[ scene_break ] nick : well , up till now , bad news for eric has been good news for us , but this , you know , this deal could make forrester unstoppable . stephanie : oh . bridget : it wo n't even be forrester anymore . nick : it really does n't matter . it does n't matter what the name of the company is or who owns it . the company is our competition . jumping into bed with spencer makes it stronger . jackie : yeah , not to mention all the free publicity they 'll get . bridget : okay , but this is assuming my father even sells the company . whip : yeah , well , from what i hear , bridget , that 's a pretty safe bet . stephanie : i think it is . it 's a sizeable loan , honey , and if they have the assets to cover this , they 're not going to have enough assets left to do the next 60 days . bridget : well , i 'm just gon na , you know , think positive for my father . he 's gon na figure this out . he might run out of options , but my mom and dad are very , very good at thinking outside the box . stephanie : right . they 're the ones that -- that thinking got them into trouble in the first place . bridget : oh , okay , stephanie . look , i love you very much , but do n't blame this on my mother . nick : okay , hold it . hold it . hold it . easy now . let 's focus . jackie : ( clears throat ) nick : jackie m. -- this deal is our problem , too . jackie : okay , we can do something . we can file a complaint . we can get an injunction . nick : yeah , i do n't think so , mother . we just have to hope that forrester 's strong enough to hang on .

[ scene_break ] whip : ( sighs ) oh , there we go . that 's what i need . jackie : find anything interesting ? whip : uh , no , i was -- i was just , uh -- jackie : snooping . interviewing surrogates ? jackie : nope . whip : but you 're thinkin ' about it . jackie : nope . owen is . ( sighs ) whip : kids , huh ? really ? i mean , not that , you know , you and owen would n't raise really great children . oh , but then again , uh , nick did n't turn out so well , so maybe you can try again , huh ? jackie : nick is a grown man . he 's got children of his own . i am a grandmother , for heaven 's sake . whip : yeah , you 'd never know it . jackie : oh , thank you . do n't get me wrong . i mean , being jack 's grandmother , it is -- it 's the greatest joy of my life , but -- whip : but you 've been there , and you 've done that . jackie : and owen has n't , and he wants to , and he would make a perfect father . ( sighs ) whip : so you want this for owen ? jackie : i just do n't know if i can give it to him . whip : well , some people have a burning desire to have children . ( chuckles ) not me . burning desires , yeah . i got that . just , uh , not that particular one . [ scene_break ] brooke : some of what you 're saying makes sense . ridge : logan . brooke : but this ca n't be a purely logical decision . there 's a lot of feelings involved and a lot of history . bill : pass on this deal , and history will be all you have left , brooke . justin : sign this agreement , and the three of you each get a million shares of spencer stock . this morning , we were trading at $ 12 . that 's $ 12 million for each of you . i 've also prepared a schedule of stock options for the rest of your family . katie : thorne , felicia , marcus , rick . they 're all included . all the grandkids , everyone . no one is left out . bill : you can come to work every day and feel that same pride of ownership . ridge : yeah , we 'll only own a sliver . eric : we would have no say in decisions made . donna : we 'll be employees . bill : i think you can trust that your own sister will treat you fairly . eric : katie has done a great job here at forrester , but c.e.o . ? that job belongs to ridge . we will answer only to ridge . katie : so you 're saying if ridge is c.e.o . , you 'll take the deal ? bill : no . i appreciate your loyalty to your son , eric . loyalty is important to me , as well . and it 's the one thing i could never count on from ridge . there is only one person in this room that i trust . katie will be loyal to me and have your best interests at heart , as well . she is the only acceptable choice as c.e.o . katie : we can make this work . i promise . bill : you know , you should really consider yourselves lucky . i could have saddled you with any suit from my stable . but katie is personally connected to the business . she wants to see forrester achieve greatness again . accept her as c.e.o . , and i will give you all the resources to do just that . brooke : bill , justin , could we speak to katie alone for a moment , please ? bill : absolutely . brooke : katie 's right . i think we can make this work . brooke : but you have to listen to me and do exactly as i say . [ scene_break ] stephanie : jackie ? is your mother still around ? nick : no , no . is there something i can help you with ? stephanie : thanks , no . nick : stephanie . ( sighs ) i 'm sorry . i feel bad about forrester , too . stephanie : the really sad part ? it did n't have to happen . you know , i - i told eric -- i warned him about this , but ... ( sighs ) he 's a loyal guy , and he -- he just put his loyalty in the wrong place , and now the whole company 's gon na pay the price . nick : well , what do you think ? you think eric will take the deal ? stephanie : god , that 's so hard to imagine . spencer owning the company ? kate logan as the c.e.o . ? i mean , based on what ? nick : siding with bill has its perks . stephanie : yeah . yeah . [ scene_break ] katie : bill is not going to change the terms of the deal . brooke : he does n't have to . ridge : because we 're not taking it . brooke : wait . just hear me out . i know a way that will satisfy everybody . katie ... ( sighs ) i 'm your sister . you 're a part of our family , and we love you . and if it seems like we 're upset , we are , because we do n't want to see you get hurt . you put a lot of faith in this man that came in and brought a lot of discord into your life . he made you a lot of promises . he wants to make you c.e.o . and i could see how you would want to take on that challenge . you want to prove yourself to everybody . and i 'm sure you could do it . but you know what ? it 's not fair . ridge has been groomed for this position his whole life . he can do it . just hand him the reins . you wo n't have to teach him anything . he 'll just come in , and he 'll do the job . katie : brooke , i understand what you 're saying , but that 's not what bill wants . brooke : i know that 's not what he wants . he wants you in that position . he wants you in that chair . so fine . you will be the c.e.o . but we will all be in this together as a family making the decisions and loyal only to each other . so what do you say ? can you do that ? katie : brooke , of course i 'm loyal to you . i always have been . do you really think that bill would have given donna or marcus anything ? uh , steffy , thomas ? their needs are important because they matter to me . you 're my sisters , and i love you . i love all of you , and i want this company to succeed . so does bill . brooke : okay . so there 's really no conflict . i mean , it sounds like we all want the same thing , right ? katie : ( sighs ) brooke : and you could be assured that ridge and eric are gon na do the best for the company . right ? katie : of course . brooke : yes . and you 're going to agree with their decisions , i 'm sure . katie : well , i would expect to be part of the process . brooke : and you will be . you 'll be c.e.o . and what does a c.e.o . do ? they delegate . they motivate . they hire the right people for the right jobs . they give them enough expression and enough freedom to make the right choices and do the best job possible , and that 's what you would be doing . i mean , it would be a mistake to micromanage an artistic company like this . it would be a disaster . are we all in agreement ? katie would be the c.e.o . she would be the public face of forrester , our liaison to bill spencer . and you , ridge , you would be doing the day - to - day operations , and if we had any important meetings , we would do it right here in this very office , not at spencer headquarters . so what do you think ? can you do that ? you 'll be able to be loyal to us , to your family , over anybody else ? katie : absolutely . brooke : ( sighs ) eric and ridge ? donna ? what do you say ? bill : all right , people , i have other dragons to slay today . do we have a deal or not ? ridge : one condition . katie will be the c.e.o . , locked in long - term . we just do n't want any of your spencer clones milling around this place ever . so she will be our connection , our only connection , to spencer publications . agreed ? bill : you 've got it . eric : you will put that in writing . bill : done . you 're all in agreement ? brooke : completely . justin : we 'll get the new papers drawn up and the funds transferred . bill : i have every confidence in all of you and in your new c.e.o . here 's to the new forrester creations , a division of spencer publications . welcome aboard . | at the beach house bill pours orange juice and calls katie miss ceo . she 's all spiffy and wants to look the part . justin joins them . eric , donna , ridge and brooke are in a tizzy at the office knowing bill and katie will be there any minute to try and finalize their deal . bill , katie and justin arrive and promptly want to show him a video about spencer publications which falls on deaf ears . bill gives them a win / win scenario . forrester can default on their payment and he will buy it from the bank or they can sell it to him now and he will keep all the employees on . plus all standing in the room will keep their positions , nothing has to change and bill will pour more money into the company and promote it , keeping it the # 1 fashion house in the world . whip sees the surrogacy brochure on jackie 's desk and discovers that owen is desperate to have a baby . jackie wants that for him . stephanie is happy to be back at work at jackie m. she informs them about the forrester situation . nick thinks they will be involved too . jackie m. is forrester 's strongest competition so jumping in bed now with spencer will only make it worse . |
brooke : oh , you should have gone straight home . i can update everybody on stephanie 's condition . ridge : just make sure you mention what the doctor said , okay ? she has to be in a positive attitude all the time . the surgery 's just the beginning . she 's got a very rough road ahead . she 's gon na need a lot of encouragement . brooke : and she 's going to get it . ridge : this is the secret she asked you to keep , is n't it ? you 've known about her cancer for a while . brooke : i 'm sorry . i begged her to tell you . ridge : yeah , the party , the slide , all that -- it all makes total sense now . she had to be so scared . brooke : but she 's willing to move forward now . she 's ready to fight this . ridge : because of you . thank you . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nick : i love you , mother . nick : ( chuckles ) and i hope he 's worth it . whip : hey , boss . nick : hey . whip : just on my way to see you . nick : uh - huh . whip : seen these ? amber 's latest . nick : yeah . yeah , i have . whip : what do you think ? nick : what do you think ? whip : it 's a bit of a departure . nick : yeah . different . provocative and ... whip : mm - hmm . nick : interesting . whip : kind of like the woman who designed them ? [ scene_break ] aggie : i thought we were friends , amber . amber : you are n't acting very friendly . aggie : you 're hitting on my boyfriend . amber : okay , listen . i have had very few close girlfriends in my life . do n't ask my why . but , uh , the whole jealousy thing , it 's just -- it 's not cool . aggie : i 'm gon na say this one time . you stay away from nick . [ scene_break ] brooke : it was n't me . ridge : you 're the one that 's been supporting her . brooke : i 'm not the one who gave her the strength to go through with the surgery . you can thank dayzee for that . ridge : the homeless girl ? brooke : mm - hmm . she saw what dayzee was doing to try to help others , and it inspired her . ridge : inspired her to fight this cancer , really ? brooke : to live long enough to make a real difference . ridge : oh , mother 's always participated in charity work . brooke : yeah , but this is different , ridge . she 's a changed woman . she wants to make the lives better of the people that have so little . she wants to help them . she wants to fight for their dignity . and i want to help her . ( knock on door ) thomas : hey , dad ? ridge : yeah . thomas : oh , brooke . brooke : oh , hi . thomas : how 's grandma ? ridge : the surgery went well . thomas : did they get the cancer ? is she gon na be okay ? ridge : uh , it 's not really that simple , but , uh , so far , so good . brooke : ( sighs ) i 'm gon na let you two talk . ridge : okay . thomas : actually , brooke , can you stay ? i was n't really planning on getting into this yet , but since you 're both here , uh , i have something i want to show you . i 'm pretty excited about it . [ scene_break ] nick : yeah , amber is certainly one of a kind . of course , you should know . you 're the one who brought her aboard . whip : yeah , well , maybe i should have thought that through a little bit more . [ scene_break ] amber : look , nick 's an impulsive guy . but the two of you have been taking it slow . i 'm thinking there 's got ta be a reason for that . aggie : yeah , we 've both been through a lot . amber : has he even told you he loves you ? because if he felt it , he would say it , and i bet he has n't . aggie : you do n't know anything about my relationship with nick and what we share . amber : oh , he saved your life . he 's your hero . aggie : he 's my boyfriend , and that 's all i should have to say about it . [ scene_break ] nick : so ... you have a problem with amber ? whip : yeah , i have my concerns . do n't you ? nick : well , maybe you should tell me what your concerns are . whip : well , like for instance , why was she hired to fill in for bridget and then suddenly become lead designer ? nick : well , it 's not like this is her first line . whip : look , i 'm not disputing amber 's talent , nick . i mean , is she bridget ? that 's ... nick : bridget does n't work here anymore . whip : yeah , and she 's also not your wife . whip : listen , you and aggie are seeing each other now , and , uh , from what i understand , you 're getting kind of serious . nick , i saw you and amber in your office earlier . now i do n't know what was going on , but i 'm gon na tell you how it looked . nick : well , she was excited about her promotion , yes . whip : yeah , i 'm sure . excited and very grateful , i 'm sure . nick , we both know what amber is like , and we both know what amber 's capable of to get what she wants . nick : what she wants is for this line to be a hit . that 's what we all want . that 's what we should all be focusing on right now . whip : hey , you 're preaching to the choir , nick . i - i 've had about enough challenges to deal with in this office lately . but as p.r . for jackie m. and also aggie 's cousin , i got ta ask . nick : well , so ask . whip : is this gon na be an issue ? nick : i care about aggie . whip : okay , but you 're not gon na deny that amber is definitely vying for a position . nick : i care about aggie . i respect her . i wo n't hurt her . whip : well , that 's good to hear . let 's just hope that amber respects her , too . [ scene_break ] amber : nick is yours . end of discussion . aggie : well , there never was anything to discuss . nick and i are involved . amber : ooh , a challenge . aggie : ( scoffs ) you talk a really big game . i heard that about you . but i also heard you ca n't back it up . nick and i are solid .

[ scene_break ] thomas : i 've been sketching a lot lately . brooke : really ? thomas : yeah . brooke : thomas , that 's great . ridge : you kind of let that go for a long while . thomas : yeah , yeah , i did . but , you know , all this stuff with grandma has got me thinking . you know , like what she said at her party -- uh , all we have is the present . make the most of it . stop saying no all the time . and i realized that i was saying no to myself . no , that there was n't enough room for another designer at forrester . no , that my stuff was n't good enough . so ... ( chuckles ) if she can build a slide in her living room , then i can show this to you . okay . ridge : a tux . thomas : yes . brooke : these are designs for the men 's line . hmm . thomas : well , we have n't really had a men 's line in the last few years . we 've put out specialty items and a few pieces a season , never a whole collection . ridge : hmm . you must have a dozen sketches in here . thomas : i have more at home . ridge : `` the men 's line by thomas forrester . `` brooke : nice . thomas : i want to be a subsidiary , in - house . i 'll handle my own p.r . and my own advertising . i 've already started making contacts , uh , publicity , importers . ridge : now hold on . hold on . thomas : i - i have n't told them what i 'm working on yet , but i do have a network in place . i 'm ready , dad . this is what i want . this is how i can make my mark on the company . what do you think ? ridge : these designs are very good . a few could go to the pattern maker right now . brooke : oh . thomas : really ? ridge : i 'm just not sure this is the right time to rebrand the men 's line . we 're right in the middle of rebooting the bedroom line . thomas : well , that 's steffy 's thing . ridge : you want to do something on your own , something to set yourself apart , right ? thomas : yes . ridge : as a subsidiary , you 'd have complete control over the line . the profits , of course , would go back into forrester 's pockets , but you would be in charge . thomas : ( sighs ) ridge : is that what this is about ? thomas : no . no . brooke : no . ( sighs ) thomas : this is n't about steffy or her 25 % . i know i can do this , dad . the men 's line is a proven winner . we 've let it slide the last few years because you and granddad ca n't handle anything else . brooke : a fresh look on the classic . ( sighs ) thomas : exactly . that 's -- that 's where i 'm coming from . brooke : this is the suit that will get you that corner office . thomas : or the girl of your dreams . brooke : ( chuckles ) ridge : all right . i 'll think about it . thomas : that 's all i can ask .

[ chuckles ] yeah , i will leave this cabin a much better designer than i ever thought i could be , and that 's because of you , so ... thank you for choosing me . i will be forever grateful for this experience . and now you 'll rock your designs , and i 'll rock mine . ridge : when we kissed ... caroline : no . hey . no one else needs to know . deacon : wyatt , you and hope remember the party after you guys were married , right ? everyone was there . there were forresters , spencers , logans , and then there was me and quinn , and you know what ? here 's the amazing thing about it -- nobody got excluded . nobody was made to feel like less . honey , i have to tell you -- that -- that night -- it meant so much to me . i mean , there 's no reason that it ca n't be like that all the time . hope : no rea -- quinn . quinn is the reason , and it really worries me that you 're so blind to that fact . dad , i - i realize that you 're frustrated that you 're not with mom , so , okay , find somebody else . find anybody else . please , just not her . deacon : look , i get it , all right ? quinn 's got issues . hell , she 's got volumes . but you know what ? she 's working on it . i mean , she 'll be the first to admit it , but she 's at least learning how to manage it . quinn : yeah , i - i 've been doing really well , and deacon gets props for that . he keeps me centered . hope : do n't believe her , dad . do not believe this normal act . she is a threat . she attacked liam . she pushed ivy into the seine . deacon : i know . hope : okay , so then how do you expect to bring her here , telling me that you 're in a relationship and think that we 're just gon na hug it out ? how can you do that ? quinn : you know what ? just speak up , okay ? anytime . stand up for your mother . defend me . wyatt : you make that very hard after all the things you 've done . quinn : for you ! hope : no ! wyatt : oh , my -- hope : no . do not put your crazy onto my husband . he has carried that burden around for years , and it stops now . quinn : look , i know that sometimes , i go a little too far . [ sighs ] i never was going to hurt you . you are my son 's wife . you 're the mother of my grandchild . i 'm involved with your father . we 're family . i mean , nothing is going to change that . you ca n't wish it away . hope : nothing you 're saying matters right now -- nothing . my opinion is never going to change . i will always feel this way . i do n't want you around my child . dad . dad , i care about you . i love that you 're in my life . i love that we 're getting closer . that means so much to me . it is something that i have always wanted . but my responsibility is to my child and my husband . quinn : my son . hope : so i think you have a decision to make . deacon : what -- what are you saying , honey ? hope : if she is going to be a part of your life ... then you ca n't be a part of mine . it 's either her or me . ridge : it 's best this way . caroline : i know . i just -- i 'll miss us -- what we created together . ridge : you always say that i taught you . well , you taught me things i did n't even know about myself . and you made me see things through somebody else 's eyes . caroline : same here . and your perspective changed me as a designer ... and as a woman . i 'll always treasure our time together . ridge : me , too . your husband 's very lucky to have you . i hope he knows that . caroline : [ chuckles ] he does . ridge : if he ever forgets , you know , he can call me , and i 'll ... caroline : i do n't think that that 's a good idea . [ chuckles ] ridge : shall we ? caroline : one last time . | hope repeats it again . she meant it when she said she did not want quinn anywhere near her family and that includes deacon too . she will never change her mind on that . quinn is not welcome in this family . wyatt tells them that hope has a right to her feelings . quinn gives her side that maybe hope needs to understand her more before she judges her . hope says quinn has no moral center for any life and she wants no part of her . she is shocked also that deacon is now into it . he tells hope that it may come as a surprise but they have been living together for some time now . hope ca n't figure how deacon could have anything to do with this woman after all she has done to her . quinn says all she wants is her rightful place in her new grandchild 's life . hope again says no . deacon tries again to beg hope to just forgive quinn . hope says she has , more times than she deserves and it just keeps happening . she is not going to live like that looking out for her crazy mil . and if deacon is smart he would walk away right now before she pulls a sword on him too . deacon begs again that please for him , do not shut quinn out . he admits that quinn has issues but she is working on it . hope says she can not believe he is so blind toward quinn . she tried to kill liam and pushed ivy in the seine . quinn tells wyatt to defend her , he should defend his mother . he says that makes it hard with all the things she does . quinn says she knows she has gone too far but she never would hurt hope or her family . she can not wish that away now that they are family . hope says she will always feel this way . she cares about deacon and that he is in her life and that is something she always wanted but her loyalty is to her husband and her child . so it 's deacon 's decision . if quinn is going to be part of his life , then he can not be part of her life . it is either quinn or her . |
[ monitor beeping ] quinn : can i get you anything else ? eric : you look tired . quinn : [ sighs ] well ... i did n't sleep much . eric : something happen ? quinn : ridge and i had a ... confrontation after he left you . eric : he upset you ? quinn : ridge can be a little bit intimidating . eric : did he ... threaten ? quinn : no , no , no , no , no . i do n't want you to worry about a thing , okay ? there 's been enough conflict between us and your family . eric : stress . quinn : i am feeling a bit vulnerable . i hired a new security team for the estate who wo n't only be loyal to your family , and so ridge ca n't drive a bunch of moving trucks up in the middle of the night and get rid of me . i hope that 's okay . i do n't want you worrying about this . i can handle myself with ridge . ridge : it 's pretty obvious my dad is n't thinking clearly . i practically begged him to sign those power - of - attorney papers . brooke : but he did n't ? ridge : no , he did n't . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : got himself all worked up , and then quinn came in . she got to his side , and once again she ended up on top . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , ridge . i know how much you were hoping to get through to eric . ridge : that 's not gon na happen . you know what else is n't gon na happen ? quinn running this company , running our family . it 's unacceptable . oh , man , i was trying to avoid this , but ... it 's kind of up to you now . we need bill 's shares more than ever . [ both laugh ] bill : it 's good to see you . it 's been too long . donna : it 's good to be home . bill : how 's it been out in the world ? donna : oh , fantastic . i mean , it 's something i always wanted to do , just travel wherever the urge took me . but after i heard about eric , i knew it 's time to come home . bill : yeah . you 've been missed . donna : [ sighs ] bill : and your timing could n't be better . your sister 's going to need you . donna : you mean brooke . bill : i do n't know how much you two have been in touch lately , but i want to marry her . right away . quinn : you sure i ca n't get you something ? wyatt : no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . quinn : i 'm so sorry , honey . wyatt : i 'm just not in the best mood today . quinn : that 's understandable . but you do n't have to walk away from your marriage . you know , you could fight for steffy . it 's who you are . you 're a fighter . that 's how i raised you . wyatt : okay , whatever . what 's with the new security outside ? i do n't see any of the regular guys . quinn : [ sighs ] it 's a new company . they started today . wyatt : you fired forrester security ? quinn : they worked for ridge . i need someone who 's gon na be loyal to me . wyatt : okay . what 's going on , mom ? are you trying to protect eric or yourself ? donna : brooke told me you were about to get married before r.j . came home , but she -- she seems to think he needs more time . bill : oh , come on . r.j. 's had enough time . we ca n't let a teenage boy dictate our lives . r.j. will come around when he realizes he has no choice , that brooke and i are good together , that i make her happy . i 'm done waiting , donna . i want to make brooke my wife as soon as possible . ridge : we need those shares to take control of the company . and you 're the only one who can get them . where do things stand ? brooke : [ sighs ] the same . bill wants to get married right away , and i want to wait a little bit for r.j. 's sake . ridge : well , you may not be able to wait a little bit . brooke : you know how r.j. feels . he thinks that we belong together . ridge : well , he , uh ... he makes a lot of sense . brooke : okay , wait . one minute you 're telling me to go marry spencer , and the next you 're saying ... i do n't know what . do you have feelings for me , ridge ? ridge : what ? of course , i have feelings for you . what do you think ? quinn : i had another run - in with ridge . he was upstairs alone with eric . lord knows what he was even saying about me . wyatt : okay . quinn : but he -- [ sighs ] he was upsetting eric , and that 's not good for his recovery . and eric asked him to leave , but he -- he came right down here and he was waiting for me when i came downstairs , barking about what i 'm allowed to do , threatening me . wyatt : wait , like a serious threat ? quinn : i was n't gon na take any chances . that 's why i hired a new security team . if i need to call them , i want to make sure that they 're gon na listen to me , not to ridge . besides , i ca n't have him coming over here any time he wants , upsetting eric . no one gets to jeopardize my husband 's health . i do n't care if it is his son . donna : you and brooke have waited a long time to be together . you 've proven your loyalty , your commitment . yes , i believe in you . bill : your support means a lot to me and to brooke . it 'll be great to have you with us on our most special day . [ both chuckle ] ridge : i need to stop quinn . but yes , i have feelings for you . i do n't -- i do n't want to lose you . brooke : you ca n't lose me , ridge , because you do n't have me . i 'm marrying bill . ridge : i know . but you ca n't stay with that clown , so you 're gon na divorce him . brooke : divorce him ? ridge : yeah , he 's gon na say something stupid or do something stupid , and then you 'll leave . brooke : i - i 'm marrying bill because i love him , because i 'm committed to him , not because you need the shares for some takeover that may not even happen . besides , it might still work out . ridge : how ? brooke : eric 's anger will pass , and he 'll realize what he 's doing . it 's -- it 's ridiculous . and he 'll kick quinn to the curb . ridge : quinn is a problem now . we got to get these shares , take over the company , and ... and then we 'll get on with our lives . but we need to deal with quinn first . mr. forrester 's condition is improving every day . quinn : do you hear that , honey ? eric : strong like bull . quinn : [ laughs ] rest is still vital . he ca n't do too much too soon . quinn : oh , i 'll keep him in check . [ chuckles ] why do n't you take a break ? my son and i will sit with him . sounds good , mrs. forrester . quinn : thanks . mrs. forrester . i love the sound of that . mrs. forrester . and so you know , the new security team is in place . wyatt : yeah , mom tells me things got heated with ridge . eric : out of line . quinn : that does n't matter now . my priority is to keep you safe while you 're getting better . but i can use all the support i can get . [ chuckles ] eric : move in . quinn : well , i already live here . eric : wyatt . your mother needs you . wyatt : me ? eric : move in . bill : so , have you seen eric ? donna : not yet . bill : you know you 're gon na have to go through quinn , right ? donna : i mean , what -- what was he thinking getting involved with that woman ? bill : the consensus is he was n't thinking . regardless , however she did it , quinn is ensconced . donna : we 'll see how long that lasts . but in the meantime , we have got a wedding to pull off . bill : you know , that day on the beach in abu dhabi was supposed to be the beginning for brooke and me as husband and wife . of course , it did n't turn out that way because of ridge stopping the wedding . but what he could n't stop is our love , because it 's real and it 's permanent . and he ca n't touch it . brooke : what ? ridge : i do n't know . i - i just ca n't get that image out of my head , you on the beach in abu dhabi getting ready for that wedding ceremony . it 's just the idea of you being married to that guy even for a second . and i know it 's necessary . we need to get the shares , so i - i get that . it 's just , um ... brooke : okay . [ chuckles ] i want to make something perfectly clear , 'cause i know i 've told you this before , but i would never marry bill or anybody else just for a business transaction . i 'm doing it because i love him . ridge : that 's what you want ? brooke : yes . so , you do n't have to worry about me . i am a big girl , and i can take care of myself . ridge : yeah ? brooke : okay , what -- why are we even talking about this ? ridge : because ... because there 's a lot of memories . we spent a lot of good years together , you know . now r.j. 's back , and he 's bringing up some of those memories , and it just -- and ... [ sighs ] it does n't help that you 're getting married to ... to a guy that i do n't care for . brooke : wow . well , that was the nicest way you ever phrased that . ridge : it 's just something about you , logan . i just want you to be okay . i want you to be happy . brooke : i am happy , so you can be happy for me because i 'm gon na be with bill . and you should be happy for yourself because you are going to get those shares . ridge : i am so happy for me . get rid of quinn and everything 's back to normal . and you just have a little detour in your life . that 's all . wyatt : you -- you want me to move in here ? quinn : eric , are you serious ? i mean , it would be so great to have my son close by again . well , you could get to know us as a couple . you can -- you can spend time with us . wyatt : i got to admit , i had my reservations about you guys at first , but ... now i 'm starting to think you two are good for each other . it 's probably hard to tell , but i am grateful to you , eric , for accepting my mother and ... making her happy . eric : no big chore . wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : and -- and we have tons of room . you can even have your own guest house if you want . it -- it would be so , so nice to know that you 're close by . and you do n't even have to say anything right now . you -- you can think about it and go and come back , and then you can say yes . you could just actually say yes right now . wyatt : mom . i do n't hate the idea . quinn : [ chuckles ] [ knock on door ] carter : there he is . eric : nurse texted him for me . carter : this is for you . quinn : what is it ? eric : open . quinn : [ chuckles ] our marriage license ? eric : unsigned . need ... to fix that . quinn : i ca n't believe you 've been thinking about this . eric : married legally . quinn : [ chuckles ] you are the best man . do you have any idea how much i love you ? [ chuckles ] wyatt : okay , this feels kind of like a private moment . i 'm just gon na leave you be , mr. and mrs. forrester . eric : no . stay . my family ... left me alone ... at our wedding . you stay now . wyatt : are -- are you sure ? eric : very sure . brooke : bill is not a detour . ridge : you ca n't be with that guy . he should n't even be allowed to look at you , let alone be married to you , so just do me a favor . just get the shares and then get away from him . [ ringtone plays ] ridge : [ sighs ] is that bill ? brooke : hi . bill : i catch you in the middle ? brooke : uh , no , not -- i can talk . bill : i meant what i said , brooke . no more waiting . i understand that you want to give your son consideration . you 'd be more comfortable getting married if r.j. was all in . we 'll get him there . i will make it my mission . but , brooke , our future is now . we get married , i give you your wedding present , then we 're off . brooke : so the shares are still on the table , right ? bill : i gave you my word . i would n't go back on it . i 'll give you my shares at forrester and you can hand them over to ridge if you want to . i want you to be my wife . i love you . brooke : i love you , too . so , um , he wants to get married right away , and then i 'll be with the man that i love and you will get your shares . ridge : and that 's it ? no talking you out of it ? brooke : [ chuckles ] ridge , come on . ridge : 'cause that 's what you want . brooke : yes . ridge : okay . okay . [ monitor beeping ] quinn : here you go . you 're signing it right there . [ chuckles ] eric : say it . carter : i now pronounce you husband and wife . quinn : ha ha ! eric : and ? carter : and now you may kiss the bride . quinn : [ laughs ] hooray ! eric : my wife . quinn : my husband . eric : uh - huh . quinn : [ laughs ] carter : it 's official . you 're definitely married . my work here is done . quinn : [ chuckles ] eric : thank you . carter : happy to help . quinn : [ chuckles ] wyatt : well , uh , thank you guys for letting me be a part of this , but you probably want some alone time , so i 'm gon na head out . congratulations to both of you . eric : thank you ... son . wyatt : i 'm -- i 'm sorry ? eric : i 'd like to call you son . wyatt : uh ... i do n't know what to say to that . i ... i 'd be honored . eric : good . now ... move in . help your mother . support your mother . quinn : oh , that would make me so happy . wyatt : this is what you want ? eric : yes , it is . wyatt : i mean , i guess i could make it work . quinn : really ? wyatt : yes . i 'll -- i 'll -- i 'll move in . quinn : oh ! that means so much to me ! ohh ! thank you , both of you , for everything . wyatt : all right . well ... eric : wyatt . i 'm sorry you lost steffy . not as pretty , but ... you have me now . | quinn sits with eric and when he asks she says ridge can be a little intimidating but she can handle him . eric asks if he threatened her . she says no , but she has changed the security guards so ridge can not move her out in the middle of the night . they will only be loyal to them , not ridge . later wyatt comes over and says he is not in the best mood today . she says he does not have to lose steffy . he can fight , that is the way she raised him . she explains to him the new security team and she will not jeopardize her husband 's health even if it is to keep his own son away . as they look in on eric he says that quinn needs her son so he wants wyatt to move in . donna comes home and stops by bill 's to find out about the wedding . he says they can not wait any longer for a teenage boy to come around . ridge and brooke discuss her needing to marry bill to get the shares when brooke tells him that rj has not come around yet . he still believes she and ridge ought to be together . ridge says he thinks that way too . she asks outright if he has feelings for her . he jokes that of course he does . brooke tells ridge that eric will eventually realize what he has done and kick quinn out . ridge says they do not have that long ; they need to get rid of her now . |

uh - oh . liam : all right . what did you do ? how did you do it ? bill : i 'm me . and you 're you , a computer nerd . but there are professionals out there even nerdier than you are . liam : it 's clever . it 's ... that 's clever . but i hate to break it you . even your computer nerd ca n't delete everything because i happen to have ... bill : psst . this ? you had to know from the moment you recorded me behind my back that i 'd be working on this . it 's over . get out of my chair . wyatt : wait , al - alison . s - slow down , i ca n't -- wait , what ? he 's there right now ? katie : what 's happening ? what ? wyatt : okay , if liam -- if liam leaves , if anybody leaves , just call me , okay ? all right . okay . bye . oh - ho - ho . katie : wyatt , what 's going on ? wyatt : dad 's back . katie : what do you mean , he 's back ? wyatt : he told her that he 's back as c.e.o . now . katie : how did that happen ? wyatt : i do n't know . katie : i mean , is n't liam just gon na go to the police with his recording ? wyatt : unless he somehow got rid of it . steffy : bill , what are you doing ? bill : taking back what 's mine . taking back what he stole from me ! steffy : what about all this talk of peace you promised ? i thought that 's what you wanted ! bill : i did , if liam would have cooperated , but he was n't smart enough ! liam : alison , pick up the damn phone . bill : `` alison , alison , pick up the phone . `` she does n't answer to you ! liam : then i 'll go to security myself . justin : they do n't answer to you , either . bill : i told you i regretted what happened at spectra . i apologized over and over again , and what did you do ? used my apology against me , backed me into a corner . your own father . well , that was a stupid mistake . liam : standing up for what 's right was not a stupid mistake . bill : you want to stand up for truth , great . you can do it all day long . but it does n't come first . neither does the law ! neither do your feelings ! there 's only one thing that comes first , one thing only , when your last name is spencer ! family ! we are , above all else , loyal to one another . like me or not , agree with me or not , i am still your father ! and that should have mattered ! i made a mistake , and i apologized , and that should have mattered , as well , but it did n't because you were too power - hungry to care . well , now you will pay . you think that matters ? you think you care now ? ! well , something tells me you probably do . katie : you need to go over there . wyatt : maybe i should go over there when the dust settles or when they get rid of the bodies . katie : you need to be a part of this . you might be able to defuse the situation . wyatt : katie -- katie : no , i have seen bill . he can go to dark places , especially when he lets his anger take over . wyatt : yeah , or when he feels the need to get revenge , which is exactly what 's happening right now . dad has never felt more betrayed by liam in his entire life , and i do n't want to get in the middle of that . katie : if he found a way to get rid of that evidence ... wyatt : he 'll be able to do whatever he wants to liam . bill : you had to know there 'd be consequences . steffy : do n't you do anything foolish . bill : like torching the spectra building ? steffy : yes . bill : except i had nothing to do with that . and there 's no evidence to the contrary . but if you think your word is enough , liam , then i suggest you call the police . steffy : oh , nobody 's calling the police , bill . bill : well , why not ? ! where 's your sense of fun ? you see , that 's your problem ! you 're mr . no fun ! let 's call lieutenant baker . we 'll order a bunch of hot dogs , and we 'll have a little picnic ! steffy : damn it , bill , stop it ! stop it right now ! evidence or not , you know what you did , and you know it was wrong . you crossed lines you should n't have , as did liam . god , you are father and son . how did you guys forget that ? bill : well , he 's the one who would n't compromise ! steffy : oh , no , no , do n't -- bill , you started this with your obsession to ruin spectra ! and then you come in here with promises of revenge , and for what ? all liam wants is just to be proud of his family company . and you . liam , your father wants you to thrive . he wants you to have this company someday . so let him help you . collaborate . make spencer what you dream it can be not because you stole it from your father -- because you guys are working together ! i 'm not gon na let this family fall apart . you guys are gon na come together . you 're gon na come together today . this company belongs to both of you . so find a way to run it together , right here , right now . liam : recording you ... was not my best moment . you hit me . bill : you deserved it . steffy : bill ! bill : but it was a mistake . there are a lot of things i should have done differently , reactions . but i am a man of my word . liam : yeah . you said you would get back at me , and i assume you still intend to . bill : do you have any idea how betrayed i felt ? liam : yeah , the bruise on my face sort of gave it away . bill : oh , hell , liam . i have punched more guys than i can even remember . i 'm talking about after that . the anger i felt , sitting in my house while you were sitting behind my desk . i wondered how would my father get revenge if i had hurt him like that ? what would he do ? disown me ? kill me ? do n't look so shocked . that 's the spencer way . eliminate your enemies . well , you should thank your wife . steffy has a way of calming me . she was my ... my voice of reason . you might even say that she became , uh , well ... you became my -- my confidant , did n't you ? steffy made me realize that there 's really only one thing i want . one thing . and you 're going to give it to me . your forgiveness . i want my family back . i want my son back . so if you will forgive me ... i will forgive you . i love you , son . i love you . liam : i love you , too , dad . | in his office liam seems concerned . he asks alison if they have hired new cleaning crew ; she says no . then he is distracted when steffy walks in . she tells him again that he has to meet bill half way but do away with the blackmail . he tells her to quit siding with bill like he is the victum . she says she is not ; she is only trying to get the family back together . he tells her that he has to be ready as bill already torched spectra so no telling what he would do to him . justin shows up at bill 's to show him what he was doing while bill was snoozing . supposingly it is a tape of the confession by bill so this is a start of his comeback to life . the computer wiz comes in and says it is done . he has deleted all on the harddrive so he is all set unless liam had backup copies somewhere else . bill thanks him and says he was worth every penny he paid him . steffy tells liam that all of this will go away if he just has a normal conversation . bill and justin walk in . liam smells something . justin says he was listening to what liam said about loyalty and his only loyalty is to dollar bill spencer . liam tells bill he should not be here and he can call the police if he does n't . bill smiles and says go ahead . liam is bumfuzzled . bill explains to him that there are nerds out there nerdier than him when it comes to computers and liam no longer has the taped confession he thought he had . surely he knew as long as bill was alive he would find that tape somehow . with liam crushed and dismayed bill snaps the tape in half and destroys it , even asking if he had any backup tapes no , he did n't think so . so go ahead and call the police and let them chew his ass out for calling them in for nothing . alison calls wyatt and tells him that his dad is at spencer and says he is now ceo again . maybe he should come over . |
pilot : i radioed the tower and informed them there 's been a delay . we have clearance to leave puerto vista as soon as they arrive . massimo : all right , thanks , jake . well , hopefully stephanie and brooke will get here soon . nick : i 'll try brooke 's cell again . i should have never let her go off like that . massimo : oh , dominick , listen -- she just lost her husband , you know ? she needs some time alone to say her final goodbyes . nick : i just wan na make sure she 's okay . come on , brooke , where the hell are you ? brooke : i 'm right here . nick : are you all right ? ridge : you bet she 's all right .

[ massimo sobbing ] my god ! this is a miracle . i mean -- i mean , how did this -- we saw you go into the furnace . ridge : yeah , i know . that furnace had a door in the back of it for cleaning ashes out . and that woman , anna , she was there . brooke : she pulled him to safety . massimo : what you 've been through -- ridge : hey -- what we 've all been through . i owe the three of you my life . not to mention $ 10 million in gold to my old man . nick : well , if you need a loan , i can help you out . ridge : no , you 've done enough . brooke told me how you made good on your promise . taking care of her when you thought i was dead . you 're a helluva little brother , little brother . massimo : wait till your mother and eric -- ridge : where are they , anyway ? massimo : there was some trouble at forrester , and eric had to fly back right away . but stephanie should be here any minute . stephanie : thank you , jake . is mr. marone on board ? pilot : he 's inside with nick . stephanie : and is brooke here as well ? brooke : i 'm right here . and i 'm not alone . bridget : hey , i figured you 'd need these . deacon : good call . thank you . bridget : oh , deacon , it 's gon na be okay . deacon : yeah ? you know something i do n't ? bridget : would i lie to you ? deacon : you never have . not that i can say the same . bridget : that 's true . people change . deacon : i dunno , i guess we both have this past year . i do n't -- i do n't get it . i did n't think you 'd ever even want to be in the same room with me . here you are , rushing to my rescue . again . why ? bridget : i do n't know . it 's hard to explain . i guess -- i mean , deacon , we were married . and i loved you . and i think that regardless of everything that 's happened , i 'm always gon na care about you . deacon : you know what i think one of my biggest regrets is ? that -- that somehow i managed to miss this entire transformation from this innocent young girl that i met to this amazing woman that 's sitting in front of me . darla : hey , sal . what is it ? oh , god , no -- it 's not macy ? sally ! sally : no . darla : then it 's me , huh ? the baby . you 're still angry , are n't you ? okay , i -- i can come back later . it 's fine . sally : darla -- stay . macy is going to need everybody who loves her around her now . especially now . darla : why ? what do you mean ? see for yourself . darla : oh -- sally : yeah . yeah . you know , quite frankly , i really did n't believe that anybody could sink that low ! but , obviously , they can . obviously , i was wrong ! amber : hey . hey , jeff , do you know -- do you know where ozzy is ? do you know where he is ? is he around ? could you call him for me ? call him in his office -- 'cause i need to talk to him . like -- right now . jeff : okay . no problem . amber : okay ? oscar : let 's get on that , all right ? we do n't got a lot of time . hey , where the hell you been ? amber : yeah . i 'm late , but i do n't need a lecture . oscar : okay , let 's start over . i 'm not the enemy , okay ? amber : sorry . sorry . i 'm just -- you know , i 'm -- i 'm fed up to here , y'know ? oscar : what , you and bridget go another round ? amber : she told deacon i should n't be living there . oscar : in his place with your kid ? amber : yeah . yeah , she fed him this bull about it 's gon na confuse eric . and deacon bought it . oscar : so he kicked you out ? amber : yeah . yeah , he cut me out of my little boy 's life again . not that i should be surprised . i mean , maybe -- maybe he 's right . maybe they 're just all right . maybe i really am just no good . oscar : amber , you 're talkin ' crazy . amber : what do you care ? oscar : you know what ? i do n't know . but listen , deacon might come around . amber : i do n't think so . oscar : oh , you do n't think so ? how do you know ? huh ? amber : are you kidding ? this is the story of my life . okay ? i mean , not that i ever get used to it . and how could i ? you know , my dad , he -- he left when i was a little girl , so i just -- i cut off all feelings for him . and the same with my mom . 'cause , you know , she just -- she would always just steer me the wrong way . and then my husband , he left . he left me , too . and now it 's my little boy . my precious little baby . deacon , he -- he wo n't let me be part of his life anymore , so -- god ! how much more of my heart can i just rip out and still have any left ?

you were there for the most important years of his life . so no matter what , you 're always gon na be a part of him . no matter what deacon or anybody says . and i know this sucks . it does . it sucks a lot . but i think you 're gon na bounce back . amber : how ? huh ? it just feels like there 's nothing left . oscar : oh ! nothing ? what are you saying nothing ? you got this job . right ? the big reopening . and let me tell you something , we 're gon na have to hoof it if we 're gon na be ready . and who better to lead the charge than ozzz 's promotions guru -- ambrosia moore . stephanie : i just did n't know how i was gon na go on . because all i could think about was the last time we 'd been with each other . we 'd been so angry . ridge : yeah , well -- we do n't need to go there , do we ? stephanie : no . no . we have a whole lifetime to make up for that . and a lot more . bridget : all right , you . you are going to eat this . every last bite of it , do you hear me ? deacon : were you this bossy when we were married ? bridget : i do n't remember . i blanked it all out . deacon : the whole enchilada , or just the part where i was a huge jerk . bridget : yeah , that pretty much was -- both : the whole enchilada . deacon : i screwed up , did n't i ? in ways i think i 'm just starting to realize now . bridget : i 'm gon na go . deacon : oh , you got a hot date ? bridget : not exactly . deacon : okay . well , then , what exactly ? bridget : a little presumptuous , are n't we ? deacon : no , no -- a lot presumptuous . because if you 're going where i think you are -- bridget : oh , come on , deacon . i 'll be fine -- deacon : and how many times am i gon na have to tell you -- oz marone is nothing but -- bridget : i know , i know . deacon -- i 'm a big girl . okay ? i know what i 'm doing . besides , you 're the one who taught me to look out for myself , right ? oscar : so you 're still in , right ? i can count on you ? amber : what if i 'm -- what if i 'm having second thoughts ? oscar : well , if you 're having second thoughts , then i 'd say that i blew a wad on those business cards for nothing . amber : oh , great . guilt . oscar : that 's right . whatever it takes , right ? as long you stick around . amber : you really need me ? you 're not just -- oscar : saying that to make you feel better ? amber : because , you know , if that 's the reason , i 'm not gon na fall for it -- oscar : all right . all right . fine , fine . you want the truth ? i 'll give it to you . here it is , plain and simple -- i believe in you , amber . i do -- i mean , you come in here with a run of awesome ideas . you got crazy energy , talent out the wazoo . i 'd be a crazy person to let you get away . what are you doing ? amber : what ? what ? huh ? a girl ca n't kiss up to her boss a little bit ? oscar : okay . okay . but i wan na tell you something about yourself you probably do n't already know . you do n't need to kiss up . not with everything you 've got going on -- forget about it . all right ?

amber : tell me , doctor -- am i pregnant ? eric : felicia forrester . felicia : i was n't sure that i would get through security now that i 'm on the competition 's payroll . eric : i was hoping that would come over and tell me that you had -- felicia : oh , that i had seen the error of my ways ? eric : you have n't . felicia : ridge told me that you were having a really hard time with this . you know , my working there , again , instead of here . eric : you ca n't have thought that i would be happy about it . felicia : i -- i just hoped that you would understand , and maybe , deep down , be , you know , a little excited ? you know , about seeing what thorne and i can do , working together ? eric : if you were working together here , i 'd be thrilled . felicia : dad . eric : look , felicia , you made your point . you felt that you would be overshadowed if you were working here . overshadowed by ridge . but what you call overshadowing , i call guidance , mentoring . felicia : i have hurt you . eric : i think you 've made a big mistake , that 's all . felicia : another one , you mean ? eric : i did n't say that . i know thorne wants to make big changes over there at spectra . he wants to raise that company to a new level of sophistication . felicia : that only you and ridge can attain . eric : honey , forrester 's headed for a very successful season . and something that spectra can not possibly compete with . and if thorne has convinced himself and you that he can , i think you 're both in for a very rude awakening . clarke : look , i know they 're all different -- very different , but when you have three totally original designers like amber and like felicia and like yours truly , what do you expect ? sally : oh , not that he 's doing anything remotely dull , like making excuses , right , bucky ? clarke : i 'm just pointing out that with three different designers , spectra can cover all its bases . we can appeal to a broader clientele . that means more prestige , more accomplishment , certainly more money in everybody 's pocket . it 's a win - win for everyone . what do you think , boss ? thorne : these do n't cut it . they 're not what we 're about . sorry , sal , we 're going to have to start over . dr. sobel : no , amber , you 're not pregnant . relieved ? amber : yeah . stephanie : i think it 's safe to say we all are . this could have been a very difficult situation . dr. sobel : i understand . the test for stds came back negative . i also have amber 's x - rays , the follow - up to her surgery . they arrived a few moments ago . stephanie : have you had a chance to look them over ? dr. sobel : yes . stephanie : and ? dr. sobel : would you prefer to have this conversation in private ? amber : she 'll find out about it anyways . could you just tell me , was there scar tissue ? is that why dr . wilson said i could n't have kids ? dr. sobel : there does n't appear to be any blockage . stephanie : so she can get pregnant ? dr. sobel : i do n't see why she could n't . but , as we discussed , carrying a child would put both you and the baby in serious jeopardy . now if , at some point in the future , you decide you want to become a mother , you may want to consider other options . a surrogate , for instance . do you have any more questions for me ? well , i have a consult in radiology . please , feel free to use my office as long as you need . stephanie : dr. sobel , thank you very much for everything . i 'll go take care of the bill . amber : thomas ? i am so sorry . i really had no idea that i could get pregnant . you believe me , do n't you ? come on . please tell me that you believe me ? amber : really ? thomas : of course . i mean , it was pretty obvious amber : i know how this looks , okay ? i mean -- but i would never try to trap be more careful in the future . amber : i do n't know . i mean , once your family finds out about this , will we have a future ? felicia : you know , you 're sounding more and more like ridge . eric : well , honey , you 're not talking to ridge now , you 're talking to me . you 're talking to your father . the reason i founded this company was to create a family business . a place where all my children could work together under one roof . felicia : yeah , where we 'd all be given a chance to shine . as long as it does n't take the spotlight away from ridge , though , right ? eric : look , whatever mistakes i 've made , they do not justify thorne -- felicia : thorne 's betrayal or my defection ? eric : which can only lead to disappointment for both of you . now , look , as much as i know thorne wants this new and improved spectra to succeed , it 's not going to , because -- felicia : spectra is striving to be something it will never be ? eric : yes , exactly . felicia : well , i guess no one told nick marone that . because he seemed pretty impressed with the place when i showed it to him earlier today . eric : nick marone ? felicia , what the hell are you doing ? you trying to cut your own family 's throats . using your personal relationships to undermine my company ? my , god , how could you do that ? how could thorne let you do that ? felicia : wait , wait ! not so fast . if you think that thorne put me up to this , you are wrong . eric : oh , god , your mother does n't think i understand thorne 's pain , well , maybe i do n't . but i 'm not going to allow anymore of these betrayals . these deceptions . and i 'm going to put a stop to it right now . clarke : you 're saying these stink ? thorne : no , clarke , not at all . they 're elegant . they 're edgy . exotic . there 's just still something missing . that magic that forrester seems to weave into all of its designs . it 's not here . clarke : well , maybe we should sprinkle some fairy dust on it or something . darla : come on , clarke , i think you 're taking this the wrong way . clarke : oh , yeah ? well , tell me , mr. one - for - all and - all - for - one , mr . rallying speech about how talented we are ? how we 're gon na take on forrester and beat 'em at their own game ? thorne : clarke , as you know , we 're not selling forrester knocks off anymore , okay ? we just have n't found our own magic , all right ? but we will . clarke : dad forrester would know what to do if he were here . thorne : well , he 's not here . and we do n't need him . i 'm gon na make these designs work . clarke : but you just said that we were going to throw these away . thorne : i know what i said , clarke . but each one of these has their strong points . sally : just not strong enough to conquer the mighty duo of ridge and eric forrester . hmm ? come on , bucky , back to the old drawing board . literally . darla : would you like me to stay , honey ? give you a little pep talk . thorne : no , honey , i need to do this on my own . amber : oh , no , no , i 'm fine now . yeah , but that 's the last time we 're ordering take - out from that place . yeah . do n't feel bad . okay ? talk to you later . bye . stephanie : and what was that about ? amber : looks like i was n't all alone . a lot of other spectra employees got sick , too . stephanie : food poisoning . amber : bad tuna sandwiches . well , looks like we 're done here . stephanie : and what did you plan on doing today , missy ? amber : well , i was planning on going back to work . stephanie : not so fast . we 're not done with this . thomas : look , i can save us a lot of time , all right ? amber and i talked already . and we realize our relationship has moved pretty quickly , but after this scare , we 'll be a lot more responsible . stephanie : oh . so you 're just going to continue having a sexual relationship , but your going to use protection . thomas : we 're in love . you ca n't expect us not to -- stephanie : what i expect is for you to wake up and get it . amber : look , stephanie , i swear , i would 've never thought that -- stephanie : amber , that 's just the problem , honey , you do n't think . you just get yourself in these situations . now you ignored your father , and you ignored me , and you continued to see one another , and we practically had a disaster on our hands . why ? because you have the hots for amber ? well , honey , life is not just about what feels good . there are other things . responsibility , ethics -- what 's right , what 's wrong . this relationship is wrong for so many reasons . you 've got to end it now . sally : all right , einstein , come on , give it to me straight . darla : what ? give you what ? sally : tell me what your husband really thinks about these designs . darla : well , he told you what he thinks . sally : yes , but not what he intends to do about it . darla : well , he 's working on that right now . sally : well , he 's going to have to . darla : i thought you had faith in thorne . sally : i do , i do , but i just -- darla : just what ? come on , spill it . sally : well , it 's about eric forrester . i just saw him charge by the door . and he did n't look too happy . darla : oh , great . you think he knows ? sally : what , about my connection with jackie m , huh ? well , i 'd say it 's a safe bet . and he 's probably headed for thorne 's office right now for a final showdown . [ thorne thinking ] eric : you 're not a designer , thorne . you 're a nuts and bolts guy . leave the designing to ridge and me . thorne : i can do this . i have to do this . eric : the hell you do . and i 'm not going to let you . darla : you know , we should n't assume the worst , sal . sally : you did n't see eric . i would 've sworn i saw steam coming out of his ears . darla : well , that does n't necessarily mean -- okay , we both know what that means . sally : yes , we do . i means the king of forrester is n't used to being bested . especially by a bunch of raggle - taggle renegades led by his outcast son . and now with felicia going over to the enemy and spectra couture getting a thumbs up from the jackie m head honcho -- darla : he feels threatened . he feels threatened personally , professionally . sally : of course . and you know what family business means to him . and now it 's all splintering away right before his eyes . and if he does n't do something to stop the hemorrhaging -- darla : exactly . i think he 's just going to barge in there and just come on way too strong . sally : and then the dam will burst . hmm ? darla : exactly . and thorne is still hurting . only , i do n't think eric realizes still how much , you know ? if he goes in there , pushes all the wrong buttons , i know he is going hear things from his son that he has never heard before . and does n't want to hear . thorne : what are you doing here , dad ? eric : oh , i should think that that would be obvious , given all the stunts you 've pulled . thorne : if you 're talking about felicia , i needed a designer , and felicia needed some place to be creative away from ridge 's big ego . so i hired her . now if you have a problem with that -- eric : i have a problem with a lot of what you 've been doing lately . thorne : such as ? eric : nick marone . i understand he was over here earlier . thorne : actually , i was out of the building . but i was told that he was very , very impressed . eric : damn it , thorne . you know how important that account is to us . you were filling -- you were filling those orders for years before marone bought that chain . thorne : exactly . and now that i 'm president of spectra , i 'm gon na do the same thing here . except with far better designs than forrester has . eric : oh , come on , thorne . you do n't understand the first thing about design . you never have . you 're in way over your head . do n't you get that ? [ thorne thinking ] you 've never understood design , thorne . never understood design . never understood -- [ echoing ] thorne : i 'll tell you what i get . i get that you want me to fail . that you and ridge want me to prove you right . well , it 's not gon na happen , because i can do this . and i 'm going to do this ! eric : even if it means blowing up this family from the inside out forever ? tearing apart the company that i spent my entire life building ? my god , thorne , all i 'm asking for is a little loyalty from my own son . ca n't you give me that ? or do n't you have any loyalty left ? answer me ! answer me , thorne ! thomas : you ca n't dictate my life to me anymore than my dad can . stephanie : that 's not what this is about . thomas : oh . oh , yeah , it 's about right and wrong . well , what amber and i have is n't wrong . all right , this is the last time i 'm going to say this . i 'm 18 years old , i know what 's best for me , and amber 's what 's best for me . okay , maybe she 's not who you and dad would choose , but guess what ? it 's not up to you or anyone else in this family . i know what i feel . and i now how amber makes me feel . and i 'm not just talking about sex . i 'm talking about something much deeper . a connection i 've never had with anyone . maybe you 've never felt anything like that , but i 've been lucky enough to find it with amber . and i 'm not just going to toss it away because my grandmother orders me to . i want you and dad to back off , or this is gon na backfire on both of you . stephanie : and what does that mean ? thomas : it means you keep pushing , amber and i 'll do exactly what you 're scared to death we 'll do . that 's right , grandma , we 'll take off . we 'll get as far from l.a. as we can , where we wo n't be hassled . amber : okay , okay , hold on . why does n't everyone take a deep breath so no one says something that they regret , okay ? thomas : the only thing i regret is putting up with this as long as i have . i 'm sick of ultimatums . i 've had it with dad and the restraining order . i 've had it with you telling me what i 'm going to do . all i really needed you to do is listen . to hear what i 'm about . to hear what amber and i are about . but hey , why should i be any different , right ? you 've bossed everyone around in this family your whole life , dictated what they 're going to do . well , it ai n't happening that way with me . i 'm not afraid to stand up to you . or tell you how it 's going to be . either you accept amber as the woman i want to be with or we 'll go take off , start a new life somewhere else . it 's up to you . what 's it gon na be ? | amber is told that she is not pregnant . she can get pregnant , but can not carry a baby to term without putting her life and her babies life in danger . stephanie still tries to continue to convince the two that the relationship should be ended , which only pushes the two of them closer . thomas threatens that they will run away together and get married if his family does n't back off . felicia lets it slip that nick was at spectra and really pisses eric off . thorne tells clarke that the designs they have now are not good enough . privately he looks at them again knowing that he can fix them and bring them up to standards to compete with forrester . eric comes in to confront him about going after jackie m. eric again asks if he is trying to destroy the whole family . the more eric yells at him , the more determined thorne gets to do this . when eric asks if there are any loyalties left , thorne does n't answer , even after eric yells at him a second time for an answer . |
stephanie : i ca n't eat . i ca n't sleep . i 'm just -- i 'm consumed with this . taylor : anxiety when there 's an unexpected life change is not abnormal . stephanie : i do n't feel anxious , i 'm angry . taylor : your husband left you . stephanie : i 'm not angry with him . i 'm angry with brooke . maybe anger 's is n't even what i really feel . i want to kill her . literally . i want her life to end . because i realize that just getting her out of our lives does n't -- it does n't matter anymore , because she keeps popping back up . i 'd like to just take her face and wipe it off the planet . taylor : stephanie , these thoughts are very destructive . stephanie : you know , whenever i think about her , i feel that -- i feel as though people are laughing at me . everyone . my family , everyone . taylor : no , no , your family is very concerned about you . stephanie : god , if one more person in my family tries to keep a newspaper from me -- taylor : you 've seen it . stephanie : of course , it 's everywhere . it 's all -- it 's just -- `` brooke and eric . fashion dynamic duo together again . `` it 's all her fault , you know . she 's done this to me all over again . taylor : it 's only natural to want to assign blame when things in our life are going very wrong . stephanie : well , it is wrong . she 's wrong . look what she 's done to us . to our family . to your marriage , to my marriage , to bridget 's . taylor : i know , but let 's focus on you . stephanie : i want her to pay for what she 's done . i want my revenge . taylor : stephanie , until you get these feelings under control , you have got to stay as far away from brooke as possible .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : pam is desperate to see you and me together again , and so in her mind , she 's -- she 's just twisted everything so it 's seems perfectly reasonable and justifiable . eric : yeah , but how long has she been off her medication ? stephanie : well , according to mother , a number of months , but she 's been off her meds before . i do n't think that 's what this is . i think that something else has happened , something that 's just pushed her over the edge . eric : ( sighs ) for her to just snap like this ? for her to snap like this and -- and blackmail donna this way ? stephanie : well , she 's -- she 's frightened donna so badly . that 's why she agreed to this quick divorce . eric : ( sighs ) oh , god . the more i hear , the more -- the more sense it makes to me that donna would be able to turn her back on me so abruptly . stephanie : she also made donna promise she would n't tell anybody . fortunately , she confided in owen , and he came to me . and he was right to do so . i mean , i 've got to get -- i 've got ta figure out where pam is . i 've got ta get her into a hospital . eric : yes , yes , but how are you gon na do that ? you ca n't involve the police . stephanie : no , i know . i - i have an idea that -- i think i know how i can get her to come here , but i 'm gon na need your help . you 've got ta trust me , eric . . bipolar disorder is challenging . [ scene_break ] rick : taylor , please . please do n't go down this path again . ridge is gon na let you down like he 's done time and time again with my mom , with you . you know . you 've been there . you 've done that . why would you set yourself up to get hurt again when i can offer you so much more ? we could have had a wonderful life together . and now that 's not gon na happen , is it ? because of ridge . rick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : mm . ridge : have i eased your mind ? brooke : why ? was i anxious about something ? ridge : oh , then it worked . brooke : ( chuckles ) i am concerned about rick , though . i mean , if taylor 's still hung up on you , they certainly ca n't go through with this marriage . it just ca n't happen . ridge : yeah , taylor knows that . she 's planning on talking to him today . brooke : oh , he 's gon na be devastated . but it 's better to find out now than after the wedding . ( cell phone rings ) ( rings ) ridge : hello ? rick : hope you 're happy . ridge : what can i do for you , rick ? rick : you can meet me at the sky lounge now . ridge : all right , i 'll be there soon . brooke : is he all right ? ridge : he and taylor must have had that talk . he wants to meet me at forrester . brooke : i 'll go with you . ridge : no , no , no . let me -- let me deal with it . he 's obviously looking for someone to blame here , so if it makes him feel better to dump on me , so be it .

[ scene_break ] donna : i 'm so sorry . i - i would do and give anything if i could . i -- eric : so would i . so would we all . but tomorrow , uh , somebody else will be sitting behind this desk , and forrester creations will be changed forever . donna : i hate the thought of it as much as you do . but at least we 're all still here . and your influence will continue to be felt . eric : through my designs , yeah . but katie 's the new c.e.o . of forrester now . i 'm sure that she and spencer are celebrating as we speak . [ scene_break ] katie : thank you . bill : you 're welcome . katie : so , mr. spencer , i think a toast is in order . bill : absolutely . to the newest , smartest , sexiest c.e.o . in the country . katie : actually , i was going to toast to you . it 's not every day a man realizes his dream . you 've wanted forrester creations for a long time . now you have it . ( glasses clink ) bill : but you know what ? somewhere along the way , um , acquiring forrester creations ceased to be the reason i got out of bed every morning . you became that motivation . katie : ( chuckles ) what happened today must be a huge rush for you . bill : it is . but it would n't be nearly as satisfying if i did n't have you to share it with . [ scene_break ] donna : honey , it 's late . can -- can we just go home , please ? just finish this tomorrow , and katie -- katie wo n't mind . eric : uh , you do n't think so ? because i - i 'd really hate to get off on the wrong foot with our new c.e.o . donna : look , she knows how hard this is for you and for all of us , and she 's not gon na make it more difficult . eric : you have a lot of faith in her , do n't you ? donna : yeah , i do . and , you know what ? you 're -- you 're not gon na have to make these -- these enormous quarterly payments anymore . as of today , you are officially pressure - free . i - i - i mean , you can focus on designing -- designing and enjoying your life . eric : so i should -- i should look on the bright side , huh ? donna : yeah . i just -- i do n't want you to think that this is the end , because it 's not . i mean , besides the company changing hands , everything is really pretty much the same around here . donna : the family 's by your side , and your lovely wife is by your side . and she 's loving you and encouraging you and supporting you , just like you 've always been there for me when i needed you . oh , eric . eric , money and -- and power , it 's just fleeting . but what you and i have , it 's for all time .

( sighs ) spencer is the real boss here . and that puts katie right smack in the middle between her family , the pledge she made to us , and a guy she thinks she 's in love with who ca n't be trusted . if that is n't an impossible situation , i do n't know what is . brooke : i think katie 's more infatuated with bill . he 's like no man she 's ever known . and he intrigues her . but whatever her feelings are for bill , i know how much family means to her , just as i know how much it meant to you when eric put you in charge of the company . ridge : look , as much as i wish things were different , i realize i have to deal with them as they are . ( sighs ) and you know something , logan ? with you by my side , i think i can do that . in fact , with you by my side , i think i can get through anything .

you and bill can go on pretending that this is fine , but it is not . you 're better than this , mom ! i know you are ! | at the boutique , hope tells liam that she still has reservations . he asks her to decide when she is the happiest when she has the ring on or off . because taking the ring off has never fixed anything and always made it worse and he does n't want that to happen again . walking away is not the answer . she retorts that neither is jumping into another wedding . he holds the ring and says this ring is his word and if she takes it that she will see that she is the only woman in his future . she knows that liam feels like he has to prove himself to her that he is committed , but she does n't think she needs proof . she just needs to be certain . she says he can do that but she still says no . it ca n't be from something he does or says , but something inside her . she says she has to feel it and she does n't .not right now , so no , she can not wear his ring . she takes it while he is still holding it and gently pushes it toward his chest . he looks shocked but tips his head toward her like to say okay . he looks toward wyatt and then walks out . maya sees the huge ring on caroline 's finger and makes mention that he proposed . rick says yes . maya says she should n't be here ; they want to be alone . rick says she mentioned that she needed to talk to him . maya says it does n't matter now . she starts to leave and tells them congratulations again . rick says that means a lot . at the door she says what sounds like a final goodbye to rick . caroline says that was a bit awkward and maya may not have come over to congratulate them , but she did and that was very classy of her . rick comments that she was classy too . she says the best part of their lives is not in the past or even in the future , but right now . she 's never been this happy . katie is looking and feeling pretty forlorn and lonely and ready to go home when donna comes in . she wants to know if there has been any fallout from the board meeting . katie asks if brooke has said anything . donna says no , she and bill have pretty much kept to themselves at their home . even she has n't seen much of them . bill tells brooke that he missed the big diamond reveal today but he was in training . he ran five miles . she should have come as it keeps the mind refocused . he kisses her and says he does have a couple of other things up his sleeve that may accomplish the same purpose . he proposes that they make reservations and go out and he will cheer her up . she nixes it though and says she does n't want to do that to her children with added publicity .or what it will do to katie . |

[ scene_break ] steffy : you heard liam . he 's not ready to make a decision . he 's focused on being a parent . hope : exactly , being a parent , and he has a daughter here that he has an amazing bond with . i mean , it 's so obvious kelly loves her daddy so much , and i think it 's fair to want beth to have a similar bond . i mean , we were n't there for the first months of her life . she -- those were critical months . steffy : oh , hope , she was well taken care of . hope : no , i know that , and i will always be thankful for that . it 's just right now liam is just focusing on rebuilding his family with the four of us . steffy : the four ? hope : no , i -- steffy : what , are you pregnant ? hope : no , i just -- i 'm ... i 'm talking about douglas . steffy : you 're not douglas ' mother . hope : no , i know that . his mother died , but thomas is , um ... a little unstable and not really able to care for douglas , so ... steffy : so what are you trying to say ? hope : well , that liam is going to do what is best for all the children , which means bonding with beth , giving stability to douglas , remaining active in kelly 's life . i mean , he 's always going to be there for her . you never have to worry about that . steffy : look at you , making decisions for liam . hey , you know , you 're crazy . like , you 're -- you 're seriously crazy . you just barge in here , and you start making demands just like when you barged in here , and you took my daughter away from me . hope : it is my -- steffy : hey , i tried to put myself in your shoes . i tried to be sympathetic . i tried to be sensitive . but obviously , you think your family is better than mine . and do n't even get me started how you think my nephew is yours . hope : steffy , i have n't -- steffy : oh , stop , stop , stop . i do n't wan na hear it , 'cause you 're selfish , and you 're so self - absorbed . you do n't even see that liam 's not going along with it . hope : that 's not true . steffy : you trying to make a commitment with him , but it 's not happening . liam said he 's focused on both of his children , and clearly , he cares about both of us . he 's got a lot to think about . but whatever his decision is , it 's his decision , not yours . [ exhales deeply ] | hope continues to liam to tell steffy now how he feels . it is hurting her to let her think something that is not true . zoe tells thomas it was tough to be there and see her father sentenced but now they have to move on and have closure . he says closure for him will be when he gets the last logan out of forrester 's . she notices shauna is on the `` in `` side and he confides she might be the whole key to all of this . she notices even hope and brooke are `` out `` . he says that will mean so much to steffy if liam would go back to steffy . ridge has been sucked up like this all his life but it is not too late for liam . shauna has her last words with ridge and says she is glad buckingham has been sentenced and again how sorry she is that her baby girl got caught up in this scheme . he says all to the good if they can get on with their lives and he can move back in with brooke . she says he is a good dad . he says he is trying . she confides that she was young and stupid and always wanted something beyond her reach and she thought she could find that in the casino . she met a lot of men during that time , some nice and very sophisticated but nothing would ever compare them , not even close to ridge . when she got pregnant she did not even know who the father was but fell in love with baby flo 's little face and can not turn her back on her now . she wonders if there is any chance , just a glimmer that flo could come back to work at forrester . let the logan 's work around her and see how much she loves all of them . he listens intently but makes no comment . she says she had better go but not before she says she hopes brooke appreciates him . all she knows is that she would never turn him out of her house no matter what he did . thomas fills zoe in that this is not a recent thing . it has been going on for decades . his grandmother tried to get rid of brooke , the slut from the valley , years ago and hope is just like her mother and she needs to learn that logan 's do not always get what they want . |
stephanie : tom . tom , do n't go . thomas : well , what 's it gon na be ? are you ready to accept amber and me as a couple ? because if you want me to stick around , i 've got to hear you say it . can you be cool with this ? with us ? darla : sal , you think i should go in there , make sure everything 's okay between thorne and his dad ? sally : honey , i think it 's better if we let them duke this one out on their own . darla : i do n't understand why eric is so upset in the first place . sally : we did hire his daughter and now we 're going after some of his biggest accounts . darla : well , yeah , that 's just good old - fashioned competition . thorne has looked up to his father his entire life . you know , what is it gon na take for him to give back just a shred of that respect ? god , even stephanie understands what he 's doing and why he has to prove himself . but eric , i do n't know . you know , he says he understands , and he made a big deal about giving thorne that line , but nothing 's changed . eric does n't want thorne running forrester , eric does n't want thorne running any company . thorne ca n't win . and you know , tell you the truth , sal , eric does n't think he can win . thorne : nothing i am doing here is disloyal . there are no more knock - offs . and i have hired my own design team . eric : your sister ! you hired your own sister ! you 're putting her right in the middle of this feud ! thorne : there 's no feud ! eric : oh , the hell there is n't ! you 're holding a grudge , thorne , and you wo n't let it go . you 're forcing everybody in this family to choose sides . now what 's that going to do to felicia and ridge ? thorne , felicia needs her family 's support right now . thorne : well , then he should be supporting her . eric : what , the way you are ? manipulating her to use her personal relationship with nick to get the jackie - m account away from us ? thorne : that 's not what i 'm doing -- it 's not what i 'm doing ! but i am not making decisions based on what 's best for ridge . eric : oh , who 's it best for ? thorne , i 've got to tell you , i do n't see anybody coming out the winner here . your mother is forced to stand there and watch her kids go at each other 's throats . and i 'm forced to referee between her and brooke . thorne : so , this whole family 's coming unglued and i 'm responsible ? is that it ? is that what you 're saying ? eric : you 're opening old wounds here . this family 's bleeding out . you 're forcing everyone to choose sides . and you 're taking the whole mess public . why ? why are you doing that ? stephanie : i ca n't promise you that . thomas : fine . we 're out of here . stephanie : tom . i ca n't let you walk out of here , either . thomas : that 's not your choice to make . stephanie : well , i guess in a way it is , though , is n't it ? hear me out . amber : oh , come on . please ? please ? stephanie : tom , you just said that i do n't listen to you . that actually no one listens to you . and there 's a lot of truth to that . so maybe we need to change it . thomas : oh , really ? stephanie : yes , really . you know , this relationship has come as quite a shock to your me and to your father . so maybe we just need some time to adjust to the idea . stephanie : i know . i know . i overreacted today . thomas : to a tuna fish sandwich . stephanie : well , nobody knew it was a tuna fish sandwich , did they , tom ? and maybe some good has come out of this pregnancy scare . i 'd like to think we all learned a lesson today . thomas : i know , i know . we need to be a lot more careful . stephanie : well , you should have been , should n't you ? thomas : and what did you learn , exactly ? oh , no , wait , let me guess . you have even more ammo against us now ? i bet you called my dad already , did n't you ? that 's why you 're stalling . you know what ? i ca n't deal with this . let 's go . amber : no , no , no , no . thomas , thomas , thomas , wait . just one sec , okay ? what were you gon na to say ? stephanie : it 's clear to me that you have very strong feelings for one another . thomas : it is ? stephanie : yes , because you stood up for each other at a very difficult moment . and that says a lot . amber : what ? stephanie : maybe you need some space . maybe you need some time to sort of figure out what exactly it is that the two of you share . if that 's the case , then i would like it to be here . amber : what do you mean ? stephanie : i think you should move in here with eric and with me . you do need a place , do n't you ? amber : yeah , but -- stephanie : well , bridget 's off in copenhagen for the rest of the year . plenty of room . amber : room ? for me ? thomas : no , no , no , no , there 's a catch . stephanie : it 's a win - win situation . you need a place to stay . eric and i get to keep an eye on you . and the two of you have the opportunity to show the rest of the family how special this relationship is . amber : really , stephanie ? i mean , you would do that ? thomas : i want to talk to amber about this in private . stephanie : fine . sally : come on , now , honey . eric loves thorne . of course , he does . darla : i know . i know . i know . i know he loves him , but he just expects him to stay in this little box . sally : well , you 've got to remember , behind that dimpled - attractive exterior , lies a very , very proud man . now what does it say to the world if his first- born son has to get away from him in order to be successful ? darla : well , it says that eric has been wrong -- very wrong -- about thorne , and what he 's capable of . i just wish he could face it . you know , admit it . that 'll probably never happen . sally : well , possibly not . but it would mean the world to thorne if it did happen , would n't it ? darla : sal , you have no idea . probably change his life . thorne : so it 's pointless , what i 'm trying to do here ? that 's what you 're trying to tell me ? eric : thorne , you 've made your point . we took advantage of you at forrester . we did n't give you enough credit . i acknowledged that . i apologized for it . i gave you the designs that you stole from us . an entire collection . and you took it . but it was n't enough for you . you came back for more . you made a move to buy my company . thorne : i should n't have done that , dad . eric : you should n't have done any of it ! why ca n't you just let this go ? thorne : make things easier for you , would n't it ? eric : for me ? for you , thorne . i mean , look at the way you 're living your life . with all this anger and this bitterness . you 're just wallowing in it . that ca n't be the way you want to live your life . it 's not the kind of life i want for you . i love you . i want you to be happy . thorne : that 's the key to happiness ? for me just to give up ? eric : well , you think punishing me is the answer ? thorne : no , but -- eric : god , then why are you doing this ? why are you putting us all through this ? why put yourself through it ? thorne : yeah , why bother , huh ? why bother when no good can come from it ? when everything 's just going to blow up in my face ? because that 's what you think , right ? i 'm just tearing this family apart , because i have a very slim shot at success , right ? that 's what you think , is n't it ? is n't it ? admit it , dad . admit it . eric : all right , yes , i admit it . that 's exactly what i think . thorne : that 's why i 'm doing it . eric : because it 's impossible ? thorne : because you think it 's impossible . because you do n't think that i have it in me to succeed . amber : i ca n't believe this . thomas : neither can i . amber : thomas , she really wants me to stay here . i mean , this could be great . thomas : yeah , i do n't know how great it would be , because we would n't have any privacy . amber : yeah , but think what we would have , though . i mean , this could be huge . i mean , a chance to win stephanie over . and with her on our side , everyone else would have to start coming around . i mean , that 's what happened with rick and me . when we first started out , she took me in and she became our ally . thomas : she 's not our ally . five minutes ago , she was telling us we could n't see each other anymore . look , i 'm sorry , okay , i know you 're excited about this . but i ca n't shake this feeling that we 're being played . ridge : hello ? stephanie : ridge . ridge : mother ? stephanie : i need you to come to the house . tom and amber are here . ridge : what ? why ? stephanie : look , it 's too long to go into . suffice to say , they wanted to run off together . ridge : oh , what ? stephanie : i 've stopped them . i 've stopped them . but i need your help . come over here right now . ridge : i 'll be right there . stephanie : that did n't take long . so is this an offer that you ca n't refuse ? amber : it 's a very generous offer , it is . but , um , we do n't know . stephanie : what 's holding you back ? amber : i guess i 'm just a little confused . now , earlier , you were reaming us out , telling us that our relationship was wrong . and now , all of a sudden , you want to give us a chance ? come on , stephanie , what 's the deal ? thomas : you 're bribing us to stay put , are n't you ? stephanie : well , even if i am , it benefits you , does n't it ? amber : yeah , but i need it to be so much more than that . i want a chance , a chance to show you that i am a different person . stephanie : i 'd like to believe that . amber : that 's all i need . that 's all i need . i just need a willingness that you 're going to believe in me again . because if you have that , if you keep that , if you keep an open mind , then you will see that i am with thomas for all the right reasons . i just need a chance , stephanie . i need a real chance to show you that . stephanie : i 'll give you that chance . amber : thank you . thank you so much , stephanie . you are not going to be sorry about this . okay ? stephanie : i 'm sure i wo n't be . eric : thorne , you have been successful . you have a wonderful family . you have a loving , supportive wife . thorne : i know that . but in business , in the fashion world , you do n't think i stand a chance . eric : well , son , you 're trying to turn a knock - off shop into a couture house . it 's an exercise in futility . thorne : oh , really ? is that what you told ridge when he came here ? did you come charging over here and demanding that he quit , to save himself the humiliation of failure ? did you , dad ? no . because that message was meant solely for me . eric : thorne , that was entirely different . ridge is a designer , he has a worldwide reputation . he has experience -- thorne : yeah , whatever , okay ? eric : look , thorne , there 's no shame in admitting that you 've bitten off more than you can chew . i mean , nobody 's going to think any differently of you . thorne : maybe i want people to think differently of me . maybe i want to think differently of myself . to erase the seeds of doubt that you planted in my brain , dad . eric : that i planted ? thorne : you did n't even know you were doing it , okay ? i realize that . but it was there -- every damn day of my life , it was there . that same message , the same one that you are bringing me here today . `` ridge could do it , but you ca n't , thorne . so quit . do n't even try . `` eric : son . thorne : `` why ? `` and you know what , dad ? you want to know the worst -- the worst part is , i believed it , because it was coming from you . my father . my father , the smartest man on the earth . the guy who knew everything . so i listen to you . i listen to you . and i did quit , i stopped , dad , and i sat on the sidelines . because i did n't want to embarrass myself . and i did n't want to embarrass you . did n't want to embarrass you . who 's voices are still there today , even when you are not here . they 're telling me to quit . they 're telling me it 's hopeless . to give up . but you know what the difference is ? you know what the difference is today ? i 'm not listening . i 'm not listening . because i 'm going to find out how far i can go . and i 'm not going to ask for your permission , i 'm not going to ask for forgiveness and i am sure as hell not going to feel guilty . and if my being a success or trying to be a success is so damn hard on this family , then maybe the family failed me . it failed me ! amber : you think i 'm making a mistake . thomas : it 's just really hard for me to trust grandma right now . amber : she probably does think that we 're gon na fall apart . thomas : this is like , reverse psychology . amber : so what ? let her think that . it 's still a step in the right direction . she 's opening her doors to me . which means , she is opening the doors to us , just a little . hey , this means we can finally hang out like a normal couple . thomas : that would be nice . amber : mm - hmm . thomas : and we are pretty darn cute together . grandma would n't be able to resist us . amber : yeah , well i ca n't resist you . ridge : where are they ? stephanie : on the terrace . do n't go there . ridge : mother , what 's going on ? stephanie : i took her to the doctor today for a pregnancy test . it was negative , it was negative . and they did those std tests . those were negative , too . it was food poisoning , thank god . ridge : wait , i thought amber could n't get pregnant . stephanie : well that 's what she thought , but she was wrong . and i know what you 're gon na say . but i was there . i saw the look on her face . she 's not trying to trap him . ridge : this has gone too far . stephanie : i agree with you . but i want to tell you what your son said . he told me they 'd run off together -- ridge : for god sakes . stephanie : and he 's serious . i 've asked amber to come and live here . well , do you want them to run off together ? i do n't know what else to do . i mean , what 's behind door number three . ridge : well , you 're enabling them . stephanie : no , i 'm not . i 'm going to use this as an opportunity to make them understand what a mistake this relationship is . let 's just hope this is the beginning of the end of this relationship . eric : thorne , listen to me . you 've got this all wrong . thorne : no doubt . eric : look , everybody has different abilities , different talents . we 've always encouraged each and every one of you to find your own niche . thorne : so long as we stayed out of ridge 's way . eric : no . thorne : we were n't supposed to challenge ridge , dad . in anything . it was an unwritten rule . eric : i do n't agree with that . thorne : oh , come on , dad , you showed it a thousand different ways . ridge would come home with a `` b `` and you would kick his butt . what the hell 's a matter with him , why does n't he try harder ? i 'd come home with a `` b , `` the same class , the same teacher . `` good for you , throne . way to go . `` i know you were n't trying to hurt me , dad . it was n't your fault that you could n't see in me what you saw in him . i wonder sometimes . what did i do ? what did that little kid ever do to convince you that he just did n't have it in him ? that he just was n't going to make you proud ? eric : but i was , thorne . i was , i was proud . thorne : yeah , that i was doing the best i could ? given my limitations ? you want me to let go of this anger ? i 'm trying . but you want me to give up , you want me to quit . or buy into this idea that i do n't i have a shot . well forget it , 'cause i 'm not gon na do it . not anymore . because i can do this , dad . and i 'm going to do this . and not just for myself , but i 'm going to do it for everyone out there who quit , or who gave up too soon because they never had anyone to tell them that , `` i believe in you . `` there 're a lot of us out there , dad . and a lot of us are in your own family . eric : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , son . | darla can see that eric will not accept thorne 's assertiveness . eric admits that he does n't see thorne as successful on his own . thomas does n't feel that his grandmother is being sincere . |
taylor : do n't you dare come in here and try to take my baby away . brooke : i 'm not . nick : brooke , maybe this is n't the time . taylor : get out ! brooke : no , all i want to do is tell you -- taylor : i do n't care ! brooke : taylor , you really need to listen . taylor : no , i want you to stay away from me . and do n't you dare go near my baby . now get out !

[ scene_break ] taylor : where the hell is security ? somebody get her out of here . nick : honey , please . now brooke is just as shocked and confused as we are . if we could all just calm down and try to make some -- taylor : calm down ? brooke is the donor of our child , nick . how could this even be possible ? brooke : there was a mix - up in the fertility lab . i gave an egg donation many , many months ago for medical research , and my medical records still said the name `` marone . `` it was some stupid clerical error . taylor : a clerical error ? ( scoffs ) my life is turned upside down because of a clerical error ? brooke : i 'm sorry . taylor : really ? you wanted a child with nick . is n't -- is n't that what you wanted ? brooke : taylor , a lot has happened since then . we 've all moved on . and , yes , this baby -- it was conceived with my egg , but it 's your son , taylor . this child is yours .

( inhales deeply ) years ago , you were a warm , loving woman completely devoted to your family . but your children grew up , and you could n't let them live their own lives , especially ridge . no woman was good enough for him , and certainly not a woman who brought to him such love and fulfillment as brooke did . and so she was a threat to you . but really , you were jealous . you wanted ridge and the children for yourself , because the truth of the matter is the real love of your life is ridge . and no amount of soul searching is gon na change that . [ scene_break ] ridge : look , i 've said as many prayers for that child as anyone today . phoebe : yeah , but -- but you 're still angry with nick . and grandpa 's got the company back . ridge : sweetheart , my issues with nick do n't have to affect your relationship with him , okay ? ( cell phone rings ) ridge : that might be your mother . hello ? nurse : is this ridge forrester ? ridge : yes . nurse : sir , this is university hospital . i have your name on the emergency contact sheet for a ms . brooke logan . i wanted to inform you that ms. logan will not be released tonight . ridge : released ? what -- what happened ? nurse : you were n't aware that ms. logan had been admitted ? ridge : no , i was n't . nurse : i assumed since she listed you as an emergency contact ... i may have made a mistake . i am so sorry to have bothered you . ridge : wait . hello ? hello ? phoebe : what is it ? ridge : ohh . phoebe : wh -- da -- ridge : brooke 's in the hospital . i 've got ta get over there . phoebe : wh -- ridge : see you a little later .

( sighs heavily ) i went away , because i was hoping that it would give you time to think all of this through and -- and time to understand it was never my intention to hurt brooke in that way . eric : taking her children away from her was n't hurtful ? stephanie : you 're always so determined to see the worst in me . that 's the problem with this marriage . eric : so it 's my fault ? stephanie : well , partly . i mean , is n't it 50 - 50 ? have n't we both made mistakes , eric ? and have n't most of the mistakes that we 've made in our lives involved brooke ? eric : oh , here it comes now . here it is again . stephanie : oh , please , do n't stand there and roll your eyes and just act as though you know exactly what i 'm going through . eric : i - i do know what you 're gon na say ! i 've heard it a thousand times before , and i 'm tired of it . stephanie : well , do you think i 'm not ? do you think i fe -- i like feeling this way ? you 're absolutely right when you say that i 've changed . of course i 've changed over the years . but it had n't anything to do with losing the children . it had everything to do with losing you . you 've never really wanted to face what happened . you never wanted to look and understand why the wall came down between us . my heart stopped beating for you the day i saw you in brooke 's arms . stephanie : i 'm asking you please , please , please , please , do n't let what happened to brooke come between us . eric : brooke is the victim here , not you . stephanie : of course she 's the victim , but i did n't victimize her . the son of a bitch that raped her did ! eric : you sent him ! and until you take full responsibility for that , there 's nothing more for you and me to say . stephanie : you want me to apologize to brooke , i will . i in -- of course i will . i 'm asking you , please , please , open your heart and try to understand and to forgive me . eric : it 's not that simple . a lot 's happened since you 've been away . you need to hear about it from me . [ scene_break ] ridge : oh , i 'm sorry . i was told brooke logan was in here . nurse : oh , she was . she may have been transferred to a room . i can check for you , though that really would surprise me . it 's standard procedure to spend a few hours in recovery following a transplant . ridge : what do you mean a transplant ? nurse : oh , she donated her bone marrow to the marone baby . ridge : to nick and taylor 's child ?

[ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) a party to celebrate stephanie 's life .

[ stephanie remembering ] brooke : thorne , what is going on here ? stephanie : you 're a threat to everything that i love and cherish . all my life , i 've tried to protect family from things that are corrupt and evil in this world . i had to teach my children about morality and ethics and self - respect . and this , my baby -- my baby , he was the one that understood better than anyone what honor was , what the foundation of this family was built on . if you let her -- if you let her drag those values out of you , if you let her drag you in that bed , it 's all erased , and then you become what she is , self - serving and soulless . jesus , is that what you want ? brooke : do n't , stephanie . do n't . you ca n't tell him what he wants . he knows what he wants . he wants me , as much as i want him ! stephanie : well , he 's not going to have ... he ... thorne : thank god you did n't . ( chuckles ) stephanie : ( chuckles ) well , i lived to fight another day . boy , it just ... ( sighs ) shows you ... how wrong you can be about a person . [ scene_break ] rick : dad 's with mom . something 's going on . caroline : something to do with thomas ? rick : look ... i know how important honesty is to you . and that 's what i want for us -- total honesty . and i have n't been . caroline : you have n't been what ? rick : ( sighs ) i did something . i created a lie that i 'm not proud , a lie that changed everything for your cousin liam and my sister . [ scene_break ] brooke : is there anything i can do for you or for stephanie ? eric : no , brooke . oh . not now . maybe later . i mean , maybe when i start to pull the party together . i 'll call you . thomas : granddad , just the man i wanted to see . brooke , do you mind ? i have some ideas i want to run by the old guy . eric : what do you have in mind ? thomas : it 's a new vision for forrester , something i 've been mulling around for a while . but now that i 'm ceo -- brooke : interim ceo . thomas : i would like to make sure these changes are implemented . the sooner the better . okay , check it out . i 'm thinking we can go in a sexier , younger , edgier , more urban directional something that really reflects what 's going on in today 's society . plus , a more affordable price point . see what i mean ? eric : what -- i -- thomas : this is exactly where you 'd be headed with forrester if you were my age . ( cell phone rings ) brooke : oh , thomas . ( rings ) brooke : do n't you think you should slow down a bit ? thomas : talk to me . i 'm on my way . eric : uh ... ( chuckles ) well , what do you make of that ? brooke : ( sighs ) a man on the move ? his love life has been on the skids lately , so maybe he 's overcompensating , throwing himself into his work . eric : well , i recall a time or two when , um , the same thing happened to me . but then stephanie would come and grab me by the collar and drag me home , and that was that . brooke : ( laughs ) eric : ( chuckles ) oh , my goodness .

( sighs ) as her big brother , i could n't just stand by and watch her get hurt again . caroline : by liam ? rick : the night before the wedding , liam and steffy were just partying at some club . hope ended it because she thought that they were making out . caroline : making out ? liam , steffy did n't -- okay , maybe they had a little bit too much fun , but they -- they definitely did n't do anything -- rick : you 're right . they were n't making out . but that 's what i told hope . caroline : you told her that ? rick : i did n't want my kid sister marrying liam . h 's already messed with her so many times . so ... ( sighs ) i took more drastic measures . caroline : that 's what ended it all , your lie . rick : and now that i 've come clean with this , is this gon na ruin it for us ? caroline : i guess i ca n't say that i 'm surprised . an , i 've been told that you 're a very manipulative man . rick : ( sighs ) caroline : but i get why you did it . rick : i wanted to protect her . caroline : i understand . rick : ( sighs ) thank you . caroline : that does not mean that i condone it , though , because lies always come back to haunt you . rick : are you gon na tell liam or hope ? caroline : i 'm gon na leave that up to your conscious . but i have a feeling that you 're gon na make it right , because that 's the kind of man that i think you are .

( chuckles ) stephanie : ( chuckles ) well , when does anyone in any family ever agree on everything at the same time ? thorne : ( chuckles ) yeah . i guess we 're not so different than all the other families out there , huh ? all of the mothers and sons . stephanie : ( sighs ) i look at you now , and i see what a wonderful man you 've turned into . and i 'm so proud of you . you 'll be fine , you know ? thorne : ( chuckles ) got that on good authority , huh ? stephanie : ( chuckles ) absolutely . thorne : ( chuckles ) stephanie : ( sighs , chuckles ) what possibly could go wrong ? brooke 's married every man in the family . thorne : ( chuckles ) stephanie : the worst is behind us . thorne : i still do n't know how i 'm going to carry on without you , mom . i 've always relied on ...

[ scene_break ] hope : you two , you -- you 've actually discussed ... marriage . bill : well , sure , we have . brooke : we 're ... taking things one day at a time . hope : that 's ... good . um ... there are , you know , some people who are still getting used to you two even living together , so ... bill : yeah , we realize it 's a big adjustment , but , in time , everyone will make it . anyway , uh , i have a big meeting . i have to get going . brooke : oh . uh , give will a kiss for me . bill : well , plant one here , and i 'll transfer it to him . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill : see you later . see you later , hope . hope : mm - hmm .

[ scene_break ] wyatt : i just need you to understand something here . hope and i are in a partnership . forrester creations and quinn artisan jewelers are a smash hit right out of the gate , and that 's only for starters . i am going to do everything that i can to help hope not only realize but surpass her every dream . liam : okay , but you 're not gon na stand there and pretend like this is all about business for you , are you ? wyatt : i have been up front since the beginning ! i 'm crazy about hope . and even so , i was willing to back off when she said she wanted to marry you , until ... you hurt her with that video . liam : uh , the video . yeah , about that -- still wondering how that made its way to hope . wyatt : was n't me . believe it , do n't believe it -- i do n't care . the end result is still the same . you were thoughtless with hope 's feelings , and you lost her . liam : ai n't over till it 's over . wyatt : [ chuckles ] unbelievable . you think you can just treat hope any kind of way and get her back whenever you want . and then you have the audacity to say that i 'm arrogant . liam : listen . hope and i have been making our way around obstacles since long before any of us even knew you existed , and we 're gon na clear this one just fine . so you should probably move along , because hope belongs to me . [ scene_break ] katie : nope . you do n't want that one ? oh ! bill : hey , hey , hey ! katie : look who 's here ! bill : there 's my boy ! look at him ! katie : yeah ! bill : hi ! what -- what -- what are you feeding this boy ? ! katie : [ chuckles ] i know . he 's gotten so big . you 're missing out on so much . sorry . i did n't mean that to be a dig . bill : i did n't take it that way . it 's true , you know ? kids do n't stop developing just because daddy 's not living in the house , right ? right ? katie : i know . he 's gon na be walking soon . get ready . bill : then the trouble really starts . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : you know what ? we 're gon na be ready to hike saddle peak pretty soon . katie : well , how about maybe something a little less ambitious , like toddling around the duck pond ? bill : toddling ? to -- you hear that ? toddling ? yeah , tell mommy spencer men -- we do n't toddle . we -- we strut . we stride with confidence and -- and purpose ! katie : [ laughs ] bill : come here . come here . katie : yeah , go . go see daddy . will : [ coos ] katie : yeah !

[ stammers , sighs ] it might be really easy for you to forget all the terrible things he did , but you have to remember that i was his favorite target . brooke : honey , he wants to make it up to you . hope : well , okay . he can try ... preferably from a distance . brooke : i get that you 're disappointed . hope : i 'm disappointed because ... essentially , what has happened is you chose bill over katie . logan women stick together ! logan women support each other ! how many times have you told me that ? i know that you and bill are riding out this wave , and it might seem really exciting right now . but what if it does n't last ? you know , what if it 's on and gone and bill decides to leave ? w - will it have been worth losing your sister ? men come and go , mom . you know that . but family -- family is forever . i just want you to think about everything that you and katie have been through , how much you depend on each other , how devastated you were when she almost died . you know , uncle storm -- he gave the ultimate sacrifice so katie could live , so she could have a wonderful life . and is this really how it 's turn out for her -- losing her husband to the sister that she 's always , always trusted ? i just am asking you to please think about what this means . think about what you could lose . think about who you could hurt .

[ sighs ] that 's , uh -- [ chuckles ] that 's really none of my business . wyatt : that 's a cop - out . i mean , you must have an opinion . liam : uh , listen , wyatt . one thing i 've learned -- despite everyone 's best intentions , sometimes , a relationship gets broken , and there 's no way to fix it . you do your best . you salvage what you can , and you move on . you -- w - what are you looking at me like that for ? [ clears throat ] wyatt : look . i would agree with you if there was n't a kid involved . but there is . when you have a kid , you stop making selfish decisions . you put that kid first . and if that means that you do n't get to be happy , well , that 's too damn bad . liam : what ? oh , what -- so , dad has to spend the next 18 years of his life in a marriage that is n't working ? that hurts will , too , wyatt . wyatt : dad did n't even try to work it out with katie ! he just got fed up , and he took off , and he moved in with brooke ! and -- and that 's another thing that 's wrong about this whole situation . will loses his aunt , too ! and that 's not fair . and hope gets that -- where the priorities should be . it 's one thing i love about her . liam : okay , yeah . well , you know what ? you w - w -- what ? w - wait , back -- w -- back up a second . did you say `` love `` ? wyatt : yeah . yeah . liam : one thing you love about her . wyatt : i love her . liam : you love about her . wyatt : yes , i love hope . liam : you love about her . wyatt : liam , you threw her away for steffy again ! i 'm not gon na apologize or feel guilty for wanting to show her what it 's like to have a man who only wants her . liam : so you 're not backing off . wyatt : um , let me see . do i have notes on this ? no . liam : [ sighs ] all right . fine . you 're wasting your time . wyatt : i guess we 'll see , then . [ scene_break ] bill : [ inhales sharply ] will : [ giggles ] [ both laugh ] katie : thank you . bill : for what ? katie : for apologizing . it means a lot . you know , i -- after everything that 's happened , i do n't want to lose sight of the things that are still good between us . bill : he 's right there . katie : yeah . will : [ fusses ] bill : any regrets about having a child with me ? katie : [ laughs ] no , of course not . i mean , this is n't exactly the life i imagined for him , but i could never regret it . you ? bill : no . you 're the perfect mother for my little boy . will : [ babbling ] katie : [ sighs , sniffles ] your very active little boy . [ both chuckle ] katie : yes , you are ! bill : well , he 's a spencer , is n't he ? he 's a spencer . [ scene_break ] hope : all right , mom . i let you deflect me for a minute , but i need you to hear what i 'm saying . brooke : hope ... hope : just ... another thing , one more thing . brooke : [ sighs ] all right . what is it ? hope : you are living here with bill , the man that you lost yourself over . you 're able to indulge in your passions with him . brooke : yes ... ? hope : and it 's because you followed your heart into another ... emotional disaster ! i think maybe it is time that you shake things up ... and you listen to your conscience . your conscience , mom . what is it telling you ? | over breakfast on the coffee table , bill says he is confused on why hope gave liam 's ring back . now he does n't know which son to root for . hope says at least he should be glad that they are not fighting over steffy . brooke tells hope there is no need for hostility . bill says it is okay . sometimes he thinks he probably does deserve a little hostility from hope . they started off on the wrong foot and it was his doing . but now they are going to be family .. hope asks does this imply that he is going to marry her mother . she wants to know if they have discussed marriage . bill says of course . brooke tries to downplay it by saying they are only taking one day at a time . hope says that 's good as some people are still having a hard time just knowing they are living together . bill says he knows , but in time they will come around . he excuses himself to go to katie 's office . hope ca n't wait to say to her mother that this is just wrong and on some level she must know that . brooke says no she does n't . hope says she knows that she and bill are gon na do whatever they want to . but she has to be true to herself as well . and as long as bill is going to be living here , then she does n't think that she can . katie changes a few things on her schedule and tells her assistant that bill is coming by to spend a little time with will . wyatt tells eric on the phone that security is tight so the diamond will be safe . it 's good to hear that the lines are still strong on the second day at the boutique . liam comes in and wyatt guesses that he 's there to tell him to watch out for the fall . he says he hates to disappoint liam , but failure is not an option . liam says he knows . he 's been a wrecking ball to him every since he showed up . wyatt says he is just looking out for hope . liam retorts that it 's worked out well for him so far . he 's hustled his way into her personal and business life . wyatt reminds him that he is an asset to this business . when they revealed that diamond at the boutique there were hundreds of people lined up , not just to gawk but he heard record sales . liam mocks that it was all because of wyatt . wyatt says no ; it 's because he and hope make a damn good team . he knows it and so does hope so do not go banking on him failing hope or disappointing her . that 's liam 's m.o. , not his . he says he wants to make one thing clear . forrester creations and quinn designs is a smash hit right from the start and that is only the beginning . he is going to do everything he can to help hope realize and even surpass her every dream . liam says he can not stand there and pretend this is all business . wyatt says no , he 's been upfront from the beginning . he is crazy about hope but he was willing to back off from hope until liam hurt her with that video . liam says ah the video . he is still wondering how it made its way to hope . wyatt says believe it or do n't believe it , he does n't care , but it was n't him that sent it . liam was thoughtless with hope 's feelings and he lost her . liam says it 's not over until it is over . wyatt says liam can treat hope anyway he wants and thinks she will take him back and now liam has the audacity to say wyatt is arrogant . liam laughs and says he and hope have been going around obstacles long before they even knew that wyatt existed , so maybe he should just move along as hope belongs to him ! |
katie : ridge ? what are you doing ? carter : sorry . maya : for what ? carter : for not being rick . i know that 's who you were hoping to see . maya : do you know where he is ? carter : he 's at home ... with his wife . rick : [ gasps ] you 're home ! [ chuckles ] caroline : and you 're observant . rick : what you got there ? oh . one of the better days of my life . caroline : me , too . rick : you 're early . caroline : we 're finished . rick : completely ? caroline : yeah . rick : i thought you and ridge would be at it all night . katie : lost you there for a second . ridge : i got a lot on my mind . i 'm sorry . katie : yeah , i can imagine . did you wrap things up with caroline ? ridge : yeah . katie : so , the two of you finished your final design ? ridge : mm - hmm . katie : i see . ridge : see what ? katie : why you 're in this mood . caroline was upset , was n't she , when you ended your collaboration ? maya : they are not a supercouple , carter . carter : they 've been married for , what , less than a year ? maya : all the more reason that it 's not too late for them to reassess . carter : they do n't need to reassess . what they need is some privacy . maya : [ scoffs ] tell that to caroline ! she 's been giving all her private time away to ridge these days . carter : maya , we 're behind schedule . we need those designs . that 's why they 're working so much . maya : [ scoffs ] what i saw would not be construed as work . carter : you 're asking for trouble , maya . maya : what have i done ? nothing . are you sure ? maya : i walk in on an intimate moment between caroline and ridge . carter : you were eavesdropping ! maya : no , i was n't ! carter : maya . maya : what difference does it make ? so i was snooping a little bit . the point is they were practically making out ! carter : i 'm sure that 's an overstatement . maya : ridge is not the saint that you believe he is . carter : he 's no saint , but he 's not stupid , maya . you keep this up , you 're gon na ruin your career . maya : for telling the truth ? carter : wait . telling the truth ? maya , who exactly have you told ? maya : well , ivy knows . carter : anyone else ? maya ? maya : rick . carter : you -- rick ? ! how -- how did he find out ? maya : you do n't think he has the right to know ? carter : maya , you are -- you are deliberately out to cause trouble ! maya : that 's not fair ! carter : it 's the truth . you 're trying to break up their marriage so you can have rick . maya , you 're nothing but a gold digger . katie : so , how 's caroline taking it ? ridge : well , she feels as i do -- it had to end . katie : must have been difficult . ridge : yeah . we created some beautiful designs together . katie : well , sure , but , i mean , difficult in other ways . you said yourself she has a crush on you . you were even thinking of using that crush to get the ceo position . ridge : well , that -- that was -- that was a passing thought . i would n't have done that to her . katie : good . good . i 'm glad to hear that , because i was concerned when you first told me . ridge : hey . i love you . do n't ever doubt that . katie : i do n't . i just did n't like the thought of you manipulating someone . i mean , that 's not you . that 's not the kind of man you are . you 're honest and you 're loyal , and that 's why i love you . rick : so ... i have you to myself tonight ? thank you , ridge ! [ both chuckle ] rick : let me guess -- he wanted you to stay , but you insisted on coming home . caroline : no , no . he -- he knew that we both had to stop . rick : well , maybe there 's hope for him yet . caroline : [ sighs ] i really wish you two would get along . rick : well , until dad settles this whole ceo position , uh ... caroline : i know . i just -- it 's silly because we 're all family . you two squabbling over a title -- rick : a very important title . but you 're right . you 're right . i have been a little intense lately about the time that you spent with ridge . caroline : i have been spending too much time with him . rick : you had to , caroline . you guys were working on the couture collection . caroline : i - i am so sorry . rick : for what ? caroline : for -- rick : for saving the entire line ? ! caroline : for being distracted , putting my attention elsewhere . rick : i get that now . you and ridge -- you two are artists . you were creating . caroline : it was . it was amazing . it affected me in ways i never could have imagined . but ... it also took my time away from you . rick : i blame myself for that . caroline : why ? rick : i should have been more supportive . ridge lost it all . he lost his ability to draw , his confidence . and then there you were . you came to the rescue . i mean , what would the guy have done if you had n't helped him ? but i still could n't get past my own ego . caroline : rick ... there 's something i need to tell you . rick : what ? caroline : it 's about ridge and me . maya : will you stop with this ? i am not a gold digger ! do i want a better life ? who would n't ? ! but it 's not rick 's money that i 'm after . i happen to love him . carter : you loved me , too . it 's just that my pockets were n't deep enough . all i 'm saying -- it 's good to know who you are , what you are . maya : you can really be mean - spirited . carter : [ sighs ] i care about you , maya , okay ? you 're beautiful . you 're charming . you -- you have so much to offer this world . maya : but i 'm a greedy gold digger ? carter : your perspective 's a little skewed . maya : oh , that 's so much more flattering . carter : you 're king a play for a married man . maya : whose wife is not -- carter : is loyal ! caroline is loyal ! maya : carrying on behind rick 's back ? that 's a strange definition of `` loyalty . `` carter : were they making love ? were they even kissing ? no . you saw a friendly embrace . maya : it was more than friendly . carter : so back off . let them work it out . if there 's a problem , then they 'll break up . then go after the guy . maya : i do n't want to wait . carter : why ? maya : because this is my opportunity , carter . carter : for a lifetime of leisure . admit it , maya -- you 're in love with rick 's money . rick : caroline , what is it ? caroline : ridge and i had been working so well together -- rick : and i 've been seeing it firsthand , although i do have my notes . the designs that have been coming my way are -- they 're incredible . they really are . caroline : he 's -- he 's taught me so much -- i mean , a whole new way of looking at everything , and i 've never worked that closely with such talent before . it 's just a very unique experience . rick : i support you as a growing artist . the work that you guys have been doing -- it 's amazing , although i know that most of it is you because he ca n't exactly design . caroline : ridge 's -- ridge 's talent is coming back . rick : are you sure about that ? well , it seems you 've had a much bigger impact on him than i thought . caroline : more than i realized . and he 's had one on me . rick : i 'm just gon na put this out there . if it 's working for you and if it 's making you a better designer , i am all for that now . caroline : it is . but it 's -- it 's time for me to refocus . rick : refocus ? caroline : on -- on you , our marriage . the collection is finished , and ... ridge and i have agreed to end our collaboration . rick : you have ? caroline : it was wonderful while it lasted , but it 's taking my time away from you . rick : are you sure that you 're okay with this ? caroline : it 's necessary , rick . i do n't want to go any further with ridge . rick : you 're doing this for me , for our life together . katie : so , how did you leave things with caroline ? ridge : hmm ? what do you -- what do you mean ? katie : well , did you talk ? did you discuss her feelings for you ? ridge : yeah , we talked . sure . katie : how serious was it ? ridge : come on . it 's -- it 's over now . it 's in the past . katie : oh , i 'm not so sure . i mean , i had a crush on you for years , and i certainly could n't forget about it . ridge : well , thank you . thanks for not getting me out of your system . thank you . katie : [ chuckles ] hopefully , it 's easier for caroline . ridge : yeah . i mean , she 's got a husband that loves her , and -- what did i just say ? it 's over . it 's done -- finished . katie : were you gentle ? ridge : i would never want to hurt her . she helped me rediscover what makes me who i am . and i will always be grateful for that , so ... katie : well , i 'm grateful , too . and i 'm sure caroline 's grateful for the time that she had with you . i 'm sure she 'll never forget it . it was the perfect collaboration . you both got a lot of out of it . ridge : yeah , we did . katie : and it was the right time to end it ... before she developed real feelings for you . ridge : my beautiful fiancée . katie : i have to admit ... i was a - a little bit jealous -- just a little bit -- for a minute . ridge : really ? katie : yeah . ridge : i would never want to hurt you , katie . katie : i know . and i guess i 'm lucky , too , 'cause i have you in my life . ridge : i 'm the lucky one . it 's funny , is n't it -- how things happen ? some silly accident , falling out of a helicopter ... recovering . you were there the whole time for me . and caroline helped me , and i 'm -- i 'm not the man i was . but i love you . that 's never gon na change . it wo n't . maya : why do you insist on thinking the worst of me ? carter : because that 's what you show me , maya . are you evil ? no . misguided ? most definitely . maya : you do n't think i 'm capable of loving this man ? carter : of course you are , when you 're not obsessed with his bank account . maya : rick 's bank account is not what i 'm obsessed with ! carter : okay -- his name , his reputation . maya : and what 's wrong with wanting a man with a name ? carter : i would hope that you want a man because you love him . maya : i do love rick . and there was a time when he loved me , too . carter : and now he 's with caroline . i know it 's hard to accept , but -- maya : he 's with the wrong person . i can make him happier than caroline ever will . carter : rick does n't want you . keep pestering him , maya , and you 'll end up back on the street . you remember what it 's like back there ? maya : of course i do , only too well ! why do you think i want rick -- his life , this life ? and i will have it , carter . this is my chance . i 'm just waiting for caroline to self - destruct , if she has n't already . carter : with ridge ? maya ! do you honestly believe that caroline would give up a husband she adores for a man who 's engaged ? i mean , come on ! you got to stop this ! maya , this gossip you 're stirring up -- it 's not only dangerous , it 's ridiculous ! ridge and caroline ? [ scoffs ] there 's not a chance . katie : i love you . ridge : i love you . katie : mm . [ will crying ] katie : [ groans ] ridge : [ groans ] katie : [ laughs ] i 'll go check on the boy . [ will babbling ] [ water running in distance ] [ cell phone rings ] ridge : hi . caroline : hi . ridge : you okay ? caroline : yeah . i , um ... i just wanted to call . ridge : where are you ? caroline : home . uh , rick 's in the shower . uh , you ? ridge : i 'm home . katie stepped out . caroline : look ... we got caught up in something . ridge : caroline -- caroline : no , it 'll never happen again , ridge . ridge : i know . i know . caroline : rick can never find out . ridge : it 's all behind us now . caroline : right . it 's behind us . ridge : it 's all forgotten . caroline : is it ? ridge : has to be . goodbye , caroline . caroline : [ voice breaking ] bye , ridge . [ running continues ] [ running stops ] | caroline slips home in a somber mood , picks up a picture of her and rick but thinks back on the kiss with ridge . ridge also is thinking of the encounter when katie comes in and catches him staring into space . she asks if they are through and that is why he is in this mood . caroline must be very disappointed now . he says they created some beautiful designs together but she knew it had to end . katie reminds him that he told her that caroline had a crush on him and he was even thinking of using that to get the ceo position . he said that was only in passing and he would not have done that to her . she says good as she was concerned when he first told her . ridge says he loves her , do not ever doubt that . she says she wo n't . he 's honest and loyal and that is why she loves him . maya slithers into rick 's office to find carter there . he tells her he is sorry that rick is not there as he knows that is who she came to see . and that he is probably home by now with his lovely wife as it should be . maya declares that caroline and rick are not a super couple . carter points out they have been married almost a year and they would be fine if everyone would give them their privacy . maya mouths that caroline is giving all her private time to ridge nowadays . and what she saw would not be construed as work . carter scolds her for eavesdropping and she denies it at first ad then admits okay she was snooping , but they were practically making out in the office . she says ridge is not the saint that carter thinks he is . carter says maybe not but he 's not stupid either . if maya does n't behave herself her career is in jeopardy . he 's livid when he finds out that not only does ivy know but she told rick her suspicions as well . she is out to cause trouble and that is the truth . he tells her she is nothing but a gold digger . she 's hurt and says he is mean - spirited . he says he likes her .she 's beautiful and charming and has a lot to offer this world but her perspective is a little skewed . and now she is making a play for a married man . just admit it , she is after rick 's money and a life of leisure . she barks that she still loves rick and she could make him happier than caroline ever could . so she will just wait until caroline self destructs and she will have rick again . carter scoffs at her for thinking caroline and ridge , not a chance , it 's ridiculous and dangerous . |
bill : well , how about this ? you two stooges -- needle and thread . you come in here and threaten me in my own home . ridge : no one 's threatening you , bill . bill : eh , i do n't know about that . you barge in , you get in my face . you tell me stay away from brooke , or you 're gon na put a stop to me ? kind of sounds like a threat . thorne : no , we simply want you to understand that any thoughts you 're having about going after brooke , you can forget it . bill : because the fabulous forrester fashion boys say so ? ridge : that 's right . no more secret meetings , no more kissing . you and brooke , you 're not gon na be alone again -- ever . brooke : you made the right decision . katie : [ sighs ] you know , nothing really changes . i still have full custody . brooke : but you 're letting bill see his son whenever he wants . katie : well , the only thing i ever wanted was for bill to see his son . i know you 're happy about this . brooke : yeah . i 'm thrilled . katie : then what 's wrong ? brooke : i 'm just in the middle , or at least it feels like that . caught between ridge and bill . dr. phillips : not too late for one of those gender - reveal parties . liam : [ laughs ] oh , my god . imagine your mom . she would go berserk planning one of those . hope : she would go completely overboard . liam : yeah . hope : she would love it . i mean , it would be blue or pink balloons flying everywhere . but , i mean , in the end , boy or girl , we will be thrilled either way . liam : this is true . dr. phillips : okay , then let 's find out , shall we ? liam : oh , boy . hope : oh , girl ! [ laughs ] liam : speaking of boys . no , but if it 's a boy , i ca n't wait till he 's old enough to teach me how to play catch . dr. phillips : fingers crossed the baby is cooperating . we 'll need him or her in the right position . hope : and that we hear a heartbeat . liam : that 's all that matters . dr. phillips : you 've been fine , right ? no more cramping ? hope : correct . dr. phillips : then trying not to worry . you 're about to see a healthy growing baby boy or girl . liam : the question is -- which one ? [ laughs ] katie : caught between ridge and bill ? um , what do you mean ? brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't know . forget i said anything . katie : no , no , no . [ scoffs ] no , um , if something 's going on , you should tell me . brooke : well , nothing 's going on . it 's just ... bill kissed me . katie : oh . okay . does ridge know ? brooke : yes , he knows about both of the kisses . katie : both of them . hmm . so bill kissed you more than once . bill : okay , well , listen . this has been fun , but now you 're boring me to tears , so ... time to leave . come on . thorne : as soon as we hear you say it . bill : say what ? thorne : that you understand brooke is off - limits . bill : [ sighs ] what i understand is that if you two bozos do n't get out of here , something 's gon na happen . ridge : what 's gon na happen ? we 're just having a nice conversation . bill : i 'm trying to be a nice guy , all right ? now back off , or something will go down , and it 's gon na be something that we 're all gon na regret . ridge : see , that sounds like a threat to me . thorne : yeah . bill : you show up at my home uninvited , ordering me around . now , you know me , and you know i 'm gon na defend myself . ridge : and you do n't think i 'm gon na defend my wife ? you think i 'm gon na let you make her your new obsession so your crazy brain can tell you that she 's yours ? the way you did with steffy ? thorne : just put a stop to it . dr. phillips : say hi again to your beautiful child . growing , thriving . healthy heart , healthy size . i 'm liking what i 'm seeing . hope : look at that hand . liam : i know . hope : [ giggles ] is this real ? dr. phillips : it sure is , and it wo n't be long . soon you 'll be holding that sweet little hand in yours . hope : [ gasps ] look , liam . look ! liam : i see . i see . dr. phillips : well , it 's time to decide if you really want to know . liam : we do , right ? we want to know . hope : i think so . liam : yeah . hope : i mean , that way , we can decorate the nursery ... liam : exactly . hope : ... and focus on names . liam : yeah . hope : yes , dr . phillips , we would love to know . dr. phillips : well , if you 're going with a family name , i do n't think she 'll be too happy with liam jr . , i 'll tell you that . liam : you said she ! you said she ! does that -- dr. phillips : yes ! liam : is that what -- dr. phillips : yes ! you 're having a daughter . liam : [ laughs ] hope : oh , my gosh ! [ giggles ] liam : whoa ! hope : [ sighs ] brooke : katie , please understand , it was all on bill 's initiative . i called him out on it . i told him that it was unacceptable and that he had to respect my marriage . katie : ridge ca n't be taking this well . brooke : no . he did n't take it very well . but i told him it was a mistake -- bill 's mistake , i did n't kiss him back -- and that i told bill it could never happen again . katie : did that make ridge feel better ? brooke : no . it didn't . he seemed to be more upset , and that really worries me . his anger always gets the best of him . and then when they 're both angry , they seem to lose all common sense . i think it 's best that they both stay away from each other until all of this just blows over . bill : you do n't tell me what to do or who to see or who i spend my time with . ridge : after what you did to my daughter , that is exactly what i 'm gon na do . you stay away from my wife . bill : [ sniffs ] what is that smell ? oh , yeah , that 's the scent of fear . ridge : really ? bill : is your marriage really that fragile that you have to prevent brooke from seeing me ? are you afraid she 's going to leave you ? i mean , who could blame her , right ? she would be trading up . ridge : once again , you 're making a play for a woman who wants to have nothing to do with you . bill : [ chuckles ] you do n't really believe that or you would n't be here . you would just ignore me . i have n't really even done anything yet , and you 're already shaking in your boots . i will talk to brooke when i want to talk to her , and i will see her when i want to see her , and there is nothing you can do about it and nothing you can say to stop me or scare me off . thorne : except take your son away . that get your attention ? you keep this up , this , uh , disgusting behavior , and you may never see will again . dr. phillips : here you are , a picture of your adorable little girl . hope : thank you . liam : oh , my god . hope : and you 're sure she 's okay , everything looks normal ? dr. phillips : normal in every way . this little girl is coming along just fine . liam : [ sighs ] dr. phillips : i know that the two of you are still a bit freaked out about what happened before . understandably . cramping is scary , but not uncommon . hope : i mean , could it happen again ? dr. phillips : well , it 's impossible to say . but if it does , do n't panic . just drink some water or juice , get off your feet , and rest . sometimes it 's just a matter of changing positions . but if the pain does n't go away or if there 's any bleeding , please do n't hesitate to come see me . okay ? liam : yeah . hope : of course . of course . thank you , doctor . liam : yeah , thank you so much . dr. phillips : okay , well , any other questions ? if not , i 've got a patient in labor i need to check on . liam : whoa ! hope : oh ! liam : get out of here ! hope : yeah , no , we 're good , by all means ! dr. phillips : it wo n't be long . soon it 'll be you . your baby girl will be more than just a picture . soon you 'll be holding her in your arms . liam : thank you , doctor . hope : thank you ! i ca n't wait . she 's beautiful . katie : can i give you some advice ? i do n't think ridge is the only one who should steer clear of bill . brooke : i know . ridge forgave me for the kisses , but he wo n't again . he was very adamant . he does n't want bill touching me or anywhere near me . katie : well , i do n't think he 's being unreasonable . brooke : no , of course he isn't . but it 's kind of unrealistic . bill is hope 's father - in - law , and we 're bound to cross paths at some point . in fact , we already bumped into each other earlier at il giardino . well , that was n't really a coincidence . bill knew that i was gon na be there . katie : oh , my god ! brooke : it was n't like that , katie . he was just thankful that he got to spend time with will again . he was beaming . you should have seen him . and he 's very thankful that i 've been standing by his side . katie : okay , well , um , does ridge know ? because you should probably tell him . you do n't want secrets . brooke : yes , i already told him . katie : how did he react ? brooke : well , he definitely was n't happy about it , and now he 's convinced that bill is coming after me . katie : well , yeah , it sounds like he is . brooke : well , even if he is , it does n't matter . i do n't love bill . i love ridge , and he knows that . just , his anger gets the best of him . he ca n't see through it . katie : must be genetic . thorne loses his mind over bill , too . brooke : really ? well , that concerns me because if this gets out of hand , who knows what can happen ? bill : you had to do it , did n't you ? we were having a nice friendly conversation , and you had to cross the line . thorne : i did ? no , bill , that was you long ago . bill : will is my boy , not yours . you do n't decide when i see him . that 's between katie and me , and my advice to you is to not interfere . thorne : i 'm katie 's husband . will is part of my family now , okay ? so if i feel like i need to protect him , i will . bill : protect him from me if i talk to brooke ? that does n't even make any freakin ' sense . thorne : really ? the boy suffered the first time you neglected him , and now you 're about to do it again , this time with brooke . do you understand that ? so , yes , i will protect him from this kind of disappointment . ridge : how do you think a judge would feel ? we know how disgusted he was by what you did to steffy . how do you think he 'd feel that you 're chasing another married woman who does n't want your advances ? it 's inappropriate behavior , billy . thorne : so instead of you taking brooke from ridge , we 'll be ones taking something from you . ridge : permanently . bill : try it . i want you to . i really do . you try and take my son from me , and i 'll destroy you . liam : our daughter . hope : our daughter . liam : you happy we found out ? hope : yep . i am . you happy it 's a girl ? liam : yeah , i am . i mean , i would have been just as excited if it were a boy , but ... you know . hope : [ exhales sharply ] you , sir , are gon na have your hands full with two girls ! liam : i know . yeah . exactly . exactly . but , then again , there 's enough masculinity in the spencer clan . hope : [ chuckles ] liam : i think some strong , independent women would do this family some good . hope : your daughter will be lucky to have you . liam : oh , man ! [ laughs ] hope : [ giggles ] brooke : let 's just hope that ridge does n't go over to bill 's . because we both know how much bill loves to provoke ridge . katie : you 're worried that it might get physical ? brooke : well , it could . things always tend to escalate between those two . katie : yeah , but they both know how you feel about violence . i mean , you ended your marriage to bill because of it . ridge and thorne are both kind , they 're level - headed . let 's just hope that if ridge does confront bill that thorne is there . they can keep each other in check . thorne : it does n't have to go down like this , bill . all you got to do is stay away from brooke . do the right thing . i know that 's gon na be difficult for you , to behave like a decent man , like a decent father , but you do that , and you wo n't lose access to will . bill : my access to my son is none of your business . ridge : he 's her husband . how do you not see that he has influence over her ? bill : katie 's a smart woman . she knows bullying when she sees it . ridge : you think me telling you not to harass my wife is bullying ? how does that make sense ? bill : friendship is n't harassment . ridge : brooke is n't your friend ! how do you -- wow . no . she has pity for your because of your kid ! any feelings she had for you is gone once she found out who you really were . pity is n't friendship . you do n't have friends , billy . the people that hang around you hang around because you pay them to . if you died today , god willing , no one would show up for your funeral . not brooke , not katie , not steffy . not liam , not wyatt . and definitely not that little boy . thorne : whoa ! break it up ! guys ! ridge : [ grunts ] bill : [ grunts ] thorne : all right , guys . break it up ! break it up ! break it up ! break it up . oh ! [ glass shatters ] [ grunting ] [ grunting continues ] bill : [ screams ] | bill scoffs at needle and thread , says they barged in here and got in his face and sounded like a threat to him that he had to stay away from brooke . okay , they have had their fun but he is getting bored so it is time for the bozo 's to get out of here . or something will go down . ridge says that too sounds like a threat to him . he wo n't let him do to brooke what he did to steffy . he will put a stop to that . katie asks brooke what is wrong . all she wanted from the beginning was for bill to make more time to see his son . that has happened and she still has full custody . brooke says she feels caught in the middle between bill and ridge . she explains that bill kissed her and ridge knows and is more than upset . she called bill out on it that it was unacceptable . and she told ridge it would never happen again but that did not make him feel better . he lost all common sense with his anger . the doctor tells liam and hope that the baby is cooperating today so soon they will know whether it is a boy or a girl . hope says they both want to know and now they can plan the color of the nursery . after a few minutes the doctor says it is a healthy little girl and she is coming along just fine . if there is any pain just let her know . hope jokes that liam is going to have his hands full with two daughters . |
hope : was she okay in the car ? liam : yeah , yeah , she 's -- she was good . she 's better now . um , she was -- i thought she 'd be hungry when we got home , but she just wanted her nap . hope : are you annoyed with me right now ? liam : annoyed ? no , no . no . uh , i - i was ... uh ... a little ... surprised . hope : liam , when i see a text message from steffy with heart emojis and x - o- x - o 's ... liam : i know , but , you know , i get a text message from pam at work , and it 's got heart emojis and x - o - x - o 's . like -- hope : you were n't married to pam . liam : okay , but then , given my history with steffy , should n't a text like that seem pretty ... normal ? listen , you -- you wanted me to give steffy this verbal smackdown in front of you , and i did n't wan na do it because she -- she lost a child that she loves , and she 's -- she 's trying to handle all of this with grace , so , like , why -- why would we deliberately hurt her more ? hope : okay , you 're right . you 're right . i took it too far . i mean , steffy is n't a threat , but thomas is , and there is another child to think about . we have to think about douglas , too . liam : yeah , well , douglas is clearly happier away from thomas . hope : so i say let 's make that a permanent state of affairs . [ scene_break ] zoe : i , uh , guess you want an answer . so , uh , okay , meaning thank you . i , uh , will accept your offer to crash in your friend 's room . thomas : what the hell ? ! zoe : what 's going on ? thomas : okay , look , brooke better not be standing next to a cliff the next time i see her . zoe : okay , come on . what 's going on now ? thomas : her personal attorney left a voicemail for her this morning that one of the interns transcribed . you know charlotte . so ... he wanted her to know that the documents she requested are ready . zoe : and that makes you angry because ... thomas : she 's trying to steal my child . they 're adoption papers . [ scene_break ] zoe : i mean , you ca n't just go to the courts and say that you want someone else 's child . thomas : no , no , i see it . i want it . it 's mine . that 's the logan m.o . [ sighs ] zoe : and do you think this is happening because you 're not living with douglas ? thomas : brooke wo n't even let me in the house . zoe : yeah , look , honestly , i think this whole adoption talk is just an empty threat to me . thomas : no . underestimating brooke -- that is a mistake i made too many times . zoe : yeah , but ridge -- he would n't let her do this , would he ? thomas : brooke does n't ask for permission . she waited until she had forced him out of the house so that she and hope could go through with the plan that they had planned on doing all along . you know , they probably told themselves it was an eye for an eye , 'cause hope -- hope lost her child for a few months , so it 's okay for me to lose mine . [ scene_break ] liam : what does douglas say ? hope : about his father ? i mean , not much , liam . you see him the same as i do . liam : uh , well , yeah , but it does n't really come up . hope : well , no , because he does n't ask anymore . he does n't ask about , you know , whether his father has called , where he is , when he 'll be back . he just dotes on beth and idolizes you . liam : calls you `` mommy . `` [ knock on door ] hope : oh . hi . brooke : hi . [ chuckles ] is douglas back from school yet ? hope : uh , soon . brooke : good , 'cause that 's why i 'm here . hope : what are those ? adoption request ? brooke : it 's time . hope : i actually think we might have reached the same conclusion . brooke : thomas is going to need to sign this first -- the termination of parental rights . [ scene_break ] thomas : have you been contacted ? zoe : have i been -- thomas : contacted ... by brooke , hope , liam ? about testifying against me if it came to that ? zoe : no , no , and if they did , i 'd refuse . and besides , how could i testify against you without incriminating myself ? thomas : okay . look , um ... here 's a spare key . make yourself at home . i 'll -- i 'll figure it out with vinny in the morning , okay ? zoe : wait . where -- where are you going ? thomas : i will be damned if i 'm gon na allow anyone to say i abandoned my child . [ scene_break ] hope : this is a lot . brooke : well , adoption is a lot . liam : i do n't recognize this name . brooke : it 's a lawyer i 've used before . i did n't wan na put carter in the line of fire . liam : and you -- you ... named us the adoptive parents . brooke : yes , i did . douglas lives here with you , and he 's very happy , and i -- i thought that 's what you wanted . liam : sure , but should n't douglas be part of the discussion as to whether this is a permanent situation or ... or -- hope : there 's no way thomas is going to sign this . brooke : he 's already signed the annulment papers , and if he refuses to sign these , how hard will it be to prove that he 's an unfit parent in a court of law ? hope : i 'm thinking not very hard . liam : okay . just ... forgive me if i 'm getting too personal here , but -- but -- is n't yours and ridge 's relationship strained enough without us taking his son to court ? hope : liam , you do see that douglas is thriving here with us , right ? liam : yeah , yes , of course . i do . i just ... i 'm not sure if he sees this as , like , his home or just a cool place to hang out and play . brooke : we need to make a wise decision for douglas . if adults let him down too much , he 's gon na have a problem with trust issues . it 's gon na damage his ability to trust anybody long into the future . and i do n't want that for douglas . he 's a sweet , special , beautiful little boy , and i have nightmares at night ...

[ scene_break ] hope : this is ... this is going to be a process . brooke : that 's why we need to get started right away . liam : i mean , thank you , obviously , but could we just -- could we take this one step at a time ? brooke : how much time do we have before somebody with legal standing , if not thomas , maybe ridge , or i do n't know , maybe douglas ' grandmothers decide they wan na take him away ? liam : ugh . thomas : you know , if i 'd have knocked , you would n't have let me in , so ... hope : yeah , well , that 's because you 're not welcome here . i should n't have to explain that . thomas : well , my son lives here . that 's all the permission i need . douglas ? hope : can you please keep your voice down ? the baby is sleeping . thomas : that 's probably a good idea for all of us . so where is my son ? brooke : you 're not taking douglas from this home . liam : look , you wan na see douglas , you call . you do n't barge in here like you own the place . thomas : i 've been very generous . i signed the annulment papers , and i 've let you guys spend a lot of time with douglas , okay ? but now he needs to be with his father , so where is he ? hope : he 's happy here , thomas . thomas : so was i for a couple of days . but that never should have happened anyway . so i 'll be taking my son . are you hiding him , or ...

[ both laugh ] liam : all right , touché . well , here 's to not knowing from experience . hope : this is unbelievable . wyatt : and check out the blogs . hope : oh , i know . i 've read them . wyatt : `` i went in to see the diamond , and i walked out with four outfits . `` hope : this diamond is selling the line . wyatt : no . you are selling the line . hope : no , no . wyatt : yes , you . you and caroline and rick , but especially you and your message . hope for the future -- the legend . hope : are n't you forgetting about somebody ? wyatt : who ? hope : you . you ! say what you want , but your jewelry completed this line , and your diamond , wyatt , that 's why people are coming in , that 's why these people are lined up around the block . yes , they might like the clothes , but the diamond -- that 's what 's key , and that 's all about you . wyatt : okay . well , i humbly accept your accolades . but do n't forget about my mom . she designed the jewelry . hope : yes , she did . wyatt : moms . ca n't live without them . right ? hope : mm . wyatt : what ? hope : oh . i 'm ... i 'm just wondering if i can still live with mine . bill : you know i 'm not the first person to get a divorce , right ? brooke : but to take up with your wife 's sister ... bill : it could have been a stranger in a grocery store , brooke . brooke : when was the last time you were in a grocery store ? bill : good point . are you starting to see maybe a little levity in all this ? no ? no levity ? brooke : i 'm trying . bill : but your daughter wo n't let you . brooke : she has a voice , needs to be heard . bill : [ sighs ] hope 's a dreamer . nothing wrong with that . i share in those dreams . and i wish every family in the world could stay together forever ... a husband and wife could raise and nurture their children . it just does n't always turn out that way , brooke . mistakes happen . brooke : mistakes can be corrected . bill : well , sometimes yes and sometimes no . brooke : did i seduce you ? bill : did you seduce me ? [ chuckles ] come on . did you forget who you 're talking to ? i 've been around the block more than most . you know you did n't seduce me . that 's ridiculous . brooke : i just ... it feels so ... ugly . i do love you . i do . it 's just ... it seems wrong . bill : well , it 's not wrong . i was n't the man katie wanted me to be , so she pushed us together . and it stuck . and i thank god that it did . because what we have is special , brooke . precious . we need to take care of it . we need to nurture it . we 're gon na go to aspen and climb that mountain . and when we do , we 're gon na see the world through new eyes -- the same eyes . because we 're one . you ca n't deny it , brooke . and you ca n't let your daughter control you . brooke : she 's not . but she does have a valid point . my brother did kill himself . he shot himself to give katie a life , his heart . now what kind of life am i giving her ? another lemonade ? liam : no , you better cut me off . [ chuckles ] probably . wyatt : there something going on with you and your mom ? hope : [ sighs ] i 'm coping . wyatt : this is about your mom and my dad . you mentioned that before . hope : yeah . i -- i 'll deal with it . wyatt : look , i just want you to know , i feel the same way . hope : you do , do n't you ? wyatt : i mentioned it to liam . he said i was just using it to get close to you . i could 've belted the guy . hope : oh . please do n't ... for me . wyatt : why ? i owe him one . okay , fine . i wo n't . look , i just want to say that i 'm in your corner . hope : it 's just so ... it 's inappropriate . i mean , i get that they 're attracted to each other . fine . but a commitment has to mean something , especially a marriage commitment . otherwise , why even bother ? that sounds very old- fashioned . i 'm sorry . wyatt : no . [ chuckles ] no , i 'm actually ... i 'm -- i 'm blown away . hope : by what ? wyatt : you . your ethics , your principles . where did you get that ? hope : not from my mother . wyatt : [ chuckles ] but it had to come from somewhere . you 're such a good person . good - quality human being . it 's just , i love that about you . i do . i really do . [ will coos ] bill : what hope wants for her aunt , what you want for your sister ... it 's not an option for me . my life with katie is finished . brooke : it does n't have to be . bill : it does have to be , brooke . my life with katie , it 's gone . i do n't have those feelings anymore . and if i went back , i would be living a lie . i gave katie every chance , every opportunity , and she turned me away time and time again and insisted -- insisted -- that i should be with you ... until we finally found our way to each other . brooke : on the hillside in big bear after stephanie 's death . bill : that 's when i knew . brooke : your marriage died because of me . bill : no . my marriage died because it was n't meant to be . and katie knew that . brooke : but she could n't accept it . bill : no . no , she could n't . so , what does she do ? she arranges for us to be together , sets up spy cameras in my own living room , conspires with my sister to steal my company , and takes off for new york with my son . so i left . i left it all behind . and when i found you in monte carlo , that was n't the end of my marriage . my marriage was over . it was the beginning of us . i love you , brooke . i want you . and i know you feel the same way . should we deny what we feel for katie , for your daughter ? should we deny what we feel for anyone ? brooke : no . no . i love you . and i accepted your ring . i 've accepted your proposal . there 's nothing more that i want . the good times , the bad times , and everything else that goes along with it . i want to grow old with you . i will be your wife . | hope tells brooke that she is not okay with this . she can sense it , and she never will be okay until bill is back with her aunt katie where he belongs . brooke reminds her that katie kicked him out . she should n't have to keep telling her that . hope says brooke can say it until she is blue in the face but that does n't make it anymore okay . she is living with her sister 's husband and it is wrong . brooke says she hopes hope will rethink this and not move out . hope says if she does n't then it is like condoning their behavior and that is not what she wants to do . brooke asks her to please do n't leave . she loves her and needs her here for her advice and support . justin drops by katie 's office while bill is there . he wants to know when bill will be back as he has been putting out a lot of fires all over the globe . bill says he does n't know exactly when but he will be back . meantime justin is to stay the course . bill tells him that he is going to take his son home . he got permission from the big cheese . after a moment hope tells brooke that okay , she will stay for now but she hopes her mother will seriously listen to her head and not her heart . liam hands brendon , the bartender , his credit card and tells him to put it on his tab . the bartender spots the name and finds out wyatt is his brother .a real nice guy , comes in all the time , a real fun dude . liam says yeah , he 's a real barrel of laughs . the bartender asks if he wants a scotch neat like his bro . liam looks strangely at him and says no , he 'll have a lemonade . oliver walks in and slips into a seat beside him and says this must be the spencer family watering hole . the last time he was here he ran into wyatt and they talked about hope all night . liam laughs that they will have to do a hell of a lot better than that today . liam asks if oliver was at the diamond reveal . oliver says yes , he helped set up a couple of shots , even had to use a filter . he says his man wyatt came through . liam says his man , not his . okay , both hope and wyatt came through big , bringing the stone back from mexico . but apparently hope has given him back his ring . it must be brotherly love . liam scoffs , no it might be brotherly lust . wyatt does n't love hope . oliver says why not , he was in love with hope , liam was so why not wyatt ? he wants to know how it went down . liam tells him about the e - mail hope got about steffy 's video . oliver can only laugh at him that it seemed like a good idea at the time . |
steffy : these are n't bad , actually . ridge : well . positive critique of your brother 's work . it 's a start . steffy : he 's oddly talented when he wants to be . ridge : he gets the oddly part from me . i 'm glad you can keep this professional after everything that he 's put you through . i 'm thinking of working on this hemline a little bit , though , right ? maybe keep it , uh , asymmetrical . that do you think ? steffy : mm - hmm . that could work . ridge : you know , a compliment from you would mean the world to thomas . give him a call , maybe ? steffy : mm , yeah , i do n't think so . ridge : come on , steffy . steffy : i know you want to bring the family back together , but thomas betrayed me . i ca n't just forgive and forget . [ scene_break ] brooke : thomas , this is your chance to at least begin to repair the damage that you 've caused . do the right thing for a change . thomas : you want me to give away my son . brooke : we want you to do what 's best for douglas . you 're not emotionally equipped to raise that little boy , so why do n't you let somebody who is give him the life that he deserves ? thomas : i 'm not gon na sign over my kid . hope : mom , can you give us a moment ? brooke : i do n't think that 's a good idea , sweetheart . hope : i really think i should talk to thomas alone . and besides , this is between him and me . mom , please . it 's okay . brooke : okay . i 'll be right up at the house if you need me . thomas : wait . before you say anything ... i just want you to know ... hurting you ... is the biggest regret of my life . [ scene_break ] ridge : you ca n't give up on family . we got to forgive each other . steffy : you say it like it 's easy . ridge : no , i 'm not -- i do n't mean that at all . i know it 's not easy , but it 's necessary , not for just thomas , but for you . he 's your brother . steffy : yeah , exactly , and where was thomas ? where was sibling loyalty when he kept the secret about beth from me ? ridge : he knows he was wrong . steffy : he did n't just hurt me , dad . he hurt hope . he hurt liam . he hurt kelly . beth was taken from the only home she 's ever known , and i was left with a hole in my heart where phoebe used to be . and that does n't even take into account the way thomas used his own son . ridge : thomas made a lot of mistakes , but one thing i know for sure . he loves his little boy . [ scene_break ] liam : no , no , no , no . no . [ video game sounds ] douglas : score ! win ! liam : this is not fair . you know , when i was your age , these things had actual , like , buttons we could physically press . [ chuckles ] douglas : i 'm the champ . liam : i know you 're the champ . do n't let anybody tell you otherwise . douglas : i like being here . liam : oh , i like having you here , too , pal . douglas : is dad still here ? brooke : your dad is down at the cabin talking to mommy hope . liam : uh , you left them alone ? brooke : it 's what she wanted . douglas : shall i go see him ? brooke : not just yet , sweetie . your dad and hope are talking about some very important plans for the future . [ scene_break ] thomas : i know how it sounds , um , but i 'm not used to rejection . and it threw me a little knowing that you did n't want me . but i knew . on some level i just ... i was ... too stubborn and proud to admit it . i 'm ashamed . but look , i need to make one thing absolutely clear . me letting douglas stay here with you , that does not mean i do n't love him . i love that kid with everything i 've got . hope : so what are you getting at ? thomas : if i were to ever sign adoption papers , it would be for one reason and one reason only . you . i might sign them for you . [ scene_break ] steffy : this looks fantastic . and do we have a time frame when this campaign will launch ? monica : we 're still strategizing on the exact date because we want to coordinate for both social and print . steffy : okay . well , i really want to push this on our digital platforms . monica : for sure . prior to launch , we 'll release some bts posts to hype it up , too . steffy : yeah . monica : and we 're working on those now . steffy : it 's great . thank you , monica . and we really appreciate you stepping up while katie 's recovering . monica : i 'm honored for the opportunity . steffy : i checked in with her earlier on today , and it seems like she 's getting stronger . and she 's really thankful for all that you 're doing . monica : well , i 'll work on these notes . thanks , steffy . steffy : thank you . what ? ridge : i just never get tired of watching you work . that 's why i hired you here . it 's why grandpa wanted you , grandma wanted you working here with your brother . you guys were really close . you miss him ? steffy : i miss phoebe . ridge : he needs your forgiveness right now . steffy : no , no . ridge : he needs your forgiveness , and he needs your strength . steffy : okay . ridge : not to be -- steffy : okay . do n't you see ? his betrayal was so hard for me because thomas and i were so close . he knew beth was phoebe . he knew that she was hope 's daughter , not mine , and instead of preparing me , giving me time to say goodbye , he allowed beth to be ripped from my arms . like , how am i supposed to forgive him ? ridge : i do n't know how . we have to find a way . i 'm here . we 're family . he went about this completely the wrong way , but he was trying to create an instant family for douglas 'cause he lost his mom . but he 's trying to get better , and maybe you could find a way to support that ? steffy : he 's been texting me . i know he 's trying to make things right . ridge : okay . let him try . he 's still your big brother , and he 's still the guy who wants to raise his own kid . [ scene_break ] steffy : brooke 's not having it . she wants hope and liam to raise douglas . ridge : yeah , she made that very clear . steffy : she is way out of line . she 's in no position to dictate who raises douglas . douglas : daddy and hope are making plans ? brooke : exciting ones . douglas : then what kind of plans ? liam : uh , well , um , uh , you know what ? you 're gon na find out soon enough , but right now , i actually need you to get ready 'cause andy 's mom is gon na come pick you up , so do you want to get your bag together downstairs ? douglas : yeah . liam : yeah . brooke : you 're a good boy , douglas . you 're always gon na be surrounded by people who love you . liam : [ sighs ] so , uh , you were n't gon na tell him , huh ? brooke : no , of course not . we do n't want to confuse him or get his hopes up for nothing . besides , it 's not really my place . if he is going to be adopted , you and hope need to say something , or thomas . liam : good . right . yeah . so thomas and hope are just ... alone down there ? [ scene_break ] thomas : this is nice . [ chuckles ] just the two of us having a civil conversation . it 's been a long time . hope : it has . thomas : it 's my fault . i know that . i just ... look , i 'm not making any excuses , but everything i did i did for my son . hope : well , i mean , there is a way to try and move past it for douglas ' sake . thomas : that 's what i want . i want to do everything for douglas . it 's what i 've been trying to do . look , losing caroline was a huge blow to all of us , and it was a blow we did n't expect , and ... i -- i had to come up with a new plan , okay ? and that plan was you -- creating this family with you and douglas -- and that 's the family i thought that he needed . look , back then , i had this vision of myself as this good , honest person , and i think i was at one point , but then , somewhere along the way , i -- i lost my way , and ... look , i 'm telling -- telling you . i 've been trying to better myself , okay ? that -- that 's what i 've been working on . hope : well , i 'm really glad to hear that . thomas : it 's a start , right ? if , um ... if i ca n't have that life with you that i wanted , well , maybe douglas still can . [ scene_break ] ridge : there is a little tension between brooke and me . steffy : she does n't get to decide who raises douglas . she 's not even blood . is the friction between you two the real reason you moved out ? ridge : i moved out because i wanted to be present for thomas and for you . once we 've figured all this out , i 'm gon na move back in with my wife . steffy : yeah . for your sake , i -- i hope it 's that easy . ridge : what do you mean ? steffy : it just seems that you and brooke are on this collision course that could really affect your marriage . [ scene_break ] liam : you know , they -- they really should n't be alone down there . brooke : hope insisted i let them talk , just the two of them . liam : uh , well , yeah , but , uh , like , did you object ? brooke : well , i did say it was n't a very good idea . liam : you were absolutely right . what is she thinking ? brooke : i was trying to be calm and reasonable , but thomas is well aware of my feelings for him , so hope thought she could appeal to thomas better than i could . once you and hope have legal rights to douglas , it 'll be much better . [ scene_break ] hope : i want what 's best for douglas . thomas : i believe you do . but what about brooke ? i mean , does she actually care about douglas , or is this just payback for -- for what i put you through ? hope : my mother 's name is n't on those adoption papers . mine is . and you wanted me to be a mother to douglas , remember ? thomas : of course i remember . i remember everything . every word that we shared , uh , it 's seared into my memory . it 's been hard , hope , not being with my son . but for the first time since caroline died ... he genuinely seems happy , and that 's because of you . he needs a mother , and that 's a role i ca n't fill . hope : i ... i know this is asking a lot of you . but i have come to love douglas as if he were my own . so please just let him stay permanently with me and liam , the family that he has grown to be a part of . thomas : i would do anything for you , hope . i think i -- i proved that but in all the wrong ways . hope : yeah , you caused a lot of heartbreak . thomas : for you especially . hope : and douglas , too . thomas : i never meant to hurt my son . hope : do you trust me ? thomas : yeah . hope : enough to know what 's in his best interests ? 'cause that is all i care about . i just want to give him all the love and support and attention he needs to be his best self , so please just ... please just let me do that ... like you wanted . and if you want to make up for what happened , then do something good for him . put douglas ' needs first and sign these papers . [ scene_break ] ridge : no , i admit it 's been challenging with brooke . we 're on different sides of the fence when it comes to thomas . i think he 's doing better , and she thinks he 's irredeemable , and ... i do n't know what to do about it . maybe a little distance will be good for all of us . and , um ... i could use your help , too . steffy : mm - mm . i doubt it . brooke does n't even listen to me . ridge : that 's not what i want . i want you to listen to thomas . steffy : wow . you are persistent . ridge : just listen to him . he wants to apologize . let him do it . steffy : and what about you and brooke ? if she expects thomas to let hope and liam raise douglas indefinitely , there 's a lot more rough road ahead . [ scene_break ] liam : i love douglas . there 's no question about that . he 's an exceptional kid . he 's smart and brave and kind and funny , and he -- he brought beth back to us . brooke : he 's thriving under your care . liam : that 's what i 'm saying . that -- that does n't have to change . i mean , thomas is basically going along with the living conditions so far . thomas : thomas is erratic and unpredictable . that 's exactly why douglas needs to live with you and hope . liam : but he is . he is living with us . that 's -- that 's kind of my point . so when you , you know , took out the adoption papers and threw them down and demanded thomas sign , it kind of threw me because , if we rush into this ... brooke : liam , this is the way it needs to be . thomas is dangerous . he could snap at any minute over god knows what . douglas needs to be protected . and the four of you are living together already . you 're a sweet little family -- you and hope and douglas and beth . now you just need to make it legal . and with any luck , that is what hope is doing right now . [ scene_break ] hope : you made a promise to douglas after caroline died that i would be like a new mother to him . thomas : that 's how it was supposed to be -- you , me , douglas , this happy family . hope : only it did n't work out that way , except for the fact that i did grow to love douglas as if he were my own son , and that is what you wanted . like you said , he needs a mother , and i can be that to him . i am that to him , and i will be if you let me . i think you know deep down that this is where he belongs , where he is happy and safe , and he 's like a big brother to beth , and , if you want to make up for the harm that you caused douglas and me , then ... thomas : that -- that -- that -- that is what i want . okay , look , i made decisions i ca n't justify , but i never meant to hurt you or douglas . hope : prove it . sign the papers . let me take care of him . let me nurture him because at this point i need to know that he 's safe with me , that he 's mine , that he 's not just gon na be ripped away , and douglas needs that security , too , and you have the power to give that to him . thomas : what you 're asking for is huge . i love my son . i want to do what 's best for him . having you as a mother -- obviously i know that you 'd be a great mother . i just -- i do n't know -- i 'm not saying that that 's not best for him . i ... i just ... i need to think , okay ? hope : so y ... you 'll consider it ? i mean , you 'll seriously ... consider letting me adopt him ? i know that this is the hardest decision you will ever have to make . thomas : your mother destroyed my family . hope : and i am ... thomas : you broke my heart . hope : ... so , so , sorry ... thomas : twice . hope : ... it 's come to this . thomas : i was done with all the logan women . i would have been happy to never see any of you again . hope : ... stability and the love ... thomas : but being here with you ... hope : ... with liam and me ... thomas : ... like this , looking in your beautiful eyes . hope : ... consistency ... thomas : hearing your sweet voice being gentle ... needing something from me . i just want to kiss you . you drive me insane . how -- how do you always get to me ? hope : will you , thomas ? thomas : what ? what ? hope : will you take what i 'm saying to heart and seriously consider signing the adoption papers ? thomas : yeah . i will , um ... i will seriously consider ... you adopting my son . hope : thank you . thomas : for what it 's worth , i stay awake nights thinking through all the things that i did wrong . i mean , how hard would it have been to just -- to just do the right thing , you know ? and -- and even ... even if you had left me ... you 'd still respect me . i 'm sorry , hope . i am so sorry for what i did to you , okay ? and i will spend the rest of my life proving to you how much i regret it , how much i regret what i did , okay ? and showing you that i care about you , how much i will always care about you . | steffy 's at work and ridge shows her thomas 's designs . she thinks not bad . he says a compliment from her would mean the world to thomas . she says she can not just forgive him like that for what he did . he says the same old ; they are family and it is not easy but necessary . she says thomas uses people and he uses his own son too . he says he is happy to see her working but it should be with her brother too . she tells him that hope was way out of line and she has no business dictating who will raise douglas . she 's not even blood kin . he tells her he moved out of brooke 's so he could be closer to her and to thomas . she reminds him not to wreck his marriage . he says he knows he and brooke are on opposite sides of the fence . she says and if brooke talks thomas into letting go of douglas then there are going to be many more rough days ahead . thomas tells brooke that she wants him to give away his son ; he is not going to sign over his son . hope wants to talk to thomas alone . brooke does not agree but gives in and says she will be right up the hill . liam is not happy to hear that hope is alone with thomas . brooke tells liam that he needs to speak up if there is any chance they can get douglas . thomas tells hope that hurting her is the biggest regret of his life . he 's not used to rejection and it threw him a little when he knew she did not want him . he was too stubborn to admit it and he was ashamed . and letting douglas stay with her does not mean he does not love his son . he would only sign those papers for hope . he lost his way but he has been trying to better himself . if he can not have that life with hope then maybe douglas still can . she reminds him that he wanted her to be douglas 's mother . so she begs him to sign the papers and let her and liam have him permanently . she just wants to give him all the love and support that he wanted . if thomas wants to make up to her for what he did then sign these papers . |

[ applause ] yeah . yeah . nick : you 're feeling guilty , and you want to confess . i get that . i feel the same thing sometimes . but it 'd be selfish . brooke : selfish ? nick : that 's right , selfish . just think of where forrester is right now in his life , what he 's got -- peace . massimo 's accepted you . stephanie . brooke : stephanie made a toast to me tonight , welcoming me into the family . nick : that 's what i 'm talking about . think of how much that must have meant to ridge , that his kids have a mother again . his life 's on track . now if you tell him what happened between us , you 're gon na ruin all that . brooke : if i love him , i 'll lie ? nick : i know it 's hard . brooke : you ca n't do it . that 's why you 're leaving . but you expect me to look him in the eye -- nick : forget about me . you risked your life for the man . you 'd have died for him . you can do this . brooke : no , nick . i ca n't . ridge : my mother singing brooke 's praises -- hallelujah , there must be a blizzard in hades right now . stephanie : mm - hmm . well , only mf she does n't hurt you or those children . if she does , i 'll have to have her shot . but that 's not gon na happen , is it ? ridge : admit it . you like her . stephanie : i like the way she handled herself in puerto vista , yes . all right , i 'll admit that i 'm happy to see she 's put a smile back on your face . ridge : oh , yeah . i feel like brooke and i have so much to look forward to -- raising the kids , our new business , another baby . stephanie : a baby ? ridge : well , we 're working on it . we 're working on it . stephanie : well , i can see that 's making you happy . ridge : there 's only one little smudge in this whole perfect picture , though -- nick . i really thought he and i were getting closer there , and now he 's just taking off . what do you think about this business trip , huh ? i 'm not so sure about it . stephanie : i do n't think he 's going away on a business trip . ridge : i got the same feeling . stephanie : could it have something to do with brooke ? ridge : no , mother . do n't start again . stephanie : i 'm not questioning her . i 'm questioning his feelings for her . ridge : i do n't think that 's an issue . nick gave us his blessing . stephanie : that 's all well and good , but he might need more time for that sort of transition . ridge : hmm . you know , brooke might not be back for a little while . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na head down to the marina . stephanie : you think you can catch him ? ridge : i 'm gon na try . nick came through for me big time in puerto vista . i do n't want to let him leave without saying good - bye .

taylor : you 've been having fantasies of harming brooke . but you know you ca n't act on those feelings . stephanie : i know i 've got to do something . i ca n't live like this . taylor : i 'm not going to deny that you have n't made some mistakes in the past . stephanie : i know i should never have faked that heart attack . believe me , i know that . i do n't even know who i am anymore . [ stephanie laughs ] i used to be , i thought , a strong , decent woman . stephanie douglas . that 's who i was before eric and i got married . and then when we started having a family , i wanted to teach them those same sort of values . i wanted them to be strong , decent people . but , somewhere along the line -- i lost those values . and i -- i lost eric . he hates who i am , who i 've become . and so do i. i do n't know who i am anymore . [ scene_break ] thomas : ah , it 's not right . gaby : what 's wrong with it ? thomas : i do n't know . thorne : what do you think , clarke ? thomas : you can say it . clarke : it 's okay . it still needs a little work . thomas : oh , i know , i know . it 's not as good as my last collection . sally : wait a minute . you ca n't cancel your order before you 've even seen it . come on now , we had a deal . spectra was counting on you ! oh , rats . bucky , you 'd better get a hold of shipping . tell them to hold that order . clarke : you got it . gaby : another one ? thomas : they think i 'm a one hit wonder . sally : it 's got nothing to do with you , honey . it 's the press ! they 're all in a lather over brooke and eric part deux . spectra could n't buy a headline right now . clarke : yes . and unfortunately , sales follow the buzz . thorne : well , we 'll get our buzz back when thomas wins this contest . sally : he better . darla : sally , what is going on ? what did you do ? sally : nothing . nothing . i -- i might have , you know , i might have made a few poorly timed investments . i mean , thomas ' first line did so well , i thought this one would , too . so i just , you know , bought some much - needed new equipment . some -- so we had to up production to handle the preorders that were coming in . thomas : the preorders people are canceling ? sally : look , it was a risk . i knew it was a risk . but in order to win big , you 've got to bet big . thorne : and if you lose , you lose everything . [ scene_break ] ridge : this is a mistake . deep down , you know it . eric : no , it 's not , ridge . it 's not a mistake . ridge : it 's not a real marriage , dad . brooke only married you to put bridget 's mind at ease . eric : brooke and i are building a future together , ridge . ridge : you both want to help bridget . you think that she 's going to take nick back if brooke 's off the market . that 's not the basis of a marriage , dad . brooke 's just going through the motions here . come on , you 've got to be more realistic than this . eric : i am , ridge . and so is brooke . look , passion and blind impulse have never served either one of us very well . brooke does n't want another fantasy relationship . what she wants is a relationship based on trust and mutual respect . ridge : so what about love ? eric : there are many kinds of love , ridge . this is not the love of a young girl following some pipe dream . this is the love of woman who has found somebody she can trust and believe in . look , ridge -- brooke and i have a great chemistry . we 're building a solid family here , we 're running this company together . we 're having a good time doing it . what could be better ? ridge : it 's all an illusion , dad . brooke could be gone , just like that , if the right word 's being said . eric : said by whom , ridge ? who 's going to take brooke away from me ? nick ? or you ? [ scene_break ] taylor : do you realize what you 've just admitted ? i mean , i think it 's a huge step forward . you just admitted that you -- you might be needing some help . [ stephanie laughs ] stephanie : well , it 's kind of hard not to see that when your whole family turns their back on you . taylor : but you did n't see it before . not for a very long time . you did n't see what this obsession with brooke was doing to your family , and what it was doing to you . stephanie : i just wanted -- i just wanted to protect them . taylor : and they 'll be more willing to forgive you . i think ridge has already started to come around . stephanie : he 's angry with eric for marrying her . taylor : he is definitely in your corner . and i really think , once you begin to make an effort to change , a lot of other people will be , too . stephanie : for how long ? i seem to alienate everybody with my opinions . [ stephanie sighs ] i just -- they do n't need me anymore . they do n't need my help . i mean , if i ca n't help my family , what am i good for ? taylor : you say you 're whole life has been about protecting your family . but has n't your focus the last few years been about brooke ? stephanie : well , with good reason . look what she 's done to her daughter . taylor : so , it 's not just your children . it 's her children , too . stephanie : well , i 've tried to help her . taylor : is she any better off for it ? i mean , really , has anyone 's life improved with all of the help you 've been giving everyone ? you just said that this obsession with brooke has cost you a lot . stephanie : i 've failed . i can see that . taylor : or maybe you 've just been putting all of your energy in the wrong place . maybe you need to let your family live their own lives and focus on you . stephanie : on me ? taylor : you mentioned this person , stephanie douglas , earlier . i 've never heard you refer to yourself that way . stephanie : well , i suppose , people , when they do n't have too much to look forward to , probably start to look backward , do n't they ? taylor : was that a happier time in your life ? stephanie : well , i was -- well , yes , i was happy . i mean , i was very proud of my family . i was very proud to be a douglas . you know , that 's before eric and i were married . when we were in college , at northwestern . taylor : do you still have a lot friends from that time ? stephanie : well , i mean , we stay in touch . you know , the usual -- christmas cards and birthday cards , you know , weddings . several of them actually live in florida . and they all know one another . you know , are friends with each other still . taylor : do you ever go visit ? stephanie : not as often as i -- i suppose i could have . it 's funny , is n't it ? you start remembering old friends . and you start remembering who you used to be . what you used to be like . i had certain ideals i used to rely on . certain beliefs that sustained me , and -- i do n't know , i guess i got confused . it was before brooke . before brooke turned ridge and eric against me . and against each other . [ scene_break ] ridge : come on , dad . i 'm not threatening to take brooke away from you . eric : well , i certainly hope not . for taylor 's sake . ridge : i 'm very committed to her . which is more than i can say for you and brooke . eric : look , ridge , i 'm happier than i have been in a long time . i 'm more creative , i have more energy . and every moment i spend with brooke , i feel more alive . i know this is difficult for everyone to accept . especially jackie . and if you 're feeling strange about this , or jealous in any way -- ridge : hey , i 'm not jealous . eric : no ? because the way you 're acting , it seems like -- ridge : dad , brooke and i are always going to have a connection . our son . your grandchild . now , he 's going to be -- you 're going to be his step - dad ? what the hell is that going to do to him ? eric : r.j. is a very lucky little boy . you know , he 's going to grow up in a very stable home . ridge : this situation with you and brooke is already in the papers . it 's not going to be long before the two of you are on every tabloid in the world . eric : i 'm not going to let it affect our children . ridge : but you do n't give a damn how it affects mother , do you ? have you thought about that ? it was n't humiliating enough to have you leave her for brooke before . how could you do that to her again ? uh oh , my first bath ... taylor : stephanie , you can try to work on these issues and take care of yourself , but that does n't necessarily mean that the whole family is going to come back around . and that includes eric . [ scene_break ] stephanie : well , he 'll never come back if i do n't at least try . taylor : but you ca n't do it for him . you have to do it for you . you still are stephanie douglas . stephanie : i 'm definitely not mrs. eric forrester anymore . taylor : well , you might see that that 's not such a bad thing . and you might be able to see it better if you put a little distance between you and everything that 's happened . really . i think you should go away . take a vacation . go visit your friends . stephanie : if only life were really that simple . taylor : well , i think a vacation would be really good for you . stephanie : eric and brooke will still be married . that wo n't change . nothing will actually change . taylor : except for you . stephanie , when you came in here , you told me that you could n't live like this and that you had to do something about it . i just gave you a suggestion . now , it is up to you to act on it . [ scene_break ] ridge : you accuse mother of acting irrationally ? you and brooke are doing the same damn thing . eric : you think this is irrational ? ridge : no , i think it 's worse . you 're not trying to hide this crazy behavior . you 're just flaunting it for the whole world to see . eric : look , ridge -- i promise you none of this is meant to punish your mother . ridge : it does n't bother you how devastated she is ? eric : not as much as it bothers you , i 'll admit that . look , ridge , your mother will always be a part of my life . she 's a part of this company . ridge : well , then annul this quickie marriage and find a way to make amends . eric : no . no , ridge . your mother and i are involved in each other 's lives . we always will be . but i can not be her husband ! ridge : dad , you know it 's just -- because she 's not herself these days . eric : well , who is she ? who is she now ? i do n't know her anymore . ridge : it 's because of everything that 's happened ! because of mistakes like this ! eric : or like your marriage to brooke ? you know , it 's very easy to defend stephanie with the idea that she 's doing everything for the family , until it 's your life that she 's interfering in . she goes too far , ridge . she does n't know where to stop anymore . [ phone ringing ] forrester . stephanie : eric , it 's -- it 's me . and i 'd like to see you . eric : look , i do n't feel like having another argument today . stephanie : i do n't want to have any arguments . i just want to talk to you . as a matter of fact , i want to talk to everyone in the family . have you seen ridge ? eric : well , he 's here . stephanie : oh , is he ? well , could you bring him with you ? and could you come up to the house ? eric : when ? stephanie : now . eric : all right , we 'll be there . stephanie : now . eric : all right , we 'll be there .

[ nick laughs ] nick : well , if there 's one thing i do n't feel towards you , it 's fatherly . brooke : you just do n't think i can make it through a day or even through a conversation on my own ? nick : that 's not true . i do n't feel that way at all . brooke : my father walked out on me and my family . and that i can not change . that is a permanent factor in my life . and ridge is a permanent factor in my life . nick : why does his name always have to come up ? brooke : because he is the father of my child and you seem to need to protect me from that -- protect me from these things in my life , and i do n't need you to . nick : i do n't need to protect from your life , brooke . i need to protect you from your ex in your life . brooke : then there 's still a problem here . one that you have n't even tried to rectify . nick : i have tried . i 've tried to do the right thing , especially around him , but it never seems to go well . brooke : you have the power to prevent that . i am through being called a bad wife for not cutting off the father of my child . and i am through working over at marone industries when i should be working out of forrester creations , a company that you do n't even trust me to set foot in . nick : come on , brooke , i have told you time and time again , it 's not you that i do n't trust . brooke : are you really gon na point fingers , nick , after you slept with my daughter ? nick : i think i 've taken responsibility for that . brooke : only because you had to . bridget got pregnant and you thought it was your child . nick : brooke , she pleaded with me not to say anything to you and i did n't -- i honored that . brooke : well , then you 're the one having a hard time trying to figure out where your loyalties lie -- not me .

[ scene_break ] ridge : naturally , if brooke has anything to say to your son , she 's gon na say it in a public place . you know how he gets . he gets upset and starts throwing things and yelling . jackie : brooke has a pretty healthy temper herself . ridge : and probably a divorce lawyer joining them for dessert . stephanie : i thought i heard voices . what is she doing here ? ridge : she claims she 's here to help phoebe . how is she ? stephanie : she 's exhausted , honey . jackie : i did n't know that ridge would be here . stephanie : oh , well then what were you going to do ? come over and fill phoebe 's head with insinuations about her father and the soon to be ex mrs. marone ? ridge : jackie thinks i should dedicate my future to baking cakes to take taylor on visiting days . jackie : i thought you 'd be grateful , both of you , for any offers of friendship now . stephanie : i think we both know what you 're offering . ridge : mother , would you mind hanging out here in case phoebe needs someone ? i just want to go finish packing up my things ? stephanie : of course , honey . jackie : i commend you , ridge , for doing the right thing . ridge : i wo n't be long . stephanie : thank you . who the hell are you to commend anyone about anything ? and what nerve you have to tell my son how to take care of his family and how to live his life ? jackie : i was merely expressing approval . but do n't worry , he 's still your marionette . and by the way , you are not doing him any favors by letting him to think my son will ever give up on his marriage . stephanie : only you -- only you would think that a man sleeping his wife 's daughter was a tiny marital spat . i mean , really , jackie . it 's nick i feel sorry for . i mean , how would he know any better having been raised by trash like you ? [ scene_break ] nick : okay , you make a good point . you work at forrester , be at forrester . brooke : will i have to call security every time you stop by ? nick : i 'll behave . brooke : you 're a little rough with me sometimes , you know ? nick : rough ? what are you talking -- how am i rough ? brooke : if you want to take me by the arm , that 's fine , but do n't pull me around by it . and everything you say to me in that raised voice of yours , you can say in a normal tone . nick : okay . brooke : also , whenever something wrong happens in our marriage , you run off to your boat and you kind of distance yourself emotionally . that ca n't happen either . look , i know i 'm asking a lot of you . but if we 're gon na really try to make this happen , save our marriage , then i need one thing from you . i need respect .

[ scene_break ] bill : so , this is what you want to do now , katie ? really ? call the police ? katie : no , i do n't want to call the police , but i will if you try to keep me from my child . brooke : it 's his father , katie . bill : come on . he should be able to spend the night with me . katie : if a judge decides that , then maybe . brooke : oh , my gosh , you 're getting worked up over nothing . katie : this is none of your business . stay out of it . it 's about the well- being of my son . bill : your son 's well - being ? you 're gon na take him home , hand him to the nanny , and go back to work , and that 's for your son 's well - being ? katie : well , i am single , working mother . i have been known to utilize a sitter from time to time . bill : right . let him stay here with me , katie . katie : no , bill . bill : it was so important to you to take my job , so you team up with my sister to accomplish that . that was your choice . single , working mother ? that 's a joke . you 're not sacrificing your time with will because you 're trying to make ends meet . you are sacrificing your time with will simply to spite me . brooke : will is innocent in all of this . you really should n't keep him from his father . katie : i 'm not keeping him from bill . bill has time with will , and now his time is up , so give me my son . bill : katie , let him spend the night with me . i promise i will bring him home first thing in the morning . katie : i - i can see it was a mistake letting him come here in the first place . no . no , bill . he 's not sleeping in this house as long as you 're sleeping with my sister . [ scene_break ] pam : well , yeah , but that domain name could be associated with any device over at quinn 's company , right ? it does n't necessarily prove that it was wyatt who did it . liam : no , i can . i - i can prove it , because wyatt had to forward himself the e - mail from my original , right ? and then he deleted it . here 's what he ca n't delete . if i start a new e - mail , my account 's gon na remember his address and fill it in automatically . pam : oh , right . right . that 's like when i try to e - mail donna , and i press the `` d , `` and then all these options pop up . wyatt : uh - huh . pam : you know , like debbie @ thecrochetclub , donna @ forrestercreations , and dobermanfan ... liam : what ? pam : dobermanfan -- that 's just one of my online buddies . liam : no , i -- this . i mean , i 'm typing his name in , but there 's no record of me ever sending an e - mail to him . pam : well , you know what ? maybe he does n't go by `` wyatt `` there . you know , maybe if you tried typing in president @ quinnartisans , or , you know , whatever title he goes by . liam : not bad , pam . not bad . whoa . pam : what ? quinn ? his mother sent the video to hope ?

eric : that 's not a question for you to be asking . sheila : but you must have doubts . eric : no . sheila : well , quinn tells you that -- that these things just happen , and -- and you trust her ? you do n't have any doubts ? well , you know what ? quinn is the kind of woman that craves attention . and she 's gon na get it no matter what . and the more desirable a man is , the more she wants that admiration from him . i 'm sorry , eric . but it 's only a matter of time before that woman succumbs to the touch of another man . quinn : i do n't want to hear it ! i want you to go ! mateo : mrs. forrester , please ! it was a mistake ! quinn : your behavior was totally unacceptable ! get your things and get out ! mateo : i 'm sorry ! quinn : i can see that . but you crossed the line , mateo ! you ca n't work here anymore ! mateo : no , no , no ! this job is too good ! i - i - i do n't know what i was thinking ! quinn : neither do i ! eric and i brought you into this house ! we -- we -- we loved having you here ! you were a valuable employee ! you 're hard working , contentious , and then -- and then you proposition me when you know how much i love my husband ?

whose idea was it ? mateo : this lady offered me a lot of money , and i should n't have accepted ! i should have said no , but the money was so good ! quinn : hold on a second . back up . somebody paid you to set me up ? who was it ? what was her name ? ! mateo : sheila carter . sheila : you ca n't be sure what quinn is up to . eric : she 's not up to anything . sheila : you want to believe that . you want to believe that she 's faithful , that she 's -- that she 's good and loyal like you are , but she is n't , eric . she 's already proven that . eric : i 'm not gon na listen to this . sheila : no , you know what ? i 'm not saying these things to hurt you . but i think you need to believe the truth . eric : i do , sheila . sheila : no , eric , you know what ? i 'm sorry , but i think you 're about to find out the truth very soon . i think you need to be asking yourself , `` what do i really know about this woman ? `` her portrait hangs above your -- your mantel . she has a powerful position in your heart and in your home . and do n't you think you need to ask yourself if quinn is really worthy of it ? quinn : sheila carter put you up to this ?

it would be that easy . all i need is some young , handsome man to show me some attention and i would throw my whole marriage away ? ! mateo : i should n't have listened ! i 'm sorry ! sheila obviously wants mr . forrester for herself ! she said that they were married before ! quinn : [ sighs ] mateo : she has a portrait just like yours ! quinn : what do you mean ? mateo : in her hotel , she has a painting like that one . quinn : of me ? mateo : of her . she wants to be his wife again . quinn : well , that 's never gon na happen . sheila carter will never be mrs . eric forrester ever again . liam : you know i did n't give sally the building just to tick off my dad . steffy : but you knew it would . liam : yeah . but it was still the right thing to do . steffy : liam , that building is worth millions of dollars . you ca n't just give it away and expect your father to be okay with it . i know you 're trying to help , but you 've gone too far . you 're giving sally way too much . liam : i 'm just giving her a chance . i 'm just -- i 'm -- i 'm putting more time on the clock , that 's it . steffy : with a bunch of zeroes on the spectra balance sheet . liam : okay , okay . but what 's wrong with that if that 's what spencer owes her ? i mean , her collection was gon na be a huge hit . my dad knew that , and he made sure no one ever saw it , so ... steffy : i just do n't want you to get your hopes up . liam : what ? that sally will be successful ?

steffy : oh , yeah . yeah , that 's it . liam : you know you like me just the way i am . steffy : i do n't know . i could barely recognize you when you were just so angry with your father . but my feelings for you did n't change . liam : [ sighs ] i know how frustrated you were , trying to keep peace between me and my father . steffy : yeah . just had to do it in your own time . liam : yes , but i put you in a really uncomfortable situation , and you just kept hanging in there . steffy : yeah , well , you know , my dad and my granddad went through the same thing , and it was really ugly . but they got through it , and i just knew that you and your father would . liam : we really might not have if it were n't for you . steffy : i was gon na make sure you two were n't gon na give up on each other . and i know that you and your father are different , but you love each other . and i was n't gon na let you guys forget that . liam : well , i 'm not gon na let you forget how grateful i am , 'cause you are an extraordinary woman , steffy spencer . i really think marrying you was , like , the most genius idea i 've ever had . steffy : [ laughs ] i love you . liam : i love you , too . eric : i hope you do well here , sheila . i really do . sheila : eric -- eric : i just wish that you could be a little more compassionate towards my wife . sheila : i 'm not badmouthing her . i 'm just expressing concern . eric : you 're questioning her commitment to me . sheila : no , you know what ?

[ chuckles ] pam : did she try that same argument on you ? charlie : no , uh , she -- she actually tried a different angle with me . pam : yeah , but she did say , of course , that we should n't get married at eric 's house . charlie : quinn said i should n't marry you at all . liam : hey . how 's he doing ? katie : he looks really bad . thorne : we did n't want this to happen . ridge : we did n't go over there to start a fight . he threw the first punch . liam : so , what , two against one ? ridge : mm , i do n't want to talk badly about a man in his condition , but you know how he is . he flies off the handle . especially if he knows he 's wrong . wyatt : i 'm sorry , are we doing this right now ? we 're pointing fingers ? i mean , while he 's laid up in there , we do n't know what 's gon na happen -- we 're doing that ? liam : hey . hey . listen . listen . maybe -- maybe you should just -- maybe you should just go in there , say hi to him , something . wyatt : no , you know what , you go . i 'll -- i 'll wait for those results , you know , the doctor was talking about . liam : uh , you sure ? wyatt : it 's fine . yeah . liam : okay . ridge : you wanted to know what happened . i told you what happened . smoothing haircare , from whole blends . pam : quinn told you not to marry me ? ! charlie : just breathe , okay ? breathe . look , i do n't want to upset you , but we 're engaged . and i 'm not gon na hold anything back from my fiancée , so ... pam : okay . charlie : yes . quinn said that you were crazy and that i should n't marry you . pam : [ gasps ] quinn : i 'm mrs . eric forrester . the only mrs . eric forrester . eric : yes , you are . you absolutely are . quinn , and if anybody ever says anything to disrespect you , i 'll be the first person to stand up and defend you , of course . but i do n't see how pam 's wedding would be anything -- quinn : it 's not the wedding ! it 's the assumption . the assumption that any relative of your late wife has more claim to this house than i do . eric : well , that 's simply not true . it is n't true . quinn : really ? so you think pam would go over to brooke 's house and tell her to take down a portrait or a picture , or walk into the c.e.o . office at forrester and move stuff around ? it 's a reflection of how she sees me and my standing in your life , and she 's making it very clear -- i 'm replaceable . eric : i understand that this conversation the two of you had was upsetting , i do . i think you both said things that were hurtful to each other -- quinn : can i say no ? i mean , this is my home , right ? do i have a say in what happens here ? eric : yes , of course you do . quinn : then i 'm gon na say it again . my portrait does not come down off that wall , and pam and charlie are not getting married in our living room . liam : if you keep ending up in the hospital like this , people are gon na start to think you like it . i know you do n't like it . hooked up to all these machines , you 're unable to do anything you want to do . you hate it , do n't you ? now 's the time . come on . you got to -- you got to -- you got to open your eyes , dad . this is -- i mean , come on ! all you ever do is pick fights . that 's like your whole thing , right ? i mean , it 's what got you here in the first place , and now you finally have something worth fighting for -- katie is trying to give you more time with will . you have a chance to reverse this whole thing , but you got to be there , you know ? you actually have to show up , and you said -- you said that you wanted to spend more time with your family . is n't that right ? more time with your sons , more time with your granddaughter . granddaughters . plural . yeah , i never told you . hope and i went to ... we went to a doctor 's appointment . we found out we 're having a girl , and , um ... [ scoffs ] this is so weird . why -- why is this the only way i feel comfortable talking with you ? that is not right . once upon a time , we had a good relationship , we were actually close , and i should be able to tell you anything . i should be able to talk to you about my feelings and what 's on my mind , and you make it so damn difficult , and i have to put up this wall just to protect myself . it 's -- and it 's a shame . you know what , it 's a shame because underneath all of this , deep down , dad , i -- just wake up ! come on ! thorne : this was an accident . wyatt : he just said it was a fight . thorne : it was -- ridge : that bill started . wyatt : oh . brooke : he did n't deserve to be sent to the hospital . katie : yeah , and will did n't deserve this , either . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : detective sanchez . det . sanchez : any news about mr . spencer ? katie : uh , we still do n't know anything . ridge : how can we help you , detective ? det . sanchez : i heard there was an incident at the spencer house . i spoke to bill 's doctor , the paramedics at the scene . you and your brother were there . look , i understand there 's evidence of a fight . [ grunting ] det . sanchez : i need to get the facts down right away . i need to know exactly what happened . [ glass shatters ] [ grunting continues ] det . sanchez : hey , how did bill spencer fall from the balcony ? was it an accident ? or was he pushed ? | the doctor checks bill 's condition at the hospital while brooke and katie hold ridge and thorne responsible for being at his home when he went over the balcony . pam wants to talk to eric about his wife not wanting the marriage at his house . she wants to know if he would rather she and charlie get married somewhere else . he promises he has not changed his mind and he will talk to quinn about her reservations . quinn tells charlie that he is a good security guard so that is why this engagement of his is so scary . maybe he needs to take a little more time since they both know pam has issues . he might be putting himself in a precarious situation . charlie says that is rich since it was n't that long ago that people were saying the same thing about eric marrying her . wyatt rushes to the hospital to find they do not know much until bill regains consciences . he wants details while ridge and thorne are quiet and pretend business as usual . liam rushes in too and they both want to know what ridge and thorne were even doing there when bill went over the balcony . katie goes in first and cries to bill that she needs him to wake up and be okay . she remembers now when will was born and how helpless bill must have felt . she knew bill had so much inside of him to give to his son . and he continues to fight hard for their son and they both love each other so much . |
ridge : so how 's that ? you want me to take the bodice in a little more or you okay ? model 1 : no , it feels amazing . model 2 : yeah , it 's perfect . i am definitely borrowing this for my birthday . ridge : as you should . you 're late ! thomas : yeah . ridge : thank you , ladies . come on , man . did you finish your revisions ? thomas : i did n't have time . i had a meeting with hope . ridge : about what ? thomas : she wants to take my son . they already had papers drawn up . ridge : what papers ? thomas : adoption papers . they want to keep douglas forever . ting to tell douglas until the adoption is finalized . liam : yeah , well , it 's nice he 's got this playdate with andy so he 's not around for any of this 'cause honestly there 's no way of telling which way it 's gon na go . hope : well , there 's only one way it can go . brooke : did thomas sign the papers ? hope : not yet . but he will . bill : so you 're adding babysitting services to your resume . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , you always did tell me to diversify . no , the nanny called in sick and steffy asked if uncle wyatt would take care of kelly till she gets home . bill : well , you know , normally i would dock an employee 's pay for not showing up at the office . wyatt : but -- bill : but in this case i 'm going to make an exception because it gives me an excuse to see my granddaughter . wyatt : you want to say hi to grandpa ? grandpa ! bill : come see your grandad . wyatt : grandpa ! bill : you beautiful little girl , what do you got there ? wyatt : oh , you better take that compliment now . otherwise he 's gon na tell you how to live your life . bill : no , i only do that to you . wyatt : ha , ha , ha . bill : what 's that ? wyatt : how 's katie doing ? bill : oh , boy . we still have nurses coming 24/7 , but thank god , she 's getting better every day . wyatt : that 's good . yeah , i was thinking about her . bill : you know , we have n't had much of a chance to -- to connect with everything going on , wyatt . wyatt : yeah , we can wait on that . unless you came over here purposely because you knew i could n't escape . bill : an engagement , wyatt ? wyatt : oh , here we go . bill : really ? you got down on one knee for sally spectra ? your uncle , huh ? your uncle . wyatt : i know , it 's time for your nap . bill : i 'm not even tired . wyatt : not you . but this is a very important life lesson here , okay ? whenever grandpa starts asking you about things , you tell him it 's none of his damn business . bill : oh , a much more important life lesson is to never listen to your uncle wyatt . see , grandad is super rich , and always puts family first . wyatt : fine . yes , i 'm engaged to sally . kelly : [ babbles ] wyatt : yeah , i know , we 're coming over here . but if you have nothing nice to say about it , i do n't want to hear it . ridge : i did n't say a word . what are you talking about ? wyatt : i know you , and you never liked her . right ? bill : well , what do you want from me ? she took a shot at me with my own gun , in my office . wyatt : at skye , at your skyscraper . bill : same difference . wyatt : it was n't even near you . bill : all right , listen . i did n't come here to criticize you , wyatt . wyatt : that 's a first . bill : i came here to ... to hear you out . i want to know how you really feel about sally . hope : look , i just explained how liam and i can provide a loving , stable home for douglas , and that by signing those papers , thomas is doing what 's best for his son , and in some ways , making up for the things that he 's done . brooke : do you really think he 'll do it ? hope : he said if he does , he -- he would do it because of me , because douglas needs a mother , and he does see how happy he is here with us . liam : yeah , i 'm still not psyched about you two being alone together . brooke : desperate times , i are terrified that thomas is gon na swoop in and take douglas back . so we need to make sure that douglas is safe and secure , and as far away from thomas as possible . thomas : they want to take douglas permanently . it 's all right there . ridge : you ca n't sign this . thomas : i do n't know . ridge : you do n't know what ? this boy 's your blood . thomas : he 's a good kid . maybe i do n't deserve him . ridge : how do you even say that you do n't deserve him ? this is your child . and you 've been going through some stuff , yes , but you 're getting better all the time . so you ca n't sign this . you ca n't sign your rights away . wyatt : it - it 's hard to explain , dad . sally and i have a connection that i do n't expect you to understand . bill : no , i get it . you let her control you . but do you have to marry her , wyatt ? wyatt : oh , god . bill : ca n't you just string her along for a couple of years like a normal kid ? wyatt : i 'm not a kid . if you had n't noticed , i 've been wearing ties to the office lately , thank you . bill : i have noticed , and i 've been very impressed . except that it 's a clip- on , so you do n't get a raise . wyatt : [ sighs ] dad , sally and i are ready to take our relationship to the next level . there is no reason to wait . bill : your mommy would disagree . wyatt : my what ? mom ? what does she have to do with this ? bill : quinn paid me a visit . wyatt : [ chuckles ] how fun for you . bill : she wanted me to see if i could talk you out of going forward with this engagement . wyatt : god . she likes sally even less than you do . bill : uh ... i think sally is a mixed bag , that 's for sure . but this is n't about my feelings . wyatt : thank you . that 's my point exactly . bill : having said that , before you move any further with sally , we need to talk about the other woman in your life . we need to talk about flo . hope : the sooner we get thomas away from douglas , the better . brooke : [ sighs ] thomas is in no condition to raise a child . liam : obviously we all want to keep douglas safe , but there are plenty of ways to do that . brooke : it 's the only solution , liam . hope : yeah , thomas could come in here at any moment and take douglas anywhere and we may never see him again . brooke : he could do far worse things than just take him away . god knows what he 's capable of . liam : hey , trust me , i am not defending thomas , okay ? but -- but this is about our concern for douglas , right ? like , what 's best for him ? i mean , we -- we 've taken him into our family , we 've taken care of him during an extremely difficult time in his life . you have filled a hole in his heart ever since caroline died . you even let him call you mommy , and that 's been good , right ? that 's -- that has helped him cope . but to take on all parental rights forever to make him a permanent part of our family ? i 'm just -- i 'm thinking long - term , here . i - i do n't know if that 's the solution . brooke : yes , it is the solution ! douglas deserves a better father than thomas could ever be . ridge : thomas , you ca n't sign these papers , under any circumstances . thomas : keeping beth from hope , it was wrong , and i , like -- i feel like i owe her . ridge : you do n't owe her your child . thomas : i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i -- i -- i still love hope , okay , and i do n't know -- i do n't know if i 'll ever get over her . i mean , being alone with her for the first time in a long time , it -- she was -- she was being gentle , and the way that she was looking at me -- ridge : she was gentle , and -- okay . this is your son . this is my grandson . you ca n't just give him away . thomas : okay , well , what am i supposed to do ? i 'm freaking out , all right ? i 'm -- i 'm confused , i -- my head 's spinning , i -- ridge : [ softly ] okay . all right . hey . you 've been through a lot . but everything 's getting better . and hope and liam , they were looking after the boy , but that 's done now . he 's coming back to you . it does n't matter what papers hope drew up . she 's not getting the kid . thomas : it was n't hope . ridge : it was liam ? liam 's behind this ? thomas : it was brooke . ridge : brooke did this ? thomas : she had her lawyer draw up the papers . ridge : my wife did this ? how -- how could she do this ? bill : look , wyatt , all jokes aside , marriage is a lifetime commitment . wyatt : oh , that 's good . did mom tell you to say that ? 'cause that 's ironic . bill : how about we just forget about your mother ? i 'm telling you it would be a good idea to take a step back . wyatt : no . no , sally and i have wasted enough time as is . and i want her to know without question that she is it for me . bill : so your relationship with flo , reuniting with your high school sweetheart , that was just a waste of time ? wyatt : n - no , that 's not -- that 's not what i said . bill : because i know how hard it was for you to end it with her . wyatt : things did n't work out the way that we planned . we both kinda moved on , dad . bill : i do n't think you moved on , wyatt . either one of you . wyatt : what do you -- what is this ? what are -- what are you doing right now ? this -- this right here . i - i know how much you hate flo a - and what she did to liam and hope -- you made that very clear and i do n't want to be a part of the lies or the betrayal either . bill : i do have issues with flo and what she did with that lowlife loser buckingham . but i do n't have the history with her that you do . and i ca n't deny what she did to save katie 's life . donating her kidney , making that kind of sacrifice is not something everyone would do . uh , even if it was about getting back in the family 's good graces and -- and yours . if i 'm feeling this way , wyatt , i can only imagine how incredibly conflicted you are . and i can see that i 'm right . hope : i - i thought you were on board with this . liam : i - i - i am on -- i am on board with doing whatever 's best for douglas , okay ? i 'm just not sure that adoption is that . we 're gon na look -- we 're gon na look after him . we 're gon na take care of him , but , you know , we 've got beth , i 've got kelly , too . they 're always gon na come first for me . i mean , do you think that 's fair to douglas ? i - i do n't know . hope : liam ... we have enough love and resources for all of them . liam : i - i know , i know , but that -- that does n't mean that we have to permanently adopt douglas . there are so many other custody options . i mean , there 's visitation laws , right , that protect him . he 's got grandparents . he 's got other family that would happily take him . i mean , there are so many possibilities here that still acknowledge the fact that douglas is a child who loves his dad , you know ? hope : i can not turn my back on him . i made a promise to that little boy to keep him safe . i mean , liam , he -- he 's our little hero ! liam : i -- hope : remember , he gave us back our beth ! liam : i promise you , i have not forgotten that , and nothing i 'm saying right now entails us turning our back on douglas . liam : i know you do n't trust thomas . you 're one of the kindest , most forgiving men that i know , and i hear the way you talk about thomas . you think i 'm gon na go and let douglas live with him ? liam : i - i - i - i hear you . [ chuckles ] i hear you . hope : so ... liam : listen , i know what it 's like to grow up without a dad . okay ? and when i finally met mine , i understood . like , i really understood why my mom kept me from him all those years . but my dad changed . he worked really hard , and he changed . now thomas is -- thomas is despicable and totally untrustworthy , but let 's say he gets the help he needs . well , if we 've permanently adopted douglas , and -- and completely cancelled any chance that thomas has to be the father douglas deserves , how -- i 'm not sure that is what 's in douglas 's best interest anymore . hope : after everything that thomas has done , i can not in good conscience let him have a legal right to douglas . liam , please . please , just ... trust me . liam : [ groans ] hope : trust me , it 's going to work out , okay ? we 've already been living it . we 're just making it official . thomas : brooke hates me . she thinks i would hurt my son . i mean , i would never do that . that 's not who i am . ridge : no , i know -- i know that . i know . and i was n't there for you , but i 'm here for you now . thomas : well , look , i need your guidance , dad . i need your help . i mean , i - i know i could 've been a better father . i could 've been more patient . but ... [ sighs ] look , caroline 's death had left me in a fog . a - a - and i had feelings for hope , and i wanted -- i wanted a mother for my child . ridge : i know , son . thomas : dad , it was my first inclination to tell everyone , and then i saw steffy with liam and phoebe , and i could n't rip that little girl away , and destroy my sister 's life . and i know , keeping the secret , that was a terrible decision . you helped me see that . thank you so much for making me a priority , dad . ridge : i told you , i 'm not gon na turn my back on you . thomas : we need to be together , you , me , and douglas . three generations of forrester men . ridge : yeah . we got ta help each other . let 's go . thomas : where are we going ? ridge : to get your son back . what patients do n't realize is what they eat wyatt : so you 're pulling for flo now ? bill : pulling for you to use your head . wyatt : meaning what ? bill : well , if i have the timeline right , you proposed to sally before you knew that flo had donated her kidney . wyatt : so ? bill : well , i 'm just saying , you 're a loyal guy , wyatt . you 're a man of your word , and that 's very noble . but you did n't have the facts when you spontaneously proposed to sally . from what your mother said , there was n't even a ring involved . wyatt : oh , my god . bill : now , now listen ... what flo did to your brother was unforgivable . but given your history , and the selfless act she did saving katie 's life , i could see where that would throw you for a loop . wyatt : yeah . yeah . what she did was ... you know . it -- it was actually , uh ... i mean , that was -- that was , uh , the flo that i remember . bill : the flo you fell in love with . i can see you still care about her , wyatt . [ baby fussing over monitor ] and somebody needs a diaper change . not you . wyatt : ha ha ha ha . bill : go take care of your niece . wyatt ... you 're a good man . and as your dad ... [ sighs ] i do n't want to see you blinded by your commitment . i 'm not saying you should go back to flo . i 'm just saying that you should be very clear about what you want . brooke : thomas used douglas to prey on hope . he used his own son as a bargaining tool . liam : trust me , i know . hope : i mean , you see how scared he is of him . brooke : liam , this is not up for debate . we have to do everything we can to keep thomas away from douglas . [ door opening ] ridge . what is he doing here ? i hope this means you listened to hope and you 're gon na do what 's best for douglas . ridge : did you ambush my son with adoption papers ? brooke : i did it for douglas . hope : please , just -- just sign them . i mean , you see how happy he is -- ridge : stop . just stop . it 's not happening . that little boy needs to be with his father . you ca n't just steal a kid . hope : are you really gon na say that to me ? we are just trying to protect him . ridge : he does n't need & protection . what are you doing ? we had this conversation . i was gon na step out , help heal my family , help him get back on his feet . and you have papers drawn up behind my back ? what is that ? brooke : you knew i was looking into custody options . ridge : it was a ridiculous idea then , it 's ridiculous now . brooke : douglas is thriving here with hope and liam . this is his home now . this is his family . ridge : he has a family ! why are you doing this ? you just trying to get back at thomas ? thomas : yeah , is that what this is about ? is it about punishing me , making me pay with my own kid ? hope : deep down , thomas , i think you know that you ca n't provide him with what he needs . he 's better off here with us . ridge : he 's better off with his dad , his flesh and blood . not you , and not you . but if you guys want to help , then do something . take a step back . let him get back on his feet , and raise his kid the way he wants to . if you want to be pissed off for the rest of your life , then do that . but you will not threaten my son with legal papers , ever . no one is taking douglas away . no one . | ridge dismisses the models and invites thomas in to go over more designs . thomas says he has had no more time as brooke is trying to take douglas away from him . brooke asks hope if thomas signed the papers . she says no , but he will . he sees how happy douglas is with them . brooke is still afraid he will swoop in and take douglas . bill visits wyatt who is babysitting kelly . bill wants to hold his granddaughter as wyatt asks how katie is . wyatt takes kelly and says it is time for a nap .. no not bill 's . bill says he is super rich and is always right . wyatt does not want to hear anything bad about sally . bill says he wo n't . he will hear him out and find how he really feels about sally . wyatt tells bill that it is a relationship he will not understand . they have taken it to the next level so there is no need to wait . he is aghast when he hears that quinn has talked to bill about it . bill says before he moves on permanently with sally they need to talk about the other woman in his life flo . liam throws his two cents in and says he is not defending thomas and is just interested in what is good for douglas . they have taken care of him in a very difficult time of his life and that has helped him . but to take on long- term rights he is not sure that is the solution . brooke still maintains it is the only solution . ridge is livid that hope is trying to adopt douglas and even had papers drawn up . he is even more upset when he finds out brooke is behind it all . ridge says this is thomas 's son ; he can not give up his parental rights . bill tells wyatt that with all jokes aside that marriage is a lifetime commitment . he realizes things did not work out with flo but he thinks they never got over each other . wyatt says flo betrayed the forrester 's and he feels that too . bill says he knows but he can not overlook that she did save katie 's life . he knows how he feels so he can only imagine how conflicted wyatt is . hope tells liam that she thought he was on board with this adoption . she says they have enough love and resources . he says he knows but there are other possibilities with his remaining family that they do not have to do this . she claims she made a promise to douglas and she knows he does not trust thomas but he is for this now , so give him time . liam says he grew up without a father and years later it has worked out but this is so permanent . hope asks liam to trust her . she can not in good consciousness give thomas any legal rights to his son , now or in the future . |
ridge : i 'm sorry , mother . i just ca n't accept it -- amber moving in here with you and dad . i do n't trust her . stephanie : well , neither do i . that 's the whole point , is n't it ? i mean , what better place to keep an eye on her than here ? thomas : i 'm worried about you crashing here with my grandmother . i do n't trust her . amber : thomas , your grandma is an amazing person . and -- and i get a chance to hang out with your family and to prove to them that i 've changed . thomas : well , do n't change too much . amber : mm . mm , you know , this probably is n't what your grandma meant when by making myself at home . you probably should go . [ thomas sighs ] thomas : just promise me you 'll be careful . amber : that 's so sweet of you to worry about me . but you do n't need to . trust me . you are going to be so glad that we did this . [ amber giggles ] come on . i 'll take you to your car . stephanie : i know i 'm right about having amber here . trust me . you 're going to thank me for doing this . sally : you know , bucky , i have heard of minimalism , but this is ridiculous . clarke : well , it 's tough to come up with something brilliant when i have no idea what thorne wants . felicia : well , we know what he does n't want -- any of the designs we showed him earlier . he hated them . darla : he did n't hate them . he thought they were really close . what you guys have to remember is he 's trying to compete with forrester creations . clarke : where is thorne , anyway ? we could use some direction around here . darla : he 's still in there with eric . felicia : still ? that 's -- that 's not good . sally : come on , now . we do n't know that for sure . maybe they 're having some kind of breakthrough . felicia : sally , my father was very angry . darla : and thorne had so much resentment still built up . felicia : i mean , it 's just so frustrating , because they love each other . darla : i know . felicia : you know , i mean -- they just ca n't get past the hurt . kind of reminds me of my mother and i . sally : well , all right . i mean , that should give you hope . you and your mom are very simpatico , now , right ? felicia : well , we 're doing better . it 's -- it has n't been easy , though . sally : of course not . it 's never easy admitting your mistakes . but eric forrester is no coward , and he is no quitter . and whatever his faults , he loves his family . and he would never do anything to hurt 'em . eric : i do n't like hearing this , thorne . i do n't like hearing this at all . thorne : i know you do n't . and i 've tried for a very long time not to say it , dad , but it 's killing me -- living down to your low expectations . eric : thorne , i do n't see it that way . i do n't see it that way at all . i 've always tried to be supportive . thorne : yes , by cutting me slack and not pushing me , dad . you did n't push me . `` give the kid a break . he 's never gon na be ridge . `` eric : i did n't want you to be ridge . i love you , thorne . thorne : yeah . but that 's the thing , dad . if anybody else said they -- that i was n't good enough , i was n't smart enough , or tough enough , i would n't listen to 'em . i would n't care . but you -- you 're my father . and i 'd listen to you , dad . i took those messages in , and i made 'em a part of my life . i 'm asking you -- i 'm asking you to believe in me , dad . to believe in me . do n't ask me to quit , because i can fail , okay ? do n't . just believe in me . eric : you 've got one hell of a mountain to climb . thorne : i think i can do it . eric : all right . you 'll get your shot . but i 'm not going to cut you any slack . gon na be no `` a `` for effort , here . you 're gon na succeed or fail all on your own merit . thorne : would n't have it any other way . eric : no special favors . no bending the rules . thorne : absolutely not . all i want is an even playing field . eric : well , either you 've got a lot of guts , or you 're crazy as hell . thorne : yeah . is n't that what they told you when you first started out ? eric : yeah . yeah , they did . okay . good luck . thorne : good luck to you . you 're gon na need it . ridge : even with her staying here , we 're still not gon na know where they are or what they 're doing . stephanie : i think the scare at the doctor 's office today threw more cold water on their sex life than you and i ever could . ridge : but how could it even get this far ? i mean , did n't they use protection ? obviously , she could conceive . does n't she know the difference ? stephanie : well , she got it all mixed up , between conceiving and carrying to full term . that 's not the point . we ca n't put any more pressure on tom , or he 'll take off with her . and that 's not what you want . ridge : so you think we need to take a different tact , then ? stephanie : well , i think we have to take this opportunity to try to get them to see that this is a mistake for both of them . honey , tom is a wonderful boy , but he 's a boy . amber needs an adult . ridge : how long is it gon na take him to realize the poison this woman is peddling ? [ knock at door ] samantha : eric ? eric : sam , hi . samantha : i knocked , but you did n't hear me . eric : well , i was kind of lost in thought here . samantha : oh , well , i do n't want to interrupt your flow . eric : no , no , it 's all right . come in , come in , come in . it 's not this i was concentrating on , really . i just came from a visit -- a confrontation really -- with thorne . samantha : things have been kind of tense between the two of you lately , huh ? eric : mm - hmm . and he accused me of not believing in him , not having any faith in him . samantha : well , is there any truth in that ? eric : yeah . but there does n't seem to be much i can do about it anymore . and now he 's over there at spectra trying to , well , heal his own wounds . samantha : by taking you on ? proving you wrong ? eric : yeah , yeah . samantha : but you do n't think he can do it . eric : oh , sam , he 's a businessman . he 's a very good businessman . but this business is about design , and he 's not a designer . and i suppose he 's right . i suppose that 's my fault . and i should have given him the same training and the same opportunities that i gave to ridge , and that 's just -- it 's too late for that now . samantha : well , you did train felicia and clarke and amber -- his dream team . eric : yeah , i did . but for thorne to expect them to compete with ridge -- i mean , they 're just not like him . they do n't have that same clarity of vision that he has . they 're not gon na be able to do it . i mean , they need guidance . they need mentoring . samantha : which is going to have to come from thorne . eric : yes . look , i want him to do well . can you believe it ? he 's the competition , and i want him to succeed . it 's just -- i do n't know . i just -- i would love to have him prove me wrong . i just do n't -- samantha : you do n't see it happening . eric : sam , he has everything riding on this . if he fails , what 's that going to do to him ? darla : hey . thorne : hey . darla : so -- what happened ? thorne : we talked . darla : yeah . what did you tell him ? thorne : everything . darla : oh , baby . baby . oh . thorne : everything that i 've wanted to say to him for the last 20 years . you know , how he did n't support me , how he never had any real faith in me . darla : what did he say ? thorne : he apologized . darla : really ? thorne : mm - hmm . darla : do you think he really meant it ? thorne : yeah , i do . of course , he still does n't think i can pull this off . darla : well , he 's wrong , you know . thorne : yes , but you know what ? there 's nothing wrong with that . it 's okay . he 's only human . you know , when you 're a kid , you think your dad has all the answers . i thought he knew me better than i knew myself , that he was a better judge of who i was and what i could do . and he was wrong . he had blinders on . and he still does . but you know what ? that does n't make him a bad man . and it does n't mean that he does n't love me . he does , in his own way . it just means that he has flaws like everyone else . darla : wow . it sounds like you 've forgiven him . thorne : i have . but that does n't mean that i agree with him . darla : good . because we are going to rip those blinders right off of his eyes and show him exactly what you are capable of . thorne : you make me believe i could do anything . darla : oh , you can . and do n't you let anybody tell you anything different . [ door slams ] stephanie : amber . amber : sorry . did i interrupt ? stephanie : no , i was telling ridge that you 're going to move back in here with me . amber : oh , i wish i would have been here for that . i would have loved to seen the look on your face . stephanie : amber , let 's try and be adults about this . ridge : no , mother , this is n't going to work . now that we know she was trying to trap my son . amber : okay . that is not true . i did n't even know i could get pregnant . ridge : oh , but just in case the doctors were wrong , who better to father your little miracle than -- my son maybe ? amber : okay , whatever you may think , this is n't a plot or a plan . i did n't plan to fall in love with thomas , or for him to fall in love with me . it just happened , and it has nothing to do with trying to get back into your little family . ridge : no , of course not . but , gee , here you are , living in mother 's house again . stephanie : oh , ridge , please . can we just try and get along ? ridge : no , mother , forget it . tell her to get the hell out of here now . eric : until i talked to thorne today , i have to say , i did n't realize how much it meant to him for spectra to be a success , and for felicia , too . samantha : and you think they 're heading for massive disappointment . eric : thorne would say i 'm being unfair , but , in fact , i think i 'm being very realistic . samantha : you sound like hector talking about caitlin . i think it 's something all parents go through . you want to stop your kids from taking any risks , from taking chances . you want to protect them from getting hurt , and you want to protect yourself from having to watch them get hurt . and -- well , eric , it 's not going to kill him if he fails . it will teach him . maybe he 's not meant to be in this business . or maybe he 'll come back to forrester . or maybe he 'll learn that no matter what , you 're there for him , win or lose . and maybe -- just maybe -- he might teach you a thing or two . sally : what is thorne looking at so intensely ? those designs are n't all of a sudden gon na turn brilliant and start tap - dancing off the page like they do in cartoons . [ darla chuckles ] darla : well , he has to make them work , especially after what happened with his dad . felicia : it was that bad , huh ? darla : no . no , no , no . actually , they made some progress . i think thorne still has something to prove . sally : what do you say ? should i pull in my shingle and start selling muumuus door - to - door or what ? thorne : shh . hang on , people . i think i 've got something here . stephanie : you know , you 're being unreasonable about this . thomas is 18 . he can date whoever he wishes . i have my doubts about this relationship , you know that . but i 'd rather have you here and to have the whole thing in the open , so that you can at least find out whether it 's real or not . amber : you do n't know what this means to me , stephanie . thank you . i wo n't let you down . i swear .

liam : you are my wife , and i need you tell me the truth now . did you know that hope was in aspen looking for me ? did you know that she was in that gondola , trapped , watching us getting married on that mountain ? did you have anything to do with that ? [ scene_break ] brooke : it 's just too coincidental . hope is on her way to meet liam , and suddenly , her gondola malfunctions ? and then steffy is up there convincing liam to marry her ? ridge : how could she make a gondola break down ? brooke : i do n't know . i think we should ask that question to steffy 's father- in - law . ridge : well , i think you have to be careful here . brooke : of what ? ( sighs ) ridge : because you 're a spinning conspiracy theory , encouraging hope do you really want to do that to her ? liam and steffy are married now . they 're both very much in love . brooke : liam was manipulated . ridge : well that would make him a fool , and i do n't think he is . liam and steffy have always been close he saved her life , for god 's sakes . brooke : ( sighs ) look , i know you do n't want to hear this , but steffy is all about seduction , so , of course , liam and steffy were close . she has that effect on men . ( door opens ) taylor : well , we could say the same thing about you , brooke . brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] taylor : i was looking for our daughter . do you know where she is ? ridge : well , she may be in my office . brooke : with liam and hope . taylor : all right . what 's going on ? brooke : i suspect the three of them are sorting things out . taylor : ( scoffs ) oh , please tell me that you did not encourage that . brooke : mmm , liam wanted some answers , too . taylor : oh , so you spoke to liam . brooke : well , of course , i did . he did n't even know that hope went to aspen to find him , because somebody arranged for him not to know . ridge : brooke feels it was too impulsive for hope breaking of the engagement and liam immediately marrying steffy . taylor : well , that 's for them to determine , not us . brooke : and that 's what they 're doing right now . i 'm pretty sure that liam and steffy wo n't be married for very much longer . taylor : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] steffy : you ca n't let it go , can you , hope ? hope : no , i just want the truth , steffy . steffy : no , you do n't . you do n't want the truth . you want confirmation of a theory that your mom cooked up and fed to you . liam : so does that mean you did n't have anything to do with what happened to hope on the gondola ? steffy : liam , when we flew to aspen , i had no idea hope was following us . i thought we were just going on a - a romantic adventure . hope was n't even a - a passing thought to me . do you remember when we got there ? we went to this beautiful house by the river . it was like magic . do you remember us sitting on the rock just staring at the water ? did it ever seem to you like i was worried about hope ? hope : but at some point , you found out i was there , did n't you ? steffy : okay , did you -- did you call me ? did you leave a message ? how would i know this , and why would even care ? no , i was with the man that i love . we were together , and that 's all that mattered to me . hope , i - i really think you need to ask yourself , `` why are you doing this to us ? `` this is n't fair to liam , and it certainly is not fair to me . hope : ( scoffs ) yeah , fair . steffy , did you plan on getting married when you went to aspen ? steffy : oh , my god , i was n't making any plans . i was enjoying the moment , and so was liam . look , i - i know this hurts you , but we were falling in love . liam : and then i told you i wanted to go to the top of the mountain , and you did n't want to go , so i went alone . i said you should go shopping or something . you did a lot more than go shopping , did n't you ? steffy : liam , i had the idea when i saw you standing in line at the gondola . i knew right then and there that i wanted to marry you . so i arranged for a minister to meet us up at the top of the mountain . hope : but he did n't go up there to get married , steffy . liam went up there to meet me , and somehow , you knew that . did n't you ? [ scene_break ] brooke : you will never convince me that steffy had no part in hope 's getting stuck in the gondola . ridge : come on , logan . brooke : why was it steffy who went to pick up liam that night , the night of the bachelor party , to bring him home ? why ? taylor : maybe hope was n't available . that was the issue between hope and liam . brooke : no , no , hope was at the house ready to surprise liam . she was moving in . taylor : oh , and i 'm sure you think steffy probably knew about that , too . brooke : i have no idea what she knew about it . i just know that she 's been interfering in their relationship for quite some time . i am certain of that . taylor : no , no , what you do n't understand is that steffy and liam have had a very close friendship . he saved her life . they 've been confidants . brooke : oh , i am sure they were more than confidants . ridge : brooke , one thing is clear here -- there 's something between steffy and liam . call it chemistry . call it friendship , whatever you want . but i 'm certain that those two have very real feelings between the two of them . [ scene_break ] hope : you were desperate . your relationship with liam was on the line , so you did whatever you could to keep me from getting to the top of ajax . steffy : so i stopped the gondola ? how in the world could i do that ? liam , ca n't you see how insane this is ? come on . hope : insane , yeah , it is . but that 's exactly what happened . steffy : okay , so i was on the top of the mountain while you were riding the gondola . hope , how could i cause that kind of malfunction while i was with liam ? ! hope : look , liam , i do n't know how she did it . steffy : ( scoffs ) hope : i have no idea , but do n't you find it incredibly strange that at the exact time and place that you were supposed to meet me , steffy shows up with a wedding dress , a minister , a witness , wedding rings and then the gondola stops so i ca n't get to the top ? steffy : oh , come on , hope . gondolas stop all the time . you 're a skier . you should know this . liam , this is a desperate act by a woman who broke your heart and then changed her mind when she realized you and i were engaged . look , i realize that you still care for hope , and i am -- i 'm trying to be reasonable and sensitive , but this is going too far . liam : okay , all right , okay . look , look ... steffy : ( sighs ) liam : i 'm not gon na lie to you . steffy : mm - hmm . liam : i did think that i was up on that mountain to meet hope . i did n't know why she wanted to see me , but after all that time , i figured i owed her that , and it was strange when you walked up . it surprised me . it surprised me even more when you said you wanted to get married right there on the spot . so i am asking you , as my wife , did you know anything about that ? that she was in aspen trying to meet me ? did you -- did you find out somehow ? and if you did -- look at me . is that why you were so insistent that we get married right away ? [ scene_break ] brooke : yes , steffy and liam are close , and they confided in each other . ridge , i 'm not attacking your daughter because she has a friendship with liam . i 'm just saying i have an issue with a woman going after a man who 's already engaged to another woman . taylor : well , is n't that what hope is doing right now ? except this time , he 's married . ridge : i do n't like any of this , but we 're talking about two women , both of them in love with the same man . one of them is gon na get hurt . regardless of what liam decides , i 'm gon na suffer , too . i love both of those girls very much . i hate what it is doing to them . but i am not gon na take sides . none of us should . brooke : well , okay . i mean , it 's out of our hands anyway . we 'll just let the chips fall where they may ... taylor : ( scoffs ) well ... brooke : and let the three of them work it out . taylor : oh , okay , well , it 's a little late for that . brooke : why ? because you think liam might choose my daughter over yours ? taylor : no , i -- i do n't think that 's going to happen . brooke : well , if it does , will you accept it ? taylor : will you , if he decides to stay with steffy ? brooke : if liam finds out everything that happened in aspen , i do n't think he 'll want to stay with steffy . and if he chooses to , then do n't think he was right for my daughter in the first place . so , yes , i will accept it . [ scene_break ] steffy : liam , what happened on that mountain was impulsive . that 's me . you -- know that . i did n't spend hour thinking about us getting married on top of a -- hope : steffy , you were thinking the whole time . from the second you found out that i was in aspen , you were scheming and manipulating . steffy : excuse me . you 've been manipulating liam the whole time ... hope : ( scoffs ) steffy : playing the virgin bride of hope for the future . liam , look at me . i would never , ever do something like that to you , and you know it . you waited too long for hope . her career was more important than you were . that 's why we got engaged right away . that is why i decided to marry you on top of that mountain . liam : so it had nothing to do with hope , keeping me away from her ? steffy : no . liam : and you had no idea that hope was in aspen looking for me ? steffy : no . liam : and you did not go up that mountain so you could get to me before she did ? steffy : ( sighs ) no . liam : and you had nothing to do with that gondola getting stuck . is that right ? steffy : no . hope : how can you do that ? how can you lie so blatantly to your own husband ? steffy : liam means everything to me . and i 'm gon na give him everything that you would n't . i 'm gon na be a lover , a friend . he 's gon na have true companionship . he will never , ever question my priorities . he will always be first with me , hope . liam , everything i 've done is because i love you . you will always , always be number one in my life .

( sighs ) ( sighs ) i made it bad when i overreacted to you and steffy kissing . but , liam , you made it worse . liam : yeah . i never should have kissed steffy in the first place . hope : i will take my fair share of the blame . i should have been straight with you . i should have told you that i was ready to move in and ready to make love to you . i - i 'll admit that i should n't have taken my ring off , and -- and refused to speak to you . and i should n't have run out of your house like a scared little girl . liam : hey . we 're talking now . hope : i did some really immature , foolish things i made some mistakes the past few days , but , liam , what you did ... i took off my ring , and then you gave it to steffy , and then the very next day , you committed your life to her on top of a mountain , and , liam , that takes stupidity to a whole new level . liam : hope , i do n't ... i do n't think i 'll ever be able to explain it to you . hope : that wedding happened . those vows were said , and i - i do n't know how you did it , liam , but somehow , you did . and maybe it 's a flaw in my character , but i respect marriage . i respect wedding vows and my body and my abstinence , and you may think i 'm a fool for being old - fashioned ... liam : no . hope : but i ca n't change who i am . liam : i do n't want you to change who you are . hope : you made a choice , liam . and as much as it hurts me , i will respect it . i may never love another man as much as i 've loved you , but you 're married to steffy now . your life is with her . so good - bye , liam . and good luck . ( elevator bell dings ) hope : ( sobs ) ( sobs ) | as seriously as he is capable , liam asks steffy if she knew hope was in aspen and trapped in the gondola so she could not get to him on the mountain top he 'd like to know if steffy had anything to do with that . she sidesteps the question and reminds liam that they flew to aspen for a romantic getaway . she had no reason to believe that hope would follow them there since no one but bill knew that is where they were headed . she turns to hope and says she was with the man she loved , and that is all that mattered . they were enjoying the moment and falling in love . so this questioning is not fair to either of them . she scoffs at the idea that she could be at the top of the mountain and yet make the gondola stop . she tells liam that she is trying to be reasonable here , but hope is taking this too far in making her responsible for what happened . ridge tells brooke that he does n't believe her conspiracy theory that steffy caused the gondola to stop . that would mean that liam was a fool and he does not believe that is the case . she retorts that it is all about steffy and her seduction . she has this affect on men and ridge needs to realize that . despite the door being closed , taylor interrupts and is dismayed that brooke talked to liam and encouraged hope to talk to him and now she finds out that steffy is in the meeting too . ridge repeats again that he does n't like this . both of his daughters is in love with the same man , and one of them is going to be hurt . he hates what this is doing to them , and he is not going to take sides . brooke says okay , they will just let the chips fall where they may and let the three of them work this out . |

we 're all trying to do what 's best for douglas . so while we 're figuring this out , why on earth would he not stay here where he 's safe and comfortable ? for god 's sake , the kid 's got school in the morning . ridge : his dad can take him to school . liam : oh , come on . hope : i am the one who takes douglas to and from school . i pack his lunch every day . i 'm the one that the teachers know , that asks douglas how he 's -- ridge : i 'm sorry . can we take -- just take a breath here ? if thomas needs you , he can call you . you guys can go together . but you , you are not the parent . thomas is . hope : but he calls me mommy hope for a reason , and that 's because i have been a mother to him . i have been the adult that stepped up for him after caroline died , not the one who went off the rails and kept my own daughter from me . and now you want to take away douglas , too . after he finally has some peace and i do , too , you want to take that away from us ? you 're really gon na make me go through the pain of losing a child again ? after everything you 've already put me through ? all of the lies ... please do n't do that . hahahahahaha . hahaha . ridge : i 'm sorry , hope . but you need to understand that douglas is not your child . brooke : not biologically , but she has been functioning as his mother . hope : and liam like a father . we have been providing a home for him here . we 've been raising him . you ca n't just storm in here and rip him away from us . ridge : just so i understand , you 're saying that taking beth out of the only home she 's ever known was a mistake ? brooke : oh , my ... hope : that is not fair . that is an entirely different circumstance . ridge : how is it different ? you walked into steffy 's house , you claimed what was yours , and you walked out . i did n't like that . steffy did n't like that . but you had every right to do that . thomas : i am sorry . i never wanted to hurt you . i still do n't want to hurt you . hope : you are always going to be a father to him , thomas . i just think that he should be in my care . so please just let me do that . just let me be a mother to him . thomas : i wanted that . i wanted that to be with me , not instead of me . now look , he 's my son , and i miss him . and douglas misses me . brooke : you are crashing at your friend 's apartment . how is that a good environment ? thomas : you wo n't let me in this house . i mean -- ridge : thomas , thomas , stop . i talked to dad . i talked to quinn . they 're gon na stay there for a while , and i 'm gon na move in with them , too . brooke : [ scoffs ] ridge : it 's gon na be okay . it 's gon na be the forrester men , four generations under one roof . [ phone buzzes ] and try and heal . hope : um ... liam : what is it ? hope : it 's , uh , andy 's mom . she 's dropping douglas off soon . thomas : where ? down at the cabin ? hope : thomas , please don't . brooke : no , you 're not gon na do this . thomas : whoa ! remember the last time you pushed me ? liam : oh , god . brooke : you can still fix this , ridge . you can do right by your grandson . thomas is dangerous , and you know that . do n't let him do this . do n't let him walk out of this house with douglas . donna : the thing is this does n't just affect hope and thomas . i mean , whatever happens will have a huge impact on ridge and brooke , too . eric : yeah . they 're both trying to do what 's best for their own child . donna : it 's gon na cause tension . eric : they 've survived a lot over the years . i just hope this wo n't be too much . brooke : oh , wow , this is , uh , this is beyond cruel . ridge : this is what douglas needs . think about it . he 's gon na be with his father . he 's gon na be with me , his great - grandfather . it 's gon na be all the forresters . it 's where he belongs . brooke : all the forresters . yeah , as opposed to the logans , right ? ridge , i 'm your wife . i am a forrester . but you do n't see me that way , do you ? no , you don't . thomas and douglas are your family , but not me and hope ? ridge : how -- how are you getting that ? i did n't say any of this . brooke : yes . you are saying that . i can see it in your eyes . this is exactly the way stephanie used to look at me . go ahead . might as well say it . no slut from the valley is worthy of raising a forrester . thomas : right , so what did you and andy do ? hmm ? douglas : his mom took us to the arcade together . thomas : oh , fun . wow . well , i should call her and thank her . and maybe i can take you and andy there next week , make it up . douglas : you have her phone number ? thomas : well , i can get it from hope . i got some news , actually . uh , we 're gon na live together again . douglas : you 're coming back ? thomas : well , actually , you 're gon na come live with me . douglas : but i thought this was supposed to be my home now . thomas : yeah . well , look , liam and hope have been doing a great job taking care of you , but it 's time for you to come live with me , okay ? and i know that you might feel like you ca n't trust me , but i 'm gon na prove to you that you can . i missed you so much . douglas : i 've missed you , too , daddy . but you 're not mad at me ? thomas : no . no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not mad at you . i was mad at myself for keeping that secret . it was wrong , and you helped me realize that i should be better , and i will be better . i 'm going to be the daddy that you need me to be . ok everyone ! ridge : how can you say that ? this is not about forrester versus logan . this is about what douglas needs . hope : if you really cared about what he needs , you 'd let him stay here where he wants to be . ridge , you know thomas is n't ready for this . ridge : thomas is n't ready what ? he 's been raising this kid for years , and now , all of a sudden , you come in , a couple of months , and you 're an expert ? liam : all right , all right , all right . i know you 're -- you 're upset , and you 're frustrated , and your son messed up , and you 're trying to put him on the path to redemption , but forcing him back into douglas ' life is not gon na do that . ridge : so what are you suggesting , a long transition ? liam : i do n't know . ridge : that 's not good for the kid . he needs to be with his father now . brooke : if you let thomas walk out of here with douglas , i swear i 'll ... ridge : you swear you 'll what ? brooke : ridge , i have tried to be patient , and i 've tried to be understanding ever since you took your son 's side in all of this . and you promised me that you were gon na get him the help that he needs . but you have n't done that . instead , you 've just given him whatever the hell he wants . he needs some serious help . thomas is sick . he is a sick man , and he should n't be anywhere near douglas . and you are jeopardizing douglas ' safety , ridge , and i will not allow that . ridge : will not allow it ? you do n't get to decide where that boy lives . brooke : so that 's it . that 's where we stand . damn it , ridge , you 're gon na allow your son to take another child away from my daughter ? you 're gon na allow that ? well , go ahead . why do n't you just take this , too ? ridge : what are you doing ? brooke : you are so blinded . you are being so manipulated by your son , and you ca n't even see that i 'm trying to protect this family . ridge : and taking your ring off ? that 's gon na protect our family ? it 's gon na protect us ? brooke : you promised to love and to cherish me above all else , but you can't . you 're not capable . ridge : because i -- i wo n't allow your daughter to steal my grandson ? maybe you 're not capable . you 're not capable of forgiveness . thomas made a mistake . you 've made mistakes . i 've made mistakes , but we 're still here . thomas is not gon na lose his kid over this . brooke : and you want to lose our marriage over this ? thomas : yeah . go ahead . hey , uh , douglas wanted to say goodbye . douglas : daddy says i have to go now , but will you still be my mommy ? hope : of course i will . i hope you 'll always think of me that way . douglas : i did n't do anything wrong , did i ? hope : what do you mean ? douglas : to make you want me to go . hope : no . not at all . i wish you could stay here . douglas : me , too . but i miss my daddy . he says he wants me now . ridge : you 'll see a lot of hope . you can visit whenever you want . douglas : i love you . hope : i love you , too , douglas . all right . [ chuckles ] thomas : okay , bud , uh , we better get going , huh ? i 'll , uh , i 'll be back later for the rest of his stuff . yeah . hope : god ... liam : i 'm so sorry . i am so sorry . hope : i ca n't believe this is happening . ridge : it 's his son , hope . hope : the son that he used , the son that he abandoned ! ridge : he did n't abandon him . hope : he was scared to death of his father . he was confused and afraid , and i know that you have all seen the change in him these past few weeks when he 's been under my care . he 's happy now . he 's healthy . he 's no longer having nightmares . and now all that progress , all that growth is just gon na be thrown out the window . is that what you want , ridge ? i swear -- swear if thomas does anything to put that boy in harm 's way ... ridge : he 's not gon na do that . he 's not gon na ... brooke : you better make sure of it . hope : will you please just look after him ? ridge , please promise me that you will just look after him . ridge : i will . of course i will . hope : please ...

[ sighs ] what lips do you want ? brooke : there 's more . ridge kissed me . ridge : bill owns part of forrester . i need those shares to get quinn out of the company . r.j. : okay , but what 's that have to do with mom ? ridge : the shares are gon na be a wedding present for her . r.j. : you 're not gon na stop the wedding because of a couple shares of forrester creations ? ridge : we need to get quinn out of here . she 's gon na destroy this company , everything i worked for , everything i want for you . r.j. : yeah , but what about mom ? ridge : [ sighs ] we 'll be together again . r.j. : how ? ridge : it 's bill spencer , r.j . he does stupid things . he 's gon na say something stupid , do something stupid , and she 's gon na leave . r.j. : this is crazy , all right ? you 're leaving this up to a `` what if `` ? how could you let her be his wife for even one day ? bill : reverend , i want you to meet my son and best man , wyatt . wyatt : it 's great to have you . reverend brown : my pleasure . bill : my assistant alison , who , of course , you 've spoken to on the phone . reverend brown : hey , alison . it 's nice to finally put a face to that voice . alison : lovely to see you . bill : and my best friend , justin . justin : yes , sir . i 'll be handling all the paperwork . reverend brown : hey , justin . bill : ah , who is also my attorney . reverend brown : well , it seems you have everything well taken care of . justin : yes , sir . bill : well , this wedding has been a long time coming , so i did n't want to leave anything to chance . alison : it 's gon na be a wonderful ceremony . wyatt : yeah , we 're all very excited about it . justin : no more than this guy . reverend brown : and the bride . justin : oh , yes . reverend brown : has she arrived ? bill : oh , yeah . she 's , uh , she 's upstairs getting ready . brooke : i 've told you everything , and i 've got to get ready . we 've got to do my hair and get dressed . donna : but none of this makes sense . i ... i do n't understand . he -- he kisses you , yet he expects you to marry bill , get the shares , and then leave him ? brooke : i told him that 's not happening . he 's hoping i 'm gon na have a change of heart . donna : i ca n't believe ridge . brooke : i know . i know . it 's crazy . but if you saw the hold that quinn has on eric ... donna : do n't even get me started on that fiasco . brooke : that 's why ridge is acting this way . everything is heightened because of quinn and how r.j. 's back in town and all these residual feelings are coming up because i 'm getting married today . [ sighs ] donna : but you do n't have those feelings for him , right ? brooke : i love bill . donna : good . god . how many times has ridge done this ? swooped in at the last minute to throw your life into chaos . you ca n't let him do this to you again . brooke : i know . ridge : r.j. , i 'm talking to you , because i know you 're mature enough to understand . r.j. : okay , but it does n't make sense . ridge : it does n't make sense to me , either . but that 's the situation we 're in . r.j. : okay , then change it ! i mean , go over to her ! ridge : it 's not that simple . we need the shares . r.j. : dad , what type of person has a plan like this ? ridge : this is about our company ! it 's about our future , son ! r.j. : it 's about our family . we could have been together again , and you 're just gon na throw that away ? ridge : no , we can still have that . r.j. : [ scoffs ] i know you love mom , dad . you got to stop her from marrying spencer . this is insane ! ridge : no , it 's not insane ! it 's extreme ! your grandfather wo n't listen to me . and quinn ca n't have this kind of power , but brooke -- your mother has made a decision to marry that tool . we got to respect that and just hope that the marriage wo n't last . r.j. : [ scoffs ] did mom tell you that ? 'cause i 've talked to mom . and she did n't say anything about being unsure or shares or you , dad . she talked about bill spencer , starting a life with him , how much it meant to her . she 's actually becoming mrs. bill spencer right now , and you 're just standing here . ridge : you think i like this ? r.j. : then change it . she 's really marrying bill . but this time it 's forever . ridge : well , we 'll see about that . r.j. : you really want to play this game ? do shares mean that much to you ? sure , protecting the company , but risking a life with the woman you love ? [ scoffs ] this is your last chance , dad . this is it . if you do n't do something about this now , you can lose her for good . [ birds chirping ] bill : i do like this suit . wyatt : thank you . bill : you have the rings , right ? wyatt : they 're in my pocket . they 're right here till the minister asks for them . bill : all right , just checking . wyatt : you 're not getting nervous , are you , dad ? i 'm just asking . i 'm just making sure . bill : i 'm your dad , right ? wyatt : yeah . bill : so you know me . wyatt : yeah . bill : am i the most patient man ? wyatt : [ scoffing ] no . bill : but i do n't give up , either . wyatt : hmm . bill : so , if i have to wait a little while longer to make brooke my wife , it 'll be well worth it . bill : tell me you agree , that you know this is right . love will prevail . we will prevail . donna : i found it ! brooke : oh ! [ laughs ] it looks like you found some champagne , too . donna : oh , and ... brooke : and some ... both : water . brooke : yes . [ both laugh ] donna : oh , so the necklace was on the floor in the backseat . must have fallen out on the way over . and as for this , i figured , um , you know , it 's a day for celebration . brooke : mm - hmm . donna : we could , uh , toast the occasion , talk about your husband - to - be , how lucky he is . [ chuckles ] brooke : yeah , he is pretty lucky . donna : yeah . [ chuckles ] to my big sis . [ sighs ] may you have a lifetime of happiness with bill . sure took you guys a long time to get here , but you faced it together . and you will -- everything from now on as husband and wife . i 'm really happy for you , babe . brooke : cheers . [ glasses clink ] donna : cheers . brooke : hmm ! i got to freshen my lips . donna : oh . brooke : where is that ? donna : oh , oh , here it is . here . let me do that . brooke : mm - hmm . donna : [ sighs ] here you go . brooke : i really do appreciate this . donna : come on . it 's nothing . nothing at all . brooke : i mean it . it -- it means a lot to me . donna : of course . ca n't have you thinking about ridge today . [ sighs ] did he realize how unfair he was being ? brooke : he 's just looking out for my best interests , you know . he just ca n't believe that i want a life with bill . donna : so he -- he kisses you . brooke : look , i - i thought you did n't want me dwelling on ridge . donna : i do n't . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i just -- i -- [ scoffs ] i 'm just surprised . you know , i ... i hope you set him straight . brooke : yeah , i think i did , for the most part . mm - hmm . anyway , uh , bill is waiting , so i need to get ready . donna : brooke , look at me . you said you -- you love bill . brooke : yes , i do . donna : that 's the only thing you should be thinking about right now , not -- not ridge , not eric or quinn . just ... you and bill , starting the rest of your lives together . today marks the beginning of forever . ridge : i 'm not losing your mother forever , r.j . i just -- i have to let this play out . r.j. : yeah , yeah , until you get bill 's shares , right ? but what if bill 's shares are the only thing you get ? mom would n't just say vows if she did n't mean what she says . think about what you 're asking . she 's not making a commitment until things get tough . she 's thinking long term . she 's thinking forever . you 're just gon na let it happen ? as they start a life together , you just sit , cross your fingers , and hope that she changes her mind ? are the shares that valuable to you ? i mean , you have loved mom since you saw her catering a party at grandma and granddad 's house . i mean , how many times have you told me that story ? ridge : [ chuckles ] r.j. : you two are meant to be with each other . ridge : yeah , maybe we are . r.j. : but you 're letting her marry another man ? a man you despise ? so you 're okay with this ? the wedding , the romantic honeymoon on his yacht , building a future together ? ridge : no , i 'm not okay with it ! it makes me sick ! r.j. : well , it makes me sick , too . but i ca n't do anything about it . you can . what means more to you , dad ? the company or mom ? ridge : come on . your mother . r.j. : then treat her that way . i do n't care if it 's for all the gold in the world . you ca n't be this obsessed with getting rid of quinn . do you want mom ? do you want mom ? ! ridge : yes ! r.j. : then go and get her ! stop the wedding before it 's too late . ridge : you 're right , r.j. you 're right . [ birds chirping ] wyatt : i forgot . am i giving a reading ? 'cause i think there were some words about love being patient . bill : come on ! what 's the hold - up ? you know waiting does n't suit me . alison : i have spoken to the caterers , and we 're gon na combine the reception with the cocktails as soon as the ceremony is over . bill : well , who knows when we 're gon na get started ? justin : donna 's probably up there talking brooke 's ear off , so ... bill : i 'm gon na find out what 's going on . alison : i think it is prudent for the groom to stay put . a woman wants to look her best on her wedding day , so you will wait right here and look appropriately dazzled when she arrives . bill : [ groans ] wyatt : i can go sneak up the back stairs if you want me to . hmm ? bill : no . no , no , uh , alison 's right . everything 's been planned , and it 's gon na happen this time . i 've waited this long , right ? i guess i can wait a little bit longer to see my -- my beautiful bride come walking down those stairs . wyatt : [ chuckles ] donna : you 're a beautiful bride on her wedding day . so much to look forward to . the promises you make today , they 're supposed to last a lifetime . you have to mean them . brooke : i will . donna : you ca n't let ridge or the thoughts of the kiss get in your head . brooke : i wo n't . ridge is just acting on old feelings 'cause r.j. 's in town . but i 'm here because i love bill . we could have an incredible life together . and there 's nothing he would n't do for me or for the children . donna : exactly . you can only do this if you mean it . no thoughts of ridge or -- or shares . brooke : okay . donna : you 're ready ? brooke : [ laughs ] yes ! yes , i 'm ready . donna : okay . all right . okay , i 'll go down and tell them . brooke : okay . donna : [ chuckles ] oh ! ridge : hey , hi . i 'm sorry . brooke : ridge , what are you doing here ? ridge : i got to talk to you . brooke : what -- donna : i think she 's a little busy right now . ridge : you ca n't do this . brooke : what ? ! ridge : you ca n't marry bill . brooke : he is downstairs waiting . ridge : i know where he is . just call it off . brooke : what about the shares ? ridge : i do n't care about the shares . no , i do . i do care about the shares . but i - i care about you more . so at this point , i 'm -- i 'm just hoping that my dad will come to his senses , the same way that i 've come to mine . brooke : what are you saying ? ridge : i 'm saying that destiny is a real thing . it 's been going on for months now . you know , we 're getting closer . we 're -- we 're reconnecting . r.j. 's in town and ... man , we can have our family back . i know i 've made mistakes . i know . [ sighs ] i have had some pretty hurtful misunderstandings . but i do n't want to live my life like that . i - i do n't -- i do n't want my hatred for quinn or my -- my concern for this company blind me to what is right in front of me , and you are right in front of me . and i love you . i always have . so the better or for worse , in good times and in bad . i want to be with you , so do n't marry that guy . spend the rest of your days with me . brooke : [ gasps ] [ exhales deeply ] | rj insists to his father that brooke is getting married today they have to stop her . ridge says she is an adult , there is nothing they can do . rj repeats that ridge stopped her once before when bill was not right for her and he is still not right for her now . rj is dumbfounded to hear that ridge and brooke have a plan , so there is more to it than rj thinks . ridge fills him in about the shares they need from bill . rj thinks that is stupid for even letting his mom be near that man for one more day . ridge tells him eventually he and brooke will be back together but they need to get quinn out of the company now to save the legacy that he wants rj to get . rj asks if he really wants to play this game . he knows about the shares now but what about brooke . she will be marrying bill for what she thinks is life , not just for a day to get back the shares . that is risking the life of the woman he loves . he says this is ridge 's last chance and if he does nothing he could lose her for good . he keeps hammering away at his dad that all the gold in the world is not worth this trying to keep quinn out and giving his mom over to bill . ridge says he is sick of it just like rj is so he admits he is right . |
quinn : i 'm not leaving , sheila . you are . sheila : eric , tell her . tell her , eric . quinn : you thought you were moving here ... that you were gon na replace me ? i 'm mrs . eric forrester -- me . and i will be ... forever . sheila : eric , would you tell her that you know about her affair with mateo ? say something , please ! oh , mateo . thank god you 're here . you need to tell eric . you need to tell him what you told me -- how mrs . forrester was crossing the line , how she was inappropriate . he needs to hear it from you . say something ! tell him the truth ! mateo : i told him the truth ! i admitted that you paid me to try to get mrs . forrester to have an affair and cheat on her husband . sheila : what the hell are you talking about ? mateo : mr. forrester ... i should have never agreed to it . i 'm so sorry . sheila : no . he does n't want to tell you . he does n't want to be honest because he does n't want to lose his job . he told me that they were intimate with one another , that there was far more than touching , that the two of them -- quinn : i told him to say that . i told him to tell you that we crossed the line . but we didn't . and we never would . you think you got me , did n't you ? you 're the one who got played . wyatt : i - i talked to my mother . katie : awesome . i ca n't wait to hear what she had to say . wyatt : [ chuckles ] well , she said she did n't like us being together , but ... she was going to try and accept it . katie : really ? wyatt : mm - hmm . katie : [ laughs ] wyatt : i also told her if she wanted to be in my life , she 's got to respect me and my boundaries , and that 's it . katie : wow ! well , um , i 'm glad you talked , but i 'm not gon na hold my breath about her supporting us anytime soon . wyatt : [ chuckles softly ] all right , look -- you do n't have to worry about her anymore . you 're not even on her radar . apparently , there 's someone else that she dislikes even more than you . katie : huh ! well , who do i have to thank for that ? wyatt : sheila . katie : sheila ? i thought she 'd left town . wyatt : nope . she is very much still around and apparently trying to sabotage my mom 's marriage . sheila : you betrayed me . and you ... you knew all along . all those things that you said to me at the restaurant , inviting me over here , leading me to believe that we were gon na have a future with each other ... putting my portrait on the wall ... you were just playing me , too . eric : i needed to get through to you , sheila . i thought that getting you to drag this portrait over here would be just the way to do it . sheila : you tricked me . eric : how does that feel , sheila ? i ca n't believe that you would come up with something like this . sheila : i did n't trust her . i wanted you to see what she was capable of . eric : wait . and you actually thought that this would work ... that you could get me to leave my wife ? ! i love her ! i 'm in love with quinn ! i 'm in love with her more than i 've been with any other woman in my life . you tried to manipulate everyone here . that 's very old - school sheila . that proves to me that you have n't changed a bit . sheila : well , i was worried about you . i was convinced that she would hurt you again . eric : i want you out of here . i want you out of my life , and i want you out of my house . this is mrs . eric forrester , someone you will never be again . katie : so , i ca n't quite believe that sheila would set quinn up like that , but i suppose it does make sense . i mean , she wanted to be back in eric 's life . she would do anything for that . wyatt : yeah . she went as far as paying the masseur to seduce my mother . katie : so , let me get this straight -- the estate manager is also a masseur ? wyatt : mm - hmm . katie : oh , man ! i got to get me one of those ! wyatt : hey , hey , hey ! you have one of those -- and for free ! katie : really ? well , on that note , i think that we should stop talking ? wyatt : oh , yeah ? katie : yeah . wyatt : i mean , i was n't really talking . katie : you talk way too much . wyatt : i do n't talk that much . all right . i 'm shutting up now . katie : mm . wyatt : mm . katie : [ chuckles ] wyatt : mm . mm . this way ? we 're going this way ? katie : yeah . yeah . you know the way . wyatt : okay . katie : [ laughs ] wyatt : stop it . i 'll tell you . katie : [ laughs ] quinn : you really thought it would work -- this desperate attempt to destroy my marriage ? i could never hurt eric like that . sheila : you already did , with his own son . eric : now , that 's enough . that 's enough , sheila ! sheila : you think you can trust her ? you 're gon na be looking over your shoulder . that 's not the life i want for you . you deserve so much better than that . i just did n't think that she would be able to provide you with what you needed . quinn : you are delusional . eric : okay . that you would come up with this whole thing and you drag mateo into this , as well -- mateo : i am so sorry . can you please ... forgive me ? i thought i was helping you . sheila made it seem like -- anyways , i should have known better . i care about your well - being , and i - i do n't want to lose my job . eric : i 'll let my wife decide . mateo : i am so deeply sorry , mrs . forrester . quinn : see , sheila ? that -- that 's what real regret looks like . i 'll consider it , mateo . eric : you can go , mateo . thank you . come back in a few minutes . i want to put quinn 's picture up where it belongs and take this one down . mateo : yes , mr . forrester . sheila : i understand how upset you must be . and there is no excuse for my behavior . but you have to know , eric , everything i was doing , i was doing for you . i was looking out for you . eric : no , stop , stop , sheila . i have given you chance after chance , and you 've let me down time after time . sheila : oh , please do n't give up on me . eric : i tried to believe in you . you know , i really thought that maybe you had changed , as you said , but you haven't . you 're still the same devious person you were all those years ago . sheila : no . no . that 's not true . i am not that person . quinn : you had a portrait made , you psycho ! you 've been planning this all along ! sheila : no . no . that is not true . quinn : do n't deny it . you 've been trying to get rid of me since the moment you came back to town . eric : quinn is my wife . she always will be . that 's not gon na change . you have to accept that . i tried to believe you . but you have n't changed . you 're the same -- the same woman you 've always been . i want you out of my life . i want you to leave immediately . wyatt : so , when i get into dad 's office , he and liam are hugging it out like they 're best friends . katie : that 's interesting . wyatt : yeah . then they pulled me into a big spencer bear hug , so i guess we 're all a family again . i just -- dad 's back running the company , which is good . i just -- i do n't know . i do n't know what my position 's gon na be at the company now that liam 's back . [ cellphone chimes ] oh . speak of the devil . dad 's calling a meeting . i got to be back at the office later . katie : first things first . wyatt : wow . katie : hi . wyatt : well , hello . are you a lingerie model ? katie : you 've got to stop saying that . wyatt : i 'm gon na stop saying that . sheila : i know you 're angry . but i assure you , i only had your best interest at heart . eric , please . i am so sorry . i did n't think quinn ... was worthy of you . but she proved me wrong . quinn : stop pretending that you know me . you do n't know who i am , and you ca n't even begin to comprehend how much i adore my husband . sheila : and you 're right . you 're right . i was -- i was wrong . and i 'm -- i 'm working on myself . quinn : i do n't really care about your excuses . we 're sick of hearing them . it is time for you to leave and never come back . sheila : this is probably not an appropriate question to ask , but could i have a moment alone with you ? quinn : you got to be kidding me ! after everything you just put us through , you now want to be alone with my husband ? sheila : eric , please . quinn : [ scoffs ] sheila : can i just -- one last time ... the two of us alone ? eric : fine . quinn : eric ! eric : it 's all right . my eyes are wide open . sheila : i ... i put quinn to the test , and she passed . eric : and you failed . sheila : yes . i failed . quinn 's a better woman than i am , and i 'm not afraid to admit that because it 's true . she 's committed to you . she 's your wife . and i wish the two of you all the best , eric . and i 'm so ashamed . i ca n't apologize enough for my actions . they were despicable . i know . i - i screwed up . but what we were building ... oh , this ... relationship , this -- this friendship , whatever it was -- [ sighs ] i want you to know it meant -- it meant a lot to me . and , uh ... you 're an incredible man . you need to know that . your family , the forrester family ... i guess i was just hoping i could be a part of that again . eric : you were a part of it , at one time , years ago . sheila : yeah . and i ruined that . the greatest chapter of my life , and i acted so shamefully , and i 'm doing it again , and i 'm working on that , though . i -- [ sighs ] i came to l.a ... to tell you that i love you . and i was hoping that you could forgive me for my past . but how could i have known that , coming back here , i would get caught up in all of this chaos and unjustly be accused of shooting at your wife , which i never would have done ? even when they arrested me ... you were there . you stood by me , and you defended me . your family has been pretty brutal on me , and i understand that , and i - i believe a lot of that i actually deserve . but just being here today and spending this time with you -- you truly are an extraordinary man . and maybe quinn does deserve to be with you . because you ... truly deserve ... the best . katie : we always seem to have a good time , do n't we ? wyatt : yeah . this is my favorite part . katie : really ? wyatt : yeah . katie : snuggling ? wyatt : oh , yeah . katie : mm . and talking about our feelings ? wyatt : feelings , cuddling , deep conversation -- that 's all really my endgame . katie : right . yeah . sure . mm - hmm . wyatt : yeah . i mean , all the stuff leading up to it -- eh , it 's okay . i could take it or leave it . katie : oh , okay . well , i will keep that in mind for next time . wyatt : yeah . next time , punch me in the face if i ever say that again . katie : [ laughs ] mm . wyatt : mm . i do n't want to leave you . katie : then don't . wyatt : i have that meeting with dad i got to go to . katie : then come over afterwards . wyatt : all right . i will . katie : good . wyatt : you know there 's no place i 'd rather be than right here . sheila : you know , maybe it 's silly for me to say ... but i 'm hoping that someday i can be a part of this family , a part of all of this . and i realize it 's -- it 's something that most likely will never happen , but a girl can dream , right ?

[ sea gulls crying ] rick : you and him ? caroline : [ crying ] i wanted to tell you . rick : do n't you think it 's a little late for that ? hope : ridge ? eric : is this true , ridge ? ridge : it was nothing . rick : it was what ? hope : nothing ? ! she just admitted it ! ridge : what maya felt the need to share with everyone was nothing . it was n't an affair . it was two people working . so , what did you do -- you follow us up to brook 's cabin ? rick : this happened at my mother 's cabin ? caroline : it was wrong . and we were just -- we were just caught up in the moment . it was a few kisses . hope : you are a married woman . i can not believe this . ivy : i - i - i ca n't stay here for this . caroline : [ crying ] it was -- there was no more to this . there was ... rick : [ crying ] how long has this been going on , caroline ? maya : i am so sorry , rick . i tried to warn you . caroline : ohh . carter : you and i do n't belong here . you know why she 's doing this . we all do . maya : because i care about you . ridge : you got to be a little careful , maya . your agenda is showing . rick : you know what ? ! i do n't give a damn ... about any one of you . caroline : [ crying ] ivy : i 'm kind of hiding out . hope : i 'm gon na wait here for rick . ivy : do you really think he 's gon na come back here ? hope : i do n't know . i do n't know what he 's gon na do . that was awful . ivy : you know what ? i - i really do n't think it had to be . hope : what do you mean ? ivy : well , maya aimed for maximum effect , and she pretty much got it . hope : you think that my brother overreacted ? ivy : no . no , i do n't . i 'm not saying that . i 'm just saying that i do n't think there 's really anything serious going on between caroline and ridge . hope : what do you know about it ? carter : hey . ivy : is it all over ? carter : no , but i was done . hope : what do we think eric 's gon na do ? carter : he was n't looking happy . eric : you were deliberately using caroline ? ridge : i was compromised . she was helping me . rick : i do n't even want to hear the rest of this ! caroline : i 'll come with you . maya : you 've done enough ! caroline : some foolish things happened , but we came to our senses , and that is the end of it . rick : no . no , caroline . this is the end of it . caroline : no . ivy : so , what do you think rick will do ? hope : [ sighs ] well , i think the odds of him willing to work for ridge just got even more remote . carter : for the sake of the company , they 'll have to settle it . rick and caroline are both too valuable to lose . ivy : well , the question is ... is ridge ? caroline : rick , do n't . please , do n't ! could you please give us a minute alone ? rick : what the hell for ? ! you 've already humiliated the both of us ! caroline : look , you are -- you are upset , and you have every right to be . rick : are you telling me my rights ? ! and all this buildup , this big decision -- it was all just theatrics for you , was n't it , dad ? why did i fall for it ? [ crying ] because i did . because i actually thought for a chance in my life , all my hard work and my ambition would finally pay off . but you knew . you always knew who you were gon na choose -- the anointed one . eric : that 's not true . i never lost respect for you , ever . rick : will you stop ? ! okay ? you never seem to have a problem finding the right words . let me ask you something , dad . is this out of loyalty to stephanie that you would choose her son and not your son as blood relation ? or -- or is it because you 're too ashamed to admit that you ever had another family with another woman , a woman you two shared ? what did you guys do ? you guys high- five each other after that ? ridge : [ snickers ] rick : oh , did i say something that was inappropriate ? come on ! it 's always been there ! well , what about me , huh ? ! who am i ? am i still that little kid to you ? ! ridge : so , what do you think -- dad made me c.e.o . because you were n't good enough ? rick : he 's not your father ! and i would think that you would want a son you could count on , one that would n't just leave for paris for a year , say , `` to tell with it . `` i 'd certainly think that you would want one you could trust . ridge : oh , grow up . eric : no , you 're in the wrong here , ridge . you hang on to some dignity . ridge : really ? and how do i do that ? i had a daughter who 's dead because of him , and i have another one who wishes she had never put eyes on him . how do i dignify any of that ? ! rick : not by sleeping with my wife . caroline : oh , stop it ! this is not about every bad thing that ever happened ! this is about a betrayal -- a betrayal by you and a betrayal by me , one that you have to forgive . please . please forgive us . ivy : okay . so , what should we do ? should we try and do some work or something ? hope : on what ? i mean , we 're not even gon na know what we 're supposed to work on until they 're done in there . carter : or who we 'll be working for . ivy : yeah . i wonder if maya will still be around once the smoke clears . hope : she ca n't get fired for telling the truth . carter : but she did n't . hope : she told a version of it . i think that that 's better than knowing and not saying anything . carter : is it ? it seems to me like this is a completely unnecessary crisis . it sounds like caroline got wise to herself and made a course correction before it was too late . hope : but how do we know that 's true ? that 's what she says , but i 've been around a lot of people who have said , `` i 'm so sorry . i will never do it again . `` and they always meant it from the bottom of their heart , but then -- ivy : how do you do this ? how do you come to work every day with your ex here who you clearly still have feelings for ? i mean , that 's how it looks from the outside . carter : well , i do n't -- i do n't know . i - i guess in some ways , our relationship 's better now . at least she 's honest with me . hope : so , you do appreciate her honesty ? that 's what just happened , and now she 's being condemned for it . carter : it 's about her motivation . her motivation is to be with rick , to be part of your family . and i get it . anyone who 's not a forrester , logan , or spencer -- they want that feeling of belonging , but to get your way by hurting people like that ? caroline : rick , maya is blowing this way out of proportion , okay ? you know why she is doing this . you know what her motives are . maya : it 's always about me , is n't it , caroline ? not this time . caroline : rick , baby , baby , please . this is -- this is not helping , all these people , okay ? let 's just go home and talk . rick : whose home ? caroline : ours . rick : why do n't you go back to the cabin with him ? caroline : i will never do anything like that again . rick : you should n't have been there in the first place ! did he ask you to go ? caroline : i just thought that -- rick : did you ask him why then ? caroline : no , i did n't . it was a short phone call . i di -- rick : then what did you think , caroline ? caroline : i thought that brooke let him use the place . rick : you did n't think about all the guilty kissing you 'd be sharing ? you did n't think about throwing a bed in the mix this time ? caroline : no ! rick : did you think about me ? did you think about coming home to me ? did you think about touching me with the hands that you touched him with , kissing me with the lips you kissed him with ? this was gon na be my big day , my reward for being sent away all those years . i really thought this was the last time i 'd be walking through my father 's office because it was gon na be mine , and my beautiful -- my beautiful , talented wife would be there to carry on the tradition with me . eric : that could still happen , rick . rick : no . you two made your choice . eric : there has been no family conspiracy against you . rick : it was n't really necessary , was it ? like a school of fish or a pack of wolves ... you all know when to turn , all at the same time . and you certainly knew your target . caroline : wait ! where are you going ? ! rick : what does it matter ? ! you 're where you want to be . caroline : no . i 'm coming with you . rick : no . no . caroline : no , please , rick ! i love you ! please ! hope : well , eric 's door is still closed . ivy : all right . well [ sighs ] i ca n't just sit around here . i 'm so bad at waiting . hope : i do n't know what else to do . ivy : you know what ? i 'm a newcomer here , and i feel like every corner i turn , there is a new booby trap waiting from the past that i just have no idea about . carter : it 's hard to be new here . hope : i know that feeling/ i felt the same way when i first started working here , and i have known all these people my whole life . ivy : yeah , well , i have n't . i feel like i 'm not entitled to an opinion or to at least take sides . hope : well , i think it 's pretty clear - cut this time . ivy : yeah . well , i think that 's what we 're all telling ourselves . eric : some things i did n't want to say in front of maya . ridge : you knew this was n't gon na be an easy day . rick thought you were gon na hand it all to him . eric : i do n't think that was an unrealistic idea . in fact , i think i 'm gon na retain my right to maybe change my mind . caroline : can i please just go ? eric : no . god ! i knew today was gon na be hard , but i had no idea i was gon na find out something like this about the two of you ! ridge : the only thing you found out was a whole lot of nothing . if maya was n't such a drama queen -- eric : now , wait a -- wait a minute . this whole arrangement with caroline -- was this kind of a seduction ? ridge : was it what ? no ! eric : i think maybe it was . i think maybe you wanted to present me with a credible design partner while your impairment lasted with the added bonus of sending rick into a tailspin ! ridge : oh . you think i 'm that calculating ? eric : oh , i know . i know how calculating you can be . ridge : this ... you remember this . this is artists working together , late hours , and [ sighs ] i do n't know . yes , maybe there was a lapse in judgment , but that 's over now . caroline and me -- we know who we are to each other , what kind of team we can and ca n't be . and rick -- he 'll get over it . he 'll be fine . he 'll realize that he 's not gon na throw away his wedding vows over ... some foolish infatuation . eric : is that right , caroline ?

[ scene_break ] maya : i just wish i knew what they were saying down there . rick : i can guess what your dad 's saying down there . maya : yeah , i 'm sure he 's trying to convince nicole not to be our surrogate . rick : you know , we did n't have to leave them down there . maya : i was getting out of control . anyway , it has to be nicole 's decision . she said she was okay . she can handle our parents . rick : all right . why do n't you come sit down ? maya : it 's just the timing . you know , nicole agreed , we were starting the process , and then my parents show up . and now my dad 's getting into her head . rick : you 're afraid he 's gon na convince her to change her mind .

[ scene_break ] ridge : thomas thinks he can make his own rules . brooke : like come back from paris without permission . ridge : permission ? that 's a concept that he does n't understand . brooke : why do i get the feeling there 's more to this than you 're letting on .

[ scene_break ] caroline : you 're happy . thomas : yeah . of course , i 'm happy . that could have been a disaster . i do n't even want to think about it . i mean , you and dad are married . the three of us work together . that could have ruined everything , but , hey , we 're back . it 's amazing . look , i was trying to be cool with it , you know , but , i mean , inside , i was thinking , `` do n't be mine . do n't be mine . do n't be mine . `` i do n't know . i 've been trying to fix things with my dad and make up for all the stupid stuff i 've done lately . and getting you pregnant would have absolutely ruined that , not to mention what it would have done to your life . caroline : [ chuckles ] yeah . thomas : but everything 's fine . you know , we can go on with our lives , just like we planned . so , thank you . i 'm really glad we were able to clear that up . caroline : so am i .

[ scoffs ] he kept asking about the baby and if there 's any chance that it could be his . ridge : what did you say ? caroline : honestly , i did n't even know what to say at first because he caught me so off guard . you know , he -- he asked if i knew who the father was , and i said yes , and that was n't good enough . and so he kept asking if i was certain and if there was any chance that it could be his . ridge : [ sighs ] you did n't tell him . caroline : no , i did n't . you should have seen his face . he was so relieved . he kept saying what a huge disaster that would be , and thank god it was n't his . [ scene_break ] thomas : dad is still angry with me , brooke . brooke : i know it seems that way , but you have to understand , sometimes that 's how parents show their concern . you remember when you were little , how you would run across the street or try to touch something hot . and ridge would yell at you , but it 's not because he was angry . thomas : but i 'm not a little boy anymore . brooke : i know . i know . so show him that . show him your maturity . he 'll come around . i promise you , this problem wo n't be hanging over your relationship forever . [ scene_break ] caroline : so , he does n't suspect a thing . he thinks that he dodged a bullet and having a baby would completely ruin his life right now . ridge : well , i 'm sorry , caroline . but thomas is n't ready to be a father . he barely ready to be a man . that 's my son , so that 's not easy for me to say . but he 's selfish . he does n't know how to put anybody else 's needs in front of his own . caroline : you ca n't handle him the way that you did earlier , because anyone can see how angry you are . ridge : i have every right to be angry . caroline : i know , but this is supposed to be the happiest time in our life . so , you fuming at thomas is gon na make people think that there 's something wrong . so , if we 're gon na do this -- if we 're gon na say that this is our baby -- then you have to get over what happen that night . you have to wipe it out of your mind , because thomas is back in la , and if you ca n't figure out a way to get along with him , then it 's gon na raise flags , and he 's gon na start asking more questions , and it 's only a matter of time before the truth comes out . ridge : i 'm not gon na let that happen . [ scene_break ] julius : we should have never left l.a . [ horn honks in distance ] vivienne : maya did n't want you here . do you want that to happen again ? julius : i do n't care what maya wants . we 're not going anywhere as long as our daughter 's life is at stake . vivienne : listen , maya and rick will take good care of nicole . she 'll have the best doctors . julius : i do n't care about that . i care about nicole , her future , her dreams , her relationship with zende . did you see how she responded when i brought his name up ? and maya -- why is maya telling me not to scare her ? what is she so afraid of ? vivienne : well , it 's a lot for a young man to handle , starting out a relationship . julius : come on . having a child with your sister 's husband ? vivienne : [ sighs ] well , i agree . i mean , i do n't even know if nicole has thought this through , but , you know , it 's -- she 's an adult . it 's her choice . julius : it 's not her choice . see , it 's maya 's choice . and that 's been the driving problem with this family all along -- maya making choices and us having to be drug through them and support her decisions . vivienne : hmm . well , maya wants her child to come from this family . she wants it to be an avant . julius : i do n't want to have anything to do with that , and neither would nicole if she was n't so beholden to her . i was getting through to her , viv ! vivienne : i do n't think she 's certain about this , but she said yes , anyway . julius : which is why we ca n't let it go . listen , she 's not acting in her own best interest . our daughter needs our guidance . vivienne : yes , guidance , yes , okay ? now is the time for love and concern . we have to handle it delicately , not with judgment and disapproval . julius : wait a minute , i 'm not entitled to an opinion ? viv , maya and rick ca n't be the only voices in our daughter 's head . i mean , somehow convincing her that it 's noble to have a doctor put dna from rick in her body ? vivienne : listen , if nicole is gon na do this , we 're gon na have to support her . julius : just because we love our children does n't mean that we have to condone their poor choices . i 'm trying to accept maya 's choice for her life . now she 's making decisions for nicole ? no . i wo n't have it . [ scene_break ] maya : i 'm sorry dad did that to you . nicole : you 're the one who should be upset . maya : [ sighs ] nothing he says gets to me anymore . but he affected you . he made you question your decision . it 's okay . rick : nicole , we just want you to be sure about this . maya : if you 're not -- nicole : i am . maya : you 're not obligated . nicole : i said yes . rick : we appreciate that . maya : i know things got intense in here earlier , but if you 're not 100 % certain that you want to do this , we 're not holding you to it . nicole : dad ca n't bully me into changing my mind . maya : no . you stood up to him . and that means so much to me . but this is n't about choosing sides or proving dad wrong . nicole : it 's about you and rick and how much you love each other and what great parents you 'd be . maya : it 's about you , too , nicole . nicole : i can -- i can do this for you . maya : at what cost ? dad mentioned zende . nicole : he was just trying to rattle me . maya : i 'm not asking you to sacrifice your relationship . nicole : why does everybody keep saying that word ? `` sacrifice `` ? like i 'm not getting anything out of this , too , like me seeing my sister happy has no value to me . because it does . maya : and your happiness means just as much to me , nicole . and when i think about what you 're willing to do , i am so grateful . but not just when i think about the baby , rick and me , having a child that 's part of both of us . it 's when i think about us , too , going through this experience together , what that means about how far we 've come and how much we love each other . but it 's not because you said yes . it 's because you were the first person i wanted to ask . nicole : [ chuckles ] and i 'm really glad you did . maya : [ sighs ] i am so thankful that dad did n't change your mind . but surrogacy is a huge step . it is for us , too . i mean , we 're asking someone to carry our child . and i feel completely comfortable knowing that it 's you because there is no one that i trust more than my sister . [ chuckles ] | thomas grills caroline more if ridge is really the father of her baby . brooke gets ridge to admit that thomas is back from paris and what went wrong for it to be such a short stay . maya tells rick that she is worried what julius might be telling nicole and getting into her head about this surrogacy . julius tells nicole that he is afraid she made her choice based on just what maya wants . both he and vivienne are thinking of her . julius reminds her that rick is a very rich man and they can have a family in other ways . as her father he forbids this . vivienne says having a baby is wonderful but it is no picnic . nicole needs to think of her life and dreams with zende . |
bill : you messed with my chair , did n't you ? you made some adjustments . liam : it kept tipping back . it was like a mechanical bull trying to throw me . wyatt : well , let that be a lesson to you , bro . bill : no problem for me . because it knows its owner . liam : you know that 's like a safety hazard , right ? like , what if will crawls up on there one day ? bill : you know , speaking of your baby brother , before you know it , he 's gon na need a job here and have a piece of spencer publications . liam : that 's so unfair . wyatt : right ? i at least had to know my abcs . bill : until then , it 's you two clowns and me in charge . but before we go any further ... i 'm sorry i , uh , i yanked this off you , son . and it would mean a lot to me if you 'd put it back on . liam : hello , old friend . [ chuckles ] bill : okay . all is right in the world . now , one for you , one for you , one for me , and one file copy . wyatt : copy of what ? liam : yeah , alarms start going off in my head whenever you make me sign something . bill : did you not hear what i said ? this agreement makes us equals . we 're gon na run spencer publications together , each with our unique contributions . but you better get your own chairs . ridge : bill spencer asking for forgiveness . steffy : the two of them , he and liam . it was really a special moment . ridge : so bill took a leave of absence , liam took over , and then bill hit him in the face . steffy : well , you know how families are . ridge : i don't . i thought i always taught you guys to use your words , so what happened between the two of them ? steffy : wait , are there -- there are two r 's in `` embarrassment , `` right ? ridge : what ? you 're writing a quarterly report . what are you using `` embarrassment `` for ? what are you ... shirley : something from the title company . are n't we done with them ? sally : `` refinance now `` ? dude , the ink from our loan is n't even dry yet . shirley : huh . how did we even get the renovation loan ? i mean , my credit 's in the toilet . sally : so is mine . but i had the property as collateral . shirley : the only way you could have come by this piece of property is via c.j . or liam spencer . and c.j . said it was n't him . not that i disapprove . i think liam is perfect for you . sally : perfect for me for what ? shirley : hmm . do n't make an old lady get graphic . did liam make you give him a dollar so that this building would be legally a sale and not a gift ? sally : look , grams , i know you would love it if i had a sugar daddy , but he 's married . shirley : when somebody wonderful is married to somebody awful , we classify that as `` not yet divorced . `` sally : [ sighs ] shirley : did you give liam a piece of the business ? is that how it works ? come on , sally . you 've been talking about a guardian angel . how dumb would i have to be not to figure out who ? ridge : `` embarrassment of riches . `` that 's trite . steffy : okay , so why do n't you write the message from the c.e.o.s ? ridge : because i think we both know i 'm better at criticizing than actually writing it . but since i am criticizing it , what did you say ? we 're up 2,100 units in l.a. alone ? who says units ? you sound like your in - laws . steffy : you know people do n't call me mrs . spencer , but that 's who i am . ridge : maybe because they 're embarrassed with two r 's to call you that . steffy : regardless , i have been a good influence . liam and his father reconciled , and they 're working together . ridge : and that 's good for bill . not so good for liam . liam : well , this is a moment i never expected . wyatt : yeah , neither did i . bill : stick with me , boys . full of surprises . liam : hey , dad , you know , those programs i put in place , i really think they 're gon na be -- bill : the three of us -- three of us will review them with fresh eyes . we 'll keep what works , trash what doesn't . sound good ? liam : thank you . you know , i like looking up to you . bill : [ chuckles ] liam : all right , i got to go . bill : sorry to see that little trinket go . wyatt : look , dad , i , uh , i got to apologize . uh , when i felt like i was being cut out , i might have gotten a little testy . bill : already forgotten , wyatt . i 'm gon na be leaning on you more than you know . wyatt : well , i mean , i 'm -- i 'm not trying to upstage liam or anything . bill : ah . as of today , we do n't have to worry about your brother anymore . ridge : this company works because our employees are happy . they 're part of the process . that does n't happen over at spencer , does it ? steffy : bill would tell everyone to stop whining and be grateful for their job , whereas liam , he would give everyone raises and more benefits . ridge : ah . careful . you 're starting to talk about your husband the way his father does . steffy : okay , bill does have a good side . i know that 's , like , invisible to you . and liam has another side , as well , as big - hearted as he is . ridge : let 's hear it . steffy : he 's stubborn , like his father . he -- he thinks he 's right when he 's not , like his father . and he 's extravagant , like his father . ridge : and he 's a good person , unlike his father . he has causes . he gives back to people . steffy : yeah , causes are great . i 'm all for causes . but liam gives too much . you would n't believe what he 's given sally spectra . sally : this is obviously not the type of relationship that you think it is . shirley : so , you and liam are in a relationship . sally : no ! yes , okay ? he 's been very good to us , but that 's it . shirley : [ scoffs ] i guess you do n't think as highly of liam as i thought you did . sally : i think liam is the most amazing man that i 've ever met . he 's kind , he 's gentle , he 's funny , and not to mention generous . but , grams , i can appreciate someone without wanting anything from them . shirley : you keep telling yourself that . [ knock on door ] liam : you guys busy ? shirley : oh , very . my granddaughter is relentless . yes , your majesty . whatever you say , your majesty . i 'll get it right away , your majesty . it 's awful , your majesty . goodbye , your majesty . sally : okay , you know not to believe anything she says . liam : actually , i believe everything everyone says . it 's kind of a flaw . sally : no , you do not have any flaws . you are not allowed to come off that pedestal . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah , i 'm sure i 'll fall off it later . listen , um , i have some news , uh , and i have a few minutes . you should probably hear it from me first . my father is back . sally : i did n't realize he ever left . liam : at spencer publications . sally : and gunning for me again . liam : well , no . he acknowledges that what he did was wrong , and now he and wyatt and i are all gon na run the company together equally . those are his words . now , the building is yours , sally , and the property on which it stands , so in theory , you have nothing to worry about from my dad . wyatt : i thought that you said that it was gon na be the three of us . bill : i did . i would say or do anything to fix what i broke in this family . all those days i spent alone sitting in that big mausoleum of a house , brooke gone , liam here behind my desk , you ... god knows where . wyatt : well , i mean , i was n't hiding . i just kind of felt like , you know , you wanted time to yourself . bill : wyatt , before you boys , before i was ever married , time to myself , that was my life . it 's what i wanted . i do n't want that anymore . i ca n't go back . that 's why this document means exactly what i said it does . the three of us running spencer together . but how much did you enjoy taking marching orders from liam ? wyatt : well , i mean , he 's my brother . i 'd -- i 'd take a bullet for him . but when he was behind the desk , i ... i felt like he was n't right for the job . bill : i think we both saw another side to your brother , an aggressiveness . he was pigheaded , self - righteous -- above all else , self - righteous -- and power hungry . all excellent qualities that got me to where i am today . there 's only one me . your brother 's problem -- it 's his goals . he thinks he can just , you know , dole out $ 1,000 to everyone , everywhere , along with a subscription to the soybean chronicles , and that cures all the ills in the world . no , it does n't ! this document is a system of checks and balances . three of us running the company , how many is a majority ? wyatt : two . bill : attaboy ! see ? you 're smart . i do n't care what anybody in this building says . wyatt : they say that ? bill : two -- you and me . i 'm the checks , you 're the balances . as long as i can count on you to vote with me . wyatt : yeah , generally we see eye to see on everything with the exception of mom , of course . but bottom line , you -- you put yourself back in charge . bill : and just in the nick of time , because shortly we will have a problem . a tall one . [ knock on door ] justin : did somebody order a skyscraper ? [ chuckles ] bill : [ sighs ] justin : ooh ! bill : welcome home , sky . [ chuckles ] ridge : he gave her the spectra building ? that 's a building downtown . that 's millions of dollars ! steffy : liam was righting a wrong . he thinks that bill sabotaged spectra . ridge : well , he did with that article . steffy : okay , fine . then when do we call it even ? liam gifting her with the building , flying her to san francisco , getting an architect to help her build ? ridge : wait , he did what ? steffy : you see my problem ? ridge : i do n't know . maybe i do n't see your point . is there something going on with sally and liam ? steffy : no , i 'm not worried about liam . he 's not the unfaithful type . ridge : all men are the unfaithful type . steffy : if all men were like you , i guess . ridge : wow . thanks . steffy : okay , i 'm not trying to be morally superior or anything , but i know liam 's a good guy . maybe too good . liam : you do n't look very reassured . sally : wonder why . liam : hey , it 's your building . you 're still remodeling with your own money . sally : the bank 's . liam : okay , the bank 's , which you will pay back handily once you get up and running . you 're golden . trust me , trust me . you 're golden . sally : well , you are one of the only people i do trust . well , the only one with more cash than cobwebs in his wallet . liam : ooh . yeah . sally : mnh ! first flaw . liam : oh ! sally : yeah . liam : you and my dad do have something in common . he gets on my case all the time for walking around without paper money . sally : yeah , well , your spencer i d is just as good . liam : and your name will be , too , once you open the doors to this place . you 're gon na be big . i got a feeling . wyatt : [ scoffs ] i mean , i thought -- i thought liam got rid of that thing . bill : alison to the rescue . alison : it was nothing . liam wanted it sent to the house . i had it for safe keeping . bill : untrustworthy as the day is long . except with me . thank you , alison . uh , alison . get all this crap out of my office . alison : yeah . wyatt : so , is this the tall problem of which you speak ? because i know it was a bone of contention between -- bill : do n't call her a bone . call her sky . wyatt : okay . are you still planning on building it ? where you gon na do that ? justin : where do you think ? wyatt : not the spectra site , i know that . bill : then you do n't know much . wyatt : dad , liam paid out the wazoo to buy that property . bill : for spencer publications . wyatt : no , he signed over the deed to sally spectra . bill : well , it 's a funny thing about that . i 'm gon na let my attorney here earn his money . justin , the floor is yours . justin : all properties belonging to spencer publications are held in a trust . everything we acquire , whether it is a parking space or a strip mall in skokie is automatically transferred to the trust . dollar bill is the trustee and the only authorized agent and signer . bill : so liam 's gift is n't valid without my signature . justin : county recorder kicked it back to the title company . they kicked it back to me . wyatt : the deed must look real . i mean , she 's already borrowed against it . bill : it 's not our problem . the property is ours . thanks to your brother , i can finally give my beautiful sky the home she 's always deserved . ridge : so , i have a question . why does the c.f.o . of international insist on submitting things this way ? steffy : i know . same with these balance sheets . ridge : i 've talked to her twice already . i do n't know . steffy : well , i 'll talk to her . ridge : no , do n't do that . i 'll talk to her . it 's my job . but this is what you do . you get in the middle . you try to be the peacemaker . you did it with your sister , your brother , and now you 're doing it with the spencer boys . steffy : is that so terribly wrong ? ridge : could be . historically , peacemakers make great targets . wyatt : so , you suckered liam , and you used me to help you do it . bill : well , that is n't very nice . why would you try to turn this into something ugly ? that hurts my feelings . wyatt : 'cause that 's what you did . bill : well , apparently you ca n't see the forest for the trees , the trees that your brother is very well hugging right now . look , everything that i did here is legitimate . your brother 's the one who made the purchase for us . now , he did n't know that he could n't legally do anything with it , so it 's still ours . or do you think that we should honor his comically generous impulse and flush a $ 50 million purchase down the drain ? wyatt : no . no , i don't . bill : good . then we agree . wyatt : but what he does n't know is that this -- this whole agreement , the purpose of it is just to keep him in line . bill : it keeps us all in line ! it keeps us all together , working together , thinking together , achieving together . i meant every word i said to the two of you . if i can count on you to give me a reliable and consistent majority of two when it comes to a joint decision , then i can see a very bright future . in fact , you might say that the sky is the limit . now , your brother , he 's a very bright guy , brighter than i gave him credit for . but he does n't have a business mind ! having said that , together , we can save his inheritance and yours and build the most beautiful , majestic skyscraper west of the mississippi , an everlasting legacy to the spencer name . so are you with me ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] hell yes . i 'm in . bill : [ laughs ] excellent . now listen , i want to be really clear about this . i appreciate many of your brother 's qualities . but when it comes to sky , he 's just gon na have to deal . the majority will carry the motion . and spectra will have a date with the wrecking ball . liam : sorry . sorry . had a quick errand to run , but i 'm , uh ... what -- what 's up ? bill : the sky . get it ? sky ? up ? [ laughs ] liam : uh , yeah . i - i recognize it . i just ... bill : recognize her . liam : um , i 'm a little curious . bill : you thought she was gone . liam : i did , yes . bill : she 's not . liam : why is that ? bill : this is my office , is n't it ? liam : why is wyatt looking at the floor ? bill : you know your brother . he 's a floor looker . liam : wyatt . dad ! what the hell 's going on here ? | bill tries out his chair and it feels like the perfect fit although liam says he always felt like he was on a mechanical bull . bill hands him and wyatt papers and says they will all be working together and running the company . liam says he never thought he would see this day . when he leaves wyatt apologizes for saying anything earlier when he felt he was being left out with liam running the company . bill says it is forgotten and he will be leaning more and more on wyatt and not to worry about liam , he has plans for him . steffy discusses the situation with ridge . she says liam is stubborn like his father but he gives too much . ridge will not believe what he has given sally spectra . he is a good guy , perhaps too good but she is not worried about him and sally personally . he is not the unfaithful type . sally and grams have a little talk and grams can not convince her that liam is perfect for her and it matters not that he is married . with two completely different people that only means temporary until a divorce . sally says she does not need a sugar daddy . she will be just fine . |

brooke : honey , you really need to rest . rick : what i need is to know that ridge is out of your life . brooke : that is not going to change this situation . rick : he pushed me off of a building , mom . i could have been killed . i 'm sorry , but i 'll be damned if i let a man like that marry my mother . [ scene_break ] donna : please tell me you are not buying this . pam does n't remember the last few months -- it 's -- it 's an act . stephanie : it 's not . eric : no , she just had brain surgery . that could easily explain the memory loss . donna : or -- or it 's all part of her plan . she pretends not to remember , and she gets off scot - free . stephanie : oh , donna , stop it . she 's not responsible for what she 's done . donna : that does n't change what she did . stephanie : oh , my god . donna : look , whether she remembers it or not , she needs to be punished . please tell me you agree with me . pam belongs behind bars . [ scene_break ] brooke : ridge and i are engaged . we made a commitment to each other . rick : what about your commitment to me ? to your son ? mom , where the hell do i fit in ? i 've been in this man 's shadow my entire life . i 've come in second to ridge -- with you , with dad . when does it end ? what is it going to take , mom ? brooke : he did n't mean to hurt you , rick . rick : ohh , mom , come on , ca n't you see he 's got you paralyzed , too ? when you 're with him , you ca n't move . you 're stuck in the same place . you 're willing to pay any price for this man . i 'm sorry . i can not be a part of that any longer . i 've lost too much to him . look , i ca n't control keeping ridge out of your life , but i can sure as hell control keeping him out of mine . even if that means ... ( sighs ) even if that means shutting you out . brooke : what are you saying ? rick : i 'm saying that if you walk out that door and you choose him ... ( sighs ) do n't come back . rick : ( sighs ) brooke : ( sniffles ) [ scene_break ] donna : pam is a menace . if it were up to her , we would both be dead right now . stephanie : may i speak to you alone for a moment , please ? donna : do not let stephanie sweep this under the rug . she may not remember , but i promise you , i will never forget . donna : never . stephanie : this is what i 'm concerned about -- pam 's treatment . she -- she 's not going to get the proper treatment in a prison . she has to be in a psychiatric hospital . eric : yeah . stephanie : now look , my mother -- my mother 's flying in . she wants to take her back to chicago and put her in a facility there . so that means you ca n't testify against her . and you have to get donna to agree not to testify , because if neither one of you do , then i 'm sure the district attorney 's office will not prosecute the case . eric , please , i do n't want my sister to pay with the rest of her life for something that was beyond her control . eric : yeah . [ scene_break ] rick : son of a bitch . ridge : ( gasping ) rick : ( moans ) ( door opens ) taylor : rick ? rick : i do n't want you here . rick : i guess your ears do n't work any better than my legs do . taylor : i know i do n't have any right after all the pain i 've caused you . i know that . rick : ( sighs ) taylor : but i do still care . rick : ( sighs ) you want to pity someone ? pity ridge . i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair , and he put me in this situation . he 's got ta live with that . taylor : ( sighs ) rick : he 's a loser , taylor . i have no idea in hell what you and my mom see in this man . i do n't get it . but right now my eyes are wide open . i see everything . i see that i was just a crutch for you , somebody to build you up so you could make a play for the man you really wanted . ( moans ) taylor : rick ... rick : you needed to regain your confidence , and i was there to help you do that . taylor : yes , you did . you did . that 's why i feel so terrible about this . rick : taylor , you walked out on the best thing that ever happened to you . we had something real , something good . and you left . for what ? rick : for what ? ! [ scene_break ] ridge : hey . how 's rick ? any word on his prognosis ? brooke : he wants me to leave you , ridge . and if i do n't , there 's no place for me in his life . [ scene_break ] donna : unbelievable . stephanie got to you . eric : honey , the brain surgery was real . now the tissue they removed from her brain is being biopsied as we speak . donna : it 's irrelevant . stephanie : you have absolutely no compassion , do you ? my sister could have cancer , and all you can do is think about getting back at her . donna : the woman tied me to a chair and -- and turned a bear loose on me . eric : look , i think we can all agree that that was irrational behavior . i - i -- but if it was caused by a brain tumor , then pam can hardly be held responsible for it . now look , i 'm not gon na testify against pam , and i 'm asking you not to either . pam is no longer a threat . you saw her . she 's no longer a threat . donna : i 'm sorry . i - i do n't believe it . eric , i am sorry . i know your heart is in the right place , but i ca n't let this go . i wo n't . ann : i still ca n't believe it . an old brain injury . stephanie : i know . and -- and she absolutely remembers nothing these past few months . ann : well , that 's a blessing . we 're never asked to shoulder more than we can bear . stephanie : mother , eventually , she 's going to have to pay for everything that she 's done . that 's why it 's so important we get the right treatment for her . donna : ( scoffs ) eric : i saw the doctor on the elevator . he said to talk to you . what ? stephanie : oh , you mean they did n't tell you ? eric : no . stephanie : the biopsy came back negative . she has no cancer . eric : oh , good . that 's wonderful new . good . ann : i 'll give you two a moment . let 's have a chat , dear . donna : i have nothing to say to you . ann : good . i do n't enjoy being interrupted . i have been told you 're determined to see my daughter imprisoned . donna : where she belongs . ann : pam is my baby , donna . that -- uh , my little girl has spent her entire life taking care of me . i will not let her be put in jail or in of those horrible state mental institutions . i 'll take her to northwestern for evaluation . they 'll determine the kind of help she needs . we 'll -- we 'll get her transferred to a secure facility . donna : a country club with padded walls . forget it . no . ann : she wo n't listen to me either . eric : donna , please . stephanie : donna , all we 're asking for is just a little mercy . eric : the same consideration your family asked of stephanie for your brother -- understanding , compassion . that 's all . [ scene_break ] taylor : ( sighs ) talk to me , rick . rick : taylor , please , just go . rick : get the hell out of here ... now ! taylor : okay , fine . i 'm going . i 'll leave . taylor : i want you to know that ... i will always care about you . rick : ( sighs heavily ) ( knock on door ) rick : ( scoffs ) taylor , please , just get the hell -- hey . steffy : hey . rick : ( sighs heavily ) steffy : i heard what happened . rick : yeah . i do n't really know why i ever got involved with her in the first place . ( sniffles ) i mean , there really is only one love of her life -- your father , the great and powerful ridge forrester . [ scene_break ] ridge : we 'll get through this . brooke : ( sighs ) rick wants me to choose . ridge : he 's asking too much . you 'll be there for him . you 're his mom . i know how much you love rick . but he needs to realize that he 's not your only responsibility here . we 've made a commitment to ... get our whole family together -- hope , r.j. and now jack . they 're counting on us , too . nothing 's gon na stop our wedding , logan . it 's gon na happen . it 's time . [ scene_break ] donna : i am not being cruel or unfair . what she did was horrendous . eric : what she did was horrendous . nobody denies that , but we can not ignore pam 's medical condition . look , circumstances happened to your brother that changed him into a man you -- you did n't recognize at all . how can you think that the same thing could n't happen to pam ? we can not allow her to be prosecuted . we ca n't . it 's not the answer , not for anyone . donna : fine . take her to chicago , and put her somewhere safe , and keep her there . ann : oh . stephanie : you made the right decision , donna . ann : oh , thank you . i think when you spread the wealth around , ann : you 're not going to jail . you 're going home with me . pam : no . mother , i hurt people . ann : you were n't yourself . everyone understands that . eric and donna are not going to testify against you . pam : what ? eric , really ? thank you , eric . thank you . stephanie : pammy , just try and get some sleep now , okay ? pam , pam , you 've got ta get some sleep now , okay ? come on . she needs to rest . pam : thank you . eric : bye . stephanie : bye , sweetie . pam : thank you . ( cell phone rings ) eric : it 's gon na be all right . ( rings ) eric : eric forrester . yes , i am . what is it ? what ? all right , i 'll be right there . i got ta go . stephanie : uh , okay . um , mother , i think we should find her doctors and discuss the transfer procedures , all right ? i 'm sure they 're up here . pam : donna . donna , i 'm sorry . i am so , so sorry . donna : are you ? really ? pam : yes . i know you probably think that i 'm evil . i do n't blame you . mother said that you 're not gon na testify against me . does that mean , donna , that you -- you might forgive me ? pam : please , donna , please , because if you ca n't forgive me , i just could n't bear it . pam : bear it ? [ scene_break ] steffy : here , i got you some fresh water just in case you get thirsty . rick : you know you do n't have to hang out here . steffy : i know . actually , um , what you said about my mom and dad -- ( sighs ) are you sure ? rick : what ? that your mom is still worshipping at the altar of ridge forrester ? yeah , i 'm positive . steffy : that 's not what she told me . rick : well , i do n't know , steffy . maybe she 's embarrassed . look , your dad has always treated women like -- like toys -- your mom , my mom . i 've been living with this man 's arrogance my entire life , and i 'm sick of it . i ca n't stand it anymore . i 'm gon na stop him . [ scene_break ] taylor : ( sighs ) ( door slams ) brooke : your assistant said you just got back from the hospital . taylor : yeah , i saw rick . brooke : have n't you hurt him enough , taylor ? taylor : i 'm heartsick about what happened . brooke : rick went after ridge because of you . taylor : i know i played a part in this . i know if i had n't gone and tried to end things , that he would n't be where he is right now . brooke : he would n't be where he is right now if you ended things when i begged you to . but you did n't listen to me . i knew that he was n't the right person for you . and i did n't know you still had all these feelings for ridge . brooke : how long were you going to wait , taylor ? did you want to wait and see if ridge was going to leave me once i took over as mother for jack ? or i guess when that did n't work , you had to do something else . you had to incite an argument between ridge and rick . taylor : that is such a lie . brooke : my son is lying in a hospital bed because of you . you told rick that you love him , that you 're going to marry him , that he was the only man for you . you lied to him , taylor . taylor : no . brooke : you lied to him . you lied to me . taylor : no , brooke , i was honest with him . the minute i knew that i had some feelings for ridge still , i - i - i ended the engagement . brooke : oh , my god . you might as well have just thrown him off the building yourself . my son is paralyzed because of you , you and your sick obsession with ridge . i blame this whole tragedy on you , taylor . you hurt me in the past over and over again . but this -- what you have done to my son -- i will never forgive you for this . this is war . | brooke assures rick that he needs to rest and he will be okay . he grouses that he just needs her to get rid of the man who pushed him off the roof . he will not let that man marry his mother . he wants her to be committed to him , not ridge . he gives her an ultimatum . if she walks out the door and chooses ridge , then do n't come back . she is out of his life just like ridge is . donna asks eric not to forget what pam did . sick or not , donna is not going to forgive or forget . stephanie asks eric not to testify and if donna does n't then the police will not charge her and she can go back to chicago with ann and get help there . eric asks donna not to testify , but she ca n't let this go . his heart is in the right place , but he 's being too light on pam . ann talks to donna and assures her that pam took care of her for her entire life and she will not allow her to spend her life now in prison . eric begs again for some compassion . they can not ignore her medical condition . he asks her to remember her own brother and the person he suddenly turned into because he temporarily lost it . she then agrees , take pam to chicago and keep her there . |

( laughs ) this woman just had a quarter of her lung removed , and you just tell me she 's just out ? brooke : so you 're saying there could be some complications ? taylor : well , yes . that 's why the hospital would like to get her discharged early , because she is susceptible to infection . brooke : but outdoors would be okay ? taylor : i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe if she wanted to go sit in a park or something , but i personally would n't advise that , especially , you know , right now . she should n't be around big crowds of people . brooke : oh . taylor : what ? brooke : well ...

[ scene_break ] kevin : well , some of them may seem a little shy at first , but they 'll give you an earful , believe me . stephanie : okay . great . kevin : oh , see , reverend thomas is here . excuse me , reverend thomas ? reverend thomas : yeah ? kevin : i 'd like to introduce you to miss stephanie forrester . reverend thomas : hi . stephanie : hi . how are you , reverend thomas ? kevin : she 'd like to talk to you . reverend thomas : doing wonderful . good meeting you . stephanie : oh , i 'm so happy to hear that . ca n't we sit and talk for a minute ? reverend thomas : of course . stephanie : that 'd be great . this is such a wonderful and unusual experience for me . what do you think the main problem is with people ending up homeless ? i know everybody always assumes that it 's drugs and alcohol , but it 's not necessarily that , is it ? reverend thomas : no , not necessarily . it 's actually a very complicated issue . i 've found that many of the people that i , uh , minister to have been abused , physically and sexually as children , and i think that , um , part of the problem has been that that abuse put them on a different sort of path that ultimately ended up at homelessness and , in some cases , in skid row . woman : i came down here because of a divorce . i had suffered my third nervous breakdown . stephanie : mm - hmm . woman : and i got involved with a man that was very abusive , and , um , well , he locked me up in a closet at the frontier . i met another cuban man who actually put , um , chains on the door . stephanie : mm . woman : so ... but , um , i 'm okay now , 'cause i met ... stephanie : now what group -- now what group did you go to that helped you ? or how did you find yourself able to get out of that cycle ? woman : well , you know , everything -- a lot of times , we look outside of ourselves to find things , you know , but everything you need is already inside of you . so i looked within myself and found love and started loving myself , you know , and developing self - love and self - worth . stephanie : self - esteem ? woman : yeah , self - esteem . and skid row provided a safe haven for me . man : at 12 years old , they took me away from my parents . and from there , they end up putting me into a foster home . by the time i was 18 , i went back home to my mother , and it was like mother already had a lot of kids . i - i mean , i 'm the oldest of eight , so there was no room . so when i came back home , she was like , `` you ca n't stay here . `` i - i did n't have nowhere else to go . stephanie : sure . man : i really did n't , and it hurt me , and i cried . so i tried to get an apartment , trying to work two jobs , security job , whatever . it was hard . stephanie : i admire your strength and perseverance . [ scene_break ] taylor : well , i have to say , i 'm very impressed by -- by your sensitivity and your insight into something that the medical field basically -- i do n't know , they sort of underplay it . it is true that the human spirit and its drive to overcome adversity is mostly what 's responsible for a person 's healing . brooke : stephanie has chosen life and decided to undergo treatment because of dayzee and her friends . taylor : well , they sound like a very special group of people . brooke : from what i 've seen , they are . [ scene_break ] stephanie : are the majority of the people that live on the streets , is that -- is -- are there some of them that are there because of the economy , because they just have lost a job , or ... man : um , lost . just no direction , no -- no guidance , no -- no faith and belief that there 's anything solid or concurrent that ... stephanie : they can grasp onto . man : is worth anything . yeah . you know , that -- that -- that there 's no interest . there -- there 's -- because there 's lack of , first of all , for lack of god . and then because of that lack of god , there 's lack of oneself , and then from oneself , there 's just nothing there . so you go with whatever makes you happy , you know , and most of that time , it 's something destructing , you know , something that 's gon na destroy you , that -- that 's gon na make it worse because on that offset , it 's fun and , like , can always be fun . stephanie : right . man : you know , and then -- then there 's , uh , the -- the -- a lot of people who are just sick of the rat race , you know , the -- the dictation of that rat race and just ran away because they 're just not -- ca n't take that 9 : 00 to 5 : 00 , ca n't cope , you know . and then they find carousing and drugs and alcohol and -- and then once again , they 're lost . [ scene_break ] man : i help people multiple ways . i try to tell 'em drugs ai n't good for 'em . you just try to give 'em hope because i think they all lost it . stephanie : did you , um , did you ever use ? man : no . stephanie : no ? man : n - never was a user , no . stephanie : no ? that 's great . man : but substance hurt me . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm a victim of substance abuse ... stephanie : substance abuse . man : most definitely , because it hurted me just because i did n't have a mother or a father , due to substance abuse . stephanie : no . when people -- when people use drugs or drink alcohol , they 're not present , are they ? man : exactly . exactly . stephanie : yeah . so you 're kind of alone . yeah . man : right . man : bam . bam ! stephanie : it 's amazing to me how many people here give back . they do n't just sort of pack their bags and leave and go off . a lot of them stay to help other people . when you look around and you see how much has to be done and -- and -- and you say to yourself , `` how is this possible in this country , this wealthy nation , that we ca n't take care of everyone here ? `` it 's just amazing to me that we somehow let people slip through the cracks when they should n't . man : yeah . well , you know , that 's the beauty of this place , though . i began to see this community with a new pair of glasses . and i saw how even if you 're homeless , it do n't means that you 're hopeless or helpless . so people that i 've met here have taught me so much , and i 'm so grateful to be here , and i 'm so grateful that you 're here . stephanie : thank you , kevin . kevin : bye - bye . stephanie : thank you so much . if people come to you , to your church , do you minister to homeless people down here , as well as -- as your congregation ? reverend thomas : everybody in the community . our motto is `` all are welcome . `` ( upbeat music playing ) reverend thomas : we minister to homeless people , residents . uh , it does n't matter to us from what walk of life they come . what we try to do is try to promote unity in the community , and whether that be with -- internally or externally . in other words , social solidarity , uh , and empowerment . so we want to see people become empowered . that you are enlightened , a man that sees himself in a mirror . you oughta go back to the mirror and look at that person who you used to love , the person who had dreams and hopes . but it is not too late for you . it is not over yet . as long as you are still alive , you can be what you want to be . stephanie : boy , what would we do without you ? what would the community do ? reverend thomas : well , the community is hard to envision without our church . stephanie : without this , this structure . reverend thomas : it 's such a vibrant and vital part of the community . and the people in the community love our church . stephanie : how they could not with such a wonderful person like you . reverend thomas : well , thank you . stephanie : and i hope in some way we can come and help you . reverend thomas : i hope so . thank you very much . stephanie : thanks for taking the time . reverend thomas : oh , you 're welcome . thank you . [ scene_break ] man : this is a - a real neighborhood with long - term residents ... stephanie : it 's a real community . it 's a village . man : yeah . who do things to create more community . stephanie : yes . man : this is a very vibrant neighborhood of people who are , uh , helping themselves and one another . woman : i have a -- an organization called garments of praise , where i find the gifts , talents , and abilities within others and bring them out and provide a platform for them . and i also have a , um , women 's empowerment organization because i believe education is empowerment . stephanie : it is , is n't it ? woman : yes . stephanie : get kids in school , keep them in school , get them an education . woman : yes . stephanie : without an education , you ca n't even begin to think . woman : right . right . right . stephanie : that 's fabulous . how did you become aware of skid row ? man : you know , over the years as a -- as a child , um , you know , it hur -- you know , you hear about , uh , skid row in the -- in the media , and so you have this -- this -- this negative imagery . and it 's funny because everything about my past actually prepared me for -- stephanie : led you here ? man : to -- to -- actually just prepared me for my work here . and so , you know , because at -- at the age of 19 , when i was in college , i had cancer , so i -- stephanie : oh , you did ? so you 're a cancer survivor ? man : yeah , a cancer survivor . mine was hodgkin 's disease . you know , i had chemotherapy for like -- the first time was one and a half years . it went into remission . a couple years later , it came back . and i did two more years of chemo . and , uh , now i 'm , you know ... stephanie : you 're clean . man : at that 10-year window . stephanie : congratulations . man : thank you so much . stephanie : that 's so great . man : i did a book called `` peace - n - hood `` about a dog and cat who get together . so i wrote that book . also , i started an association called old jesus service association . i deal mostly with kids . stephanie : right . man : okay , i do n't too much deal with people 20 and 30 , 'cause they do n't want to listen . and kids , you know -- stephanie : you can still shape them . man : yes . so i came out to do a tournament . it was gon na be more than just a game . but what happened was gang members came from all over , 'cause basically , our -- our -- the league is about gang intervention , about recovery , about mentorship . you know , so the league is built on respect . that 's why blood -- in this part right here , you 're gon na see bloods and crips from different gangs playing right here ... stephanie : wow . man : on the same team . stephanie : and the kids get to see that . man : and they get to see it . so you mentor , whether you like it or not . when you 're on the court arguing , you 're mentoring , whether you like it or not . so if you do the right thing , you 're teaching . if you do the wrong thing , you 're still gon na teach 'em . stephanie : that 's fantastic . may i say congratulations ? and i hope you -- i mean , really , from my heart , that 's just great . man : thank you very much . stephanie : it 's so nice to meet you and spend some time and learn so many wonderful things from you . thanks . man : thank you very much . stephanie : i want you to teach me and show me everything . i want to learn as much as i can . dayzee : you 're really committed to this . stephanie : 100 % . some of these people and what they 've been through , it 's just astounding . in a way , it 's oddly uplifting . i mean , i feel as though i 've been given an opportunity to do something , to help . stephanie : it was very kind of you to share your story . man : thank you . god bless . stephanie : and -- no , god bless you . and best of luck n everything . man : okay . man : you ca n't stop dreaming . stephanie : if you do n't dream ... man : exactly . stephanie : you ca n't live . man : and i shoot for the stars . man : speak up . stephanie : hi . man : he 's shy still . | dayzee takes stephanie around on skid row and they interview real people on the streets who are living there . stephanie laughs that this cancer is not going away so they better do this quickly . both taylor and brooke are worried about her being outside subjected to more infection . it 's admiral that she wants to help the estimated 50,000 people , but this is just not the time . she needs to be concentrating on herself . she 's fighting for her life just like these people on the streets are . stephanie interviews them and each have a different , sad , personal story .not just drugs or alcohol which a lot of people believe , but just circumstances in their life that separated them from family and they are on their own . stephanie is amazed that in this wealthy country of ours , there are so many people who have slipped through the cracks and do n't get help . yet those who pull themselves out of it often stay to help the others . there is hope and it is not over yet . she thanks the reverend for taking his time in explaining the church and the community . she thanks them all for spending time with her and letting her learn all she can . she 's been given an opportunity to help and she 's happy they shared their stories . |

did he have anything to do with it ? liam : well , quinn denied it , but why should i believe her at this point or him ? i mean , it -- no , i do n't have proof that he was directly involved , but even if he knew what quinn was doing , he would n't have stopped her , because it was just another way to come between us , and that 's what he 's been after all along . i just -- i just want you to get that . i mean , you get that , right ?

i know how much you love your sister , and i know none of this was intentional on your part . and that 's not who you are . brooke : and yet i keep asking myself every single day , `` who is brooke logan , really ? `` she is a woman that is sleeping with her sister 's husband , and they 're not officially divorced yet , and they share a child together . i know hope is disappointed with me , and i 'm disappointed with myself . but that does n't change the way i feel about bill . so , what does that really say about me ? wyatt : look , however this shakes out , the fact of the matter is , is we did n't make the video . liam did . and that 's why hope is upset , and that 's why she called off the engagement . but still , if he convinces her that it 's a manipulation , then ... where 's that gon na leave hope and me ? liam : the thing is , whether or not he knew , this still reflects on who my brother is . i mean , this is the same guy that kept on kissing a girl he knew was in a committed relationship . the truth is i -- i 've never had a good feeling about wyatt , and honestly , i wish i did , because he 's family . but his constant disrespect of -- of me , of our relationship -- hope , wyatt is not who he wants you to think he is . yeah , he 's -- he seems charming and uncomplicated , but underneath all that , there is a maliciousness , and do n't think that you 're not gon na end up hurt by that in the end , too . we -- we ca n't let him or what his mother did come between us . i 'm -- i wo n't let it . liam : we ca n't let quinn and her son keep us from the life we 've always wanted . i mean [ chuckles ] nothing 's even standing in our way now . we -- we could get married anytime we want . i just -- please , tell me that -- that is something you still want . hope : [ sighs ] i need to speak to wyatt . liam : okay . caroline : [ chuckles ] people are staring . rick : well , you better get used to it . you 're forrester royalty now . caroline : [ chuckles ] should we make a formal announcement ? rick : whatever you 'd like , your excellency . liam : [ sighs ] quinn : if liam gets to hope first , he is going to twist everything i did . wyatt : he 'd turn the whole thing around on me , if possible . quinn : wyatt , you had nothing to do with this . hope wo n't blame you . wyatt : even though i knew after the fact and did n't say anything ? mom . quinn : [ sighs ] wyatt : hope values honesty . i 've known that since the beginning . and unlike my brother , who 's kept things from her , i do n't want her to start doubting me . hope : did you send me the video ? quinn : yes , i did . hope : [ sighs ] um ... what about you ? did you know about it ? are you keeping this from me ? come on , i want the truth , wyatt . eric : so , where is bill ? brooke : [ clears throat ] he 's working with a trainer , preparing to free - climb in aspen . eric : what ? brooke : he has n't been able to climb for a while because of his work , and now that katie 's marginalizing him at the office ... eric : yeah . i think you need to give her a little more time . bill does , too . you know , she 's still hurting . brooke : i know . but bill 's patience is running thin , and , quite frankly , so is mine , since she bears some of the responsibility of us being together . eric : because she pushed you together ? brooke : yes , she did . she insisted that we share a life together . she was having a hard time being a mother , she could n't breast - feed will , and she asked me to step in and help mother her child . eric : which you did . brooke : of course , i did . i love will . he 's my nephew . and katie was acting erratically . eric : and that was because of the postpartum depression , right ? brooke : yes , but we did n't know she -- she had that . i mean , after she got diagnosed and she was on medication , she still acted the same way . she was bossing bill around . she was telling him what to do . she told him to go to therapy . she was spying on us . she set up all those cameras . it just never ended . you know , if it was as simple as stepping aside and letting bill go back to katie , i would do that . eric : but it 's gone beyond that now . brooke : i love bill , and i will for the rest of my life . now , maybe that 's my heart talking and not my conscience , which has n't done so well for me in the past . [ sighs ] but i 've made my decision , and i 'm sticking to it . | at the office wyatt tells hope now that his killer karaoke night is over , maybe he should get an agent and do birthday parties and bar mitzvahs . hope says yes and engagement parties like her brother 's . wyatt says yes things are looking up for both him and his sister . he starts to kiss hope when quinn dashes in and grabs him and needs to speak with him . she tells hope sorry but it 's business . she drags him into another office and says she tried to leave messages for him all night . he tells her about taking the international buyers out for karaoke night and he made a fool of himself but he and hope had fun . so now she can tell him what is so important . she tells him the video tribute to steffy that she e - mailed to hope now liam knows she sent it . he does n't just suspect it but has proof . he thought wyatt sent it so he went looking . then he confronted her like maybe he thought she would deny it . she says she did not deny it or even apologize as she thought she did the right thing . wyatt laughs that probably infuriated liam even more . she says yes and he bolted out to find hope , but since she was with wyatt that liam never got that chance . hope is working in the design room when liam comes in . he says hi and that he knows she is busy . she does n't look up or even at him , just keeps on working on her fittings . he has the papers in hand that he says the attorney brought by . he is now officially annulled , so if she wants to they could get married . with that she looks at him . he say he knows that is probably not something she wants right now , but he has some information that he hopes will change her mind . he tells her that he was right all along . they were being manipulated by wyatt and his mother . she listens to his explanation and he says not only did quinn not deny it , she never even showed any remorse . he say yes he made the video in the first place and he is sorry for that , but quinn has gone to extreme lengths to drive a wedge between them and it worked . at least now hope knows that . she wants to know if wyatt knew anything about this . liam says quinn did deny that but why should he believe her or even wyatt at this point . that 's what he has been after all along , so even if he knew he would not have stopped his mom . he wants her to get that . |

[ scene_break ] brooke : if ridge wanted to be with you , taylor , he would be . but he 's not . he 's my fiancé . taylor : you have no idea what 's in his heart . or maybe you do . brooke : i do know what 's in his heart . it 's me , and it 's our children , and it 's the future we 're going to share together . but , you know , i do n't even know why we 're talking about this . because my son is lying in the hospital right now paralyzed . taylor : yes , that 's exactly right . here you are in my office because you 've made this all about ridge and me . brooke : you stay away from ridge . we 're going to be married , and nothing will stop our wedding . taylor : great . that 's fine . if that happens , i 'll respect it , just like you respected mine . but , you know , i do n't think it 's gon na happen this time . i do n't think it will ever reach that point . because things are going to be very different . i 'm not the same sweet little goody - two - shoes taylor that you 've pushed around all these years . brooke : i wo n't argue with you on that one . you certainly have changed . taylor : that 's because when you 've hit rock bottom , you have to learn how to claw your way back up . it 's only after you 've lost everything that you 're free to do anything . you do n't really care how long it takes anymore . you do n't really have anything to lose , so you take whatever you want . and right now , i 'm taking back ridge . [ scene_break ] eric : look , rick , all this negativity can not be good for you . rick : this is a dangerous man we 're talking about , dad . eric : you have to stop focusing all this negative energy on ridge . rick : what i have to do is protect mom . look , and do n't tell me that mom and ridge are still in love and they 're gon na get married . do n't defend him . not to me . not after everything that 's happened . mom can not see ridge for what he really is , but i can . mom and ridge are done , dad . i 'm sorry , but i 'm gon na make damn sure of that . [ scene_break ] stephanie : you going to answer me ? ridge : yes , i still love her . i ca n't deny that . we have three children together and a lot of wonderful years . stephanie : yes , but you could have a whole lifetime , the rest of your lives together . i mean , she made you happy . ridge : so does brooke . stephanie : it 's not the same . ridge : oh , and you know that better than i do ? stephanie : well ... ( laughs ) i understand that overcoming challenges , for you , is very satisfying . so safe to say , brooke has given you a lot of satisfaction . taylor , on the other hand ... ( sighs ) you had peace and fulfillment . ridge : mother , we had wonderful years together , but that was a long , long time ago . stephanie : and brooke made , uh , good use of her absence . that 's safe to say . uh , she did help you pick up the pieces of your life , and she has given you something wonderful -- your son . but that 's why you 've stayed with her , is n't it ? ridge : brooke and i are very committed to the future together that we want . stephanie : but it was n't the kind of life that you had planned on . i told taylor , `` fight brooke with everything that you have if you want him back . `` ridge : ( chuckles ) i guess every story has its villain , but i 'm not gon na let you turn brooke into one again . what happened , happened . there 's no undoing it now . stephanie : i do n't know . taylor loves you . she always will . if you got back together with her , you 'd have your family . and you could have a life , the kind of life that you really deserve . [ scene_break ] taylor : ridge knows what i want , too , and i left him with a little food for thought . brooke : so the ball 's in his court . taylor : no , really , he does n't have to do anything . men like a woman in charge . brooke : ( laughs ) oh , my god . how many times are you gon na bang your head against the same old wall ? fine . knock yourself out . taylor : you always do the same thing . you make a joke when you 're feeling threatened . brooke : ( sighs ) you know , seriously , i just feel bad for you , taylor . you 've had a hard time lately . you 've had to make some really difficult decisions -- giving up jack , rick . it 's not the way i would have hoped , but it is the right decision . but this -- going after ridge is only gon na bring you heartache . taylor : mm , well , thank you for your concern . brooke : i was trying to reason with you . but i can see that i 'm wasting my time . you know , people in the past have told me that psychiatrists are the craziest people of them all , and i never believed them . but now i 'm starting to . taylor : well , maybe i am crazy , after everything you 've done to me and my family . and for what ? your entertainment ? that 's exactly what you 've done with ridge . you 've toyed with him . you throw him away . you get him back . you throw him away . you get him back . that 's your history with him , and he knows it . and he knows it always ends the same way -- no commitment , no stability . and that leaves you with no more coupons , brooke , and me with the only safe place for him to go . i 'm gon na say this only one last time . i 'm taking back what is mine . that 's a promise , and there 's nothing you can do to stop me . | eric tells rick that they will get through this , get specialists or whatever it takes for him to walk again . rick snarls that none of this would be necessary if it had n't been for ridge . eric tries to persuade him this was just an accident . rick still insists this man 's ego is out of control and he is only using taylor . if ridge thinks he can keep these two women at each other 's throat , then he has all the power . meantime brooke tells taylor that she is to blame , all for dumping rick and wanting ridge back . it was taylor 's path of destruction that led rick to this . guess they should be glad he 's not lying in a ditch like darla . taylor says if this is war , then she is taking back her territory . she puts brooke on notice , she is taking back her husband . brooke assures her nothing is going to stop her wedding , so back off , leave ridge alone . she wonders how long is taylor going to keep banging her head against that wall . it will only bring her more heartache . taylor asserts one more time she is taking back what is hers and there is nothing brooke can do to stop her . ridge has a talk with stephanie and she is ecstatic that taylor still wants him and not rick . they will have another opportunity for a more peaceful life . she wants ridge to look her in the eye and tell her there are no more feelings there for taylor . he confesses yes he does love taylor , always will . they had wonderful years together , but that was a long time ago . he is committed to brooke now . he will not let his mother turn her into a villain again . jack overhears katie telling jack that he feels like her son . she even asks nick if they might keep him full time until brooke gets through this crisis . he 's not sure that is a good idea since the boy needs stability and his biological mom is a large part of that . |

[ sighs ] i was just hoping that we could all handle this like adults . hope : [ sighs ] i tried to get through to mom . you know , i told her that she ca n't follow her heart on this one . there 's too much at stake . she has to listen to her conscience this time . brooke : you and katie will sort this out when we get back to l.a . bill : all i wanted to do was say goodbye to my son . brooke : you 'll see him in a few days . bill : [ scoffs ] not if i 'm living in your house . i mean , what gives her the right ? brooke : she 's will 's mother . she 's trying to protect him . bill : no , she 's not trying to protect him . she 's trying to control my relationship with him . our marriage is over , and she still wants to dictate what i can and can not do .

[ both chuckle ] hope : i really do feel like i got through to mom . bill got her all turned around . katie : [ sighs ] hope : i - i do think that it 's only a matter of time before mom realizes how wrong this is . brooke : the captain says we 're starting our descent . bill : your captain . brooke : we 're going to your house . bill : if katie has n't sold it by the time we land . brooke : i know it bothers you . bill : bothers me ? i ca n't see my son . i ca n't use my jet . katie wants to dump my aspen house and my yacht . she thinks she 's punishing me , getting rid of my toys . what she does n't understand is they 're not toys . they are tools of business -- tools that i have used to make spencer publications one of the most profitable companies in the world . well , let 's see if it stays that way under katie 's leadership . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . bill : you do n't have to apologize for her . brooke : i 'm the reason she 's running your company . bill : it 's not your fault , brooke . brooke : i have to wonder . bill : do n't . brooke : am i worth everything you 've had to give up ? bill : everything and more . katie : i appreciate your support , but -- oh , my goodness -- this is really my battle . hope : well , are you saying i should n't borrow trouble ? katie : i 'm just saying you 've got a lot going on , you know ? you 've got your line , and the hope for the future diamond has been all over the news . hope : i know , and that -- that 's where i 'm putting my focus right now . katie : when you 're not planning your wedding . hope : actually , uh , that was put on hold . katie : oh . i 'm sorry . donna said something about you and liam having issues , but i did n't realize it was that serious . hope : it 's all about timing and where my priorities need to be right now .

'cause we told the security company that we needed an experienced guard . charlie : 30 years in the business . wyatt : mm - hmm . charlie : you 'd be hard - pressed to find a security guard with more experience than me . and if you 've ever been hard - pressed , you know exactly what i 'm talking about . bill : we did n't come here to run away from our problems , brooke . we came here to rise above them -- 14,000 feet above them . these mountains have been good luck for us . coming back here feels right . [ sea gulls squawking ] wyatt : wow . 30 years on the job , huh ? caroline : that 's a long time . charlie : yeah , it makes me something of an expert , does n't it ? wyatt : well , security has changed a lot since you started , though , right ? charlie : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , i 've had to change with it , you know ? i graduated top of my class at the security school at cerritos , but i still take classes . you know , you got to keep up with the latest technology -- sonic , infrared , you know ? i , uh -- i once worked with a robot . she was quite a pistol . [ chuckles ] pam : [ chuckles ] that 's so exciting , though . charlie : yeah , well , it 's not supposed to be . a good security guard never wants anything exciting to happen ... wyatt : hmm . charlie : ... especially on a job like this one . you want to make the papers ? rob a bank . you want to make headlines , steal a diamond . i mean , look what happened in france last summer . that big heist made headlines from cannes to kansas . pam : i - i remember -- that film - festival thing . charlie : yeah . and that was just one bracelet . can you imagine if somebody got their mitts on this big , blue bad boy ? that would make headlines all over the planet . pam : [ gasps ] wyatt : hmm . pam : and how about that pink panther thing ? that was ... charlie : oh . caroline : oh , oh . or the jewelry thieves in belgium . they were dressed as women , were n't they ? wyatt : wait -- pam : right . wyatt : you guys heard all about these stories ? pam : wyatt .

[ birds chirping ] bill : so , how 's this for acclimating ? brooke : ohh . [ chuckles ] this is ... bill : you still worried about my frame of mind ? brooke : i think aspen has a good effect on you . bill : i think being here with you has a good effect on me . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill : everything we do together is an adventure , brooke . that 's the way we see the world . katie -- that part of her has died . it just does n't exist anymore . and she certainly does n't appreciate it in me . we do n't ask what 's possible . we decide what 's possible . we do n't shy away from challenges . we devour them . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill : that mountain does n't stand a chance against us . and nothing else does , either . as long as i 'm looking into those beautiful green eyes , i know exactly where i 'm meant to be . do n't ever forget that . | at the boutique , wyatt frowns when he recalls what hope said about her freaking out when it seems like manipulation again . pam and caroline notice it and asks if he is all right or is it because hope is not there today . he says he is happy and they just need to keep the momentum of sales going . pam and charlie continue to make goo - goo eyes at each other from across the room . wyatt tells caroline that of course he is here to work . somebody has got to keep an eye on the guy who keeps his eye on the diamond . he tells charlie that something this precious , he ca n't lose . he asks caroline what she thinks of the guard . he seems easily distracted . he knows the security camera eric has set up and the silent alarm work great but for his money he thinks they need a giant armed guard next to the diamond . wyatt tells pam that the guard is here to watch the diamond , not her . she 's pleased to hear they he is watching her . caroline chastises them both to let charlie do his job and wyatt do his . pam asks wyatt just exactly what is his job . he quips to make hftf the most exciting , talked about line in fashion . hope visits katie at her office and tells her that she has tried talking to her mother about not following her heart this time . there is too much at stake on this one . but katie just needs to keep talking to bill . katie says she hoped they could discuss this like adults but bill does n't like it when people push his buttons . she says she would not allow him to see his son at brooke 's house but also not at the office when it was n't a planned visit . she wants him to think about it . he ca n't just assume he can pop in and say goodbye to his son and then leave with a clear conscious with hope 's mother . hope says that she hopes by her being around the house that will make them uncomfortable and she feels like she might have gotten through to her mom . and it is just a matter of time before her mom realizes just how wrong this is . she confides in katie that the wedding is on hold for now while she concentrates on her line . it 's all about timing . her line had been dead . it was almost a joke but now thanks to wyatt and the diamond and quinn 's designs , it is alive again . she and wyatt make a great team . and he is determined to get them even more publicity although she does not know how that is possible . on the plane bill continues to grouse that katie would not let him say goodbye to his son . they are getting a divorce and she is still continuing to try to tell him what he can and ca n't do . she 's not trying to protect her son . she is still trying to control bill . and they are lucky to still have the house in aspen to go to . she has sold his yacht and all his toys . what she does n't understand is those were not toys but the means that he built his empire and now he may lose it under her leadership . brooke says she is sorry he had to give up so much as she is the reason katie is doing this . he kisses her and says he 'd do this and more for her . |

'cause clearly i am . what 's going on ? bill : you left my office . now you 're back . you 're right in the loop . this is what 's going on , or up . liam : yeah , your pet project . bill : she will be built . a landmark moment in the history of the spencer family . liam : fine . let 's find a property for her . anaheim . bill : anaheim ? we already have a piece of property , liam . that has n't changed . sky will be built on the spectra lot . shirley : heard your guardian angel left awhile ago . so sad . look at these invoices ! sally : already did . just go ahead and pay them . shirley : [ scoffs ] what happened to your boy ? sally : liam is not my boy , grams . he just stopped by to give us some news . bill is back at spencer publications . brooke : wow . zende is really doing some great work . steffy : yeah , i know . his designs have , like , a european flair . brooke : he and nicole are having a great time in paris . steffy : yeah , must be , uh , pretty quiet for you at the house . how you doing ? brooke : well , since breaking up with bill and planning to file for divorce , it 's been difficult . steffy : well , you have two terrific men who love you . brooke : almost as much as they love themselves . steffy : i do n't know if that 's the case . as a spencer , i know bill 's hurting . brooke : and as ridge 's daughter ? steffy : i ca n't deny it . you know , for his sake , i 'd like to see you guys back together . have you made a decision ? shirley : so , the evil prince is back ? now what ? ! sally : nothing 's changed . shirley : not yet , but -- sally : bill ca n't touch us . we own the property . shirley : he is a snake ! he will find a way ! sally : not a chance . shirley : says who ? oh , wait . the boyfriend . sally : the benefactor , to whom i will be forever grateful . shirley : you can just stop right now . it 's written all over your face . you are crushing on liam spencer ! and yes , he 's married to steffy , but for how long ? steffy : i know you 're filing for divorce , but you have n't yet . brooke : i ca n't stand by bill after what he 's done , even though i love him and i probably always will . but your father and i , we do share a son , and i 've been a forrester most of my life . steffy : yeah , i get it . you got to do what 's best for you . but that being said , there is something you need to know , something that may change how you feel . brooke : what is it ? steffy : liam and bill have forgiven each other . bill : i want you on board with this , son . liam : on board with what ? the property belongs to sally . bill : the property belongs to the spencer trust , like most everything else in this company . liam : yes , and i signed it over to sally . she has the deed now . justin : exactly . no one can sign over anything from the trust without the signature of the trustee . bill : sally does n't own the property . spencer publications does . we do . sally : i do not have a crush on liam . shirley : well , you sure have that look about you . sally : he is a wonderful man . he 's helped me through some really difficult times . shirley : all of us , for that matter . you know what ? you were pretty impossible after tommy boy left the scene . sally : yes , and liam helped me get past that . shirley : [ sighs ] sally : he 's a friend . he 's kind , generous , sincere , trusting . shirley : you know , those are some pretty potent adjectives for a friend . sally : a friend who is married . i 'm trying to respect that . shirley : you need that man . we all do . and as for the princess , she 'll bounce back . sally : look , i have no great love for steffy , but i am not a homewrecker . shirley : you need to start thinking about your own home , girl . listen , stop thinking of steffy as anything other than what she is -- your number one rival . steffy : bill was in control when he walked in the office to confront liam , but it was tense . brooke : i can imagine . what happened ? steffy : yeah , he was there with justin and wyatt , and he somehow got someone to delete the recording of his confession , and liam was so upset . and then , like , bill approached liam , and we all did n't know what he was gon na do , but then he just -- he hugged him . brooke : just like that ? steffy : yeah . yeah , it was like a really beautiful moment . they forgave each other , and look , now they 're -- they 're working together . there 's , like , no revenge , no blackmail . brooke : wait . who 's running the company ? steffy : all three of them . bill , wyatt , and liam . brooke : and bill is good with that ? steffy : it was his decision . he wants peace in the family . that 's the most important thing to him . except having you back in his life . brooke : peace . peace in the family , huh ? hmm . liam : did we not just come to an understanding ? the three of us running the company together as equals ? we -- we signed documents . we have this in writing . or you gon na change that , too ? bill : absolutely not . i meant every word i said . family comes first . a lot of the programs you initiated , i 'm keeping them . but sky i will not give in on . wyatt : yeah , look , it 's called a compromise , liam . you get to keep some of the programs you put in place . dad gets to put up his building . bill : our building . this is a monument to each and every one of us . liam : and spectra just gets the wrecking ball ? bill : they can relocate , liam . wyatt : yeah , it 's not like it 's the end of their company , liam . liam : you ! how are you okay with this after everything he did to sally ? the fake review , the lie about caroline , torching their building , and destroying their collection . i mean , any of us care about fairness ? fairness ? anybody ? honor ? decency ? bill : we 're all about fairness , honor , and decency . even me . i 'm working on it , liam ! but gifting ? gifting a prime piece of downtown real estate to a woman who had nothing ? she did n't earn that . she was -- she was given it . now she 's a major landowner ? liam : what are you talking about , dad ? you were so threatened by the imminence of her success that you had to actually set her building on fire just to stop her momentum ! that 's how confident you were that she had earned it ! god , you -- you love to talk about how you built this empire with your own hands . well , guess what ? if somebody had been sabotaging you the way you sabotaged sally , none of us would be here right now . so do n't talk to me about `` earning it . `` you owe sally . you owe her . and i 'm not gon na let you do this . brooke : you were instrumental in bringing bill and liam together . i am impressed . and i 'm very grateful . steffy : well , i could n't let them ruin their relationship . bill loves his family . someone had to step in . brooke : it probably should have been me since i was married to him . steffy : still are until you file the papers . brooke : there is this incredibly gentle side to bill , and that is one of the reasons why i married him . steffy : brooke , he 's not the same man you walked out on . brooke : [ sighs ] and i 'm grateful for that . really , i am . but there 's still the side of him that 's very aggressive and very stubborn . steffy : but i really do think he 's learned his lesson . brooke : well , i hope so , 'cause i want this peace between bill and liam to last . liam : i knew i should n't have trusted that guy . bill : justin is n't the issue here . family 's the issue . and i want us all to stick together , especially on important issues . liam : like what ? the skyscraper ? bill : correct . liam : you know your love affair with this thing is -- is obsessive , right ? like , you give it a name , you talk to it like it 's your girlfriend . it 's freakin ' weird , man . wyatt : it is a little weird , dad . bill : all right , so i 'm a little weird . no problem . i can own that . i like to fly my freak flag . so ? that 's really not the point , is it ? let me school you boys . you think this building 's impressive ? well , this baby is gon na make us a major player in downtown real estate . and , liam , this should appeal to you . we 're going to give jobs to thousands of employees . we 're going to increase the value of the surrounding real estate -- stores , restaurants , shops . all the valuations go up . we are going to contribute to the growth and development of downtown los angeles . now please tell me what 's wrong with that . i will take notes . liam : sure ai n't good for the person who owns it . bill : it 's great for the person who owns it , because it 's us , not sally ! liam : not if you had signed and notarized the deal i made like you should . bill : that 's not gon na happen ! i 'm bringing it down ! how about this ? we 'll set aside some funds to relocate sally . how about that ? oh , come on , liam ! you got to meet me in the middle here ! work with me ! i meant what i said about family , right ? it 's time for you to grow up ! become a spencer man ! liam : dad , you know you do n't have to do this . you can build the thing elsewhere . bill : where ? anaheim ? but anaheim is not los angeles ! and it 's too far anyway ! liam : century city . wyatt : height ordinance . liam : santa monica ! bill : okay , enough ! enough ! i have looked at this from every angle ! and the perfect spot is on the spectra site downtown . now , i understand that this is upsetting for you , liam , but trust me when i tell you that years from now , you will look at that skyscraper , see the spencer name on top , and you will beam with pride , and so will your wife and children ! liam : no , they wo n't , because i 'm not letting you do it ! you 're not building that thing on the spectra lot ! bill : the hell i 'm not ! that building is coming down , and wyatt and i are standing firm on that ! liam : oh , oh , wyatt and you ? wyatt and you are -- [ sighs ] is that true ? hmm ? wyatt : all right , look . you 're my brother . liam : dude ... wyatt : and i love you . liam : [ scoffs ] wyatt : but you 've been running this company for only a short time . you made a lot of changes , some of them i agree with . dad is completely right about what he 's saying . no , you gifted that property to sally spectra , and it 's way too much ! plus you know how your wife feels about her . liam : uh , dude , i 'll handle my marriage , thanks . wyatt : i 'm just saying . liam : what are -- what are you just saying ? what are you just saying ? what are you saying ? that it 's just gon na be this way from now on ? you kissing dad 's butt all the time ? wyatt : oh , my -- liam : positioning yourself ? being his yes man ? think for yourself , bro ! tell him no ! this is insane ! wyatt : i would , but i do n't think this is insane . this is going to be our hub , our corporate headquarters . like he said , it 's gon na be our legacy . why -- why should n't it be impressive ? liam : if -- impr -- it 's not about impressive , wyatt ! it 's about ethics , okay ? ! sometimes the right thing is not the right thing for our business ! wyatt : liam , we run an international company here , not a charity shop ! liam : so ... what ? so just majority rules ? bill : majority rules . liam : i do n't care . i - i - i do n't care . i 'm not -- i 'm not on board with this . after everything that you put sally through , i am not letting you tear spectra fashions down . brooke : peace between bill and his sons . it 's hard to imagine . steffy : they 've all done some growing . brooke : and you ? things are good with you and liam ? steffy : yeah , we , uh , we have our challenges . brooke : sally spectra ? steffy : sally was the one who started the war between liam and bill . brooke : but she did n't torch a building . steffy : yeah , but liam did n't have to ride in on his white horse and rescue her . brooke : you know how he likes to root for the underdog . steffy : i know , i know . and that 's one of the reasons why i love him . but this time i think he just went a little too far . brooke : okay , but it 's all worked out between you and liam ? steffy : yeah , yeah , the situation worked itself out . brooke : oh , good . steffy : yeah , they 're all working together , and there 's no place for sally . her influence over my husband is finally over . sally : what are you doing ? shirley : i found this online . sally : grams ! shirley : your knight in shining armor , our savior . sally : take that down ! shirley : no ! after everything liam 's done for us , he deserves to be on the wall of fame . sally : we do n't have a wall of fame . shirley : come on , sally girl . we 're alone . you can open up to me . sally : okay . i admit it . yes . liam is the greatest man that i 've ever met . he 's turned my life around . shirley : and you deserve that , honey . [ sighs ] you suffered so much . you 've been let down so many times , and now you 've met a kind , decent man who treats you with respect . there are too few of them around . sally : he 's done the unbelievable . he 's helping make my dreams come true . shirley : and they will . you 'll see . sally : our building ! it 's ours ! spectra is back , grams , and it is all thanks to liam . bill : liam , i do n't want to fight with you . i want those days to be behind us . this is time for respect . liam : for whom ? just you ? wyatt : come on , liam . we 're keeping some of your programs . is n't that respect enough ? liam : no . [ chuckling ] no . bill : your brother 's right . we 've compromised a lot . now it 's time for you to do the same . listen , i am your father . i have built this company into what it is today . it 's been my life 's work , and i know what 's best for it , and i know what 's best for our family . liam : that 's fine , but what about sally ? you ruined her . you -- you admitted that you ruined her . now , do n't you owe her ? bill : out of hardship comes progress . sally will thrive wherever she lands . liam : you did n't answer my question . sally does n't want to land anywhere , dad . she wants to stay put where she was before you torched her building ! bill : you are fighting for this girl that you hardly know against me , your own father ! wyatt : did n't we make a pledge to put family first ? this is a family project . bill : the most significant project in a generation , and you 're standing in the way of it because you 're enamored to this pretty , little redhead ? liam : stop ! oh , stop it with the `` pretty , little redhead `` stuff . she 's a person . she 's a human being , and you have treated her unfairly . you have treated her with disrespect . am i wrong ? bill : point taken . there . you see ? i can learn from you . i have ! i 've even offered to help relocate her ! but -- but , liam , there is a limit to all this . what about loyalty to -- to me , to family , to your brother , to employees ? now , i am asking -- no , i am demanding -- i am demanding that as i have learned from you , you learn from me ! sky is going up on the spectra site , and i want you to accept it ! no , you know what i want ? i want you to be part of it , liam . i want you to be part of the greatest chapter in this family 's history ! we just got through a miserable time . i do n't want us to be at war with each other . i do n't ever want to go back to that . i want you to accept this , liam . you have to accept it . sally and her group , they 're going out . the spectra building is coming down . this beautiful edifice , it 's going up . i want you to be part of this . i want all of us to be part of it . you got to be smart about this . stop with this defense of sally and spectra . put it away . be done with it . be one of us . be a spencer . | liam says they are all supposed to be one but clearly he is out of the loop so he 'd like to know what is going on . bill says nothing has changed ; skye will be built on the spectra lot . sally tells grams that liam is not her boy but he did stop by to give them some news bill is back at work and head of the helm . grams says bill is a snake and he will find a way to get that property back from them . she reminds sally that she is crushed on liam and yes he is married but just for how long . sally says liam is not a crush ; he 's a good friend who has helped her through some tough times . grams says they need him . sally says she is not a friend of steffy 's but she also it not a home wrecker . grams tells her that she better be thinking about her own home and not worry about steffy . brooke tells steffy that it has been difficult breaking up with bill . steffy says yes and now two men are in love with her and she needs to make a decision . then she tells her that bill and liam have forgiven each other . peace was the most important thing to him . bill shakes liam up when he says sally does not own the property ; spencer publications does and he did not sign off for it to be given to sally . liam does not understand as they just signed the document . wyatt says they all win . liam gets to keep some of the practices he instigated within the company and bill gets to erect skye . bill says sally did not earn that special lot so he is not turning it over to her . liam rants that this is not fair . if someone had treated bill that way he would see they were punished . he is not going to let this happen . sally does deserve that space . |

[ storm chuckles ] storm : well , in the justice system , you ca n't play probabilities , because nothing is realistic . now , we 're not dealing with scientific truth , we 're dealing with human truth -- or rather , the perception of it . for example , taylor 's confession was tough , but it was done without legal counsel , it was emotional rather than factual -- and to be honest , nothing it says contradicts that what happened was a fatal accident . now , phoebe , if i put you on the stand , it means admitting that you perjured yourself to the police . phoebe : i know . i 'll do it . storm : are you sure ? because tartaro will make you out to be a liar . are you prepared for that ? harry : and if you lose the case , then that means phoebe basically confessed to whatever they want to pin on her . storm : so , no pressure , shane , but we have to make sure you 're solid . our defense basically comes down to you .
