bill : i kissed brooke . katie : if you could live anywhere in the world , where would it be ? thorne : well , i can live anywhere . i do like this bed . katie : [ giggles ] so you see us staying here ?

katie : no . do you know what i 've always wanted in my prince charming ? i want someone who knows the difference between right and wrong . i want someone who treats everybody the same , no matter who they are . and most of all , i want someone who is willing to give me his trust . and who i feel safe giving my trust in return . thorne : that all sounds like me . katie : [ laughs ] thorne : well , i 'm no paragon . sometimes when i think i 'm right , i 'm actually not . but with this , you and me and will , i know this is right . katie : still , one parent getting married really does n't make much of a difference in the eyes of the law . i mean , bill looks really good on paper . thorne : well , we know what opponent we 're up against . good things are coming for us , katie . it 's already happening . justin : okay , brooke is your very best , if not your only shot at keeping this custody question out of a courtroom . so why in the hell would you risk the chance of her running home to ridge and/or katie and saying you put the moves on her ?

ridge : what do you mean , wise ? what do you mean ? brooke : the relationship is still pretty new . ridge : well , they 've known each other for 25 years . brooke : right . so what 's the rush ? i mean , the whole thing seems so expedient . you know . ridge : i - i do n't know . brooke : oh , well , i think they 're doing this to make it look good for the custody battle . ridge : why are you being so cynical right now ? brooke : [ sighs ] there 's some things we just do n't agree on . ridge : we do n't agree that -- that bill mistreated his two grown sons , and now he 's doing the same thing to a little kid ? brooke : people do change . ridge : well , some people do . bill hasn't . this is katie 's son . and i did n't protect my daughter , but i got to take care of this little kid . brooke : will does n't need protection from his father . bill loves his son . ridge : yeah , and everything bill loves , he destroys , eventually . brooke : oh , my god . do you know how vindictive you sound ? ridge : see , i do n't want that . i do n't want to sound vindictive . i do n't know where that came from . oh , no . you know what ? i do know . maybe it comes from bill coercing my daughter into sleeping with him . or maybe it 's because he threw me out of a helicopter into the persian gulf and left me there to die . i know he probably did n't mean to do that . okay . no . you know what ? no . it 's not okay . why do n't you open your eyes and see who this person really is ? he sees any weakness , he 's gon na use you . come on . stay away from that guy . stop defending him .

[ shane remembering ] phoebe : darla ! shane : and you thought that no one would find out . taylor : okay , this is my home , and i would think that what happens here is very private , but obviously it 's not . i mean , i knew when people found out about thorne and me that they would try to make something out of it . shane : wait , wait , wait , what ? taylor : look , i know it 's only been a short while since his wife died and it is a little bit soon for us to be getting so close -- shane : no , no , no , wait , wait , wait . that 's not -- taylor : look , listen , listen . people are people , okay ? and they 're going to make of it what they want to -- shane : that 's not what i 'm talking about here . taylor : they 're gon na think what they want to think but listen . listen , i 've got to tell you this part . it 's really not a good idea for you to be commenting on the personal lives of the people you work for . it 's really not the best idea . here . hector ? hold on . hector , i 'm right here . i 'm right here . hector : taylor , are you okay ? i heard voices . shane : mr. ramirez . hector : i 'm sorry . i do n't recognize the voice . taylor : you know hector ? shane : yeah , i know hector . he 's the fireman . he 's the one that pulled -- wait a second . he lives here , too , with you , right ? hector : taylor , who is this man ? taylor : this is shane . phoebe just was telling me he 's new on our landscaping crew . and he was just telling me that there were some issues of privacy in the back , because he had seen thorne and me kissing . and he just wanted to warn me that there are eyes everywhere , watching . shane : look , i know how this sounds and -- i just wanted you to know that -- listen , i think i should probably be going here . hector : wait . do n't go . we need to find out why you 're involving yourself in taylor 's private life and where you know me from . taylor : i really think you 're overreacting , hector . hector : no , i would just like some answers . taylor : well , i guess that shane 's maybe a little bit thrown by your condition . shane : yeah , she 's right . mrs. forrester 's right . actually , i read about you in `` the times `` about a fire at your place and how you lost your vision . hector : oh , and that 's how you know me ? from the newspaper ? shane : yeah , man , they ran your picture before the accident . hector : that still does n't explain why you feel compelled to get involved with her personal life . phoebe told me that you had some proposal for her mother . what kind of proposal ? taylor : hector , it was a privacy issue . see , shane saw that i was kissing thorne and he was worried about that . and i had said that i wanted the hedges trimmed down a little and he thought they should be taller , so -- shane : right -- taylor : that was a good idea . shane : yeah , you 're right . you 're right . maybe if i just cut them down in the middle , they 'll grow taller . taylor : thank you . that was a good idea . shane : you 're welcome . listen , i 'm gon na just leave you two alone , okay ? bye- bye .

( scoffs ) not anymore . ashley : because of nick . taylor : mm , yes . yes , i think i finally know what it feels like to have a man who 's really devoted to me , and nick is very devoted to me and this baby . brooke is completely out of his life .

( laughs ) i will always love you for that . deacon : ( sighs ) let me ask you something . hope : ( sniffles ) deacon : what you said at the press conference about -- um , you know , wanting a fresh start and not looking back . hope : uh - huh . ( sniffles ) deacon : now , come on . is that really how you feel ? because looking at you and hearing you ... hope : ( sniffles ) deacon : kiddo , you 've got it bad . hope : ( sniffles ) deacon : and i mean , um , saying that things are over between you and liam , it sounds kind of silly when it 's so obvious that they 're not . [ scene_break ] rick : we 're going in a new direction with hope for the future . i want to get the word out . thomas : did n't hope 's press conference take care of that ? rick : there 's no such thing as too much good publicity . is n't that right , ollie ? oliver : sure . ( cell phone rings ) thomas : sorry . rick : okay , good idea . thomas : thomas forrester . rick : ( whispering indistinctly ) thomas : right now ? okay , i 'll be right there . i 'm sorry . this wo n't take long . caroline : okay . oliver : i 'm gon na get out of here , unless you need something else . rick : no . oliver : good seeing you .

( chuckles ) caroline : it 's what makes you excited , is n't it , being in charge ? rick : well , my father founded this place . i 'm motivated and determined to preserve his legacy . caroline : or create your own . rick : i want to make my mark almost as bad as i want to do this .

[ scene_break ] deacon : i still ca n't believe you and liam are n't married . i mean , if i had known , i would have ... ( scoffs ) oh , this is -- hope : hey , no , there 's -- there 's nothing that you could have done . deacon : honey , i 'm your dad , you know ? i mean , a father 's job is to protect his little girl ... hope : ( sighs ) deacon : even if she -- even if she is n't that little anymore . you know your entire life , i 've been awol . hope : things get complicated , okay , and you make decisions or they 're made for you . ( sighs ) deacon : yeah . you think maybe it 's possible that that 's what happened between you and liam ? i mean , i -- obviously , there were outside forces , but , uh ... hope : are -- i mean , are you talking about steffy ? deacon : yeah . i mean , she was with liam the day of your wedding in italy and then the night before you were gon na make it official in los angeles . look , i - i get it i 've never met the girl . but i got ta tell you , from what i 'm hearing , i -- hope : uh , guess what ? deacon : ( sighs ) hope : i invited her to italy . yep . i invited her , because i wanted to bring the families closer together . clearly , that backfired , um , not because she was trying to undermine me . you know , but because -- deacon : yeah , because of the letter that i never wrote . hope : what do you mean , you never wrote ? deacon : no , i - i just meant that i - i - i did n't mean to write it , and , you know , the way i left , sneaking off like that , i -- honey , see , the thing is , i knew if i stayed , somehow i was gon na hurt you , and i 'm sorry . hope : ( sighs ) deacon : i took the coward 's way out . hope : no , you are not ward . and you 're here for me now . what changed your mind ? deacon : i saw your press conference on the internet . i saw what rick was saying about liam , and , um ... look , are you absolutely sure that this guy 's worthy of you ? i mean ... ( sighs ) i got ta be real honest with you . there 's a part of me that wants to -- wants to just go and teach liam a lesson for the way that he 's treated you , not to mention is old man for all the grief that he 's put you through . hope : how did you know about that ? deacon : am i wrong ? hope : no . no . i mean , i - i 'm definitely not his first choice ... deacon : ( sighs ) hope : for a daughter - in - law . um , but you know , it 's so ironic , because at the wedding , he actually stood up , and he accepted me as part of the spencer family . deacon : ( sighs ) hope : i mean , clearly , he does n't feel that way anymore . deacon : so he 's back on the , uh , steffy and liam bandwagon , right ? hope : yeah , it 's okay . deacon : no , it 's not all right . this guy is a -- this guy is such a control freak . hope : ( sighs ) deacon : i mean -- hope : hey . hey . it 's a -- it 's all right . i 'm fine . i 'm fine , especially now that i 've got you here looking out for me . just , um ... promise me , no more `` good - bye `` letters , okay ? ( chuckles ) deacon : yeah . hope : i kind of want you to stick around . i mean , there 's so much that i - i still do n't know about you . and ... i love you .

quinn : [ breathes deeply ] hope : the deal is locked . liam : hope , you 're allowed to change your mind . you can just say that after this meeting , you realized quinn artisan is n't a right fit after all . quinn : [ breathing deeply ] eric : thorne , i - it 's okay . it really is . we 'll have dinner another time .

liam : wyatt , y - you have been in our lives all of , what -- a month now , and you 're already causing more trouble than you 're worth . you 're kissing my fiancé in my own home . you 're flipping out in front of our father . wyatt : oh , yeah , about that ? yeah , dad and i are totally cool now . yeah . he came by , and he apologized to me . we talked . we both admitted that we overreacted , and then ... he gave me a big , old hug . liam : fantastic . wyatt : come on , liam . everybody else likes me . you 're the only holdout . gosh , my own brother . liam : half brother . wyatt : come on , man . what do you say ? should we hug it out , brother to brother ? seriously . come on . get in here . it 's not gon na kill you , is it ? come on . eric : to joint ventures and new opportunities . quinn : cheers . eric : cheers . quinn : [ chuckles ] mmm . wow . you have a beautiful home . eric : thank you . been here for a long time . raised all our children in this house . quinn : mm . eric : mm - hmm . quinn : is that your wife ? eric : yes . stephanie . she and i were married almost 300 years . quinn : [ laughs ] eric : she passed away last year . quinn : i heard . i 'm so sorry for your loss . eric : funny story about that photograph -- the first time i kissed another woman in this room , that picture came crashing to the floor . quinn : no . eric : yes . it did . it horrified taylor and me . quinn : you 're kidding . eric : no , i 'm not . i think her eyes actually move in that photograph . they follow me at night . quinn : she 's keeping tabs on you . eric : she said she would . quinn : mm . eric : she told us all before she died that , uh -- to watch out for bluebirds . and if we saw any , it would be stephanie saying hello . and i swear , ever since then ... i see bluebirds out here in the garden all the time . quinn : that 's really beautiful . oh . i 'm so sorry . i just realized -- i - i 'm not interrupting you and -- and taylor ? eric : no , no . taylor 's not here . she 's , uh -- she 's not here . i 'm alone . she 's in paris . she 's visiting steffy , her daughter . it 's not clear to me when she 's coming back , actually . quinn : steffy , who 's ... married to liam ... wyatt 's half - brother . eric : yes , and it 's even more complicated than that , because now liam is engaged to hope . quinn : ah . yes , hope . my son is very taken with her . eric : i 'm not at all surprised . she 's a charming girl and gifted , and ... in fact , you have hope to thank for this new partnership . hope : liam is insisting that i cancel the contract between quinn and wyatt . brooke : wow . i did n't realize he 'd be so upset . hope : i mean , i understand where liam is coming from . you know , he just wants to protect our relationship . he trusts me . he does n't trust wyatt . he thinks that he 's just gon na get in the way and cause problems for us . brooke : is liam right ? do you have feelings for wyatt ? hope : i would n't say i have feelings for him . brooke : but ... you like him . hope : yeah . he 's a fun guy to be around . i just -- i feel bad now because i 'm the one who brought the contracts to quinn and wyatt . that was me . how can i back out now ? and i love quinn 's designs . they 're beautiful , and i think that we would work so well together . and -- and liam just wants to forbid it . brooke : you know how i feel about liam . i like him , and i support your relationship . but you two have been through some hard times , and he did hurt you . so having him sweat it ... might be a good thing . liam : goodbye , wyatt . wyatt : [ laughs ] you 're threatened by me -- my presence here in your life , my relationship with hope . liam : well , clearly , you want me to be threatened by you . wyatt : well , it would n't be an issue if you would just follow through with your commitment with her . liam : oh , god . do n't even . wyatt : you 've been playing her for years . she deserves someone 's complete , undivided attention and devotion . she has n't been getting that from you , and she knows it . liam : hope tell you that ? or is unsolicited relationship advice part of your charm ? wyatt : i listen . i observe . i breathe everything in . and from what i can tell , yeah , hope loves you . but it 's taken a toll on her -- your indecision , your waffling back and forth . she 's getting tired of it , man . she wants someone who 'll give every bit of himself to her . liam : and that 's you . wyatt : hey . what if steffy came back right about now ? how would you feel ? what would you do ? hey , better yet , why do n't we just gas up the jet and go to paris , huh ? liam : why on earth would i want to do that , wyatt ? wyatt : because you are still in love with her . you 'd have to be , if you 'd dump hope for her . liam : i -- let me tell you something . i have never dumped hope ... not that it 's any of your business at all . wyatt : you only went back to hope after steffy left you and went to paris . hope 's your consolation prize , and she deserves a whole lot better than that . liam : do not presume to tell me who hope is or what she deserves . she is my fiancé , and she 's gon na be my wife . and you think you have a shot because she offered you a job ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , i guess we 'll have to wait and see what happens , huh ? liam : you know , you really ought to think twice about sticking your nose where it does n't belong . do n't get too comfortable . you never know what might happen . wyatt : [ laughs ] are you threatening me ? liam : no . no , because , ultimately , your job is n't my decision . wyatt : but the decision 's already made . do n't ... interfere . my mother and i have been working for years to get this kind of a huge opportunity . liam : you know what i think is really funny ? uh , you telling me not to interfere . wyatt : well , the contracts are already signed . liam : come on , now . this is the big leagues . you think forrester does n't have an out clause in every single one of their contracts ? they have to . because sometimes ... it 's just not a good fit . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you really do want me out of here , do n't you ? liam : well , like i said , it 's not up to me . i do n't work here . wyatt : yeah , you want me out of your world . you 've always been the spencer prince , juggling two gorgeous women at the same time , the one and only uncontested big man on campus . but you have n't had any competition before , have you ? that 's why you do n't like me . because i make you work just a little bit harder . i scare you a little , do n't i ? because this perfect , little world that you 've created -- just putting forth just a little bit of effort to possibly keep the girl ? well , those days are over ... because now you 've got me to contend with . and i 'm not going anywhere . quinn : we 've assembled a really great team of people over the years , but mostly , it 's just been wyatt and me . i love working with my son , and i 'm grateful that he 's taken such an interest in the business . but he 's always wanted the opportunity to move the company to the next level . and now we have it . eric : i have a lot of respect for anybody who 's been able to hold a family business together . quinn : you -- you manage to do it seamlessly . eric : yeah , uh , well , i 'm glad it appears that way . quinn : [ chuckles ] i have read so much about you over the years . i have admired you from afar . eric : yeah ? quinn : and , um ... well , i have to say , eric , i expected a successful man like you to be ... tough and mean , like bill spencer . eric : oh . quinn : but you 're not . you 're -- you 're a warm and gracious gentleman . eric : thank you , thank you . quinn : no . seriously , how do you stay so -- so modest and humble with all of this ? eric : oh , uh , my children see to that . every time i think i 'm cool , they assure me i 'm not . quinn : [ laughs ] oh , yes , i know that feeling . [ both chuckling ] eric : look , any credit for any success that i 've had , i give to that woman up there -- that strong , talented lady there -- for keeping me on point , focused all these years . i 'm just getting to know you , but i think maybe you 're cut from the same cloth -- dedicated , talented , self - sufficient . quinn : oh , wow . i - i take that as quite a compliment , coming from you . eric : it 's not easy being a designer -- i know . you 've really done well for yourself . good for you . quinn : thank you . i know you say hope deserves all the credit for this partnership , but you 're c.e.o . , eric . you are the driving force behind forrester creations . cheers . eric : cheers . hope : i want to make the right decision for our company , but i know i also have to do what 's right for me and my relationship . i mean , if working with wyatt might ruin my relationship with liam , then is it really worth taking the chance ? brooke : i do n't agree with the position that liam 's putting you in , but i do understand . he 's trying to avoid any problems for the two of you . hope : i mean , i 'd be lying if i said i did n't enjoy the attention from wyatt . i do . he 's a fun guy . i feel like i 'm disrespecting liam by ignoring the way he feels . you know , i do n't want to make him uncomfortable or risk losing him . i love him . he 's my fiancé , and if it 's important to him , then ... [ sighs ] ... i have to break the contract with quinn and wyatt . brooke : if you feel that that 's what you have to do ... then i support you . hope : i have to . i have to . all right . i 'm gon na go tell eric that i changed my mind . [ both sigh ] wyatt : well , i 'm not backing off . if you want hope as much as you say that you do ... then you would n't have a problem fighting for her . liam : you 're wasting your time . wyatt : well , i do n't see it that way . i am interested in your fiancé � e. and that might not be bro code or guy code or whatever code . but i 'm not going to hide it . liam : well ... at least you 're honest . wyatt : look , if you just treated her better , then maybe i 'd leave you alone . but i want hope to see that she deserves a whole lot more than you 're giving her . liam : look , wyatt , we 're good , okay ? hope and i are good . she already chose me . wyatt : yeah , and she chose me to work for her . that 's her decision , too . but , hey , if she wants a - a tofu - eating yoga boy , well , you 'll just prance right down that aisle , and that 'll be that , right ? but if she wants a guy who will put her before anything or anyone else ... liam : [ sighs ] wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , like i said ... that 's a decision that she 's gon na have to make , too . liam : the decision 's already been made . she 's gon na be my wife . wyatt : right . `` i do . `` if those words come out of her mouth ... then i will back off . that 's a line that i will not cross . but until then ... game on , brother . quinn : working with a prestigious company like forrester creations -- it 's a game changer . i do n't think i 've ever worked with a company with such a stellar reputation . eric : i look forward to working with you , too . quinn : and wyatt is beyond excited , too . i mean , you really are fulfilling a young man 's dream . [ knock on door ] eric : uh , excuse me for a minute . quinn : okay . eric : make yourself comfortable . quinn : thanks . eric : hope ? hi . hope : hi . um , do you have a minute to talk ? it 's kind of important . eric : sure . come in . hope : thank you . [ sighs ] so ... i know we 've already made the deal with quinn artisan jewelers , but ... i 've changed my mind , and i would like to rescind our offer . eric : uh , w - why ? hope : uh , well , you know , i 've thought about it a lot , and i - i just do n't think that it 's the right fit . and it would just be easier or better to go with a different company . and , you know , there were a lot of really great ones to choose from . eric : but you said yourself that their designs were far superior to any of the other candidates , and i have to agree . and besides , we already have a signed contract . hope : well , legal should n't be a problem . i can talk to them . i really just wanted to let you know as soon as possible that i changed my mind . eric : no . we have to follow through with this , all right ? we have an agreement . papers have been signed . this is business . hope : i know , but , eric -- eric : hope ... no . you ca n't just change your mind and back out . now , we 've made a commitment . we have to stick to it . what are we if we 're not people of our word ? now , forrester is the best because we work with the best people in the world . quinn 's designs are extraordinary . they 're really wonderful , and they 're a perfect complement to hope for the future . and she and her son are here to stay , and this decision is final . hope : okay . i understand . eric : i think , in the end , you 'll be very happy with this . hope : okay . thank you . i 'll -- i 'll see you tomorrow . eric : okay . hope : okay . quinn : thank you . i - i could n't help overhearing what you said to hope . you have no idea how much this means to me . eric : what 'd i tell you ? quinn : [ chuckles softly ] | remembering what she just heard liam say to hope about canceling the partnership , quinn braces herself before she knocks on eric 's door . she gets a phone call from wyatt who says he has gone back to forrester . she says she is trying to fix something . liam walks in on wyatt so he hangs up . he quips that liam ca n't get rid of him . and he has n't quite adjusted to him and hope working together . liam sloughs it off as just being a random thing that hope picked quinn 's jewelry . wyatt says he is not sure anything in life is ever random . liam lets loose that wyatt has only been here in their lives about a month and already he has kissed his fiance and flipped out over his father . wyatt says about that he and his dad are totally cool now . bill came by and they both admitted they had over re - acted and he apologized and gave wyatt a big old hug . sarcastically , liam says fantastic . wyatt tries to get him to admit that he 's the only holdout . everybody else likes him . how about they act like brothers . liam says half - brothers . wyatt holds out his arms and cajoles liam to come give him a brotherly hug . eric hangs up from thorne who says they will have dinner another time ; he has a date . eric seems pleased to see quinn at his door . he invites her in and offers her a glass of wine . he tells her the meeting went very well today and he thinks it 's going to be a terrific partnership . quinn opines that is why she is here . she wants him to know just how much this partnership means to her . they toast to new adventures and opportunities . she admires his beautiful home . he tells her he 's lived there a long time and raised all his children there . she asks if that is his wife in the portrait over the mantel . he jokes that yes she passed away last year . they had been married about 300 years and the portrait actually came crashing to the floor the very first time he kissed another woman in this room . it 's like her eyes follow him everywhere . quinn says she is just keeping tabs on him . |
quinn : tell me what i can do to make this right , hope . hope : oh , how -- how can you think that that is even a possibility , quinn ? quinn : you 're unhappy with me . you 've made that clear , so what redress would you like ? name it ... hope : [ sighs ] quinn : ... and i 'll do it . wyatt : mom , i 'd like to speak with hope alone , please . quinn : she hardly knows you 're in the room , sweetheart . that ca n't be a good sign . wyatt : excuse me ? quinn : so what do you want from me , hope ? i have heard the catalog of my shortcomings . i 'm sure everyone agrees with you . they usually do . must make life really pleasant . wyatt : mom , this is not helping us right now . quinn : then what is , sweetheart ? would you like an apology ? i 'm sorry you married my son instead of his loser half brother . hope : you will not talk to me about liam like that , and , wyatt , i do n't want you allowing it , either . [ scene_break ] bill : so , how long has hope been gone ? liam : not very . [ sighs ] bill : and you 're expecting her back ? liam : uh , yeah . can i get you , like , coffee or -- or a scotch or anything ? i 'm not a very good host , but then again , you 're not a very good guest . bill : did she say she was coming back ? liam : what 's going on with you ? do you -- you do n't think hope 's gon na come back ? do you think she 's gon na stay with wyatt -- do you think she belongs with wyatt ? bill : what 's wrong with me being concerned about my son ? liam : exactly . exactly . you 're concerned about me because you think everything 's gon na work out just fine for wyatt . bill : i 'm just factoring in the reality that hope is in a changed situation . liam : oh , really ? 'cause it seems like same - old , same - old to me . bill : that 's because you 're in denial . liam : this is not the first time that hope has been tricked into making a decision that cut me out . bill : but she 's married this time , liam , and that is a legal and psychological fact that you may want to ignore , but trust me -- hope ca n't . liam : she can undo the marriage . you just -- you just do n't think she will . bill : look , yes , i have ... questioned my faith in that girl , but -- liam : no , no . this is not about hope . you do n't have faith in me .

bill : i did n't ask her permission ! justin : it might be better if you did . bill : whose side are you on ? justin : yours . that 's why i 'm pointing these things out to you . the friendlier you are to katie , the better your chance of avoiding a nasty custody battle . bill : i can do friendly . i 'm mr . friendly ! gon na change my name to `` friendly `` bill spencer . when it comes to my son , i should be able to see him anytime i damn well please . justin : okay . yeah . well , katie does n't agree . look , i 've been consulting with a family - law specialist . bill : and ? justin : there 's a problem . the best option is for brooke to convince katie not to go through with this case . brooke : i hope you two are ready to cater another forrester wedding . pam : are you kidding ? it 's exciting ! ridge : it is exciting . we 're all very happy . pam : but , really , who did n't see it coming ? i mean , katie and thorne are obviously madly in love . charlie : yeah , yeah . i - i - i 'm just surprised that it , you know , happened so fast . brooke : it 's wonderful news . charlie : right . pam : it is , and i 'm so happy for little will . he 's gon na have a new stepdad . ridge : yes . well , anything is an improvement there , right ?

i - i thought we were all happy about katie and thorne . brooke : yeah . we are -- for katie and thorne . ridge : but there are other elements involved . brooke : you know that katie is suing bill for full custody of will . pam : oh . but -- so -- i 'm guessing that that 's okay with you but you , not so much ? brooke : pretty much sums it up . charlie : well , okay . then why do n't we leave you two to , you know , sort this out ? pam : yeah . you know what ? if you need me , just buzz me , okay ? come on , charlie . ridge : well ... big difference of opinion here . what do you think ? can we sort it out ? justin : brooke can save the day if she can convince katie to step down from pursuing full custody . it 's better than taking our chances of being in front of a judge . bill : we talked about this justin . what are you really saying ? justin : something that you do n't want to hear . the fact is , is katie has a good case , considering your previous actions and the fact that she 's been the primary parent for some time . if this progresses with thorne , it could be factored in that they could provide a solid family environment for will . bill : you 're right . i do n't want to hear it . i do n't want to hear it . i do n't accept it . and i 'll tell you something else . you can take this to the bank . there is no way in hell i 'm gon na let thorne have a say in my son 's life . katie : just because i 'm getting married does n't mean that your dad is not your dad anymore . will : what if he gets mad ? katie : well , that 's not really something you have to worry about , okay ? thorne : hey , guys . will : hey , thorne . thorne : hey , buddy . katie : hi . um , i was just , uh , talking to will about our engagement . thorne : oh . you were ? well ... you know that i love your mother very much . will : you make her laugh . thorne : yeah , and she makes me laugh . so do you ? you know , my life is better because you 're in it . katie : i know this might be a lot for you to absorb , but i hope that , even if it takes you some time , you 'll be happy about it . steffy : uh , hold on . hold on . not so fast . xander : what , y - you do n't want me to get dressed ? steffy : not just yet . obviously , you work out regularly , right ? xander : uh , yeah , i mean , i try to put the time in . steffy : would you mind turning around , please ? xander : um , are you gon na tell me what this is about , or ... ? steffy : just the process models go through . xander : okay . um , but i 'm not a model , so ... steffy : not yet . xander : i 'm sorry ? steffy : well , the intimates line is always looking for fresh faces . i think you 'd be a great addition . xander : are you saying what -- what i think you 're saying ? steffy : well , if you want to model for my line ... you got yourself a job . xander : [ chuckles softly ] ridge : you could have shown a little more enthusiasm . brooke : what ? ridge : are n't you thrilled for your sister ? brooke : yes . of course i 'm thrilled . ridge : okay . just checking . brooke : i do n't want to argue , ridge . ridge : i do n't want to do that , either . brooke : okay . so , let 's just leave it at that . ridge : you ca n't side with spencer on this . you can't . brooke : i 'm siding with will . i think he should grow up with both of his parents . ridge : well , bill should have thought about that before he started chasing my daughter around and forgetting about his little boy . brooke : i 'm not condoning his behavior . i just think it 's a little drastic to take custody away from bill , and , obviously , you do n't agree because you 're testifying on katie 's behalf . ridge : they subpoenaed me as a character witness . brooke : you could have shown a little less enthusiasm . ridge : thorne will be a better role model for that little boy . can we at least agree on that ? thorne : guess we took you by surprise , huh ? katie : you can say whatever you 're thinking . thorne : yeah . it 's not gon na hurt our feelings . katie : and when i first told you , you asked about your dad , right ? thorne : well , nothing that happens between your mother and me is going to affect your relationship with your dad , okay ? will : that 's what mom said . thorne : well , you got to believe it , because all you get out of this is a stepdad . that 's it . katie : it 's kind of a win - win , right ? will : dad forgot about me . katie : no , he did not . he did not . he 's just been busy . will : will i have to live with him if you guys get married ? katie : no . no . you are gon na stay right here in your own home . thorne : it 'll just be the three of us . we 're gon na do a lot of things together . katie : we 'll have so much fun . we 're gon na go on hikes and we 'll read books and we 'll go to the movies . will : hey , we can play monkey in the middle right now ! katie : we can ! thorne : who are you calling a monkey , huh ?

[ chuckles ] ridge : you think i do n't get it . i get it . you 're a wonderful person . and you still feel for spencer , but your empathy is misplaced . it belongs to your sister now . brooke : so , i 'm supposed to offer blind support , even if i do n't agree with her decision ? ridge : the guy ignored his son for almost a year . you do n't think there 's some lasting damage ? brooke : possibly , there is . but i do n't think limiting bill 's time with his son is the answer . in fact , i think they need to spend more time together in order to re - establish their connection . ridge : he would n't have to re - establish their connection if he had n't done that in the first place . brooke : well , bill should n't have done that . but why compound one mistake with another ? steffy : are we talking about the custody battle ? ridge : katie 's case just got stronger . thorne proposed to her . they 're getting married . steffy : what ? are you serious ? ridge : yeah . and that little boy is gon na grow up in a house surrounded by love . brooke : i still do n't think custody should be taken away from bill . you 're not gon na get me to change my mind , period . bill : so , you two are engaged ? thorne : yes , we are . bill : how do you feel about that , pal ? will : i like thorne , and so does mom . bill : you 're good with having him around here all the time ? will : sure . it 'll be fun , and thorne will be my stepdad . i like that . katie : hey , baby , why do n't you run upstairs and get going on that spaceship ? thorne will be up in a little bit to help you , okay ? thorne : i 'll be up soon , buddy . will : okay . bye , dad . bill : bye , pal . `` bye , dad . `` it does n't even occur to him that i might still be here when he comes back down . thorne : whose fault is that ? bill : that 's what i 'm asking . thorne : just to be clear , i 've never said a bad thing to him about you , so however will feels is on you , not me . bill : just to be clear , i know exactly what you 're doing . you want an instant family . my son is part of the package . did you hear that ? my son . i love him , and that 's what he is . that 's what he will always be . i will have a say and a strong presence in his life , and nobody is going to take him away from me . ridge : thorne is gon na be a much better father than spencer ever was . brooke : thorne will be a great stepdad . but will already has a father . ridge : bill walked away from his kid . he completely ignored him ! steffy : i - i do n't know , dad . i do n't know . ridge : y - you do n't know what ? steffy : i do n't know if bill should be separated from his son . brooke : exactly . ridge : really ? both -- both you guys are -- are defending him ? brooke : ridge , we do n't get to choose our fathers . i just want will to have a great relationship with the one that he has . ridge : he 's not healthy . he 's sick ! he 's a sick man . he will do whatever he wants to get what he wants . does n't matter who gets hurt . steffy : okay , dad . i do n't think you 're being exactly objective . ridge : maybe i 'm not . but you 're being objective . that 's hard for me to see . how do you do that ? that guy destroyed your life . he destroyed your marriage . he destroyed all the things that you wanted in life . he -- he meddled and manipulated until you had nothing else to say to liam . you guys are grown - ups . you make your own choices . we 're talking about a little kid ... a little kid that needs help , needs some guidance . he 's gon na get it from thorne . he 's gon na take care of it . that kid should n't be anywhere near spencer ever again . brooke : do you really believe that ? ridge : i absolutely believe it ! sp - spencer is -- is an emotional wrecking ball ! and i will tell that to any judge who asks me ! i will tell it to any judge who does n't ask me ! shame on both of you ! how do you do that ? ! katie needs you right now ! thorne needs you ! that little kid just ... deserves a better life . how do you not see that ? [ pen clatters ] brooke : [ sighs ] bill : so , you two are engaged . after how long -- a week , a month ? i do n't buy it . katie : well , first of all , we 've known each other for decades , and , secondly , i 'm not quite sure what you 're implying -- that thorne does n't love me or maybe i 'm just a silly little girl who 's easily fooled ? bill : no . you 're just an emotionally vulnerable woman ... katie : [ scoffs ] bill : ... taken advantage of by a guy who was trolling for an easy mark . thorne : wow . how do you come up with this stuff ? katie : listen , why do n't all of us just a take a breath , okay ? because you 're gon na need to accept this . bill : i do n't need to take a breath . i 'm breathing just fine . i do n't have to accept anything , especially if it entails trying to take my son away from you . katie : no one is trying to take your son away from you . bill : says the woman filing for sole custody . katie : okay . i get it . this engagement has hit you out of nowhere . we 're in the middle of a custody battle , and you feel ambushed . but , bill , i do n't want to go to war with you . i 'm just trying to take care of our child . bill : by shutting me out of my son 's life ? katie : you keep saying that , but that 's not the case ! bill : no , that 's exactly the case , katie . katie : no , i get it . you 're busy . you ca n't always follow through with him . but you 'll have visitation . you 've let him down too many times . bill : that was then . this is now . and now i 'm here for him . i 'm gon na make it right . katie : until something or someone pulls your attention away . no . i am taking control of the situation . please , please , bill , do n't fight this . will will be in a loving home . he will be taken care of , and , most of all , he will feel secure . he needs the stability that thorne and i can give him . bill : you know that i was robbed of the chance to raise liam and wyatt . you know the kind of relationship , if you 'd even call it that , i had with my own father . i am not gon na let that pattern be repeated with will , and sure as hell am not gon na let you step in and be a father to my son . thorne : look , katie 's gon na get full custody , whether we 're married or not . will gets to grow up in a loving family environment . you still get to see him . you should be happy about that . bill : [ chuckling ] oh , i 'm so happy ... happy that you are trying to `` x `` me out of my son 's life . i love that boy , and i will fight for him . i will fight for him with everything that i 've got . i do n't give a damn that you two are married . i will use every single resource at my disposal to keep you from stealing my son from me . | katie tells will that is the fastest she has ever seen him eat his breakfast . then she gets into she knows that thorne is coming over to play with him so how would he feel if he were around more . she mentions liam and hope just got married .. well thorne asked her to marry him and she asks how he feels about that . he immediately asks what about his dad . pam tells brooke and ridge that she suddenly felt a cool breeze in the room when she mentioned katie and thorne . and ridge said that would be an improvement . so she is guessing it is okay with ridge but not so with brooke unless it is just having bill sued for custody that is bringing this on . thorne tells will that he is happy with him in his life and will seems to be pleased with that . steffy and sally find xander almost in the buff and it gives steffy ideas . she wants to see him turn around and says she can see he works out a lot so he could make a good model as they are looking for some male models . thorne tells will that he does n't have to worry about his dad . nothing he and katie do will affect his relationship with his dad . he does not have to go live with him ; just stay here and live in his own home . will thinks he is going to like this having thorne around all the time . bill comes in at the wrong time but katie says it is okay as she has big news . she holds up her ring finger to show him her ring . he has just finished minutes ago telling justin that thorne will never have a say in his son 's life . xander reminds steffy that he is not a model . she says not a problem but her only concern is that zoe will be working closely with him and she hopes that wo n't be a problem . he says absolutely not . sally also gets praised by steffy to join her since they got off on the wrong foot earlier . |

[ scene_break ] stephanie : are you all right ? i think i should call the doctor . eric : no . no . stephanie : i just -- i just did n't want -- eric : ( sighs ) stephanie : i just did n't want brooke misleading you , that 's all . look , it 's perfectly natural that she 's going to come here and defend her sister , honey . she loves her . but i do n't think it was appropriate for you to hear this now . i think it would have been better when you 're stronger . i mean , the main thing you have to do now is -- is -- is get well . eric : i want -- want to know . stephanie : of course , you do . and you have every right to know . but have n't you -- have n't you seen enough with owen and donna together ? eric : ( sighs ) stephanie : i mean , should n't this be your number one priority -- getting well , above anything else ? eric : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : she 's holding him hostage . ridge : what 's going on ? brooke : your mother . she kicked me out . thorne : why ? what did you say ? brooke : she thinks she can control everything -- who he sees , what he knows . ridge : you talked about donna . brooke : nobody told eric that donna was almost killed and owen saved her life ? thorne : you did n't . you di -- brooke : yes , i did . you did n't think he 'd be concerned ? thorne : about the woman who betrayed him ? brooke : well , he was concerned . what does that tell you ? ridge : brooke , we talked about this . dad can not be upset . brooke : he still cares about her , ridge . thorne : well , that 's too damn bad , brooke . because she does n't care about him . brooke : that 's not true . thorne : well , then why was she in bed with owen ? ridge : okay , you two . come on . stop it . brooke : owen and donna did not have an affair . ridge : look , whatever donna did or did n't do is not the relevant fact now . what 's important is that dad has a very long road to recovery . he 's gon na need our encouragement , not more stuff to worry about . brooke : she wants to be a part of that recovery . thorne : are you kidding me ? yo -- i ca n't listen to any more of this crap . ridge : logan , this is not gon na happen . brooke : does eric have a say in that ? ridge : come on . you 've got ta look at the situation here . brooke : i am . i understand that er has a lot to go through . but you and your family , you 're not acknowledging something -- that eric was deeply in love with donna , and i believe that he still is . ridge : let 's not talk about this anymore right now . let 's just -- it 's late . let 's do it later . brooke : all right . i think that you should say good night to your father , and i 'll call catherine and tell her that we 'll be home shortly . ridge : ( sighs ) brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] stephanie : ( sighs ) why are you still here ? i mean , if you 're waiting for ridge , do n't . you can take one of our cars . brooke : i 'm waiting on you . stephanie : oh . brooke : i do n't want to fight , stephanie . stephanie : well , neither do i . brooke : you know , i - i thought maybe we could talk as two people who care about eric . stephanie : brooke , if you cared about him , why would you -- why did n't you just wish him well and leave him in peace ? brooke : i 'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt . maybe you are trying to protect him . but you 're not helping him . you 're not helping yourself by keeping things from him . stephanie : oh , the truth , you mean ? that she slept with owen ? brooke : you did n't tell him that donna was attacked in big bear . stephanie : well -- what ? that 's of no consequences to him . brooke : he still cares . stephanie : he does n't want to see her . brooke : would you allow it if he did ? stephanie : listen , it was his decision to throw her out of the house , not mine . brooke : just a little while ago , he had you leave the room so we could talk about donna . stephanie : and what did you do ? you lied to him . you said owen was comforting her . or is that what they call it these days when you catch two people rolling in the hay ? brooke : she still loves him . stephanie : well , she has strange way of showing it . you know what ? i 've never understood any of you logan girls . brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ridge : dad ? you okay ? caught in the crossfire ? eric : ( chuckles ) ridge : not too bad ? ridge : the more things change , the more they stay the same , right ? seems mother and brooke both want what 's best for you . eric : ( sighs ) ridge : but as usual , they ca n't agree on what that is . brooke did n't mean to upset you . she 's just protecting her sister . mother , of course , is being overprotective . but nobody is holding you prisoner up here . ridge : i think we came so close to losing you that everybody 's just trying to make sure you 're safe ... ridge : especially mother . that woman loves you down to the tips of her toes . you coming back from that coma -- i think it gave her a new purpose , a new meaning in her life . ridge : when you woke up , so did she . [ scene_break ] brooke : do n't do that , stephanie . do n't make this about my family . stephanie : you made it about your family when you came over here and started defending your sister . brooke : well , donna would defend herself , only you wo n't let her in the house . stephanie : because i do n't think he can handle any of this now . brooke : he 's got a lot of questions . stephanie : i know eric better than anybody . what he needs now is just to rest . brooke : he 's confused . he 's worried . what are you so afraid of ? stephanie : i 'm afraid that he 'll have a relapse . and i 'm not going to -- to risk that just to assuage your sister 's conscience . brooke : keeping him in the dark is n't going to help . it 's only going to make him more anxious . stephanie : have you spoken to his doctors ? mnh - mnh . so how do you know that this is n't going to harm him and hurt him ? brooke : of course he 's in pain . he thinks that donna betrayed him . stephanie : well , she did . brooke : she did n't cross the line . stephanie : ( scoffs ) that 's right . this is the new presidential version of what sex is . brooke : `` same old behavior . same old excuse . `` that 's what donna said about you a little while ago -- how you strong - arm situations and you accuse a logan of using her sexuality to get what she wants . déja vu . stephanie : funny . i was thinking the same thing . brooke : you wo n't let donna back in the house because you know how much eric really does love her . and you 're afraid that she 's going to win him back . [ scene_break ] eric : ( sighs ) donna : eric . [ scene_break ] brooke : just admit it , stephanie . you 're terrified that you could lose eric . stephanie : well , of course i am . that 's why i do n't want to put him through any unnecessary pain . brooke : ( scoffs ) oh , please , do n't pretend to put his needs first . stephanie : he 's already had his confrontation with donna . do you want him to have another one and -- and -- and ha -- possibly have a - a stroke ? a heart attack ? brooke : he threw her out of the house . he did n't end their marriage . stephanie : well , did n't she effectively end the marriage when she slept with owen ? brooke : okay , fine , if the marriage is over , eric should tell her to her face . stephanie : look , you call this what you want -- control , not control . i do n't care . i 'm not going to jeopardize or allow anyone to jeopardize his recovery . not donna and not you . brooke , come on . who was sitting by the bedside when he came out of the coma ? it was n't donna . it was me . he came back to me and to our children . he told donna -- he threw her out of the house . he told her to stay away . now she should respect that , and so should you . so i 'm going to ask you , please , if you 're gon na come back and visit , do n't come here to defend your sister , because you wo n't be welcome . brooke : ( scoffs ) a - and what about the rest of the family , stephanie ? rick ? bridget ? they 're eric 's children , too . and what about katie and marcus and my mother ? i mean , you ca n't keep them all out . my god , what are you gon na do ? what are you going to do ? you gon na hire guards to stand outside your front door 24/7 ? and for how long ? stephanie : excuse me ? marcus ? your children ? of course , he 's their father . how long am i going to do this to protect him ? as long as it takes . but you 've got to recognize that the marriage is over . he does n't want her . come on , loyal wife ? how long did it take her to sl -- flop into bed with somebody else ? two months ? i mean , this is a joke , brooke . [ scene_break ] donna : look at you . you finally woke up . i knew you would . i - i knew you 'd come back to us . donna : you 're angry with me . you told me to leave , and i deserved that . but i 'm not going anywhere now . did you read my letter ? donna : eric , what you saw -- owen and me -- it 's -- it 's not what you think . i never stopped loving you . i never gave up on you . eric : in -- in bed with ... another man . donna : ( sighs ) and you need to know why . look , i 'm not going anywhere until you hear me out . i do n't care if stephanie calls every guard in here to pull me away . i wo n't go . i 'm your wife . and i 'm gon na love you until death do us part . donna : oh , my god , it feels so good to be in your arms . we have to work this out , eric . we have to . i ca n't live without you . i love you so much . i love you . and i know you still love me . do n't give up on us , please . please tell me -- tell me you wo n't give up . | stephanie and brooke argue over donna 's involvement with owen . each accuses the other of withholding certain amounts of the truth . brooke wants eric to know that pam tried to kill donna and owen saved her . stephanie does n't see where that makes any difference . donna cheated on eric , that is the important part of why he no longer wants to see her . ridge and thorne discuss the situation . thorne just hopes all of this will bring his mother and father closer . crates are delivered to the family and they assume it is more equipment for their father 's therapy . however frightened , but familiar eyes , peer from inside the box . |

[ scene_break ] justin : must be a little bit awkward for you . bill : not really . justin : you ca n't just turn your feelings off . you have n't . bill : you know as well as anybody that i am extremely strong - willed . it 's not happening with steffy because i did n't want it to happen . i 'm married to katie , and i do n't want that to change . justin : but for her to rebound with liam ... bill : i know . i was concerned about it . i grilled her pretty hard . i was concerned about the rebound thing . i assumed it had to be about me . but i guess it 's not . she seems to love him . justin : so if you ca n't have her ... bill : my son should . justin : even if he 's engaged to hope . bill : if steffy spent the night last night and she did , i think it 's a safe bet that that engagement is off .

eric : no , no . she fell off the wall last night . i had to hang her back up today . rick : uh - oh . what 'd you do to make stephanie mad this time ? i know you and thorne were going out to dinner . you guys got into some kind of trouble , now , did n't you ?

i - i - i told her i was n't gon na negate the contract . rick : well , who wants to negate the contract ? eric : she did ! she came over here last night and asked me to cancel the contract . i said no . wyatt : but our contract with forrester has nothing to do with liam ! quinn : he told hope to break it . wyatt : oh , that 's what he was going on about last night . quinn : i overheard them talking in the office . wyatt : look , you do n't have to worry . hope would never do something -- quinn : she did . wyatt : well , i 'm sure that 's just how it sounded ! she -- she just does n't want to upset the guy ! they live together ! quinn : she showed up at eric 's ! hope asked him to cut us loose . hope : mm . liam : hey , unh - unh - unh ! where do you think you 're going ?

! eric : try not to be too hard on her . rick : dad , we have spent too much time and money rebranding her line . we do n't want our vendors to question our integrity ! eric : i explained that to her -- that it 's business . rick : no , this is liam ! he 's behind this ! he does n't like wyatt and hope working together ! eric : liam 's name never came up . eric : she 's got too much pride for that , dad . but pam did tell me that he was sulking outside the meeting . eric : no , no . he was just waiting for hope . rick : he was keeping an eye on the situation ! i tell you , if i was in his shoes , i 'd do exactly the same thing ! but canceling the contract -- that 's not an option . eric : no , no . hope understands that now . look , whether this is a problem for hope or a problem for liam , it 's not gon na be a problem for forrester and quinn artisan jewelers . wyatt : you heard him ask her to break the deal ? quinn : oh , he did n't ask . he put his foot down . you know , everything you 've told me about liam -- i expected him to be nothing like his father . but everything i heard yesterday was pure spencer . no debate , no compromise , and no way will his fiancée be working with you . wyatt : hope did n't agree with him . quinn : she did n't say much of anything . frankly , i think she was a little shocked . wyatt : [ scoffs ] yeah , i bet she was . quinn : that 's why i went to eric 's -- in case liam got through to her , you know ? he 's c.e.o . ! she ca n't make any changes to our contract without his permission . wyatt : you put on that fuller charm ? quinn : i do n't know ! wyatt : [ laughs ] quinn : but ... i guess it worked , because , uh , when hope showed up , asking him to reconsider ... he turned her down flat . wyatt : [ chuckles ] hope : you know , i - i understand where eric 's coming from . it looks bad to break a contract and go back on your word . i really thought that i could get him to change his mind . i 'm sorry . liam : and i love you for trying . hope : you 're not mad at me ? liam : oh , believe me , i am very aware that it was a lot to ask . hope : and i understand why you did it ! i do ! you know , but we made a deal , and eric says we have to honor that . liam : even if it 's bad for us . hope : well , but eric really liked what he saw ! you know , they 're this small , california - based company trying to make a name for themselves , and that 's how forrester got started . liam : is that the angle that wyatt played up at the meeting ? hope : no , it 's not an angle ! this could be huge for them ! if they link their company name to ours , it could change everything . i asked eric to break it because i do n't want it to cause problems for us . liam : [ laughs ] well , causing problems for us is exactly what wyatt wants to do . hope : i know that 's what you think . liam : no . hope , that 's what he said last night to my face . i mean , he 's gon na do everything he can to steal you away from me . wyatt wants you . hope : you went to see him last night ? liam : yeah , he was -- he was still at forrester , probably waiting for you , just like he 's gon na be waiting for you every day , 'cause that 's his plan , right ? he wants to get close to you . he wants to do everything he can to undermine our relationship until i can get a ring on that finger . i know that day 's not coming as soon as i would like it to , but it 's gon na happen . it is . and until it does , i guess we just ... do n't let him interfere . hope : that 's what i told my mom . liam : how was she ? was she supportive ? hope : she did n't tell me what to do , surprisingly enough . [ both chuckle ] she said the decision was mine . liam : well , i 'm sure she just trusted you to do the right thing . wyatt : um ... quinn : i know that i ... should n't have been eavesdropping , but ... it was kind of like listening in on a private conversation with the royal family or -- or the kennedys . wyatt : mom , the forresters are just people , just like us . quinn : no . they do n't live like us . you should 've seen eric 's house . wyatt : was it big ? quinn : oh , it was ... grand . they do n't even use that word anymore -- grandeur . but , oh , the forresters , they have it in spades . i mean , eric started out just like us . look at what he 's created . we are a part of that now ! honey . i know you 're upset about what hope did . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : but this is good for us . i am so excited about this job ! i 'm so excited about our future ! wyatt : yeah , but what if he had n't have said no ? quinn : he did . wyatt : what if he had n't ? ! what if she convinced him like liam convinced her ? where would we be then ? no . quinn : what ? wait . wyatt , do n't . wyatt : [ clears throat ] quinn : wyatt , where are you going ? !

deacon : and her marriage to wyatt ? charlie , what -- charlie : hang on . hang on . we will fill in all the blanks . brooke : is this about hope 's marriage to wyatt ? charlie : bingo . pam : yes , and how it really happened . donna : well , it happened because liam did n't meet hope at the eiffel tower in time . pam : because he was busy rescuing ivy from the seine after a certain someone pushed her in . charlie : knowing that liam would jump in after her and effect rescue . brooke : wait . you said ivy was pushed ? pam : yes . hope never had the chance to choose a life with liam because quinn was in paris that day , pulling all the strings . charlie : and we have proof . liam : i 'm done listening to you . quinn : [ chuckling ] fine , but do n't be surprised if hope does n't do what you think she 's going to . liam : hope is not gon na stay in a marriage that happened the way hers did to wyatt . quinn : hope did n't have to marry wyatt on that day . she could have said she needed more time , but she did n't because -- liam : because you played god . because you decided whom she should be with , and you made it happen . quinn : i 'm a go - getter , while you sit passively by and boohoo because you did n't get the girl . liam : [ inhales deeply ] wyatt 's not getting the girl . quinn : he already did . he 's hope 's husband . and right now , he is with her , helping her realize ... that she ca n't punish him for something i did . wyatt : if i had any idea the lengths that she would go ... hope : she was supposed to get professional help , wyatt . wyatt : i know . i know , and i promise you -- i will make sure that she does it . hope : you heard her yourself . she 's not sorry . she 's not remorseful . she would do it all over again in a heartbeat if it meant that you and i would be together . wyatt : are you sorry that we 're together ? hope : i - i just hate that we were manipulated . wyatt : me , too , okay ? but you do know that my mother and i are different people , right ? hope : yes , of course i do . wyatt : it 's not like i 'm a boy scout or anything like my brother . occasionally , i step up to the line to get things done , but ... what my mother -- what my mother did -- just -- i know it 's hard not to , but please do n't let it affect our marriage , hope , okay ? say you wo n't let it . charlie : so , brace yourselves . it 's all there . pam : and there is no way that mommy dearest can fast - talk her way out of this . charlie : we 've got her so cold from the time she arrived incognito at the paris airport ... pam : to stealing somebody 's scooter . charlie : ... to arriving at the bridge ... pam : where the poor , unsuspecting ivy was pushed into the seine . brooke : oh , my god . charlie : ... making liam jump in after her , making him miss the meeting with hope at the appointed time . deacon : quinn orchestrated this entire thing from the moment she got on the plane , brooke . charlie : and this document proves that she went to paris and back on the same day all this happened . pam : it 's just lucky for us that charlie 's got contacts in all the right places . donna : otherwise , quinn would have gotten away with this . deacon : who else knows about this ? brooke : does hope ? charlie : we , uh -- we told liam first . pam : i mean , we thought it 'd be better if he told her . charlie : yeah . brooke : oh , my god . i can only imagine his reaction . liam : nobody 's that persuasive , quinn -- not even your son . quinn : he does n't have to be . wyatt did n't do anything wrong , and once hope realizes that -- liam : what hope realizes , quinn , is that her husband 's evil mother robbed her of a chance to choose whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life with . quinn : come on . like it was much of a choice . a boy who brings her stray kittens or a man who brings her a diamond the size of texas . lucky for her , she met up with wyatt in the woods that day , and it was love at first sight . liam : maybe for wyatt . not for hope . quinn : my point is , from the moment they met , wyatt has treated hope the way she deserves to be treated . no wonder she did n't even think when he whisked her away on that yacht , and they exchanged vows . i mean , she finally got the husband she always wanted -- one that was strong and decisive -- not a boy who issues ultimatums or pits one girl against another , like you did with hope and steffy . and before you say it , yes , yes , i am -- i am 100 % aware that i am a big liability in their marriage right now . but i believe in their love for one another , and i think that they 're going to overcome this , and it 's gon na make them stronger . liam : it 's gon na make them stronger ? it 's gon na make their marriage stronger ? a marriage that would n't have even happened unless you risked ivy 's life by pushing her into the seine and almost drowning her in order to keep me from getting to hope ? listen , this is what it keeps coming back to , okay ? your neurotic obsession with your grown son and his love life . it 's not cute , quinn . it 's not funny . it 's not endearing . you deserve to be locked up in a padded room , and if i have anything to say about it , you will be . hope : [ sighs ] wyatt : look , i - i hate what this is doing to you . i mean , we 're newlyweds . we 're just weeks back from our honeymoon , and then here we are , dealing with our first test as husband and wife . you know , that -- that leap of faith that we took together , hope ... i need to know if you 're gon na hold this against me -- something that i did n't even do , something that my mother did , something that if i had the slightest idea she was gon na do , i would put an immediate stop to it . hope : i know . wyatt : even if that meant that you would choose liam and marry him instead of me . hope : i know you would have . it 's ... [ sighs ] wyatt : hope , we have so much going for us . we have so many plans . we 're possibly going into a bigger house and , uh , talking about starting a family . this does n't have to change any of that -- not if we do n't let it ... if you do n't let it . wyatt : what do you -- what do you want to do ? hope : [ sighs ] there are some things that i - i have to go do , okay ? wyatt : yeah . deacon : hey , honey , it 's your dad . uh , just checking to make sure everything 's okay . uh , do me a favor . give me a call . let me know everything 's all right . i love you . brooke : hope 's voicemail ? deacon : yeah , i did n't want to say too much in case , uh , liam had n't told her yet . where were you ? brooke : oh , i was downstairs talking to jarrett . apparently , hope planned this exclusive interview with him for the upcoming fashion show , and i had to tell him that something urgent happened . deacon : urgent ? brooke , our daughter 's life has been completely turned upside down again . brooke : i know , but thankfully , not because of bill this time . deacon : are you sure he 's not in cahoots with quinn ? what ? what ? it would n't be the first time . you remember that little selfie with bill and quinn in bed ? ugh ! brooke : quinn manipulated him the same way she 's manipulating hope and liam right now . i wish she would just stay out of it . deacon : and then she 'd , uh -- she 'd be back with liam instead of wyatt . brooke : [ sighs ] she does love wyatt . it 's just that he is ready to have children , and she 's not -- not that that even matters at this point . deacon : why ? 'cause she might end the marriage and , uh , go back to liam ? brooke : wyatt has made her happy , and he really does love her , and she 's the only woman for him . deacon : you feel for him . brooke : i feel for both of them . i like both of them . i know one of them is going to lose . deacon : wyatt . brooke : all because of his mother . quinn : i realize i 'm the last person you want to see right now . [ sighs ] i - i hate how we left things . hope was so upset . tell me how i can fix it . wyatt : you stay out of it . you 've done enough damage already . quinn : sweetheart , this does n't have to be the end of the world . i mean , you 're still hope 's husband . wyatt : i may not be hope 's husband much longer , thanks to you . quinn : where is she ? wyatt : she left awhile ago ... probably to go see liam .

[ clears throat ] ... the next time that you want to see me , ask me nicely . maybe send me a little smiley emoji , some hearts . `` hey , bro . i 'd love to see you when you get a chance . `` do n't ever demand that i come back to this office , okay ? liam : where the hell were you ? wyatt : [ sighs ] okay . i was in the middle of something , your highness . liam : what ? wyatt : living my life . i do n't know . it 's none of your damn business . liam : oh , cool , cool , cool . sure , sure , sure . hope it was awesome , because you have n't been here all week . wyatt : okay , you know what ? i 've had a very , very pleasant day today , and i would n't change anything about it , really . except for this little exchange that 's going on , being interrogated by my brother , who now is apparently c.e.o . of our family company . how did that even happen , by the way ? hm ? how did you get dad to agree to all this ? wyatt : something 's up . you 're acting weird . dad 's not himself lately . and then here you are suddenly sitting at his desk at his company . and that 's just supposed to be normal ? liam : all i 'm gon na say is , dad 's taking some time off . wyatt : since when ? he does n't even know what that means . he barely even goes out for lunch . but okay . i 'm supposed to believe he simply just stepped down and gave you a shot at being chief executive for what , kicks ? that makes zero sense whatsoever . do you understand me ? liam : wyatt , all right . enough . i am c.e.o . now . it 's not changing anytime soon . you 're just gon na have to get over it . or not . it 's up to you . steffy : did you hear what i said ? liam 's not stepping down . bill : i heard you . steffy : so what do you want to do ? are you okay ? i know this is hard . liam is angry . but you 're his father -- the only one he 's got . hopefully he 'll forgive you . bill : we 'll see . steffy : is something else bothering you ? bill : forget it . steffy : bill , what 's wrong ? if you want me to help you , you have to tell me what 's going on . bill : brooke left me . brooke : i do n't want to hear anything negative about bill from you . ridge : okay . brooke : but i 'm not going back there . ridge : you 're not going back to him ? brooke : back to the house . i just need some space . ridge : he must have really messed up . but -- but you 're not gon na tell me what he did , huh ? well , whatever happened ... maybe it 's for the best . wyatt : do i look like i 'm buying any of this ? liam : do n't be bitter , wyatt . i mean , i 'm sure you 'll be sitting in that chair at some point . but for now , i am c.e.o . , and while i 'm there , i plan on doing some good -- both for the company and the world . wyatt : huh . humor me . like what ? liam : raising salaries . expanding benefits . wyatt : oh , that sounds expensive . liam : wyatt , our employees have been loyal . they helped build this company , some of them for years and years without ever getting a decent raise . that 's not right . they got families . they got kids to put through college . it 's time we recognize their hard work and , well , thank them for putting up with dad all this time . wyatt : i do n't think we have enough money in the entire budget for that . liam : ah ! interesting you bring that up . another thing i 'm doing is allocating more funds to spencer foundation . wyatt : hmm . liam : you know , fund some research , give to some charitable foundations . wyatt : did you run this by dad ? liam : did n't need to . wyatt : you know , he 's not -- he 's not exactly a big fan of giving away money , right ? liam : wyatt , i 'm calling the shots now . wyatt : it just gets -- [ chuckles ] it gets weirder and weirder every time you say it . liam : oh , you 're gon na love this . you know dad 's building ? his , uh , skyscraper project ? wyatt : mm - hmm . liam : not happening . wyatt : what ? liam : yeah , yeah . turns out the , uh , spectra property is no longer available , so ... dad 's building plans are put on hold indefinitely . wyatt : [ laughing ] liam , i - i hate -- i hate to be the bearer of bad news here , but i think you 're getting way ahead of yourself . there is no chance in hell he 's gon na allow you to get away with that . liam : not up to him . wyatt : you know , you keep saying that , but think about it . no one believes in payback more than dad . so be smart and do n't piss him off . steffy : i ca n't believe you told brooke . bill : i do n't want to keep secrets from my wife . steffy : obviously she did n't take it very well . bill : no . [ chuckles ] no . she didn't . you know , i expected she would be upset . question my judgment . i did n't expect she would walk out on me . steffy : [ sighs ] i ca n't say i 'm shocked . a lot of people could 've been hurt at spectra . bill : i told you , i made sure the building was empty . steffy : what about the firefighters ? or the people outside ? people could 've died , bill . and what you did to liam -- bill : i know ! i know . i - i swore i would never be that guy . that i would never treat my kid the way my father treated me . but i was hurt , and i lashed out . it was stupid . i regret it . if i could take it back , i would . i would take it all back . steffy : you did n't think it through . bill : i just went after what i wanted . it 's what i do . i do n't know how to live my life any other way , steffy . steffy : [ sighs ] you 've just got to learn from it and move on . you got to make things right with liam and brooke . bill : i wanted it so bad . i did n't care what it took to get it . but it was n't worth it . my son wo n't speak to me . my wife walked out on me . and why ? because of that -- that obsession with that damn building . well , to hell with it ! i would give 10 skyscrapers to have brooke back . ridge : i know you 're upset , but maybe ... maybe this is a good thing . you leaving spencer . brooke : i did n't say i was leaving . ridge : no , i know you did n't say that . and -- and i know you -- you had high hopes . but you must have known somewhere that he was gon na disappoint you , right ? brooke : no , actually . i did n't know that . i really thought that this time it was going to work out for us . that we wanted the same things and we had the same values . ridge : i hate seeing you like this . i just ... want you to be happy , you know ? hey . i 'm here for you , logan . i 'm always gon na be here for you . [ door opens ] r.j. : hey , dad . ridge : well , my son . still hard at work ? i 'm impressed . r.j. : yeah , i was just reorganizing the photo studio . ridge : the photo studio ? wow , no one 's done that in a long time . thank you . r.j. : yeah , of course . so , uh , what are you doing here ? ridge : i - i 'm still finishing up a few things . r.j. : well , uh , you have any , uh , big plans tonight ? ridge : you want to have dinner with me ? r.j. : maybe . if mom can come , too . ridge : yeah , no , that sounds great . tonight is not the night for that , but -- but some other time , yeah . r.j. : is everything cool ? i saw you guys a little while ago . ridge : you saw us ? why did n't you say hi ? r.j. : it was a little intense . i did n't want to interrupt . mom okay ? ridge : she 's upset . r.j. : why ? what happened ? ridge : spencer happened . r.j. : what 'd he do ? ridge : i do n't know . that 's the question . she would n't tell me . but whatever it was , it was bad enough for her to take a little time away from him . r.j. : mom left bill ? ridge : for the time being , yeah . r.j. : dad , you know what this means ? you and mom can get back together . brooke : your father told me everything . i know you 're c.e.o . , and i also know why . and as his wife , i am very sorry for what my husband 's done . i had no idea . liam : [ scoffs ] there 's no way you could have known . and even if you did , there was nothing you could do about it . brooke : i do n't blame you for taking over spencer publications . spencer is in trouble , and this family 's in turmoil , and you are the one with a moral compass . liam : did he ... send you ? brooke : i walked out on him . liam : oh . so ... you guys are , um ... ? brooke : i - i 'm not sure . i ... i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . i love your father very much , but -- liam : listen , brooke , i - i , um ... i ca n't imagine what you 're going through right now , and i do n't want to speak against him more than i already have , but , for the record , i get it . i see why you had to walk away . bill : i ca n't lose brooke . i wo n't let it end this way . steffy : no , it won't . she 's just overwhelmed right now . bill : no , you did n't see her , steffy . she was furious . steffy : she just needs a minute to take this in . she 'll be back , bill . bill : and what if she does n't come home ? steffy : look , do n't talk that way . she 'll be back . bill : i could n't keep this from her . i had to tell her the truth . steffy : well , i 'm sure she appreciates your honesty . bill : you know , for the first time , i see what i 've done . i 've been a man consumed by his own needs . creating an empire , amassing a fortune , relishing my reputation as dollar bill spencer , and everything that went along with it . but it may have cost me what i value most . my family . my wife and my son . steffy : look at me . it 's gon na be all right . i 'm gon na help you get through this . r.j. : if mom 's leaving bill , then this is your chance to make your move . ridge : all right . do n't -- do n't get your hopes up just yet , all right ? r.j. : you 're thinking the same thing i 'm thinking . and do n't you try denying it . i mean , you want nothing more than to be with mom . and why ca n't you ? i mean , if granddad and quinn can get through all that drama , maybe you and mom can , too . ridge : yeah , well , let 's -- let 's see what happens . r.j. : okay , i - i get you 're trying to act all casual , but i saw what i saw . mom in your arms . ridge : she was upset . r.j. : no , you guys have crazy chemistry . have my entire life . but , you know , i do n't want you feeling any pressure or anything . ridge : oh , well , thank you . r.j. : yeah , well . i 'm just saying , i 'm rooting for you . i 'm sending some good vibes . ridge : if you 're sending good vibes , maybe you should send some to your mom . she needs to find a way to break free of spencer . be nice to be a family again , huh ? brooke : [ sighs ] i had to leave you father . i - i just had to get out of there . liam : i 'm sure it was a -- a shock , what he told you . brooke : yes . i was blindsided . i 'm still stunned . [ sighs ] liam : believe me , i 'm still trying to process everything that happened , myself . brooke : i believed in him . i always saw the best in your father . i never , ever expected this kind of behavior . liam : he 's a criminal . [ scoffs ] do you know -- do you know how much it kills me to say that out loud ? my father is a criminal . and the scariest thing about all this is that he -- he does n't understand that . he does n't see how ruthless , how reckless he 's actually been . that 's why i had to take the company away from him -- to protect us from him . and until he changes -- if , by some miracle , that day ever comes -- i 'm not letting him anywhere near here . or me . or anyone i care about . and , yeah , he 's not gon na like it , but tough . that 's the way it is . brooke ... i so respect you for standing your ground . and as his son , this is probably the worst thing for me to say , but it 's the best advice i got . leave him . find your happiness with someone else , because trust me , you deserve so much better . brooke : what you 're saying to me right now , what you 're doing to your father , this could be a very dangerous situation . you know that bill takes revenge very seriously . liam : i know . [ scoffs ] he already lost his company . with you walking away , too ... brooke : he could stand to lose everything that he cares about . and you know he 's not gon na take that lying down . [ clicks tongue ] he 's gon na come after you , liam . hard . it 's not gon na be pretty . liam : let him come . there 's nothing more he can do to hurt me . steffy : i 've never seen this side of you . bill : well , it 's embarrassing . y - you might want to leave . it must be pathetic to watch . steffy : no , it 's not . you 're human . actually , the most human i 've ever seen you . bill : hurts like hell . brooke walking out on me , not knowing if she 's coming back . steffy : she will . brooke will come home . bill : you 're an exceptional woman , steffy . of course , i 've always known that . liam 's lucky to have you . after everything he 's put you through , i 'm not sure deserves you . | ridge comforts brooke and she confides in him that bill did something . ridge is not surprised . he says it was only a matter of time . steffy tells bill that she talked to liam and told him everything that bill said about being sorry but he is too hurt and would not listen . she knows bill crossed the line and they eventually will get back together but not yet . liam is not stepping down as ceo . bill will have to be okay with that . she wants to know if something else is bothering him . if he needs her help he has to tell her . she is stunned when he blurts out that brooke left him . she did not take his news well at all . he says he messed up . he was stupid and he wishes he could take it all back . she reminds him again that he has to make this right with liam and move on . bill admits he would give ten skyscrapers to get brooke back . wyatt goes to the office and tells liam to never demand that he come back here , he was in the middle of something ( katie ) and he does not appreciate being interrogated by his brother . he knows something has happened with bill gone and liam sitting in his desk and that is not normal . wyatt says bill does not even go out to lunch so it makes zero sense that he took time off being ceo . liam says he will have to get over it , it is up to wyatt . ridge says bill must have really messed up . brooke says yes and for now she needs her space . ridge thinks it is for the best . liam tells wyatt that he is going to make some changes like giving raises . that is not right and he wants to recognize their hard work . and he wants to do some more work on his foundation , raise more money . wyatt says bill is not exactly a big fan of giving away money . liam says no matter , he is in charge now . and there will be no sky . those plans have been put on hold . wyatt says he hates saying this but he thinks liam is getting way ahead of himself so be smart and not piss their dad off . brooke tells ridge that this time she thought she could make it with bill ; that they both wanted the same things . |
justin : what ? so katie and thorne are engaged . bill : that 's what i said . justin : so how did you handle it ? bill : i wanted to knock him out . but i kept it in check because my son was standing right there . justin : they told you right in front of will ? bill : damn right , they did . justin : oh , that 's low . that is low . so what does your son have to say ? bill : he 's happy about it . justin : you think he was coached ? bill : not by katie . but thorne ? oh , yeah . pushing that usual forrester agenda -- stick to dollar bill , even if it means stealing his son . justin : this could be a problem . if those two get hitched before the hearing , a judge might consider the stable home to be a factor . eric : flawless . katie : [ giggles ] thorne : yes , she is . pam : um , have you seen her in the kitchen ? charlie : pammy . pam : well , i 'm just saying . eric : we could n't be happier . both of you . katie : thanks . eric : congratulations . thorne : thanks , dad . eric : congratulations . ridge : hey . well done . thorne : thank you . ridge : ahh ! you 're gon na be a great husband and a wonderful father to will . congrats , man . welcome to the modeling squad . xander : hey , thanks . oh , so do you guys call yourselves , like , `` the mod squad , `` or ... ? no . sally : guess who discovered him , danny ? you ? steffy : and me . sally : it was kind of an unexpected audition . steffy : yeah , we walked in on him changing into his gym clothes . seriously ? there 's never a dull moment around here . steffy : anyway , show him the ropes . i actually have another announcement . sally will now be helping design for the intimates line . okay , sally ! nice ! congrats , sal ! sally : thank you . hope : wait , you 're leaving hope for the future ? steffy : sally will now be devoting her time and her talent to the intimates line . hope : steffy , sally is a member of my team . steffy : the only reason you hired her is because my grandfather insisted . hope : okay , that is irrelevant . i still should have been consulted . steffy : what , you want her back ? hope : no , what i want is a little respect . xander : uh , excuse me . is it okay if we head to the fitting ? steffy : yeah , sure . xander : oh , did you hear the other good news ? i 'm modeling for intimates . imagine that , huh ? hope : congratulations . looks like there 's been a lot of changes around here without my knowledge . uh , xander , could you ask sally to stay ? ridge : have you told will yet ? thorne : sure have . brooke : how did he take it ? katie : he 's happy . he adores thorne . pam : you three are gon na make a beautiful family . charlie : and give that boy some stability . thorne : well , that 's the plan . quinn : how did bill react ? does he even know ? katie : yeah , we told him . he was furious . bill : got to admit , a smart move -- get hitched , hope to sway the judge . justin : not the best reason to get married , but ... bill : well , it is , as far as thorne 's concerned . keeps me from seeing my son . hell , maybe i should go find a bride quick . marry you ! our courtship would be as long as theirs was . justin : well , at least you still have visitation rights . bill : visitation rights . you think i 'm gon na see my son on thorne 's schedule ? he 's gon na have me jumping through hoops . no way . that 's not happening . justin : so , what are you gon na do , dollar bill ? bill : the only thing i can do . xander : this gig is not as easy as i thought . you put on boxers , you take a pose , click . what 's so hard about that , right ? my friends think it 's cake . xander : well , i did , too . i mean , not anymore , though . zoe : i heard this crazy rumor that -- xander : no . the team has a new male model . zoe : are you serious ? oh , that 's awesome . steffy : i have patience , hope , but only so much . like you , i have a job to do . now , why did you drag us up here ? you 're upset about my hiring practices ? i get it , but we can talk about this later . hope : it 's more than that . look , okay , tell me something , sally . i know you have an interesting portfolio . i 've seen it all . but other than that , i mean , why would you want to design for steffy for anyone else at this company ? sally : because of my portfolio . look , hope , not only did i have my own line , i ran my own company . i 'm good . better than good . and all i needed was a little boost , and steffy is giving me that , and i will not let her down . hope : given your past with her ? look , i 'm sorry , i just -- i do n't think someone should come into the company that she has stolen from , lied about , costed millions , and then just be given a position on a design team and suddenly be trusted . steffy : i have not forgotten what sally has done to the company or to my family , but she has proven her loyalty . and as you and i know very well , everyone deserves a second chance . sally , i 'd like a moment alone with hope . and , sally , you were privy to a private conversation between hope and me . if i hear any part of this conversation repeated , you will be fired . is that clear ? welcome to the intimates design team . sally : and i swear to both of you , not only will i be a valuable asset to the intimates team but also to forrester creations . steffy : now ... give me your best shot . justin : yeah , stacey . okay . i 'll relay the information . all right , we 'll be in touch . thank you . so , i gave her the down and dirty . bill : who is this family law attorney ? justin : she 's the best in town . she 's good . i told her everything about thorne and katie . bill : yeah , i heard all that , justin . what 's her take on it ? justin : well , she 's also concerned about how this impact the case . bill : i will not lose will . i love that boy . he means everything to me . so i will do whatever it takes . whatever it takes , justin . katie : yeah , the case is moving forward . eric : and you both want this . ridge : it 's not that they want it , dad , they need it . will needs it . thorne : we agree . brooke : do you agree , katie ? katie : yes , brooke , i agree . quinn : have bill 's attorneys responded ? thorne : not yet . eric : nothing ? no attempt to negotiate a settlement of any kind ? ridge : bill does n't negotiate . he hits you over the head with a hammer when your back is turned . katie : i 'm sure we 'll hear from him before it goes to court . ridge : oh , i 'm not so sure about that . i think he 's got something up his sleeve . thorne : like what ? ridge : i do n't know , but whatever it is , we got to be ready . we got to fight for that little boy . and if he wants to fight dirty , we 'll fight dirty . brooke : so , what are you suggesting , ridge ? ridge : i 'm suggesting we do whatever we have to to win this custody battle . brooke : we ? ridge : yes , we . we 're family . these two need all the support they can get . thorne : we have a strong case , ridge . katie : hopefully we have a stronger case with this . thorne : yeah . quinn : well , the judge is gon na do what 's best for the child . eric : and what 's best for will is to be raised in a family with two loving parents . ridge : i 'm sorry -- i 'm sorry for interrupting you . you really think that bill is gon na let the court settle this ? you ca n't trust that guy , you know that . excuse me . zoe : and steffy just hired you on the spot ? xander : yeah . crazy , right ? zoe : oh , well , she must have been impressed by your assets . the way i 've always been . hope : you think i 'm being unreasonable . steffy : i think you 're still angry over the budget allocations . hope : no , what upsets me , steffy , is your attitude . steffy : my attitude ? what about yours ? hope : look , would it really have been that much of a burden to just come to me and ask me before hiring sally ? and now , i mean , you know her . she 's getting a front row seat to me being disrespected by you , and she 's loving it , i 'm sure . steffy : she 's a designer , hope . and a good one . i think she 's a great fit for the intimates line . hope : you are suddenly singing a very different tune about sally , but , tell me , are you avoiding my point on purpose , or is it just because you do n't care ? steffy : okay , okay . in a perfect world , you and i would sit down and discuss our mutual personnel needs . i would ask to borrow sally . but we do n't live a perfect world . you and i have a very imperfect relationship . hope : and that 's on me . steffy : yeah , i think it is . this is n't a competition , hope . hope : it 's not because you won the competition , steffy . i did n't stand a chance . the second you teamed up with ridge and stole my funding -- and do n't tell me that it was purely a business decision , because it wasn't . it was just daddy taking care of his little girl . steffy : wow , i resent that . hope : you think i do n't resent what 's happened to me , what 's happened to my line after all of its success ? not to mention all the backpedaling we have to do with charities now ? steffy : well , life is n't fair , hope , in love , as i 've learned , and in business , as now you 're learning . katie : hey . did you catch up with ridge ? brooke : of course not . he flew out of the parking lot before i even got down the elevator . look , i 'm happy for you and thorne . i think he 's a great guy . he 's gon na be a good husband . but i am not happy about this custody battle . it 's gon na hurt a lot of people that i care about , katie . including you . bill : oh , well , well , well . your sewing machine must be broken . killing time ? ridge : are you grumpy ? you having a bad day ? bill : bad day ? [ scoffs ] i do n't have bad days , only some great days that are less great than others . ridge : okay , and on this less - than - great day , i thought you 'd be with your attorneys , maybe . bill : what do you want , forrester ? ridge : oh , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . no , i do n't want anything . i got what i want . i 'm looking at you falling apart . bill : falling apart ? you better look a little closer , huh ? ridge : you 're handsome . but this is weird to me , to see you like this , in a situation beyond your control . bill : no situation is beyond my control . you 've got to know that by now . ridge : i know , i know . i used to think that , too . but this is different now . things have caught up with you . bill : you are boring me to tears . ridge : come on , william . that 's not your `` bored `` face . that 's your worried face . and it 's the right one . because you 're about to lose your son . zoe : i remember the first time i saw you in underwear . did n't last long . as i recall . xander : all right . we are going to be working together . zoe : in very little wardrobe . xander : we 're gon na keep it professional , zoe . zoe : [ chuckles ] wearing practically nothing ? that 's a profession i intend to enjoy , and you will , too . with my help . xander : [ laughs ] what , are you gon na coach me ? zoe : mm , no need . you 'll be a natural . xander : i will , huh ? zoe : yeah , well , you and i have a long history of being around each other with very little on . we 'll be great together . we always were . hope : so that 's what this is about . life is n't fair . steffy : i 'm glad you agree . hope : no , you 're feeling cheated , so now it 's payback time , right ? steffy : this may come as a surprise , but my life does not revolve around you . i 'm working on a very big line that 's gon na make very big profits . hope : unlike mine , which has suddenly shrunk . steffy : i could have been in the exact same position as you . hope : [ scoffs ] not a chance , and you knew that . steffy : okay , so where do we stand ? because i have work to do . and given the challenge to your line , so do you . hope : wow . you 're really loving this , are n't you ? throwing it in my face after all that goodness and love that you had expressed for weeks earlier . well , finally , yeah , your true colors are showing through . you are out to get me , and we both know why , do n't we , steffy ? katie : if i give will the stability he needs without dragging bill into court , i would do it . brooke : you do n't need custody , katie . you already have custody . katie : which i share with bill , and that 's not working . i need to take control of the situation . i have a very unhappy little boy because his father only shows up when his busy schedule allows for it . it 's damaging my son . brooke : it 's gon na be even more damaging to go into a custody battle . for you , for will , for thorne , and for everybody ! god , ca n't you see ? this is a situation that 's going to explode . bill : well , i 'm sure you have a dress to hem , so bye . ridge : this was a big year for you , was n't it ? you went after steffy , your son 's wife , mother of your granddaughter ... bill : your daughter . ridge : yeah . my daughter . and you destroyed her marriage . but you did n't do it yourself , did you ? you sent your other boy to do it because that 's what you do . you got to be proud of that . bill : [ chuckles ] look at you . this is fun . you 're standing there trying to goad me , trying to bait me into hitting you to strengthen katie 's case . well , that ai n't gon na happen . ridge : no . what i was hoping for were was you were gon na stand up and be a man and take responsibility for what you did to your family and to mine . bill : oh , i 've taken responsibility . i suggest you go home and take care of your responsibilities . ridge : the responsible thing to do would be to give katie full custody . bill : not if there was a gun to my head . ridge : i get it . it 's got to be so hard for you , man . you have a kid that wants to have nothing to do with you because you ignored him for so long . it 's all right . he 's gon na be fine . he 's got thorne now . and thorne 's gon na show him what being a man is about . bill : thorne 's gon na show him what being a man is about ? come on , now . he 's a zero . you know that . he 's less than zero . ridge : well , that less - than - zero 's gon na be there . he 's not gon na run away , he 's not gon na avoid your son . he 's not gon na pretend that he 's busy and just not be around for him . bill : yeah , he 's a real ward cleaver . the kind of guy who could raise a kid to be a doormat . ridge : he 's gon na be everything that you 're not . he 's gon na be kind and supportive and loving . and he 's gon na be living with him and with katie in the same house , and there 's nothing you can do about it . and once this thing goes before the court , any judge is gon na rule in katie 's favor . and you know that , too , do n't you ? i can see it in your beady little eyes . man , you just take and you take and you take , and now it 's come back and smacked you right in the mouth . this is your reality now . bill : number one , the beady eyes crack -- that hurt my feelings , but i 'm gon na let that go . number two , if you think for a freakin ' nanosecond i 'm gon na give up on my son , then you 're as stupid as thorne . i love that boy , and i will fight to the death to protect him from you and your silver - spoon - fed brother . this is a joke . you think you 're one step ahead of me . well , you 're always three steps behind . i 'm gon na win . because i always win . and i have a little surprise for you and your milk - toast mayonnaise brother . and there ai n't a damn thing you can do to stop it . | bill grouses to justin that yes it was all coached . katie and thorne stood there in front of he and will and told both of them that they were getting married . just like the foresters always sticking it to dollar bill . justin wonders what he will do and bill replies the only thing he can do . xander asks hope if she has heard that he is now working with intimates . she says yes , seems like a lot has happened around here without her knowledge . she reminds steffy it would have been nice to have given her a little notice ; it is called respect . sally walks in so all steffy says is that if hope has problems with her hiring practices they can talk about that later . hope does not understand why after all that happened sally would even want to work with steffy and intimates . sally says she is only doing what her own company would have wanted to do and she owes that loyalty now to forrester . steffy tells hope that everyone deserves a second chance . then she tells sally that this is private and if she hears her telling anyone else about this conversation then she is fired . eric and quinn , thorne and katie get into a conversation along with brooke and ridge about the upcoming marriage . ridge charges off without brooke and says they are dreaming if they think things will be fair and bill will accept whatever the judge says . ridge shows up at bill 's . he says on this less than great day he thought he might be with his attorney and falling apart . it is great like this with the situation out of his control . bill assures him things are never out of his control . ridge differs ; this time he will lose his son . |
stephanie : eric , he 's still your only son . eric : well , you tell him that . he 's not acting like my son . stephanie : well , you did n't act like his father . he 's trying to teach you a lesson . eric : what lesson is that , that crime pays ? he stole our collection . every single design . months and months of hard work , and not just mine , everybody in this building . you want to excuse that ? stephanie : no , i want to get to the heart of the problem . eric : well , i want to eliminate the problem . i 've got jonathan coming in . stephanie : what ? why ? eric : look , thorne 's pushed me into a corner . he 's forced my hand . stephanie : he forced you to choose between him and ridge . we should 've stood by thorne and we did n't . i just hope it 's not too late . eric : well , i 'm not going to excuse criminal behavior . stephanie : behavior ? criminal behavior ? what about our behavior ? what about all the years and years of hard work and loyalty on his part ? how did we reward that ? eric : you ca n't justify what he 's done ! stephanie : i 'm not trying to , but two wrongs do n't make a right . someone has to start showing some caring and some loyalty ! we 've got to start acting like a family again , or we 're not gon na be one ! listen to me and listen to me very carefully . i will walk away from this company , and i will never look back . but i will not walk away from our son . we have to find a way to make peace . clarke : `` in a move reminiscent of the great equestrian underdog , seabiscuit , spectra couture came from behind and outflanked forrester creations to win the first contest of the season , yesterday , when they debuted their extraordinary new line . `` [ cheers and applause ] there 's this one , too . this one , too . `` clarke garrison 's gowns made the showroom audience gasp in awe . he joins the ranks of such talented designers as christian dior , john galliano and ridge forrester . `` [ applause ] darla : oh , my , that is an awesome review . congratulations , mr . genius . clarke : i 'm not the real genius around here . we all know who that is . our president , our very own seabiscuit , thorne forrester . [ applause ] darla : yeah , mr. president . stephanie : this is all our fault . eric : stephanie , what thorne has done here is a crime . stephanie : i understand that . i see that . why ca n't you ? we 've driven him to this . ridge : this guy 's as low as they come . a traitor to his own family . brooke : and from what ridge tells me , he 's proud of it . samantha : he actually stole the whole line ? eric : yes , right out from under our noses . in spite of all of our security precautions . megan : but even with thorne 's inside knowledge , he would have to be a magician to be able to slip those designs out without us noticing . rick : well , every magician has an assistant . eric : and that 's who we have to find . we have to find who helped thorne do this . ridge : it could be someone you 're working right beside . no one is above suspicion now . stephanie : i do not want this to turn into a witch hunt . eric : but we have to get to the bottom of this . ridge : look , i 'm putting you all on notice as of now . whoever was disloyal , whoever was stupid enough to throw this company over to my brother right here , is going to be very , very sorry . fines and jail time are just the beginning of what they have to look forward to . so , take that back and tell everyone . you go up against forrester creations , you better be prepared to pay . thorne has started a war here , and we 're gon na finish it . we 're gon na win it . thorne : okay , well , that 's great . thank you . all right , we 'll talk soon . clarke : hey , everybody . just got off the phone on a conference call with lauren fenmore . she said we really put ourselves on the map yesterday . and she tripled her order . [ cheers and applause ] darla : oh , that 's great . sally 's gon na go crazy ! clarke : now this is only the beginning , because forrester is going to be forced to cancel their showing . wait until the world gets a load of that . the forresters are gon na fall flat on their face . [ cheers and applause ] and this is all thanks to our new general , thorne forrester . [ cheers ] i think this man deserves a drink . let 's get him a drink . i deserve one , too . employee : here you go , thorne . thorne : i 'm okay , brother . thanks . clarke : better enjoy it while you can . we 're gon na be working our butts off for the next few months . thorne : oh , i am enjoying it . clarke : could 've fooled me . darla : thorne did n't get much sleep last night . clarke : oh , really ? good for you two . darla : that 's not what i meant , clarke . thorne : i just kept playing the fashion show over and over in my head . clarke : well , no wonder , standing there at the end of the runway with the waves of applause cascading over you . oh , thorne , that was your finest hour . thorne : yeah . my finest hour . samantha : i 'm so sorry that you 're having to go through this . eric : this is a dark day around here for all of us . ridge : yeah , tell me about it . there wo n't be a single forrester employee untouched by what thorne 's done here . megan : eric ? jonathan 's here . eric : oh , good , good . send him in . thanks , sam , for all your support . samantha : well , you know , anything that i can do . eric : thanks . jonathan ? jon , it 's good to see you . jonathan : i 'm still reeling at the news . rick : yeah , join the crowd . jonathan : thorne , of all people -- i just never would 've thought it . brooke : apparently , he 's been jealous of ridge and all of his successes for years now . suddenly , he just snapped . stephanie : it 's a little more complicated than that , brooke . eric : jonathan , can i get you something ? jonathan : oh , no , no , no , thank you . i 'm fine . ridge : fine and raring for a fight , i hope , because i sure am . jonathan : it 's going to be a tough one . ridge : why would you say that ? thorne infiltrated our offices . he ripped off all of our designs . that sounds like grand larceny to me . jonathan : where 's the proof ? ridge : here 's the proof , jonathan . this is our latest collection right here , and i have all the original sketches to prove it . jonathan : and who 's to say they came first ? rick : we have dated records of every step of the design process . jonathan : oh , i 'm sure thorne has his records , too . rick : fake records . jonathan : your word against his . ridge : jonathan , i can get hundreds of experts to come in and testify , this is typical forrester style . stephanie : anyone can copy a style , ridge . jonathan : exactly . do n't forget , he 's a forrester , too . there 's nothing here that authenticates these as yours . now , if you had beaten thorne to the punch with the release of your line , we 'd be looking at a whole different story . as it is , we 're looking at a legal long shot . ridge : great . just great . so my brother screws us over and he lucks out by facing no consequences . eric : lucks out ? rick : he really outplayed us this time , did n't he , dad ? eric : yeah , he did . he took our designs , he cornered the market on the finest fabrics and he debuted ahead of us . which guarantees spectra an upper hand in any courtroom preceding . stephanie : he outmaneuvered us . eric : yeah , i have to give him credit . ridge : credit ? ! he 's cost us millions . brooke : not to mention what it will do to our reputation . rick : dad , right now , we have to cancel this entire collection and start from scratch . we can worry later about explaining the delays . ridge : now i 'm going to have to handle this . stephanie : by doing what ? ridge : by contacting all of our buyers , all of our distributors . eric : i think so . i think a few well - finessed phone calls will take care of it . ridge : no , dad , it 's got to be more than just phone calls . i 've got to do this in person . damn him . over there basking in the limelight now . able to go home to his wife and kid . where me , i 've got to go out and travel now . clean up this mess . jonathan , i do n't care what it takes , i want you to prosecute this bastard . i want you to pursue every avenue . i want him dragged through the courts ! i want him facing criminal charges . stephanie : no . ridge : what do you mean , `` no `` ? stephanie : no , ridge , no . your brother has come in second best his whole life . this time , he 's coming in first place . ridge : and you 're still riding on my coattails . profiting off of my creativity ! stephanie : thorne , please do n't do this . darla : let him go ! stop it ! ridge : you stole our designs and you 're going to pay for it . big mistake , little brother ! big mistake . darla : honey ? you okay ? thorne : yeah . i just did n't expect to feel this way darla : but you came out on top . showed your family what you can do when you have people behind you who believe and trust in you . thorne : yeah , i showed 'em . darla : yeah . thorne : but that 's not what they saw . they saw a traitor . a disap -- they saw a thief . darla : sweetie -- thorne : you know what ? i did . i did come out on top , but did i really win what i was after ? their respect ? no . ridge : mother , you 're standing up for the guy who 's trying to crush us . stephanie : that 's not what he 's doing . ridge : the hell he is n't ! stephanie : this is not about revenge , ridge . ridge : well , what in god 's name do you call it then ? stephanie : it 's a cry in the dark . he 's trying to get us to understand the pain that he 's in . brooke : pain ? stephanie : yes , pain . years and years of short shrift . less attention than you got . ridge : oh , please ! you gave him every bit as much love as the rest of us . stephanie : well , he did n't understand that . ridge : well , that 's his problem . stephanie : no , it 's not . it 's my problem . and it 's my fault . eric : no , stephanie , it 's our fault . ridge : what has gotten into you two here ? stephanie : we did n't make it clear to him . we did n't take the time to make him understand what he meant to us . and because he 's the kind of kid that he turned out to be , we took him for granted . all the years in that damn basement , and the two of you up here in these beautiful executive suites . ridge : because that was our part of the job . that was thorne 's part of the job . he was paying his dues . stephanie : well , he paid them till he did n't have anything left in the bank , and i did n't see it . and when when we finally did give him something , what did we turn around and do ? pull the rug right out from underneath him ! patted him on the head like a good little boy and said , `` go back downstairs to the basement . `` ridge : look , you two have to stop blaming yourself for all -- stephanie : i should 've seen this . we gave him no choice . ridge : we did give him a choice , mother ! and now he chose the one that would hurt us the most ! stephanie : oh , really ? and how has it hurt us ? what have we lost ? a little prestige , a few sales , a little money . we 've had worse publicity than this . what has your brother lost ? ridge : my brother stands to gain everything out of this . eric : everything except the thing he wants most . our respect . stephanie : exactly . i want to go over there and talk to him . i want to see if we can work this out . i want to see if he 'll forgive us . eric : i 'll go with you . ridge : well , just great . why do n't you give him a medal while you 're at it ? ! darla : you 're not the only that should feel guilty , thorne . your family should . for making you accept second best all these years . thorne : i just thought when it was finally me at the end of that runway , it 'd be everything i ever wanted . but you saw the way mother look at me backstage . like she did n't even know me . like she did n't even want to know me . you know , they just want me to go back to being the chump . a doormat . well , i ca n't anymore , darla , i ca n't live like that . darla : i know , i know . thorne : and if that 's what they ant to make them proud or -- there 's probably nothing i can do now to make them proud of me , huh ? darla : honey . thorne : i 'm just going to have to accept it . my parents are never going to forgive me . your crock - pot slow cooker . ridge : what an upside down world we live in , huh ? my brother commits highway robbery and my parents now go to congratulate him . brooke : i do n't think that 's what they 're doing , ridge . ridge : oh , now you 're going over to their side ? brooke : no , i 'm trying not to take sides at all . that 's what your mother was saying . having to choose one over the other , that 's what got us in this trouble in the first place . ridge : since when did you start listening to my mother ? brooke : i know , it 's pretty hard to believe , is n't it ? but while she was talking , i was thinking , `` what if that were one of our kids ? `` what if hope grew up feeling that we loved r.j. more than we loved her , or vice versa ? ridge : well , that would never happen . we 'd never put our kids in that position . you know that . brooke : not intentionally . you know how things go . what if you said something in the heat of the moment and one child internalizes that . or we 're paying more attention to one kid , because of a problem he 's having , and the other one feels neglected . would n't you want to do everything you possibly could to make that right ? ridge : i understand my parents are feeling a lot of guilt right now . but i also think that guilt can cause you to go too far in the opposite direction . brooke : there 's no easy fix , is there ? ridge : not for any of us . all i know is that i know i have to go away for awhile , and i 'm sure as hell gon na miss you . brooke : do you really have to go ? ridge : i 'll be back as soon as i can . we can pick up right where we left off , okay ? which i believe should be right here . darla : thorne . thorne : back for round two ? eric : we did n't come to argue . we came to talk . thorne : i really do n't see the point . darla : he already knows how you feel . stephanie : it 's so sad , is n't it ? that it would take something as drastic as this for you to get our attention . well , you 've got it . thorne : what 's this about ? eric : it 's about this . you did it . you accomplished everything you said you would . i underestimated you . big time . stephanie : you told me , you told me you had the loyalty of a lot of people at forrester . and you really did , did n't you ? because it took someone with enormous loyalty to take a big chance like that and bring these designs over here to you . thorne : all right . if this is a ploy to stop me from distributing the collection -- stephanie : no , it is n't . eric : this is your time in the spotlight . your brother and i have been accepting the applause and the awards all these years while you were quietly building the foundation . so much of our success is due to you , son . the collection is yours . take it . run with it . darla : oh , my god . thorne : what 's the catch ? stephanie : there is n't any . thorne : all right , i do n't understand . stephanie : this is our gift to you . eric : i was wrong , son . stephanie : we were both wrong . and we really respect you for forcing us to face it . thorne : you respect me ? stephanie : absolutely . completely . your strength and your perseverance -- a lot of people would have folded under something like this . but you did n't . you never did . you stood there . you stood tall . and you 've demanded our love and our respect . and i 'm here to tell you , you 've got it . you are everything , everything your father and i could ever want in a son . and i 'm just -- i 'm so sorry that you just never knew that . oh , baby , i 'm so sorry . god , i 'm so sorry . and your father is , too . we love you so much . | ridge swears revenge on thorne and whoever helped him to steal the whole line of designs from forrester . eric also wants revenge at first until stephanie talks to them all and explains that she thinks thorne was just hurting very badly . slowly the rest of the family comes around to thinking the same way stephanie does . everyone except ridge who realizes that he will have to do some traveling to try to straighten things out with all their buyers now . he softens a little when brooke explains what it must be like for his parents to realize that one of their children has felt unloved and unappreciated his whole life . |

( cell phone rings ) marcus : yeah ? all right , i 'm on it . yeah . i got ta go . thorne : okay . thanks , man . marcus : all right . thorne : look , i know what you 're both thinking , okay ? but it 's not as hopeless as it seems . steffy : he shut all three of us down , thorne . thomas : it 's not gon na change . it 's all about his other family now . steffy : yeah , brooke , hope , and hope for the fut -- thomas : hope and her wedding . steffy : well , yeah . but -- but thank you for going to bat for us . thomas : yeah , it felt good having someone on our side for once . thorne : well , your mother 's on your side , too . there 's nothing she would n't do for you and your sister . steffy : yeah , and we love her for it , but when it comes to things around here , i mean -- thomas : it 's all about who 's in control . and dad 's c.e.o . that says everything . steffy : yeah , we have to accept dad 's decision and brooke 's . thorne : well , that 's what everyone believes ... but it 's not true . [ scene_break ] brooke : you okay ? ( sighs ) you seem a little preoccupied . ridge : yeah , well , there was something different about my brother . brooke : the way he was defending steffy and thomas , you mean ? ridge : you noticed . brooke : yeah . stephanie was , too , just not as openly . ridge : mother 's made a mess of things with steffy and thomas . i think it 's probably her way of trying to repair the damage . brooke : ( sighs ) she 's asked me to forgive her more than once ... and i have ... to a certain ascent . ( sighs ) but there 's somebody else 's forgiveness she wanted even more -- taylor 's . and i 'm afraid that she really alienated herself , because she asked taylor to talk to thomas to give his shares back . ridge : i want to talk to taylor about that . it 'd be a lot easier if she 'd just give me her proxy to vote the stock . brooke : do you really think she would do that ? controlling those shares gives her a lot of power in the company . ridge : sweetheart , taylor 's the least of our worries right now . [ scene_break ] taylor : i would n't be so sure . hell hath no fury like a woman scorned . thorne : so , thomas , with the 25 % shares your grandmother gave you -- thomas : whoa , whoa , thorne . wait . those shares -- they 're in a trust . i ca n't vote them . thorne : no , but your mother can . steffy : how ? wait . i - i do n't -- i do n't get it . thorne : stephanie made her trustee , remember ? steffy : uh - huh . thorne : so that gives taylor complete control to vote those stocks as she sees fit . you see where i 'm going with this , guys ? steffy : wait , you 're saying 25 % added to my 25 % ... thomas : and my 5 % ... thorne : and the three of you vote those shares as a block ... steffy : wait ... you ... mom and i , w - we 'd control 55 % of forrester creations ? thomas : 55 % of forrester creations . thorne : it 's more than enough to make some big changes around here . steffy : oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . thomas : ( scoffs ) does mom know ? thorne : yes . i did some research , and i went to her . look ... ( sighs ) i realize that this ca n't make up for everything that she 's been through and all the pain she 's been caused , but if it can help just a little , then ... thomas : just the other day , you were saying our family needs a champion . well , steffy and i , we could n't have found a better one . steffy : yeah , neither could our mom . thorne : well , let 's go find her . maybe she has n't left yet . thomas : ( sighs ) ( laughs ) steffy : ( mouths words ) oh , my god . what ? ( scoffs ) well , well , there she is . our hope for the future . hope : ( clears throat ) okay . ( sighs ) look , steffy , i - i get why you 'd be upset , jealous , even , um ... steffy : oh . hope : i mean , i - i 'm marrying an awesome guy . i have 100 % backing for the ad budget and 100 % backing from dad . but i do n't expect you to be happy for me or to support my line . we 've tried to be friends . well , o - okay , i 've tried , but that just never seems to happen , does it ? steffy : oh , you 're heartbroken , i can tell . oh , well . i mean , like you said , you have everything going for you , plus you have this fiancé who is totally devoted . you know , actually , i 'm surprised you 're not with him right now on the beach , hand in hand , you know , about to share a kiss . but you -- you 're a busy girl . you 're determined to have it all , and it looks like you do , but holding on to it is something else entirely . things can change in a heartbeat when you least expect it . [ scene_break ] taylor : pam was n't at her desk . ridge : it 's okay . the meeting was over . brooke : i 'll let you two talk . taylor : hmm . so -- so there was a - a meeting , official board business ? because if it was ... ridge : actually , doc , that 's what i wanted to discuss with you . i know mother spoke to you as trustee about urging thomas to give her shares in forrester back to her . taylor : i assume she also told you that that is not going to happen . ridge : i understand why you might feel that way . i 'm still upset with mother , too . but what if i made sure that those shares would all be distributed equally and fairly ? would that make a difference ? taylor : you 're asking me again for me to give those shares to you ? ridge : yes . though if you 're not comfortable doing that ... i do n't know if you realize this , but as trustee , you have the power to vote those shares . i know how busy you are with your practice and all the other things you have in your life . i just thought it might be easier for you . taylor : give you ... legal authority to vote my 25 % ? ridge : we 'd give you time to sort all that out . and , as c.e.o . , i 'm the one that should be dictating what happens in this company anyway . taylor : hmm . ridge : doc , you know you can trust me . and i 'm always gon na look out for our children and their best interest , even if it 's not something they really agree with me on all the time . ( door opens ) thorne : what 's going on ? taylor : uh , ridge was trying to get me to sign over my voting rights to him . ridge : for the good of the company and for everyone concerned . thorne : oh , that 's a crock and you know it . do n't do it , taylor . do n't sign away anything to my brother . | thomas is aghast to hear steffy admit that she is falling in love with liam . she is not seducing him but .ridge is in a hurry to get this meeting started . marcus pulls himself away from dayzee long enough to go check for taylor to see if thorne is in the meeting or can see her . taylor makes mention that it looks like dayzee is seeing a lot of marcus and growing closer . she tells her of her mysterious man showing up on her doorstep according to what anthony predicted . ridge tells the group that the sales are good and the paris trip exceeded all their expectations . the message has been heard around the world that women can have choices and still respect their bodies . steffy takes offense to having to hear this all again . thorne speaks up and says he is questioning some of ridge 's decisions to spend most of their ad money backing hope 's line . he would like to see a broader horizon and other lines should be included . he says thomas is wasting his time spending it in the basement . ridge says he knows what he is doing ; that is why he is running the company . they all have their say and hope says this is a family business and they are all in this together . ridge tells steffy that he is not playing favorites , but he looks at thomas and says is not renewing the taboo line ; that 's final . in fact , with all the buzz of hope 's wedding , he wants to throw all his support that way and capitalize on that . thorne tells him that he 's lost his mind as he huffs off . stephanie is stunned and concerned as the meeting ends . hope proudly shows steffy the mock - up of her wedding invitation , shutting steffy up for the moment . hope is grateful to her dad for his support . brooke , ridge and hope all group hug . |
katie : did i just hear what i think i heard ? bill : katie , do n't start jumping to conclusions . katie : am i seriously seeing this -- this sorry excuse for a man standing in your office ? bill : will you listen to me ? katie : you sent him to italy ? to do what ? to traumatize hope ? bill : all right , look , i can see why you would misinterpret this loser being here . and why are you here ? oh , the convict 's looking for money . my son says `` i do `` to your daughter , and you 're looking to get paid . deacon : ( chuckles ) that 's completely ... bill : well , i 'm not giving you anything , pal . you want money ? go see brooke . katie : do n't even bother playing along . i 'm sure he 's already given you plenty of money . the question is , why ? what did my husband ask you to do ? [ scene_break ] liam : i knew you loved me . hope : always . liam : so why did you say that you did n't ? hope : because i needed to make you stop . i need you to stop trying to make us happen . liam : i guess i 'll never understand that if we love each other . hope : no , liam , it does n't matter how much we love each other , because you will never be able to give me your whole heart . liam : i can , and i did . hope : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : so that 's where thorne disappeared , huh ? taylor : yeah . steffy : should 've known . taylor : he was just being sweet , missing his brother 's wedding like that . then again , ridge may have sent him over there make sure i was n't saddling up a horse . steffy : oh , yeah ? i think that would be awesome . next time . taylor : next time ? steffy : yeah . taylor : is n't this the last time ? steffy : dad and brooke ? taylor : ( sighs ) so tell me about the big , glorious event . steffy : um , cake , tears , vows -- whatever . taylor : so , uh , i think you were pretty wonderful , being there for your father . steffy : thanks . i think so , too . taylor : was liam there ? steffy : uh , yeah . taylor : was he there as your date ? steffy : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] hope : maybe if you had been honest with me . liam : yeah , yeah . i was wrong not to tell you what happened with steffy in italy ... hope : ( sighs ) liam : and even what went down with your father does n't excuse it . but every time i have n't been honest with you , it 's because i did n't want to hurt you . hope : ( scoffs ) no , liam . it 's because you do n't want to get caught . no , if this was about not hurting me , then you never would have made out with steffy in the first place . it 's as easy as that . and not telling me the whole truth is the exact same thing as lying -- maybe not to a spencer ... liam : okay , what is that ? hope : but ... liam : `` not to a spencer `` ? hope : you are just so much more like your father now . [ scene_break ] deacon : first of all , you 're glowing . you look great . katie : cut the crap . what did you do to hope ? bill : he did n't do anything to hope . katie : i am asking him . deacon : um , nothing . i - i was just trying to reconnect with her . katie : and what does my husband have to do with this ? deacon : well , he -- he got -- he got me out of prison . katie : he did ? deacon : yeah . katie : how ? deacon : uh , b -- was it blackmail or -a bribe ? i -- it does n't matter . anyway , i had six years left of my sentence , right ? and who comes walking in to the prison but bill spencer ? the next thing i know ... ( italian accent ) i 'm a headed for italy , huh ? ( normal voice ) it was incredible . unbelievable , right ? and my job , all i had to was keep hope from her wedding , you know ? i mean , look , i did n't really want to do it , right ? but it was my freedom . and all i had to do was postpone her wedding , so i - i did n't really think it was that big a deal . besides that , i - i did n't know about the letter until today . [ scene_break ] steffy : i do n't want you to worry about liam and me , what we 're calling ourselves , whether we 're friends or we 're dating . taylor : well , i 'll do more than worry if i start to think he 's using you . steffy : oh , he 's not . taylor : you 're always there for him , steffy , day or night . steffy : and he would be , too , if the situation were reversed . yeah , he is going through a difficult time , but i 'm gon na be his friend , and i 'm gon na give him love and support . and i 'm just gon na be there for him . i think i 'll be fine with whatever happens next .

( scoffs ) like on our wedding day . liam : what did he want ? hope : he heard about us . he wanted to check up on me . he said he blames himself for what happened . well , he thinks if he had n't shown up , then we 'd be married right now . liam : well , the man 's not wrong . we would be . we 'd be happy . hope : would we ? or would you still be having your fantasies about steffy ? you know , not sure if you made the right choice about steffy . because you clearly were n't sure the night before our wedding . liam : that 's not true . i knew exactly who i wanted and could n't have : you . [ scene_break ] katie : all these years and you had no contact with hope . deacon : wait a minute , that 's not exactly true . i tried while i was still living in l.a , but the funniest thing -- your sister did not exactly encourage my involvement . katie : what kind of man does something like this to his own daughter ? brooke was right to keep you away from hope . deacon : i know who i am . i got no delusions about there being any good in me , but i tell ya something . i have good kids . i have a good daughter . i 'm proud of hope and the sensitive , articulate woman that she is . and i knew that if i stuck around , somehow i would do something to poison that , so you know what ? i 'm glad i left . katie : so now what ? she 's an adult , so you do n't feel bad messing her up ? deacon : gee , i do n't know , katie . um , a choice between , gosh , six more years in prison , or seeing my daughter ? i 'm sure that does n't make any sense to you . katie : none of this does . deacon : katie , i saw her press conference on the internet . all i saw was my child is miserable , and i just , i -- thought , maybe , i -- i do n't know . katie : what -- what , you -- you could finally act like a father ? deacon : is that so wrong ? yeah , i just -- i thought that maybe , finally , i could do something worthwhile . katie : you 've only done that once , when you walked away . do it again . deacon : what ? katie : go . walk way and do n't come back . be the kind of father you were meant to be . bill : you heard the lady , snitch . she 's gotten everything she needs from you , now get the hell out . out ! are you able to listen , or are you walking out , too ? [ scene_break ] taylor : i am very proud of you , steffy . you know , liam needs to realize that his life would be so much better with you in it . you have so much strength , and you 're so grown up , and you 're mature . the thing is , it 's very unlikely for a person to change after having a heart being so divided for so long . steffy : yeah , but there 's been a change in liam after hope told him it was over . he 's just been really different . he 's been ... colder and -- and it 's all about his business . taylor : cold and businesslike ? that sounds like his father bill , not liam . ( laughs ) steffy : ( chuckles ) i 'm not too worried about it . it 's probably just a reaction to everything that 's happening . but hey , you know , whatever it takes to get you back on your feet . i just hope he goes back to the old liam . taylor : and then he 'll come back to his old wife . [ scene_break ] hope : i told him not to blame himself . i mean , that note changed a lot , but ... it took a lot more than a couple words from him to get us to where we are now . liam : yeah , well , i 'm glad he came back . i know how much he means to you . hope : i hope he 'll stay awhile . uh , i think he feels safe seeing me because my mom 's out of town . liam : well , you know , maybe brooke can learn to accept him if he loves you and wants to be a father to you , show you that he intends to do good . hope : he 's doing that . it 's all i ever wanted : to know my real father . i just never thought that it would cost me you .

[ scene_break ] katie : the lengths you would go to . this -- this twisted vision you have of what it means to be a father . bill : i will do anything for my family , and that 's a good thing . katie : you know what the worst part is ? is that everything you 've done is for nothing because liam will hate you when he finds out . bill : that was a chance i was willing to take . i did what i had to do , and i will protect our son the same way . katie : you mean you will control him . you will make him do what you want him to do . well , i wo n't let you , bill . for as long as i 'm able , i wo n't let you . bill : you will feel differently when you are actually holding him in your arms . you ca n't know that yet -- the need to protect your child . katie : you have no idea what i 'm feeling . what do you think i 've been doing for all of these months ? feeling him grown and movie . i have been protecting him from day one , and i will continue to protect him from harm comes his way , even if it comes from his own father . bill : will you stop talking like that ? katie : i ca n't believe that i would have a baby with a man who would put his family in this kind of position , that you would risk our entire future just so you can be right . i do n't even know who you are . bill : i 'm the same man you married . katie : ( breathing heavily ) bill : all right , now you 've got ta calm down . katie : ( laughs ) i should calm down ? wait till you see how liam reacts . bill : liam does n't have to know about this . no one has to know katie : the truth comes out , bill . it always does . bill : wh -- what -- what are saying , katie ? what , you want me locked up ? is that how you 're going to- to protect your son from me ? you want to see me in jail ? katie : it does n't matter what i want . this is the position that you have put us in . you did this . you opened this door . you 've been trying to teach liam how to be a man . well , he is gon na see exactly what kind of man you are -- ( groans ) everyone is gon na see what kind of father you are -- ( groans ) bill : katie . katie : oh ! bill : katie ? katie : oh , god . bill : katie , what 's wrong ? katie : ( groaning ) bill : katie . katie ! katie : oh , my god , no . ( breathing heavily ) bill -- bill , no . | katie barks at bill and he tells her not to jump to conclusions about this convict that is trying to extort money out of him . she questions deacon of how he got out of prison so soon and why he was in italy and what did bill have to do with it . he quickly explains to her that bill spencer showed up at prison and suddenly deacon 's on his way to italy . and he knew nothing about this supposed letter he wrote until today . he saw hope 's press conference and saw she was miserable and suddenly he thought he could do something worthwhile . katie says well he should have stayed away just the way he did for twenty years . nothing good can come of his returning now that hope is an adult . she demands that he leave ; bill backs that up . he then wonders if katie is going to leave too . liam tells hope that he knew that she still loved him . she says it does n't matter how much they love each other because he ca n't give her his whole heart . in his defense all he could say was that all the times with steffy and he did n't tell her was because he did n't want to hurt her . she can understand him wanting to please his father . her own father showed up today to check up on her . he blames himself on what happened . he thinks if he had not shown up , they would be married right now . taylor asks steffy about the big glorious event with ridge 's wedding . she wants to know if liam was her date . steffy tells her mom not to get hung up on the words that describe her and liam , whether friends or dates . she will always be there for him . steffy tells taylor that liam has changed some . she 's not really worried about it , but he 's colder now , more business like his father . |

eric : no . why ? i like it up here . i like it up here . quinn : i do , too , but we are in the minority . eric : and the majority being ? quinn : do you want me to make you a list ? your entire family and my entire family , which is just one person . eric : that 's their problem , not ours . quinn : okay . so , you 're saying when it comes down to it , you 're gon na write off your entire family to have a lifelong romp in the hay with me ? eric : it seems like a fair trade to me . quinn : oh , eric . you 're joking . of course . honey , i want to have a life with you , but it has to include your family , because that is who you are . eric : my family will come around . they 'll come around when they see how much you mean to me . now let 's stop worrying about something that 's gon na resolve itself , because we have a wedding to plan ! come on ! steffy : r.j. , you just got back into town . we ca n't expect you to understand . r.j. : understand what ? dad , if i did n't get through to mom , you have to . ridge : son ... i do n't want her marrying that guy any more than you do . r.j. : then do something about it . ridge : it 's not that simple . r.j. : nothing ever is around here . but i do n't care about the other stuff going on , okay ? i 'm concerned for mom . she should n't be marrying a guy like bill spencer . bill : we 'll be all over r.j. -- when we get back . brooke , come on . he 'll adjust . kids always do . brooke : he 's had to adjust to so much in his life . bill : and look at him ! i mean , he 's strong and he 's resilient . i really admired the way he stood up to me . brooke : i love you , bill . i do . and i want to marry you sooner rather than later . but first and foremost , i am a mother , and my son is confused right now . i need to be there for him . i ca n't just run off . please tell me you understand . bill : [ sighs ] brooke : so , you get it , right ? we just wait a little bit . bill : i feel like i 've been waiting for you all my life . brooke : well , then , a little bit longer should n't matter . bill : a little can turn in to a lot pretty quickly . brooke : no , it wo n't -- not this time . bill : your son really does n't like me , brooke . brooke : he does n't know you . bill : well , i do n't know what , uh , he 's heard from his father . brooke : he 's an independent thinker . we brought him up that way . bill : yeah . well , he 's , uh -- you know , he 's quite a kid . the way he came at me -- he definitely has some ... bulldog in him . brooke : someday you 'll brag that he takes after his stepdad . bill : oh , you think so , huh ? brooke : so , we 're good not getting married right away ? bill : define `` right away . `` brooke : it 'll be soon . i do n't want to drag this out any more than you do . bill : yeah . well , i 'm sure ridge does n't , either . he 's gon na be very disappointed , not getting his sweaty palms on my 12.5 % of forrester . brooke : [ sighs ] well , this is n't about ridge . this is n't about forrester . this is about us and our future together . my life with you -- i want that . but i want r.j. to be a part of it , too . bill : then we wait . brooke : thank you . bill : but not for long . i need you . i need you with me . and i have for a long time . brooke : i 'd better get back . bill : well , tell r.j. that i 'll , uh , meet him in the gym sometime -- throw the gloves on , go a few rounds . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill . bill : [ chuckles ] steffy : this could be a real problem . thomas : not necessarily . steffy : r.j. comes home from school and he then tells his mom to basically not marry bill ? how do you think brooke feels about that ? thomas : dad will calm him down . steffy : i do n't know . it feels like dad 's wavering . we need those shares , and to get them , brooke needs to marry bill , and that needs to happen as soon as possible , before granddad gets any more infatuated with quinn . eric : so , you 're okay with the venue , right ? quinn : really ? to be married here , in your home ? eric : surrounded by family . quinn : hopefully , yes . eric : they would n't miss it . come on . they 'll all be here . quinn : all right . well ... there 's ridge , thomas , steffy , and wyatt . eric : and do n't worry . it 's gon na be fabulous . quinn : oh , you sound so sure about that . eric : i 'm marrying you . it 's the last wedding in my life . quinn : oh , no . i do n't like the sound of that . eric : why not ? quinn : well , it 's -- i mean , it 's okay . it 's -- you know what i mean . eric : [ chuckling ] oh , my -- come on . you 're adding 30 years to my life . quinn : just 30 years ? eric : yes . quinn : fine . let 's get these invitations out . i can only imagine the responses they 're gon na get . eric : all right . come on . let 's get it over with . let 's get it over with , and let 's go and have some dinner . come on . quinn : yes , before the masses rally another intervention . eric : that 's not gon na happen . you 're gon na be mrs. eric forrester , and there 's nothing ridge or anybody else can do to prevent that . ridge : [ sighs ] r.j. : are you sending me back to boarding school ? ridge : do n't be ridiculous . r.j. : i know what i saw when i walked in here . ridge : your mom and i were discussing something . r.j. : [ chuckles ] discussion , huh ? ridge : and i was hugging her . what 's the big deal ? it was a hug . r.j. : well , there 's a difference between hugging and -- ridge : all right . hey . calm down . it 's okay . r.j. : you 're still in love with her . it 's obvious . ridge : i told you i 'll always be in love with your mother . r.j. : no , but you two are meant for each other . ridge : [ sighs ] you got to prepare yourself for the possibility that your mother 's gon na end up with bill spencer . r.j. : i j -- i do n't get it . how can you let this happen ? what 's going on ? brooke : [ gasps ] r.j. : mom . brooke : hi , honey ! i love walking in and seeing you here . r.j. : what happened ? please tell me you 're not going away to marry bill spencer . brooke : no . no , i 'm not . quinn : there . how 's that ? eric : `` quinn fuller and eric forrester request the honor of your presence at their wedding . `` you know , they 're lucky we 're inviting them at all . quinn : ha ! eric : can we spice this up a little ? uh ... `` hey , kids ! we 're done shacking up ! she 's not leaving ! we 're getting married ! `` put that there . put that there . quinn : no . maybe a little more civil than that . eric : why should it be civil ? they 're not being civil to us . quinn : are you angry with them ? eric : no . no , i 'm not angry . i just -- i get it . it 's just so -- quinn : disrespectful ? eric : yeah . to both of us . quinn : well ... respect is not something that i 'm used to , but you -- you must be respected ... by everyone , most especially your family , and that 's what really concerns me . eric : well , do n't let it . quinn : yeah , well ... eric : do n't let it . quinn : ... it does . it does . you -- you 're the king of this castle . you 're the patriarch of this family . you 're -- you 're responsible for everything , especially some of their lives , and this has to be the first time you 've been disrespected in your entire life , and why ? because of me . i never wanted that , eric . i - i - i - i only wanted to bring positive things into your life , not -- not family dysfunction . but you know what ? i 'm not gon na give up ... because i love you . i love you too much , and -- and i know what i bring into your life , and god knows what you bring into mine , and i think that the only solution to all of this is to get all of your children and your grandchildren and my son to realize this is not a manipulation from me -- this is real -- and that i would never , ever do anything to hurt you . i need you to talk to them , eric . please ? all those beautiful things that you say to me -- you need to say it to them . you 've got to get them to understand that i am not the enemy ... and that we all want the same thing -- for you to be happy . i 'm sorry . i - i - i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to go on and on like this . it 's just -- it just means a lot to me . eric : never apologize to me for expressing your feelings . quinn , i promise you -- i promise you , for as long as i live , as long as i 'm breathing and smiling ... that my family 's gon na understand it 's all because of you . they 're stubborn . they 're not stupid . and when they 're here , when they come to this wedding , they 're gon na witness how much you mean to me and how much my life has changed because of you , and it 'll all -- it 'll all resolve itself beautifully . quinn : even with steffy ? eric : even steffy . steffy : i will never understand what granddad sees in that woman . thomas : she does seem to make him happy . steffy : thomas , quinn ca n't be trusted . everyone knows that . we 've got to protect granddad . he spent his whole life building this company . but we just -- we got to secure those shares . thomas : and , hopefully , brooke is flying off with bill to get married as we speak . steffy : [ sighs ] r.j. : thank you for listening to me . brooke : we always listen to you , honey . r.j. : i knew you would come through . it 's no secret i wanted you two to be together , and when i came back home , saw you two hugging it out ... brooke : r.j ... r.j. : what ? you 're the ones who always talk about destiny -- how you were meant to be together , how you did n't run off with spencer . and dad and caroline are over . i mean ... you guys are both free and available . connect the dots . brooke : i did what you asked . i did n't run off today with bill to get married . but we are gon na get married -- sooner rather than later . r.j. : wait . mom -- ridge : no , you wait , son . you did n't come back here to get caught up in all this drama . you came here to spend time with your friends and with your family , and that 's exactly what you 're gon na do . and -- and , sure , we 'll -- we 'll spend time together . brooke : that 's right . [ chuckles ] yes . we will . we have you here , and we 'll all be together . we are reunited , and that means more to me than anything . r.j. : okay . steffy : we should check in with dad -- see if he heard anything from brooke . i 'm hoping that he was able to get through to r.j . thomas : let me see if he 's still here . steffy : okay . thomas : hey , r.j. , come here . i want to talk to you for a second . r.j. : hey . steffy : hey . have you heard anything from your mom ? thomas : yeah . did she and bill take off yet ? r.j. : uh , actually , we just talked . she is not marrying him . steffy : what ? ! r.j. : [ scoffs ] i do n't get you guys . i mean , am i the only one who sees how much of a train wreck this would be ? i mean , i know she 's not your mom , but come on . bill spencer ? would you wish that on your worst enemy ? steffy : r.j. , there is a lot at stake . r.j. : i had to tell her how i felt , all right ? but we 'll see . uh , she has n't broken it off completely . steffy : what do you mean ? r.j. : well , she said she would hold the wedding off for the moment but ... they 'll get married soon . steffy : r.j ... we 're family . r.j. : [ scoffs ] steffy : okay ? now we need to trust each other . i totally get where you 're coming from . i - i know how you feel about brooke and bill , but that 's her choice . there 's a lot riding on this -- more than you know . r.j. : all right . just tell me . steffy : no , i -- [ sighs ] not yet . trust me . r.j. : [ scoffs ] steffy : thomas and dad and even your mom -- we know what we 're doing . you ca n't get in the middle . the future of our company and the family is at stake . quinn : okay . that 's it . eric : beautiful invitation for a beautiful event . quinn : you sure about this ? it 's your last chance to pull out . eric : send it . quinn : oooh ! i feel like the earth is about to shake ! eric : it 's been doing that since the first time i kissed you . quinn : [ breathes deeply ] uhh . brooke : [ sighs ] i could n't do it . i ... could n't run off and marry bill . ridge : well , i 'm glad you did n't ... for our son 's sake . brooke : right . ridge : of course . yeah . brooke : for our son . i needed him to know that i do listen to him , that i hear what he has to say . ridge : you always listened . you were a good mother . you are a good mother , and you were -- you were a good wife . brooke : but i am going to marry bill . and then i get the shares and give them to you , and you can get quinn out of the office . ridge : well , let 's just see what happens , logan . let 's just -- let 's just see what happens , brooke . we have plenty of time , so ... brooke : well , there 's no reason to drag our feet , right ? [ cell phone chimes ] ridge : ah . brooke : what ? ridge : uh ... it 's an invitation from my dad and from quinn . `` we request the honor of your presence `` at their wedding , two days from now . brooke : what ? oh , my god ! ridge : he 's gon na do it . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : they 're getting married . he 's gon na marry that woman . | brooke discusses with bill that rj is older than his years , always has been . bill says they need to do this ; rj will eventually come around . kids adjust ; they always do . she says she loves bill and wants to marry him but first and foremost she is a mother and she needs to be sure that rj is okay with this and she hopes bill will understand . rj does not know bill so he needs to do that first . so they will be good and just wait a little longer . bill says he feels like he has been waiting for her all his life . she says that she wants a life with bill but she wants rj to be a part of that too . bill remarks that he will wait a little while . rj tells the group that he can not see any reason why ridge would want brooke to marry bill . eric tells quinn that this is their time . he does n't care what steffy and the others want ; they need to go make this official . she says they are in the minority so they better get their feet back on the ground . he would give up his family to have a lifetime romp in the hay with her . he says this will eventually resolve itself so they have a wedding to plan . steffy is worried . they need those shares from bill and it looks like ridge might be wavering now . eric convinces quinn that despite their feelings his children will be there . it will be the last marriage in his life . she starts making the invitations on the computer . again she says she is sorry that she brought turmoil into his life . but this is real and she would never do anything to hurt him . she tries to convince eric to talk to his kids again and say the nice things that he says to her . he promises her that as long as he is breathing and smiling that they will see that when they come to this wedding and it will all be resolved . |
liam : so , i may have gone a little heavy last night . steffy : as did i . liam : well , hey , at least we know what not to talk about . or whom . steffy : your father 's an important person in your life , liam . liam : yes , he was . steffy : look , i 'm just concerned about you , okay ? liam : steffy , i do n't want -- i do n't -- i do n't want to hear it . i do n't like what i 'm doing to my father , but there is no compromising here . if i let him in a crack , he takes over . he 's an all - or - nothing kind of guy . i think i know that by now . [ cellphone chimes ] [ dialing ] [ cellphone ringing ] [ cellphone beeps ] katie : that 's the gardener . wyatt : right , but -- but do they ever , like , come in unannounced ? katie : no , of course not . they 're the gardeners . [ laughs ] it 's not the housekeeper . wyatt : that 's -- wait . where is she ? is she here ? katie : oh , my god . no . no . it is her day off . [ lawnmower running ] you are paranoid ! wyatt : i 'm just -- okay , with everything that 's going on at spencer right now , the last thing i need is dad finding out about us , okay ? katie : i do n't disagree . but maybe it would be good if something , you know , shook him up a little bit . wyatt : yes , just not this . katie : mm . wyatt : okay ? [ scoffs ] leaving the company and -- and putting liam in charge ... there 's something going on here . there has to be . and i 'm guessing that it involves more than just liam and dad . [ saws whirring , hammers pounding ] sally : [ sighs ] okay ... shirley : no ! sally : the collection ! shirley : no , no , no ! [ all shouting ] shirley : progress ! i am seeing progress , kids ! [ giggles ] darlita : so , i accessorized with my tool belt . saul : oh . [ chuckles ] coco : i still ca n't believe how you pulled this off . shirley : oh ! it was thomas . i just knew that he -- sally : no , i told you , grams . thomas is not coming back . saul : i think i know . saul : the great and infamous aunt sally . is that right ? sally : aunt sally is on her island playing with the boys . plus , she and c.j . needed the sale money to pay off other debts . coco : she 's gon na be so thrilled about this . i 'm so proud of you , sis ! excuse me , ma'am . just wanted to let you know it 's gon na get pretty loud and pretty dusty in here . sally : thank you . saul : uh , you guys are using the metal - clad cabling throughout , is that right ? that 's what they have wired in here . saul : okay , well , it 's got to be through the whole building . we need the best wiring available ! okay ? ! sally : hey . hey , hey ! saul : i 'm not -- i 'm -- sally : it 's okay . it 's okay , okay ? we 're redoing everything from the studs out . we 're just focusing on this office right now , and then we 're gon na get to the rest of the building , all right ? we just need someplace to work . saul : no , no . what we need are designs . sally : there 's our saul . coco : rehabbing the entire building and putting your staff on retainer ? sally : i mean ... they deserve stability . we all suffered from that fire . shirley : well , that 's , uh , very noble of you , miss generosity , but how are you able to afford all this ? sally : let 's just say that i have a new business partner . someone who has become very near and dear to me . that 's all i 'm gon na say . liam : just keep it really simple , jarrett . like my dad took a leave of absence , and he left me in charge . jarrett : no details , no comment . liam : yeah . just ... straight up and down . and , alison ... can we -- can we get rid of this ? alison : what do you want me to do with it ? liam : [ scoffs ] i do n't know . send it to my dad 's place ? we certainly do n't need it here anymore . bill : they were having a meeting ? justin : liam , alison , and jarrett . bill : you were n't invited . justin : well , i 'm scheduled to have a meeting with wyatt to go over the books . bill : i want a full report on that one . justin : oh , you 'll have it . i got your back , dollar bill . bill : i 'm glad someone does . brooke left me . brooke : [ sighs ] so , you know everything that happened ? steffy : yeah . the fire at spectra , bill 's involvement . his confrontation with liam . brooke : `` confrontation `` ? bill punched him right in the face ! steffy : i do n't condone any of it . brooke : so why are you here , steffy ? steffy : bill loves you . do n't leave him . katie : well , you probably could use something stronger , but there you go . wyatt : oh , well , you know ... i have something stronger . [ katie giggles ] [ laughs ] you know , i do n't know where i would be right now if i did n't have you . oh , yes , i do . probably pulling my hair out . katie : well , let 's not get carried away . wyatt : yeah , but i 'm -- i 'm even more calm when dealing with my brother . well , moderately calm . the new liam spencer is really , uh , pissing me off lately . katie : he 's really changed that much ? wyatt : yeah . mr. big shot . apparently i have to have an appointment now to even see him . katie : [ scoffs ] that 's totally insane . wyatt : i know . like , what happened ? i do n't get it . i - i woke up , and everything is just upside down now . my dad 's awol , my nonprofit brother is running the company into the ground , and now i have to answer to him . katie : okay , clearly there is something going on with bill , and there 's a reason for it , and we will figure it out . together . okay ? justin : you told brooke about the fire ? bill : we do n't keep secrets . justin : 'cause she 's your wife . bill : for now she is . steffy : i am trying to keep this family together . brooke : [ sighs ] bill committed a serious crime . lives are ruined because of my husband . and i would n't be surprised if there 's more i do n't even know . steffy : you 're not gon na solve anything by leaving bill . he 's already handling so much . he 's lost his son . he 's lost his company . and now you ? brooke : i 'm just a little surprised that you are defending bill and not liam . steffy : i want to support my husband . but bill ... he sees what liam did as blackmail . and i ca n't disagree . changes ? liam : yes . that 's why i called you here , actually . i want you to get a memo out . what kind of changes ? liam : benefits , for starters . i 'm updating our healthcare plan , including -- alison , would you ... ? effectively immediately , maternity and paternity leave will be expanded to six months . oh , mr . spencer , i ca n't afford that . liam : no , no , no . paid . paid maternity leave . you 'll receive your entire salary the whole time , including medical costs . thank you . thank you ! liam : george , uh , you are up for retirement next month . is that -- is that what you want ? george : no , sir . but spencer publications has a strict policy on retirement age . liam : yeah , well , that 's just bad business . i 'm not losing my most experienced employees just because of their age . you knowledge and history at this company is invaluable to me , and i 'd like you to stay as long as you want to stay . george : [ sighs ] thank you , sir ! liam : of course . art . so , you have a daughter , sarah , who 's a senior now , right ? so she 's go to be thinking about college ? art : she applied , got early acceptance , but ... you know how that goes . liam : ah , for a lot of families , tuition is a deal - breaker . which is why i 'm offering 10 $ 100,000 grants to the employees whose kids meet the requirements . now , sarah has exemplary grades , behavior . she 's got community service under her belt . i mean , she 's -- she 's perfect . she 's our first recipient . jarrett : congratulations . liam : spencer publications is a company , but it 's also a family . and as long as you 're all working here , i want you to feel that way . that 's all for now . george : thank you , sir . liam : you got it . sally ! sally : wait , was that for real ? liam : [ chuckles ] you have no idea how long i 've wanted to do that . sally : you are incredible . liam : yeah , well , my dad sets the bar pretty low for incredible . sally : here . it 's a gift for you , the man who makes everyone 's dreams come true . liam : what ? sally : yes . it 's my first sketch since the fire . you have breathed new life into spectra , into me , and i -- i really do n't know how to thank you . katie : so , off to work ? wyatt : something like that . katie : you seem like a man with a plan . wyatt : i am a man who wants answers . my dad spent his entire life building that company , and there 's a reason why he gave it to liam . and i 'm gon na find out why . justin : things will work out . bill : you have a crystal ball i do n't know about ? justin : they 'll work out . they always do for you . bill : yeah , well , that 's what i told myself when i took drastic measures with spectra . i underestimated liam . justin : he 's got a lot of you in him . bill : yeah , well , not nearly enough . he 's gon na run my company into the ground . i mean , if anybody is suited to run spencer in my absence , it 's wyatt . that poor kid 's going through hell right now . justin : well , he 'll get through it . bill : i wish i could say the same for my wife . justin : she 'll be back . she knows who she married . bill : a criminal , as far as she 's concerned at the moment . as i told steffy , i would give 10 skyscrapers to get brooke back . and that might not be enough . brooke : liam feels as i do . that his father 's completely out of control . and he probably has been more than i care to imagine . steffy : you married him . you knew what you were in for . brooke : not this ! steffy : what , because you do n't love him anymore ? brooke : oh , steffy . steffy : i do n't believe that . brooke : this has nothing to do with love . it 's odd , but i thought you would be pushing for your father and me to get back together . steffy : is that a possibility ? i guess if that 's your decision . me , i 'm fighting for my family . bill and liam are on the verge of a war . and i intend to prevent it . liam : well , it seems you 're recovering , like i knew you would . sally : you and just about nobody else . liam : not true . jarrett thought the designs you lost in the fire were fantastic . and so is this . and so is everything else you come up with , i 'm sure . sally : well , it helps to have a silent partner who believes . liam : `` silent `` being the operative word there . sally : it 's our secret . but i really do appreciate what you 've done . you saved me . for no good reason except for the fact that you 're a good man . which i saw again today with your employees . i 've never met anyone like you . wyatt : sally . what 's this all about ? wyatt : you know , the last i heard ... i mean , you were leaving town . why -- why are -- why are you here ? liam : oh , uh , i can answer that question . none of your business . wyatt : [ chuckles ] come on , bro . it 's just a simple question . sally : liam was writing a piece on me and my company before the fire , and i was just here to thank him . wyatt : oh , thank him . sally : yes , for attempting to give spectra a fair shake with that feature , even though it was n't published . yet . liam : yes . well ... there you go . we are in the middle of a meeting , wyatt , so if you want to come back later , that 'd be great . wyatt : okay . uh , i know you think you 're riding high right now , but it 's not gon na be for long . dad would never do this to me , or to this company . and i do n't know what the hell 's going on here , but i damn well intend to find out . your bleeding heart in your hands it 's been there a while , you 're just now noticin ' i wish i could help you oooh , ooh the way that you want me to we all have our own bleeding heart we all have our own bleeding heart all have our own brooke : when do i stand up and say enough is enough ? ! damn it ! god ! bill : do n't do this . brooke , do n't go ! brooke ! bleeding heart ah , ah we all have our own bleeding heart [ brooke sobs ] sally : you thought i was gon na blow it , did n't you ? liam : uh ... sally : believe me , i was tempted . it was really hard to watch my secret benefactor treated that way . liam : well , i 'll handle wyatt . you handle spectra . and it looks like you 're doing just that . sally : i will pay you back every penny . that is my driving force . liam : i told you , that 's not necessary . sally : who are you ? i have never met anybody like you , just so generous just because . i was at the end . all of my dreams were dashed . and you restored faith in spectra and in myself . i really do n't know how i could ever thank you . no sketch or money will truly ever be enough . | steffy tries to tell liam that his father is an important person in his life , do not shut him out . liam does n't want to hear it . he says there is no compromise . he should know that by now that bill is an all or nothing kind of guy . wyatt freaks when he thinks someone is going to catch him with katie at her house . it 's the gardener , not the housekeeper so she tells him to chill out . he says with all that is happening at spencer 's right now the last thing he wants his dad to find out is about them . then he gets right back to kissing her . he says she calms him but it is his brother who is setting him off and he has to make an appointment to even see him . he will run the company in the ground yet he has to answer to him . sally and her crew are looking over everything when the carpenters and painters come in . grams says this is all fine , miss generosity , but how is she affording all of this . she simply says she has a new partner . liam tells alison to send the sky to his dad 's place ; they do not need it here anymore . bill confides in justin that brooke left him and is not picking up on his calls . he tells justin that he told her about the fire since they do not keep secrets . justin says things will work out ; they always do . brooke knows what kind of man he is . bill just hopes his son does n't run the company into the ground . |
bill : do yourself a favor , forrester . stay out of this . it 's got nothing to do with you . ridge : will is family . i 'm gon na protect that little boy . bill : will is my son , and this is none of your business . now , i know you 're all giddy thinking i 'm gon na fall , but let me tell you something . there is no way i 'm gon na lose custody of my son . certainly not to that gutless brother of yours . thorne : hey . katie : hey . thorne : what 's wrong ? katie : um ... brooke is still defending bill . thorne : really ? [ scoffs ] i do n't understand that . why would she go to bat for him ? katie : well , she thinks that things should just stay the same . but they can't . the situation has to change . we need more structure . thorne : you 're not having second thoughts about going for full custody , are you ? katie : no , but i -- i do n't want to cut bill out of will 's life , but i -- i hate that my son is being drawn into this . i mean , he 's gon na have to see a custody evaluator . he 's already witnessing our hushed conversations . thorne : katie . katie . he is why we are doing this , okay ? it 's best for will in the long run . liam : you know , i was supposed to have a meeting with hope in here , but apparently she 's too busy for her leech of a husband . can you believe that ? wyatt : heh . yeah . it appears my girlfriend has better things to do , too , so ... liam : so i 'm stuck with you , is what you 're saying . wyatt : yeah . liam : ugh ! wyatt : [ laughs ] all right . so , come on . fill me in . what 's been happening ? how 's dad life ? how 's the baby ? or babies , should i say ? liam : yeah , right ? uh ... it 's good , man . it 's good . like , um , kelly 's incredible , obviously . um , hope 's pregnancy is going really well . i have nothing to complain about . wyatt : good , man . good . i 'm glad to hear it . um ... have you , uh ... have you talked to dad lately ? liam : [ scoffs ] no . wyatt : but , i mean , you do know about the whole custody battle with katie and will , right ? liam : yeah , i , uh -- i know about it . i kind of got subpoenaed to testify for katie . wyatt : oh ! [ chuckles ] liam : what ? what ? wyatt : i kind of got subpoenaed to testify for dad . wyatt : i mean , i just -- i - i ca n't believe katie 's actually going through with this . liam : yeah , well , it must have just , like , compounded over time , you know ? one long , painful string of father failures . wyatt : yeah , but , i mean , it 's just -- it 's just too bad they ca n't come to some kind of an arrangement , you know ? like , instead of court . liam : yeah , but think about it . have you -- have you ever known dad to compromise on anything ? wyatt : fair point . liam : katie 's will 's mom . you know , she 's -- she 's gon na do whatever it takes to protect will . including from dad . thorne : you know brooke . she has a big heart , and she feels sorry for bill . do n't let her get to you . okay ? [ knock on door ] carter : hey . katie : hey . thorne : hey , carter . carter : i 'm glad you 're both here . thorne : any news ? carter : well , first i want to say congratulations on the engagement . katie : [ giggles ] thorne : thank you . katie : thank you . we 're very excited about it . carter : i bet . and good timing , too . i just got this from the family court . a date has been set for the custody hearing , and a judge has been assigned . we 're ready to go . bill : thorne is a spineless weasel , sending his big brother to fight his battles for him . ridge : my brother did n't send me . bill : well , give him a message for me . in fact , give it to katie , as well , and make sure it 's loud and clear -- i will not bow down to their demands . there is no way i 'm gon na let my son be raised by that second - rate wannabe . i will fight to the death to keep custody of will . that 's a promise . they will never win . there 's nothing they can do to stop me . liam : listen , it 's the luck of the draw . our father is bill spencer . wyatt : yeah . liam : and that 's just ... never gon na change . deeply flawed man who 's just done so many morally reprehensible things . and i 'm not -- you know , i 'm not ... i 'm not a saint . right ? i 've -- i 've hurt people , too . wyatt : yeah , but not on dad 's level . liam : mm , hurting people is hurting people . wyatt : come on ! what -- whatever you 've done pales in comparison to what he 's done . liam : [ chuckles ] i mean , it 's true . i never slept with my son 's wife or ... wyatt : mnh - mnh . liam : ... had somebody thrown out of a helicopter . wyatt : mm - hmm . liam : hey , remember when he almost killed me ? that was fun . wyatt : oh , yeah , but that was an accident , right ? i mean , he did n't blow up the building until he was like 70 % or 80 % sure that you had already left . liam : no , that 's fair . wyatt : yeah , it is . liam : yeah , that 's fair . wyatt : yeah . look , dad has issues . big ones , all right ? and he 's got a lot of room for improvement . liam : what -- that does n't mean anything . like , is he capable of change ? i do n't know . 'cause this -- this keeps happening to us , right , where we decide to put our faith in him , we decide to trust that , this time , it 's gon na be different , and we just get disappointed again , over and over and over again . wyatt : yeah , i 've lost count on how many times that 's happened . liam : [ sighs ] wyatt : it 's a real pattern with him . liam : i 'll admit one thing . wyatt : hmm ? liam : just one . wyatt : what ? liam : and that is that dad loves will . bill : ridge came here to gloat . justin : well , you ca n't be too surprised . that man likes to puff out his feathers as much as you do . bill : yeah , well , take a look around . mine are legit . i 've got nothing in common with that glorified tailor . justin : same taste in women . only he 's married to her and you 're not . bill : i will never understand what brooke sees in that guy . nothing but a pot- stirrer . he 's worse than his sniveling little brother . justin : yeah , well , that little brother 's about to be your kid 's step - daddy . bill : come on . you 're gon na make me puke . justin : hey . bill : now that they 're engaged , ridge thinks it 's a slam dunk they 're gon na get full custody of will . [ cellphone chimes ] justin : it definitely does n't hurt their case . bill : yeah , well , we ca n't let that happen . we have to do everything we can , justin . we got to start doing some digging . find an angle that works for us . justin : whatever we 're gon na do , we need to do it quick . bill : what do you mean ? justin : i just got word the hearing date 's been set . bill : for when ? justin : next week . [ sighs ] bill : next week ? ! justin : yeah . family court 's a whole different beast . bill : damn it , justin , that -- that gives us , like , no time ! justin : a few days , tops . they 've already assigned the judge . bill : you have his name ? justin : well , yeah . but we do n't know him . bill : yeah ? well , i better get to know him . thorne : so the judge is a decent guy ? what do we know about him ? carter : he has a reputation of being very fair . he 's well - respected in the legal community . katie : have you , uh , worked with him before ? carter : i 've tried a few cases in his court . katie : [ sighs ] ridge : that guy 's such a bastard . thorne : who ? ridge : who do you think ? carter : you went to see bill ? ridge : yeah . katie : ridge ! ridge : he 's gon na do whatever he needs to do . he 's not gon na lose custody of will . those are his words . thorne : bill always makes threats . ridge : well , we got to listen to them . we ca n't ignore them . we ca n't trust him . katie : no . that 's why i 'm going for full custody . carter : the hearing 's next week . ridge : since when ? katie : carter just found out today . carter : and i got the judge 's name , too . judge craig mcmullen . thorne : well , this does n't give us a lot of time to prepare . carter : i 'm not worried . we 've got almost everything lined up . thorne : carter , just remember we 're up against bill spencer . bill : you know how he is . he fights dirty . got to keep that in mind . katie : ridge is right . he does , and we have to be ready for whatever he throws at us . but we 're just gon na tell the truth , and hopefully the facts will speak for themselves . and the fact is , bill has been an absentee father ... thorne : exactly . katie : ... and that has damaged my son . ridge : hey , hey . take a breath . it 's gon na be okay . we 're behind you . we 're all behind you . 100 % . okay ? thorne : yeah . we 're just trying to , uh , provide will with a stable environment , that 's all . ridge : that boy needs you . he 's gon na grow up , and he 's gon na be very happy . he 's a lucky kid . and i 'm gon na make sure he stays away from spencer . katie : okay . ridge : okay . katie : [ sighs ] oh , gosh . we 're doing this . liam : i mean , the thing about dad is , he just never learned how to love . wyatt : oh , yeah ? did your therapist tell you that ? liam : she did , yes . wyatt : she 's actually right . that was a pretty damn good assessment . liam : [ snorts ] if you just -- i mean , i - if you listen to him talk , if you listen to the stories dad tells about his own father , i mean , apparently the guy was a tyrant , you know ? he -- he never showed him an ounce of affection . he was always hard on him . wyatt : yeah . and if you think about that , he never really had the time to learn how to be a dad . like , when he met us , we were already adults . liam : you 're right . yeah . yeah . but -- and it 's tempting to want to make excuses for him . wyatt : i 'm not . i 'm not making excuses for him . i 'm just -- no . i 'm trying to put myself in his shoes , dude . like , losing will , too , on top of everything ? that 's got to be hard , man . liam : listen , i have plenty of friends who had deadbeat dads that grew up to be excellent fathers of their own . you just -- you actually have to want it . [ chuckles ] you know ? you have to put in the work . and -- and dad 's done neither . wyatt : i know . but , look , after all the mistakes he 's made in the past few months , past few years , he loves will . no one can contest that . liam : i 'm -- i 'm not . i 'm not . but that 's not enough . i mean , being a - a parent takes -- it takes patience and -- and compassion . it takes giving up your time and your freedom . wyatt : look , none of what you 're saying is wrong . but he pretty much lost you . i have n't really seen him since , you know ... i mean ... i do n't know . does he really deserve to lose will , too ? bill : we ca n't hold back here . we got to do something . put an end to this . justin : look , we can't . the hearing 's already been set . if you ignore the subpoena , if you do n't show up in court , katie automatically wins . bill : no , you 're not understanding me . we have to get creative . justin : if you 're sending me down the disbarment road again , forget about it . i like you , but i do n't like you that much . bill : oh , come on . you say that every time we get down like this . now look into the contacts , pull some favors , do some research . justin : `` research `` ? bill : research . we got to find a way to get to judge mcmullen . bill : you think you 're one step ahead of me , but you 're always three steps behind . [ helicopter blades whirring ] ridge : you 're not gon na hurt my daughter anymore . bill : steffy wanted it . she wanted me . i 'm gon na win . because i always win . and i have a little surprise for you and your milquetoast , mayonnaise brother . and there ai n't a damn thing you can do to stop it . [ door closes ] judge mcmullen : ridge . ridge : hey ! judge mcmullen : it 's so nice to see you . ridge : wow ! it 's been forever . judge mcmullen : yeah . ridge : good to see you , craig . wyatt : come on . like , a part of you has to agree here . you even said yourself , dad cares about will . there 's no doubt about that . but , more importantly , like , he 's will 's hero . he looks up to dad more than anybody else in this entire world . or at least he used to . liam : no , you 're right . wyatt : yeah , so , is -- is that fair to will , to take that away from him ? liam : i -- i mean ... he 's still gon na get to see him . wyatt : yeah . liam : although will 's not getting much from dad as it now , anyway . wyatt : yeah , but anything 's better than nothing . like , we had nothing . i mean , come on . liam : i do n't -- i do n't know . you know , a couple of days a month for a couple of hours a day , that -- that 's not fatherhood . that 's , like , a part - time buddy . do n't get me wrong . dad 's fun . he 'll take you places . wyatt : sure . liam : you know , on vacations and stuff . wyatt : yeah . liam : he 's the one with the helicopters and the boats and the jet planes . but what will actually needs , which is security and consistency and -- and -- wyatt : reliability . liam : ... reliability ... wyatt : yeah . liam : ... and devotion , i mean , these are the things that katie is actually giving him . wyatt : i know . liam : and i - i 'm sorry , but thorne 's doing a pretty damn good job of it , too . wyatt : no . no , thorne is not his father . he 's never gon na be his father . does n't matter how much -- how much time he spends with will , he is never gon na replace dad . that 's it . liam : well , maybe he should . wyatt : what ? ! liam : maybe less exposure to dad is exactly what will needs right now . katie : i have tried to -- to get you to spend time with will . how many times have i called you and -- and said , `` hey , can he come over ? `` how many times have i pleaded with you to put your obsession with steffy aside for five minutes so you could find time to spend with your child ? bill : you 've been staying with mommy a lot lately , will . tonight you 're gon na stay with me . will : do i have to ? katie : will needs stability and security , and he is not getting that from you . so i am re - establishing boundaries and taking charge . i 'm going after sole custody of our son . bill : that 's the worst decision you could make , katie . you want to go to war with me ? it 's a war you 're going to lose . bill : i do n't care what it takes , justin . we 're pulling out all the stops . justin : okay , look , i know how bad you want to keep your son , but you 've got to rein it in , okay ? look , keep a level head . bill : all i 'm asking is for you to put a few feelers out . what 's the big deal ? justin : you 're asking me to track down the judge that 's about to hear your custody case . now , i know we 've done a whole lot of things in regards to business before , but this ? if we get caught , we go to jail . do you want him to come visit you in prison ? bill : oh , come on . nobody 's going to prison . we 'll be smart like we always are . no paper trail . no digital trail . just do whatever you have to do . but we need something on that judge . justin : you have lost your damn mind . tampering with the judge is the last thing you need to be considering . you have enough strikes against you , bill . trying to influence the judge could be disastrous . ridge : so ... how 's the family ? judge mcmullen : julie and the kids are good . good . audrey just started sophomore year . ridge : i - i just -- i feel like i just saw her . she was a baby . how is that possible ? what about -- i 'm sorry , it 's , um -- it 's michael ?

family court ? judge mcmullen : yeah . ridge : you get to help families , kids . judge mcmullen : it 's extremely rewarding , it is . and i 'll never forget how i got here . i owe so much of my career to you and your generous support over the years . ridge : listen , you were always going places . i just ... wanted to be part of the journey , that 's all . judge mcmullen : [ sighs ] well , thank you , ridge . if you would n't have loaned me the money for law school , i do n't know where i 'd be today , honestly . if there 's ever any way that i can repay you , you just say the words . ridge : well , that 's funny . um ... okay . there is something you can do . for my family . for an innocent little boy . i know you were just assigned a case , a custody case . katie logan versus bill spencer . it would mean the world to me if full custody went to the mother . | bill stands before ridge and says do himself a favor and stay out of this . ridge says it is his family too and there is no way he is going to leave it to bill . katie reveals her doubts to thorne . not that she is regretting the court date but she is not looking forward to trying to take bill 's son away from him . liam and wyatt discuss things and liam says kelly is fine and hope 's pregnancy is going well so he has no complaints . but they both discover each have been subpoenaed to testify , liam for katie and wyatt for his dad . liam says katie has a big heart but she is going to do all she can to have full custody of will . liam laments that it is just the luck of the draw that bill spencer is their father . wyatt says he is not sure that he even can change . he keeps doing bad things over and over . liam says the only good thing he can say about him now is that he does love will . carter breaks in on thorne and katie and says he has a court date and the judge has been assigned so they are all ready to go . bill grouses to justin that they have to do everything they can , some angle to swing it to their favor . carter tells thorne that the judge is well respected in the community as being fair . ridge walks in and is told the case is on the docket and carter even mentions the judge 's name . ridge looks like he may have been given a gift . he tells thorne they both know that bill plays dirty so better keep that in mind . will is a lucky kid to be getting thorne as his stepfather . |

( elevator bell dings ) bill : hey , hey , a little help with the wheelchair . my wife 's having contractions . thank you . come on . nurse : well , how -- how many minutes apart ? katie : another one . bill : i got you . okay . katie : ( grunts ) nurse : how many minutes apart ? bill : i - i - i - i do n't know . i do n't know . she -- she did n't have one in the car . nurse : what 's your name ? katie : katie spencer . nurse : did her water break ? bill : no . nurse : when did the contractions start ? katie : it 's too soon . bill : can you do something ? woman : i mean , we -- dr. meade : mr. spencer , i 'm dr. meade , the attending . dr. caspary is in surgery . she 's finishing up . she 'll be here soon . we should probably get right to labor and delivery . bill : uh , wait , wait . labor and delivery ? she ca n't have the baby yet . katie : no , no , i ca n't . dr. meade : your wife and baby need to be put on monitors right away . bill : it 's not time . dr. meade : i understand what you 're saying -- bill : no , you do n't understand . this is a high - risk pregnancy . my wife had a heart transplant . she needs more help than you can give her , and she needs it now . katie : ( breathing heavily ) steffy : i ca n't tell you what you want to know , thomas . thomas : i just want to know you 're all right . steffy : i will be , whatever happens with liam and me . thomas : he 's coming back , steff . steffy : well , he 's not breaking records , that 's for sure . look , i just -- i - i thought it would be better this way , you know , healthier , not jumping back into something right after hope . i just thought it would happen faster . liam : no . no . n - no ! the -- dave , that is not how we do things around here anymore . just -- just get the thing on my desk first thing in the morning , okay ? thank you . son of a ... ( sighs ) taylor : hope would n't give you another chance , so now nobody else gets one ? liam : wow . taylor : i 'm sorry . that was a little direct . liam : no , uh ... ( scoffs ) no , i mean , you -- you -- you 've go a point to make , so make it . taylor : i guess -- yeah -- i 'm just a little surprised . steffy had told me that you had made some changes . liam : yeah , well , spencer publications has high standards . it 's my job to make sure that we live up to those standards . sometimes that means getting tough . taylor : that 's an interesting choice in words , `` getting tough . `` liam : look , i 'm not here to hold people 's hands . i have a magazine to put out . taylor : ( sighs ) liam , it 's not like you 've done anything wrong . it is n't unusual to want to armor yourself after you 've had a significant loss . there are many ways that people deal with grief . liam : i 'm not grieving . taylor : it seems to me like you -- you have feelings of anxiety and -- and regret and maybe some detachment . i also see some anger , like there 's , um , this darkness about you . liam : what is that ? what is -- what are you -- darkness ? what darkness ? taylor : there 's a change in your personality . liam : look , taylor , if all you 're tying to say is that i 'm walking around with a dark cloud over my head ... ( sighs ) then yeah , may be . there 's a lot going on lately . but my personality has n't changed . i 'm taking control of my life , but i 'm still me . i am still the same guy that i 've always been . taylor : liam , i 'm not saying there 's anything wrong with what you 've been doing . liam : good . then why are we talking about it ? taylor : i 'm here out of concern . liam : is this about steffy , hmm ? you 're worried about hope and me ? because i 'm trying to put that behind me . in any case , it does n't seem like i have much of a choice , so ... taylor : well , i can tell you one thing , liam . it is n't going to go behind you . if that 's all you do , it 's going to stay right there . it 's -- it 's no going anywhere . it 's gon na stay right in the back of your mind . ( sighs ) it is like grieving a death . liam : ( sniffles ) taylor : let it go . liam : ( chokes ) ( sobs ) taylor : you 've got to get to a place and let it go . liam : ( sniffles ) taylor : i know . i know you want to ... detach . i know . i know you want to put up barriers . i know that . liam : ( sniffles ) ( sobs ) taylor : but i want you to believe me when i tell you that it is true -- when one door closes , another one opens ... maybe something better . liam : ( sighs ) thomas : you know , you 're doing the right thing . steffy : thomas , i 'm not doing anything . thomas : yes , you are . you 're waiting to see how things shake out . steffy : have you met me ? really ? i am not a patient person . thomas : i know . i just do n't think you should feel bad if liam wants to take it slow , okay ? i means he 's actually taking it seriously this time . steffy : oh . hope 's not taking it slow . what ? she 's giving all these public press conferences , and she 's kissing you . and liam , he 's tied up in knots , because he 's trying to satisfy her . he 's beating himself up trying to rise to these impossible standards . thomas : ( sighs ) steffy : and you know it 's not fair . liam deserves to be happy . he really should just be enjoying his life , and he 's not . now he has a whole batch of other expectations on top of him , and it 's not healthy for him . it 's not good for him . you know , honestly ... i 'm afraid it 's not good for us . katie : it 's too soon . i 'm not ready . ( sighs ) nurse : doctor . bill : what is it ? katie : is it the baby ? dr. meade : no , the baby 's fine . there 's no distress there . but , katie , you need to try and remain calm . your heart rate is elevated , and we need to get that number down . bill : give her drugs . katie : no , no , they ca n't . they ca n't give me drugs . dr. meade : the beta blockers we 'd normally use to control the heart rate are much too dangerous for the baby . katie , look , you need to just remain calm . your water has n't broken yet . these contractions , they might subside on their own . you just need to stay calm , okay ? katie : ( sighs ) dr. meade : keep an eye on her for me . the transplant heart ca n't regulate itself the way katie 's heart did . if there 's too much adrenaline , it might skyrocket out of control if it gets above 140 , we will need to give her the beta blockers , perform an emergency c - section . if we do n't get her the medication in time , or even if we do ... ( sighs ) bill : what ? dr. meade : surgery on someone with an unstable heart rate is very risky . ( bill remembers ) bill : i am afraid . have you ever heard me use that word before ? i am afraid that it could kill you . and if it does n't kill you and it only weakens you , and our child grows and thrives , and then in a few years , you die ... i am afraid that i will feel hatred toward my own kid . ( back to the present ) bill : that 's not going to happen . ( heart monitor beeping ) bill : katie , the baby 's okay ... katie : ( sighs ) bill : and you 're okay . katie : oh . oh , god , no . oh , no . bill : come on . come on . listen . listen katie : ( whines ) bill : breathe . breathe , baby . you can do it . katie : ( whines ) bill : come on , you can do it . katie : i can't- i ca n't do it . i ca n't do it . bill : look at me . look at me . katie : ( breathing heavily ) bill : yes , you can do it . you can do it . come on , sweetheart . stay with me . yeah . there you go . there you go .

( knock on door ) steffy : please do n't tell me you forgot what i think you -- liam . hi . liam : okay to come in ? steffy : yeah . yeah . perfect timing . liam : your , uh ... your mom came to see me at the office today . steffy : oh , you know , um , well , the -- the thing about my mom , actually , she , uh -- liam : she 's a smart lady . steffy : yeah , but she does n't always know what 's right for everybody , and -- liam : when one door closes , another one opens . steffy : what ? liam : that 's -- that 's what she told me . steffy : oh . liam : yeah . steffy : well , like i said she 's a - a brilliant woman . liam : ( chuckles ) steffy : oh , uh , knock , knock . liam : what -- steffy : who 's there ? me . liam : uh ... steffy : yeah , the person who 's been telling you this , this whole time ... liam : i -- steffy : but you -- you listen to my mom and not me ? liam : i 'm -- oh ! whoa ! oh ! steffy : what 's the matter with you , huh ? ! no , no , no , no , no . what 's the matter with you , huh ? liam : gee , hey , oh ! noogie ! noogies ! no noogies ! steffy : i should throw you off my balcony . liam : we have an anti - noogie -- you 're ... steffy : ( laughs ) liam : ( chuckles ) ( heart monitor beeping ) katie : ( breathing deeply ) bill : why is she still having contractions ? katie : that one was n't so bad . bill : you said they 'd stop . dr. meade : right now your wife 's heart rate is my first concern . bill : there has got to be something you can give her . katie : no , no , nothing that will hurt the baby . bill : there has to be a safe drug that you can give her to stop labor . dr. meade : not for someone with katie 's history katie : he 's right , bill . bill : so there 's nothing you can do ? dr. meade : look , we 're doing everything we can . we just gave her some steroids to help the baby 's lungs mature just in case we need to deliver . bill : you said that would n't happen . dr. meade : we need to be prepared . bill : ( sighs ) katie : ( sighs ) dr. meade : i know you 're anxious , but you can not let her see that . we need to keep her heart rate below 140 . if anything gets above that ... ( sighs ) katie : ooh . oh , god . bill : katie . katie : oh , another one . bill : already ? katie : ( groans ) dr. meade : the contractions can be irregular . katie : ( whines ) bill : all right , then , katie , you 've got to calm down . katie : ( sobs ) bill : you 've got to breathe . come on . come on . look at me . nurse : her heart rate 's rising , doctor . bill : look at me . look at me . katie : ( breathing heavily ) ( sobs ) bill : there you go . now breathe . nurse : it 's still climbing , doctor . bill : breathe , katie . deep breaths . breathe . you 've got to calm down . come on . come on now . to slow your heart rate , you 've got to slow your breathing . there you go . breathe . katie : ( groans ) bill : deep breath , katie . breathe through it . come on . look at me , baby . come on now . katie : ( sobbing ) bill : you 've got to calm down , katie . you 've got to calm down . you can do it . breathe . breathe . that 's it . thattagirl . that 's right . | panic stricken , katie informs bill that she thinks she is going into labor . she cries that she is scared , but he says nothing is going to happen to her . he takes her to the hospital . dr. caspary is in surgery so dr. meade takes over . bill orders dr. meade that his wife is high risk and needs more help than he can give and she needs it now . thomas drops in on steffy and asks after seeing her at the wedding why is she living back here and not at liam 's . she switches it around to his love life with two women , hope and caroline . liam barks more orders at one of his employees just as taylor walks in . she wonders what is happening to him . he admits it 's been a hectic day and he has n't talked to steffy today . he 's just focusing both his professional and personal life on the future . he 's still the same guy he always has been . there is no dark cloud as she seems to be suggesting . taylor tells liam that she came there out of concern . he needs to learn to let go , otherwise it will always stay there in the back of his mind . he bursts out with a cry and feels better . |

[ scene_break ] eric : from the looks of things , ridge seems happy . brooke : caroline has definitely made an impact . steffy : more like rocked his world . not only did he marry caroline , he wants to have a child with her , start a new family . i take it you do n't approve . brooke : [ sighs ] it 's not my place . eric : you 're allowed a reaction . you and ridge were together off and on for a long time . brooke : we 're off that merry - go - round , eric , and i ca n't say i 'm sorry . steffy : oh , so it 's caroline in particular that bugs you ? brooke : it 's no secret that i think she 's too young for him . but they 're in love , and they seem to make each other happy . so , i wish them all my best . eric : but ? brooke : [ sighs ] but ridge has this sudden urge to have a child . i have my reservations .

[ door opens ] [ scene_break ] quinn : if my experience with brooke is anything to go by , i would say she 's not at all happy about ridge and caroline being married . i mean , i 'm not putting her down or anything , but , you know , once brooke has marked a man , she kind of sees him as hers for life . nicole : well , you know the dynamic better than anyone here . pam : well , i 'm definitely picking up a vibe from brooke , but i do n't think it 's about jealousy or even about territory . i 'm just thinking maybe it 's the ambivalence about the age difference . quinn : or maybe she 's protecting a different kind of territory . you know , as the mother of one of ridge 's children . that bond between you is important for your child 's sake . and he 's starting a whole , new family , a whole , new life with caroline . i can see how brooke could see that as a threat . [ scene_break ] eric : are you opposed to ridge having children with caroline ? brooke : no , i 'm not opposed . i just do n't think it 's wise for ridge to be starting a new family at this point in his life . steffy : you know what ? i get it . i was concerned about the whole relationship . my first thought was , i was never gon na accept this , and i told them that right to their face . eric : there 's a surprise . steffy does n't hold back . steffy : oh , really ? brooke : but you have accepted it . steffy : yeah , well , what am i supposed to do ? they made it very clear that they 're gon na stay together , no ifs , ands , or buts . the bottom line is that i 've never seen my dad this happy , and it 's all because of caroline . so , i got to have his back 100 % . [ scene_break ] thomas : so , how 's it feel ? married lady . caroline : i just ca n't even explain it . my life , just everything -- ooh . you know , when i moved to la , i just wanted to focus on my career and , you know , honing my craft and become the best possible designer that i could . thomas : and you did that . caroline : and that would have been enough , you know ? that would have been more than enough . but ... now i have ridge , too . and i 'm his wife and hopefully the future mother of his children . i know it sounds kind of selfish , but i just ... i just want to savor this time . thomas : so , in other words , you want it all . caroline : yes . well , leave it to you to just cut right to the chase with all that , but yeah , i do . i want everything that life has to offer and more . thomas : and you deserve that . caroline : i 'm really glad you 're back . thomas : me too . [ scene_break ] ridge : and that 's it . that 's why i 'm here . have my vasectomy reversed . dr. wollin : well , according to your french doctor 's notes , you were adamant about having the procedure . ridge : ah , that was then . dr. wollin : so , tell me . what 's changed ? ridge : what 's changed ? what has n't changed ? i fell in love with this beautiful woman . we got married , and she is a little younger than i am , different part of her life , and she wants to have a family . and i want that , too . i want to have a family with her . so , i want to talk to you about the possibility of getting it done -- the sooner , the better .

[ scene_break ] carter : so , you think brooke feels threatened . quinn : okay . say , for example , ridge is so enamored with his beautiful , young wife that he does n't have time for rj anymore . zende : well , ridge would always make time for his kids . quinn : no , no , no . i 'm just speaking hypothetically to illustrate a point . men have a special reverence for the mother of their children -- at least most men do . and brooke 's gotten used to that treatment , right ? and that position . she 's had to share it with taylor , but now with caroline ? there 's only so much ridge to go around . i would be a little possessive , too . [ scene_break ] caroline : and tell my uncle that we 'd be happy to do that segment for him . pam : oh , wait . no . ridge told me to turn that down . caroline : why ? pam : did n't want to do bill any favors ? caroline : god , boys and their battles . okay , call spencer publications and confirm a date and time , and i 'll handle ridge . brooke : spoken like a true forrester wife . do you have a minute ? caroline : sure . pam : oh , say . you probably want me to ... caroline : yeah . pam : okay . caroline : thank you , pam . pam : hi . brooke : hi . pam : close this ? caroline : mm - hmm . brooke : i just wanted to congratulate you , wish you all my best . caroline : thank you , brooke . your acceptance means a lot to me . brooke : i know i have n't always been your biggest supporter . caroline : eh , people had their doubts . brooke : i was one of them . caroline : and now ? brooke : well , now i see you make ridge very happy , and i definitely support that . just one word of advice . caroline : shoot . brooke : i can see how much you really want to have a family . but try to remember it 's never a given . [ scene_break ] ridge : well , doc , you got a bit of a stone face going there . what -- is there something i should be worried about ? dr. wollin : i tend to be noncommittal until i 've gathered all my facts . ridge : i would like some facts of my own . dr. wollin : i 'm sure you have some questions . ridge : i do . the biggest one being , what 's the chance of this having a positive outcome ? dr. wollin : well , the success rate for vasectomy reversal is quite high . it declines over time , but that should n't be an issue for you , since your procedure was fairly recent . ridge : good . i 'm just anxious to start this family . so , when can we do it ? dr. wollin : first , i need a fertility test . there 's no point in proceeding until you know you can get the results you want . [ scene_break ] [ birds chirping ] pam : who would have thought that a few years ago , when caroline stepped out of that elevator for the very first time that she , not brooke , would end up being mrs. ridge forrester ? charlie : well , sweetheart , i mean , you know , life throws us curveballs sometimes . pam : yeah . charlie : i mean , take you , for instance . i mean , like a good curveball , i never saw you coming . but now you are the , i do n't know , the inside - the - park , grand - slam home run of my life .

! quinn : and he wants to marry me . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : this is n't a joke , wyatt ! we 're in love ! this is real ! wyatt : that does n't make it right , mom . and it does n't mean that steffy has to accept it , either . quinn : what about you , huh ? can you -- can you put all these politics aside for just one day ? wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : wyatt , you 're my son . it 's my wedding day . i want you to be there . do n't you want me to be happy ?

i 'm not at all surprised you have questions . rick : no . dad , we know who quinn fuller is . and there 's nothing that you can say to convince us that she 's good for you or she 's good for this family . eric : you only talk about her past , though , the things she regrets . [ scoffs ] quinn 's not perfect . nobody is . everybody in this room has made mistakes . the difference is we 've been forgiven for ours . how many second chances have you been given by each other , by me ? pam mentioned stephanie . she was famous for her iron will and her fierce protection of her family . but her strongest attribute was her capacity to forgive . it saved our marriage countless times , and it turned her biggest enemy into a dearest friend in the end . i see that strength in all of you . you think you do n't have it , but i see it . the strength of forgiveness . it 's held our family together through countless terrible tragedies over the years . you do n't think that you can stand this , you do n't think you can accept it , but i know you can . because you 're forresters . so that 's what i want to see at my wedding tomorrow . i want you to give me your blessings . and i want to see a new start with quinn . thomas : we ca n't ignore what she 's done . eric : well , i 'm not gon na let her do anything bad to this family , thomas . steffy : it 's already happening . marrying quinn just makes it worse . eric : i 'm marrying quinn because i love her , steffy . there 's no manipulation going on here . i know who she is . i know who she is now . she 's a complex , beautiful , interesting woman . and she brings an excitement to my life , and she appreciates the stability i present to her . it 's a balance , is n't it ? is n't that what marriage is , is a balance ? rick : there 's nothing balanced about quinn fuller . eric : if marriages were left up to a family vote , very few of them would happen . decision 's been made , and it 's mine , and i have earned the right for you to respect it . oh , and one other thing . i want you to remember everything you 're so desperate to protect , the opportunities you 've been given , the successes that have happened for you ... they all happened because of my faith in you . that 's what i want to see tomorrow . put a little faith in me . and start over again with quinn . so come to the wedding . i need you there . i want you there . i want your support . be the people you were raised to be . show everybody the strength and the faithfulness that the forresters are known for . good . steffy : i need some air . ridge : steffy . thorne : what now ? quinn : hi . eric said ridge wanted to see him . i did n't know the whole family would be here . where is he ? rick : upstairs . quinn : steffy could n't make it ? ridge : she stepped away for a minute . quinn : why ? what happened ? ca n't you see what this opposition is doing to eric ? he does n't want to fight about this . ridge : we do n't want to fight about this . quinn : well , then listen to us . please . we 're in love . we 're getting married tomorrow , and eric really wants you to be there . ca n't you do that for him ? ca n't you give him that gift ? [ birds chirping ] ridge : we came here to stop this wedding . quinn : i really hope you can find it in your hearts to be there tomorrow . rick : ridge said it best . we do n't want this . quinn : but eric does . obviously nothing you said has changed his mind . pam : we have n't changed ours , either . quinn : i have tried to show you all that i 've changed . i have n't said a bad word about you . i have n't tried to turn eric against you . ca n't you just accept it ? trust his judgment . show just a little bit of optimism . eric has always supported all of you , even when he 's had to -- to choose sides or referee some kind of conflict . he and your mother have worked so hard to keep this family together . thorne : do n't talk about her . quinn : she would want him to be happy , would n't she ? that 's what i do for him . i make him happy . and he does the same thing for me . i am so grateful to have eric in my life . and i am not gon na mess that up . i promise you . look , i - i do n't normally express my feelings like this , but i - i - i want you to know . i want you to -- to hear what i have to say . eric means everything to me . i would do anything for him . pam : except leave him alone . quinn : i think he 's been alone long enough . do n't you , pam ? i think what he deserves now is a woman who 's gon na be loyal and devoted to him , and that 's me . i am gon na honor eric every single day that we spend together . ca n't you do that , too ? ca n't you honor your father , your grandfather ? do n't fight this . accept our invitation . please .

maya : no , i did n't . pam : do you think maybe we should call her ? ridge : guys , she 'll be back when she 's ready . leave her alone . thorne : i 'm not sure we should have left . rick : we tried to convince dad on his own , but once quinn showed up , it just -- there was nothing else we could do . thomas : we thought we could convince him . we thought he could be reasoned with . ridge : well , he thinks we 're being selfish . he does n't understand . thorne : he really wants us at the wedding . zende : it 's hard to say no . pam : it means so much to him . thomas : you know , everything that he said about forgiveness , that kind of hits home with me . ridge : yeah , sure did . hit home with all of us . so what do we do ? we forget all the horrible things that quinn has done ? she 's calculated . she knew that dad was alone . she moved in . i ca n't support that . thorne : yeah , but dad 's asking us to support him . ridge : he 's asking us to support this wedding to quinn ! pam : if only it could be someone else . rick : you heard them . it 's real love . ridge : all right , listen , even if it is , you okay with that ? that she 's gon na be the next matriarch of this family ? thorne : ha ! no one could ever replace mom . ridge : well , that 's what 's gon na happen , thorne . it 's what happens when people get married . if she marries dad , she 's gon na be mrs. eric forrester . and if we show up at this wedding , that means we condone everything that she 's done to get there . we got to think about it . are we all willing to do that ?

you know , we did n't even have to invite you to the wedding ! we could have gotten married on some remote island somewhere , just the two of us ! nobody ever had to know , but we did n't do that ! why ? because family is too important to us . people listen to you , steffy . the rest of the family will follow your lead , so please . please come to the wedding tomorrow . do it for your grandfather , for everything he has ever done for you . | the family gathers around as ridge says this wedding to quinn can not happen . steffy says it is a disaster and must stop now . steffy tells them brooke 's marriage has been put on hold so she will not be able to give bill 's shares to them and control the company . eric walks in and says good , they all got their invitations . ridge speaks up and says they love him but they are all in agreement that he can not marry quinn . each have their say and pam says her sister would not want him to do this . thorne says he came home not to support him but to get him to change his plans . ridge says they are all united , he should know how strongly they feel on this . quinn will never be part of this family . wyatt walks in and quinn says she had to send the invitation by e - mail as she and eric are excited about this and wanted the wedding right away . eric thinks his family will come around . ridge is not going to talk eric out of this and she hopes wyatt will come around too . eric tells them that he appreciates how they feel about him but this was not necessary . quinn is not perfect he says . everybody in this room has made mistakes . but all have been forgiven but now they can not do the same . even stephanie 's biggest asset was her willingness to forgive . it has held them together over countless years . that is what he wants to see tomorrow with their blessings . he knows who quinn is now , what was her past . she has brought excitement to his life and they have a balance in their lives . decision has been made and it is his and he has the right to expect them to respect them . all their successes has been his faith in them and that is what he would like to see tomorrow faith in him and start over with quinn . so do that tomorrow like forrester 's would and show him what they are made of . |

! liam : okay , true or false ? your relationship with spectra is basically unchanged from what it was a month ago . steffy : this is n't a month ago ! liam : well , i know you 're not suggesting we take advantage of a criminal act in order to put sally out of business . steffy : sally is a criminal act . liam : [ groans ] steffy : have you forgotten all the things that she 's done to my family -- thievery , humiliation ? liam : no . no , of course not , but it 's not my place to redress that . i have an ethical obligation to make up for the damage my dad has done , which , as you know , has been going on since the moment sally hit town . now , i ca n't reverse all of my dad 's ill - gotten gains , but this time , i can . steffy : okay . so , your new title as c.e.o . , this office -- those are ill- gotten gains . you do n't want to say it 's blackmail . then what is it ?

teenagers -- they think they know everything . but it -- am i making you sad ? brooke : no . you never make me anything but proud . r.j. : i promise i 'm not trying to matchmake . it 's just i know what life was like when you were happiest . dad was here . liam : uh ... hey , bro . wyatt : do n't `` bro `` me . liam : do me a favor . wyatt : hmm ? liam : you want to talk to me , check with alison about what a good time would be . wyatt : i 'm sorry . are you seriously telling me that i have to make an appointment to come and see you ? i never had to do that for dad , and i 'm certainly not gon na start that with you . liam : i 'm sor -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i should have said that more tactfully . wyatt : what , are you reading management textbooks now or something ? like , i do n't work for you . i 'm your brother , remember ? liam : no , you 're my brother , and you do work for me . listen , you want to get a beer after work , cool , but unless you have a specific reason to see me -- wyatt : i have about 50 million of them . i 'm sorry . does that -- does that number mean something to you ? liam : a lot of big numbers come across this desk , wyatt . wyatt : really ? because justin and i were going over some figures for the end of the quarter , and that number kind of stood out in particular to me . liam : it 's nothing illegal . it was n't embezzled . wyatt : it was worse . it was thrown away . you bought spectra fashions ' building , and then you just gave it away to sally ? ! sally : so , you 're saying the reason that the cutting room was so stuffy is because of the ducts ? mm - hmm . the ducts were too old and too narrow . sally : could you guys give me a minute ? well , we are definitely not fit for company , but , uh , welcome . steffy : yeah . i saw downstairs . i 'm so sorry . it 's even worse than i imagined . sally : yeah . the only good thing about it is that this place stinks of smoke so badly , nobody realizes that we 're swimming in sweat without ac . [ chuckles ] steffy : thought you were leaving town . sally : i was . yeah , uh , but then i thought about my great - aunt sally and her never - say - die spunk , and i thought , you know ... might as well give spectra one last shot . steffy : with my husband 's help ? sally : good . good . okay . uh , he told you ? steffy : of course . sally : look , you really are the luckiest woman on earth with a man like that . steffy : how could you accept that kind of gift ? sally : i mean , i said no , but he would n't listen . steffy : right . right . sally : look , steffy , i do n't think of it as a gift . it 's a debt that i have to pay back . steffy : so , you 're gon na give back , what , $ 50 million ? sally : you know , there are some people that believe in me . steffy : i know there are people that believe in you . my brother was one of them . he gave you money , and ... look what happened there . sally : okay , look , i do n't want to fight with you . steffy : i 'm not fighting with you . i 'm just giving you facts . you have proven to me over and over that i ca n't let my guard down with you . any more sponging off my family , stealing from my company ... i will prosecute . you will have to answer to me . and this time , you will pay . | steffy sees the spontaneous hug between sally and liam . sally tells liam she never thought she could be this happy . bill goes to see ridge who tells him brooke is not here but if she were she would not want to talk to him . he always knew she would see bill 's true colors . bill says they are going through a rough patch right now but they are still married and he expects ridge to respect that . he is deadly serious when he says to stay the hell away from his wife . ridge says brooke does not have to tell him anything but he does know that she is through with him . rj hugs his mom and says he knows she walked out on bill . he saw her hug his dad and he thinks that is significant so he wonders what she is going to do next . he knows she still loves his dad . wyatt questions justin on some purchase for $ 50 million with only the letter g and he knows it was not from bill so it had to be liam . they start looking at the computer following transactions and sally 's name comes up twice . wyatt figures it out that liam bought the property and then just gave it to sally as a gift ( g ) . steffy comes on into the office and as they talk liam admits he gave the spectra building to sally . she does not see the justice in that when she belongs in jail . he says he was only trying to keep his dad out of jail by buying the building and giving it to sally . he says this is his family business so why would steffy even care . he thinks he has an ethical obligation to right some things that his dad has done . it is done and it does not have to affect their lives . |

amber : well , like stealing from casinos . i mean , think about it , this is deacon , you know , there -- there 's got to be tons of stuff . you know ? and oscar , he could testify . and then the judge , he could see what a bad influence deacon would be -- bridget : amber , amber . stop . okay ? it 's over . amber : no , no ! see , that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . it is n't . bridget : it is . it is , whatever happened years ago , no judge is going to care . and even if they do , who gets custody of little eic ? the woman who held him at the edge of a cliff ? amber : no , rick . rick would get eric . we could do that for him -- bridget : stop it ! god ! you do n't think you 've done enough for rick ? given the fact that he 's home right now , packing up the rest of little eric 's things . getting ready to say good - bye to -- amber -- eric is his whole world . amber : well , you do n't have to tell me that . bridget : yeah , apparently , i do . because even after you cost him his son , you 're still going on with these stupid , crazy , impulse moves . i mean , do you ever think ?

[ jackie chuckles ] jackie : that 's what this was ? a show of faith ? massimo : i know you 'll never let me down . jackie : no , i wo n't . not ever again . not as a businesswoman -- or as a wife . massimo : well , you are going to need little help with the business . nick : mm ? massimo : mm - hmm . nick : mm - umm . mm - umm . massimo : ah ! we are launching a new arm of marone industries , and i want the best man -- for the transition . nick : they 're boutiques . massimo : just think of 'em as a fleet of boutiques . jackie : darling , this is so exciting . we 're going to be working together . deacon : well , congratulations , to all of you . good luck . massimo : hold it , deacon , hold it . hold it , hold it , hold it . i 'm not through with you yet . deacon : massimo , it seems to me like you 've got a lot of work to do , so -- massimo : uh - huh -- so do you . unless you have given up on the fashion industry . i know that you had a bad experience with sharpe designs . deacon : yeah , well , you know , that 's my fault . i should have known from the beginning that i 'd never get a fair shake from eric forrester . massimo : you not going to have the that problem with me . at marone industries , i reward dedication , and loyalty . of course , i could offer the vice presidency to somebody else . deacon : the vice presidency ? massimo : mm - hmm . deacon : oh wow , massimo , i 'm not exactly what you call executive material . [ massimo chuckles ] massimo : you 're hungry . okay ? you 're ambitious . and you 're too smart to say no . we are all starting anew , wiping out the past . jackie : yes . yes , that 's what i want . more than anything else . thank you , darling . thank you . nick : let 's give 'em a little privacy , huh ? nick : so , you thought my mother was having an affair with another man . deacon : listen , nobody 's happier than me to be wrong about that . nick : that 's good to hear . i hope you 're better in the fashion business than you are in the following business . amber : so , you 're gon na call the police ? stephanie : i 'll give you one more chance . amber : you want me to quit my job ? stephanie : you 're going to leave . amber : leave ? stephanie : town ! stephanie : did you not just say to me that thomas ca n't stay away from you ? and that you 've tried , and you ca n't stay away from thomas ? so , what other alternative is there ! amber : what are you going to do , stephanie , offer me money , like brooke did ? ! stephanie : no , no , no ! i 'm going to appeal to your integrity ! you tell me that you 're a different person , you 've changed ? ! [ amber sobs ] this is your time to prove it . amber : i will , okay ? ! stephanie : good ! then you show me if you really care for this boy . show me , and prove to me how adult these feelings really are . amber : what do you want me to do , run away ? ! stephanie : no , i want you to leave , so he can could get back to a normal life . so that he can repair the rift with his father . amber : oh , no ! you are not blaming that on me ! stephanie : you are right in the middle of them ! he can not afford to lose his father . he 's already lost his mother ! you 've seen what that 's done to him , how it 's affected his life ! you want to cut him off from the rest of his family ? ! why ? ! because he makes you feel better about yourself ? ! do you realize how selfish that is ? ! no good can come from this . no good ! either way , you break his heart . either way . so i want you to do the right thing . i want you to leave . thomas : sorry , i know your break 's almost -- grandma . stephanie : hello , thomas . you 're here just in time . amber has something to tell you . thomas : what 's going on ? stephanie : tell him it 's over . | rick tries one more time to warn thomas about amber before giving up the lost cause . stephanie and amber have a huge fight that is reminiscent of stephanie and brooke 's fights . stephanie tells amber that she wants her to break it off with thomas and leave town . massimo buys a large line of boutiques for jackie for their anniversary . he then asks nick to be president and deacon to be vice president . |

ivy : she was in disguise . we had no clue . caroline : quinn was that hell - bent on keeping liam from meeting hope ? maya : wow . carter : it 's unbelievable . pam : see , charlie just had this hunch that something was off , so he called in some favors to these bigwigs . charlie : all part of being a security vip . pam : and now we 've got all the proof we need . okay . take a look . here we are at the paris airport , and who 's getting on the bike in the dark glasses but quinn fuller ?

i have something i need to go and do . donna : we 'll save you a big corner piece . eric : well , i 'm assuming that , uh -- that hope and liam know about this ? pam : yeah . and we spoke to deacon and brooke earlier , too . carter : what about wyatt ? rick : he 'd better not be in on it with his mother . charlie : no , there 's no reason to believe he is . caroline : i feel really bad for wyatt . maya : yeah . not only is his mother completely nuts ... caroline : he 's probably gon na lose hope , too . rick : `` probably `` ? there 's no way that hope is gon na stay with wyatt after this . wyatt : you do n't know that for sure . quinn : i have a gut feeling about this . wyatt : hmm . quinn : it 's all gon na work out in the end . wyatt : good . quinn : and i - i 'm not worried about you and hope because i have faith in her feelings for you . you -- you have given her something that liam never could -- your unconditional love and your undying devotion . wyatt : yeah , hope knows how i feel about her . quinn : honey , i 'm your mother . i 'm always gon na be in your life . look , i - i know -- i know that i messed up , but you have to forgive me . i could be a good person . i could be a good mother . wyatt : mom , just stop it ! okay ? what do n't you get about this ? this is n't about you . you are the last person that i care about right now . hope is with liam , and i do n't know if she 's ever coming back . i could get a phone call or a text saying , `` goodbye . that 's it . it 's over . i 'm done . `` and then a bunch of movers are gon na come in here and take all her stuff out . quinn : no . she would n't do that . wyatt : oh , she might . and you know what ? i would understand because being with me -- the baggage that comes along with being married to me -- you are not just this overbearing mother - in - law who tells her what to wear and how to decorate the house . you put people 's lives in danger -- calculating and manipulating . and who in their right mind would want to sign up for a lifetime of that ? ! no , you know what ? just get out of here . i do n't want to be around you right now . quinn : honey , i just -- wyatt : please just get out of here ! liam : uh ... i mean , when -- when did you -- what -- i mean , were you just -- were you feeling like -- hope : i do n't know . i - i do n't know . it -- i 've been so busy with hope for the future since i got back from paris and the honeymoon , and i knew that i had been a little late , but i - i did n't think anything of it . i really just thought it was stress . i - i mean , that 's what happened last time , and i did n't want to cry wolf again . i did n't want to freak out like last time , but after wyatt brought up starting a family , and after talking to my mom about kids , part of me just thought that maybe -- maybe i should double - check . so when i left wyatt and quinn to come over here , i - i just had to be sure . liam : [ sighs ] this ca n't be happening . how is this -- how is this happening ? um -- um , well -- well , what do we do ? hope : what can we do ? liam : [ sighs ] i - i -- god ! it 's never been fair for us , is it ? it 's never fair . i mean , just when we 're finally getting back on track ... this -- really ? hope : liam , when you told me what quinn did ... i did n't want to let her get away with it . i did n't want her to win . i - i did n't want to be messed with and -- and manipulated -- not again , and especially not from her . but then -- [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] how could she do this to us ? liam , i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . liam : none of this is your fault . none of it . hope : liam , i came over here wanting to start a life with you , to make plans with you , but i just -- i had this feeling . liam : and you were right .

steffy : liam sees something in you that i don't . for his sake and yours , i hope he 's right , because if you take advantage of his kind , generous heart ... watch out . wyatt : i 'm waiting . liam : i do n't have to answer to you , wyatt . wyatt : oh , because you 're c.e.o . -- is that it ? -- and that your word is final ? liam : when it comes to the purchase of spectra fashions by spencer publications , yes , as a matter of fact . wyatt : it 's $ 50 million , liam ! you realize that 's what it cost this company , and what do we have to show for it ? absolutely nothing , because you gifted it to sally spectra ! liam : let me tell you something about that fire . wyatt : oh , you feel bad about it . great . good for you . so do i . but you know what ? i would never drop that kind of money on a piece of property that dad wanted and then just give it away . this company has to assume that debt . you know that , right ? does dad know about this ? liam : dad is not c.e.o . anymore , wyatt . i am . wyatt : yeah , for now . you know ... bro , i just -- you are digging a deeper hole for yourself for when dad comes back and is in charge here . ridge : bill ... can you please explain to me all these sudden changes in your life ? bill : nothing to explain . ridge : but there is . you stepped down as c.e.o . you asked liam to take over , and i know you do n't have that much confidence in the guy . i just feel that , somehow , this is all connected to brooke leaving you . bill : shameful how -- how cynical you are . ridge : cynical ? i -- whatever you did , it must have been pretty big ... for brooke to just say she does n't want to have anything to do with you . bill : that 's bull . she never said that . ridge : no , she did n't -- not those words exactly -- but she was upset , upset enough to put some distance between you and her , and it makes me think that she 's realizing that her marriage to you was a big mistake , and it makes me wonder where her beautiful heart is gon na take her next . r.j. : bill did something that hurt you . not that i 'm all surprised . i just did n't expect it to happen so soon . brooke : r.j ... r.j. : okay , okay . i know . it 's between you two . i mean , i just wish you could admit it . brooke : what ? r.j. : that no other man will ever be what dad is to you . bill : you can wipe that smug look off your face . brooke is n't your destiny . ridge : who are you trying to convince ? bill : she 's just a prize to you . once you have her , you take her for granted . it 's what you do . ridge : says the man who did something so despicable , brooke walked out on her marriage five minutes into it . bill : you do n't know what i 've done or have n't done . and for the record , brooke has n't left me . and i would suggest to you that it would be wise to stay the hell out of our lives while we work through it . brooke : i do n't want you worrying about this , sweetheart . r.j. : i 'm not . i just want you to be happy . brooke : i want that , too . r.j. : and i 'm not trying to push anything , okay ? it 's -- i know you guys had your issues , too . but i think dad 's really the man who makes you happy , and i think you know that , too . wyatt : come on . you 've got to know dad 's gon na go ballistic on you when he finds out you gave away spectra ! liam : i can handle him , wyatt . wyatt : really ? ! what about steffy ? can you handle her ? how 's she taking all this ? liam : she already knows , okay ? wyatt : oh , and she 's not happy about it , is she ? of course she is n't , because you just bought a $ 50 million gift for another woman , who , mind you , has done nothing but torment your wife since the day she got to l.a. now , why would you do that ? it does n't make any sense ! sally : wow . okay . so , you really do n't think much of me . steffy : i feel bad for spectra fashions . sally : but that does n't give me permission to take advantage of your husband 's decency . i 'm not . i never asked anything of liam , okay ? the fire was not his fault . it was an accident . look , princess , you really are a princess , and you married a prince . i will pay him back every penny , my promise . steffy : why should i believe anything you say ? sally : because i 've changed . steffy : sally , i 'm telling you ... do not lie , cheat , or steal or make my husband regret what he 's done . liam might not come after you , but i will . are we clear ? liam : okay . this is getting us nowhere . wyatt : uh , because you refuse to tell me about this little giveaway with spectra and what it 's all about . liam : fine , wyatt . it 's confidential . i 'm not at liberty to say . sorry . wyatt : oh , my god . what does that even mean ? ! `` i 'm not at liberty to say `` ? why all the secrecy , bro ? i - i 'm your v.p . here at spencer . i 'm your brother . liam : so you keep reminding me . wyatt : i just -- i want an explanation for the whole transfer and what it means for spencer publications . i mean , come on ! otherwise -- liam : listen . listen to me . listen . i 'm in control now , okay ? i understand you have these questions . i understand that . but you 're just gon na have to deal with it if you expect to continue here at spencer . wyatt : wow . i mean , who -- who are you right now ? where 's my brother ? i do n't -- i do n't even know who this is . i do n't know what you turned into . coco : i saw steffy walking out a while ago . she did n't look happy . sally : well , princess is n't happy about spectra being back in the fashion game , particularly how it happened . ridge : hey . where have you been ? steffy : spectra fashions , or what 's left of it , having a heart to heart with sally . ridge : so , i heard that spectra is n't folding . they 're gon na rebuild . but how did they do that with no money and no insurance ? steffy : i guess they just found another way . ridge : and what is that ? some secret investor somewhere ? steffy : yeah , something like that . so , uh , did you hear brooke left bill ? ridge : yep . i spoke to her . steffy : did you find out why ? ridge : i know why . you know , it 's obvious . the guy showed his true colors . steffy : how ? ridge : i do n't -- i do n't know . she did n't say specifically , but , obviously , it was big enough for brooke to call it quits . [ door opens ] brooke : r.j. , did you forget someth -- [ door closes ] bill : i was concerned that if you knew it was me at the door , you would n't let me in . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : i 'm sorry , brooke . i want you to come home . coco : you still have n't told me who your guardian angel is . like , sal , who saved spectra ? sally : let 's just say it 's someone who will always have a special place in my heart . that is all you 're getting out of me , little sis ... for now . liam : wyatt , i - i am trying to take this company in a more responsible direction . you understand ? wyatt : no ! no , because you 're -- you 're way beyond that . like , you 're just -- you 're some vigilante do - gooder who 's just turning his back on his entire family , and then -- and then you give the keys of the kingdom to these people ! liam : `` these people `` ? wyatt : yeah . liam : `` these people `` ? that 's how you think of anybody who is n't a spencer ? wyatt : [ groans ] liam : well , i got news for you , wyatt . the spectras may not have been born with a silver spoon in their mouths , but neither were we ! we are `` these people . `` wyatt : i know that ! that 's not what i 'm saying . liam : no , that is what -- no , that is what you 're saying . you 're saying that because our family has money , because our family has social status , we 're better than them , right ? we 're better than the spectras . we 're better than the rest of the employees here at spencer . well , wrong . these are good , hardworking , decent people , and they deserve to be rewarded . wyatt : right . right , because -- because sally spectra is such a good , decent person . i mean , have you forgotten all the crazy things she 's pulled ? because i 'm sure your wife has n't forgotten ! liam : look at me . look at me . i am not saying that sally is perfect . she 's human . she 's done things she regrets , just like you , just like me . but she is trying . she is trying to change all of that . wyatt : well , fantastic . you know , i really hope she succeeds . but i just -- i want -- i just want an explanation . why -- why would you give that building -- liam : it 's -- i did n't give it , wyatt . she 's gon na pay me back -- every cent . wyatt : oh , my god . please , please tell me you have that in writing . liam : stop . i do n't need it in writing , okay ? i trust her . wyatt : you trust her ? ! you can not run a major corporation with all their great employees based on trust ! has dad not taught you anything ? ! liam : like what ? ! how to lie , cheat , and steal your way to the top ? wyatt : [ sighs ] liam : how to profit on the back of the little guy ? how to make conflicts of interest not just a business plan but a way of life ? i 'm sorry , but after everything he 's done to sabotage her , i feel for sally . she 's got guts . she 's got drive . she 's got a boatload of talent . and for once , i 'm gon na see to it that she gets the chance she deserves . wyatt : wow . you know , the way -- the way you 're talking about sally right now , defending her and everything -- hey , be honest with me , bro . do you -- do you have a thing for the redhead ? steffy : did brooke say she 's leaving bill for good ? ridge : not in those words exactly , but , uh , yeah . steffy : maybe a little wishful thinking ? ridge : m - maybe . listen , you know how i feel about spencer , and i always said that he was n't right for brooke , and now ... they 've proved my point . i just wonder -- steffy : wonder what ? ridge : [ sighs ] i wonder if all these changes in bill 's life -- you know , stepping down as c.e.o . and putting liam in charge -- i just wonder if that 's connected to -- to brooke leaving him in some way . that 's all . steffy : let me ask you , now that , uh , brooke is not with bill and their marriage is over . what does that mean for the two of you ? ridge : me and brooke ? i mean , i 'm always gon na love her , and i 'll always be there for her . bill : i went by forrester . i thought i might find you there . instead , i had the displeasure of bumping into the dressmaker . brooke : please tell me you did n't get into anything . bill : well , i did n't knock him out , if that 's what you 're asking . i 've learned my lesson . brooke , i know that you 're -- you 're upset and -- and disillusioned with me . i do n't blame you . i 'm upset and disillusioned with myself . i mean , i let my ego , my need for power and control , get the best of me . if i could go back and undo everything i did , i would . ordering the fire ... striking my son -- i mean , striking -- striking my son . i lost my head . i lost -- i lost all perspective , and why ? because of a damn skyscraper . well , i 've told anyone who would listen that i would give 10 skyscrapers -- i 'd give 100 -- to have you back ... because you 're the most important thing in my life -- you and my family . nothing matters more , not -- not money , not power , not glass and chrome towers -- none of it . none of it matters if i do n't have you . please come back , brooke . please come back . sally : is that why you invited me here ? you 're giving this building back to my great - aunt ? liam : i believe sally spectra is your name , too . 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 : the building , the property , all of it -- it 's yours , sally . liam : i do not have a thing for sally spectra . i 'm trying to right a wrong . wyatt : oh , ri -- that 's what you 're all about these days -- righting wrongs with , uh , company policy . liam : wyatt , we can afford to be generous . we rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in profit every year . wyatt : not if you keep giving it away , dummy ! you -- you 're just -- you 're more of like a robin hood as opposed to , like , a caped crusader type of c.e.o . , 'cause i know that 's probably what you 're visualizing right now . but i 'm gon na go on the record right here . i totally disagree with your approach , and dad will , too , and when he comes back , rest assured he is going to make you pay for everything . ridge : does that surprise you ? steffy : hearing that you want brooke back ? no . though i have to admit , part of me just ca n't stop thinking about bill -- everything that he 's been through . ridge : why ? what -- what are you not telling me ? what did bill do ? steffy : i mean , he 's my father - in - law , and he 's not perfect , but ... you 're not gon na like me saying this . but bill does love brooke . and he 'll do everything he possibly can to get her back . bill : brooke , i fell in love with you , pursued you relentlessly because i never met anyone like you -- a woman who could be my equal , who would challenge me , who would support me unconditionally ... until i made it impossible for you not to . i should have thought everything through . i mean , if i had , then , of course , i would have realized that you would be appalled by my behavior , appalled by your husband standing in front of you , trying to justify the unjustifiable . i mean , it 's no wonder you walked away . but i 'm gon na do everything i can to make it right . losing my company ... losing my son 's respect , losing your respect -- it 's opened my eyes in a way that nothing ever has . and i do n't mean to say that i can become a saint or anything close to it . but what i can do , what i can promise you , is that i will do everything in my power to be worthy of a woman like you ... a woman that i 'm blessed to call my wife . we can get through this together together . we can , and we will . what are you doing ? i want you to come home with me , brooke . do n't take that ring off . do n't even think about taking off your wedding ring . | steffy tells sally that liam sees something in her that she does n't , but watch out if she takes advantage of his kind , generous heart . sally says she will pay liam back every penny . steffy says good , do not make him regret what he has done . wyatt rails at liam that he would not drop that kind of money on a piece of property that his dad wanted and then just give it away . he is digging a big hole for himself to explain when bill comes back . and then there is steffy . she is going to go ballistic when she finds out that he gave the spectra building to another woman . no one does that . ridge tells bill that whatever he did must have been pretty big for brooke to leave . maybe she is just now realizing that marrying him was a big mistake . he tells ridge to wipe that big old smile off his face and get the hell out of their lives . rj tells his mom that he just wishes she would admit it no other man will ever be the same as his dad . they belong together . ridge confides in steffy that brooke finally threw bill out . bill walks on into brooke 's house saying he is sorry but he did not think she would open the door to him otherwise . he wants her to come home . he says he let his ego and power get control and he wishes he could go back and change that . he even saw ridge but he did not punch him out . he says he would give a hundred skyscrapers to get her back . nothing matters more glass towers , money and power if he does not have her . he begs again for her to please come back . |
nick : yeah , they 're about to wrap the initial investigation . there 's a list of hotels . the one on the top 's supposed to be the best . massimo : okay . oh , god . i hope ridge is there , safe and sound . brooke : and when i came out of that room , he was gone . manager : have you checked the lounges ? brooke : yes . manager : and the beach ? brooke : yes . manager : maybe -- sometimes our guests go for long walks . brooke : all night ? manager : maybe if you want , i can put in a call to the local bars . brooke : we are on our honeymoon . my husband is not going to leave me to go get drunk at some bar all night . manager : take it easy , señora forrester . brooke : look , do n't you hear what i 'm saying ? something happened to ridge . he is in trouble . i know he is .

what did they do to my son ? brooke : i do n't understand . how did you know we were here ? massimo : there was an incident off the coast here . it involved one of my tankers . when i got on my jet , what happened was -- brooke : oh , your pilot ? you forced your pilot to tell you where he dropped us off . massimo : that 's not important now , brooke . tell me about ridge . how long has he been gone ? brooke , what happened ? massimo : say something , damn it ! brooke : why should i ? you have all the answers . massimo : what ? what the hell -- i have no idea what the hell you are talking about . brooke : no , massimo , you never do . massimo : wait a minute , wait a minute , wait a minute . oh , i see , i get it . you -- you 're blaming me for this . brooke : all right , where is he ? where did you take him ? massimo : you could n't be more wrong . brooke : you heard that we were going to elope , and you could n't let that happen , so you grabbed him when i was n't looking to get him as far away from me as possible . massimo : no . brooke , no . brooke : so that he would n't marry the worthless piece of trash . well , it 's too late , massimo . because i am already mrs. ridge forrester . and there 's not a damn thing that you can do about it ! massimo : you listen to me , you understand ? i had absolutely nothing to do with this . brooke : oh , god , i 'm sure this was just another prank of yours to keep me away from ridge . when i think of everything that you have resorted to -- you ruined my relationship with my father , and you nearly cost me my relationship with my daughter . you tried to rob me of every person that i love in this world . well , no more , massimo . no more ! i am not going to let you do that anymore ! toro : do n't move . even if you get it off , you 're not going anywhere . ridge : what is this ? who are you guys ? what -- what the hell 's going on here ? toro : retribution , mi amigo . you are going to help us get what we deserve . ridge : me ? why -- why would i -- look , guys -- obviously , there 's some mistake here . i 'm a tourist . tourista ? comprende ? just on my honeymoon . juan : do n't move . ridge : gentlemen , i think you have the wrong guy . toro : no , we do n't -- señor marone . rafael : oh , dear . and you said a friend did this to you ? stephanie : more like an acquaintance . samantha : well , if anyone can fix sally 's handiwork , it 's rafael . rafael : yeah , and i like a challenge . stephanie : god knows you 've got one . rafael : all right , let 's get started . i 'm gon na need to -- samantha : just relax and enjoy . he 's a real artiste . brooke : i 'm through being hurt by you . i 'm not gon na be taken in by you , i 'm not gon na be manipulated by you . i just want you out of my life , and i want you out of my husband 's life . massimo : hold it . hold it ! now , stop your idiotic ranting , and you pay attention to me , brooke . i do not have ridge . you understand that ? god knows i wish i did , but it appears as if he 's been taken by some terrorists . brooke : terrorists ? massimo : yes , they want cash money , power , i do n't know , whatever the hell they want . brooke : stop it , i do not believe you ! massimo : it is the truth . nick : believe him , brooke . brooke : nick . nick : he 's being straight with you . we 're dealing with a dangerous bunch here . forrester 's gon na need help from all of us . stephanie : yes , i can see that you 're an artiste . wish you could fix my life as easily as you seem to be able to fix my hair . samantha : stephanie 's had a few personal and professional setbacks lately . rafael : oh , well , then , perhaps your blitz barber 's done you a favor , really . i mean , sometimes you need to get down to your lowest point , really stripped of all your defenses , like samson shorn of all his hair , before you can recognize and really reclaim your inner strength . stephanie : hmm . psychiatrist in the disguise of a hairstylist , i see . rafael : oh , it 's all one and the same , really . i mean , true style is about feeling at ease with yourself on every level . i mean , knowing who you are in here and then just recognizing it and reflecting it out here . stephanie : so you practice and you preach , no pretense . rafael : uh - huh . i mean , your hair color , for instance -- is it natural ? stephanie : oh , come on now . you know as well as i it 's natural from the bottle . rafael : well , how would you feel about throwing it away ? stephanie : you mean go silver ? rafael : uh - huh . samantha : great idea . stephanie : what ? samantha : very modern . oh , very chic . rafael : oh , yeah . and you 'd be making a bold statement . stephanie : oh , really ? rafael : uh , huh . stephanie : all right , what the hell ? why not take a chance ? [ laughter ] brooke : i do n't understand . nick : there 's a lot we still do n't know . brooke : terrorists ? massimo : look , that 's what someone wants us to believe . whether it 's true or not , we 'll find out soon enough . brooke : you , you did this . he 's the one . nick : no , he 's as worried as you are . brooke : you do n't -- you do n't know what he 's done . all these years , trying to come between ridge and me . he even bribed my own father to lie to me . nick : you think i 'd be a part of something like that ? brooke : no . oh , god , nick . nick : do n't panic . brooke : what 's happened to him ? nick : he 's all right . massimo : you do n't know that for sure . nick : i do know that . if they wanted to kill him , they would have done it down here . then they 'd lose their product . brooke : product ? nick : product . ridge is what we want . they want cash . they ca n't let anything happen to him . then they do n't get their cash . brooke : they ? who ? who 's they ? nick : look at this . ever seen it before ? brooke : no . what is it ? massimo : company logo , so to speak . they plastered it on the hull of a marone tanker a couple of days ago , and that 's the reason we came down here . this group specializes in kidnapping big business executives overseas . brooke : how did they know ridge was here ? nick : you think they just got lucky ? massimo : no , no , no , too much of a coincidence . nick : you 're probably right . brooke : we did n't tell anybody where we were going . i did n't even know until we got here . massimo : yes , but the pilot knew , the people here at the hotel knew , the people on the island know because they have resources everywhere . brooke : well , then , how do you know who to trust ? nick : you do n't . that 's why you deal with me , massimo and no one else . brooke : you really think he 's all right ? nick : yeah , i do . brooke : okay , so now what ? nick : we wait . brooke : what ? massimo : they happen to be in charge here at the moment . that does n't sit well with any of us , but it 's the reality . brooke : how do they contact us ? nick : the bigger question right now is when . brooke : well , it 's got to be pretty soon if they want the ransom so badly . nick : let 's hope . brooke : why would n't it be soon ? nick : because they 're tricky . they play games . they try to gain power . they could make us sweat it out for months . brooke : months ? nick : it 's possible , but not likely . brooke : oh , my god . i ca n't believe this is happening . nick : come on , keep it together . brooke : no -- nick : keep it together . brooke : he 's there one minute and he 's gone the next . he said he would never leave . oh , my god , i 'm gon na have to tell his children . massimo : brooke , come on , take it easy , will you ? you 're getting ahead of yourself here . the first thing we have to do is concentrate on getting ridge back . nick : stay with me now . look , hey , stay focused . brooke : what if i never see him again . nick : you will . i promise . i 'm gon na bring him back . i 'm gon na do that for you . ridge : look , whatever it is you 're after , holding me hostage is n't the answer . you do n't think anybody 's really gon na cooperate with you , do you ? you 're only gon na end up getting yourselves killed .

( laughs ) okay , but what about hope for the future ? i do n't want to seem like a hypocrite . brooke : honey , you have unquestionable integrity , and you 've been an inspirational role model . so many young women have listened to you . you would n't be betraying your message -- far from it . you waited until you found somebody that you want to spend the rest of your life with , and you waited to make sure that he wanted the same thing . nobody ever pressured you into doing anything you did n't want to do until you were ready to do it . so it 's pretty much the message you were putting out there , right ? hope : yeah , yeah , it is . brooke nobody needs to know . in your mind and in your heart , you are married , so why not take it to the next level ? hope : you 're right . ( cell phone rings ) ( ring ) hope : it 's liam . brooke : oh , boy you have a lot to talk about . ( ring ) hope : uh , first some bad news , but then some really , really good news . brooke : do you want me to leave ? hope : no , no , no , no . i 'm not gon na get into it on the phone . ( ring ) hope : liam ? liam : did you talk to your parents ? hope : yes , i did . liam : so ... did you discuss any dates ? like sometime next week or -- hope : uh , could i swing by tonight ? 'cause i - i want to talk to you about it . liam : uh , yeah , let me -- let me just find out what my dad 's plan is for tonight . you 're not gon na guess what he 's doing . hope : what ? liam : he 's actually throwing me a last - minute bachelor party . can you believe that ? i mean , i - i told him to keep it tame , so it 's not ... hope : okay , well , does that mean i 'm not gon na see you until tomorrow ? because i was really hoping we could talk . liam : uh , yeah , well , why do n't you just come over after ? i mean , i promise . it 's not gon na go too late . hope : okay . liam : cool . wait , you said you -- you want to talk ... like -- like talk ? like it 's serious ? hope : a little . liam : hope , what is it ? hope : no . no , no , no . i do n't want to ruin your party . liam : all right , well , now you have to tell me . hope : okay , um , i ca n't move up the wedding . liam , are you there ? liam : um ... hope , you said -- hope : i know . i know . i know i did . but i will explain everything tonight . liam : why do n't you explain it now ? hope : um , yeah , it 's -- it 's because of my ad campaign for the line . it -- it 's just we really need to keep the wedding as it is . i 'm sorry . i know that 's not what you were hoping for . liam : i was hoping you 'd keep your promise to me . hope : i know . i know , but you know what ? there 's -- there 's other news , too . um , but we 'll -- we 'll talk about it tonight , okay ? in person . [ scene_break ] steffy : she changed her mind about moving up the ceremony . liam , i am so sorry . why would she change her mind ? liam : hope for the future . steffy : she wants to make you wait because of her clothing line ? that is totally not fair . liam : i do n't know . i do n't know , steffy . it makes sense to her , okay ? steffy : well , not to me . liam : god , i thought i had this all figured out , you know ? i - i thought we would be married in a couple of days . steffy : oh , my god , this is exactly what i told you . she shows you where she stands , and , liam , it is not with you . i mean , she is being so selfish and -- and immature . liam : okay , you know what ? stop it . stop it , steffy ! you stop it ! you do n't get to talk trash about her . do you understand me ? you do n't get to do that . please just -- i ca n't -- just not now . i just ca n't -- i ca n't take it right now , okay ? god , i ask her to do this one thing ... [ scene_break ] brooke : honey , you did n't tell him the good news . hope : well , i want to do it in person . brooke : what if he is angry ? hope : oh , mom , i mean , he was disappointed , but he 'll be okay . brooke : not if he 's been stewing about it for hours . hope : oh , it 's -- its fine . he 's going to a party , and that gives me time to go to his place , and i 'll -- i 'll set everything up and make it beautiful and special , and when he gets home , i 'll be ready . brooke : ok . i 'm not sure that 's the best scenario . what if he comes home drunk ? hope : oh , mom . brooke : you said he 's going to a party . who knows when he 'll get home ? hope : oh , mom , it 's fine . it 's perfect , actually , because it gives me time to go home and pack a few things . brooke : pack ? ( scoffs ) hope : yes . yeah , i - i mean this is n't just me being with him for the first time . it 's ... i mean , i want to move in . we 're starting our married lives together , even though it 's not technically official yet . mom , thank you so much for encouraging me to take this step . liam will be so happy when he comes home and i tell him . everything changes tonight . ( sighs ) ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : you do n't want me to talk trash about hope ? i wo n't . i do n't need to . her actions have said enough . liam : i ca n't believe she 's doing this after getting my hopes up . steffy : this is a preview into your marriage . liam , she 's going to make promises to you . she 's going to string you along . but you know what ? she 's going to have it her way . and just believe me , i know . i 've lived it . just get out of this relationship . liam : no . steffy : you do n't have to tie yourself to her , liam . come on . liam : well , steffy , you know what ? i love her , and i want to marry her , so you tell me . steffy : well , a lot more than she wants to marry you , obviously ! liam : i ca n't walk away , okay ? i 've made promises . steffy : i get that . but she made a promise , too , and it was so easy for her to break it . liam , she keeps making you wait , and you do n't have to wait to be loved . no . cause i 'm ready -- not a few weeks , not in a few months . right here , right now -- my love , my commitment for life . look at me . leave hope , all right ? get away from a future that is not gon na make you happy . liam , start a life with me . you know how i feel . i love you . liam : ( sighs ) | hope calls a quick meeting at forrester ; she has an announcement to make . she realizes it is short notice , but she would like to move the wedding up . ridge says sorry , but too many plans have been made . she 's disappointed for liam , but they all tell her it will be okay . brooke even suggests that although it is not official and she wo n't be married but she could give herself permission to make it a physical relationship now . liam is anxious to tell bill about his huge news about moving up the wedding . bill does not see that this will be in forrester 's best interest with the hope line and all . liam tells him do not try to change this ; he is going to get married sooner rather than later . bill changes gear and insists on throwing him the mother of all bachelor parties tonight . steffy walks in and hear this . steffy still does n't believe that hope will give him what he wants . he 's not worried , so she and bill should n't be either . liam calls hope and she gives him the bad news . once again steffy points out to liam that hope has changed her mind and is manipulating him again . it 's totally unfair . liam tells her to stop it . she does not get to trash talk hope . steffy says she does n't have to . hope 's actions speaks enough . she will string him along and have her own way . steffy says he does not have to wait months , or weeks , she is ready for him right now . they kiss . |
hope : do you have any idea what you 're asking ? wyatt : i could n't just stand by and let you -- hope : let me what ? marry the man that i 've been trying to marry for what feels like forever ? wyatt : [ scoffs ] hope : steffy signed the annulment papers , and now you want me to -- wyatt : wait . yes . wait . just give yourself a chance to -- hope : a chance to what ? to fall out of love with liam and in love with you ? wyatt : a few months . if you ca n't live without me by then , well ... it 's not too much to ask , is it ? [ scene_break ] bill : so , how did you hear about steffy signing the annulment papers ? text ? e - mail ? i assume there was no phone call or skyping . that would have been too hard on steffy . and maybe too hard on you , as well . liam : yeah . i 'm always gon na treasure what steffy and i had . bill : but it 's always been hope for you . liam : honestly , any other girl would have given up by now . hell , hope should have given up after all i 've put her through . bill : well , spencer men are worth the effort ... and the wait . just ask brooke . [ scene_break ] brooke : wyatt does realize hope and liam 's history . quinn : how complicated it 's been , you mean . brooke : liam has been the love of hope 's life . quinn : but he married someone else -- someone he 's still married to . brooke : but the divorce is going to be final in a few months . quinn : [ chuckling ] a lot can happen in a few months , brooke , as we both know . brooke : is that what wyatt 's hoping ? i mean , the odds of something happening between wyatt and hope ... not that wyatt is n't a fine young man , because he is . you should be proud . quinn : oh , i am . i am . i 'm very proud of my son -- that he knows his own mind and that he knows his heart . i just -- i wonder if hope can say the same . brooke : no , no , no . [ chuckling ] you have n't . really , it 's fine . its j -- -- hope has always known who she 's wanted . quinn : see , i 've said too much . now i 've offended you . brooke : no , no , no . [ chuckling ] you have n't . really , it 's fine . it 's just -- wyatt is your son , and he 's enamored with hope . and given the way they met -- it was kind of humorous and fairy - tale - like , so ... it 's understandable . but hope is in love with liam . quinn : and you do n't think it 's possible that a woman can love two men at the same time ? [ scene_break ] liam : would it bug you if i told you a part of me still hopes you and katie find your way back together ? bill : would it bug you if i said the same about you and steffy ? liam : okay . point taken . i wo n't weigh - in on your love life . maybe you 'll show me and hope the same courtesy . bill : mm . well , you already know how i feel about hope . but seeing as she is brooke 's daughter -- liam : come on ! who are you kidding ? she 's got to be growing on you by now . bill : like a wart . liam : oh , dad , god . bill : i just want to know that she can make you happy for a lifetime . you sure she can ? liam : you think i 'd want to marry her right away if i were n't ? [ scene_break ] wyatt : we 're all young here , hope . you do n't have to rush down the aisle . you just take some time . let things shake out . hope : what things ? wyatt : i know mr . sensitive . his marriage with someone who he loved is legally ending . you do n't just turn the page on something like that -- not if you 're liam . hope : oh . now you 're thinking about your brother 's feelings . okay . wyatt : hey , i got a big heart . hope : uh - huh . wyatt : so big that i am willing to look after his fiancée while he 's working out all the things that he needs to work out . hope : i do n't even want to know what that entails . wyatt : i know there 's something between us . and i believe you know that , too . just give us some time ... see where this can go . [ scene_break ] liam : listen , hope and i are getting married right away . i 'm not gon na disappoint her again . bill : i get that , but , you know , taking your time , enjoying your engagement -- liam : engagement ? [ chuckles ] we got the engagement thing down pat . we just want to say our vows , get on with our married life without any drama . bill : you worried steffy might cause some problems ? liam : no . bill : then what ? liam : [ chuckles ] then nothing . i - i just ... i 'm kind of getting a sense of what i put hope through all those years . wyatt -- he told me that until she says `` i do , `` hope is fair game . and it 's not -- you know , it 's not that that worries me . i mean , i know she wants to spend the rest of her life with me . it 's just ... bill : you wish your brother were n't so damn persistent ? [ scene_break ] brooke : sorry . pam could n't find eric or rick , so ... quinn : well , it 's up to you to make the important decisions when they ca n't . brooke : yeah . i 'm sure it 's the same with you and wyatt . one signs off on things when the other ca n't . quinn : honestly , i just leave all of that up to wyatt . he has a knack of getting what he wants . plus , he 's passionate and he 's driven -- attributes that will serve forrester well in its partnership with quinn artisan jewelers . oh , and , of course , i have some great ideas of my own . but , if you do n't mind , i 'd love to hear just a little bit more about hope and hope for the future . obviously , the line reflects her values . brooke : values any mother would be incredibly proud of her daughter embracing ... and living her life by . she 's been an incredible role model for so many young women . she 's really made a difference and is making a difference . quinn : not just for young women . no wonder my son is so taken with her . [ chuckles ] brooke : as is liam . [ chuckles ] practically from the very first moment they met . and , yes , there have been detours along the way , but liam does love hope . and he wants to make her happy . quinn : well , that 's all any mother can ask . although , i have to say that , uh ... i think wyatt can do the same thing for hope . brooke : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] wyatt : i 'm not asking much . okay . i 'm being presumptuous as all hell , but -- hope : but why should that stop you ? wyatt : say i 'm wrong . say that there are n't any feelings between us and i 'll walk away . hope : no , you wo n't . you 'll come back stronger than ever . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i do n't hear you denying it . hope : denying what ? wyatt : that there are feelings and that jumping into a marriage like this is -- hope : jumping ? jumping ? ! wyatt , liam and i have been trying to get married for a very long time . wyatt : maybe that should tell you something . hope : or maybe it just means that after everything he and i have been through , we appreciate each other even more . besides , you and i -- we 're , you know -- we 're -- we 're different . i 'm -- i want children . i 'm excited for that chapter in my life . i 've always seen myself as a mom with a bunch of kids , you know , still working on hope for the future , of course . wyatt : hope ... you can have all of that with me . plus , i 'm a lot easier to cook for . no tofu burgers or kale or -- hope : i like tofu burgers . wyatt : okay . then i 'll eat them . i 'll eat them if that 's what you 're making or i 'm making them -- whoever 's making them . hope : [ laughs ] wyatt : i 'm not gon na stop until you ... put things on hold . hope : [ sighs ] wyatt , things have been put on hold too many times . i -- hey . i 'm not gon na do that again . i 'm not gon na do that to liam or to the life that we 've planned . wyatt : what about the life that we could have ? i can make you happy , hope . i can do things that liam ca n't . hope : wyatt ... i do like you . i do . i think you 're fascinating and you 're charming and ... wyatt : sexy ? hope : but ... wyatt : you 're gon na marry liam anyway ... now that he 's a free man . hope : i 'm sorry . wyatt : does my brother have a clue how lucky he is ? [ scene_break ] bill : well , wyatt is a spencer , so he knows what he wants , and he goes for it . but , liam , in this situation , it 's nothing more than some harmless sibling rivalry . liam : harmless sibl -- have you not heard of cain and abel ? bill : wyatt does n't stand a chance with hope . i know that and , more importantly , so do you . liam : yeah , i do . no , i do . i know that . i know that . and maybe once hope and i are married and wyatt licks his wounds a little bit , we can start working on the brother thing -- you know , repair some damage . that would certainly make hope happy , and i 'm telling you , that 's what i 'm all about now -- making my beautiful bride - to - be as happy as possible . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] quinn : oh ! you will never guess where i have just been . i realize it was a little forward of me to just show up on her doorstep out of the blue -- oh , wait ! before i forget , here is your updated forrester creations security pass . enrique wanted me to give that to you . wyatt : enrique ? quinn : enrique . head of security . they 're amping up security for the all- important hope for the future fashion show . wyatt : right . quinn : they want to avoid any pre - show leaks . which , by the way , i do n't want to brag , but your mom 's got her own security pass , as well , now that we 're an integral part of the forrester creative team . ooh ! i love saying that ! just think , all of these amazing things are happening because you found hope unconscious in the woods and you kissed her awake like a modern - day prince charming . brooke mentioned something about that , too , when i was sitting with her . wyatt : wait . you went -- you went to see brooke ? quinn : yes . i just told you that . have you not been listening ? wyatt : i - i -- quinn : yes ! i went to go and see her because i wanted to get better acquainted . she really is a lovely woman . and her daughter 's biggest fan , which i had to admit , of course , that i was not at first , but after listening to all these great things about hope from her mother , you know , you 're really right , sweetheart . i mean , hope is an extraordinary young woman . wyatt : mom , listen , about that -- quinn : and now that we 're all going to be working together and our little company is going to get the big break that it deserves because of the forresters -- wyatt : okay , okay , stop . stop , please , okay ? there 's something i got to tell you . liam 's wife signed the annulment papers . hope 's agreed to marry him asap . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt : we ca n't get too attached to hope for the future . and i ca n't get too attached to hope . [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't know what i was expecting , exactly , but i have to say , after my first visit with quinn fuller , i find out that she 's as fascinating as she is talented . [ sighs ] of course , it helps that she 's come to her senses about you . she finds you extremely remarkable . hope : [ sighs ] mom ... brooke : that 's probably why she was lobbying for you and wyatt . hope : what ? brooke : she said that wyatt is very happy because of you , and he even talked about marriage -- something he never speaks about . hope : [ chuckles ] brooke : and , of course , i had to remind quinn that you 're engaged to be married to liam and the waiting period is almost over . hope : well , actually , it already is . she did it , mom . steffy signed the annulment papers , and now liam and i are getting married right away . brooke : [ laughing ] no ! oh , honey . hope : you should see your expression . brooke : are you sure about this ? hope : yes . yes ! brooke : oh , honey , i am so happy for you . hope : thank you . mm . brooke : who else knows ? hope : um , just you and , uh , bill . i mean , i 'm sure that 's where liam was headed . i , um -- oh . uh , actually , one other person does know . wyatt . he overheard liam and me talking about the annulment , and , mom , he asked me to wait . wyatt asked me to give him a chance . [ door opens ] brooke : liam ! hope : hey , babe ! liam : did you tell your mom ? hope : yeah , of course i did . did you tell your dad ? liam : yeah . the guy 's already planning the bachelor party . not that we 're gon na have any time for it . hope : mm . liam : especially since there 's someone -- certain someone we all know and love who happens to be a whiz at planning weddings extra quickly . what do you say , brooke ? you want to help us out ? we 've waited long enough . brooke : of course . i have the wedding planner on speed dial . and i could have father fontana come out , and he would be here in a jiffy , and he could restore his track record of everlasting marriages . [ laughter ] liam : sure . hope : oh , my god . liam : you know , she 's not wrong . it 's been a long road for us , and that 's ... mostly 'cause of me . um , but we 're -- hey , listen . we 're past that now . i am going to love and cherish you until i am old and gray and my teeth are falling out and i 'm suffering from dementia ... hope : i get it . you know what ? i get it . i get it . [ giggles ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] quinn : we ca n't let that happen , sweetheart . wyatt : it 's true , mom . everything that 's come into our life recently thanks to hope or hope for the future can vanish once liam becomes her husband . my brother does n't like me . and once -- once they get married , all it will take is a push to get her to cut ties with me , with you , with our company . quinn : eric is not going to let that happen . he 's not gon na let liam dictate what 's best for forrester creations because he 's hope 's husband . wyatt : which is only days away from happening . because steffy finally gave liam what he wanted . quinn : okay , well , what about hope , huh ? what does she want ? there 's something undeniable between the two of you . you said so yourself . wyatt : and i still believe that . it 's why i asked her to wait , just to give us some time , but she 's still gon na marry him asap . quinn : we ca n't let that happen . wyatt : [ scoffs ] there 's nothing we can do , mom . quinn : yes , there is . the hope diamond . the most famous diamond in the world . honey , i have been thinking about hope and the rebranding of her line . wyatt : hope -- hope diamond . hope for the future . and we know there 's a second hope diamond in mexico . ricardo . quinn : if we can get it on loan here and present it to the world , it would be perfect . wyatt : yeah . quinn : you need to go and see ricardo . you need to bring hope with you . wyatt : [ scoffs ] quinn : you need to spend some time alone with her and show her the kind of man that you are . baby , that diamond -- it has powers . and this could be an adventure -- one that can change your lives forever . wyatt : [ chuckles ] | quinn tells brooke that she is proud of her son . he knows what he wants and where his heart is . she only hopes that hope does too . liam is still married to steffy so it 's not over yet . bill wants to know from liam that hope can make liam happy . he assures him that she does otherwise he would not be ready to get married again so soon when the annulment papers arrive . they have this engagement down pat ; now they just want to get married . he confesses that wyatt worries him a little . he said until he has a ring on hope 's finger that she was fair game . wyatt reminds hope one more time that there is something between them and he will be happy to fill in for liam while liam takes his time to sort all of this out . he quips that he 's also a lot easier to cook for . she wo n't have to cook tofu - burgers although he would even eat them for her . he says he can make her happy , he can do things that liam ca n't so all he is asking is that she put her marriage on hold . she says she ca n't do that ; she wo n't do that to liam after all they have been through . wyatt accepts it as hope gives him a little kiss on the cheek . he wonders if liam has a clue just how lucky he is . he gives her a hug . bill tells liam that wyatt is a spencer . he knows what he wants and goes after it but this is just a little sibling rivalry . liam asks if he has seen heard of cain and abel . okay he 'll lay off wyatt for now and just concentrate on making hope happy . |
liam : you have n't told wyatt you 're pregnant . we 're the only ones who know right now . hope : right , but , liam , what you 're saying -- liam : but he -- he does n't have to find out . i mean , i know this is -- this is hard to hear , but you would n't have any ties to him anymore , and after everything that we 've been through , we could finally be together . hope , there 's just -- there 's one thing you have to understand . if you have wyatt 's baby ... it 's the end of us .

[ scene_break ] quinn : you do n't have to worry about wyatt . he 's not gon na lose hope over this . ivy : do you really think that ? quinn : nothing 's changed . ivy : quinn , the only reason wyatt and hope got married is because liam did n't make it to the eiffel tower on time . quinn : no , no , no , no . that 's not true . hope loves wyatt . they would have ended up together eventually . i just helped speed things along . excuse me . ivy : did it feel good ? quinn : what ? ivy : pushing me . quinn : [ sighs ] ivy : i mean , we both know that there was an ulterior motive . quinn : what ? ivy : jealousy . quinn : [ laughs ] ivy : think about it . i have your job . i 'm the one designing jewelry for forrester creations now . i 'm working with your son . quinn : oh , see , i needed a damsel in distress . this had nothing to do with you , ivy `` forrester . `` ivy : wow . you really are obsessed , are n't you ? quinn : [ laughing ] obsessed ? no . i 'm a mother . i do n't expect you to understand . you 're not a mother . ivy : no , but i do have a mother who cares about me and who does n't push people into rivers for some warped sense that it might make me feel happy . quinn : yeah , well , maybe we 're not reading the same parenting books . have you -- have you said everything you came here to say ? because i got things to do . ivy : just do n't ever come near me again , quinn , because it was n't just hope , wyatt , and liam 's life that you manipulated . it was mine , too . quinn : and you 're complaining ? you should be thanking me . ivy : excuse me ? quinn : i did you a favor . ivy : you pushed me off a bridge . quinn : i gave you a shot with a guy you were never gon na have a shot with before . come on . we both know that you like liam .

liam : whoa ! what is -- what do you mean , why not ? what -- y - you think he does ? brooke : i just want to make sure you 're not rushing into marriage with hope out of a knee - jerk reaction to wyatt ! liam : brooke ! no , i 'm rushing into marriage with hope because we waited long enough , and that 's my fault ! but we 're ready ! i mean , she 's ready ! i 'm ready ! uh , is -- is there something you know that i do n't ? brooke : as far as i know , she 's not romantically interested in wyatt . liam : yeah . i -- right . of course . i know that . i just -- brooke : [ chuckles ] liam : just a little creepy how open he is about wanting to take her away from me . brooke : well , at least you can see him coming ! liam : yeah . does n't matter ! does n't matter . you know what ? uh , hope and i are getting married , and there 's nothing wyatt can do to stop it , anyway . hope : you want to give me a diamond . wyatt : mm - hmm . big . hope : oh , well , that 's very generous , but i 've already got one . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , not the one that we have in mind . see , mom and i want quinn artisan jewelers to make a real contribution to the hope for the future global success , and we think we have an idea for that . if i ask you what 's the most famous diamond in the world , you 'd say ... ? eric : oh , no question . the hope diamond . hope : mm - hmm . wyatt : and what if i told you there was another one , remarkably similar -- a blue diamond ? it 's not as big as the original . it 's 40 carats , as opposed to 45.52 . it 's not as flawless . the hope diamond is vs1 clarity . this one is vs2 . it 's nothing detectable by the naked eye . quinn : and up until now , it 's been in a private collection for years . can -- can i use your tablet ? eric : yeah , sure . wyatt : but we could change that ! and i guarantee you that the reveal will be epic ! eric : are you suggesting we buy this diamond ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , not unless you have $ 100 million lying around that you do n't know what to do with ! but there is a strong possibility that we could borrow it . quinn : yes . we know the owner , um , of the diamond . he 's a supplier we 've worked with in mexico . wyatt : mm - hmm . and using the right persuasion technique , we might be able to convince him to let us take it out on loan . quinn : yes -- put it on display in the beverly hills boutique . wyatt : and partner it with the re - branding . quinn : yes , and with the upcoming fashion show -- `` ladies and gentlemen , presenting the hope for the future diamond . `` wyatt : oh , they 'll be lined up both sides of rodeo drive ! eric : you are innovative thinkers . i like that . but we ca n't just take a $ 100-million diamond and slap it in some display case ! i mean , the security concerns are enormous ! wyatt : well , we could vault it at night and surround it by guards during the day . trust me -- the payoff will be well worth the cost . quinn : take a look . eric : [ chuckles ] hope : oh , my god ! i have never seen anything like this . eric : it 's stunning . and the similarity to the original is -- it 's right on the nose ! hope : [ gasps ] eric : uh , authentication ? quinn : you 'll have it . wyatt : and it 's the perfect tie - in to the line ... right down to the name . quinn : mm - hmm . talk about creating buzz for the fashion show . hope : a - a - and you 're sure we can get it ? wyatt : with a little help from my secret weapon . hope : what 's that ? wyatt : you . come with me . our -- our friend in mexico will be enamored . you can come down and see the diamond , and then we 'll bring it back together . liam : so , wedding planner extraordinaire , how quickly you think you 're gon na pull this one off ? brooke : [ laughs ] do you really have to ask ? ! liam : i am so sorry ! what am i doing questioning your skills ! that 's so thoughtless of me ! by the way , that last attempt in malibu -- that must 've been some kind of record . brooke : overnight , i believe . liam : yeah , let 's do that ! let 's make that happen again ! break out the banners ! get the caterer over here ! let 's make this happen ! brooke : yes ! your enthusiasm is infectious ! liam : well , jump on in ! the water 's fine ! brooke : i want to ! [ laughs ] i will . liam : you 're just ... not entirely confident i 'm not gon na screw it up this time , too . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'll say this . do n't screw it up . because if you do , you 're gon na lose her this time . and i do n't want to see that happen . i think you guys are a great couple . and you 've been through a lot , and you still want to be married , and that speaks volumes . liam : [ exhales ] brooke : just do n't mistake her love for weakness . liam : yeah . i , uh -- i totally appreciate your concern . but i know what i want , brooke . and it 's what i 've always wanted . it 's your daughter . it 's to spend my life with her and no one else . brooke : fully committed . liam : i 've never been more committed -- are you kidding me ? -- or grateful that this woman , this amazing woman , chose me , wants me , waited for me , agreed to marry me ! brooke ... i am so ready ... to be the husband hope deserves . hope : okay , you want me to drop everything and go to mexico with you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you have to . ricardo montemayor is one of the most influential gemstone dealers in the world . he wo n't loan out the diamond if he does n't know who 's borrowing it . hope : you guys have worked with him before ! i 'm sure you can convince him ! quinn : uh , well , wyatt is right . he 's gon na want to meet you , the face of hope for the future . besides , you should see the stone and make an informed decision . hope : [ sighs ] the timing right now is just awful ! i 'm -- i 'm in the middle of planning a wedding ! wyatt : well , you can take a break , and then we 'll resume when we get back ! hope : well , you know that 's not the only reason . if i go to mexico with you , liam 's head will explode . wyatt : he either trusts you , or he does n't . it 's better to know now , before you go promising forever . quinn : and liam should understand this is business . what do you think , eric ? eric : well , i think before we commit any forrester resources to bringing this diamond in , somebody should see it ! i ca n't get away right now . hope , if this idea appeals to you , then you need to be the one to go see it . hope : [ sighs ] it 's just a meeting , right ? wyatt : just long enough to see the diamond , persuade ricardo to let us take it , and we 'll be back . eric : i 'll put the jet at your disposal . wyatt : what do you say ? hope : well ... it is a business trip . wyatt : so , you 'll go ? hope : yes . okay . yeah . i 'll go . wyatt : good . eric : i 'll call the pilot . hope : and looks like i 'm rearranging my schedule ! wyatt : mm - hmm ! quinn : brilliant ! wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : mexico , the power of the diamond -- this is where your life with hope begins . | hope says she can not wrap her mind around it . she had pretty much given up on steffy ever changing her mind and signing the annulment papers . liam says they are going to move forward and he 's making a promise to make every moment meaningful . brooke interrupts for a moment and ca n't be too happy for them . hope realizes she is late and needs to be at work . liam implores brooke to hurry up and get them married as soon as possible . nothing nor any one can stop them now . brooke nixes a quick vegas drive - by wedding . liam says he is not ruling out anything , but if she will plan it then he will show up . he 's really glad she is going to be his mother - in - law . she 's glad too but she has had to stand by so many times while hope got hurt where steffy was involved , so she wants to make sure he has no unresolved feeling for steffy . he assures her he does n't have those feelings for steffy , only hope . brooke says that is good but she hopes he is not making a knee - jerk reaction to wyatt . he says no , at this stage not even wyatt can put a damper on his plans . he 's entirely confident he is not going to screw up this time . brooke says good . she does not want to see him screw up , but do n't mistake hope 's love for weakness . he says he has never been so committed . this woman chose him and wants to marry him . he 's so ready to be the husband that hope deserves . |
hope : i 'm sorry . oh , my god . i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry that i 'm putting you through this . liam : it 's okay . whatever it is , you can tell me . it 'll be all right . hope : i 'm pregnant . bill : liam ? liam ! liam : out here . bill : would you answer me when i call you ? liam : i just did . bill : talk to hope ? liam : i did . bill : you tell her about quinn ? liam : yeah . bill : and ? i just saw brooke . she , uh ... she 's pretty confident you guys are gon na get back together . liam : yeah , so was i . bill : was ? what -- where 's hope ? liam : not here . wyatt : [ sighs ] you came back . hope : have you been waiting ? wyatt : not the whole time . i 've also been not calling you , not texting you , and pacing a groove in the floor over there . hope : i 'm really sorry that i left . i should n't have done that . wyatt : no . no , you were overwhelmed . what my mother did , following liam to paris and pushing ivy into the seine , it 's a -- it 's a whole new brand of crazy . hope : i went to liam 's . wyatt : i figured . but now you 're here . that 's either very good news or ... you 're here to ... get your stuff . ivy : how do you think hope will react ? aly : everyone thought your fall into the seine was an accident . when hope finds out you were pushed , she will be furious . ivy : furious enough to leave wyatt and go back to liam ? aly : i know this is n't what you want to hear ... but i think she will . it 's their history , ivy . hope and wyatt just do n't have a deep connection like that . ivy : wyatt is not a consolation prize . hope has real feelings for him . aly : but they ca n't compare to what she has with liam . ivy : [ scoffs ] she married wyatt . she made a commitment . aly : yeah , under false pretenses . it does n't count . aly : oh , you sound just like liam . aly : i 'm sorry , ivy . ivy : do n't be . i knew exactly what i was getting myself into . well , i should have . hope is a logan . maybe it 's true what people say about them -- they can have any man they want , and then they just never let go . liam : hope left , dad . she 's -- she 's not coming back . bill : where did she go ? liam : where do you think ? bill : back to wyatt . she 's not leaving him . liam : no , it 's , uh ... [ chuckles ] it 's too late for that . bill : because they 're married . liam : they 've been married for a while , you know ? they 've been making plans , building a life together . building it on a lie , but ... but they 've moved on . and , god , i - i thought hope and i could turn back the clock . i really did . and i was wrong . wyatt : okay , before you say anything , i need to be honest with you about something . hope : okay . wyatt : my mother showed up after you left . hope : [ sighs ] what did you tell her ? wyatt : that if you did n't come back i 'd blame her . hope : that must have been very upsetting for her . wyatt : yeah , it was . but right in the middle of all her excuses , she actually said something that made sense . look , what she did was despicable and dangerous and just disgusting . but that does n't change how we felt when we made our vows , and all the amazing days that we 've had since then . hope , you did n't marry me because liam did n't show up on time . that 's not you . that 's not how you make decisions . we are together for a reason . and it has nothing to do with my mother or liam . ivy : i wo n't be mad at hope if she decides to take liam back . aly : well , i guess that 's good , because i think she will . you should check on him . ivy : no , i - i ca n't . i ... aly : okay . then i will . ivy : aly , do n't . i just -- aly : look , if he does n't want to talk , he wo n't answer . [ cell phone rings ] bill : do n't answer that . we 're in the middle of this , liam . [ ringing continues ] liam : hey , aly . oh , it 's you . i - i thought i 'd get your voicemail . liam : ivy told you about quinn ? aly : yeah . i ca n't believe it . bill : tell her to call back later . aly : is that your dad ? liam : yeah . yeah , we 're kind of in the middle of something . aly : is hope there , too ? liam : no , she left . aly : back to wyatt 's . liam : uh , yeah . i would n't -- i would n't call her right now , though . aly : oh , wow . so ... she 's ending the marriage . liam : no . aly : wait , she 's not ? liam : um , listen , aly , i - i got to -- i got to -- i got to call you back . i 'm in the middle of something . aly : yeah , yeah . okay , i understand . bye . ivy : what ? what -- what happened ? aly : nothing . he told hope what quinn did and it did n't change anything . wyatt : liam wants to blame my mom for all this . he believes that everything that happened is a mistake . hope : well , i ca n't see it that way . wyatt : neither can i . hope : but we were manipulated . wyatt : i know . and that brought up a lot of old stuff for you and liam , that -- that you 'd be together if only ... whatever . but i do n't believe that , hope . whatever you and liam had in the past , you chose a future with me . hope : i did , but you have to admit that what your mom did was wrong . wyatt : yes , it was . but we 're not . i mean ... have i made you unhappy ? hope : no . wyatt : dissatisfied you as a husband ? hope : no . not at all . wyatt : and i promise you , i never will . hope : and promise that nothing like this will ever , ever happen again ? wyatt : [ sighs ] hope : i 'm serious , wyatt . it 's got to stop . your mother 's involvement with everything , this tug - of - war between you and liam -- wyatt : i know . hope : do n't get me wrong , i realize that i put myself in the middle of it . i know i did . by dating both of you , accepting the diamond from you , giving liam the ultimatum . but it can not be like that anymore . wyatt : all of that changed when you married me . hope : except it did n't . because what your mom has -- has done -- wyatt : that does n't change the facts of what happened . hope : yeah , exactly . your -- your mom pushed ivy off a bridge . wyatt : but she did n't push you off the stella maris . she did n't make you stand up there and hold your hand out to me . you asked me to take a leap of faith with you and i did . and i 'd do it again and again and again without a second of hesitation . because that 's what faith is . i do n't need to know what 's in our future to know that i want to share it with you . ivy : so , how did he sound ? aly : he did n't want to talk about it . ivy : but you 're certain that hope is n't gon na leave wyatt ? aly : that 's what he said . right after he told me not to call her . ivy : oh , liam was certain this was his chance . aly : i do n't understand . hope broke up with wyatt the last time quinn did something crazy like this . ivy : but hope was n't married to wyatt then . look , as bad as i feel for liam , i kind of respect hope for sticking to her commitment . aly : yeah . yeah , so would i . if she had n't been tricked into it . ivy : no , aly , i do n't think we can call this a trick . aly : she was going to choose liam . she was waiting for him and he was right there , ivy . and if he showed her the video , she could see that . she could see quinn knock you off the bridge . i mean , how does that not matter ? ivy : well , maybe it just does n't matter as much as we thought it would . aly : it meant everything to liam . ivy : did you say his dad was with him ? aly : yeah , probably pouring salt in his wounds . ivy : no , bill would n't do that . aly : he never wanted liam and hope together . he 's probably telling liam how lucky he is to finally have her out of his life once and for all . bill : i 'm sorry , son . liam : you know , you do n't have to pretend like this is bad news for me . bill : liam , if it hurts you , it hurts me . liam : even if it makes wyatt happy ? bill : wyatt is n't happy about ... wyatt is n't happy about the way it happened . he 's disgusted by his mother 's behavior just like we all are . she 'll never mess with you again . liam : [ laughs ] that 's 'cause there 's nothing left for her to do . nothing left for anyone to do . [ sighs ] any chance that hope and i had was gone before pam and charlie even showed me that video . bill : so , what now ? liam : i focus on work . you teach me to skydive or rock - climb or however it is that you keep your mind off brooke . bill : you want a drink ? liam : no , not right now . bill : could call my boxing trainer . liam : [ scoffs ] i 've already had one gut punch today . no thanks . bill : you know ... you really did n't get hit with anything new . hope and wyatt were already married . nothing 's really changed . liam : i know . i know . that 's the thing . i thought it would . well , when the truth came out , i really ... i really believed that what 's right and fair and good would win out in the end , and now i ... i do n't know what to believe . wyatt : there 's no going back for me , hope . hope : what your mother did does n't make you question anything ? wyatt : she made a bad choice . you did n't . hope : but we did n't have all the facts . wyatt : i love you . that is a fact . i want a life with you , and kids , and a partnership as successful as eric and stephanie 's . hope : [ chuckles ] oh , is that all ? wyatt : that is everything . that is my life now . us . everything that we can experience and -- and all the things that we can create . the incredible , unexpected adventures and journeys and ... what ? hope : it 's ... nothing . you just -- you know i 've always been a - a planner . wyatt : okay . okay , so let 's plan . let 's make a list . what 's first ? hope : you know , i feel like we 're already getting ahead of ourselves . wyatt : okay , okay . then we 'll slow down . we 'll slow down . we 'll ... we 'll get away , you know ? away from my mother and liam . just us . you and me . the two of us . just say the word . tell me what you want . you know what my mother did . you know how liam feels . i need to know where you stand . what do you want to do ? aly : you need to go over there . liam will need somebody to talk to . ivy : well , he 's with his father . aly : at least call him . do n't you want to ? ivy : yes . aly : you were there for him before . ivy : and if he needs me there again , then i will be . aly : ivy , he 's heartbroken . i - i could hear it in his voice . ivy : liam thought that that video of quinn was a lifeline , like it was going to solve all of his and hope 's problems . aly : you see ? you understand what he 's going through . ivy : i do n't want him to think that i want something . aly : you 're his friend . ivy : no , we got closer than that . we did . and then wyatt had this idea about the house , and then charlie and pam drop this bombshell about quinn . aly : and liam went back to hope . ivy : he was n't ready to let go of her . but now -- now maybe he can , if hope is willing to let him get on with his life . aly : it sounds like she is . ivy : look , i wo n't push him . i 'll just -- i 'll listen , just like i did on the plane back from paris . [ sighs ] i hate that he 's going through this again . he 's just such a wonderful guy . he deserves to be happy . and he will be . he will be once he works through this and he can see that there is life after hope . hope : i will love you forever . wyatt : i want to put this behind us -- what my mother did , liam 's reaction , your doubt . hope : not doubt . wyatt : uncertainty , then . hope : not about you . wyatt : but there 's something . hope : it 's not anything that we need to get into tonight . wyatt : okay . okay , so , where do we go from here ? hope : i do n't know . i do n't know . this is all such new territory for me . wyatt : okay , well , how about this -- let 's just not think about it . let 's not think about it . like our wedding day . no more promises , no more vows . let 's just go for it . we 'll figure it out . hope : how do you do that ? wyatt : what ? hope : how are you always so confident about things ? wyatt : well , that look 's not making me feel particularly confident . hope : sorry . i 'm sorry . wyatt : no , it 's ... i 'm sorry . i - i ... probably scared you . all this talk about a house and the kids . and then you get this revelation about my mother . i 'm sure your head 's spinning right now . hope : a little bit . but you know what ? that 's what you do to me . and that 's what life is going to be like with you . it 's just one surprise after another . wyatt : and that 's such a bad thing ? wait . and that 's what -- that 's what life is going to be like with me ? are you staying ? hope : yes . wyatt : yes ? yes . hope : yes . wyatt : yes . hope : yes . wyatt : [ chuckles ] hope : you are my husband . and i love you . and i 'm committed to this marriage and our future and our family . wyatt : i was n't sure if that was what you wanted . if you were there yet or not . hope : i am . this is where i need to be . wyatt : i 'll make you so happy , hope . we 're gon na have an amazing life together . and someday ... maybe a family of our own . hope : yes , we will . | liam relives the moment when hope tells him she is pregnant . then he realizes that bill is hollering at him from the front door . bill says he just saw brooke and she is pretty confident he and hope are going to get back together . hope arrives home . wyatt seems surprised that she came home . she asks if he has been waiting . he says not all night . he has n't been texting , he has n't been calling her but he has worn a groove in the floor over there . she says she is sorry she left . she should not have done that . he says no , he understood . she was overwhelmed by what his mother did following liam to paris and pushing ivy into the seine , a whole new kind of crazy . she says she went to liam 's . he says he figured that out but now she is here . he asks if it is very good news or is she here to get her stuff . at forrester , ivy asks aly how does she think hope will re - act . aly says they all thought it was an accident but when hope finds out quinn pushed her , she will not go back to wyatt . she knows she likes liam and this is not what she wants to hear . but hope and liam have a history . ivy says but hope and wyatt made a commitment . aly says yes but under false pretenses so it does n't count . ivy says it 's okay ; she knew what she was getting into . hope is a logan so maybe it 's true what they say . they can have any man they want and then just never let go . liam tells bill that hope left and she is not coming back . and it 's too late for her to come back . he says they have been married for a while now even though it is built on a lie but they have moved on . he agonizes that he really thought they could turn back the clock but he was wrong . wyatt tells hope before she says any more , he needs to tell her something . he locks the door . he says when she left his mother showed up . and he told her if hope did not come back that he would blame quinn . it was very upsetting to her but right in the middle she said something that actually made sense . he says what she did was disgusting and despicable but that does n't change how they felt when they said their vows and all the amazing days they have had since then . he says hope did not marry him because liam did not show up on time . that is not how she makes decisions . they are together for a reason and it has nothing to do with his mother or liam . whatever manipulations she and liam had in the past , she chose a future now with him . she says he has to admit what his mom did was wrong . he says yes , of course but they are n't wrong . he asks if he has ever made her unhappy and she says no ; also no to not making her satisfied as a husband . he says he promises he never will either . she says he also has to promise that nothing like this will ever happen again . she realizes she put herself in this by dating two brothers and then accepting the diamond from wyatt and then liam 's ultimatum but it can not be like that any more . he says he does n't have to know what 's in their future . he just knows that he wants to share it with her . that is what a leap of faith is . aly wants ivy to call liam and when she does n't then aly calls him . she hears just enough to know that hope is not there and she has returned to wyatt and the marriage . ivy says as bad as she feels for liam she is glad that hope is sticking to her commitment . maybe knowing what quinn did did n't matter as much as they thought it would . bill tells liam that he is sorry . liam says he does n't have to pretend this is so bad . bill says if it hurts liam then it hurts him too . and wyatt ca n't be happy with his mother 's behavior just like they rest of them he is disgusted by her . liam chuckles when bill says she will never mess with him again . liam says that is because there is nothing left for her to do . any chance he had with hope was gone long before charlie showed him that video . |

[ chuckles ] dr. li : that 's a lovely thought . caroline : this is just something i 've wanted for such a long time -- you know , being a mom and -- and having a baby . now i get to experience this with -- with ridge and have a baby with him ... the man that i love . he 's changed my life so much . it 's just ... more than i could ever dream of .

[ sighs ] and i did that . it was me , because ... i should have just said , `` i 'm going to the doctor , `` but i did n't . i had to be cute about it and tell her that i was locking in our future . i got her hopes up . brooke : ridge , i 've told you so many times , if you really want to have a family , there are other ways to do it . ridge : that 's not what she wants . no , no , no . she -- she wants to carry my child . that 's what she wants . brooke : i do understand that , but you did tell her that 's not possible , right ? you had the chance to do that ? maybe she does n't know all the details , but she does understand that she ca n't have your baby ?

[ scene_break ] brooke : you did n't tell her about your infertility ? ridge : she left before i could . brooke : oh , my god , ridge ! you knew where she was going . why let her go to the doctor and talk about getting pregnant when she ca n't even -- ridge : i know ! brooke : did you have a chance to tell her anything ? ridge : yeah , i was starting to tell her , and then her phone beeped , and she said she had to go . and i knew where she was going and why , and i just could n't stop her . this is just getting worse by the minute . brooke : it 's getting worse because you have n't been honest ! you did n't tell her about the vasectomy 'cause you thought you could have it reversed . but now you have an infertility problem . so , you see , it 's just becoming a big mess . ridge , you have to face it . you have to face it together . [ scene_break ] caroline : i 'm pregnant ? ! dr. li : yes . caroline : right now ? like , currently , i am pregnant ? dr. li : i 'll want to test your hcg level again in a few days , but the numbers indicate ... caroline : that i 'm having a baby ! dr. li : congratulations . caroline : ohh ! but , like , we were n't even trying , you know ? i mean , we talked about it , but we were n't -- uh ... because we just ... we -- we just got married ... like , not that long ago . oh , no . dr. li : caroline ? is something wrong ? you told me about how much you want to be a mother . i assumed you would be happy about this . caroline : is there any way to tell how far along i am ? dr. li : it 's still very early . caroline : okay , yeah , but how early ? is it a few days , or is it like a few weeks ? please , i - i need to know . dr. li : if you do n't mind , i 'd like to know why . caroline , i 'm your doctor . everything you tell me is confidential . caroline : a few weeks ago [ sighs ] ridge ended things , and , um ... he -- he -- he -- it was a mistake , and he admitted that that was a mistake , but that night , i - i went and stayed at a hotel , and -- and i was really upset , and a guy -- my friend -- came over to check on me , but ... before he got there , i took some antianxiety pills , which i 've -- i 've never done before , and i really did n't know ... how they were gon na affect me . i should n't have opened that bottle of wine . dr. li : something happened ? did this man take advantage ? did he assault you ? caroline : no . no , no , no , no . no . no . it was a mix - up and a huge mistake , and -- and ridge and i got back together the next day , and -- and -- and then i got my -- my period . i mean , it was ... a little bit lighter than i thought was normal , and , but it was on time . it definitely was n't ... late . and so i just -- i put that night behind me , and -- and i married ... the man that i love . i mean , i could have gotten pregnant on my honeymoon , right ? like , that 's a thing . people do that . that happens . dr. li : caroline , what are you asking me ? caroline : is there any chance that the other guy ... could be the father of this baby ? | caroline gushes on and on about soon they will have a baby and he will have ridge 's eyes and goofy smile . ridge tries to sound agreeable but says it might not be that easy . he thinks back and hears brooke 's words that caroline is young and healthy and if she does not get pregnant right away she will figure out something is wrong . so ridge needs to tell her about the vasectomy . brooke tells thomas that he probably needs to wait to give ridge the designs he has finished as ridge needs some privacy as he is with caroline now . nicole tells zende that if he had not kissed her when he did she might have kissed him . they kiss and he says wow he wished he had not waited so long . rick catches them and is glad they are officially a couple now . he says he and maya will be there for them and he invites them to watch a football game which thrills nicole as she is a big bear fan . |
bill : we 're dictating the terms , they 're not dictating the terms . just handle it . come on , now , that 's negotiating 101 . yes , that 's right . just get it done . i do n't want another phone call like this . tell me you have good news for me . brooke : [ sighs ] i should n't be here at all , these secret meetings . if ridge were to find out ... bill : he won't . brooke : or katie . bill : katie 's too busy being engaged to forrester light to even care . all right , i mean , if she found out , she 'd probably come after both of us , but ... what ? brooke : thorne and katie . they set a date for their wedding , and you wo n't believe when . will : tomorrow ? katie : [ laughs ] thorne : yep . your mom wants to make an honest man out of me , asap . will : huh ? katie : i , um , think thorne was trying to make a joke . thorne : well , you should hear my knock - knock jokes . i 've got about 100 of them . katie : [ giggles ] will : uh , no . katie : no . no , no , no . thorne : no ? oh , well . i believe the man of the house has spoken . katie : mm - hmm . will : after tomorrow , i wo n't be . you 're gon na be moving in , right ? thorne : yeah . that 's , uh , usually how it works when two people get married . katie : you know , honey , we really want you to be part of the ceremony . thorne : yeah , but only if you 're comfortable , you know ? no pressure . ridge : when did you hear ? eric : thorne told me last night as soon as he got in . said that he and katie are gon na get married as soon as possible . did he call you ? ridge : yes , he did . eric : were you as surprised to hear this as quinn and i were ? ridge : [ sighs ] surprised ? no . i do n't know . i think it 's a smart choice , considering everything . eric : everything meaning the hearing . ridge : mm - hmm . katie and thorne , a loving couple , versus bill spencer , egomaniac . it 's gon na be a no - brainer for the judge . eric : so you do n't think that love had anything to do with their decision to get married ? ridge : i think it had everything to do with it . and once they 're married and the judge rules in their favor , they can give that little boy what he always wanted -- a man in that house with decency and morality . spencer never had that . eric : i know how much you loathe bill spencer , and for good reason , but what surprises me is how invested you are in this . ridge : you have no idea . katie : you know , um , honey , just because thorne is gon na become your stepfather tomorrow does n't mean that your dad is not still your dad . thorne : yeah . i would never try to take his place . katie : you understand that ? will : yeah . katie : okay . thorne : so you 're okay with the wedding ? katie : i mean , i realize that it 's happening a little fast . thorne : yeah , but i love your mom , and i love you , and i want us to be a family . katie : but we do n't want to rush you if you 're not ready , okay ? will : you 're not rushing me . i like thorne . katie : [ giggles ] will : corny jokes and all . katie : yeah . thorne : [ groans ] will : i just want you to be happy . and thorne makes you happy . so let 's do this . katie : yeah , let 's do this .

[ laughs ] who knows ? maybe there 's a guardian angel somewhere looking out for us . ridge : what can i do ? there is n't a lot of time . but when you 're in love , right ? thorne : thank you . both of you . you know , this is the fresh start that i was hoping for when i came back to l.a . i just never imagined i would find a woman i care so deeply for . and a little boy who kind of feels like my own . ridge : [ chuckles ] thorne : talk about being blessed , right ? [ cellphone rings ] ridge : um , i 'm sorry , i 'm gon na have to take this in private . i 'm sorry . eric : all right , come on . i 'll show you this . come on . ridge : hello ? ridge . it 's craig mcmullen . ridge : hey , craig . how 's it going ? i 'm sure you have some idea , given the favor you asked of me . you 've put me in a very tough spot . ridge : [ sighs ] well , it should n't be . it should be a really simple decision . bill spencer is an awful father , and katie and thorne , they 're getting married . they 're gon na give that little boy a better life . you know how that feels , right , when somebody goes out of their way to give you a better life . right , craig ? you said whatever i needed . well , i need something now . this is it . i want you to give katie , thorne , and that little boy a better life . rule in her favor . can you do that for me ? [ knocks on door ] bill : heard about your little wedding tomorrow . katie : ugh , god . bill : marrying thorne , fighting for full custody ... you got to stop this madness , katie , before it 's too late . eric : hi , brooke . where 's ridge ? brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't know , i just got here . thorne : did you go to katie 's ? did she , uh ... ? brooke : ask me to be her matron of honor ? thorne : did you say yes ? brooke : did ridge say yes when you asked him to be your best man ? thorne : what makes you think i was going to ask him ? brooke : so he said yes . thorne : he did . brooke : well , so did i . thorne : even though you still have issues about the custody case ? brooke : i love will . he is my nephew , and i want the best for him . including a relationship with his father . eric : no one 's suggesting denying him that . brooke : but it could happen , eric . thorne : only if bill drops the ball again , like he did before , forgets he has a little boy . brooke : i 'm not saying that bill is perfect . he 's not . but he cherishes will , and he wants to be in his son 's life . thorne : or so he says , but he has n't been there at all . brooke : my god . you sound just like ridge . you all do . a custody battle should be the last resort . everything else should be tried first . [ sighs ] i just hope that katie and bill can come to some kind of compromise , some kind of middle ground before the hearing . katie : will 's not here , so you might as well leave . bill : not until i talk some sense into you . katie : bill ... bill : you 're out of control , katie . first you file for full custody , now you 're marrying this loser thorne in a nanosecond ? have you even thought about how this is gon na impact will ? katie : how can you even ask me that ? all i do is think about will and how i can give him the best life possible . listen , i do n't want to talk to you about this anymore . the hearing 's in a few days , and thorne and i are getting married tomorrow . bill : yeah , a quickie wedding so you can try and steal my son from me . katie : i 'm not stealing your son , and it 's not a quickie wedding . thorne and i love each other . there 's no reason why we should have to wait to start our lives together . ridge : hey , what 's going on here ? bill : your forresters are like cockroaches . what the hell are you doing here ? ridge : i came to tell katie i 'm gon na be my brother 's best man . katie : aww , thank you . bill : how about a text message ? all right , you told her . now get the hell out of here ! we 're talking about our son . ridge : your son ? you mean that little boy that keeps running around , the one that you abandoned for months when you were stalking my daughter ? that kid ? how do you think a judge would ever take your side on this ? how ? ridge : and get out ? so you can , what , harass katie some more ? how do you think they 're gon na feel about that ? bill : just stay out of it . ridge : because you always win , right ? i mean , that 's what you told me . there 's nothing i can do about it . bill : there is nothing you can do about it . not one damn thing . ridge : although , katie 's gon na be mrs . thorne forrester tomorrow . it makes her part of my family . makes your son part of my family , too . i mean , you and your husband walk into the hearing together , a committed , loving couple , the judge is gon na have no choice but to give you full custody . and there 's nothing you can do about it . not a damn thing . . . | brooke is welcomed into bill 's office and he says he hopes she has good news . she says not really . thorne and katie want to get married tomorrow . thorne and katie tell will that they do not want any pressure but they 'd like him to be part of the ceremony . and just to know that bill will still be his father even though thorne will be living here now . eric tells ridge that he knows how much he hates bill spencer but he is surprised how invested in this he is with thorne and katie marrying and possibly getting full custody of will . but after years of their own animosity he is glad to see him and thorne on the same page . ridge says he is happy for thorne and for will and katie too . brooke tells bill that katie has called so she is going over there to see what she wants . so bill is not to do anything to rock the boat . he says he will sit tight for now ; he appreciates what brooke is doing . he rants to justin that he sees what they are doing rushing to get married to influence the judge ; presenting themselves as a happily married couple better to keep will . justin tells him he is still checking but judge mcmullen seems to be clean . |
bridget : this is -- this is so hard -- brooke : what is , honey ? you are a grown woman , you can live your life as you please . you 're not going to hear any criticism from me . bridget : mom , the truth is i have completely disgraced myself , everyone around me , and most especially , you . hector : he 's a thief . that 's public record . and he 's dangerous , or why would there be a restraining order against him ?

shane : what 's with this guy ? you have no idea what you 're talking about , do you ? hector : in atlanta , there is a restraining order against you . shane : i worked for a construction company . there 's not much work that goes on in the wintertime . so , i took another job as a security guard . when i left , they take out a restraining order that says i ca n't go within 300 feet of the bank that i worked for . it 's nothing . standard procedure . i knew everything . i knew the door codes , i knew the schedule to the armored trucks . it 's the bank trying to cover themselves from the company so i do n't come by there and bother them , like you 're bothering me right now . is there anything else you want to know while i 'm here ? anything ? do you want me to dig up an old high school report card for you too ? phoebe : shane -- shane : do you want that ? i 'm all right . i 'm sorry . i 'm fine , i just came down here to ask something . it 's really not that important . phoebe : are you happy now ? hector : just because he has all the answers does n't make them true . phoebe : do you ever admit when you 're wrong ? ever ? nick : you see , reverend , our wedding was n't exactly story - book , to say the least . brooke : somewhat . nick : we were sort of in the middle of an argument at the time , and there was this naked photo of brooke looked down at us . brooke : do you have to bring that up -- minister : the same one that was in the paper ? brooke : oh -- nick : yeah , actually , that one . brooke : yeah , i think i was the source of most of our problems . nick : that 's not true . do n't listen to her , that 's not true at all . what i think we 're looking for is a fresh start . minister : well , the text that we use are generally for people in their 40th , 50th anniversary . nick : do you go something in there for people in their 10th week ? minister : i will think of something . brooke : good . nick : okay . felicia : hey , the door was wide open . is everything okay ? is that reverend mulchaney ? bridget : they 're renewing their vows . felicia : you did n't tell them . bridget : the only thing that my mother knows how to do when she sees me unhappy is tell me how wonderful i am . oh , felicia , she 's so far from imagining what 's really going on -- felicia : maybe it does n't need to be told today . bridget : and what does that make me ? felicia : cautious ? you do n't even know if you can carry a baby to term . bridget : do you think i need to hear that ? felicia : well , then be honest with yourself , as to why you were hell - bent on delivery this news today . when if you wait , god forbid , but if you do , maybe there will be nothing to tell . or is it because you want another chance with nick , because if that 's the case , then i would get out there right now , and do what you came here to do . bridget : i 'm not angling for nick . i want to tell my mother because i believe that 's the straight - forward thing to do . i realize that the timing is awful . there 's never going to be good time . i 'm just going to tell them the truth today . ( female announcer ) there 's a greatcleansing routine [ knock on the door ] shane : no , i do n't need anything , thank you . phoebe : hey , can i come in ? hey , you wanted to ask me something ? oh , be careful . do you need me to change that ? shane : i 'll tell you what i need . i need a place where i can live with people that do n't think i 'm going to slit their throat in the middle of the night . that 's what i need . phoebe : i hope you do n't think i had anything to do with hector just did . shane : well , i hope you do n't object to me spilling my guts the way i just did . phoebe : it was the only way to get him to stop . i mean , he 's the one who should be embarrassed . everything you said made sense . shane : but now do you feel differently about me ? phoebe : no , i 'm not stupid . i know not everyone grew the way that i did . i mean , i was never hungry , never needed anything . so , i got into plenty of trouble , mom just did n't know about it . shane : yeah , but you just never broke the law , right ? phoebe : well , hector is not one to talk either . no one thinks you 're a bad person and you 're staying here . shane : you know , i think i do need my bandages changed . phoebe : really ? shane : yeah , i think i was clenching my fist down there while hector was harassing me . phoebe : oh , no . let me look at it , okay ? come on . shane : ow ! phoebe : all right . be careful . shane : so innocent , virginal . god , you are killing me , phoebe . what do i do here ? do i still take the million dollars from your mom or what ? how do i play this thing ? minister : dominick , do you take brooke to be your wife ? do you promise to love , honor , cherish , and protect her , forsaking all others and keeping only to her ? nick : i do . minister : brooke , do you take dominick to be your husband ? do you promise to love , honor , cherish , and protect him , forsaking all others and keeping only to him ? brooke : i do . minister : these are the vows you made to each other the day your union was recognized by the state . today , i ask you to renew these vows before me and before god . i invite you to recommit yourselves to that work of love that you have undertaken . brooke : i 'll never forget how close i came to losing you . it was like , falling through the dark with nothing to hold onto . with your love , it makes me feel so safe . so strong . and i felt so lost when i thought i had destroyed that . i love you . and i promise -- i promise never to take your love for granted . ever again . nick : i 've failed you . and there 's no other way to say it . brooke : nick -- nick : do n't , do n't please argue or disagree . i know i failed you . you know , loving you is the easy part that i do n't think i can ever stop if i tried . but i failed you , and i fell in love without limits . so , no more uncrossed lines in the sand . no more old - fashioned , you love me my way or i 'm leaving . that 's over . that 's what led to my failing you . so , before heaven , and you , and this man , i promise you i 'll never let that happen again . minister : heavenly father , grant that these thy children may be ever true in loving . give them happiness and truth . that together , they may share the love that will not fail . amen . brooke : amen . nick : amen . minister : what god hath put together , let no one put us under . you may kiss the bride . brooke : okay . bridget : oh god -- nick : thank you so much . i know it was short notice -- brooke : thank you , it was wonderful . nick : i really appreciate it . thank you . thank you . brooke : now you 're really stuck with me . forever . forever . nick : that 's the whole point . are you okay with this ? i mean , really , 'cause surprise birthdays are one thing , but surprise weddings -- brooke : ah , gosh , yes . it was beautiful . but we were already married , remember ? nick : do you think we can kind of forget that first one ? brooke : no , i loved that day . i want to get married every year . nick : well , that is sort of standard operating procedure of you , is n't it ? brooke : i meant with you , silly . can we ? nick : well , that depends . do i get a honeymoon every year ? brooke : of course you do . i 'll wait upstairs and you come up in a few minutes . nick : okay . phoebe : is that too tight ? shane : no , that 's good . look , phoebe , i want you to othei weacan r atdwic phoebe : i 've never heard of something so ridiculous . this is america . we do n't put hungry people in jail . shane : who else is going to eat it , right ? there might still be a warrant out for my arrest for not showing up to court . c ? smydeshou . but , if they 're out there looking for me , first -- i mean , i do n't know . phoebe : yeah , just let them try to get to you in here . shane : oh , what ? is phoebe going to come after them ? phoebe : i 'm serious . no one should mess with me if i know i 'm right about something . shane : and do you know you 're right about me ? phoebe : i know you 're not a criminal . shane : can i ask you that question i was going to ask you . phoebe : well , i guess it 's your turn . shane : and i do n't want to know about all the exams that you cheated on , because i know you did -- phoebe : no -- shane : no , that 's not what i 'm going to ask you -- phoebe , i wanted to know if you would go out to dinner with me . jorge gave me my last paycheck and i probably should be giving it over to you and your mom , but i know you wo n't take it . phoebe : you should use that money for something you really want . shane : well , this would sort of be for that . look , phoebe , there 's no way i 'm going to be able to thank you the right way , but this i can do . please , if you let me . please ? phoebe : okay . but no meat unless i cut it for you . shane : no , no , no , no knives for you , mrs . scissorhands . i 'm hurting here still -- phoebe : no , you know i 'm sorry . shane : it 's okay . hector : yeah , it 's me . listen , that rap sheet was n't enough , okay ? no , butter would n't melt in this guy 's mouth . you got to help me check out this guy 's story . and you got to do it quick . yeah . nick : i did n't know that you were still here . bridget : you did n't think i 'd want to stick around and watch you and mom renew your vows ? especially since not very long ago , i really thought you and i might renew ours . i do n't know why i stayed . how did it go ? nick : bridget , this was important for me . now , your mother does n't know why , but you do . and i 've come around to your way of thinking . i do n't think we should tell her about the night we slept together . i 've let her down in the worse way possible . and i will not let that happen again . bridget : wow , everything is just working out perfectly for you , is n't it ? nick : what do you mean by that ? bridget : just tell mom that i said congratulations . nick : now bridget -- bridget , hold it . this is what we wanted . this is what we decided to do . put this night behind us . bridget : well , i guess we did . nick : we agreed upon that . bridget : it 's just like a bad movie monsters that keeps popping back up , is n't it ? nick : bridget , wait a minute . now , i never led you on , you know that . bridget : you really do n't want to have this conversation -- nick : this is -- i 'm looking to my future , which is what you should be doing too . bridget : well , i ca n't , nick . i am pregnant . and yes , it 's your child . | bridget wrings her hands and finds this very hard to explain . she has disgraced herself and especially her mom . she is not going to africa . brooke tells her that is no disgrace and she is relieved and she is sure nick will be too . when bridget tries to explain more , brooke will not listen and tells her she loves her and she knows she does not have designs on her husband . not knowing bridget is there , nick arranges for the minister to come and they will renew their wedding vows . brooke is delighted with such a romantic gesture . bridget sticks around and watch . felicia catches her and surmises she did not tell them her news yet , but maybe she should n't unless she still has designs on nick herself , which bridget denies . after the ceremony , brooke grabs nick and says now he 's stuck with her forever and can they do this every year ? only if they have a honeymoon too , he quips . |

[ scene_break ] katie : well , it sure is a pretty ring . thorne : donna could have kept it . i would n't have cared , but to her credit , i guess she just did n't feel right about it . katie : well , i did n't think she would , though i 'm sure it surprised a lot of people . thorne : yeah . you know , i 'm just glad we were able to clear the air . you know , life is just too short to carry grudges . i mean , not that donna would have been good for me in some ways , but i think that if we would have got married , it would have been a mistake for both of us . i 'm just glad you spoke up when you did . katie : so is that why you stopped by , to thank me again ? thorne : no , i , uh , recently came across something . katie : a photo ? thorne : you know , you and i have been to a lot of forrester weddings . katie : ( laughs ) thorne : check this out . katie : oh , my god ! thorne : ( chuckles ) katie : this was at ridge 's and brooke 's first wedding .

( sighs ) nick , i 'm going to really need your support on something . jack : ( cries ) taylor : come on , baby . nick : listen , whatever it takes to make the situation right for you . taylor : well ... ( sighs ) you need to stop expecting that , because ... jack : ( coos ) taylor : what matters for jack is what is really important , and i ca n't do that for him . nick : you can . you 're his mother . you can do this . taylor : so is brooke . nick : only technically . jack : ( cries ) nick : i 'll take him . come on . taylor : i think that 's what has to change . [ scene_break ] ridge : i know it was a break in tradition not to go with you today , but the time i got to spend with my father was really great for both of us . brooke : that 's okay . ( sighs ) it was good for me to spend time alone with the kids . that mother - child bond is always taken for granted . ridge : sometimes i do n't know how you do it . so much love you manage to give everybody in your life . brooke : ( laughs ) well ... ( sighs ) there 's no trick to it , really . there 's always more to go around . [ scene_break ] bridget : well , i do n't know why we all have to lose . someone should walk away from the wreckage ahead , so why not you ? katie : well , this is n't exactly what i wanted . and i 'm sure ending your marriage is n't what you want either . bridget : my marriage is over . i 've already talked to a lawyer , and now i 'm just moving on ... ( sighs ) with my function as nick 's ex - wife -- convincing the woman that he 's sleeping with that it 's okay with me if they move on together . katie : nick loves you , bridget . seeing a lawyer is n't gon na change that . bridget : oh , i 'm -- i 'm sure he 'll probably feel guilty for a little while , but he 'll get over it . he 's really good with that . besides , there 's two kids involved with this one -- yours and ... jack . i think i 'm gon na miss that boy more than i 'll miss nick . [ scene_break ] nick : taylor , what did brooke say to you up there ? taylor : i - i 'm not blaming her , not that i usually do n't , but this time i 'm not . nick : why are we even discussing this then ? you know , you 've been through some rough stuff here . taylor : ( sighs ) please , i just -- would you watch this ? i want you to see something . hey . hey , sweetie . hi . you want to come out ? come on . you want to come out ? sweetie ? nick : you said yourself , he was tired . taylor : that is n't the way a baby 's supposed to respond to his mother . he should be reaching up to me . he should be crying for me . he should be laughing or smiling , but he does n't even cry if i leave the room . ( sighs ) i should be the most important thing in the world to him . ( sighs ) nick : i really think , with some time , patience ... taylor : nick , please , i 'm a psychiatrist . i know everything about childhood development and the problems that can arise from it . if a child does n't bond to his mother at an early age , he wo n't even have his identity . he wo n't feel safe . ( sighs ) he has to identify with the person that he knows is his mother , and it is n't me . [ scene_break ] ridge : i just wanted you to know that bridget did see a lawyer . if you 're worried about nick , uh , weaseling his way back in there , do n't be worried . brooke : i think bridget 's instinct is right . ( sighs ) we all want to put this disappointment behind us as quickly as possible , especially with a child in the middle of all of it . ridge : yeah . katie 's baby . if you ask me , she should n't even have nick as part of the equation . brooke : actually , i was talking ... ( laughs ) about the other child involved -- jack . ridge : oh . hopefully , katie 's got the good sense not to even get involved with nick now . the guy 's constitutionally incapable of being loyal to one woman at a time . what kind of future is there in that ? ridge : what ? brooke : well , i would really rather talk about our future . ridge : oh , well ...

[ scene_break ] wyatt : [ sighs ] look , if it 's too soon to be brothers , then maybe we could try to be friends . you know , getting to know each other the way we have n't yet -- ease into things . liam : maybe . wyatt : you 're hurting . i know , and i 'm sorry . i know what you lost . but there is no going back -- only forward . and i - i really hope that you can do that and be a part of our family because it 's gon na happen . it 's happening as we speak .

[ sighs ] i - i did find out a little tidbit of information . apparently , my brother bought the spectra building from c.j . for $ 50 million and gave it to sally as a gift . katie : [ scoffs ] are you kidding me ? wyatt : that was my reaction . katie : as a gift ? wyatt : yeah . and nobody knows about it . i - i - i just -- i just do n't understand how he 's getting away with this . i do n't understand how dad is not , like , doing anything to stop it . katie : well , he might be a little preoccupied . my sister called me today , and , apparently , brooke and bill are separated . wyatt : what ? wyatt : brooke walked out ? why ? katie : [ sighs ] i do n't know . she really would n't tell me . she said she had things to figure out , but i do n't know what that means . wyatt : [ sighs ] i mean , you think it has something to do with what 's going on between liam and dad ? katie : well , i think it certainly has something to do with bill . liam , i do n't know , but it seems like all of these things have to be connected somehow . everyone 's acting so strangely . i mean , bill leaving the company and putting liam in charge , the separation ... wyatt : not to mention liam 's $ 50 million gift to sally . katie : not to mention that . i do n't know how it happened , but something is going on . brooke is devastated . eric : all my life , everything i 've ever done has been for the strength of our family . ridge : but everything you said in the hotel room , everything you said about me , is true . eric : no , it wasn't . i 'm sorry . ridge : what i did to you -- eric : look , son , i do n't want to rehash any of this . i want us to move past this . ridge : that 's -- that 's all i ever wanted . i want for you and quinn to be happy . eric : well , i ca n't be completely happy ... while our family 's broken like this , and it is broken ... when there 's this bad blood between us . i want to make our family whole again , son . ridge : i want that , too . eric : so , we 're all right ? ridge : yeah , dad . we 're -- we 're okay . bill : i let my ego override my judgment . brooke : you committed a crime , bill ! bill : ordering the fire at spectra was reckless . it was wrong . but it does n't change our devotion to each other . it does n't change the words that we said -- `` for better or worse , `` brooke . yes , what i did was -- it was greedy . it was out of control . it was selfish . but i did n't break my vows to you . and i 'm not gon na let you break yours . when i put that ring on your finger , it was forever . wyatt : i mean , dad obviously did something bad enough to make brooke want to leave . katie : she ca n't even talk about it . [ sighs ] it just does n't seem possible . wyatt : oh , yeah . like dad leaving spencer is possible , leaving his life 's work , or putting my tree - hugging brother in charge ? katie : well , clearly , he is an idiot . wyatt : yeah , i know . thank you . katie : [ chuckles ] wyatt : okay . you and i ... katie : mm - hmm ? wyatt : ... are not being ... so upfront about what 's going on here , either , but , `` a , `` it 's none of their business , and , `` b , `` it feels like there 's a lot going on that we do n't know about . katie : well , and maybe it 's been going on for a while and we just are finding out about it . i mean , have i really missed all the signs ? wyatt : well , we have been a little preoccupied . katie : yes , that 's true . but i am not completely oblivious . i mean , i - i - i work with brooke . i see her at the office . wyatt : right , at the office . have you seen her with ridge ? i mean , does he know about this ? katie : i 'm sure he knows by now . wyatt : did he even come up in your conversation with brooke ? katie : no . but i do have to wonder what this might mean for them . wyatt : yeah . katie : i mean , if bill has disappointed her , i could see her going back to ridge . he is the love of her life . ridge : brooke left spencer . and , to be fair , it was my fault that they were together in the first place . eric : maybe . you know why ? i mean , do you know what he did to make her so upset ? ridge : why she was upset with an egomaniac like that ? no , i do n't know . eric : i 'm not certain that 's exactly what brooke needs to hear right now . ridge : i know , and she 's not gon na hear it -- not from me . just i 'm -- i 'm excited for the possibility . that 's all . [ door opens ] r.j. : hey , dad . you got a minute ? hey , granddad . eric : hey . ridge : come on in . i was just telling your granddad about what your mom 's going through -- what i know , anyway . r.j. : well , she told me she needs some time to think . she did n't say it was over with bill , but it is . ridge : we do n't know that . r.j. : dad , it was inevitable . she was n't meant for bill . sh - she ... is supposed to be with you . mom always loved you , and ... she always will . brooke : i have n't forgotten our wedding day , bill . bill : then let 's focus on that -- what we said to each other , the promises we made . brooke : you said that i was essential to you , that i was the most important thing in your life ... bill : and you are . brooke : ... that i changed you . you 're a better man because of me . but i do n't think i taught you anything . bill : that 's not true ! brooke : you just take what you want , regardless of the consequences or who you hurt or how much ! bill : nobody got hurt ! the building was empty ! i made sure of it ! brooke : would you have gone ahead with it if there were people in there ? bill : of course i would n't have gone ahead with it ! why would you even say that to me ? ! brooke : because you are the same man that ordered ridge to be thrown out of the helicopter into the sea ! bill : oh , come on . brooke : how different is that , really ? have you changed , bill ? no ! you have n't changed at all ! bill : look , i 'm a passionate , driven man . i got swept up in my need to win . did i go too far this time ? you 're damn right i did . can i see that ? of course i can see it ! i mean , all of this because of a damn skyscraper -- it 's ludicrous ! but it was never , and nothing will ever be , more important to me than you are . brooke : you could have killed people , bill . you could have gone to jail . and you still could . did you even think about that , or were you too focused on winning the damn prize -- at any cost ? see , that 's what scares me , bill . i love you ... but that part of you -- that just terrifies me . katie : i 've just been afraid for my sister . you know , what happened , it was -- it was hard for me , and it hurt ... really bad , but i - i 've only just ever wanted her to be happy . and bill ... makes her happy . but i know him . i know him really well . i know what he 's capable of , and i ... i 'm afraid he 'll hurt her . wyatt : you mean like how he hurt you ? katie : you know , brooke is more than just a sister to me . she -- she took care of me when our dad left , so ... so when she needs taken care of , that 's kind of my job . wyatt : i know . d - dad is not gon na lose her . i mean , she 's -- she 's important to him . he loves her . katie : yeah , i know he does . but that does n't mean he wo n't hurt her . believe me , i know . and it was n't too long ago that ridge was saying the same thing . wyatt : so , what are you saying -- ridge has just been waiting in the wings this whole time ? katie : he 's a constant presence in her life . they have so much history together . wyatt : yeah , but we all have someone like that . katie : mnh - mnh , not like them . when they 're together , there 's this pull that always allows them to find their way back to each other . if this separation is permanent and brooke really leaves bill ... wyatt : mm - hmm ? katie : ... i think it 's only a matter of time before she finds her way back to ridge and their son . ridge : we 're not gon na pressure your mom about this . she 's gon na make up her own mind . r.j. : but you 're gon na be there for her when she does , right ? eric : we will all be there for her , r.j . your mother occupies a very special place in this family . she 's taught us a lot about gentleness and forgiveness . we 've all been the recipient of her optimism from time to time . ridge : me more than anyone . r.j. : yeah . i just hope she 's not feeling that way about bill . ridge : your mom has a big heart , but i think she has her limits . r.j. : you think she reached her limit with bill ? ridge : we 'll have to wait and see . r.j. : whatever bill did , it woke her up . she 's gon na come back to the forrester family , where she belongs . bill : you know i would never hurt you , brooke . brooke : but this hurts me , bill . my god . you had fire set to a building because it was in your way ! bill : it was an old , rundown building . brooke : a building where people worked . they need to make money to support their families and take care of themselves , pay their bills . you just wanted to see spectra crumble so badly , you did n't even think about that -- about sally 's employees and what this would do to them . all you thought about was your big , beautiful skyscraper -- a building ! bill : this is about us , all right ? that 's what we should be talking about now . brooke : and you do n't think it 's related ? because it is . this is what i 'm scared of , this behavior , and i do n't want it in my life . i do n't want it in my son 's life . i am trying to teach him right from wrong . and what about liam , the man with morals ? he turned to blackmail because of you . and did you show any remorse ? no ! you punched him right in the face . [ sighs ] i love you , bill . but i need to think about the life that i want to lead . this is n't what we promised each other . bill : brooke , do n't do it . brooke : just take them . bill : i can't . i won't . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry i scared you . i 'm sorry i let you down . i swore i would never do that . it will never happen again . i love you . brooke : goodbye , bill . i will always have our memories . they will always be very precious to me .

[ quinn sighs ] months and months ago . that 's my problem with this whole thing . quinn : you feel guilty by association , do n't you ? wyatt : no . quinn : ohh . wyatt : no , i don't . quinn : yes , you do . you do . the woman that you fell in love with and you still are , by the way , got caught in a horrible hoax that kept your brother away from his daughter . you need to be innocent in all of this . you need to actually go above and beyond enjoying this -- this huge angry mob to expel the wrongdoer , even though there were extenuating circumstances . flo : look , i knew that what i did was going to destroy wyatt and me , and i think ... it 's probably why i did n't come forward sooner and do the right thing . sally : look , we all tell ourselves stories that everyone else would know were n't true . `` thomas forrester is the perfect man `` was one of mine . flo : it just -- for wyatt to just turn around so quickly and just , like , propose to somebody else , it just -- it 's just -- it 's just crazy . it does n't -- sally : somebody else ? i am the woman that you elbowed aside . flo : oh , come on . that was all wyatt . that was his decision that he made . i could n't care either way . i did n't even know you . sally : yeah , i know . the issue is that you just sat by and watched , knowing that you were 10,000 more times guilty than i was of lying to him . bill : katie ? katie : mm ... bill : katie . katie : where ... where -- where ... bill : you 're in the hospital , the hospital . you collapsed . how are you feeling ? katie : uh ... f - far away . bill : you 're not far away . you 're right here . you 're with me and -- and your sisters . they 're outside and ridge and eric . i 'm gon na be right back . i 'm just gon na get the doctor . katie : no , do n't go . bill : no , no , no , no , no . i have to . i have to . i have to get the doctor . ohh . you had me so worried . i 'm so happy to see your beautiful eyes . i love you . i love you so much . everything 's gon na be okay . katie : everything ? bill : she 's awake . brooke : did she say anything ? ridge : i 'll get the doctor . donna : can we see her ? bill : yeah , come , come . come on . brooke : oh , thank god . eric : i 'll wait . do n't want to overwhelm her . bill : thanks , eric . brooke : do you remember anything ? katie : where -- where ... bill : katie , i 'm right here . i 'm right here . do you remember being at home with me ? katie : you ... you and will were gon na go someplace . will -- donna : no , baby . relax . brooke : honey , do n't get up . bill : do n't try to get up . just stay down . brooke : it 's okay . katie : why am i like this ? i feel like i 'm ... i feel like i 'm made of lead from the neck down . i ... what 's happening to me ? [ scene_break ] sally : so i see what 's happening . you never saw me as a contender in the overarching story of your grand romance with wyatt . i was just someone who was mildly entertaining but not someone that he could love . flo : no . i felt good in my relationship , and i was n't concerned about what his feelings were for you . sally : no , of course . why would you be ? 'cause to you , his feelings for me were just the same as his feelings about green vegetables or cold drip coffee -- interesting but not essential . [ flo sighs ] you even think that my proposal is about you , a message that he is trying to send . flo : look , you just -- you 've never really come across as the type of woman who wants marriage . sally : why ?

( sighs ) i know you have this image of how you wanted tonight to go , and it 's all romantic and beautiful and everything that you would want it to be . but i heard you talking to liam on the phone , and he did n't seem all excited that you could n't move up the wedding . so when he walks through that door and he sees you here , it may not be a very happy surprise . hope : look , liam is n't upset with me . he 's upset with the situation . we have to keep the wedding date as it is . was i happy about that ? no . was liam happy about that ? not even a little bit . but , i mean , it -- it 's not like he wants to get married because he wants this big ceremony and to wear a tux and listen to some cheesy poem . no . he wants me . he wants to start our life together as husband and wife . so when he comes in that door and sees me waiting here for him , candles lit , and i tell him that i 'm here to stay , and that we 've been waiting far too long , and that i 'm going to give myself to him completely tonight , i think any hurt he 's feeling will go away do n't you ? brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] bill : how 's my boy doin ' , huh ? liam : uh , dad , hey . bill : you like ? liam : yes . yes , thank you . bill : yeah ? you sure ?

[ scene_break ] brooke : you do n't smoke . they saw something on the c.t . , right ? well , it -- it was probably scarring . stephanie : she 's right . i had a gunshot wound a number of years ago . and , uh , that 's probably what they saw -- the scarring . dr. lewis : yes . yes , something showed up , and that 's why we did a bronchoscopy . stephanie : oh . brooke : or it could be a bug . i mean , she does travel a lot , so ... dr. lewis : infection was one of my thoughts , and as luck would have it , our chief surgical resident scoped you , and then the tissue scraping showed no infectious agents , he had the pathologist try a different stain . that 's when it showed up . stephanie : i never smoked . dr. lewis : one out of four new lung cancer diagnoses are in people who never smoked . throw in the people who quit smoking decades ago , that would account for roughly 60 % of new cases . stephanie : but i 'm never sick . brooke : it 's true . ( sighs ) stephanie : dr. lewis , i 'm not a sick person . [ scene_break ] eric : i 'm gon na head home before your mother thinks that i 'm holed up in some motel room with a model some place . ridge : oh , dad , models do n't do it in hotel rooms anymore . they use cocktail bars . eric : is that right ? ridge : yeah . just do n't go home with a mojito on your breath . eric : all right . you 're not , uh , you 're not upset about what i said before ? ridge : look , i know mother and brooke do n't get along . i just do n't see why it has to be considered a permanent condition like eczema . eric : yeah , well , i thought eczema went away sometimes . ridge : thomas actually has a very nice , uh , refreshing view of all this . he sees the two of them battling as a problem that can be solved . i personally think we should head towards the view -- how would taylor say it ? uh , desensitization . eric : well , just not on your mother 's birthday and certainly not in our opera box . somebody could fall . ridge : ( chuckles ) okay . [ scene_break ] dr. rabin : your primary tumor is what we call non - small cell adenocarcinoma . it 's the less aggressive , more treatable class of lung cancer . stephanie : you said primary tumor . do you mean there 's more than one ? dr. rabin : we found some enlarged nodes on the scan we 'll want to take a look at . we also found metastatic tumors in the brain . stephanie : oh . well , that does n't sound good . dr. rabin : it 's very serious , of course . stephanie : could you define `` serious `` ? dr. rabin : the technical classification is stage four . stephanie : how many stages are there ? dr. rabin : four . stephanie : oh . does n't get much worse , then . dr. rabin : but , mrs. forrester , we have n't even talked about therapeutic options . stephanie : no , i do n't think i want to until i know exactly what they are and how effective they would be . dr. rabin : uh , every case is different . um ... stephanie : but you must have some statistics . brooke : this is a lot to absorb . ( sighs ) i - i 'm not sure it 's gon na really help throwing around numbers . stephanie : ( coughs ) i 'd , uh , what are my chances ? dr. rabin : in absolute terms , impossible to say . but the stage four survival rate in five years is not quite 10 % . dr. lewis : there are new strategies evolving all the time , and you 're fortunate -- you can afford them . dr. rabin : we want to take some more tissue and see how it responds in vitro to chemo - therapeutic agents . stephanie : oh , that could wait , ca n't it ? dr. rabin : and surgery is often effective . brooke : removing a lung ? dr. rabin : or part of it . stephanie : well , how long do i have ? dr. lewis : take all the time you need . discuss it with your family . stephanie : doctor , i 'm not the kind of person that does n't like to know exactly where she stands . dr. rabin : six to eight months . stephanie : is that with the treatment or without ? dr. rabin : with . brooke : i think that 's , uh , that 's enough for now . dr. lewis : we 'll talk tomorrow . stephanie : thank you . brooke : ( sniffles ) no , it ca n't possibly be as bad as it sounds , right ? stephanie : i want to go home . brooke : of course you do . here . let me help you . stephanie : i 'm not an invalid , brooke . brooke : stephanie , i ... i 'm really sorry that i was saying that you were faking , that ... stephanie : put some cold water on your face and take me home , okay ? brooke : do you want me to say anything to -- to ridge and to thorne ? do you want me to tell them about your diagnosis ? or do you want to tell them yourself , or -- stephanie : i do n't want you to say one word to anyone . this is my business . i certainly do n't want you saying anything to ridge . brooke : i can respect that . stephanie : if i 'd had my wits about me , i would have told you to leave the room . brooke : i would n't have left you alone . stephanie : story of my life .

( sighs ) i do n't know . i do n't know what i 'm saying . oh , my god . ridge : something 's worrying you . brooke : i - i just wish i could go back to the beginning -- the beginning of us , and , um , i do n't know , i ... i would do things a little bit differently . ridge : yeah ? brooke : mm - hmm . ridge : what would that change ? brooke : i would just be calmer and kinder . ridge : i think you 're the victim of low blood sugar . brooke : ( laughs ) you know what ? oh , my gosh . you 're -- you 're -- you 're probably right . ridge : whoa , those are my favorite words in the english language . brooke : yeah ? `` you 're probably right `` ? ridge : yeah . does that just make me my mother 's son ?

is he ? katie : here 's what i know , and i had to learn it the hard way . do n't ask questions that you do n't really want the answers to . ask yourself -- do you really want to know what your father 's capable of ? wyatt : yes , because then this whole mystery thing would -- it would end ! just tell me if he was involved . that 's all i want to know . katie : i can't . it 's not my place . wyatt : i thought we were closer than that , katie . katie : we are ! wyatt : well , then , i want us to be able to talk about anything here ! katie : well , i want that , too , but this is complicated . you have to understand , this is very , very complicated . wyatt : i 'm onto something then . katie : i ca n't talk to you about this , wyatt . wyatt : okay . okay . i 'm sorry . look , i -- i hate that i have to put you in this position . katie : then don't . please don't . please . wyatt : but this is why brooke left him , is n't it ? because he had something to do with that fire . he caused that fire ! i 'm right , are n't i ? just tell me ! okay ? this is the only thing that makes sense to me . katie : i ca n't say it . i ca n't say it . i ca n't say it . wyatt : okay , okay , okay . all right . okay . okay . it 's fine . you do n't have to tell me , but i know that i 'm right . i know that 's why all this drama is going on , and i know that 's why liam is running spencer . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's all right . sally : the entire building has to be up to code , and i refuse to have a repeat of what happened . i ca n't afford any more accidents . liam : yeah , well , you 've had enough bad luck for two lifetimes . i ca n't imagine any more coming your way . sally : god , i hope not , but just in case , i am gon na get the best insurance policy in town . liam : [ laughs ] probably not a bad idea . sally : right ? yes . but to get insurance , this building has to pass inspection , and for that to happen , it needs a total renovation . liam : yeah . yeah , well , you got the money . sally : i have a loan , yes , thanks to you , but i just -- i never realized how much work was involved . liam : well , what else do you need ? sally : an architect . a builder . like , a real builder . not just saul and darlita hammering nails into walls , because then the building will definitely fall down this time . liam : [ chuckles ] well , you got a lot on your plate , but nothing that 's not doable . sally : do you have a jackhammer and pliers that i could borrow ? liam : actually , i think i might be able to do better than that . i think i have a way to help you . bill : i know that ordering the spectra fire was wrong . of course i know it . steffy : i think we all agree on that . bill : but liam 's betrayal ? recording me without my knowledge , using it to blackmail his own father -- is n't that wrong ? steffy : liam felt strongly about taking control of this company was for the best at the time . bill : what about the spectra building ? he just gives that away . and to who ? to sally ? with a bow on it ? that 's costing me tens of millions of dollars , steffy ! i mean , not to mention all the other little do - gooder things he wants to implement . steffy : well , you know , some of it has been a long time coming . bill : fine , mr . sanctimonious is doing some good things . i can give him that . steffy : okay , so you guys are on the same page about some things . bill : sure , i mean , if -- if that means that we could have some kind of healing , that i could have my son back , you bet . i 'll -- i 'll meet him in the middle , sure . steffy : okay , that 's great . that gives me something to approach liam with . bill : wo n't be easy . steffy : it 's a start . bill : you do n't give up , do you ? steffy : on family , no . i 'll talk to liam . do n't worry . we 'll heal this divide . bill : you 're an incredible woman . liam is very lucky to have you . bill : you 're pretty good at this advice thing . i appreciate the support . steffy : that 's what family is for . bill : liam 's not the only one lucky to have you . so am i . it 's a honor having you as a spencer . steffy : well , the pleasure is mine . though i have to tell you , i 'm always gon na be a forrester at heart . bill : [ groans ] why do you have to go and ruin a perfectly good moment ? steffy : [ laughs ] bill : either way , you 're a wonderful person . and not half bad to look at . steffy : oh , okay . bill : and pretty wise . i 'm not sure where liam and i would be without you . steffy : i know you two have your differences . you view the world differently . you 're different people . your priorities are different , your personalities are different , but the one thing you two have in common is that you love each other . you have that bond , that father - son bond . bill : you 're right . i 'm hoping we can overcome this as a family . i better get out of here before the boss gets back . steffy : i know you two can heal this . and , like i said , i 'll do whatever i can to help . sally : you have a way to help ? liam : i think so , yeah . sally : okay , well , please . do tell ! liam : [ chuckles ] okay , so , you know the firm that was supposed to build spencer tower ? sally : yes , your father 's dream project which he was supposed to build here ... liam : yeah , well , obviously that is not happening anymore , but my dad still has those guys on retainer . i mean , i 'm sure i could introduce you . sally : seriously ? liam : well , yeah , i do n't see why not . the only thing is , they 're in san francisco . sally : that is not a problem . i would go all the way to timbuktu if it means i could get this place up and running again . liam : well , there you go . i mean , they 're crazy - good architects , and they have their own contractors who themselves are , like , best in the business . i 'm sure they 'd do an amazing job . sally : oh , i 'm sure they would , and i completely trust your judgment . do you think they would be up for it ? liam : this is nothing for them . this is , like , new electricity , new flooring , new walls , and it 's all up to code . that 's easy . sally : oh , my god . liam , i -- i do n't even know -- i do n't even know what to say ! you 've already helped me so much , i -- liam : all right , okay . breathe , chill . you deserve it . sally : i will absolutely pay you back . oh ! thank you , liam ! liam : [ laughing ] okay . sally : oh , thank you so much . liam : all right . sally : [ laughs ] wyatt : i would have called but , uh ... bill : you do n't need a formal invitation to come say hi to your dad . wyatt : i know what 's going on . how could you do that ? bill : how could i do what ? what -- what did i do now ? wyatt : you burned down spectra ? bill : who told you that ? wyatt : do n't even deny it , okay ? i put it together myself ! why would you do something like that ? like , why -- why do you always have to control everything ? bill : i got it , okay ? i 've got it . you want a piece of me ? take a number ! your brother 's pissed . my wife walked out of me . i screwed up ! there ! wyatt : okay , so i 'm right ! i 'm right , then ! you just -- you just handed everything over to liam , is that it ? bill : i did n't hand him anything ! he took it . wyatt : what ? how ? bill : how do you think ? wyatt : what , he blackmailed you ? bill : `` tell him what he 's won , bob ! `` `` a new c.e.o . , bill ! `` wyatt : are you serious right now ? bill : my own son forced me out of my own company . wyatt : oh , my god . this explains why he 's been such an ass lately , all high and mighty . bill : eh , you give somebody who feels inadequate a little power , and look out . wyatt : dad , why are you just letting him do this ? bill : i 'm not letting him do anything ! he has me on tape . wyatt : what ? bill : i thought we were having a confidential conversation about the spectra fire , but no . i was being recorded by the little snitch . bill : i should n't have ordered spectra to be burned down , i know that , but do i really deserve to lose everything for it , including my wife ? wyatt : i know . i heard about that . i mean , is there no chance she 'll change her mind ? bill : you should have seen the way she looked at me . she called me a criminal . she ca n't accept what i 've done . hell , i ca n't accept it . i 'm ashamed of myself . what am i supposed to do ? what 's done is done . i ca n't change it . but you want to know what 's truly unforgivable ? a son stabbing his own father in the back ! that 's unforgivable ! i 've given that kid everything ! i 've given you both everything ! my multi - million - dollar beach houses , the lifestyle that you live ... and how does he repay me ? by screwing me . well , if he wants to get in the ring with the big dog , he 's gon na find out that i will hit him so hard , he wo n't know what happened ! wyatt : look , i 'm not arguing with you , okay ? but you 're a little angry , and i do n't want you to do something you 're gon na regret . bill : i won't . i will be calculated . i will work in the family and get him out . wyatt : so he actually said he was gon na turn you in to the police ? bill : exactly what he said . wyatt : why ? [ scoffs ] is he stupid ? does he not understand that that 's gon na put you away for years ? bill : he does n't care . and he 's not just saying it to scare me . he means it . please , tell me what i have done that he would hold me in such contempt , that he would have such resentment that it would spew out this way . wyatt : i do n't know ! you know , he 's not listening to my opinions , either . he told me to mind my own business . and have you heard about his new policies ? bill : i 've heard about all of it , wyatt , including his hippie - dippy vegetable garden that he wants to put on my roof ! well , where does he think i 'm gon na land my helicopter ? in a bed of kale and alfalfa sprouts ? wyatt : okay , what does steffy think about all this ? i mean , she ca n't be too happy . bill : no . she 's not . she hates that we 're fighting . she 's trying to mediate a reconciliation . but steffy understands how important the bonds of family are and if a family member breaks those bonds how quickly things can unravel . well , that 's exactly what your brother 's done . and he 's gon na regret it , wyatt . that 's a check you can cash . sally : liam , i -- i do n't even know -- i do n't even know what to say ! you 've already helped me so much , i -- liam : all right , okay . breathe , chill . you deserve it . sally : thank you , liam ! liam : [ laughing ] okay . sally : oh , thank you so much . liam : all right . steffy : your father 's willing to work with you . he supports the changes that you 're making . liam : but i do n't believe that . steffy : ca n't you two just sit down and speak to each other ? liam : no . because if i let him in a crack , he takes over . steffy : under all that frustration , he is humbled by that experience . he regrets everything he 's done . [ telephone rings ] liam : liam spencer . bill : it 's your father . liam : i do n't have time for this . bill : please , liam . please . do n't hang up . i 'm sorry that things got so heated earlier , and i 'm just calling to say that i do understand where you 're coming from , the things you want to implement , and ... i think -- i think that we could work together . in fact , we would be great together . so , what do you say ? can we stop with all this blackmail nonsense ? liam , come on ! we 're family ! can we start acting like one ? can we put the acrimony behind us and run spencer as a team ? but you have to erase that tape . i mean , if for no other reason , just to show some good faith . i know you have it on your cellphone . liam : as a matter of fact , i do . 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 ! okay ? are you satisfied ? are you happy now ? can we move on ? i did it . bill : is there anybody in the office with you ? liam : just steffy . steffy : your father has a point . this riff wo n't end unless that tape is gone . can we just go on to the next chapter , please ? bill : we could do it together , son . we could take the company in a new direction . but you have to destroy the recording , liam . and you have to do it now . | steffy hugs bill . he says he hates anyone to see him this way . she reminds him he is human and okay to be vulnerable . he thanks her for listening . she says anything she can do just ask and she will do it . sally grabs liam 's arm and shows him some of her improvements . she says it is all because of him and he thinks it is incredible . she says again it is all because of him and she can not thank him enough . he wonders what else does she need . she replies an architect and a builder . katie tells wyatt that brooke just took her rings off . he says wow , he feels like they just got married and he can not believe he cheated on her so he 'd like to know what brooke said . he knows that when bill wants something he will stop at nothing to get it . and now has this whole liam power trip on with bill away and it makes no sense . he mentions the word fire and sees the reaction on katie 's face and asks if there is a connection . he says he thought they were close enough that she could tell him anything . she says normally yes , but this she can not . he badgers her and says she does not have to tell him ; he knows his dad must have had something to do with the fire . steffy is glad that bill is on the same page as liam on some things but this one is not going to be easy . bill says liam is one lucky person to have such an incredible woman as she . he appreciates the support . she says the pleasure is hers . he says she is wonderful and not bad to look at . he does not know what he will do without her . liam tells sally that he thinks he knows a way to help her . she wants to hear all about it . he tells her that his dad still has his architects on contract and this would be nothing for them compared to what they did for sky . she is ecstatic and hugs him , agreeing again to pay him back . |
[ birds chirping ] thomas : i meant what i said , dad , and i really am sorry -- ridge : i appreciate what you said . and i heard you . now i 'm gon na take douglas to his playdate . thomas : but ... look -- ridge : thomas ... you should leave before someone sees you . thomas : okay , but it ca n't be ca n't like this forever . i ca n't be banished from my family , kicked away from my own kid ? no . no , i - i - i need a way back , a way to ... to fix the family and to get back to working at forrester . ridge : well , brooke is not gon na let that happen right now , not now . thomas : dad , but this -- this right here , my work -- this is my way back to the son that you were proud of . i mean , look , me and -- and shauna and flo , xander , zoe , all of us , what we did was terrible . it was wrong . we kept the secret from hope about her child , and it was awful , okay ? but buckingham 's the one who did this . he stole that baby . he sold it . i mean , i 'm not saying what we did was okay . it 's not , but it was his scheme we were caught up in . and i think you understand that . i think you get it , 'cause you 're the reason flo is n't in jail right now . you 've been so compassionate and understanding , especially with me . i did n't deserve it . i just -- i want you to know it means the world to me , okay ? do n't ever forget that , dad . ridge : okay . okay . [ indistinct conversations ] vinny : oh , danny . give it to me , man . i need it . i got thomas crashing on my couch . danny : that 's right . he 's still there ? vinny : you have no idea . he 's bouncing off the wall . & he 's designing like crazy . he 's got all this pent - up energy and nowhere to put it . danny : what do you mean ? he 's designing at forrester . vinny : mnh - mnh . his dad wo n't let him anywhere near the office . danny : seriously ? i thought they were tight . vinny : i mean , they were , but some stuff went down . bottom line is thomas is saying mrs . f. wo n't let mr . forrester anywhere near him and that she owns him . danny : ridge does his own thing , and brooke definitely does n't own him . he made that pretty clear when he got drunk the other night . [ seabirds calling ] [ indistinct conversations ] danny : sorry , man . it got busy . you good ? vinny : yeah . what did you mean before about ridge ? danny : should n't be gossiping . vinny : danny , i 'm your friend , man . i 'm not gon na call the tabloids . danny : better not . vinny : so ridge was really tying one on , for real ? danny : dude got wasted . and it looked like he had a really fun night , too . vinny : huh . shauna : hi , ridge . ridge : shauna . shauna : i hope you do n't mind . i sweet - talked charlie into letting me in the building . ridge : well , that ca n't have been too difficult . shauna : easy - peasy . ridge : um ... you know , you probably should n't be here . shauna : i know . you 're probably right , but i had to see you . i ca n't stop thinking about that night we had together . brooke : thomas . what are you doing ? get out ! you 're not welcome here . thomas : i 'm not welcome ? i 'm not welcome in my father 's home ? brooke : this is my home , and you 're not allowed here . you know that . so either i call security , or you leave right now . thomas : brooke , i just want you to hear me out . brooke : there 's nothing you have to say that i wan na hear . thomas : would you just stop fighting me , brooke ? i want my life back . i wo n't be treated like a pariah by you or the rest of the logans any longer . vinny : so ... ridge seemed like he was having a pretty good time the other night . danny : he was real anxious just sitting here at the bar , knocking 'em back one after the other . ridge : daniel , my brother . there seems to be a particular problem in this area . danny : yeah , how about a water or coffee ? ridge : how about not water or coffee ? how about you give me what i want ? i know what i want , and i know what 's right . feed me ! danny : shauna showed up . shauna : well , we keep bumping into each other . ridge : [ groans ] shauna : [ chuckles ] ridge : shauna . shauna : [ chuckles ] ridge : ha ha ! danny : they talked for a bit , then it became really obvious that ridge was flat - out wasted , like he could barely even stand . shauna : hello . danny : he passed out . shauna and i brought him upstairs . the owner keeps a little room up there , so we put ridge in the bedroom . vinny : yeah ? then what ? danny : it was last call . i had to get back down to cover the rush . vinny : wait . hold up . you and the lady bring ridge upstairs , and then the lady leaves , right ? ridge : i should n't have let myself get out of control . shauna : oh , so you had a few too many . who cares ? we all need to blow off steam sometimes . ridge : yes , and i appreciate you looking after me . shauna : oh , well , it was my pleasure . [ chuckles ] ridge : what ? shauna : just remembering the look on your face when you woke up in the morning . you were really freaked out . ridge : well , yeah , i did n't know where i was , and i did n't know why all that was there . shauna : well , it was purely innocent . i only stayed over to make sure you were okay . ridge : well , thank you again . you went above and beyond . shauna : well , you are welcome . ridge : now i do n't have to remind you ... shauna : i know . brooke can never know . ridge : she just would n't like it , you know ? it 's ... shauna : i ... i - i understand . do n't worry . you do n't have to be stressed out . i 'm not gon na say a word to her . ridge : okay , good . i need you to understand something . even with the kindness you 've shown me , i have n't changed my mind about flo or about you , for that matter . shauna : i know . ridge : it 's an awful secret to keep . it affected a lot of people , and brooke and i -- we ... we just do n't look at things the same way . she feels that everyone that was involved in this needs to pay . brooke : where 's douglas ? you better stay away from that sweet little boy . thomas : you mean my son ? he 's not here . my dad took him for a playdate at zach 's . brooke : oh , good . i want you to stay as far away from him as possible . thomas : brooke , have you forgotten who i am ? i 'm still your son - in - law . i 'm your daughter 's husband . okay , i may have made some bad moves , but i still have sole custody of my kid . me , not you . so if you want your daughter spending more time with douglas , then i suggest you stop treating me like garbage . brooke : i 'm treating you the way you deserve to be treated . thomas : is n't life about forgiveness ? my father 's shown incredible grace , and he understands that i am dealing with the stress of my son losing his mother . brooke : oh , my god . you do n't give a damn about douglas ! all you care about is yourself , what benefits you . thomas : i was mixed up after caroline died . and my mom 's been helping me realize that i took all these raw emotions , and i put 'em straight into hope , okay ? but it was out of love . brooke : love ? you tortured my daughter ! thomas : i was trying to make a better life for my son , but , yes , okay , what i did was wrong . brooke : oh , my god . wrong ? keeping a secret about beth being alive is more than wrong . it was despicable . thomas : i was doing it for steffy , too , okay ? yes . i did n't want her losing her daughter . they had this wonderful life , her and phoebe and liam , an amazing family . i did n't wan na rip her away from that , and you know what ? did i commit a crime , brooke ? i mean , did i -- did i forge the documents ? did i switch the babies ? did i -- did i kidnap anyone or kill anyone ? brooke : i do n't know , thomas . did you ? still trying to figure out if you 're responsible for emma 's death . & thomas : oh , that 's -- that 's -- that 's dangerous talk . yeah , my father would n't wan na hear you accusing me of murder . just accept it . i committed no crime . brooke : no crime ? you perpetuated a lie that ruined so many lives . i 'm talking about human decency here , thomas . okay , you might not be guilty in a court of law . but i am giving you a life sentence as somebody i will never trust . copd makes it hard to breathe . [ seabirds calling ] vinny : so mr . f. gets hammered . & you and blondie take him upstairs , and blondie spends the night ? danny : yep . vinny : are you sure , man ? i 've known mr . f. a long time . he 's a great guy , and he and mrs . forrester are real tight . & are you telling me that mr . f. cheated on his wife ? danny : all i know is i went to that bedroom with ridge and shauna , and when i came back in the morning , they both were still there . vinny : yeah , but that does n't mean they , you know . i mean , one of them could have slept on a couch , right ? danny : there was no couch . i 'm not saying things got hot and heavy , but there 's one thing i know for sure . vinny : what ? danny : the two of them slept in that bed . vinny : two ? how do you know two of them ? danny : i 'm telling you , vinny . the two of them slept in that bed , and i know for a fact because i 'm the one that made it . [ indistinct conversations ] ridge : brooke is upset with you , with flo , zoe , xander , and thomas . all i want is buckingham -- i want him to be prosecuted . shauna : good . he needs to pay for what he did to hope and liam . ridge : yes , hope and liam . what -- what about steffy ? no one talks about her anymore . what about what she went through ? she lost phoebe . shauna : no , you 're -- you 're right . i ca n't imagine what this has been like for her . and i feel terrible that flo was involved in this . ridge : well , brooke wants justice . shauna : i get it . i understand . she feels betrayed , especially since flo 's her brother 's daughter . ridge : she ca n't even hear flo 's name without losing her temper . shauna : oh , i was hoping she was coming around . ridge : no , not about you or flo ... or thomas . i mention his name , and we get into an argument . shauna : that must be really hard on you . thomas : okay , you wan na be mean to me , brooke ? you wan na kick me while i 'm down , condemn me ? fine . go ahead . point out my weaknesses , a few mistakes i made along the way . brooke : a few mistakes ? you conned my daughter into marriage . you lied to her , and then you exploited her grief . thomas : such an ugly take on things . it 's too bad , 'cause i have something you want . i have something your daughter wants . brooke : you 're using your son as leverage ? this is unbelievable . i ca n't even listen to this . thomas : i 'm just telling you how it is , brooke . brooke : god , you are so unfit to be a parent . if i have to get a restraining order , i will , to keep your son as far away from you as possible . thomas : good luck with that . no one 's keeping my son away from me , okay ? he lost his mother . she 's dead . i 'm the only parent he 's got left , okay ? so if you want your daughter to be in my son 's life , well , i suggest you change your attitude and change it really quick . brooke : i 'm not gon na change the way i feel about you , thomas . you are sick , and you are dangerous . and i 've given you one chance too many . there is no way you are gon na hurt my family ever again . thomas : you are a logan , brooke . do n't forget that . that last name -- that 'll only get you so far . on the other hand , i 'm a forrester . my father 's not gon na turn his back on me , so stop trying to keep me out of my company and stop interfering with my family . this is mia . shauna : both of our kids got mixed up in the situation , so i do get what you 're dealing with . ridge : at least you do n't have a spouse that wants your child to go to prison . shauna : uh , no , but plenty of other people do . ridge : including brooke . shauna : i 'm not comparing thomas and flo by any means . i mean , they 're very different people , but i get the need to protect your kid , even when you do n't agree with what they did . ridge : i do n't agree with what they did , but it was horrible . thomas is spoiled , and that 's on me , but he 's my boy . he 's my son . and he 's remorseful , and he 's trying to make his life better and wants to go back to work , but ... but brooke wo n't let him do that . shauna : what ? ridge : nothing . i just , um , find you very easy to talk to . shauna : well , thank you . i 'm very sorry that she 's putting you through all of this . ridge : it 's okay . she 's my wife . we love each other , and we 'll find a way to put the family back together . shauna : oh , of course you will . you know , and if the tables were turned and this was brooke 's son , she would do whatever she needed to do to protect him . i mean , that 's what we do as parents . it 's our job . we love unconditionally . you 're just being thomas ' parent . you 're protecting him . and you wan na feel supported . so i get it . i understand . and you know what ? brooke will eventually , too . ridge : i am not so sure about that . shauna : well , hopefully she will ease up on you and not stress you out so much . you 're too cute to be stressed out . well , if you wan na talk more or you need a friend or someone to lean on when you 've had a few too many whiskeys , i am here for you . vinny : bro , this is huge . you 're telling me mr . f. spent the night with another woman . danny : not just any woman -- flo 's mom . vinny : yo , i got ta tell thomas . he 's gon na flip out . [ cellphone chirps ] brooke : you need to leave , thomas . i want you out of here . i mean , i ca n't even stand looking at you , and i do n't want hope or douglas to see you . i just want you to go . go -- go back to paris . go stay with your mommy . she can hold your hand . she can deal with you . thomas : that 's cute . my mother has empathy for what i 've been through , and my father has shown extreme forgiveness , and you 're saying what , that you 're never going to ? brooke : no . no , not after what you did to my daughter . thomas : okay , i 've been very generous letting douglas stay here with you guys , and all i asked in return was that you stay out of my way . i 'm not after your daughter anymore , brooke . i know she 's over there with liam . fine , okay ? i 'm moving forward . stop filling my dad 's head with your negativity , okay ? this is gon na be my company . it 's my family and my future , and i 'm not gon na let you ruin it . brooke : oh , my god . you are so out of control , thomas . thomas : you are messing with the wrong man . you may be my dad 's on again , off again wife , but i am his son . i 'm his flesh and blood . and i am so sick and tired of this high and mighty logan sanctimony , and i know what you 're trying to do . you 're trying to systematically destroy my family so you can keep my father to yourself . i mean , you 're a logan . that 's what you do . brooke : my god . what you 're saying is ridiculous . thomas : you did it to my mother my entire life ! my family was together . we were a family . my father was there , and you had to come along and ruin it ! you know , my -- my sister steffy -- she -- she 's made peace with it . my mother -- she 's still trying to make sense of it . but you met your match with me . okay ? 'cause i 'm sick and tired of you logans benefiting from our success and trampling and disrespecting our family . that ends now ! brooke : how dare you ? get the hell out of my house now , thomas ! thomas : you made a mistake screwing with my life . you may have my father wrapped around your slutty little finger ... brooke : [ gasps ] thomas : but that wo n't work with me . your reign of terror over the forresters ends with me ! | thomas tells his dad that he really meant what he said . he is sorry . but he will not be kicked out of the family and from his child . he points to his designs and says this is his way back . everything everyone did was wrong . but it was buckingham 's scheme they all got caught up in . he knows he does not deserve it but it means the world to him that his dad believes in him . he grabs his dad in a big hug . vinny sits at the bikini and spouts off to danny how ridge and brooke are calling the shots to poor thomas . danny thinks back to the morning after when ridge got drunk and he saw the room . he tells vinny that ridge is definitely not pushed into anything . he explains that the dude got wasted and had a really fun night . brooke comes home and finds thomas sitting on her couch . she tells him to get out ; he is not welcome here . he finds that hard to believe that she is fighting him and keeping him out of his dad 's house . he will not put up with this from her or the logan 's any longer . shauna tells ridge that she hopes he does not mind but she sweet - talked charlie into letting her in the building . ridge tells her she should not be here . she says she knows but it was easy - peasy and she can not stop thinking of that other night they were together . but she mentions that she knows brooke must never know . he says it is an awful secret to keep but he will not change his mind about flo being out of jail . but her kindness in taking care of him went beyond and she says it was her pleasure . he mentions that he and brooke do not see things in the same way and she thinks everyone involved must pay . brooke asks quickly where douglas is . thomas says his dad took him on his play date . brooke says good ; she wants thomas as far away from him as possible . thomas asks brooke if she has forgotten who he is . and she really wants to keep him out of his father 's home . she corrects him and says it is her home . she will call security if he does not leave right now . he just wants to be heard . he says douglas is his son . and he may have made some bad choices but he does have sole custody of douglas , not her . and he just wants his life back without her fighting him or treating him like a pariah ; her and the rest of the logan 's . he mentions every single thing he has done was out of love , all the things he just told ridge earlier . so she just needs to accept it . his dad would not like hearing her accuse him of emma 's murder . she points her finger at him and says she will never trust him nor change her mind about him . so vinny finds out from danny that ridge and blondie spent the night in the upstairs room . danny says he can not prove they did anything but he took them upstairs and in the morning both were still there . no couch so they both slept in the bed . he knows as he made it up . vinny says he has to tell thomas . shauna tells ridge she hoped brooke would have calmed down by now . and she still is sorry for what flo did in all of this . it must be hard on ridge with brooke feeling this way and not understanding ridge 's side . thomas tells brooke that she better change her attitude . douglas is his son and her getting a restraining order wo n't do any good . he lost caroline and now douglas only has the one parent . his dad is not going to turn his back on him . she is only a logan but he is a forrester and he wo n't tolerate her attitude any more . he has been talking to his mother and realizes he was dealing with raw emotions and trying to be a better man and brooke needs to accept that . he committed no crime . she opines that maybe not in a court of law but she is giving him a life time sentence as someone she will never trust . he gloats that is too bad as he has something she wants . she wants douglas for hope but that is not going to happen by mentioning a few little mistakes he made along the way . she scoffs at his few little mistakes . he says if she wants her daughter in his son 's life he suggests she change her attitude and do it very quickly . she looks him right in the eye and says she is never going to change how she feels about him . he is sick and dangerous . |

[ jackie sobs ] eric : your brother has been a really , really good friend to felicia . ridge : oh , so it 's a coincidence she 's been staying with brooke and me ? eric : i do n't think that has anything to do with it . ridge : oh , no ? eric : well , i hope not . ridge : the guy is on the rebound , dad . eric : well , you might want to keep that opinion to yourself when you 're speaking to your sister . ridge : i am gon na talk with her . [ knock on door ] felicia : dad , i hope you 're not too busy -- ridge , what are you doing here ? ridge : working . felicia : should n't you be at the hospital ? ridge : hospital ? felicia : oh , god . nobody called you . ridge , massimo had some sort of an attack . they took him to university e.r . deacon : jackie , i know you 're upset , but you ca n't panic . nick : mother ? what 's going on ? jackie : oh , nicky ! nicky , they think your father had a stroke . he 's upstairs . they 're running tests . nick : stroke ? jackie : yes . nick : is he going to be all right ? jackie : they do n't know , darling . it happened so fast . he just -- he collapsed . he was n't talking . he was n't moving . and that 's what made it so scary . because he was awake . he was moaning and -- nick : all right . this all happened at the office , right ? jackie : yes . nick : out of the blue ? no warning at all ? jackie : no . doctor . doctor , how is he ? how is my husband ? mark : he 's stable . he 's stable . we just moved him to the i.c.u . nick : did he have a stroke ? mark : i 'm still waiting on the results from the ct and mri . but yes , the neurologist believes your father had an ischemic stroke . luckily , he was brought in soon enough for us to administer tpa . jackie : what 's that ? mark : it 's a drug that helps break down the blood clots that caused the stroke before they can do any more damage . nick : can we see him ? mark : briefly . okay ? and only one at a time . nick : you should go . jackie : no , you should go . i was with him in the ambulance . he 'd want to see you . mark : i 'll take you to his room . as soon as i get the test results , i 'll be back , okay ?

pop ? good god , how did this happen ? how do you go from being in an office , starting a business -- well , i hate being in hospitals and i know you do , too . so we 're just gon na work on getting you the hell out of here . think of what had happened to the company , huh ? or mom ? she needs you . she needs you . she does okay on her own , but when you get the family and the man that you 've prayed for your whole life -- little tough to just lose that . so do n't do that to her , okay ? or to me . you see , i know who you are . because you helped make me who i am . i know you hear me . before i knew you were my father , you were my mentor and my idol . and now i know the guts and the drive and the strength it takes to build an empire and most importantly build a family and you you brought me in , you made me part of that . but i 'm not ready to take the helm . it 's too soon . i need more time . i need -- i need my father . i need my dad . now you show me those guts . and you show me that courage and that drive . and you get it together . and i 'll be right here . i 'll be right here . right here . jackie : maybe that 's what he needs -- to hear his son 's voice . he 'd fight for his sake , would n't he ? he 'd fight to come back . do n't you think ? deacon : yeah , yeah , definitely . i hope so . jackie , i also hope that massimo does n't remember what we were talking about . that way , you two could go on like nothing happened . that is what you want . right ? jackie : yes . yes . deacon : okay . okay . and i -- i really am sorry that he heard us . jackie : that 's okay . i was going to tell him anyway . i wanted to be honest . i wanted to -- deserve him . mark : mrs. marone ? jackie : have you got the results ? mark : yes . but i 'm afraid it was n't what we hoped for . the ct and mri revealed a massive stroke affecting your husband 's brain stem . now , this is the most basic part of the brain . and the stroke damaged his cardiovascular system , his speech and his motor function . jackie : but it 's not permanent . i mean , you know , with rehabilitation and -- mark : it 's a miracle that he survived the initial event . a lot of times with a stroke like this , he could end up in coma or even death . jackie : massimo 's a fighter . mark : yes . he is a very strong man . but i 'm afraid to say -- that he may never walk or talk again . deacon : doc , would you -- would you mind giving us a few minutes alone , please ? mark : yes . deacon : thank you . jackie : what have i done ? what have i done ? what have i done ? [ jackie sobs ] | the paramedics take massimo to the hospital , he is unable to close his eyes , or squeeze the paramedic 's hand . the doctor confirms that massimo had a stroke . deacon calls nick and tells him what happened , and nick arrives at the hospital to find deacon comforting jackie . he goes to see his father , who is unconscious , and tries talking to him and motivating him out of his coma , reminding massimo about his strength and the love he has for his family . |
