there will be consequences . liam : oh , i know . my dad will be furious and vengeful , and life will not be easy for a while . steffy : for a while ? liam : [ scoffs ] i guess i 'm banking on somewhere down the line him coming to respect what i did and respect that i led his company into a more principled , more humane future , but i ca n't tell you how much it means to me that you 're with me on this . bill : there 's no way i 'm handing my company over to my traitor son . all that tofu he eats must have rotted his brain if he thinks that 's even possible . justin : i know this is n't something you want to hear . as your legal advisor and your friend , i 'm telling you , your son has n't left you a choice . if he goes to the police with that recording , you 're done . so sign the company over to liam or go to prison . me , too . look , i 'm not telling you , bill . you have to go over there , suck up your pride , and sign over the company to liam and let him be the c.e.o . justin : getting close to liam 's deadline . he said resignation in hand by 9 : 00 . bill : i know what he said . justin : okay , so what are you gon na do ? the clock 's ticking . bill : i 'm well aware . justin : are you gon na give liam your resignation , or do i need to get our affairs in order ? katie : [ giggles ] can you imagine if anyone found out about us ? wyatt : [ laughs ] we do n't even know what `` us `` is . no , i mean , i -- i assume we 'd hear a lot from a few people . katie : mm . i 'm not sure quinn would ever really recover . wyatt : yeah . you 're gon na need a lot more than a telescope to protect you . katie : hey ! do n't you be talking about my telescope . those things come in very handy . wyatt : you are sensitive about this thing . holy -- what ? katie : [ giggles ] wyatt : who else ? katie : oh , yeah , right . yeah . who else ? wyatt : yeah , dad 's probably not gon na be very thrilled about this . katie : yeah , well , he 's not really in a position to judge . wyatt : but you know he will . and harshly . and i 'm not exactly in the position to alienate him right now . i think i 'm on track to be heir apparent at spencer . katie : is that what you want ? wyatt : very much . katie : you 'd be a great c.e.o . wyatt : thank you . i mean , i am the only natural choice . you know , handing the reigns to me , it 's just like dad handing the reins to himself . i mean , we 're that much alike . and i just -- that 's kind of why we should keep this on the down - low . katie : yeah . wyatt : i just do n't want to upset him . katie : [ laughs ] yeah , you do n't have to worry . my lips are sealed . wyatt : well , do n't go that far . 'cause i mean , i kind of -- i kind of need these lips right now . katie : do you ? really ? wyatt : mm - hmm . [ cellphone chimes ] mnh - mnh . katie : really ? wyatt : mnh - mnh . katie : [ chuckles ] hang on . wyatt : come on . [ sighs ] what ? katie : oh ! ooh ! looks like steffy is at the front gate . wyatt : that 's odd . katie : i should probably go let her in . wyatt : i wonder what she wants . katie : i do n't know . i guess we will find out . wyatt : well , okay . [ laughs ] get rid of her 'cause i 'm not done with you yet ! [ knocking on door ] katie : all right ! hang on , hang on , hang on ! hi . steffy : hi . is everything okay ? katie : uh , yeah . why ? steffy : first off , you 're wearing a robe and you look flushed . katie : oh ! well , i 'm -- i 'm fine . steffy : come to think of it , you 've been -- you 've been working at home a lot recently , huh ? katie : yeah , but -- but do n't worry , i 'm not neglecting my responsibilities . i mean , most of my work is on the phone or online , so ... with traffic and all , sometimes it 's just easier . steffy : yeah . yeah , especially when you have someone here . katie : [ chuckles ] steffy : you have a guy over , do n't you ? katie : okay . yeah , i do . steffy : i knew it ! okay , okay . well , uh , nice . i 'll , uh -- i 'll make this quick . i just want to thank you for all your hard work in monte carlo . you and wyatt are a great team . katie : yeah , who knew , right ? i mean , but you do n't -- you do n't have to thank me . the pleasure 's all mine . steffy : well , uh , i apologize for barging in like this , but i just wanted to give you a heads up . something 's going down . something that 's gon na rock the entire fashion industry , and i just wanted you to know now that you 're head of pr . katie : all right , well , you have my attention , so what 's going on ? bill : you look like a kid in that chair . it 's way too big for you . katie : you seem worried . steffy : i am . i just need you to be prepared . like i said , this is gon na rock the entire fashion industry . katie : i ca n't imagine what it could be . i mean , the fire at spectra , right before a career - defining show . there 's so much going on . steffy : it 's bigger than that . katie : bigger ? wow . steffy : yeah . i just need you to roll with the punches on short notice . katie : okay . steffy : and one more thing -- i do n't know if you know this , but zende and nicole , they 're gon na be going to paris working at international . zende 's gon na be designing , and nicole , she 's gon na be working in marketing . katie : yeah , i heard that . that 's a great opportunity . i will put out a press release . steffy : okay . well , i think i kept you long enough . i 'm sure someone agrees . katie : uh , are you sure you ca n't give me a hint about what 's going on ? steffy : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry about being all mysterious about this . i just do n't want you to be blindsided . there 's gon na be a lot of media attention to deal with . katie : okay , um , keep me posted . that was strange . wyatt : yeah ? what did she say ? katie : she wanted to warn me about something , but she really would n't tell me what it was . wyatt : huh . i wonder what 's going on . liam : hi , dad . bill : i was gathering my thoughts , things i needed to say to you . liam : not gon na change my mind , but okay . bill : well , maybe it will , and maybe it wo n't , but i think you owe it to me to listen , do n't you ? liam : go ahead . bill : i know you feel like you have n't been heard around here , but that 's not true . it 's just that -- you 're not a bottom line kind of executive , liam . you 'd rather make a difference in the world than maximize profits . and while that 's not me , it 's certainly commendable and in keeping with your innate goodness , your belief system .... and it 's very important that we all hold true to what we this little coup ? blackmailing your own father ? that 's not who you are ! liam : you 're right . it goes against every instinct in my body . bill : then stop ! liam : i ca n't because you can't . bill : liam , you have to know that i will never allow this . i will not be forced out of my own company . liam : dad , i have a recording of you confessing to arson . but that 's not even the sick thing . you want to know what the sick thing is ? that was just another day at the office for you . bill : upon reflection , i may have gone too far . liam : i am thrilled to hear you say that . bill : so i 'll tell you what . from this point forward , i will bring you in on every decision i make . you can be my conscience . liam : no . bill : i am really trying to be reasonable here . liam : you ca n't talk your way out of this , dad . you destroyed people 's lives . you understand ? people just struggling to make their way in this world , all to , what , to satisfy your ego ? your pride ? your lust for power ? who cares about the little guy as long as you get what you want ? well , as it happens , i do . i care about the little guy , and i am in a position to do something about it , and it 's gon na cost you the thing you love most in this world -- spencer publications . bill : [ chuckles ] wow . well , look at you . a little perceived power already going to your head . liam : do you think that i get a kick out of this ? out of morality policing you ? no , the truth is , somebody has to stop you from taking a bulldozer to people 's lives , and i guess that 's me . so i 'm gon na bulldoze you , and it 's not to hurt you and it 's not to punish you . it 's not because it feels awesome . it 's to protect and save what you have already built . spencer needs new leadership , and it needs it bad . bill : and you really think that 's you , you self - righteous son of a bitch ? liam : yeah , dad . it 's me . i figured you would n't , uh -- you would n't want to do it yourself , so i already drew up the documents . all you have to do is sign . there 's no choice here , dad . you can read it if you want to . it 's pretty straightforward . you resign , appointing me c.e.o . of spencer publications , effectively immediately . wyatt : `` bombshell stuns fashion world `` -- i mean , that is just the kind of story that spencer publications would want to cover . katie : and there it is . i was wondering when work mode was gon na show up . wyatt : you know ... katie : what are you thinking ? wyatt : well , i hope this does n't sound like i 'm trying to take advantage , and feel free to say no if you want , but ... i was wondering if you were willing to give me first press with the story . katie : so you want a favor . wyatt : well , i just -- okay . it would make me look good in dad 's eyes . he would see himself as leading the pack and me , one day , running spencer in the future . i mean , who else , right ? 'cause dad has to know that liam is n't equipped to run the company . liam : this is not a contest of wills , dad . it 's an ultimatum . either you resign or i go to the cops with you admitting to arson . bill : you do n't want to do that , liam . liam : no , i don't . i don't . but i will . so , should i call lieutenant baker ? i 'm sorry . bill : no , you 're not . liam : you know ... you may not believe it , especially not now , but i am trying to do the right thing . maybe even one day make you proud . bill : [ chuckles ] i 'm so proud . i am so proud . the only reason you 're here is because when you showed up out of nowhere , i brought you in . i gave you everything . and you show your gratitude by trying to blackmail me out of my life 's work ! i 'm gon na sign your little paper , but i 'm not resigning . it 's a leave of absence . liam : call it what you want , dad . bill : i 'm calling it like it is . do n't get too used to the big boy chair . because i 'll be back . your enjoy your reign while it lasts because it wo n't be long , i promise you that . i will find a way around you . or through you . liam : but not today . bill : no . no , not today . but i 'm gon na leave you one more thing to think about in the meantime . liam : what 's that ? bill : you 're a traitor , and the worst kind of hypocrite . you question my ethics , my morals , and use blackmail to satisfy your own . recording your father , using extortion to take my company . you should know me well enough , liam . i do n't get even with those who betray me . i decimate them . my son ... liam : [ grunts ] [ groans ] [ panting ] [ exhales sharply ] | liam shows steffy the papers and says he knows his dad would not do this so he had the papers typed and all his dad has to do is sign them on the way out . he could not let him get away with this . steffy replies that spectra is out of business and leaving town but his dad will always be here so she hopes he will think about this . justin says as bill 's legal advisor he does not have good news . he has to suck up his pride and turn the business over to liam or go to prison . wyatt and katie are not worried about business . they frolic in bed . steffy stops by and katie has to rush to answer the door while in her robe . steffy notices and realizes she probably has a man upstairs . steffy fills her in that spectra is closing and that zende and nicole are moving to paris and there is going to be a lot of media attention and she does not want katie to be blindsided . bill walks into his office with liam sitting in the chair . he says he looks like a little kid sitting there . bill says it is true that everyone needs to stand true to what they believe but to blackmail your father that is not who liam is . he will not be forced out of his own company . |

[ sighs ] ridge , i just -- i ca n't help thinking that whenever you have a choice to make between your daughter and my daughter , my daughter always comes in second . hope : you look good . steffy : thank you . hope : i hope i recover as well as you did . steffy : i 'm sure you 'll look great right after you deliver . hope : maybe , but i highly doubt i 'll be modeling lingerie . steffy : well , like you , i 'm sharing a message of empowerment . that 's why i 'm doing it . everybody has a right to feel good in their bodies , including new moms . hope : yeah , but you enjoy being like this , too . it 's okay . there 's nothing wrong with it . you can admit it . steffy : yeah , i get it . it 's not your style . you 'd rather be out there saving the world . hope : oh , just the women who have lost their self - respect because of the world and the way they 've been treated . steffy : ah . clearly , you have a problem with my ethics . hope : ethics ? interesting word choice . i wonder if you even really know what they are . emma : i just feel for hope . getting aced out that way ... xander : she was n't aced out . i mean , hope for the future is n't going anywhere . besides , as interns , we have to be loyal to all the lines . emma : true . xander : now , considering how hard we 've been working as said loyal interns , i think it 's only fitting that we give ourselves a break this afternoon . emma : you mentioned bikini . xander : well , that 's only a part of it . emma : what else ? xander : let 's just see what surprises the afternoon holds . emma : i have to finish restocking . should n't take long . xander : all right . well , uh , just text me when you 're ready . emma : i will do that . [ door closes ] xander : [ sighs ] you have n't changed . zoe : maybe i have . maybe i took off that cute little design i was wearing earlier . want to find out ? xander : how 'bout i just guess ? nothing , right ? zoe : wrong . xander : hmm . getting modest . i 'm impressed . zoe : and i 'm insulted . but i can rectify that . xander : don't . anyone can walk in here . zoe : these doors have locks . xander : oh , yeah . that 'll look good when ridge tries to come in . zoe : [ sighs ] rain check ? xander : sorry . i 'm busy all day . zoe : so i heard . you really think you 're going to get anywhere with that little emma ? good luck . xander : [ sighs ] [ gulls crying ] [ indistinct conversations ] emma : there 's an open table . xander : true , um , but i kind of had something else in mind . martin : mr. avant . xander : yeah ? martin : everything 's set up and ready for you . xander : great . thanks , martin . after you . [ conversations continue ] emma : what is this ? xander : it 's a surprise . emma : xander , i -- xander : oh , it 's , uh -- it 's , uh -- it 's nonalcoholic . emma : oh . [ chuckles ] xander : here you go . emma : thanks . xander : well ... to the first of many surprises . emma : this place is unreal , like something you 'd see in a movie . xander : yeah , well , you know , we 've been working so much . hardly any time for just the two of us . i wanted to show you how much i care about you , emma ... and how much you mean to me . ridge : hey . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : the decision i had to make was n't personal , logan . brooke : no , ridge . it was very personal -- for all of us . ridge : i 'm sorry you feel that way . i see it differently . brooke : what was best for the company , right ? i mean , do you really believe that ? ridge : i do . long - term , yes , i do . brooke : hope 's line is in the middle of a rollout . she had a fantastic showing . it was very successful . ridge : it 's gon na keep being successful . it 's gon na be great . it 's just it 's gon na be -- brooke : it 's gon na be less than . less than . you know , i feel sorry for her , and i feel sorry for steffy . ridge : why ? brooke : she fought so hard . i mean , she really did try courageously to make things work with hope . and you know what ? she succeeded . and now you , just 'cause it 's so important for you to try to figure out which line gets the most money , i mean , it 's -- it 's ridiculous , ridge . you 've pitted them against each other ! [ sighs ] i mean , it 's sad . ridge : that was never my intention . brooke : no . your intention was just to [ sighs ] -- you know , `` what 's best for the company ? what 's the bottom line ? `` but is that really worth it ? [ sighs ] what about their happiness ? i do n't want them to turn out like taylor and me ... and being miserable for years and years and years . i do n't want that for them . is that what you want for hope and steffy ? steffy : you disapprove of me . no surprise there . well , i 'm not afraid of my sexuality , hope . hope : neither am i . steffy : my line is rather tame compared to brooke 's bedroom collection . hope : i 'm sorry . is this a competition ? steffy : you 're kidding me , right ? hope : no . so then why bring it up ? we were n't talking about my mother or your sexuality . steffy : no , we were talking about my father and his decision about my line , not yours . hope : yeah . so , can you honestly tell me that you did not pressure him ? steffy : you mean did i argue my position ? of course i did . so did you . hope : okay . well , i based my position on logic and performance . what was yours based on ? steffy : history , revenue , the fact that i actually need this . frankly , i 'm disappointed you do n't even see that . maybe you do n't want to see it . maybe you just do n't care . hope : i do care about you , steffy . i have admired you so much these past few weeks with your devotion to family -- not only yours but mine . but i have to wonder -- steffy : wonder what ? hope : if it was just words . steffy : i was trying to get along ... rise above our differences for the sake of our children . but i did n't succeed , did i ? you still have this judgy attitude towards me , like i 'm less than . you 're promoting female empowerment , and i 'm promoting sex . that 's how you see it . and now you stand here , passing judgment on me . this whole `` getting along `` act -- that 's exactly what it was , hope . it was just an act . nothing 's changed . you think you 're better than me . you always have , and you always will . | steffy leads the way with her models telling them to make forrester proud of the intimates line . hope does some repair work on the phone to her clients over her line and the charities . brooke says this was supposed to be a business decision but it looks like he just sided with his daughter . sex sells says steffy . brooke figures she probably learned that from her . hope tells her mom do not let this cause tension between her and ridge . stay away from the topic completely if she has to . both sally and quinn tell steffy they believe in her line and want it to do well . ridge likes seeing steffy like this and she appreciates his support . she just hopes it does not cause problems between him and brooke . sally tells steffy this might be the wrong time but she has been working on some intimates on her own time and she 'd like steffy to look at them when there is more time . afterwards steffy tells all the models well done . even hope steps forward and says she enjoyed it even with steffy modeling although she was not expecting that . |
[ door opens ] brooke : oh . ridge : hey . brooke : hi . how 's thomas ? ridge : he 's good . he 's being released today . hi . brooke : oh . well , wow . that 's great . you must be so relieved . thomas is gon na be okay . ridge : yeah . brooke : ridge , despite my feelings for him , i never wanted him to suffer that fall . ridge : uh , this -- i 'm not , um ... i talked to detective sanchez . brooke : i 'm assuming he wants to know more about thomas ' involvement with emma 's death or more about the lies he said about beth ? ridge : no . he , uh , wanted to talk about flo . she 's being released today as well . [ scene_break ] shauna : i bet you 're glad to be out of that jail cell . flo : yeah . yeah , it does n't even feel real yet . shauna : oh , but it is real , honey . you 're home . i 'm so happy . flo : me , too , mom . thank you so much for everything . i do n't -- i do n't know what i would have done without you . shauna : honey , i would do anything for you . flo : i know . i do n't even know if i could be here without you , to be honest . this place -- it just , um , i do n't know . it kind of brings up bad memories , you know ? shauna : well , that was an ugly chapter in your life , and it 's over now . and you 've been given a fresh start , so you need to use it . [ scene_break ] wyatt : yep , circle back with schwartz on this copy . i 'm not sure it 's where it needs to be yet . man : yes , sir . wyatt : and we still have that meeting with mr. rios tomorrow , right ? man : 2 : 00 . wyatt : perfect , great . i have those investors lined up . they are really eager for that merger to happen . hey , you . sally : hi . wyatt : uh , let me check in with you later , all right ? um , oh , and set up that conference call with luxembourg about the market extension . man : okay . got it . wyatt : perfect . thanks , man . man : mm - hmm . wyatt : [ clears throat ] sally : mmm - mmm - mmm . wyatt : what ? sally : look at you . wyatt : i 'm sorry . do you have an appointment ? because i 'm a very busy man . sally : uh , you 're a very sexy man . wyatt : oh . sally : you know , if this suit did not look so good on you , i might wan na rip it off . wyatt : oh . sally : mm - hmm . sure . wyatt : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] sally : god , i 'm really , really liking this whole wall street look you got going on here . wyatt : really ? sally : mm - hmm . i mean , do n't get me wrong . the scruffy surfer is very sexy , too , but i just -- i 'm really digging this . wyatt : well , i - i clean up pretty well , do n't i ? sally : yeah , but it 's like the whole vibe . wyatt : mm . sally : like , just hearing you say `` merger `` ... wyatt : merger . sally : and `` market extension . `` wyatt : market extension . sally : god , it 's such a turn - on . mm - hmm . wyatt : the corporate lingo is turning you on . sally : oh , it is so hot . wyatt : really ? sally : yes , i could watch you all day . wyatt : i can make that happen . i can just -- i can clear my schedule , and then one flip of the lock over there , we could just -- we can kick this up a notch ... real quick . [ scene_break ] flo : i can not even begin to tell you how good that just felt . oh , i am so excited to finally sleep in my own bed tonight and , like , have my ... [ sighs ] my comfy pillows . it 's just ... shauna : and you 're gon na have a good meal . i already know what i 'm making you . flo : chicken and dumplings ? shauna : mm - hmm , your favorite . flo : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] i just feel so lucky . shauna : well , i have n't made this for you since you were a kid , so -- flo : no . mom , i mean about ... everything -- getting out of jail and getting this immunity deal . i mean , i had no idea that ... shauna : well , the investigators needed your cooperation for their case against the forged medical document ring . so you would have been crazy not to take the plea , and i am so grateful to ridge that he did n't fight your release . [ scene_break ] brooke : so flo 's been released . on bail ? ridge : nope . they dropped all charges . brooke : what ? ridge : she 's a free woman , no more jail time . brooke : [ gasps ] how ? i mean , how is that even possible ? how do you know about this ? ridge : sanchez ran it by me first . brooke : wait . [ scoffs ] he ran it by you ? what -- what do you mean ? he gave you a choice ? ridge : not much of one . brooke : you could have said no , and you did n't ? ridge : flo was being offered immunity if she agreed to testify in another case -- a larger case against buckingham . brooke : oh . i see . they made a deal . and that 's okay with you , after everything she 's done to us and to your daughter ? ridge : no , it 's not okay with me . but that was the only way to protect thomas . brooke : protect thomas ? that 's what this is all about ? that 's why you did n't fight the immunity deal ? thomas does n't need protection , ridge . in fact , he needs to pay . he needs to pay for what he did to my daughter and to douglas . [ scene_break ] wyatt : mmm . i really think we should lock the door , do n't you think ? hmm ? sally : that could be risky . wyatt : not locking the door would be riskier . sally : well , not if we keep this pg-13 . wyatt : now why would we do that ? i mean , we already missed so much time . i mean , i feel like we should get to know each other again . sally : well , hello . i 'm sally spectra . wyatt : you know what i mean . sally : yes . yes , i know exactly what you mean . wyatt : you 're just not -- you 're not ready . sally : look , it would be so easy ... wyatt : [ groans ] sally : ... to just be there and be ready . trust me , okay ? i - i missed you , too , wyatt . i told you that i am not ready to jump in . i just -- i have to take things slow . i need to make sure that this is for real . wyatt : sally , i 'm not just -- i 'm not someone that you just met . we lived together . we were seriously involved . sally : yeah , i know , and that 's exactly why i wan na be careful . you know , i wan na protect whatever this is . i wan na make sure we do n't hurt each other again . wyatt : i - i get that . sally : do you ? 'cause i still have n't totally recovered from the last time you dumped me . look , i think we just need to earn each other 's trust again . i just ca n't forget that you broke up with me and ran right back to your high school sweetheart . wyatt : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] shauna : he surprised me , that 's for sure . i mean , who would have thought ridge forrester would have such a big heart ? flo : mom , he -- he did n't agree to the deal because of me . he did it for thomas . shauna : well , i 'd like to think i made a little bit of an impact . i did beg him for mercy . flo : his back was up against the wall , mom . he -- he did n't ... shauna : mm , ridge could have fought it and tied things up legally , and he did not . and that says a lot . flo : well , detective sanchez was on to thomas . i mean , i told you he was asking all these questions about him , and his whole involvement in everything , and he asked me about emma 's death . and i ... told him that we all think thomas probably had something to do with it . shauna : well , regardless of why ridge agreed to let you go , he , uh , he did come through for us . and i will always be so appreciative to him . but there 's gon na be one person who wo n't be , and that 's his wife . [ scene_break ] brooke : you let her go ? ridge : flo being on trial could have been a disaster for thomas . brooke : [ scoffs ] i ca n't believe you , ridge . that woman was one of the main people involved in the plot to steal beth from hope . ridge : that woman is your niece . brooke : yes , she is , and she committed a crime against my daughter and against your daughter , but you 're more concerned about thomas . ridge : what i 'm concerned about is that he does n't get caught up in some legal drama . brooke : he lied , ridge . he knew the truth about beth . he could have ended my daughter 's suffering , but he chose not to . he put himself in this position . now he has to pay for it . ridge : okay . i 'm ... [ sighs ] brooke : what ? everybody involved in this mess is going to have to pay , ridge . that should be our main priority . we need to look out for beth and hope . ridge : okay , my main priority is my son . he made a mistake . but now he does n't need to go to prison . he needs our help . he needs to talk to his family . he needs to be reunited with his son . brooke : so what ? so what , life is just gon na go back like normal ? no ! i mean , it 's appalling enough that you let flo walk out of jail . i mean , that 's ridiculous . just wait till hope and liam and your daughter find out about this . but if you think i 'm gon na let thomas waltz back in this house like nothing happened , there is no way . there is no way . [ scene_break ] shauna : well , i imagine that hope and brooke will be shocked when they learn you are out of jail . flo : hmph . yeah . i mean , ca n't imagine they 're gon na be too thrilled . shauna : well , maybe at first . flo : mom , come on . what -- what i did , it 's not something that they can just ... shauna : honey , reese pressured you into this . by the time you learned what you were doing , it was too late . flo : mom , i do n't wan na -- i do n't wan na go over this again . we both know that i had so many chances to tell hope the truth , and i did n't . i would n't blame her and her whole family if they never wanted to speak to me again . shauna : that is not how this is gon na end . flo : mom ... shauna : no , you need to listen to me . i am gon na help you get through to them so that they can see how remorseful you are , how sorry you are . you 're a good person . you 're their family . and you know what ? hope has beth back , and that 's all that truly matters . and we are not gon na stop until they forgive you -- the logans and the forresters . flo : yeah , well , i 'm not gon na really hold my breath for that happening . shauna : well , whatever you do , you need to stay positive , and you know what ? that goes for your relationship with wyatt , too . flo : mom -- shauna : do n't give up on him . no . i know he was upset when he found out , honey , but he loves you . and you love him . and i actually think you need to go see him . [ scene_break ] wyatt : look , i 'm -- i 'm not the best in dealing with difficult situations . all right ? i - i shut down , and then i turn and run the other direction . sally : look , we both made mistakes . okay ? i think we can agree on that . wyatt : yeah , we -- we both messed up . but i wan na move on from that . i 'm -- i 'm fine with you testing my commitment and putting me through the ringer . sally : and making your life a living hell ? wyatt : i said i 'm fine with all of it . sally : okay , just checking . wyatt : kay ? because you 're worth it . all right ? and i -- and i want you to be with me . i want you to be by my side .. sally : am . i 'm here . i am . i 'm here . wyatt : no , i want more than that . i think maybe it 's time that you -- maybe , i do n't know -- come back to the beach . you know , move back in and -- sally : look , wyatt , that 's a really nice offer . i -- wyatt : i 'm serious , sally . i do n't wan na play games anymore . i - i wan na be with you . sally : and i want that , too , wyatt . wyatt : so then what are we waiting for ? sally : me . i 'm just not there yet . okay ? i need to take things slow . please just be patient .

[ scene_break ] brooke : thomas needs to move out . he needs to be away from douglas . ridge : needs to move out ? he ... he has n't even left the hospital yet , and now you 're gon na throw him out of the house ? brooke : i 'm happy that he 's making a full recovery . ridge : [ scoffs ] brooke : i just do n't want him here . i do n't want him around . ridge : okay , all right . can we just take a breath ? i understand that there 's a trust issue right now . he 's a young man . he made a mistake . you 've known him since he was a little kid . that 's my boy . we got ta be rational about this . brooke : my god . you do n't get it . ridge : or maybe you do n't get it . what happened with hope and liam -- that 's nothing to do with thomas . he found out about buckingham much later . brooke : but he did n't do anything to put a stop to it . ridge : okay , he did n't do anything . he made a mistake . so we 'll figure that out as a family . we 'll try to help him . brooke : ridge , i do n't even know if that 's possible . most of the family does n't even wan na have anything to do with him . ridge : okay , so we got ta work on that . we got ta work on healing relationships , starting with thomas and douglas . brooke : no . absolutely not . not until thomas has his head screwed on straight , until he can prove that he can be a decent enough father , if that day ever comes . and until then , i am gon na do everything i can to protect douglas , and hope -- she 's as determined to protect him as i am . ridge : i 'm sorry . you know this has nothing to do with you or hope . this is not your decision . what that little boy needs is to be with his father . brooke : no , ridge , i do n't want him here . i do n't want him on this property . ridge : this is where he lives . this is his house . brooke : i can have his bags packed . he 's not allowed on the premises . ridge : are you kidding me right now ? what did this ... there 's nothing , right ? no sympathy , no forgiveness ? brooke : no , he has n't earned it ! ridge : how ? how ? you have n't given him the chance . brooke : oh , my god . i 've given him so many friggin ' chances ! [ breathing heavily ] i 've forgiven him one too many times ! ridge : and he 's forgiven you for pushing him off a cliff ! brooke : are you serious ? you know that was an accident . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : oh , my god . i do n't want to be in this position , ridge . i do n't ! but thomas has put me here with his manipulation and his aggression and his obsession ! i ca n't forgive him . i ca n't forgive somebody who lied about beth to my daughter . i ca n't forgive a man who used his own son to get what he wants ! ridge : you know what else you ca n't do ? you ca n't keep douglas from thomas . brooke : oh , yes , i can . i can , and i will . | ridge comes home and brooke greets him with how is thomas . something else on his mind , he says he is fine , being released today . she says she is glad , he must be relieved . then he drops the bombshell on her that flo also is being released . all charges have been dropped . brooke does not know how that is even possible . then she really does not understand that sanchez ran it past ridge and he agreed because it helped thomas . she rants that sorry but thomas needs to pay .everybody in this mess needs to pay . ridge counters that his son made a mistake but he does not belong in prison . she says just wait until hope and steffy find out about this , there is no way they will forgive him . shauna and flo go back to her place , so glad to get home and take a shower and eat her favorite foods and sleep in her own bed . shauna keeps saying she is so surprised that ridge had such a big heart that he agreed to her release . flo says he did not do it for her ; he did it for thomas . shauna says she knows but she would like to think some of it had to do with her ; she did beg for flo 's mercy . flo says she imagines hope and others will never want to see her again . she does not want to talk about this anymore . they both know she had many chances and blew them all . shauna keeps telling her she needs to stay positive . the forrester 's and logan 's are family . and she needs to get back in touch with wyatt again . ridge and brooke go at it tooth and nail . she does not want thomas coming back here . it would not be fair to hope . hope loves douglas and so does she and now douglas has to be their number one concern . he needs to be away from thomas . sally drops in on wyatt and comments he cleans up well and looks so sexy in his suit . one thing leads to another and soon he is wanting to ramp up their relationship . he says he is no longer playing games and he thinks it is perhaps time for her to move back to the beach with him . as lovely as that sounds she says she wants to take it a little slower than that . she was hurt when he dumped her before and she wants to be sure this is real . wyatt is not happy but he has to accept that . |

( laughs ) eric : ashley , my son is trustworthy . he 's not -- he 's not taking you on some sort of a ride . ashley : ( sighs ) eric : i 'm sure he 's fallen for you . ashley : maybe he 's fallen for me , but has he fallen out of love with brooke ? eric : i like you , ashley . i - i respect you . i want to be candid with you . ashley : please be candid . it 's okay . eric : ( laughs ) for many , many years now , stephanie has tried everything she can possibly do to keep the two apart , and she 's been un -- unsuccessful . i believe those two are destined for each other . ed : ( sighs ) miss simpson , this is mr. forrester , the man i told you about when we spoke . ridge : miss simpson . miss simpson : hi . ridge : thank you for coming . miss simpson : no offense , but i just stopped by to get mr. johnson 's phone so i could put it in the box with the rest of his things . the partners are putting together a memorial service , so i -- ed : miss simpson , i realize that this is a very difficult time . miss simpson : it was horrible the way he died . ed : mr. forrester was there when the accident took place . miss simpson : oh , my god . on the roof ? so you -- you saw when he -- ridge : yeah . and it 's not an image i 'll easily forget . miss simpson : he was electrocuted here , right ? on top of this building ? ridge : yeah . miss simpson : ( sighs ) he used to come here after work sometimes . i can see why . café russe -- good place to meet women . uh , i do n't know why i just said that . ed : i take it your boss was single ? miss simpson : uh , divorced . ed : any family ? miss simpson : no one he ever talked about . one of the partners is looking into it in case anyone needs to be notified . so what it said in the paper about how he died , was that all there was ? i mean , is that the real reason you wanted to see me ? ridge : we 're trying to find out as much as we can about andy johnson . you were his personal secretary , right ? miss simpson : correct . ed : nice guy to work for ? miss simpson : he was well - liked . ed : by you ? miss simpson : what do you mean ? ed : oh . did you like andy as a person ? did you enjoy working for him ? miss simpson : i -- he -- look , if i tell you this , i do n't want it to come back to me . ridge : miss simpson , whatever you tell us will stay here . i give you my word on that . miss simpson : andy johnson was a pig . i could n't stand him . always making lewd remarks about the way i dress and how i walk . it was disgusting . i never complained because i did n't want to make waves . it was a really good job , otherwise . but i ... well , i turned down the overtime because i did n't want to work alone with him at night . i was afraid what he might do . ed : so you were playing it safe ? miss simpson : ( scoffs ) put it this way . i got passed up for a promotion twice because i absolutely refused to work late . i wo n't say that i 'm glad he 's dead , but it will be a relief not to have to see his face anymore . ridge : i 'm , uh , sorry for what he , uh -- what he put you through , miss simpson . miss simpson : eileen . and thank you . ridge : andy 's gone , but he , uh , victimized a very close friend of mine . eileen : ( sighs ) when you say `` victimized `` ... ( sighs ) was it a woman ? ridge : someone helped him get to her . they , uh , fed him information that made her very vulnerable . ed : we believe that person , his accomplice , might be listed in andy 's cell phone . but it 's locked , and we do n't have a password . we thought you might know it . ridge : unfortunately , uh , we ca n't bring andy to justice the way i 'd like to , but whoever helped him is still out there . they obviously do n't have any scruples or any conscience at all . will you help me find out who that is before someone else gets hurt ?

[ door opens ] brooke : i know you 're busy . i 'll only be a minute . katie : actually , um , i 'm glad you 're here . brooke : you are ? katie : yeah . i , um -- i have some news . brooke : what about ? katie : me . i 've made some plans . brooke : so , you 've made some plans ? katie : yes . would you like to hear them ? brooke : sure . katie : i 'm leaving town . brooke : oh . katie : it 's business , but it will free you and bill up to do whatever it is ... you do . brooke : katie ... katie : that 's really all i wanted to tell you . i just wanted you to know . brooke : so , bill 's going to be watching will . katie : oh , no . no , i 'm taking will with me . brooke : how long are you gon na be gone ? katie : indefinitely . brooke : what ? katie : i 'm carving out a life for myself , brooke -- for me and for my son . i 'll still be running the company , of course . brooke : uh , from where ? katie : somewhere else . anywhere but here . liam : so , quite the performance earlier with wyatt . hope : mm , well , i meant what i said . liam : yeah , i think we both got that . hope : [ sighs ] will you please try and work things out with wyatt ? just make an attempt . liam : no ! hope : it is non - negotiable . liam : we 'd get along better if you guys did n't have to work together . hope : well , you do n't have to see him . liam : and that is getting along . hope : no . liam : uh - huh . hope : no , it 's not . that 's not how brothers get along . liam : well , that 's just , like , your opinion . hope : it is my opinion , and because i 'm a woman , it 's the only one that matters . liam : you 're feisty . hope : do you like it ? 'cause you 're gon na see a lot more of it . liam : this is how it 's gon na be from now on ? hope : yeah . liam : this ? hope : yeah . still want to marry me ? liam : yup . hope : good . patch things over with wyatt . please . for me . wyatt : [ sighs ] bill : what 's with the attitude ? you have a problem ? wyatt : yeah , i have a problem with you walking out on another son ! you have this incredible wife -- a smart , beautiful woman -- but that 's not enough for you . you got to go and have her sister , too ? what , did you get tired ? you want a blonde now ? is that it ? how selfish can you be ? ! [ knock on door ] wyatt : dad . bill : at ease . wyatt : i did n't expect to see you . bill : i was hoping to see you or at least get a call . wyatt : i owed you that , i guess . bill : yeah , you did . wyatt : come on . let me have it . i got it coming , right ? bill : no . no , i 'm not gon na do that . i 'm not gon na treat you the way you treated me , even though you deserve it . that 's not the way a son speaks to his father , wyatt . wyatt : i know . i know . i was ... totally off - base . bill : and i overreacted . i 've said some things that i should n't have in my day , or would n't have if i gave it a moment 's thought . you said what you felt needed to be said . the problem is you got caught up in your anger . and i know all about that . [ chuckles ] do n't ever lay a hand on me again . wyatt : it wo n't happen again . bill : you were standing up for an innocent child . i respect that . it says a lot about you as a man . that 's what you should have done . it 's what i would expect you to do as a spencer , as a member of my family . it 's done . forgotten . i would appreciate it if we could give this another shot . so , what do you say , son ? | hope tells wyatt that he is joking , of course . he 's playing with her . he says no , when she wears that dress that he plans to be right beside her as the groom . she says he is crazy . and they wo n't discuss wyatt wearing a tux . he jokes that he seems to remember reading that the last time liam showed up in his shorts and a mohawk . liam shows up and the guys have a little playful banter about if wyatt can keep up with the schedule . he says yes but it would help if he had an office here close to hope . liam counters that hope might be working from home so they can plan their wedding . wyatt has a comeback for that too what wedding ? brooke tells bill this is not about pride or who goes to whom first , it 's about getting the family back together . and she thinks wyatt knows now that bill will not abandon will no matter what happens with katie . he realizes brooke thinks that he was too harsh on wyatt and he really needs to have another talk with him and straighten this out . he tells brooke that he sees things more clearly now and even with katie he hopes all of this will work out . he wants to be as close to wyatt as he is to liam so close he wo n't even notice he 's not living in the same house . he wants to offer wyatt a job until brooke tells him about his new partnership with hope . |
wyatt : whoa . dude , i 'm not taking anything from you . liam : yeah , especially not my house . wyatt : technically , it 's not your house . it 's dad 's . liam : wyatt , you really think dad is gon na kick me out ? wyatt : i 'm not out to get you , liam . this is n't part of some kind of conspiracy to ruin your life . hope and i just need a bigger place . liam : oh , yeah , yeah . and , magically , it has to be this one . you did n't even want ' bu around , because he reminds hope of our life together ! and now suddenly you want an entire house full of those memories ? wyatt : you know , this may be hard for you to believe , but we 're gon na fill it with our own . liam : oh -- [ scene_break ] ivy : i do n't see why this has become such an issue for us . hope , we do amazing work together . we want the same thing for liam , so i do n't know why we have to be at odds with each other . hope : neither do i . if you can agree with me that liam needs to take some time . ivy : look , i obviously do n't know the liam you know , but the guy who jumped in the river to save me did n't seem to have a problem with making quick decisions . [ scene_break ] quinn : here . bill : what 's that ? quinn : my way of saying `` thank you . `` drink it . bill : i 'll pass . quinn : you are still keeping my secret , right ? bill : only because stirring up everything is n't going to benefit anyone .

[ scoffs ] charlie , she was n't even in paris . was she ? charlie : that 's what i 'm trying to find out . and if she was , there will be a record of it . and , pammy , that could change everything . pam : [ scoffs ] i do n't know , charlie . it 's a little crazy . charlie : yeah , i know , but every time i think about ivy 's accident , i - i get a little hitch in my giddyup . and i just ca n't ignore it anymore . pam : how would quinn even know that liam was going to paris ? charlie : i do n't know , pammy . i 'm just working on a hunch here . it could turn out to be nothing . but do n't tell me quinn is n't capable of this , because we both know she is . pam : yeah . [ cell phone chimes ] charlie : there it is . pam : what ? did you find something ? charlie : it 's a customs document . pam : [ gasps ] charlie : i knew it . pam : charlie ! you were right ! charlie : quinn went through customs the same day ivy did her nosedive into the seine . the dates and the times are right there . pam : but , charlie , wait , wait , wait , hold on , hold on . it still does n't prove that she had anything to do with ivy 's fall . charlie : yeah , well , lucky for us , big cities are full of cameras . and if quinn was anywhere in that area , i got somebody that can find it . pam : you do ? charlie : yeah . [ scene_break ] quinn : i 'm not ashamed of what i did , bill . bill : you just do n't want anyone to know what you did . quinn : if i had n't pushed ivy off that bridge , our son might not be where he is right now . bill : wyatt 's married to hope because she accepted his proposal . you put him in the position to make the offer . that 's the only reason i 'm keeping your secret . not because i approve of what you did . quinn : who knew you were such a romantic ? [ scene_break ] ivy : you can tell a lot about a person by the decisions they make . hope : yeah . i agree . ivy : liam made a decision when he jumped in the water to save me . and that choice told me a lot about the kind of man he is . you know , you made a decision that day , too , hope . when liam did n't arrive on time , you left with wyatt , and then you married him . hope : which tells you what ? ivy : it tells me that you must love wyatt very much . hope : yeah , i do . ivy : it 's only right to let liam move on , too . [ scene_break ] liam : you just do not know when to give up , do you ? wyatt : never really worked for me . liam : what is it exactly , wyatt ? is it insecurity ? is it greed ? getting your job back at forrester and marrying hope was n't enough for you ? wyatt : no , it was n't . hope and i have bigger plans for our life , and this is just the beginning . liam : and these `` big plans , `` have you happened to mention them to hope ? the house , the family ? wyatt : come on , liam ! you ca n't see a bunch of kids having breakfast at that table or running around outside in that backyard ? this place is perfect for us , liam , and you might not think so , but hope will . and -- and i really think she 's gon na be excited about it .

[ scene_break ] quinn : i took a big risk telling you the truth . bill : do n't expect me to be flattered . quinn : i did n't think you 'd be so touchy about it . bill : i do n't have a problem with secrets , quinn . but your manipulation is going to stop . [ scene_break ] wyatt : that 's a pensive look . hope : sure is . [ chuckles ] wyatt : yeah ? maybe there 's something i can do to change that . hope : hmm . [ sighs ] wyatt : everything all right ? hope : now it is . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , you and ivy seemed to be getting along when i left . uh , take a turn for the worse ? hope : hmm , things got a little bumpy . wyatt : ah . heavy terrain . hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : yeah , it sounds like you and i both kind of had the same day . hope : is it your mom ? wyatt : no , actually . hope : so , liam ? wyatt : well , you know , we kind of have to work some things out . hope : okay . but when you left before , you said you had some kind of a surprise ? wyatt : i did , did n't i ? hope : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ivy : sorry . the , uh , the door was unlocked . i hope you do n't mind . liam : uh ...

[ knocks on door ] steffy : figured whatever was gon na happen has happened by now . liam : you figured right . steffy : how 'd it go with your dad ? liam : as expected . steffy : [ gasps ] liam : and then some . steffy : oh , my god ! liam ! wyatt : hey , i -- oh . i , uh ... i thought you said now . justin : i was told now . liam : please . come on in . my better half just happened to show up after i paged you . jarrett : are we meeting without bill ? wyatt : what happened to your eye ? liam : just clumsy . wyatt : doing what ? liam : something i never tried before . justin : `` irresistible force meets immovable object `` kind of thing . jarrett : i got a bruise like that once in a bar in berlin . misunderstanding . liam : okay , guys , i did n't ask you here for a consultation about my face . you are the people most critical to the running of our l.a. operation . jarrett , can you close the door ? and your duties are about to change . mine , too . as of this morning , my father has resigned from spencer publications . bill : i 'm gon na sign your little paper , but i 'm not resigning . you should know me well enough , liam . i do n't get even with those who betray me . i decimate them . liam : but not today . brooke : bill ? something wrong ? bill : why does something have to be wrong ? brooke : you went to work and you came back in the middle of the day . is everything all right ? bill : i 've decided i needed a change . brooke : of what ? bill : of everything but you . i did what i said i was going to do . i took a leave of absence . bill : yeah , i know it sounds strange coming from me , but work 's been sort of grinding me down . you 're the one person who can build me up . brooke : okay , but i have n't taken a leave from my job . bill : am i asking you to ? brooke : no . i mean , time together sounds fabulous , it 's just ... i 'm surprised , that 's all . i 've never known you to walk away from work . so , who 's gon na run the company while you 're gone ? bill : liam . jarrett : resigned ? wyatt : excuse me , but , uh , yeah , right . liam : well , dad 's calling it temporary . justin : a leave of absence ? liam : yeah . he 's stressed and making some erratic decisions . wyatt : he runs on stress . i mean come on . liam ... you must have got it wrong . liam : his letter of resignation . wyatt : why would he say something to you and not me ? liam : because he 's making me c.e.o . wyatt : something 's not right here . liam : i can appreciate it if you need a minute to adjust your thinking . just do n't be surprised when you start getting memos in your inbox about the new business plan . wyatt : our one and only business plan is to make money . liam : yes , and i have a different vision of how to do that . wyatt : this is dad 's company , not yours . steffy : okay , maybe you should talk to bill . wyatt : my next stop . where is he ? liam : at home with his wife , i imagine . that 's kind of the point . wyatt : wow . there is no way that he left this company like this . oh , and do n't get too comfortable in that chair . brooke : i thought it would take decades for you to retire . bill : who said i was retiring ? brooke : you did n't say anything about anything . you just said you 're taking a leave and liam 's taking over . bill : right . liam . brooke : do your trust him ? bill : i used to . brooke : you believe he can do the job ? you don't . bill : well , a fact is a fact no matter who believes it , and the fact is that liam is running spencer publications . brooke : so , explain that to me . wyatt : yeah , maybe you can explain that to me , too . jarrett : what an opportunity . i 've always appreciate your more humanistic style . if there 's any way i can help ... liam : thank you , jarrett . thank you . hey , jarrett . on your way out , would you tell alison i 'd like my father 's things packed up and out of here ? jarrett : right . liam : thanks . justin , can you shut the door ? with you on this side of it . i 've never trusted you . justin : most people don't . liam : but i realize you know more about the running of this company than anyone but my father . justin : what would you like to know ? liam : what to do with you , for starters . i could have you arrested , of course . that 's okay . steffy knows that you and my father had spectra set on fire . i imagine he left the details to you , but then i do have a recording of him admitting everything . i 'm sure you know that . i could use that recording to put you away , but that would implicate my father , and i already have an arrangement with him . i 'm sure you know that , as well . so , justin , what am i going to do with you ? justin : keep me on . liam : you have displayed unfailing loyalty to my dad , loyalty to a fault . justin : it made me a very wealthy man . liam : what would it take for you to redirect that loyalty to me ? justin : keeping that recording to yourself . that was decent of you . i did n't want to go along with dollar bill 's plan . it was mean , it was overkill . but serving spencer publications is what i do . it 's how i made me , me . liam : well , i wo n't ask you to do anything illegal . justin : i 'm a fixer . if something 's broke , i figure out how to fix it . liam : but i do expect the same unquestioning loyalty you gave to my father . justin : keep signing my checks and you have it . liam : if i ever find out you try to undermine me ... justin : like i said , liam ... serving spencer publications is what i do , and as of today , that means you . liam : well , you can start by greasing the wheels to a smooth transition . justin : i 'm on it . steffy : now that was a high - wire act . liam : [ scoffs ] steffy : i never knew you had talent like that . liam : well , thankfully , i wo n't have to be a hardass all the time . i really think i can do good things here , steffy . steffy : does it hurt ? liam : oh , you mean , being assaulted by my father ? hey , he always said he 'd leave his mark on me . steffy : you could n't have possibly thought it was gon na go well . liam : it 's behind me now . steffy : i 'm not too sure about that . he 's your father , and that does n't just go away . liam : well , most rough patches between fathers and sons do . steffy : i love your optimism . but do not underestimate your father . he 's like a wounded lion right now . and when he feels betrayed , he hits back . bill : i 'm not going to be challenged on every decision i make ! wyatt : all right , i take it you had no idea this was coming , either . brooke : your father said he was gon na take some time off . wyatt : `` time off . `` you do n't even know , like , what `` time off `` means ! bill : look , you were a newlywed for a minute ! wyatt : oh ... bill : did n't you ever want to play hooky and spend every second with your bride ? wyatt : why liam ? bill : he 's been with the company longer . wyatt : you -- you do n't even agree on anything ! acquisitions and policy ... we always do ! we like to make money ! he likes to give it away ! bill : i guess we 're gon na find out which way works best , wo n't we ? wyatt : why not me , dad ? why not both of us ? we work well together ! bill : i had my reasons . wyatt : what reasons are you talking about here ? bill : i do n't have to explain myself to you or anyone . i did what was best for all concerned . and it 's only temporary . wyatt : until what ? [ cellphone rings ] bill : i have to take this . wyatt : so much for your `` leave of absence . `` bill : believe me when i tell you this is how it has to be , wyatt . now get out of here . brooke : let me walk you out . wyatt : do n't worry . bill : i 'm here . justin : liam called a meeting . jarrett , myself , and wyatt before he stormed out . bill : he did n't fire you , did he ? justin : no . you guessed right about that . bill : of course not . he needs you . justin : he demanded a loyalty pledge . bill : you better have given it to him . justin : without hesitation . bill : good . i want to know about personnel changes , any major acquisitions , anything of significance . justin : of course , dollar bill , of course . bill : you 're a good man , justin . i 'll be in touch . [ door closes ] sorry about that . brooke : [ scoffs ] how could you speak to your own son that way ? bill : he has n't earned the right to challenge me . brooke : yeah , he was born with it ! bill , he was shocked to find out that you 're gone and he 's gon na be answering to his own brother . i mean , i was . he 's hurt . he 's blindsided . you really do n't need to be so harsh . bill : you do n't have to -- you do n't have to tell me i 'm not handling this well , brooke . brooke : i know . you are so tense . we really do need to take a trip . just go out there on the stella maris and get away from it all . you do n't seem so happy about that . but maybe i could help , hmm ? bill : i know i can get myself right , as long as i have you . brooke : so , malta ? algiers , maybe ? for a couple of weeks , couple of months ? bill : how about indefinitely ? not long enough ? brooke : um , that raises one red flag too many . liam : he called me a traitor . steffy : well , by his definition , you are . liam : [ scoffs ] he also said he would decimate me . am i naive for thinking that someday he 'll be proud of me for what i believe i can pull off here ? steffy : you know bill always carries a grudge . liam : fine . so be it . i 'm not doing this for affirmation . what matters is running this company well and fairly . and having you by my side . if i can claim those two things , his thunderbolts ca n't touch me . brooke : i know there 's something you 're not telling me . i also know that whatever it is , it 's something you feel very tender about . so i think i 'm making it worse by talking . i 'm gon na just shut up . i got to get to work anyway . bill : hey . i do n't want you to think i do n't trust you . brooke : no , i do n't think that . and i just want you to know that you can tell me anything . but i want you to tell me on your schedule . not mine . bill : i love you . brooke : is this leave of absence something you definitely need to do ? bill : yes . brooke : love you . liam : knocking 's good . wyatt : you know , acting all territorial does n't it make your territory . you do move fast , do n't you ? liam : [ sighs ] how 'd it go with dad ? wyatt : he 's in one of his `` ask me no questions , i 'll tell you no lies `` kind of moods . liam : oh , well , that 's to be expected . wyatt : what are you pulling here , bro ? liam : what are you asking me , bro ? wyatt : i do n't know . it 's like something out of a costume drama . son deposes king , murders the heir apparent , takes the throne for himself . liam : you do n't look murdered to me . wyatt : [ scoffs ] yeah . dad looks slightly murdered . liam : well , he 's bound to have a period of adjustment . meanwhile , i 'm expeditiously moving forward , as authorized . wyatt : wow . i do n't think i 've ever seen this in you before . liam : what ? wyatt : stone coldheartedness . it 's the exact same thing you used to call dad out for . liam : nothing wrong with being ruthless for the right reasons , is there ? wyatt : right . how -- how did you get that bruise again ? liam : i told you . wyatt : clumsiness . yeah . you said . liam : but i 'm more careful now . [ door opens ] bill : hey , fiona ! did n't i have two of these boxes ? i can only find one . steffy : i 'm not your maid . bill : if you 're here for a piece of me , there 's not much left . steffy : you hit your son . you made a fist and you hit him as hard as you could . and do n't even say liam sent me here to fight his battles ! he does n't even know i 'm here or how appalled i am at you ! if you were angry with your son , you use your words , bill , not your fists ! bill : use my words ? i used my words ! he did n't listen to one of them ! he pushed me too hard , steffy . he must really hate my guts now . steffy : you know ... he 's still hoping that you 're gon na be proud of him someday . something inside of him broke . it 's like a wall went up that was n't there before . so , this is what you 've been doing on your leave of absence , watching , uh , movies ? bill : my father made this , uh , video . he wanted me to watch it after he died . you know , i promised myself i would never be anything like him . of course , the promises you make yourself are the first ones broken . i 'm a bigger bastard than he ever was . so , yeah ... i know all about that wall . my life seems to be spinning out of control , and i ca n't let that happen , steffy . i hit my son . [ voice breaking ] i hit my son . will you tell him i 'm sorry ? will you do that ? steffy : all right . we 're gon na work things out , okay ? i am a spencer , and this is my family , too , and i 'm not gon na let this fall apart . you 're gon na get through this . we 're gon na get through this . we 're gon na get through this , okay ? we 're gon na get through this . | everybody descends on liam about the same time . first steffy comes in and is shocked at the bruised look of his face but before she can say anything wyatt , jarrett and justin come in . liam tells them to close the door . as of this moment his dad has signed papers and is no longer ceo ; he will be running the company . wyatt is shocked and says something is wrong here . this is bill 's company not liam 's and there is no way he would have left it like this so do not get too comfortable in that chair . he charges out . brooke is surprised to see bill at home but he says he is doing what he said he would do . he is taking a leave of absence . he tells brooke that liam will be running spencer publications . he used to trust liam , now he is not so sure . wyatt walks in and says perhaps he can explain that to him too why he left the company in his charge . liam has justin stay while the others go and says he knows he has been unfailingly loyal to his father to a fault . he expects that same loyalty as well . justin repeats again that he works for spencer publications as a fixer , that is who makes him who he is . so as of now that means he will do the same for liam . liam tells justin to tell alison to pack up all of bill 's things and get them out of the office . |

princess : i am very , very impressed . thorne : i 'm glad that you like them . princess : you know , it 's amazing to me . you have accomplished so much in such a short time here at spectra . but perhaps i should n't be surprised . after all , you are your father 's son . thorne : yes , i am . princess : i would be very pleased and very proud to wear the blue gown to my opening . thorne : thank you , your highness . princess : thank you . and congratulations . i 'll be in touch . thorne : clarke will show you to your car . princess : thank you . darla : you did it , honey . baby , you did it ! thorne : well , we 're off to a good start . but we still have a long ways to go to prove ourselves to forrester and to the rest of the world . but we will . we will . brooke : r.j . needed a nightcap . ridge : i could use one myself . brooke : why ? bad news ? `` spectra couture kicks off new collection . `` they changed their name ? ridge : knowing thorne , it probably tested better . 7 out of 10 people preferred `` couture `` over `` fashions . `` brooke : well , it 's still spectra . ridge : you know , they 're showing their collection two weeks before we do . brooke : what collection ? ridge : yeah , that 's what i was wondering , too . brooke : well , i guess they could have been working on something before thorne came on board . ridge : they could 've stolen something before he came on board , you mean . maybe even after . brooke : now that would be sad to think that thorne would stoop so low . ridge : how else is he going to compete with us ? brooke : well , they ca n't , really . spectra does n't have the resources . ridge : but they might have the fabric . brooke : what ? ridge : suddenly , all the vendors we 've been dealing with are coming up with nothing but excuses . companies we 've been dealing with for decades are saying they ca n't meet our needs . brooke : so you think thorne bought it all up ? why would he want to do that ? why would he want first - class fabric for second - rate knockoffs ? ridge : i 'm not even going to try to figure that guy out now . brooke : poor baby . you have so much to worry about . ridge : i 'm not worried about thorne . but i am still worried about amber and thomas . brooke : well , that 's over the second lieutenant baker delivers that restraining order . ridge : yeah . that 's not gon na be too soon for me . thomas : what ? amber : you used to be such a good boy . thomas : well , i 'm still good . just not a boy anymore . amber : you deserve so much better . thomas : right . why waste such a precious experience on somebody i 'm totally into ? amber : you know what i 'm talking about . thomas : but it 's not you talking . it 's my dad and my grandma . thomas : would you forget about my dad ? all that matters is how i see you . you 've got to know how incredible i think you are . now what ? amber : no , no , i was just -- i was thinking . you know , for so long , i blamed myself . i blamed myself for screwing up something that was supposed to be , that was meant to be -- rick and me . but maybe i was wrong . maybe it was n't meant to be , maybe -- maybe there was a reason why it did n't work out between us . thomas : maybe there was . [ knock on door ] lt . baker : amber moore . this is your old friend , lt . baker . open up . [ knock on door ] lt . baker : come on , amber , open up . i know you 're in there . amber : your dad called the cops . thomas : it 's not a crime -- amber : then , what does he want ? thomas : let 's ask him -- amber : no , no , no ! you go hide . go , go ! go ! hurry ! go ! [ knocking ] amber : i 'm coming ! wait . what 's the big idea ? i 'm trying to sleep . lt . baker : i got a call from ridge forrester . he 's concerned about his son . amber : so ? lt . baker : have you seen thomas lately ? amber : what is this , some kind of shake down , huh ? ridge sends his cop buddies over to scare me ? do you have a warrant , lt . baker ? because i do n't remember inviting you into my room . lt . baker : we wo n't be staying . amber : what 's this ? cop : a restraining order . amber : you 've got to be kidding . lt . baker : given your history of defiance and reckless behavior , the judge felt a restraining order was the best way to ensure thomas 's safety . now , you will be held in contempt if you go anywhere near thomas , his home , his school , forrester creations . you can read it for yourself . the bottom line is this -- you wan na stay out of jail , stay away from the boy . thomas : this is insane ! give me that . amber : is it for real ? thomas : amber , i 'm sorry . i thought since i was 18 , there was nothing they could do . amber : so i could go to jail just by being in the same room with you . [ amber sighs ] well , i wonder what would happen if i did this . brooke : you think thomas knows about the restraining order yet ? ridge : oh , i think he 'll be the first person that she contacts . brooke : he 's gon na be so furious with you . ridge : i can live with that . what i ca n't live with is her weaving another web , trying to trap my son . at least i 'll know he 's finally free of her . brooke : and then you 'll be free to focus on this situation with thorne . ridge : you 're worried about him ? i thought you said he could n't compete with us . [ brooke sighs ] brooke : well , i have no idea what he 's up to . but he certainly is n't one to bluff . i think he may have an ace in the hole . ridge : well , why do n't we just find out what that is then . [ cell phone rings ] thorne : thought i might hear from you . ridge : it 's a nice picture . thorne : thank you . listen , if you 're calling for tickets , i 'm sorry , but we 're all booked up . ridge : no , i 'm gon na be really , really busy myself . getting ready for the most successful showing forrester 's ever had . thorne : yeah ? well , good luck with that . ridge : there 's no way you can compete with us , thorne . it 's pointless , what you 're doing . keep going like this , nobody 's gon na win . thorne : oh , somebody always wins , ridge . this time , it 's gon na be me . | thorne takes another step in securing spectra 's future . the name has changed to spectra couture . they secure an order from a princess , that insures they will be seen by royalty . an article runs in a major magazine announcing the introduction of a new collection by spectra . the article draws the attention of ridge and brooke . brooke and ridge also continue to worry about the thomas and amber situation . lieutenant baker delivers the restraining order to amber as thomas hides in the closet . the restraining order does n't dampen the make- out sessions between amber and thomas . |

( scoffs ) who could feel sorry for me ? rick : okay , i 'm gon na take you back a little bit here . i - i do n't have a track record . i have taste . i 'm actually kind of a snob that way . regardless of age , older , younger , it does n't matter . i focus on the woman , not the number . jackie : well , i think you 're a very sweet and very well - meaning boy . and i have a number for you . zero . that is how much chance there is of owen leaving me for bridget , and for their sake , i am not going to mention this to them , because today is a very happy day , and i want it to remain that way . hello , darlings . you 're back . bridget : oh , yeah . rick , what are you doing here ? i thought you left with mom . jackie : oh , actually , he ... rick : ( clears throat ) jackie : came down because he wanted to congratulate me . was n't that sweet ? bridget : congratulate you ? jackie : mm . rick : yeah , you three on , you know , becoming one big happy family . ( chuckles ) bridget : oh . ( sighs ) rick : ( chuckles ) jackie : actually , the truth is , bridget , your brother does n't think it 's going to work . bridget : did he tell you that , jackie ? jackie : do n't get upset . rick : ( sighs ) jackie : he 's hardly the only one , is he ? bridget : well , i just thought i could expect a little more support from my big brother . rick : ( laughs ) you can always count on me . bridget : mm - hmm . jackie : is he awake ? bridget : barely . jackie : ( laughs ) you know , he 's just like his daddy . owen takes absolutely ages to wake up . bridget : ( chuckles ) owen : mm - hmm . oh . jackie : can i see the little cherub ? bridget : um ... owen : you know , jackie , if he really is like me , then he will get pretty cranky if he gets rushed . jackie : okay . ( chuckles ) bridget , thank you for bringing him down . thank you for sharing him with me . you seem tired . rick : well , i can stick around and help you out if you want . bridget : oh , rick , that 's so sweet , but honestly , i have all the help i need . logan : ( fusses ) owen : yeah , i mean , i think we 're gettin ' the hang of this whole thing . jackie : ( chuckles ) you 're both still on such a high , but i can see the adrenaline beginning to wane . logan : ( cries ) rick : ( chuckles ) jackie : you wait till sleep deprivation kicks in . ugh . bridget : the superhero here delivered little one , so i 'm sure he 'll be able to rock him back to sleep . rick : ( chuckles ) owen : yeah , little boy , or change his diaper . rick : hi . bridget : already ? owen : diaper bag ? bridget : upstairs . owen : all right . give him to me . i got him . bridget : you 're sure you want to change his diaper ? owen : yeah , absolutely . come on . bridget : all righty . well , hold on . owen : come on . come here , little logan . come on , buddy . i got you . bridget : aw . oh . logan : ( hiccups ) bridget : i 'll go with you . owen : no , no , no . stay here and say good - bye to rick . i got him . bridget : ( stammers ) owen : i got it . hey . bridget : this is your first time . i 'll go with you this time , and then you can change all the diapers you want . we 'll just be right back . owen : it 's a diaper . i can handle changing a diaper . bridget : well , i know , but , honey , it 's just ... jackie : ( chuckles ) owen : i 've changed diapers . jackie : what ? rick : just i - i told you so . jackie : ( scoffs ) rick : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] amber : if rick 's seeing someone on the sly , i 'm not gon na waste my time . brooke : i really do n't know if he 's seeing anybody . he would n't talk to me about his love life in high school , so why would he share anything with me now ? amber : maybe i should just ask bridget if she -- brooke : no . ( sighs ) no , do n't ask bridget . just leave her out of this . she does n't know what rick is up to . besides , she 's too busy trying to sort out her own life . amber : how 's that going for her ?

( laughs ) [ scene_break ] rick : as i was saying ... jackie : ( scoffs ) i should be worried because my husband wants to change his child 's diaper ? rick : did you see how bridget and owen were relating to each other ? jackie : oh , like parents . rick : there is a bond there . jackie : well , there had better be . let me tell you something , rick . i raised my son with a man who i did n't respect , a man who had absolutely no interest in being a good father to my child . i kept nicky 's real father in the dark . that was a mistake . but i did it out of fear and out of insecurity , and i do n't feel that way now . i am thrilled for owen and bridget . i want them to enjoy every tiny bit of this experience . rick : yes , that is the very essence of what i am trying to say . i want them to -- to enjoy that , too , but you -- you also deserve those incredible experiences . and if everything goes the way i think it will , then i would like to give those experiences to you . jackie : oh . absorbed into the body , [ scene_break ] owen : so what 's the verdict ? bridget : oh , well , very impressive . owen : yeah ? thank you . you know , if you want to give me a refresher next time logan needs to be changed , i would n't mind . bridget : ( sniffles ) eh , maybe i 'll just supervise . i 'll go sit over there on the couch , eat some bonbons , and i 'll let you do all the rough stuff . owen : sounds good . look , if you need anything , anything at all from me , i 'm here for you -- you and our son . bridget : ( sighs ) owen : what ? what is it ? bridget : maybe jackie had a point about that whole sleep deprivation thing . i do n't know . owen : well , i mean , come on . we 're both pretty emotional here . this is a pretty huge deal . bridget : i knew it would be . i thought i was so prepared . bridget : oh . i want to be a mom . ( sniffles ) i 'm so ready to be a mom . i said those words so many times , owen , to my family , to myself , and to god -- just so many prayers and fantasies . i daydreamed about you over a million times , oh , exactly how it would be , how it would happen , when it would happen . i just never expected it to happen like this with you . but when i think of the miracle of it all , everything happened exactly the way it was supposed to . and i believe that 100 % , because ... ( sniffles ) our child is here . he 's finally here . bridget : when i think about it all , and i 'm giving thanks for him , it just makes perfect sense . all those twists and turns ... all that pain and confusion ... if all of that led me to this , i do n't regret a single moment of any of it . [ scene_break ] jackie : perhaps i did n't make myself clear . rick : you really , really think that this is an act , that i 'm thinking about my sister right now ? jackie : uh , apparently not . rick : why have n't you thrown me out yet ? jackie : because you 're logan 's uncle , and i want to keep things amicable . rick : or is it possible that you 're just trying to keep your options open ? jackie : ( scoffs ) rick : all right , hypothetically , this situation with you and owen and bridget and the baby -- let 's say it all works out . jackie : mm . rick : then you and i can forget this conversation ever happened . but i personally do n't think that you can do that . jackie : ( sighs ) rick : look at me . look at me . your future is not with `` mr. cowabunga . `` jackie : ( sighs ) rick : no , you two are from different planets . yes , he 's -- he 's spoiled you . he 's catered to your every need . but he has a child now with another woman . you 're not exactly his priority anymore . and you deserve a man that is gon na be so completely and utterly devoted to you . and right now , you 're looking at that man . | jackie tells rick that he has a little bit of the devil in him . he reminds her just what owen and bridget look like together and she needs to be a little bit of a realist . jackie asks if he is offering one of his shoulders for her . he laments that he has shoulders just fine but he was thinking of other parts that might be of more interest to her . and he is interested in everything about her .from her world class sophistication , attitude , her perspective on the world .that 's what all young guys say about older women they are intrigued by , but not him . he just sees a woman .. smart , sexy , successful . she adds and married . yes he knows she is married to a young stud in the stable and he worships her and gives her everything her heart desires . and until yesterday she was the center of his universe , but that has changed now . he points out that her tub over there is her oasis ; everything happens there . but in a few weeks time , all of that will change and it will be riddled with floating rubber duckies and toys that spit water . her boy toy will be exchanging or turning in magnums of champagne for a formula of baby bottles . jackie tells him that owen is not exchanging anything or anyone so rick can stop his seduction routine as she does know a smoke screen when she sees one . amber speaks with brooke and comes right to the point . she wants to know if rick is available and if brooke can help her get re - acquainted with her son . she 's left messages for him and he has n't returned them . brooke tells her not to ask rick and not bridget either . she has her own problems and does n't need to be worried about rick . owen reveals to bridget that they have to stay grounded . their emotions can not get in the way . they will always be parents together , but he loves jackie .. she loves jackie and neither want to hurt her . she is going to be part of this . bridget agrees that none of this would be working without jackie being so agreeable . |

[ glasses clink ] wyatt : [ clears throat ] bill : i admire the stand you took , wyatt . and that kind of drive -- it 'll get you far . but you have to be able to focus it . you know , brooke helped me to see how similar we are . i know you have your issues with , uh , brooke , our relationship , the situation . wyatt : yeah , but she helped me see it , too . she gave me a better understanding about what happened with you and katie . and now you and i are talking again . i can see why you 're falling for her . brooke : i just wish you could see it from my point of view . katie : [ scoffs ] that 's what you do n't get . you can spin this however you want to . you can justify it to make yourself feel better , but i did not force you into my husband 's arms . i did not force you into bed with him . so tell yourself whatever you need to . but i do n't have to . i do n't have to have anything to do with you anymore . bill : so , you know what 's going on at spencer ? trust me when i tell you that katie is temporarily in charge . even with the current situation , i can hire who i choose . not that katie would necessarily have any issue with me bringing you on board . wyatt : wait , what ? bill : come work at spencer . wyatt : [ chuckles ] uh ... i 'd love to . seriously . uh ... just down the line . bill : why not now ? wyatt : well , things are starting to take off with mom 's business . i want to be here for her and help her . bill : the new contract with , uh , forrester , right ? hope for the future . wyatt : yeah . and i do n't mean to sound ungrateful . i would love the opportunity to work with you . but ... i made a commitment to hope . bill : a commitment to hope ? well ... you have to see that through . i respect that . wyatt : thank you . bill : this contract -- pretty big deal for your mom , is n't it ? wyatt : it 's huge . bill : you ready ? wyatt : yeah . oh , well , we will be . [ chuckles ] bill : i 'm sure you will . again , wyatt , thanks for sticking up for will . as misguided as you were , uh , i 'm proud of you . wyatt : you know , you could have decided to forget all about me . but instead you reached out . thank you for that . means a lot . finally getting to know my dad . maya : so , when 's rafael get here ? carter : what ? maya : well , you said we 're celebrating the success of the show , so ... the more , the merrier , right ? carter : well , i would normally say he could come , but ... i hear it 's a cast- only party . maya : [ gasps ] oh . carter : mm - hmm . maya : i see . carter : and it 's rehearsal , too . maya : we 're rehearsing ? carter : i told you we might get picked up for another season , so these candles , the champagne -- it 's all part of the script . maya : what script ? carter : the one i wrote . i took a stab at writing an episode . want to read it with me ? brooke : you 're never gon na see this the way bill and i do . katie : no , i wo n't . brooke : i just wish -- katie : no ! i wo n't . and i will never see you as the sister i loved , as someone i trusted . you ruined that . listen , you got what you wanted . bill moved into your house . and yet the crying continues . i 'm the one mourning my marriage , and you 're the one crying . stop crying and embrace who you are . bill : everything okay ? brooke : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] bill : we need to get past this . katie : well , apparently the two of you already have , but i do n't need to do anything . bill : can we talk like adults , like parents ? katie : what would you like to say ? bill : why do n't we do this at home ? katie : which home ? your home with brooke ? bill : our home , katie . i want to come over tonight and see will . katie : oh , i 'm afraid that wo n't be possible . bill : why ? katie : because will and i will be on a plane . we 're leaving l.a . bill : i 'm going to need a moment alone with katie . [ door opens ] bill : so , where do you think you 're going with will ? katie : does it matter ? bill : katie , you ca n't just leave town . and what about work ? katie : this is work . i 'm meeting karen at the new york office . i 'm going to tour it . bill : for how long ? katie : i do n't know . bill : what can i say to get through to you ? katie : nothing . i 'm leaving town with my son . i am going to run this company . i 'm going to live my life . i intend to be the most successful , powerful , independent woman i can be . i intend to have the life that i deserve -- without you . maya : `` six months from where we left them . `` carter : i did n't think season two should be a direct pick - up . i 'd like to see how lance and scarlett relate further in their relationship . maya : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . two scenes in and no fantasies ? i like . carter : [ chuckles ] yeah . no reason to fantasize . this is how we really feel about each other . went through a lot the first season . our relationship has changed . maya : where does it go from here ? carter : let 's read and find out . [ chuckles ] brooke : oh , sorry . oh , looking for liam ? he 's gone for the day . but this little guy and i are getting notes ready for tomorrow , huh ? i know ! [ chuckles ] brooke : may i ? oh , yeah . sure . i just picked him up from daycare . mommy 's office is our next stop . right , will ? brooke : well , i could take him to her . well , thanks . um , she should be ready soon . okay . brooke : [ smooches ] [ sighs ] the timing could n't be more perfect . bill : you trying to hurt me by leaving town with will ? katie : i was n't the perfect wife . i made mistakes . when i was ill , my depression fed my insecurities , and then you validated them . bill : by doing exactly what you wanted me to do . katie : when i was sick . it does n't really matter anymore . run off with brooke . i do n't really care . take her until she 's done with you , just the way i am . and then you 'll have what you deserve -- nothing . bill : it 's not a fling , katie . brooke and i are together . katie : it 's exciting , is n't it ? being with someone who finally understands you . someone who never says no . but when she moves on to the next guy -- and she always does -- maybe you 'll remember what you had . maybe you 'll appreciate me a little bit more . maybe you 'll want me back . maybe you 'll realize that i am the only one in your life who has ever truly been honest with you , who has ever pushed you to be better than who you are . but enjoy yourself , please . by all means , enjoy the lingerie and the giggles . i mean , life with brooke is like a carnival , so enjoy the ride . because sooner or later , donna will have a boyfriend , and she 'll start batting her eyes at him . or there 's always liam and now wyatt . bill : katie , stop it . katie : or ridge will come back , and you 'll be just another name on her list . you do n't believe me . it 's okay . remember this conversation ... because the day will come . bill : you 're trying to hurt me . katie : i do n't care if you 're hurt or not . your feelings are no longer my concern . bill : so taking will to new york has nothing to do with getting a reaction out of me ? katie : it 's business . bill : it 's revenge . you want to lash out at me ? you want to scream to the world that i 'm just a name on brooke 's bedpost ? i do n't give a damn . take my house . take my job , my money . but you will not leave with my son . maya : whoa . carter : what ? maya : look at this speech you 've written for yourself . you plan to memorize all this ? carter : [ chuckles ] should n't be a problem . i know what the character wants . `` you might think this is happening fast . a year ago , we did n't know each other , but why should we wait ? you sense it , too -- how right this is . i fell for you the first time i saw you . `` maya : you think ? carter : what ? maya : well , lance fell for her pretty fast , but the first time he met scarlett , there was tension around that lease . carter : mm - hmm . um , the sexual -- sexual tension . that not come across ? maya : no . carter : are you saying something about my acting ? maya : no . no . keep reading . carter : okay . okay , uh ... maya : [ clears throat ] carter : `` i looked in your eyes , and i ... `` let 's -- let 's -- [ chuckles ] let 's skip the part about the eyes . it 's a bit much . okay , um ... `` whenever you 're in the room ... `` [ laughs ] that is so schmaltzy . oh , my god . okay . let 's get to the good stuff , right ? maya : carter , are you nervous ? it 's just me . carter : `` the last thing i expected when i moved here was to fall in love . i thought i 'd hang in l.a. , see what job opportunities were out there . `` maya : is n't lance supposed to be from l.a. ? carter : `` but now that i 've met you ... i could never leave this apartment ... this city ... you . i think you feel the same . `` maya : um ... `` i do . `` carter : `` then let 's do something about it . i do n't want to be your roommate anymore . i want to be your husband . `` will you marry me ... maya ? maya : scarlett , you mean . you messed up the line . carter : lance is just a character . i fell for you , not scarlett . will you marry me ... maya avant ? bill : so , you 're just gon na run my company from the road , huh ? katie : from new york . your father did it for years . i 'll be fine . bill : when will you be back ? katie : i 'll call you when i 'm home . you thought this would be easy . you thought you could just swap out one woman for the other with no complications . but i 'm sorry , bill . there 's a child involved . did you ever think about him ? did you think about him when you went to monte carlo to be with brooke ? there are consequences , and this is your new reality . this is the price you pay for your unlimited , mindless sex with my sister . and you want to talk about what a judge will do ? well , let 's talk about that . because when a judge hears that you left a woman who survived a heart transplant , who battled back from post- partum depression , who gave you a child even though it almost killed her , when you left her for her sister ... i do n't think there 's any question what the ruling will be . and you 'll be lucky to ever see your son again . [ door opens ] | bill asks wyatt if they can start over . wyatt says yes and bill hugs him . they both agree that brooke helped them see the situation and how they can make it better . and after being with brooke wyatt says he can see why bill fell for her . bill tells wyatt that even under the present conditions with katie running the company , he is at liberty to choose who he hires and he offers wyatt a job . wyatt hesitates , then says he does n't want to sound ungrateful as he 'd love to work with him , but he has a commitment and contract with forrester . bill says of course then he needs to see that through to help his mom move her business to a higher level . he admires him for that . bill thanks him again for standing up for will . awkwardly , wyatt says that bill could have forgotten all about wyatt but he reached out to him and he wants to thank him for that . bill reaches out first and hugs wyatt again . brooke tells katie that she wishes she could see things from her point of view . she does not want her to leave town . she will miss her and she 'd hoped they could work through this . katie laughs and says that is the problem . brooke does not get a say in this . and she can spin her little story any way she wants to justify it but she did not force her into her husband 's arms or his bed . so brooke can tell herself whatever she needs to but katie does n't have to accept it . in fact she does n't have to have anything to do with her anymore . she will never see things the way brooke and bill see it . she will never see her as a sister again nor trust her . she ruined that . she chastises brooke for being the one who let bill move into her house yet she is the one still crying . they made a conscious decision to betray her and all the crying in the world wo n't change that . |

[ cellphone rings ] sally : timing could not be more perfect . thomas : oh ? sally : if i ever needed to hear your voice , it 's right now . thomas : i have -- i have good news . it 's actually great news . sally : tell me . thomas : it 's caroline . she ... she is in remission . sally : oh , my god ! that 's amazing , thomas ! for her and for douglas and for you ... thomas : yeah . yeah , it 's pretty incredible . sally : so ... are you coming home ? ridge : hey . brooke : hmm ? ridge : what 's going on ? there 's something you 're not telling me . brooke : oh , uh ... my husband 's leaving his company . ridge : what ? brooke : bill . he 's taking a leave of absence from spencer publications . steffy : i ca n't believe you hit him , bill . your own son . bill : i know ! i know ... i was angry . i -- i reacted . i mean , he was trying to take my company , threatening me with jail time . what was i supposed to do , just stand there and accept it ? steffy : you 're supposed to work things through , not resort to violence ! bill : and liam 's supposed to be a loyal son ! instead he axed me , and he defends sally spectra in the same breath ! after everything she did to you ? or has the , uh , dippy redhead won you over , too ? sally : i am so happy to hear that caroline is gon na be okay . that is great news for douglas and for her . for us . so , you think you 'll be coming back soon ? thomas : no . sally : what ? thomas : it 's just -- this time that i 've had with my son and caroline , it 's changed so much . sally : you just told me that caroline was getting better . thomas : sally , i 've loved you like i never loved anyone . but caroline has a second chance at life , and i have a second chance at giving my son something that i 've never had -- a stable family . i realized that my place is here with my son and his mother . sally : i got to go . goodbye , thomas . coco : i am so sorry , sal . alison : c.j . garrison for your father . what should i tell him ? liam : uh , yeah , no , send him in , i 'll handle it . alison : you can go in . c.j . : thank you very much . oh ! hey , uh , liam , look , i am -- whoa ! what happened to your face , man ? liam : it 's , uh , fine . listen , my father took a leave of absence , and i am now acting c.e.o . c.j . : okay , um ... what 's this ? liam : the original purchase agreement . i mean , look at it . these are the numbers that you and my dad originally agreed upon , right ? c.j . : well , yeah , but he pulled that . i mean , you were here when ... liam : yeah , well , now that i 'm in charge , we 're gon na do things a little differently , and honoring original agreements is one of them . c.j . : liam , listen , i do n't think you realize the impact that this is going to have on my mother and me . i ca n't thank you enough . man , it 's -- yeah , we can stop shaking hands . liam : sure . i 'll have the money wired to you , and you can just give whatever other pertinent information to alison on your way out . c.j . : thank you . again . [ exhales sharply ] liam : hey , alison , can you track down sally spectra 's cell ? i need to talk to her . sally : okay , everybody . there 's nothing left here for us anymore . let 's go . saul : sally . sally , wait . wait , wait , wait . are you absolutely sure that we are out of options ? sally : this entire building is burnt to a crisp . my line is destroyed . c.j . is selling whatever is left of this place to bill spencer , and ... thomas is n't coming back . we 've reached the end of the line . spectra fashions is ... no more . [ cellphone rings ] shirley : oh ! it 's thomas calling back . i bet he 's reconsidered . come on , everybody , let 's give sally some privacy . sally : hello ? liam : hey , sally . it 's liam spencer . i 'd like to see you . can you come to my office at spencer publications right away ? sally : liam , this really is n't a good time right now . i 'm actually in the middle of something . i 'm in the middle of leaving l.a. for good . liam : well , that 's what i want to talk to you about . but not over the phone . would you come ? please . it 's important . and i think -- i think you 'll be happy you did . sally : [ sighs ] ridge : wow . brooke : thank you . ridge : who 'd have thought that a control freak like your hubby can let go of his company ? brooke : temporarily . in the meantime , liam 's taking over . ridge : good . put his own stamp on spencer publications . brooke : bill just has n't been himself lately . he seems really stressed . ridge : maybe he 's finally grown a conscience . maybe he feels guilty about something he 's done to someone . bill : i regret what i did . losing it with liam , ordering the fire ... it was wrong . but if it was n't for sally spectra and that two - bit -- steffy : no ! do not put this on sally . you took something from her you had no right to take . bill , if you had any remorse , you 'll do something . you 'll start the healing process with your son . it 's all up to you , bill . sally : i , uh , went to your office , but they directed me here . liam : uh , yeah . i 'm glad you came . honestly , i did n't -- i did n't think you would . can you close that door ? sally : what is this about , liam ? what is that about ? liam : it 's a long story ... i 'm kidding , i 'm fine . sally : well , i 'm glad someone is because i am not . this has literally been the worst day of my life . i ca n't wait to get as far from l.a. as possible . liam : well , i 'm kind of hoping that after we talk , you wo n't feel that way . brooke : here 's a novel concept -- instead of you always thinking the worst about my husband , you could actually cut him some slack instead . ridge : i do n't trust the guy . neither should you . brooke : i 'm married to him . ridge : i know . brooke : i 'm his wife . ridge : here 's an easy fix . leave him , come back to me , and i 'll make you forget all about bill spencer . bill : if you 're asking me what i think you are ... steffy : you and liam have had your differences before , but nothing like this . bill : he never instigated a coup before and threatened to have me arrested . steffy : you committed a crime ! bill : he recorded me behind my back . is blackmailing me not a crime ? steffy : bill , people could have died . bill : i got that . and i realize now that i went too far . but so did liam ! and for what ? to try to avenge what i did to sally spectra ? he 's got a thing for her . sally : so , did you hear about caroline ? thomas called and said that she 's cured . or at least on her way , anyway , but hopefully you would already know that this time . you 're her family . anyway , um , thomas called me to tell me that , the good news , and that all of his time spent with caroline and douglas has made him recommit to his family . he 's staying in new york . i thought we were in love , that we were in a relationship , we were business partners , but i guess he 's gone , too . just like spectra . so i 'm -- i 'm gon na head out 'cause there 's nothing left for me here in los angeles . liam : i 'd like to try and change that . sally : look , liam , i know you 're some ridiculously upbeat guy , but -- liam : no , no , no , no , no . okay , you -- you know that my dad wanted to build this skyscraper on the spectra lot , right ? sally : yes . i do . uh , c.j . is about to sell it to him , from what i understand . liam : yeah , well , spencer holdings already owns it . sally : when did that happen ? is that why you invited me here ? i 'm confused . you 're giving this building back to my great aunt ? liam : i believe sally spectra is your name , too . the building , the property -- it 's yours . sally : [ sighs ] i am sure your father has something to say about this . liam : my father took a leave of absence , and i 'm in charge now . and , yeah , this is real . sally : seriously ? i own a piece of downtown l.a. ? liam : listen , my dad has been out to get you from the start . i know you know about the bad review , but ... it goes a lot deeper than that . it does n't matter . i 'm just -- i 'm trying to right a wrong here , so the building , the property , all of it -- it 's yours , sally . brooke : you are persistent . i 'll give you that . ridge : good . then leave bill before he lets you down . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge ... ridge : i know . i know , i know . i let you down , too . but if you give me another chance , then i will be the husband that you need , that you always needed , the husband i should have been . brooke : when i was going to marry you , that 's what i thought . that you were all i needed . until you betrayed me with quinn , of all people . your father 's wife . i still wonder ... ridge : well , don't . do n't wonder . there 's nothing between me and quinn . there never was . dad has forgiven her . why ca n't you forgive me ? steffy : do n't be ridiculous ! he does n't have a thing for sally . can we just focus on saving your relationship with your son ? bill : sure , but i 'm telling you , i 'm right . steffy : i 'm telling you that you guys just need to work together . you need to end this war . you and your son just need to meet in the middle . bill : we go back a long way , do n't we ? you know i 'm not a `` meet in the middle `` kind of guy . steffy : i know you 're not gon na be able to fix this overnight , but you need to just try , okay ? you do n't need be estranged from your son again . you do n't need to just lose these precious moments because you 're angry and you know that you 're wrong . because you 're gon na regret it . sally : this is insane . liam : [ chuckles ] sally : this ca n't be happening . liam : yeah , well , it just did . sally : why are you doing this ? liam : i told you . it 's -- it 's the right thing to do . sally : really ? that 's all you 're gon na say ? liam : that 's all that needs to be said . listen , do you have a plan to resurrect spectra ? sally : i , um ... i mean , i just came from there . the building is still standing . barely . but they said it 's structurally sound , and ... [ stammers ] i do n't know where to start , no , but , um , the whole place has to be redone and gutted ... liam : okay , great , but you still want to design , right ? i mean , you want to be a name in the fashion industry ? sally : yeah ! yeah , that 's always been my dream . liam : fantastic . good . i mean , look , listen , it 's gon na be a lot of work . you 're gon na have to borrow against the property and the building to take out a loan so you can get jump - started , but you -- you got friends , you got family . i mean , with support like that , you ca n't go wrong , right ? sally : right , um ... does bill know about this ? liam : no . sally : steffy ? liam : nobody needs to know but us . sally : i really do n't deserve this . liam : you really do deserve this . more than you realize . sally : how can i ever thank you ? liam : [ laughs ] by realizing your dreams and being successful , i guess . can you do that ? sally : yes ! yes ! i 'm -- i 'm gon na work every hour of every day for the rest of my life to prove it ! [ laughs ] liam : [ laughs ] good . sally : oh , god , you are the most amazing man , liam . liam : okay , thank you , but this really does have to stay between us . sally : yeah . yeah . liam : now , go ! go tell the crew that , you know , spectra 's not closing after all , and you 'll be up and running before you know it . sally : yes ! liam : what ? sally : you just took the worst day of my life ... and you made it the best . thank you . | as they hug steffy tells bill that she will do all she can to heal the wounds between him and liam . sally looks over the rubble of the spectra building seeing the dear face of her aunt sally on a placard on the floor . the police say the structure is still quite sound and that is the only reason they let her back in . thomas calls and she says the timing could not be more perfect . he tells her for him too . caroline is in remission . she wants to know if he is coming home . he has to say no ; this time with his son has meant so much , a chance he never had . he knows now his place is here with his son and his mother . they say goodbye . ridge tells brooke that sally is leaving town ; spectra will be no more . she tells him that bill is taking a leave of absence so looks like there will be several changes . alison ushers cj in to see liam . liam shows him the original papers but says he is now in charge and honoring the agreements will be changed somewhat . cj shakes his hand and says he does not realize what this will for his mother and him . sally is in the midst of saying goodbye one more time to grams , saul , coco and darlita . she says they have come to the end of the line with the building burnt to a crisp and thomas is not coming back . liam tracks her down and asks if she can come to his office right away . she sees no reason since she is on her way out of town . he says this is important and thinks she will want to hear this . bill tells steffy that he was wrong in dealing with liam but if it had not been for sally spectra . she corrects him and says sally had nothing to do with what happened and it is all up to bill now . he admits he went too far but so did liam . |
quinn : if you are second - guessing yourself , don't . allocating funds for intimates over hope for the future was the right decision . ridge : i 'm not second - guessing myself . i know it 's the right choice . i just wish that my wife felt the same way . quinn : ooh . things still a little tense with her ? where is brooke , anyway ? bill : thanks for meeting with me again . brooke : thank you . bill : i know you want to keep these get - togethers on the down - low , especially from ridge . brooke : yeah . he would n't understand . bill : and yet you 're supposed to understand why he would choose intimates over your daughter 's line ? that 's got to create a little friction between you and the hubby . brooke : why did you want to see me , bill ? bill : i was hoping by now you had a chance to talk to katie about the custody issue . i want to put an end to this , brooke , before will gets caught in the crossfire . carter : legal papers have been served . ball is in their court , but as of now ... an eerie silence . thorne : so , what do you make of it ? katie : maybe it 's positive . maybe bill 's decided not to fight this . thorne : or it 's spencer 's strategy -- keep us guessing what he 'll do next . carter : katie , i realize this is still hard for you , but what you 're doing really is in your little boy 's best interests . katie : i know . thorne : katie would have done anything to stop it from coming to this . bill left her no choice . hey , you 're doing the right thing . you 're doing what any mother would do to protect her child . zoe : did i take it too far -- kissing you like that ? not that i 'm about to apologize , especially since that little miss emma shot you down . what is her problem , anyway ? oh , what am i saying ? look , emma is just a naive girl . she does n't know what you need . but i do . i 've always known what you need . zoe : we were so hot together . we still are ... if you 'd ... just ... let yourself go . quinn : i 'll get this to katie asap and have her whip it into a press release for your approval . ridge : thank you . quinn : oh , is she in the office today , or is she working from home ? ridge : she 's home , i think . quinn : she 's been doing that a lot lately . ridge : i know . but she 's got a lot of things going on -- the custody battle with bill , and , listen , she 's just worried about her boy . again , i support her . quinn : so do i . bill is toxic . that 's why i kept him away from wyatt for as long as i could . and i think katie is doing the right thing . i do , and if she wants me to testify for her , i will . carter : katie , it 's completely normal to still have some inner conflict . you 're filing for physical and legal custody of your son . you do n't want to come between him and his father . thorne : well , she 's not doing that . bill will still be able to see his son , just at katie 's discretion . it 's what 's necessary to protect will . i 'm not saying bill 's a threat to the little boy , but you need to have full control of the situation . will : mommy ? thorne : hey , bud . will : what 's going on ? bill : you have n't had a change of heart , have you ? brooke , listen to me . will is growing so fast . i mean , blink and he 's off to college , starting his own life . i want to make the most of the time that we have together , repair the damage i 've done to our relationship and build an even stronger one . but if this heads to court ... i do n't want it to come to that . and you can help me keep that from happening . brooke : bill , i already told you i think that my sister 's overreacting , but , still -- bill : i - i know that i 'm putting you in the middle of a complicated situation , and i hate that . but katie listens to you . if anyone can get her to change her mind , it 's you . please , brooke . talk to your sister on my behalf ... today . xander : [ sighs ] i ... ca n't do this . zoe : [ scoffs ] i think we already are . xander : no . i care about emma . i do n't want to hurt her . zoe : [ scoffs ] who says that you 're going to ? we 're just kissing . xander : we 're just playing with fire ... and we both know it . zoe : [ scoffs ] well , what 's a life without a little danger ? playing it safe gets you nowhere . xander : yeah . well ... maybe that 's fine for you , 'cause you 're not involved with anyone . zoe : seriously ? you call what you have with emma an involvement ? xander : okay , do n't throw shade at her , all right ? emma 's important to me . zoe : yeah , well ... there was a time when i was important to you , too ... when you could n't get enough of me . i 'd like to think you still can't . xander : you 're not hearing me . zoe : [ scoffs ] no , you 're not hearing me . i love you . look , i understand if you feel a bit torn , but just know ... that i 'm willing to wait until you realize that emma 's just a girl who ca n't give you what you want ... and i can . ridge : spencer 's totally without a conscience . he destroys people 's lives on a daily basis . does n't even matter who they are ... friends , business partners , family , his own sons ... my daughter . no one 's spared . then there 's brooke . she always finds a way to defend him . i do n't -- i do n't get that . she was married to him . she knows what he 's capable of . still , she finds a way to feel sorry for him . i 'm not sure why . bill : hey . justin : hey . so , i had another text from carter walton today in response to the custody issue . all they 've heard from our camp is radio silence . i think it 's starting to get to them . hope that was your intention . i mean , otherwise ... bill : otherwise what ? justin : well , normally , you would be in full attack mode . it is n't like you not to strike first . bill : well , part of me would like to do just that . but i 'm hopeful this whole mess can be avoided . justin : you were hoping brooke would talk to katie on your behalf . has anything happened on that front ? bill : not yet . but i did just come from another meeting with brooke . justin : oh , and she 's gon na come through for you ? bill : well , why does that surprise you ? justin : i do n't know . maybe it 's because she 's your ex - wife or maybe because she 's married to a man that despises you . you talk about putting the lady smack in the middle -- sheesh . bill : well , that 's not my intention . but if brooke can make headway with katie , all the better . justin : yeah , well , i gather she 's on her way to do that now . bill : i 'm praying brooke will come through for me ... but , more importantly , come through for will . katie : thanks for dropping him off , eva ! hey ! so , how was the beach with alonzo ? did you have fun ? will : it was okay . thorne : did you go boogie boarding ? will : his mom said the waves were too rough . katie : ohh . that 's a bummer . uh , why do n't you go on upstairs and get out of your swim stuff ? carter : i should be going . thorne : thanks for all your help , carter . carter : of course . brooke : his help with what ? katie : hey ! um ... wh - what are you doing here ? brooke : i wanted to come talk to you alone . hello , carter , thorne . thorne : brooke . carter : i was just leaving . i 'll see you back at the office . thorne : yeah , i 'm gon na get going , too , actually -- give you guys some privacy . tell will i said goodbye . katie : i will . thorne : hey . katie : bye . brooke : is will upstairs ? i 'd really like to see him . katie : yeah . yeah . he 's , um -- he 's upstairs . what are you doing here ? brooke : you and thorne -- it 's pretty obvious you two have gotten closer . katie : do you not approve ? brooke : no . i think you two will make each other very happy . but i am concerned about something . katie : what ? brooke : your decision to file for sole custody of your son . are you sure you know what you 're doing , katie ? [ camera shutter clicks ] [ camera shutter clicks ] bailey : i hardly see you anymore . carmen : yeah , and somebody 's really upset about it . bailey : carmen ! xander : well , they -- they have me working mostly in the intimates line now , so ... bailey : lucky them , getting to see that smile every day . xander : [ chuckles ] carmen : maybe i should leave you two . emma : hey , guys . carmen : emma , hey ! emma : bailey . how 's the ankle ? i still feel really bad . bailey : so much better . no worries . carmen : uh , we were just heading to a fitting . we should probably go . bye , guys . emma : hey . xander : hey . you okay ? emma : yeah . uh ... so ... about what happened earlier at bikini , or did n't happen ... i just wanted to let you know that it meant a lot to me -- everything you did to make such a special day for us . i know you 're a good guy , xander , and that you 're not trying to just take advantage of me . i just w - want to take things slowly . i know that can be frustrating for you . i just hope you can understand . zoe : i 'm willing to wait until you realize emma 's just a girl who ca n't give you what you want ... and i can . ridge : hey . thorne : hey . ridge : how 's katie holding up ? thorne : good . you know , it 's not easy , but she 's tough . ridge : she sure is . thorne : actually , i just came from her place , discussing the custody case with carter . quinn : are bill and his lawyers pushing back ? are they making her life hell ? thorne : well , not yet , but i 'm sure it 's coming . ridge : facts are facts . he 's a horrible father . any judge is gon na see that . thorne : i agree . bill keeps letting his kid down , and katie ca n't trust that he wo n't keep doing it , so bill 's gon na have to face the consequences . ridge : it 's awful . he completely ignored that little kid . as a parent , you just ca n't do that . he 's gon na learn his lesson the hard way , is n't he ? katie : brooke , i 've given this a lot of thought . this is n't some whim . i 've done a lot of soul - searching . brooke : bill loves his son , no matter bill 's shortcomings . katie : yes , i know that . but it does n't excuse the fact that he 's been absent from will 's life for the better part of a year . brooke : no , of course not . katie : and what it 's done to will -- i mean , he ca n't trust his own father . brooke : and how is going after sole custody gon na change that ? look , i know that bill has done some questionable things in his life , things that i certainly do n't condone , but you know what ? he adores his son . and you know that . how could you even consider keeping him from his son ? thorne : you know ... i hope you know i really appreciate your support on this . we do n't often agree on things , but on this , we do , and ... katie 's gon na need all the help she can get going up against spencer , so it 's just -- it 's good to know that my brother will be in our corner . ridge : [ laughs ] of course . come on . we 're family . and bill spencer -- he thinks he 's invincible , especially in business . but as a family man , he 's absolutely useless . just a horrible human being . and that little boy 's gon na be better off without him in his life . justin : got to hand it to brooke , stepping up for you this way . not many ex- wives would be so generous . bill : well , it 's more about her nephew than me . she knows that keeping will from me only harms our relationship that much more . it 's not that she is n't sympathetic to katie . she is . she knows her sister is doing what she thinks is best for our son . but it is n't , justin . now , i did n't have the chance to be there for liam and wyatt when they were growing up , and it would kill me if the same thing happened with will . brooke realizes that , and she knows that i can be the kind of father will needs . but i - i ca n't if i do n't get the chance . i just have to hope that she can convince katie of that . katie : okay , let me be clear . this is not about keeping bill away from his son . i want them to spend time together . i -- that 's not what this is about . brooke : but it must feel that way to bill , kind of like you 're stripping his son away from him . katie : okay , brooke . i have -- i have agonized over this . i - i do n't want to go to war with bill over full custody . i do n't want to do that . i do n't want to do it any more than i wanted my family to be torn apart . but that 's where we are right now . bill has been panting over steffy , his -- his son 's wife , who was pregnant with his grandchild , and during that time , he completely neglected will -- neglected him . it was like he did n't even exist . and i am his mother . i have to protect him from that . i have to give him the stability that he needs , and he ca n't get that from bill because bill is m.i.a . from his life , and you have got to understand that . brooke : i do . i know how much you love will . i know how important he is to you . you risked your life to bring him into this world . katie : [ sighs ] brooke : but to go to this extreme ? i know bill 's made mistakes . but as parents , have n't we all ? to think that you 're gon na punish him -- katie : i 'm not ! i 'm not ! i 'm not punishing bill . i - i - i would never do that ! i would never use my son like that ! have you been talking to bill ?

the forrester 's have put a restraining order on you . this little piece of paper means that you can go to jail . amber , do n't blow this off . they will do it . the way ridge feels about you , he 'd be happy to lock you up and throw away the key . amber : well , ridge is never going to find out . because i 'm not going to tell him and you 're not going to tell him and there 's no way thomas ever would . ridge : you wo n't listen to me , you wo n't listen to rick . thomas : that 's all ancient history . eric : you do n't see the similarities ? thomas : yes , i do . i think you misjudged her then , too . ridge : it kills me that you 're defending her . thomas : i would n't have to if you 'd stop attacking her . ridge : nothing 's going to happen to amber . not as long as you stay away from her . look , thomas , some day you 're going to meet a girl who cares about you . who is good for you . who brings something positive to your life . you do n't know what i 'm talking about you ? thomas : yes , i do . because it 's already happened there 's a lot more going on here than you know about ! amber : nobody 's gon na lock me up . you know , everybody should just chill out and back off . c.j . : amber , i 'm warning you , as your friend , you 're the one who had better back off . amber : no . this is the first time in so long that i 've actually felt good about myself . and thomas did that for me . you know ? i mean , he 's an amazing person . he is . he 's so caring and he 's open . he 's just like his mom . c.j . : if he 's so caring , why is he putting you at risk ? amber : that was my choice . i like being with him . he 's important to me . c.j . : i see . more important than staying out of jail ? amber : c.j . , he is the only person in this world who really believes in me . when someone makes you feel special like that , you just do n't want to let him go . no matter what . ridge : and what do mean by that ? other things going on ? thomas : she cares about me . but you do n't believe that . and nothing i say 's gon na convince you otherwise . so there 's no point even talking about it . eric : thomas , thomas , thomas . look , your father really does have your best interests at heart . thomas : i get that . ridge : do you really ? thomas : yeah . but i think you 're making a big mistake here . ridge : i 'd rather be safe than sorry . look , you think hanging with amber is just harmless fun . everything 's just fun and games . but i 'm telling you right now , she has -- she has this wild streak about her . thomas : yeah , i 've seen it . ridge : then you know . thomas , i 'm telling you , if you let her in , she 's going to drive you crazy . thomas : ca n't argue with that . jackie : eric ? oh , sorry , you 're in the middle of something . thomas : no , no , it 's cool . i 'm outta here . eric : jackie , what can i do for you ? jackie : well , i could come back later . eric : no , no . no , it 's all right . how you doing ?

jackie : yes . he 's invited me to spectra 's fashion show . ridge : you 're not going , are you ? jackie : well i think i have to . ridge : fine . knock yourself out . you 're wasting your time , though . because there 's nothing thorne has that is up to fenmore 's standards . jackie : oh , you 've seen the line ? ridge : no , i have n't seen it . jackie : well , thorne seems very confident . and there 's a great deal of interest in the new line . ridge : hype , jackie . a great deal of hype . you see , there 's nothing thorne could possibly produce that could ever live up to it . jackie : well , we 'll have to see . clark : i would love to see the look on ridge 's face when he finds out that fenmore 's department stores is carrying our line ! darla : ahh , it has n't happened yet . clarke : oh , it will . of course it will . not only do we have superior quality here , the same designs with better fabric and better construction , but jackie marone wants to see ridge get his just as much as you do . thorne : this is n't about ridge getting his , clarke . clarke : oh , right . darla : no , it 's not , clarke . it 's about thorne getting what he deserves . and showing everybody in this business just what he can do . clarke : well , we 're gon na do more than show 'em . we 're gon na wow 'em . we 're gon na astound them . they have never seen quality like this strut down a spectra runway . i tell you thorne , you are re - inventing this company . thorne : by going back to the tried - and - the - true . see , it 's quality that sets the great fashion house apart from the rest . it 's not flash . it 's not fancy promotional campaigns . it 's classic elegance . that 's what it used to be all about for my father . maybe that time will come again . clarke : maybe . or maybe the torch has already been passed . maybe tomorrow the world will recognize that you are the keeper of the flame . the true heir to the forrester legacy .

[ scene_break ] jackie : okay , maybe it 's too much to ask for your forgiveness , but could you at least just try to understand ? i had a little boy . i had to put food on the table . i did what i did for him . jackie : when stephanie found out and she revealed it , the fashion world , they were definitely in shock , and nicky was devastated , actually . but he came to my defense , and i pulled myself together , and then the shock value finally wore off . owen : so i 'm pretty much the last person to know about this . jackie : oh , darling , no one cares anymore . it has n't been an issue for years . owen : okay , you did n't even tell me . you did n't even give me a hint . jackie : well , i 'm telling you now . owen : why ? why now ? why are you telling me now , huh ? jackie : because of the video . it 's on the internet . i did n't mean to keep it from you . i just never -- i knew you 'd be devastated , but we had said that there would be no more secrets between us ever . owen : okay , so , i mean , you were -- you were young , and , you know , you had nick , and you were struggling , so i mean it -- jackie : yes , i was . i was very young . i was very scared , and yes , i was a little stupid . but , owen , please say you understand and forgive me . please tell me this does n't change anything between us . owen : but it does , jackie . this -- this changes everything .

[ scene_break ] jackie : you 're angry , and you 're confused . owen : no . no , i mean , this makes perfect sense . i mean , maybe that 's why it was so easy for you just to hop into whip 's arms . jackie : oh , how can you say that ? owen : look , you just dropped a huge bomb on me , jackie . jackie : i know . owen : i do n't know what to say . i do n't even know what to think . jackie : i know . i know . i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . owen : look , i just -- i need some time to -- to think , i mean , to put this together and just -- i just need some time , all right ? i just -- jackie : owen , stop . jackie : do n't forget what we have together . never forget that i love you .

[ scene_break ] rick : ( quietly ) i thought you were going to feed the baby right -- bridget : shh . ( quietly ) he 's asleep right now . i want to know what the heck is going on with you . i saw you kissing jackie . rick : oh . bridget : i want to know what you 're up to , rick . i want to know right now . [ scene_break ] ridge : i 'm sure bridget does share a very strong connection with owen since they have a baby together now . brooke : she 's totally caught up into being a new mom . she just shared an incredibly intimate experience with owen up in big bear when he delivered their baby ridge : well , you and i know what that feels like , do n't we , since you and i delivered bridget together in the very same cabin ? brooke : i 'll never forget how powerful that was . after i gave birth , you placed her in my arms . brooke : that was one of the most beautiful moments of our lives . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : and now bridget and owen , they 're feeling that same thing , very deep emotions . and that 's what worries me . i mean , bridget is feeling these things that she 's never felt before with a man who 's married to somebody else . i 'm afraid she might get hurt . [ scene_break ] owen : what , did bridget tell you that she has feelings for me ? jackie : ( sighs ) darling , she did n't have to . i mean , it 's written all over her face . i 'm not blind . it 's in her body language . ( chuckles ) the way that her eyes just -- bing -- light up when she looks at you . she 's falling head over heels for you , you know . and i 'm not threatened . i 'm not . you must n't think that . i have total confidence in you and our marriage . owen : jackie , i want you to feel that way . jackie : well , i do . now i - it 's perfectly understandable . you 're -- you 're new parents to this beautiful little baby boy . i mean , you delivered him . my god , darling , you brought your own son into the world . you and bridget shared this life - changing experience . of course there 's going to be a special , powerful connection between the two of you . [ scene_break ] bridget : i am waiting , rick . i want to know what 's going on in that head of yours . why were you kissing jackie ? rick : i was ... totally caught up in the moment ? bridget : what moment ? rick : the moment of me looking at jackie marone . bridget : oh , god . rick : my god , the woman is so intriguing . bridget : it 's not jackie marone anymore , all right ? it 's jackie marone knight . rick : well , all right , if it makes any difference whatsoever , she was n't havin ' any of it . that woman is totally committed to her husband . bridget : well , i realize that . i also realize what you 're up to . rick : and what is that ? bridget : you 're not really interested in jackie . rick : how do you know ? bridget : because i know you , and you 're just trying to be a good brother . you 're doing this for me . rick : ( sighs ) bridget : and i know your heart is in the right place , but do n't do it , rick . rick : bridget , it was just a little harmless flirting . bridget : rick , what 's wrong with you ? kissing a married woman is never harmless . look , deep down , she was probably flattered . but she 's totally in love with her husband , so no matter how irresistible you may be , she 's not gon na cave in to your advances . rick : ( scoffs ) okay , bridget , stop this . i was here when you were talking to mom about how you feel about owen , that you 're falling in love with him . bridget : that was wrong of me . i should n't be feeling that . i should have never said anything about that . rick : but you are feeling that way , bridget . you 're falling in love with the father of your child . there 's nothing wrong with that . bridget : but -- rick : just listen to me . hear me out . just like there 's nothing wrong with me just trying to help out my sister . and if that means spending a little time with a woman like jackie marone , then so be it . [ scene_break ] brooke : the three of them trying to share this child is totally unrealistic . i was afraid it would n't work . now that the baby 's here , and given the way bridget 's feeling , i 'm certain it wo n't . ridge : okay , that 's it . i suggest bridget and the baby move in with us . brooke : no , no . i already asked her that . she does n't want to . she wants the baby to be as close to his father as possible , and i understand that . owen is as crazy about that little boy as she is . but i 'm still worried , ridge , because i do n't want bridget to get into a fight with jackie over owen . and i 'm afraid to say it , but i think that 's exactly where this is headed . [ scene_break ] owen : most women could n't except this so easily . jackie : ( laughs ) well , i am not most women . ( laughs ) owen : no , you definitely are n't . jackie : do you know how happy it makes me seeing you with your son ? the wonder , the fulfillment in your eyes , the love -- it 's made me fall in love with you even more . and for you to allow me to be part of it , to share your child with me -- oh , darling , it 's just going to make our marriage stronger . [ scene_break ] rick : i 'm just trying to help you . bridget : rick , thank you , but you ca n't help me . just do n't get involved . rick : best - case scenario -- you and owen end up together forever with your baby . bridget : rick . rick : all i 'm saying is that when that happens , because the three of you were meant to be together , then i will happily pick up the pieces with jackie .

'cause it obviously did n't seem to before . massimo : you want to blame me for this incident . oscar : `` incident `` ? that 's what you 're calling it . i could have died . it ! ght ? so , if this is what you came to say , then you can go any time , all right ? go . go ! brooke : i thought we 'd be celebrating by now . eric : you will be soon enough . brooke : oh , i do n't think ridge is gon na want to celebrate after this . i mean , how could she do it ? how could she put ridge in the position of choosing ? eric : brooke , you do n't think that ridge is gon na -- brooke : no , i know that i am ridge 's number one priority . i 'm just worried what she 's gon na do when she figures that out . eric : brooke , she 's a mother first . brooke : maybe that 's true . but her hatred 's gotten the best of her . it seems more important to her than her own son . at least that 's how she acted today . poor ridge , he 's lost so many people already . i 'm gon na go see what 's going on in there . stephanie : this is how you see all of this ? i 'm hurting brooke . ridge : what , you do n't think you did ? you do n't think it matters , do you ? because , after all , it 's only brooke . stephanie : when did she become such a defenseless little waif in your eyes ? i realize she 's always seen herself in her own mind that way . ridge : oh , now you 're gon na list all of her sins ? you know what , mother ? it does n't matter . she does n't have your husband anymore . she does n't have your company anymore . stephanie : no , but she has you . ridge : that 's right . she does . stephanie : and taylor 's children . now , what makes you think that at this point in her life she 's going to treat your children any differently than she treated her own ? you think she 's not going to neglect them , or betray them , like bridget ? i mean , let 's not forget bridget . ridge : oh , please . stephanie : are you prepared to ignore that ? are you really prepared to make her the role model for your girls ? for taylor 's girls ? ridge : and who should be the role model , huh ? who should i have as a role model ? you ? a woman that 's constantly angry all the time ? stephanie : i have good reason to be angry . ridge : and what about me , mother , huh ? my wife is dead . my children lost their mother . you want to talk about rage ? i could be obsessing about that all my life . but i 'm choosing not to . stephanie : that is what this is all about , is n't it ? i 'm right . you 're rushing into a relationship with her , because you wo n't face your own grief . ridge : i 'm trying to move on . damn it . i 'm moving on , brooke 's moving on , my kids are moving on . now maybe that pisses you off , i do n't know . or maybe you think i 'm being disloyal to taylor . what is it ? stephanie : no . ridge : look , i do n't really care anymore . because i 'm going to be happy . do you understand me ? and you 're going to stop fighting me ! stephanie : and if i do n't , i 'm out of your life ? you need me . ridge : i could use your support , yes . but i can see i 'm obviously not going to get that . you know , mother , you can blame this on the kids all you want . but you busting into that press conference , that was n't for the kids . you calling brooke a slut , that was n't for their benefit at all , was it ? it was for you . it was all about you and your vendetta and your jealousy . stephanie : jealousy ? ridge : that 's right . because she 's happy , and you 're not . but that 's not her fault . you know what ? brooke is not going to be your scapegoat anymore . period . [ knock on door ] brooke : may i come in ? stephanie : no . ridge : yes . come in . brooke : are you getting anywhere ? ridge : well , let 's just see . mother ? is there anything you 'd like to say to brooke ? oscar : are you my doctor ? thug : that 's right . oscar : good . 'cause i got to tell you , this hurts like hell . thug : well , we are gon na take care of that . oscar : you know , people keep telling me how lucky i am . thug : so far . oscar : yeah , but i figure maybe the guy just had lousy aim , huh ? thug : maybe . oscar : so , anyway , when am i gon na get out of here ? thug : do n't worry . real soon . bridget : i found your doctor . oscar : yeah , i see that . thug : i 'm consulting . [ bridget screams ] thug : do n't move . oscar : leave her alone . brooke : you know what , ridge ? i think you gave your mother a lot to think about . ridge : well , let 's just see if any of it sunk in . well , mother ? stephanie : what do you think i should say , ridge ? ridge : oh , you need a little coaching ? fine . that you 're sorry for the way you acted today . that you 're embarrassed by your total lack of dignity and poise . brooke : ridge -- ridge : say it . stephanie : i could have handled the situation differently . ridge : and in fact , should have . stephanie : yes . brooke : is that an apology ? ridge : is it ? stephanie : yes . ridge : do you accept ? brooke : yes , of course . stephanie : wonderful . ridge : we 're not done , yet , mother . you 're going to make it up to her . stephanie : and how do you propose that i do that ? ridge : oh , you 're gon na be the one proposing , actually . give me your finger . stephanie : you 're not serious ? ridge : i would have done it myself , if i had n't been so rudely interrupted . put it on her finger . put it on her finger . welcome her into this family -- what family you have left . you are done interfering . stephanie : yes . ridge : say it . stephanie : i wo n't interfere . ridge : and you will respect our marriage . stephanie : i 'll respect it . ridge : thank you . this war is over . | stephanie continues to rage on at the press conference , even though eric tries to stop her . ridge orders her out of the room and clark tries to smooth things over with the press , then points a knowing finger at sally . ridge and stephanie go at it , arguing their points without convincing each other . stephanie calls brooke a slut again and this pushes ridge to the limit . he wants it all to stop . eric lends a shoulder to brooke and he tells her he supports her and ridge 's plan for logan designs . bridgette is startled by oscar who orders her around . she sets him straight about that . masssimo shows up to see oscar and tells him his friend died . when mass lectures oscar about the business choices he 's making , oscar orders him out . right after that , a creepy guy dressed like a doctor shows up . he has a huge syringe and starts to inject oscar 's iv 's just as bridgette walks back into the room . when oscar sees that bridgette is puzzled by this goony doctor , he rips the iv 's out of his arm . the bad doc starts to run towards the door and grabs bridgette . oscar yells , `` leave her alone ! `` when brooke goes to see how stephanie and ridge are progressing , ridge says he does n't know if any of what he has said has sunk into his mom 's head . he demands stephanie apologize . she does it in a half hearted way and then ridge makes her put the diamond on brooke 's finger . he then puts their hands together and makes his mom agree to never interfere again . it seems that both brooke and stephanie are in disbelief as they both stand there speechless with blank stares on their faces . |

ridge : it would tell thorne that you and i are not responsible for the bad things that happen in his life . we have nothing to do with this preview . at least , we better not . stephanie : thorne , i 'm not asking you to settle for anything . i 'm just asking you to make sure you 've thought this through really carefully . do you really think you win if you lash out at your family ? at the family that loves you ? at the father that 's taught you everything you know ? thorne : and told me what i knew was of no value ? stephanie : he did n't say that . thorne : he did n't need me , mother . well , he was wrong . and he 's going to find out just how wrong he is . you know what ? i did n't want it to turn out this way . stephanie : i know you did n't . thorne : i practically -- i practically begged you to see me for who i am , mother -- a leader . that i was more than capable of taking forrester creations into the future . but you and dad , you just could n't imagine that . stephanie : of course we could . thorne : well , you wo n't have to worry about it now . because i 'm going to show you . i 'm going to show you what forrester could have been with my help and what it will never be without it . stephanie : honey , no one ever doubted your capabilities . thorne : is this concern about me ? is that what this is ? stephanie : yes , of course , it is . i do n't think you 've really thought about the future , thorne . thorne : i have . and all i can say is , it 's not your problem anymore . not that it ever was . 'cause you see , mother , i 'm not counting on my family for support anymore , because it 's not there . i learned the hard way . you have to make it on your own in this world . you have to create your own success . and that is exactly what i am doing . stephanie : how far are you prepared to go ? i know about the fabric suppliers . thorne : trust me , mother , that 's the least of your worries . stephanie : what are you planning , thorne ? thorne : well , let 's just say , i know how the game is played now , and i am going to play it to the fullest . caitlin : oh , my gosh . rick : oh , man . thomas : here you go . caitlin : thank you , thomas . thomas : here you go . caitlin : i 'm sure that was a mistake , right ?

i mean , i would 've thrown a fit . thomas : yeah , well , your dad 's okay with you and rick now , right ? caitlin : he 's trying . we told him about our decision to slow things way , way down . thomas : things ? what things ? caitlin : you know . thomas : i know , i 'm just giving you a hard time . i think it 's great that you guys are waiting . caitlin : yeah , well , some things are just worth waiting for . you know ? thomas : yes . yes , i do . i 'm gon na go for a swim . caitlin : thomas , your back . thomas : what about it ? caitlin : are those scratch marks ? ridge : r.j . okay ? brooke : yeah . i 'll bring him back out after his nap . so did i miss anything ? ridge : i 'm still trying to convince dad that we have nothing to worry about with forrester 's newest rival . eric : i 'll say it again , ridge . do n't be so quick to dismiss your brother . he 's already taken all the fabrics you had on order over to spectra . ridge : that ca n't possibly amount to anything . he has no designs to back them up . eric : ridge , we do n't know that . ridge : come on . thorne may bring a lot to the table here , but he 's not a designer . there 's no way that collection can live up to all the buzz . eric : it 's really down to the wire now . i just hope stephanie can get through to him . stephanie : you sound so ruthless . thorne : so much like ridge , you mean ? stephanie : do n't blame him for your choices now . thorne : i 'm not . i 'm through blaming . i 'm through complaining . you want something in life , you go get it . that 's what i 've learned . stephanie : i 've learned , too , honey . i 've learned some very painful lessons . and i -- thorne , i 'm sorry . i am so sorry . i -- i ca n't believe that this is too late . clarke : what is going on in here ?

give up his shot at the big time ? thorne , i hope you are not listening to this . they had their chance , they had years to give you your due . but what do they do instead ? they give it all to ridge . pump up his ego , leave little brother behind -- again . and do n't you deny it . i 've seen it . we 've all seen it for years . do you know what you 're going to see this time ? you 're going to see what a mistake you made not believing in this man . stephanie : but i do believe in my son . i 've always believed in him . clarke : right . that 's why you forced him out of the company . stephanie : you 'll never , never know how your father and i agonized over that decision . we 're so angry with ourselves that we could n't find a way to make it work . we 're so -- we just keep hoping that it will all work out . honey , the truth is , without you there -- i know we hurt you . i know you 're still hurting . i understand that and -- i refuse to believe that my son is lost to me . i refuse to believe that we ca n't make this work out , that we ca n't heal the wounds that are existing right now between us , that we ca n't start over again . i love you , honey . i love you . your father loves you . and we want you to come back . please ?

( laughs ) donna : what ? marcus : surfing the net on company time ? hmm ? not to worry . i have an in with the guy who runs this place . i 'll make sure eric goes easy on you . katie : speaking of eric , where is he ? marcus : yeah . he 's -- he 's not sick or anything , is he ? donna : no . no , but thank you for being concerned . marcus : are you kidding ? after everything that man 's done for me ? took me under his wing at forrester , gave me this great opportunity -- i mean , he 's been nothing but supportive since the first day i met him . i guess you could say he 's -- he 's kind of like a father figure . ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] jackie : oh , nicky , please stop worrying about me . i 'm fine . ( sighs ) actually , i 'm anything but fine . my husband did n't come home last night . i 'm worried sick that he 's left me , which is probably what i deserved considering ... ( key jingles in lock ) jackie : i got to go . owen 's here . owen : ( sighs ) jackie : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] eric : marcus , there you are . just the man i 'm looking for . marcus : is everything okay ? i mean , i do n't want to be in hot water with the boss now . eric : no , no , no . no , no , no . just the opposite , as a matter of fact . you get nothing but high praise from me . i appreciate very much your work around here and your contributions , your skill , your talent , the way you stepped up when thorne was gone . marcus : so this would be , um , a great opportunity then for me to hit you up for a raise then , right ? eric : yeah , no , no , no . there 's never a really good opportunity for that . marcus : ( laughs ) eric : look ... ( groans ) things get so hectic around here , i - i seldom get the opportunity to , uh , tell you how much i appreciate your contribution , but i do , more than you know , actually . plus , when is see -- when i see how happy it makes donna to have her son in her life ... ( sighs ) when i think how hard it must have been for her to give you up when you were a baby ... but she did , and that 's all in the past -- the distant past , and that 's where it should stay for both of you . [ scene_break ] katie : so you never did explain about last night . donna : last night ? katie : yeah , you know , that lame excuse you gave so you did n't have to have dinner with bill and me . donna : oh , i , you know , was n't feeling well . it just ... katie : hmm . well , you looked like you were feeling well . oh , come on . what 's this about ? are you still having reservations about my relationship with bill ? donna : well , what does justin think ? i mean , he 's bill 's best friend , right ? katie : yeah . funny you should mention him . you know , it 's such a small world that you two went to high school together . okay , spill it . what was he like back then ? did you have some kind of crazy crush on him ? donna ? donna , what 's wrong ? what 's going on ? donna : you have to promise me not -- not to tell anyone . katie : o - of course . donna : justin barber ... he 's marcus 's father . katie : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] jackie : oh , i 'm glad you 're home . jackie : you know , i - i could n't really blame you i - if you 'd stayed away longer . you know , what i told you a - about my past , it 's a lot to absorb . i am sorry . owen : look , i know . but if you would have just been honest with me , and you would have just opened up and ... you know , come to think of it , even if you had , i ca n't guarantee you that i would have understood . jackie : ( sighs ) no , and -- and you probably never will understand . perhaps that 's the price that i have to pay ... for what i did ... losing the man that i love so desperately , even though he no longer loves me . [ scene_break ] owen : what happened was a long time ago , and maybe it should n't even make a difference but -- jackie : but it does . and if you 'd stayed , it would always just be there between us , and that 's what this really comes down to . owen : no . what it comes down to , jackie , if the fact that you had a child to take care of . you were desperate . you were -- you were alone . you did n't have anybody . you did n't even have your family . look , i understand that , but accepting it is ... look , i know that your way of dealing with things is -- is by not -- by not thinking about it , but , jackie , i 'm not there yet . i - i - i -- jackie : and you 're not sure if you ever will be . [ scene_break ] donna : now do you see why i could n't stay for dinner ? i mean , running into -- to justin like that , and then for you -- for you to just say what you just did . katie : oh , come on . i was just joking about the crush thing . i mean , how was i to know about you two ? you -- you had a lot of boyfriends in high school , donna . i did n't pay attention to all of them . donna : okay , but he was n't just any boyfriend , katie . oh , my god . he was -- he was a star basketball player . i - i was a cheerleader . i was -- was crazy about him . and then one night , it just got carried away and ... i found out that i was pregnant the first -- the very same day that justin found out that he got a basketball scholarship , and ... you know , it was the chance of a lifetime for him , and i knew that if i told him about the baby , i - i just -- i did n't want to hold him back . i just ... katie : so you gave him up and your baby , too . donna : yeah . i never hurt so bad in my life , you know ? it ... ( sighs ) but it was the only decision i - i felt i could make at the time . it was best for the baby . it was -- it was best for me , so i ... ( sighs ) i went to aunt bonnie 's and ... i gave up that little boy for adoption . and i went on with my life the only way i knew how . katie : and justin never suspected that he had a son ? are you gon na tell him ? donna : i do n't know . i mean , i do n't -- i honestly do n't know what 's best for justin or ... or for marcus . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] marcus : you know , they say everything happens for a reason . eric : do you believe that , marcus ? marcus : you know , i believe that i 'm one of the luckiest guys in the world . i mean , finding my mom , getting to work with the greatest fashion designer in the world -- eric : now , wait , wait , wait . you are bucking for a raise here , right ? marcus : ( laughs ) it 's just that i respect you , eric . i mean , not just your talents . it 's like you have this -- this great big heart that -- that touches everything you do , the lives you touch -- i mean , look , my mom , me , your family 's . eric : my family , yeah . and , um , that 's actually how i 've come to think about you , marcus , as part of my family , and that 's why i 've gone ahead with something that i 've been threatening to do for quite some time now . take a look . marcus : `` petition for legal adoption . `` eric : mm - hmm . i have my attorneys working on it now . of course , we 'll have to get the approval of your adopted parents , but , uh , i want you to be my son , marcus . [ scene_break ] owen : look , i 'm sorry , jackie . jackie : no . no , do n't be sorry . the fact that you 're here is a testament to the sweet , decent man that you are . owen : ( sighs ) jackie : i ca n't ask anything more from you . it took me years to finally forgive myself , and i do realize it 's not the way that most mothers would have handled things , but -- owen : you 've never been like everyone else , and that 's what i love about you . [ scene_break ] eric : i might have presumed , uh , a little too much calling my attorneys about this before i even talked to you . marcus : no . no , not at all . i 'm -- i 'm just so overwhelmed . i - i feel so honored . eric : you know , we 've really never had a conversation , you and i , about your adoptive parents , and we 've certainly never talked about your biological father at all . marcus : no , no , no . he , um , he does n't even know i exist . mom never told him . believe me , eric , i 'm -- i 'm completely happy with the way things are now ... marcus : coming to l.a. , finding my mom , having someone like you to turn to , someone that believes me , wants the best for me . marcus : you 're the real father figure to me , eric -- the only father i need . eric : good . so this is where we 're supposed to hug , right ? marcus : and where you 're supposed to ask me to call you `` dad . `` eric : actually , i would like that . i would like that very much . marcus : and so would i ... dad . eric : ( laughs ) ( speaks indistinctly ) good . [ scene_break ] donna : i do n't know . i 'm just so torn . you know , telling justin is one thing , but telling our son ... i mean , what do i even know about his father ? katie : you said you were crazy about him . donna : in high school , katie . but what -- what do i know about him now ? i mean , it 's doubtful that he 's the same guy that i was head over heels about back then and -- i mean , time changes people , you know ? and -- and you -- and you heard marcus . marcus is -- is thrilled about eric and ... katie : yeah , but it -- his feelings for eric do n't have to change just because he gets to know his biological dad . i mean , justin did n't abandon him . listen , honey , this is a big decision , and it 's yours to make . just think about it , okay ? and you might want to feel your son out about it , too . donna : you 're right . you 're right . i mean , 'cause see if he 's interested . if he 's not even interested , why bother telling marcus ? marcus : why bother telling marcus what ? donna : sweetheart , i , um , i - i thought you were looking for eric . marcus : yeah , i found him . well , actually , he found me , but ...

( sighs ) god , i thank god every day for that . being part of my son 's life , it 's -- it 's such a blessing , you know , one that i thought i 'd -- i would never have ... which is why i ... i feel like it 's time . marcus : `` it 's time . `` time for what , mom ? what is it that you have to tell me ? donna : it 's time for you to meet ...

jackie : what a pitch . where 'd all that come from ? rick : my heart . ( laughs ) jackie : oh .

( sighs ) i 've always found this picture a little creepy . bill : none taken . the man was a bloodless cutthroat . what do you want him to look like ? captain kangaroo ? katie : i 'm sorry i never got to meet him . bill : i would rather be a corpse rotting in my own grave than wake up one morning , look in the mirror and see him staring back at me . katie : you ca n't change your history with your father , but you do n't have to repeat it with your son . bill : what choice have i been given ? two weeks ago , i did n't know i had one . katie : that 's not liam 's fault . bill : if he wanted to find me , he could have . he did n't have too much trouble once he put his mind to it , did he ? [ scene_break ] doctor : any particular concerns ? his weight is good , color 's fine , temperature 's fine . bridget : good boy . owen : uh , yeah , i - i have one . it 's , uh , his eyes . well , i mean , his left eye . sometimes when he wakes up , it 's kind of stuck shut . bridget : i did notice that this morning . doctor : let 's have a look . [ scene_break ] jackie : so you market yourself as a forrester , not a logan . rick : there 's no marketing here . i am a forrester . jackie : half . bridget 's no rube . neither is your mother . but i mean , all this ... rick : yes , this is forrester style . have you forgotten ? i lived in paris for years . jackie : ahh . rick : and even before that , i 've always had a taste for the finer things in life . jackie : hmm . rick : that 's why i brought you here . ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] doctor : it does appear logan may have a blocked tear duct . now it 's not uncommon , and it usually resolves itself , but there is a little redness in that eye . so i think it , uh , makes sense to give him some eye drops . one drop twice a day for five days , and that should clear it up . bridget : thank you . well , good catch , dad . logan : ( fusses ) [ scene_break ] jackie : it 's very subjective , though , is n't it , what constitutes the finer things in life ? i mean , i hope you do n't think that i 'm shallow enough to value an admittedly superb champagne over an adoring husband . rick : has anyone ever told you that you and owen make a very unlikely couple ? jackie : looks can be deceiving , though . that 's what they 're for . rick : and you never once wondered , is there something that everybody else is seeing but i do n't ? jackie : how would that be , rick , that owen is n't good enough for me , but he just might be good enough for bridget ? please , give me some credit . rick : no , i 'm sorry . it -- it 's -- it 's not a matter of good enough . i 'm simply making a declaration of interest . most might say that three people in a marriage is , i do n't know , too many . i am just simply here to remind you that you have another really damn good option . [ scene_break ] hope : i feel bad . i - i know that i 'm partly the reason why you ca n't get a better job . liam : how do you figure that ? hope : well , everybody knows about the -- the scandal and the lawsuit , and they know you 're caught in the middle of it . liam : wait , hope , how is that your fault ? you should be blaming me . i mean , everybody else does . hope : i think you should be insisting that your father make things right . liam : i wish you would n't call him that . hope : ( sighs ) look , all i 'm saying is that he has sold plenty of magazines and gotten plenty of air time on his cable network because of this , and here you are bargain shopping for dinner . it 's not fair . [ scene_break ] katie : i do n't know how to be a good copilot for you with this . it obviously cuts you to the core . bill : the only good thing my father ever did for me was die . bill : look , i made the kid an offer . i extended myself . i told him he would have money if he wanted . katie : maybe that 's not what he wants a father for . bill : so why did he wait all these years to show up ? a man does n't do that , katie . a man claims who he is . he hid behind his mother . i never hid from my father . it was n't my fault he wanted nothing to do with me . katie : and yet you act like it 's liam 's fault that you feel the same way . [ scene_break ] jackie : my life with owen is all about `` options . `` he wanted to be a father . i did n't want to be a mother again . now we both have what we want . rick : yes , diapers and sleepless nights , preschool and playdates . jackie , that does n't sound like what you want right now . forgive me . i ...

( chuckles ) bridget : rick , what are you doing ? i - i do n't want you scheming . i told you to please leave her alone . rick : well , it 's too late . i 'm already here . bridget : rick , no . rick : look , she 's a smart woman , okay ? nobody 's fooling her . she has a decision to make , and so do you . the game has changed . everything has changed . bridget : i 'm not listening to this . i 'll se you at home in a minute . [ scene_break ] katie : you were cheated , bill . this woman , liam 's mother , maybe she thought she had a good reason for keeping you away from your son . but the bottom line is , you were cheated , and so was he . but i do n't think it 's right for you to blame him for accepting his mother 's choice . that 's what we do when we 're kids . we believe that our parents know what 's best for us . it 's not until later where we start questioning everything we 're taught . you did n't have the chance to take responsibility for your son when he was born , but you have the chance to do that now . he 's angry . you 're angry . maybe he hates your guts . bill : ( sighs ) katie : maybe he does n't . but i can tell that it hurts you . and the question is , are you gon na be the bigger man and turn the other cheek ?

[ insects chirping ] brooke : you said that liam 's blackmailing you . bill : yes . my own son . brooke : and you stepped down from spencer publications because he 's forcing you out . okay , this is all making a horrible kind of sense . spencer is your baby ! you love that company ! there 's no way you would ever walk away ! unless ... what happened ? obviously liam has something on you . what did you do , bill ? ! steffy : what bill did was wrong , and you and your father , you are in a precarious situation right now . and if you 're not careful , your relationship could be ruined for the rest of your life . bill is willing to meet you in the middle . liam : i 'm not interested . steffy : you 're angry , and you want to teach bill a lesson . well , fine . mission accomplished . now it 's time to find a mutual understanding . liam : why -- [ scoffs ] why would i want to do that ? steffy : because he 's your father , liam ! do n't shut the door on him ! be willing to give a little . wyatt : agh ! katie : what ? what -- what -- what is wrong ? [ chuckles ] wyatt : i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i just -- i - i - i ca n't seem to shake what happened to me today . the craziest thing . katie : what ? what ? wyatt : dad -- dad stepped down . katie : stepped down ? wyatt : from spencer publications . katie : [ chuckling ] you 're joking . wyatt : no , he took a sudden leave of absence , and apparently his mind , because , uh ... he made liam c.e.o . so then i went to go see dad , and he confirmed it . katie : that 's crazy ! wyatt : i know ! liam is completely unfit to -- to run spencer ! and i thought dad knew that ! i was sure he knew that ! oh , and get this . liam 's got a whole new business plan he wants to roll out , and -- and god knows what that 's gon na be . katie : do you think that this is what steffy was warning me about ? wyatt : could be . katie : i mean , it 's certainly a bombshell . wyatt : yeah . katie : there was no clue that this was gon na happen ? wyatt : no . and i 've been working closely with dad a lot lately , and -- and there has been no sign . not at any point was he ever , like , wanting a vacation . it 's -- it 's absurd . katie : no , i mean , the bill i know never wanted to go on vacation . wyatt : no , something 's definitely not right here . liam : what are you doing right now ? steffy : i 'm trying to keep this family together . liam : do -- [ scoffs ] do you have any idea how much i do n't want to hear my own wife defend the indefensible ? my father is a liar , a cheat , a bully , and an arsonist . what if one of the spectras had been inside the building , hmm ? what if somebody got killed ? what if -- what if i had hit my head on the corner of this desk when my dad clocked me ? you want me to sit down and have a little chat with him ? steffy ... i love you , but i have said all i have to say to that man . there 's no forgiving him . brooke : whatever you did is serious ! bill : and i 'll work it out . i always do . brooke : god , bill , stop blowing me off ! look , i hate to ask , but how did you give up your leadership and just hand it over to liam ? obviously he has something on you ! how did he blackmail you into making him c.e.o . of your company ? ! katie : i do n't understand how things could change so drastically overnight . wyatt : i know . katie : and i ca n't imagine bill ever leaving the company , but if he did , we were talking about how he would make you c.e.o . wyatt : right ! that 's what he led me to believe . i mean , he did n't say it outright . he , you know , he always says things by implication . but , i mean , all those conversations over steak and scotch , like how much alike we are , it 's ... katie : well , that 's true , and it 's probably something that he 's proud of . wyatt : yeah , but then this happens ? no warning ? he -- he -- he leaves the company and then anoints liam ? katie : and he does n't give you a straight answer when you confront him about it . wyatt : exactly . and liam 's acting weird , too . what could possibly have happened between those two ? and liam ? seriously ? it does n't even make any sense . steffy : your father deeply regrets what happened . liam : the only thing my dad regrets is that he got caught , and now he 's paying for it . he 's using you , steffy . he 's just trying to get me to change my mind and give him his power back . do n't -- do n't kid yourself this is about anything else . steffy : i do n't care about the company . you two can divvy it up however you want . liam : i 'm not doing any divvying . i 'm in charge now . period . you know , if i squint , i can actually see why my dad got off on sitting in this chair , because power means you can get things done . well , as it happens , there are things , things i want to get done . so i 'm gon na go ahead , and i 'm gon na hold on to this power , and i 'm gon na use it for good instead of giving it back to my dad so he can wreak more havoc . it 's a new dawn , steffy . there 's no place at spencer for my dad 's ways . brooke : please , bill . please just let me in . explain to me how liam can blackmail you out of your own company . bill : spencer tower . i just wanted to build my crowning achievement . i mean , i held that vision in my head for so long , and it was finally becoming a reality . my skyscraper would dominate the l.a. skyline from the perfect location , and nothing and nobody was going to stop me . that building was going up . whatever i had to do . brooke : okay , well , i do n't understand . that building is still going up . there was a fire at spectra , and you said that they did n't have insurance , so they had to sell the property , and c.j . agreed to sell it to you . bill : the fire . brooke : it was horrible . they did n't deserve that . bill : seems to be the consensus . brooke : i really feel bad for the spectras , actually . i mean , when the original sally left , the building got neglected , and then young sally came in , and she did whatever she could to keep the doors open . i mean , i really think if she had one more day , they would have succeeded . it 's unfortunate , but accidents do happen . and if you 're feeling guilty about buying the property -- bill : it was n't an accident . brooke : i 'm sorry ? bill : the spectra fire was n't an accident . brooke : then if it was n't an accident , what was it , bill ? wyatt : hmm . you know , when -- when my father gave me this sword , it meant everything to me . just so much symbolism in it . i actually had a father . that he accepted me and there was a family that i belonged to . besides my mother , of course . and the more i got to know him , i just ... i realized how much of a spencer that i really am , all the time we spend together hanging out . and i know dad loves liam . but he and i just -- we connected on this whole different level . katie : you saw yourselves in each other . wyatt : exactly . that 's why i thought i was next in line . if dad was ever gon na resign , like ... there 's more going on here . katie : i think you 're right . and we will figure it out together . wyatt : together . liam : all right . why are you looking at me like that ? steffy : i 've just never seen you talk this way . you 're changing , liam . liam : you do n't think it 's about time ? time to stop enabling every heinous thing my father decides to set loose and start standing up for what i believe in ? what a welcome change that is . brooke : that fire was horrible . sally spectra lost everything . the building , her designs , her future . bill : i know . brooke : you said that the fire was n't an accident , which implies ... do you think it was deliberately set ? bill : yes . brooke : who would do such a thing ? who hates the spectras that much ? bill : it was n't about hate . i just could n't wait any longer for them to fail . so i called justin in . i ordered it . brooke : no . bill : liam knows . that 's what he 's using to blackmail me . he recorded me without my knowledge . i mean , can you imagine ? my own son betraying me that way ! i trusted that boy ! i gave him everything , and how does he repay me ? by setting me up ! he said that if i did n't resign and appoint him c.e.o . , he would go to the cops ! brooke : you ... set fire to that building ? bill : i did n't light the match , but yes . i ordered it . brooke : [ voice breaking ] you ordered it ? arson ! the day before their show , you -- you committed arson ? ! my god , bill ! what are you thinking ? ! you could have killed all those people ! bill : no , no , no , no . we made sure there was nobody in the building . brooke : oh , my god . what difference does it make ? sally ended up in the hospital ! bill : i know that ! and -- and i feel terrible about it ! i mean , how was i supposed to know they were gon na come back and run into a burning building ? brooke : my god . [ sighs ] i used to admire the way you ran your business . not that i agreed with all of your methods . and i loved you for you who were no matter all your flaws ! now this ? this criminal behavior ! how could you ? how could you ? ! katie : i never dreamed that this could happen , you and me . wyatt : it 's because you 've been overthinking it . katie : hmm . guess you 're right . not anymore . wyatt : mnh - mnh . katie : i 'm just along for the ride . wyatt : it 's been a pretty good one so far , has n't it ? katie : yeah . one of the best . wyatt : `` one of `` ? `` one of the best `` ? katie : well , you know , like top five or six . wyatt : oh , my -- i am gon na have to do so much better . katie : [ chuckles ] okay , top three . wyatt : yes . making headway . i just want to tell you how nice it is to be able to come over here and just shake off the crazy . i 'm -- i 'm glad i have you . not -- not that i , like , i presume that i `` have you . `` like , you know ... katie : you can have me all you want . steffy : of course you should stand up for what you believe in . no one 's saying you shouldn't . liam : so -- so what ? you just want me to kiss and make up with my dad ? all is forgiven ? no big deal burning out the spectras ? steffy : bill made a mistake . he admits it , and he regrets it . liam : the only thing he regrets is losing . do n't believe a word he says . steffy : i think he means it . and he 's sorry about the fire . liam : you know , when i looked up at him from my vantage point on the floor after he smashed my face in , remorse was not the look in his eyes as he stood over me vowing to decimate me . steffy , i 've been manipulated by him so long . do n't let him do it to you , too . steffy : i get why you 're mad . i just have reservations about the way you 're expressing it , because he is your father . liam : no . no . i do n't forgive him . and i won't . bill : look , i 'm not gon na stand here and make excuses . i did what i did , and i 'm sorry about it . i should n't have done it . brooke : you should n't have done it ? it never even should have crossed your mind . it was vile , bill ! the most disgusting thing i 've ever heard ! you actually almost killed people ! and you think you 're gon na get away with this ? bill : i 'm not getting away with anything , brooke ! brooke : liam is right ! if i did n't force the issue , would you even have told me ? bill : i wanted to contain it . a situation like this , the fewer people that know , the better . brooke : i 'm your wife ! what you do directly affects me ! bill : yes . yes . you 're -- you 're right . of course you 're right . i 've done a lot of things lately that i regret . brooke : oh ! there 's more ! bill : i hit him . brooke : who ? liam ? you hit your own son ? bill : i just reacted ! brooke : oh , my god . bill : i - i was angry ! i was emotional ! he was threatening to have me arrested ! i mean , are -- are you hearing me ? ! he was trying to take my company ! he was kicking me out of my own building ! brooke : you know what i hear ? i hear that you love your company more than anything else ! [ sighs ] where ? ! bill : where what ? brooke : where did you hit him ? ! bill : in the face . brooke : oh , my god . who are you ? first you order arson , then you physically attack your son , and you lie to me ! you lie to me about taking a leave of absence . bill : it 's what it is . i have no intention of letting this mutiny just sit . are you kidding me ? brooke : [ scoffs ] yeah . yeah , you 're just planning your next plan of attack . it 's gon na be disgusting and vile , i am sure . [ sighs ] were you ever gon na tell me ? you know what ? i do n't want to know . bill : what are you doing ? brooke : i do n't want to be here with you here in this house , bill . bill : brooke ! brooke : no , i am so upset . i ca n't even look at you right now ! bill : brooke . i screwed up . i know that . liam , the fire , all of it . i made a mistake , a horrible mistake . i recognize that . i learned my lesson ! i swear ! a very painful lesson ! please do n't go . yell at me . throw things at me . tell me i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm a irredeemable bastard ! but do n't go . please . i might lose my son . i ca n't lose you . | brooke repeats what bill just said that he is stepping down from the business so she wants to know what he did to make liam do that . steffy tells liam that do not shut the door on bill ; he is willing to give a little . liam says his dad is an arsonist and he can not condone that . there is no forgiving him . and he could have hurt liam when he cold cocked him . in the midst of almost making a move on katie wyatt tells her he was shaken earlier today when his dad took a leave of absence and made liam ceo . he is completely unfit to run spencer publications and liam has a whole new plan to roll out . katie says that is certainly a bombshell . he says he has been working a lot with his dad lately and there was no sign of this coming on . something is definitely not right here and with no warning . something happened between him and liam but this does not make sense . liam tells steffy that the only thing that happened is that bill is using her to try and get the company back , but he is in charge now , period . there are things he wants done . he has the power now and he is going to use it to get things done . there is no place now for his dad . brooke says it is obvious that liam has something on bill so he needs to tell her what he did . bill says spencer tower , it was finally becoming a reality for sky and nothing was going to stop him .. whatever he had to do . she mentions the fire and there was no insurance for spectra but accidents do happen so no need for him to feel guilty . he blurts out that the fire was not an accident . she wants to know what it was then . |

stephanie : i could n't convince him not to do that . i 'm sorry , sally . sally : it 's okay . i was halfway expecting you to say that anyway . stephanie : you know , he just -- he just has blinders on when it comes to this woman . sally : you know something ? i could really use a drink . stephanie : you know , when this office was mine a long time ago , eric used to keep a bottle hidden away just for special occasions . maybe he did this time , too . it 's irish . sally : sacred liquid . stephanie : here 's looking at you , kid . sally : up the long ladder , down the short rope . both : smooth . oscar : who says i 'm in trouble ?

[ scene_break ] donna : i mean , i could n't even get into my own house . eric was on the other side of the door , and i could n't even see him . so i - i wrote him a letter to try to explain everything , but i - i do n't even know how to get it to him . i mean , i have been waiting , and i 've been hoping , and i 've been praying for him to wake up from this coma , and now that he has , i - i mean , he 's there and able to communicate , and -- ( sighs ) i - i just want to talk -- i just want to talk to him . i just -- i just want to hold him . marcus : it must have been real upsetting for eric to see you with owen like that . donna : owen was comforting me , that 's all . marcus : kissing you is comforting you , mom ? donna : marcus , i honestly believed that he was never coming back to me . if i thought there was any kind of a chance , i -- tell me you believe me . tell me you know that this is just some big misunderstanding .

[ chuckles ] ... object to phasing her out eventually , but ... you 're the boss . rick : if i 'm the boss , it 's because of you . we 're working on this line because of your talent . you saved my job , caroline . you know , my dad keeps telling me that you 're good for me , and i keep telling myself that he 's right . [ smooches ] carter : i meant what i said about taking time . i know how you felt about rick . look , i do n't expect those feelings to disappear just because you 're wearing my ring . maya : thank you . carter : i 'm gon na give you everything -- no drama , no divided feelings . maya : that 's all i 've ever wanted -- a man who would stand by me , who supports me , who shares my interests , supports my career ... who loves only me . i thought it was rick . and i was wrong . it 's you -- the man who was here all along . how did i not see it ? brooke : maybe katie 's right . bill : she was ... when she said we should be together . brooke : no , i do n't mean that . she was talking about how quickly this was happening , and she 's still mourning her marriage . and here we are . you 're staying with me . bill : do you wish i was n't ? brooke : no . i 'm happy . bill : then why was katie right ? brooke : because your divorce is n't final . are we waiting ? bill : are we ? it 's amazing , so amazing how i 've survived this road feel the fever , i can feel it down inside my soul and i will be the one to build you up i 'll build you up and be the one to never doubt i 'll never doubt , oh , oh pam : uh , sorry to interrupt , but i have to set up for the next meeting . caroline : oh , yeah . the , uh , accessories , right ? pam : yep . caroline : uh , hope 's coming in ? pam : yep . and so is eric . so , i guess it 's only rick that 's gon na miss it . caroline : what ? why ? pam : well , because i just saw him leaving . caroline : really ? w - where was he going ? pam : he did n't say , but i definitely got the impression that he was gone for the day . caroline : oh . that 's weird . pam : are you worried that maybe he 's -- caroline : no . i - i 'm not . things are going really well between us . i just -- i do n't want that to change . i do n't want to lose him again . maya : engaged ? [ chuckles ] carter : can you believe it ? [ chuckles ] maya : rafael will be thrilled . can you think of the publicity ? carter : another season of `` room 8 . `` well , i hope that ride continues . not that it matters as long as we do . roommates for life ? maya : for life . [ knocking on door ] rick : maya ? [ knocking continues ] rick : maya , are you home ? hey . maya : hi . rick : hey , um , can we -- can we talk ? maya : this is n't really the best time . | carter asks maya again if she will marry him . there is no tv , he is not lance , it is carter . she is stunned . he knows this is quick and out of the blue so he will give her more time if she needs it . rick has been out of the picture for so long and carter is confident that this is the right time . and he knows maya would want a man who appreciates her and understands her . he is the one who is stunned now when she says yes . he slips the ring on her finger . he says he knew this the first time he saw her . he did n't know how it would happen but there was no other woman and he did not give up . she says she thought it was rick , but she was wrong . she needs a man who supports and only loves her . rick and caroline have some models show their gowns with quinn 's jewelry . pam even walks in with a new necklace instead of her usual pearls . caroline senses rick is down because of seeing the pix of maya around yet she chose to resign . she says it is okay , she does n't mind . actors have a different way of thinking and this is maya . he appreciates her understanding of this . she says the right things . eventually she wo n't be unhappy if maya is phased out but for now it is all right . |
liam : what more do you need , wyatt ? we 've got security footage , we 've got photos , we 've got proof that she was on the same flight . it was her . your mother was in paris , and she pushed ivy into the seine . quinn : are you kidding me ? it 's so grainy , you can hardly see a thing . liam : this is you at charles de gaulle airport ! it 's you on a scooter headed towards the eiffel tower . quinn : i do n't even know how to ride a scooter ! liam : how do you explain this from customs , then ? quinn : i told you , i was in paris for a job interview ? wyatt , would you please get him out of here ? wyatt : mom , the truth . quinn : why are you letting him get to you ? he wants hope back . that 's what this is all about ! wyatt : did you do this ? did you push ivy into the seine ? [ scene_break ] brooke : it was n't that long ago when you were with liam . hope : no , not at all . brooke : now you 're married to wyatt , and he wants to start a family . that 's a lot to consider . hope : yeah . and i have no doubt that wyatt will make an amazing father . brooke : but you imagined a life and a family with liam . hope : yeah . that 's how i always pictured it , and it 's -- it 's hard to let go of that . [ breathes deeply ] you know , but now i -- i am married to someone else , and we 're happy , and we 're starting a life together , but ... i 'm so young , and there 's so much that i want to do . i -- i 'm just not ready to start a family . brooke : is that it ? or do you still have feelings for liam ? [ scene_break ] oliver : i 'm not saying that it will happen , but if we ever get tired of medieval knights -- aly : whoa , whoa . wait . what ? never , my lord . bite your tongue . oliver : just to mix things up a little bit . you know , like one saturday a month . aly : i 'm scared to ask . oliver : what do you think of wrestling ? aly : like ... professional wrestling ? oliver : it 's something like that . except the guys are a lot sweatier , and you get to eat nachos . aly : no . no . no , no , no . oliver : what ? ! come on ! aly : no , i 'm not doing it . oliver : come on . please ? please ? aly : [ sighs ] ugh . okay . maybe for your -- maybe for your birthday . maybe . [ laughing ] ivy : hey , guys . sorry . aly : hey . are you okay ? ivy : yeah , look , i 've been hearing about how crazy quinn is and up until now i thought i was able to avoid her but it turns out i was extremely wrong . [ scene_break ] aly : did quinn do something ? ivy : do you remember me telling you i had a feeling i did n't fall off the bridge ? that i was pushed ? aly : yeah . ivy : yeah , well , i told charlie that , too , and he thought it was odd , so he did a little digging , and it turns out we were right . i was pushed -- by none other than quinn fuller . oliver : w - what ? aly : but she was n't even in paris . ivy : she was . unbeknownst to us at the time . she was even on our flight . she followed us all the way from the airport , all the way up into the eiffel tower , and then -- oliver : quinn caused the distraction . ivy : uh - huh . oliver : knowing that liam would jump in after you . aly : she wanted to keep him away from hope . [ scene_break ] hope : i do care about liam . i 'm always going to care about liam . he was the love of my life . brooke : but you 've moved on . hope : yeah . but i ca n't deny that things would be different right now if liam had shown up in paris . i would probably be with him . brooke : yes , you would be married to liam , not to wyatt . hope : but how could i have known that liam was there ? how could i have known what happened to ivy ? brooke : inexplicable twist of fate . hope : exactly . that 's exactly what it is ! i mean , what are the odds that that would happen to liam just as he is supposed to meet me ? i mean , is n't that a sign ? brooke : of what ? hope : that i am supposed to be with wyatt . that maybe , after all this time , liam were never meant to be together . [ scene_break ] wyatt : are you responsible for this ? quinn : oh , come on . wyatt : just tell me , mom ! and do n't lie to me ! quinn : okay . fine . it was me . i knocked ivy into the river . liam : yeah . quinn : honey , i am so sorry . i know it was wrong , but it does n't change anything . wyatt : ma , how could you even say that ? quinn : because hope 's already made her decision ! she chose you ! liam : no , no , no , no ! you made that decision for her , quinn , when you deliberately misled her into believing i was n't showing up when i did . quinn : they 're married , liam . you need to respect that . and that is all that really matters . liam : we 'll see how much it matters when she finds out what you did . [ scene_break ] liam : sorry . i am not respecting a marriage that was born of deception . the only reason hope married you , wyatt -- and i 'm sorry -- is because she thought i was n't there . and the only reason i was n't was because of what your mother did . quinn : you expect hope to punish her husband for a mistake i made ? liam : a mistake ? quinn , you planned the whole damn thing . okay ? there was no job interview . your sole purpose for being in paris was to sabotage me . in fact , i 'm beginning to think your sole purpose in life is to sabotage me . quinn : i honestly thought i was doing everyone a favor . wyatt : mom ! you know what ? i think you should just go , okay ? just go . quinn : no , i 'm not leaving you alone with him . liam : [ chuckling ] oh , yeah . 'cause i 'm the dangerous one . [ taps ] do n't worry . i 'm on my way out anyway . quinn : what are you gon na do ? go tattle to hope ? wyatt : mom , stop ! liam ! just ... let me tell her , okay ? please ? liam : i 'm sorry , wyatt . i do n't trust you not to spin it . quinn : you 're so selfish . hope and wyatt are happy , and if you cared about her , you would n't ruin that for her ! liam : hope deserves the truth . she needs to understand that she married into a family of crazy people , because shoving ivy into the seine , quinn -- that is criminal . it 's damn criminal . she could have been injured or killed . quinn : but she was n't . there was n't even a scratch . liam : wyatt , i would prepare yourself . hope 's coming back to me . wyatt : just s - stop . [ scene_break ] ivy : liam has the video . there is no way quinn can deny it . aly : does hope know ? ivy : [ sighs ] liam went to go and tell her . aly : he must be furious . you , too . i mean , you 're the one who got pushed . ivy : i know ! i still ca n't believe it . oliver : that woman is certifiable . i wonder how hope 's gon na react . ivy : well , liam seems to think it could bring them back together . aly : another manipulation ... by hope 's own mother - in - law . oliver : should make for some pretty awkward family dinners . aly : assuming she stays married to wyatt . oliver : you think it might break them up ? aly : who knows ? finding out liam was in paris did n't change hope 's mind , so who says this will . ivy : yeah . i 'm not sure she ever truly wanted to marry him . this could be a way out . oliver : definitely complicates things . ivy : [ sighs ] you should have seen him that day . i just -- i feel terrible for liam . he was so optimistic . he just wanted to sweep her off her feet . aly : and in an instant , everything changed . ivy : now liam and hope have a chance to get their life back together . [ scene_break ] hope : i really do love wyatt , despite his crazy mother , and i know that we would be good parents . brooke : of course you would be . but you have a career , and you 're very busy . a baby would really affect that . hope : yeah . i 've thought about that , and ... uh , as weird as it sounds , i have also thought about how it would affect liam . i mean , marrying wyatt so quickly hurt him , and then if i was to get pregnant right away with wyatt 's baby , he would be devastated . brooke : i do understand you . hope : yeah . brooke : maybe this is n't the right time . hope : okay , so ... when is the right time ? [ chuckles ] brooke : when you do n't have any more doubts . hope : in that case , i think i 'll wait a little longer . [ chuckles ] brooke : take it day by day . the universe has a very mysterious way of working things out . hope : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone rings ] hope : [ sighs ] hey . liam : hey . i need to speak to you . can you meet me at my house ? it 's important . hope : um , ye -- uh , yeah . yeah , i - i 'll be right there . [ scene_break ] aly : you 're being really strong , ivy . ivy : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm glad it appears that way . aly : i 'm serious . what happened does n't just affect hope and liam . it affects you , too . ivy : yeah . i mean , could you imagine if a boat was coming or if the current was stronger ? i could have died ! aly : that 's not what i meant . ivy : i was always rooting for liam and hope . i still am ... if that 's what liam really wants . [ sighs ] i - i should have known better than to have fallen for him . oliver : do n't be too hard on yourself . you thought the guy was single . aly : and quinn interfering opened the door for you and liam . ivy : yeah , well , that door might be closing , all thanks to quinn . [ scene_break ] quinn : thanks for not reaming me out in front of liam . wyatt : i do n't -- i do n't even know what to say to you . quinn : i 'm so sorry , honey . i should n't have done it . i made a bad decision . wyatt : do n't -- do n't do that . do n't pretend like you have any kind of regrets . you 're just mad because you got caught . quinn : well , of course i did n't want liam to find out . look at what he 's doing ! he 's sending everybody into a tailspin unnecessarily . wyatt : if i was him , i would have done the exact same thing . quinn : what difference does it make ? hope married you ! she was n't drugged . she was n't coerced . you did n't drag her to monte carlo . she said `` yes `` all on her own . wyatt : that 's not the point , mom . quinn : no , no . liam is just mad because hope does n't want to be with him anymore . he thinks this little tidbit is gon na get her back , but she knows , honey . she knows that he was in paris . she knows that he was on that bridge . and it did n't make one lick of difference . wyatt : yeah , but she did n't know why it all happened . my crazy mother just doing her thing again . quinn : hope loves you . she would n't have married you otherwise . do n't start doubting your relationship now . [ scene_break ] singer : when we started our story who knew where it would go the chapters moved so quickly you loved me or so you told me but something happened , and the plot turned cold the pages stopped turning and now we 're on hold but if i can turn back the hands of time i would change so much more than history tonight if you could grant me a second chance i 'd be the boy that you once knew , and i swear that you 'd say `` i do `` liam : [ sighs ] hope : liam ?

[ chuckles ] liam : oh , god . i ca n't believe we 're at this point in our relationship . hope : yeah . yeah , i 'm married . liam : yeah , about that ... you 're married to the wrong guy . hope : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] wyatt : how many times have i asked you to stop manipulating ? quinn : this was too important . i could n't let hope make the biggest mistake of her life . wyatt : yeah . and did therapy even help you at all ? or did you even go ? quinn : i do n't -- i only wanted to help . i - i 'm sorry that i caused so much trouble . wyatt : you know , maybe liam 's right . what 's to stop hope from just running back to him ? quinn : because i will talk to her . i 'm gon na explain that this was all me and you are not to blame . wyatt : no , mom ! just stop it , okay ? ! stop ! you have done enough damage already . there is nothing that you can do to make this okay . do you understand that ? wh - what -- what in the hell am i supposed to do ? you know , hope and i -- we were just settling into our life . we -- we were doing so well . we were talking about starting a family . quinn : well , you will . you are going to have the most beautiful children . wyatt : who would want to have a kid with me ? ! think about it . we have this -- this -- this twisted gene that runs through our family , mom . and -- and i hate to tell you this , but you are not exactly grandmother material . quinn : well , i 'd like to try to be . in fact , i was hoping to mellow out in my golden years . wyatt : wow . do you have any idea how many conversations hope and i have had about how fate intervened in paris ? that 's what brought us together . but it was n't fate . it was n't destiny . it was n't any of that at all . it was you . you pushed ivy off that bridge , risking her life , all so you could keep liam and hope apart . and , yeah , it worked so far . but for how long ? [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] i 'm not sure where this is going . liam : i - i know . i know you 're not . just -- just hear me out , okay ? how do i say this ? okay , before you -- you got here , i was -- i was thinking about us . i was thinking about all the good times we had together , everything that we 've been through , you know ? -- when i first met you and when i proposed to you at your fashion show and i had those -- those goofy signs and then you made me go up to the roof and do it the right way . you remember that ? and how many times , hope -- how many times did we try to marry ? hope : i do n't know . i lost count . liam : so did i . so did i. i got to say , my favorite was probably italy , right ? when you were -- when you were late and you had to ride in the back of that truck ? and it was all because we were manipulated , right ? we were manipulated by our fathers . hope : yeah . sorry , liam . i do n't -- i do n't know where you 're going . why are you talking about this right now ? liam : here 's where i 'm going . it just -- it just keeps on happening . in paris , same thing -- if i had gotten to you on time , we 'd be married right now . we 'd be talking about starting a family together . hope : but you were n't there . you were n't there , and that was the one time that we were n't manipulated . [ chuckles ] liam : except we were . hope : no . i know that ivy fell . i know she did n't do it on purpose . liam : no , no , no . that 's not -- that 's not what i mean . hope , ivy was pushed . hope : wh -- sorry . what ? [ chuckles ] who would do something like that ? liam : who would do something like that -- think about it . who wants to keep us apart more than anything ? quinn . quinn pushed ivy into the seine , and that day -- hope , that day changed our lives . but this -- this moment right now -- is gon na change it back . | liam asks wyatt what more proof does he need . it was his mother in paris and she pushed ivy into the seine . quinn denies it but wyatt stops her and tells her to tell the truth . hope tells brooke that it was n't that long ago that she and liam were planning or talking about having children when they marry , but now she is married to wyatt . and she loves wyatt but she is too young and not thinking about having children right now . if liam had showed up in paris she would be married to him right now . what a coincidence that it was that exact time that ivy fell in the water ad liam rescued her . maybe it is a sign that she is not supposed to be with liam . ivy interrupts oliver and aly and tells them she was right after all . she did not fall but was pushed by quinn into the seine . wyatt has to drag it out of quinn but she finally admits it was her , but it changes nothing . he is married to hope now . liam says see how much longer that lasts when hope finds out the truth . he says he is not going to respect a marriage made out of deception . quinn says hope will not punish her husband for what she did . she says she thought she was doing everyone a favor . liam starts to leave but wyatt wants to tell hope the truth . liam says no , he does n't trust him not to put his spin on it . they better prepare themselves . hope is coming back to him . wyatt wo n't let his mother touch him . hope tells brooke that she really does love wyatt despite his crazy mother . she knows it hurt liam when she married wyatt so quickly , but if she got pregnant too so soon it would devastate him even more . she thinks she should wait a little longer . |
bill : you want to start a fashion house ? wyatt : yeah . bill : spencer is a communications company . wyatt : right , but it 's one of the most influential conglomerates in the world . i 'm telling you , the name speaks power , success . the ceo is quite handsome . that is a nice haircut , by the way . bill : save it . wyatt : okay . bill : we do n't make clothes . wyatt : but if we did , they 'd be the best damn clothes anyone 's ever seen ! am i right ? katie : you ca n't really argue with that . wyatt : see ? ! dad , i 'm telling you . if we do this , and if we do it right , we can beat forrester at their own game .

[ elevator bell dings ] [ scene_break ] bill : just because you can do something does n't mean you should . katie : when was the last time you did n't do something you wanted to do ? bill : he wants to one - up his brother . wyatt : okay . liam does n't know anything about fashion . he had to learn a lot about running a business before you made him president of spencer . i 've got the experience and the know - how . all i need 's a chance . bill : and a company to run . which you expect me to provide . wyatt : it 's a good investment , dad ! i learned a lot at forrester , and now i want to use it . i want to build something of my own . this is the next step for me . i mean , come on . ca n't you understand that ? katie : i understand . but we have to be careful about taking on forrester . they are king of the hill , and they have been for quite some time . wyatt : because no one has challenged them enough . look , that is all about to change . [ scene_break ] quinn : i 'd like to know what ivy did . liam : does n't concern you , quinn . quinn : but ivy and i were partners . she got on steffy 's bad side somehow -- liam : do me a favor . do your job . if ivy had done hers , maybe this would n't have happened . quinn : was she not happy with her work ? liam : no , if -- [ sighs ] ivy let her emotions get the best of her . and she made some decisions that i wish she had n't . and she probably now does , too . quinn : but not decisions about the collection ? liam : no , quinn , steffy needs people that she can rely on . if she ca n't trust your judgment , then you got to go . that 's all i 'm gon na say about it . carter : but you do n't feel good about it . after everything you and ivy went through , liam , man , i know how much you cared about her . liam : yeah , and i still do . i hate this for ivy . she 's a brilliant designer . she contributed a lot to this company . but steffy felt it was necessary to let her go , and i understand why . [ scene_break ] wyatt : the timing could n't be more perfect . bill : forrester 's at the top of their game , wyatt . wyatt : yeah , but they 're focused on themselves . they 're not even thinking about the competition ! bill : what competition ? wyatt : exactly . katie : they 'd never see us coming . wyatt : forrester 's a juggernaut . they have all the lines , international , the stores . our company will be completely different . a new breed of fashion house just stripped down and streamlined . katie : keep your overhead low , maximize profits . wyatt : right . katie : grow the business by putting money back into the product , establish a brand . wyatt : exactly . tell me more ! katie , you know about this business ! you ran forrester for how long ? spencer , too ! i want to know what you think ! katie : i think it 's an interesting idea . wyatt : okay . one that you might want to be a part of ? katie : if it happens . wyatt : okay . that 's perfect . katie and i will run the company , and , dad , you can just rake in all the cash . bill : you really think there 's something to this ? katie : i think it 's something that you should consider . wyatt : great . i want to get started right away . bill : you do n't start a business overnight , wyatt . wyatt : you do n't by dragging your feet , either ! dad ! i know i can do this . i am asking my father to support me here . bill : who 's gon na draw the pretty pictures ? a design house needs a designer . wyatt : we 'll hire the best up - and - coming talent . bill : you need a name . wyatt : well ... how about a forrester ? i hear ivy 's out of a job now . [ scene_break ] ivy : this is n't over , steffy . i have a contract . steffy : it 's being terminated as we speak . ivy : on what grounds ? steffy : you blackmailed me . ivy : i deleted the video . steffy : after threatening me with it for weeks . ivy : oh , steffy , you know i was trying to defend aly . you know how that video looked . steffy : was n't what happened . i said that to you over and over again , and you would n't listen to me . i ca n't work with somebody like that . ivy : i admitted that i went too far . i do n't know what else you want me to do . steffy : you came back here thinking you were still the face of forrester . you did n't feel guilty about how you got it , or about anything , for that matter . i do n't want anything from you , ivy . but you 're done here . you showed your true colors when you held that video over my head . you tried to manipulate me . you want to see what a person 's really like ? give them a little power . look at rick when he was ceo , the way he treated you . and that did n't stop you from using his same tactics on me , being cruel and vindictive . ivy : what about you , what you are doing to me right now ? steffy : honestly , ivy , i really was hoping that we could get past this . but i ca n't . i ca n't forget about it . i need people that i can count on , that i can trust , not turn on each other when things get rough . ivy : steffy , you know that 's not how i am . steffy : yeah , you say that , but what you did says something completely different . i do n't know , maybe ... maybe you should go back to australia or wherever . but your days in la fashion are over .

[ scene_break ] liam : ivy 's not here ? steffy : yeah . but i still do n't think she gets it . liam : that she 's fired ? steffy : no , what -- what she did to me , what she put me through . she threatened me with that video . she -- she accused me for killing aly . i tried to get through to her . you know that . i -- [ sniffles , sighs ] i tried to get through to her , and i tried to make her realize that what she was doing was wrong , and i know that you did that , too , and she did n't care . she let everything that happened with aly , with us , cloud her judgment . i honestly do n't know how i thought we could -- we could work together after that . liam : yeah , well , she sure did . so did wyatt . steffy : yeah . [ sniffles ] no hard feelings , no consequences . liam : well , he is quinn 's son . which makes me wonder . i mean , i know he helped you out and all , but ... steffy : what ? liam : he did n't know you were gon na fire his girlfriend , and that made him very angry . what he said when he left ... steffy : yeah , that we 're gon na regret this decision ? liam : yeah , i do n't like that at all . steffy : neither do i . but wyatt did right by me . the best thing that wyatt could do is get as far away from ivy as he possibly can . [ scene_break ] wyatt : okay , tell me you 're in . ivy : to start a new company ? wyatt : yes ! you , me , and katie ! ivy : i know , but , wyatt , you still have your position at forrester . steffy did n't fire you . wyatt : she could . i could step out of line , and then i 'd be gone . and by dear , old brother wo n't stick up for me , either . ivy , we have to look out for ourselves , and running our own business is the best way to do that . ivy : look , i do n't know what to say . wyatt : say yes . yes . ivy : yes , yes . of course , yes . wyatt : okay . ivy : it 's just -- look , today , leaving forrester , i was devastated . i put in so much work , you know , and what do i have to show for it ? nothing . so then i started thinking maybe steffy 's right . maybe -- maybe i do need to go home to australia . wyatt : what ? ivy : yeah . but then i walk in here , and i see you making all these incredible plans , and i know that you 're gon na say it 's not because of me . it 's all just business . look , hey , i just -- i really , really appreciate it . wyatt : ivy , what steffy did to you was unfair . punishing you after you made things right . ivy : yeah , i know . she said she ca n't trust me . wyatt : well , i do . and my dad and katie will , too . once they see what you can do , i mean , come on . ivy : i do n't even know what i can do . wyatt : but do n't you want to find out ? does n't that turn you on ? finally being able to test your limits and show everyone what you 're capable of ? look ... [ sighs ] after ridge got control of forrester , i asked myself , `` why liam ? why does liam get all the breaks ? why does he get to be vice president of forrester ? why not me ? `` and then it hit me . why not me ? i do n't want to answer to the forresters . i 'm a spencer . there 's a building with my name on it . i do n't have to wait for someone to give me a break . i can make my own . ivy : do you really think we can do this ? wyatt : ivy , i believe in us , our talent , and what we can accomplish together . [ both chuckle ] ivy : yeah , i do , too . wyatt : good . i told steffy and liam that they 're gon na regret firing you . they just made a huge mistake underestimating us . i just -- i ca n't wait to see the look on their faces when they realize it . | wyatt goes back and forth with a skeptical bill that they could make a spencer fashion house work and beat forrester at their own game . even katie leans toward this as something she could sink her teeth into . but it will not be easy since fc has been king of the hill for a very long time . wyatt points out they have not had much competition so this is his chance with his dad 's help . bill is not so sure they should just because they can . spencer has always been a communication company . wyatt also points out fc has international stores ; they will just be a fashion house and concentrate on that . snarky bill asks who will draw the pictures ; they need a name talent . wyatt thinks that is perfect since ivy just lost her job . bill wonders if he is doing this just because of his girlfriend . wyatt says no and he knows it will be tough going head to head with liam . liam likes people to tell him what to do , but he and ivy on the other hand do not . wyatt feels he is a team player but has no place to move up in the company so yes he 'd like to start his own team that is as successful as fc . bill smiles and says he wants to be boss . wyatt says he wants to earn it . steffy is glad when carter looks over the papers and says ivy 's contract can be terminated at any time . |

[ scene_break ] eric : divorce stephanie ? i learned a long time ago not to make plans about my future while drinking martinis . donna : is that how you married stephanie in the first place ? eric : you might think so to look at us now , but there was a time when , uh ... donna : that cold fish was n't so cold ? eric : we had four children . donna : that was a long , long time ago . eric : yeah , things have cooled off since then . donna : who are you kidding ? stephanie put your libido into the deep - freeze . eric : well , maybe that 's inevitable in a relationship that 's gone on and on as long as ours has . donna : baloney . you 're one of the most successful fashion designers in the world , eric . you know women . you love women . you just married one that could n't love you back . eric : well , that 's interesting , coming from a woman who almost convinced my son to make the same mistake . donna : thorne would not have been unsatisfied , believe me . eric : you say it would have been nice being married to thorne . would that have satisfied you ? donna : my life would have been appropriate , respectable . eric : stephanie and i made the respectable decision a long time ago . it has n't made me happy . donna : you know , i 'm starting to think that nothing can make you happy . it 's just something you decide . eric : decide to be happy ? it ca n't be that simple . donna : only one - way to find out . eric : give the young lady whatever she wants . i 'll have my car come back for you after he drops me off to take you home . donna : thank you . eric : no , thank you for the advice . decide to be happy -- that kind of thing could change a guy 's life .

[ scene_break ] katie : so why do you think liam 's mother never told you that she was pregnant ? bill : i do n't know . katie : would you have married her if you had known ? bill : you know , katie , i do n't do `` what ifs . `` they 're pointless . though i definitely would have wanted to be part of my son 's life . katie : and now you are . bill : thanks to you and hope . katie : hmm . hope and liam are kinda cute together , are n't they ? i think she is just what liam needs right now . and you 're just what i need . bill : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] liam : you know this whole day happened because of you , right ? hope : liam , it did n't . liam : no , it 's true . it 's because of you and katie . hope : well , you 're welcome .

( sighs ) you ... you opened up my heart again . it 's beating really fast . feel it . liam : ( chuckles ) mine is , too . so , um ... y - you know , they say when -- when it -- when it happens , it happens hard , and it happens fast . hope : what ? liam : i love you , hope . hope : you 're just -- you 're just feeling gratitude for me and katie . i mean , we put this all together . liam : yeah . yeah . no , i 'm -- i 'm grateful . and i love you . hope : i 'm -- i 'm sure that it 's emotion talking . liam : hope , i love you . hope : really ? you do ? liam : hallelujah , she hears me ! hope : i love you , too . liam : no , you do n't have to -- that 's not what i -- you do n't have to say that . hope : no , i know i do n't have to say it . i want to . i love you , liam . liam : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : oh , ridge , look at them . our daughter ... she 's so happy and safe , appreciated . brooke : you were right . i have n't ruined everything . ridge : oh , logan , of course , you did n't . brooke : oh , she 's glowing . i was so afraid i would n't see her like this again . ridge : i told you hope was gon na be fine . one accident is not gon na destroy everything you 've given her -- a lifetime of unconditional love and affection . i 'd even go so far as to say that whoever has you in their life is pretty damn lucky . brooke : no , no , no . i 'm -- i ... ( laughs ) am the lucky one . ( sniffles ) i love you . ridge : really ? brooke : ( giggles ) ridge : aw , shucks . brooke : oh . ridge : come here . i love you . | liam is shocked that bill is asking him to give him another chance . bill admits that he has a lot to learn . he is out of his element now with a son . he knows he is a son of a bitch most of the time , but not all the time . liam shows him a map of clark lake with a red heart on it in a very specific spot that his mom gave him . he never knew the importance of it until now . he hands it to him . bill looks it over and responds to it by saying that he does n't know if liam is ready to deal with him being his old man . but because of this map and what liam 's mother meant to both of them .they 've missed a lot of years and ca n't get them back but he 'd like the opportunity to try and make up for them if liam will let him . he extends his hand and calls liam son . liam grabs bill 's hand and shakes it . katie has a tear in her eye .. one of happiness . hope tells oliver that she hoped she could get past that night , but there will always be something there between them . he accepts that she needs to take a break between the two of them . he just hopes it is not because of liam . and he no longer sees any sense in wearing the necklace either and he takes it off . she admits she cares for liam a lot . oliver says he is not going to give up on them . brooke and ridge meet on the rooftop . he ca n't wait to get her back in the office on the bedroom line .. he 's bad . they spot oliver and ask what is wrong . he tells them this is his first love and he 's never felt that way before and he 's not just going to throw that away . steffy tells liam that his life will never be the same . bill tells liam that he extended an offer to him once before and liam turned him down . he 'd like to make that same offer .. he 'd like him to come work at spencer , not as an employee but as his son . he will teach him everything he knows everything he would have taught him before had he known . perhaps someday he can take over . bill thinks that is what his mother would have wanted and he knows it is what his father wants . liam agrees but quips only if it is a six figure salary and a corner office . bill chuckles that he likes that , already wheeling and dealing . katie is glad it all worked out . she feels so proud of bill and he states how lucky he is to have her . |
carter : you okay ? maya : yeah . carter : well , it could n't have been easy , seeing rick -- him finding out we 're engaged . maya : he had to know sometime . carter : you were n't exactly prepared . do what you have to do . maya : thank you . maya : rick , wait . quinn : things are good again with you and bill ? wyatt : yeah , he thinks i overreacted . ultimately , i saw his point , he saw mine , and now we 're moving on . quinn : well , that 's good , i guess . wyatt : look , i know you have your reservations , mom . quinn : you are a grown man . i protected you for as long as i could . just be careful , you know ? and do n't forget how easily bill wrote you off . wyatt : duly noted . big meeting , remember ? quinn : oh , i am so excited ! i ca n't believe our little jewelry business in partnership with forrester creations . wyatt : i know ! quinn : [ sighs ] pam : oh ! hi ! they 'll be ready for you in a minute . can i get you something while you 're waiting ?

[ sighs ] eric : let me begin by saying how impressed we are with quinn artisan jewelers and how happy we are to be working with you in this collaboration , especially hope . she 's your biggest supporter . hope : [ sighs ] rick : you 're wearing carter 's ring . maya : i 'm shocked , too . rick : then i do n't understand . maya : carter and i make sense . rick : we do n't ? maya : no , rick . we do n't . rick : i disagree with that , maya . we were fantastic . we were fantastic from the very first moment . maya : it may have felt that way , but -- but it -- it was a fairy tale . and it was incredible . but it was n't reality . i met reality when i saw caroline getting out of your shower . rick : i should have never slept with her that night . maya : but you did ... at the first sign of trouble between us . rick : i had been drinking , a - and caroline was there . maya : just like at the `` room 8 `` premiere . i had been drinking , and carter was there . and yes , we made out . but when it came down to it , i stopped . rick : if you could find a way just to forgive me -- maya : there 's no need . i 'm not angry . i - i hold no bad feelings or ill will . i wish the best for you , rick -- all the happiness you can stand . but find it with caroline . it ca n't be with me . eric : the point people that you 'll be working with are caroline , our extraordinary designer , my son rick , who developed our new international business model , and hope , the embodiment of hope for the future . now , ultimately , she 's the last word , all right ? this is her line , and she 's the one who has to be satisfied . hope : you know , your jewelry designs are very much in sync with the direction that we 're taking . so for this initial launch , we 're going to go with pieces that you already have , you know , making just a few adjustments here and there . but for our next roll - out , you 're going to be working really closely with caroline and me . um , that way , the -- the pieces are specific to the clothing . quinn : ay . do you want to give me some guidelines so i can start sketching out some preliminary ideas ? for example , do you want , um , chunky statement pieces , or would you like it to be a little bit more delicate and classy ? hope : oh , i think there 's room for both . quinn : okay . and you want a full collection -- earrings , rings , bracelets , necklaces ? hope : everything . caroline : and , uh , anklets . quinn : anklets . okay . um , and , um , i was gon na play around with some semi- precious stones . i have a few ideas . hope : great . quinn : okay ! eric : [ chuckles ] and so we begin . all right . here 's our initial order . here we are . hope : [ clears throat ] wyatt : [ clears throat ] [ chuckles ] quinn : [ exhales ] okay . wyatt : serious ? eric : yes . do you anticipate any problems ? wyatt : no ! no , no . it 's -- it 's , uh -- it 's a challenge . i like those . quinn : [ chuckles ] um ... wyatt and i are extremely grateful . we wo n't let you down . wyatt : that 's a promise . rick : you 're serious about marrying carter ? maya : yes . rick : because i keep thinking that maybe we -- we could have a chance . maybe we could start over . maya : with you working alongside caroline like nothing ever happened ? rick : no , no , but we could learn from it . we could move on . maya , i do n't want to lose you ! maya : rick , it wo n't work . we are too different ! and we did work for a really wonderful moment . and i will always carry that with me , but -- i mean , you were the best surprise . you showed up when i needed to feel special , when i needed to feel worthy of something good . i 'll never forget what you did for me . rick : the -- the same goes for me . i wish i had taken better care . maya : but it all works out ! you belong with caroline . and my future ... is with carter . rick : but for a while ... we were the future . quinn : so , the warehouse is in downtown l.a. , so it 's centrally located to everywhere we need to be . eric : it was lovely meeting you . i look forward to our collaboration . quinn : oh , me , too . thank you so much again for the opportunity . eric : you can thank hope . i just sign the checks . quinn : ah , and if i believe that , i 'm sure you have a bridge in brooklyn you 'd like to sell me . [ both chuckle ] wyatt : okay . caroline : well , quinn , it was really nice to meet you . quinn : you , too . caroline : all right . eric : here we go . come on . wyatt : we got work . quinn : [ gasps ] do we ever ! [ laughter ] hope : uh , i 'll walk you guys out ! quinn : okay ! yeah ! wyatt : [ clears throat ] quinn : [ sighs ] this is going to be so exciting . hope : yes , it is ! wyatt : just no flirting on business hours , please . hope : flirting ? uh , in your dreams . wyatt : how 'd you know ? hope : [ laughs ] oh , my -- eric : you and rick okay ? caroline : far as i know ! eric : you seemed very preoccupied during the meeting , and rick missed it altogether . uh , what 's going on ? caroline : i 'm not sure . [ chuckles ] but i 've got maya - spidey ! eric : what 's that ? caroline : it 's kind of like when your senses tingle because you know something without really knowing it . i 'll bet that he 's with her . eric : i thought you and rick are back together again . caroline : for the moment . eric : you think that 's gon na change ? caroline : that 's the thing . i -- i do n't know . rick and i are in a good place . but he really cared for her . so being together just feels ... precarious , like it could slip away at any time . eric : beware of self - fulfilling prophecies . caroline : i 'm just trying to be realistic . there are times where i look at rick , and i can tell that maya 's on his mind . maybe it 'll always be that way . rick : i do n't want to lose you . rick : you know how i feel about you . maya : i love you , too . maya : i -- i love it . rick : and i love you . rick : i really do love you . maya : i love you back . maya : be happy . rick : you , too . hope : [ sighs ] liam : listen , i - i know i joke about this a lot , but this is an issue you and i are gon na have to confront eventually . hope : okay ! liam : so , can you really look me in the eye and tell me i can trust that guy not to make moves on you ? hope : liam , why do you call him `` that guy ? `` he has a name . his name is wyatt . liam : i just saw him totally flirting with you , disrespecting our engagement . i mean , j - just -- just put yourself in my shoes for a minute . i mean , i 'm thinking , what 's he gon na do when i 'm not around ? like , i - i totally called this ! i did n't want him in our lives long before you ever even hired him ! hope : well , technically , i did not hire him . i hired his mom . i hired quinn ! she 's the designer . liam : i totally get that . but he 's part of the package ! hope : but he does n't have to be a problem unless we let him ! liam : you are letting him , hope . hope : liam -- liam , i 'm not doing anything wrong right now ! i - i - i do n't know what you want me to do ! liam : honestly , i know what i said before , but ... [ scoffs ] ... it just keeps getting worse and worse by the day ! and what i really want ... is for you to drop this deal with wyatt and quinn . rick : hey . caroline : hey . you , uh , missed the meeting . rick : ah ... yeah . how 'd it go ? caroline : uh , it went really great . um , i like quinn a lot . and i finally got to meet my , uh , cousin , wyatt . rick : yeah . let me , uh -- let me take them out to lunch . i 'll have a one - on- one , or a two - on - one , i guess . [ both chuckle ] caroline : you were with maya ? rick : yes . caroline : i had a feeling . rick : there 's nothing to worry about . caroline : oh ! who 's worried ? rick : she 's engaged . caroline : engaged ? ! rick : yeah , i know . it 's weird . carter asked her to marry him , and she said yes . she 's wearing the ring and everything . caroline : are you okay ? rick : maya said that we were too different to work ... just like you always said . and maybe you both are right . maybe we 're all better off this way . caroline : i know that you probably do n't see it that way yet ... but i do . i 'm sorry you 're sad . rick : no . caroline : hey , it 's okay ! rick : no , what i am is grateful . you 've always been there for me when i needed you . and here you are again . [ door opens ] maya : [ exhales softly ] quinn : the size of that order ! wyatt : i know , right ? ! quinn : oh , it 's here , baby -- the opportunity we 've been waiting for . all those years of hard work about to pay off . wyatt : i - it 's huge . [ laughs ] quinn : can we do this ? wyatt : yeah , better than anyone ! quinn : yeah ? wyatt : yeah . quinn : okay . oh ! oh , my god . i 'm so excited , i forgot my purse in eric 's office . wyatt : oh . i 'll meet you outside . quinn : all right . wyatt : [ chuckles ] hope : liam , there 's nothing i can do , okay ? contracts have been signed . liam : uh , okay . but you know that 's not really the issue . i mean , legal could find a loophole in 2 seconds . that 's what they 're there for ! hope : oh , my god ! i can not believe you 're serious ! liam : well , how come you are n't taking me seriously ? hope : [ scoffs ] well , honestly , i - i feel like you do n't trust me , and i 'm a little offended by that ! and i just -- i - i do n't think you 're being reasonable ! liam : i 'm not being unreasonable -- trust me ! liam : wyatt kissed you in my home knowing you 're engaged to me . he flirts with you all the time in front of me . his intentions are crystal clear , and he 's never , ever gon na stop ! and you know that . i am perfectly justified in not wanting him around you all the time . hope : the deal is locked . we just placed a huge order . liam : hope , you 're allowed to change your mind . i mean , you could just say that after this meeting , it 's clear to you that quinn artisan is n't a right fit after all ! hope : oh , liam , liam , that -- that does n't even make sense ! liam : i know , hope ! that 's just an example . you could come -- how about the truth ? how about that it 's a liability for our personal relationship ? how about that it 's a conflict of interest ? hope ... i 'm asking you . please , if you care about my feelings , if you care about the future of our relationship ... no more wyatt . hope : [ gasps softly ] quinn : [ exhales ] | carter asks maya if she is okay . sadly she says yeah ; rick had to find out sometime . she stops rick before he leaves . she simply says that she and carter make sense . they did n't . it may have felt that way and she wishes him well , but it will have to be with caroline , not her . they have differences that ca n't be overcome . quinn and wyatt show up at forrester for their meeting and she is nervous . she does n't want to come on too strong and turn people off . liam decides to sit in just to let wyatt know that this is a business venture . eric and caroline join them and introductions are made all around . eric tells them that hope is their biggest supporter . wyatt winks at her . eric says the ultimate last word will come from hope since this is her collection . she says they will start with pieces quinn already has but then work in originals that will go specifically with her gowns .. necklaces , bracelets , anklets , earrings , pins , rings . wyatt is shocked to see the quantity that eric wants , but says it will not be a problem . it 's a challenge and he is always up for that . quinn tells eric they are so grateful that he is giving them this opportunity and she wo n't let him down . eric asks caroline if everything is okay with her and rick . he missed the meeting today altogether and she even seemed preoccupied . she says she is keeping good thoughts , but he probably is with her right now . they shared a lot and this will hurt . all she can hope is that they are finishing old business before he moves on . maya tells rick to be happy and they kiss . |
hope : quinn pushed ivy ? liam : desperate to keep me from you , yeah . hope : [ stutters ] sorry , this -- this just does n't make any sense . liam : hope , listen . quinn tricked you into a marriage that you were n't prepared for , and that changed the course of our lives . but i refuse to let her have that power over us . we can set the clock back . right now . this is the moment , hope . this is it . it 's 3 : 00 at the eiffel tower . and i 'm right by your side . quinn : you do n't have to question your relationship with hope . wyatt : i kind of do , thanks to you . quinn : i had to stop liam . he does n't belong with her . you do . wyatt : that was for her to decide , not you . quinn : well , i did n't trust her to make the right decision . wyatt : oh , my ... quinn : look , i know it seems a bit unorthodox , but she 's married to you and that 's all that matters . wyatt : do you think i really want to be married to someone because my crazy mother conned her into it ? no . just go . just get out of here . quinn : i 'm not leaving you . wyatt : well , i do n't want to deal with you right now . you 've already caused enough damage . so go . quinn : honey , i just w -- wyatt : stop . quinn : hope is your wife . she 'll respect that . quinn : we have a problem . bill : there is no `` we . `` if you have a problem , fix it . leave me the hell out of it . quinn : this is about our son . our little `` ivy falling into the seine `` secret ? it 's not so secret anymore . hope : okay , i think i know what 's going on here . liam : what 's going on is that quinn is human arsenic . but we do n't have to let her poison us anymore . all those memories i spoke of earlier , the first time i saw you , the proposal , the fashion shows , the wedding in italy , all those moments , they add up to this . they add up to us realizing that we do n't have to give up . hope , i have missed you so damn much . hope : [ sighs ] liam , i 've missed you too . and i do cherish those memories . i do n't regret anything , even when things went wrong . liam : i know . neither do i . 'cause they made us stronger , those road blocks . every single time , we came out the other side better than we were before , and this will be no different . but we have a chance right now to prove to quinn that no matter how hard she tries , she ca n't keep us apart . hope : i always thought we were gon na end up together . you know that . even when things got really tough and when obstacles were thrown at us , there was a part of me that just never gave up . liam : i know . hope : until i had to . liam , our life did n't work out as planned , and that 's ... that 's okay . we still have those memories , and we can look back on them and smile -- liam : i do n't -- [ chuckles ] i do n't think you understand what it is i 'm trying to tell you . hope : i think i do . liam , i can see how hurt you are , and i understand that you 're trying desperately to fix what happened , but to blame quinn ... liam : i am blaming quinn because she is actually the one who kept me from you . hope : okay . well ... i 'm married to wyatt . liam : yes , you 're married to wyatt . and why are you married to wyatt ? because i did n't make it there on time , right ? hope : yeah . because of you . because you did n't show up . it does n't have anything to do with quinn . liam : yes , it does . hope : no . liam , i understand that you 're looking for someone to blame . i do . and quinn is such an easy target , why not blame her ? look at everything that she 's done . but ... she was in los angeles . there 's no way she pushed ivy into the seine . liam : hope , look at me . look into my eyes . i have proof . bill : first things first . have a drink . relax . no reason to panic . quinn : there are plenty of reasons to panic . everybody knows what i did to ivy . wyatt is furious with me , and liam 's probably whining about it to hope as we speak . we 've got to do something . bill : the truth came out . it happens . i 'm glad it did . quinn : how can you say that ? think about our son 's marriage . bill : i am . i do n't want hope waffling again . she should be with wyatt . honor her vows . quinn : okay . so ... bill : she should come to that conclusion on her own . quinn : mnh - mnh . no , i did n't want to chance that . bill : if they get through this , their marriage might even be stronger . quinn : and that is where you come in . you are gon na go to liam , because he listens to you , and you 're gon na convince him that this does n't change anything . liam : like i said , quinn pushed ivy . hope : okay , did ivy say something ? because if she 's , like , suddenly remembering and trying to stir something up , i -- liam : what ? no . no , no , no , no , no . ivy did n't even see it . one minute she was trying to take a photo , the next she got bumped off the edge . hope : okay , so ... what ? did , like , another witness step forward ? liam : believe it or not , pam and charlie . hope : okay ... well , they were n't in paris , either . liam : no , they were n't . but they did come to me with hard evidence . hope : from pam ? you 're believing evidence from pam ? liam , listen to yourself . liam : no , no , no , trust me . charlie has connections over in paris . take a look at this . hope : what am i looking at ? liam : this is a scan from customs . do you see the date ?
