[ baby chatter on monitor ] steffy : i know it bothers you that hope 's spending time with thomas . liam : well , yeah . i do n't like the idea of them being alone together , especially given his track record . steffy : they 're not alone . douglas is there . thomas is reconnecting with his son . liam : for what it 's worth , i did make it clear that i do n't think thomas should lose custody of douglas permanently . steffy : oh , i -- i know . brooke roped you into the whole failed adoption coup . liam : i know . that was -- that just ... it went too far . [ baby chatter ] steffy : you 're still wondering if my brother 's unstable . liam : [ scoffs ] steffy : yeah , i 'd be lying if i said it never crossed my mind . liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : there was times when i was worried he might lose his patience or get angry . but that thomas does n't exist anymore . he 's no longer a threat to anyone . hope : [ panting ] douglas ! douglas ! douglas ! douglas !

[ scene_break ] stephen : one little shove and you 'd be history , and people would line up to thank me . stephanie : probably , but you have n't got the guts to do it . stephen : just a minute ! stephanie : you 've just found out that your daughter was raped . i can see the pain in your eyes , and i 'm sorry it happened . i know i bear some responsibility . stephen : some ? ! stephanie : i have apologized and apologized . i had no idea what that man would do . i am so sorry ! stephen : well , it 's a little late for that , is n't it ? stephanie : stephen , look . all i 'm trying to do -- stephen : all your excuses and your so - called regrets do n't mean a damn thing to me , stephanie . the damage is already done . i could wring your neck right now and i would n't feel a thing . stephanie : i 'm sure . i know you 're angry , but what good does it do to take the anger out on me ? i 'm just trying to get you ... stephen : stop ! stephanie : to understand ...

( chuckles sarcastically ) and every other manny , moe and jack , right ? come on . take some responsibility . you abandoned your family because in your own mind , you could n't be compared to eric . you never thought you 'd make enough success , enough money , so you tucked your tail and you ran . you abandoned , you left your children . your girls have always , always gone after older father figures , because you were never there . i mean , is n't that what 's going on , really , here with donna and eric ? stephen : donna and eric ? stephanie : you did n't know ? oh , yeah . well , after thorne wised up to her , she set her sights on my husband . she 's sleeping with eric . does n't take too long , does it , for your girls to get right at it ? stephen : i do n't believe you . stephanie : it 's true . stephen : donna never said a word of any of this to me . stephanie : well , just ask her , stephen . she 'll tell you . she certainly has n't been shy about spreading the word . stephen : now stop changing the subject . you are not gon na get away with what you did to brooke . and this was just a warning !

[ scene_break ] ridge : it 's a pretty decent catalog . brooke : if every one of these designs is n't sold out the day of the show , i 'll be amazed . ridge : absolutely . my father 's work has gone to a whole new level . brooke : donna really lit a fire under him , and it shows . ridge : i just hope he 's not going down a path he 's gon na regret , though . brooke : ending his marriage to stephanie and starting fresh ? unless you think donna 's kidding herself ... ridge : my father 's not gon na string either one of them along . when that showstopper 's unveiled , he 's either gon na have mother or donna on his arm . and everyone 's gon na know who he 's gon na spend the rest of his life with . brooke : it 's a big decision , either way . you 're family 's gon na start a whole new chapter . ridge : our family ... which reminds me , you and i have a rather large decision of our own to make here . brooke : our wedding date . ridge : it 's gon na happen this time , too . brooke : especially now , since stephanie vowed not to interfere . nothing is going to stand in our way . [ scene_break ] donna : stephanie has tried to destroy us , i mean , she has tortured our mother for years , sent our father away to a different country , and what she took from brooke can never be repaid . it 's time that we take something from her -- the future here at forrester creations with the men we love . katie : brooke says that she thinks you and eric are for real . donna : oh , god , katie , it is real . we make each other happy . and when he takes his bow at the end of the runway , i hope to god that ... i 'm the woman by his side . i mean , finally ... finally there 's no more being on the outside looking in . and stephanie wo n't be able to touch us . that 's how it should be . ( door opening ) eric : so ... where were we ? donna : trying to convince katie that taking this job will be the best opportunity of her life . eric : well , it would . katie , you already know about brooke 's enormous contribution to the success of this company . donna 's well on her way to becoming indispensable around here . if you 're half as good as either one of your sisters , i would never regret making this offer . katie : okay . donna : ( laughs ) katie : it 's a deal , then . donna : yes ? all right ! eric : ( laughing ) really ? great ! katie : thank you . eric : oh , no , none of that . this is a family company ... katie : oh , great . eric : and a welcome . i 'm very , very pleased you 're joining us . katie : well , thank you . thank you for this opportunity . donna : hello ? what about me ? it was my suggestion .

[ sobs ] i thought , you know , maybe we should go and tell douglas the good news , but he just -- he would n't listen . he , um , he told me to forget about douglas . brooke : what ? hope : it -- it was horrible , not knowing where douglas was or if he was okay . brooke : i can imagine , honey . hope : so then i demanded to see douglas , but he said not until we were done celebrating . then i guess he saw the look of disgust on my face . i could n't hide it . and that 's when he snapped . that 's when he turned . that 's when he accused me of tricking him , of -- of not caring about him , about only caring about the custody . but i just -- i was scared to death for douglas . i did n't know . i mean , thomas said he had him in storage . i do n't know -- i did n't know what that meant ! i just knew that douglas was alone , and so i just -- i ran out of there as fast as i could , and i just -- i did n't know where he was . i did n't know where thomas was hiding him , so i was just running all throughout the hallways of forrester , calling out douglas ' name . douglas ? where are you ? and then thomas started chasing me , and he caught up to me in the storage area . he started demanding all these things of me -- that we should go back to the office , that i would n't be able to see -- i would n't be able to see douglas until after we were done . brooke : ohh . oh , honey , i 'm sorry . hope : he just kept getting closer and closer . he was coming on to me . brooke : this never should have happened . i told ridge that his son needs help . hope : it 's too late . brooke : no , you 're right . i do n't think all the help in the world is gon na fix that man . hope : no , it 's too late because ... because i reacted . brooke : well , i would hope that you reacted . i mean , you could n't just stand there and take that , right ? you did defend yourself . hope : we were on a catwalk , and he had me cornered . brooke : okay . hope : that 's where i pushed him . brooke : you pushed him , like , away from you ? you pushed him down to the ground ? you do n't mean that you pushed him off the catwalk . oh , honey . that 's terrible . at least you were able to get away and go look for douglas , right ? hope : you do n't understand . there was a vat . there was a vat , and i did n't know . i swear to god , mom , that i did n't know ! brooke : honey , what are you talking about ? i -- i do n't understand what you 're saying . hope : there was a vat that thomas fell into . it was a vat full of water , only it was n't -- it was n't water . it was n't water . it was n't water . oh , my ... brooke : what do you mean , it was n't water ? then what was it ? hope , my god , tell me ! what the hell happened ? ok everyone ! steffy : i 'm worried about that , too . i do n't think hope would deliberately take advantage of thomas . ridge : [ scoffs ] steffy : but brooke would . and she 's proven that by having the adoption papers drawn up . [ sighs ] ridge : yeah . you 're not , um , you 're not wrong about that . should have heard brooke tonight . she made it very clear that she did n't think thomas could raise douglas . even now , even living with me , living with his grandfather . i do n't know how to get through to her . steffy : you can't . she 's focused on giving hope what she wants . i 'm sorry this caused you so much trouble . ridge : it 's been hard , you know ? it 's been really hard , and i think it 's only gon na get harder . but i have to believe we can -- we can get through this , so ... steffy : maybe if you put your ring on , that might help . i do n't know . ridge : how would you feel ? i mean , how d -- taking the ring off was so hurtful to me . and something changed , but i -- i will -- i will try . i 'll try to put my ring on and we 'll move back in and ... but she has to accept my son first . steffy : i do n't know , dad . he 's basically dead to her . ridge : well , if that 's where we are , then we have a problem because thomas is my son . he will always be my son , and he will never be dead to me . hope : douglas was my only concern . fi - finding him . so after i pushed thomas away , i ran . i ran all throughout the hallways of forrester , calling douglas ' name . douglas ! douglas ? douglas ! and i finally found him . oh , my gosh . hidden in a dressing room , playing video games . douglas : where 's daddy ? hope : asking for his dad . brooke : oh , my god . hope : i did n't know what to say . i mean , i did n't fully understand at the time , either , and -- but then charlie showed up and said that he was working late on a special assignment because there was hazardous waste in the building . mom ... the vat ... the vat that thomas fell into , it was n't water . it was -- it was hydrofluoric acid . brooke : what ? hope : [ sobs ] brooke : the vat was ... hope : i know . i know , i know , i know . and as soon as i found out , i ran back , and , sure enough , there were signs posted everywhere warning about the acid , but i did n't see them because i was being chased . [ sobbing ] so it was like i was in a horror movie . it was dark , and i grabbed the flashlight off the wall . i was n't sure what i would find . [ bubbling , sizzling ] if the acid had ... eaten away at his body or ... brooke : oh , my god . oh , my god . hope : he -- he was ... he w - was gone . the -- the body was already gone . brooke : oh , my god . oh , my god . hope : i killed him . oh , my ... i did n't -- i did n't know ... brooke : honey , you ... hope : i k -- i killed thomas . | ridge visits steffy and plays with kelly , but says thomas needs him now . douglas is not going to lose his father . hope takes douglas to brooke 's . before they go in he asks if his dad will be here as she said she was going to take him home . hope tells her mom douglas might be staying for a sleepover . brooke is surprised but says things must have gone well with thomas for him to agree to that . she asks him about his dinner and he enjoyed that but says his dad took him away to a room to play video games before he had dessert . brooke questions hope about that of why thomas would do that and leave him all alone . hope says she would never have left him alone but thomas said he made arrangements . hope keeps seeing thomas falling into the vat . douglas says he is pretty tired so they agree to put him to bed . brooke will tuck him in and hope will go home but come back and they will discuss everything . ridge asks steffy how did she know that thomas and hope were having dinner tonight . she says through liam and it was important that the girls spent more time together as sisters . ridge does n't care where liam works . he can sit and stare at bill spencer all day if he wants to . he 's just glad that he is still in steffy 's life . |

[ chuckles ] he has to come up with this brilliant idea of a sit - in . and -- and participated in it . now , who does that ? you know who does that ? your neo- hippie brother , that 's who . wyatt : i do n't know why he feels the need to have to right your wrongs . bill : he should have just stayed out of it ! put his focus on his marriage instead of getting caught up in sally ! coco : well , your feelings for liam did n't just happen overnight . sally : it was gradual . at first i was just grateful for the lifeline . coco : liam 's been incredibly supportive . sally : you have no idea . after the fire , c.j . wanted an easy out , so he sold the building to spencer publications . liam felt so bad about ... what happened to us that he turned around and he gifted the building to me . coco : seriously ? sally : that 's when i think i started to fall in love with liam . and it was n't because of the money that he spent . it was because of his goodness . i have never met a man like liam ever . liam : i 'm so sorry , steffy . if -- if -- if i had it to do again ... steffy : sally said she loves you ? liam : yes . steffy : did you tell her you love her , too ? liam : no , no . of course not . i love you , only you . steffy : but you did n't tell her that . i mean , you did n't even mention my name , because if i got the timing right , that 's when you started kissing her . liam : she kissed me , but yeah , i - i kissed her back . steffy : [ sighs ] how could you ? liam : it was a moment , but i never stopped loving you ! you understand ? you have to believe that . steffy : i do n't know what to believe about us anymore . i know you love me . but you have feelings for sally , too . bill : best thing that could happen to liam 's marriage is for sally spectra to pack up and leave town . i mean , maybe then he 'd at least have a shot of getting that part of his life back on track . wyatt : yeah , well , what about the part that includes you ? bill : steffy thinks with , uh , time , patience , her help , she could salvage our relationship . she did it before . we went from all - out warfare to hugging it out right here in this office . wyatt : i remember . it was a great moment . i 'm glad i witnessed it . bill : we were starting over from a really good place . and liam had to throw it all away again in the defense of sally spectra . sally : you look shellshocked . coco : i am . liam giving you the spectra building is huge . but it 's not surprising when you think about it . he 's nothing like his father . he cares about people . sally : and animals and the universe . coco : and you . sally , liam cares about you . sally : he 's an amazing friend . and his loyalty and commitment , it is nothing like i 've ever experienced before . coco : yeah , but you told him that you loved him . sally : yeah . i have strong feelings for liam . coco : you do n't have to pretend with me . it 's not like you can anyway . it 's all over your face . and it 's in your voice , the way you talk about him . you 're in love with liam . liam : the one i have feelings for is you . i just made a mistake . steffy : you kissed her . liam : i know . and i messed up , and i let you down , and i let myself down . i know . steffy : i ca n't even get this image out of my mind . liam : it was a life - or - death moment , steffy . steffy : but you think that makes it okay ? ! it does n't ! liam : no , that 's ... that 's not what i 'm saying . it 's not an excuse . there 's no excuse . it 's just ... it 's just what happened . sally had been so mistreated by my dad for so long , and -- and he was the whole reason that we were under that rubble in the first place , and i just -- i - i do n't -- i do n't know . i saw it as a way to comfort her before we both died ! steffy : unbelievable ! in what you thought were your last moments on earth , all you cared about was comforting sally ! well , what about me ? ! what about your wife ? ! did you even spare a thought for me ? ! liam : okay . i 'm -- i 'm not explaining this right . it 's ... [ sighs ] damn it , steffy , i - i do n't even understand what happened ! i do n't know ! there 's no logical explanation for it , okay ? all i know is that i love you . i love you . and i want a future with you . and i want a family with you , if that 's even possible . and if it 's not , it 's -- it 's fine as long as we 're together . steffy : what do you want me to say ? ! i never questioned your loyalty , not once ! i always counted on you to never betray me ! liam : you have my loyalty . steffy : no , you put your family , you put your father , you put the company , and now you put me second to your cause , to her . to her ! sally spectra ! my worst enemy ! bill : it was the worst moment of my life , wyatt , realizing that liam was still in that building . i mean , if something had happened to him , how would i have -- wyatt : do n't even go there , all right ? nothing happened to him . he 's fine . bill : and angrier than ever . some rational part of me thought that this would somehow bring us closer , but instead he wants nothing to do with me . wyatt : maybe you 're just asking too much of him too soon . you ever think about that ? bill : that 's what steffy says . `` be patient . give it time . `` who am i to argue ? she has n't been wrong so far . that 's amazing , the lengths that she will go to save my relationship with liam . she 's incredible . coco : you must have been terrified underneath all that , thinking you and liam were gon na die . sally : never been more petrified in all of my life . coco : can you talk about it ? sally : [ sighs ] well , the explosion knocked me out . so the first thing i remember was liam calling my name . when i came to , it was dark , and there was rubble everywhere , and i can still hear the water dripping , and i can taste the dust and the smoke . and i thought , `` this is hell . this is hell . i have died and i have gone to hell . `` but then i looked over at liam , and i knew that i was alive and i was n't alone . but i hurt everywhere , and i was panicking , and liam was so incredible , even in the face of death , and both of us were feeling it , but he talked me out of my fears , and he was just saying wonderful things to me , like how i was talented and ... i was a fighter . coco : he 's right . sally : that 's when i decided just to be honest with him , tell him that i loved him . coco : what did he say ? sally : nothing . not with words . so that 's when i kissed him . he kissed me back , and suddenly i forgot about dying . there was just this moment , and i was in it . now we 're back to reality , and i just want liam and steffy to get past this confession that he 's making . coco : you really want things between them to work out ? i 'm just thinking , if they do , steffy is not gon na let liam anywhere near you . you may never see him again . liam : steffy , you are second to no one . steffy : [ voice breaking ] oh , my god . where have i heard that before ? oh , right . all the times that i had to compete with hope , and nothing i ever did was good enough . liam : that 's not true . steffy : it is true ! hope won every time , up until she left for paris ! and you know what 's so crazy ? it 's like i could actually deal with that because she 's a decent human being ! sally is not ! she 's a liar , and she 's a thief , and she used me ! did it not occur to you that fighting her battles would upset me ? it should have ! because i told you that over and over again , but clearly my feelings do n't compare to her pain , her constant victimization ! [ sighs ] liam : steffy , she was victimized . steffy : oh , my god . oh , my god ! even now you ca n't stop yourself from defending her ! all of this time , i have been playing peacemaker , trying to repair the damage you caused in sally 's name while you were -- what , what ? -- flirting with each other ? liam : no . steffy , never . steffy : you know what ? maybe it was all this power . suddenly you had it -- the recording , c.e.o . -- and then it was all taken away . big letdown , huh ? except you had sally . liam : you 're -- you 're making this sound like i had an affair or something . steffy : just the first excuse you had -- you kissed her . liam : damn it , we thought we were going to die ! steffy : and that makes it okay to be unfaithful ? ! how long have you been unhappy with me ? liam : i 'm -- i 'm not . steffy : well , you must be to go and make out with sally . liam : steffy , i let a moment -- i let one moment get away from me . steffy : oh , liam . you 're in denial . god , you have feelings for sally , otherwise you would n't have gotten so involved . so what are you gon na do ? what , are you gon na buy her another building ? you 're gon na help her re - create spectra fashions ? liam : i 'll put an end to it . steffy : [ scoffs ] liam : i will . i 'll -- i 'll put an end to all of it . steffy : you think long and hard before you do . sally 's been your passion , your cause . maybe you should just go and be with her . sally : you 're right . once steffy finds out that liam and i kissed , she will keep him away from me . and i will miss him terribly , and i will long for just one more easy moment between us . but that wo n't happen ever again , because steffy is who liam wants to be with . coco : it just does n't seem right . you 're taking the blame for everything . sally : [ scoffs ] yeah , but if that 's the cost of liam 's happiness , then ... i 'm willing to pay . bill : you know , when things first got bad between liam and me , steffy was brilliant . she walked the line between support and disapproval . but she never judged me . she 's the only one who did n't judge me . wyatt : you do n't have to tell me how incredible steffy is . i know . bill : why is n't liam being more considerate of her feelings ? why is n't he giving his attention to his wife instead of giving it all away to sally spectra ? steffy : sally 's where you 've been putting all your time and energy the last few months . maybe you want to be with her . liam : that 's ridiculous . steffy : you wrote your father off . [ sniffles ] maybe you should write me off , too , and have a life with sally . liam : stef -- steffy , the life i want -- the life i want is here with you . steffy : why ? i 'm not an underdog . i do n't need rescuing , while sally 's out there all dazed and confused . she needs your help . liam : i - i went too far . i got -- i got too involved . steffy : you know , the man i married would be -- he 'd be screaming for my name if he thought he was dying , not kissing another woman . it 's like , my god . the thought of it disgusts me ! [ sobbing ] you touching another woman , you -- you being tender with her . that should be me , your wife ! how dare you cheapen what we have ? [ sighs ] [ breathing heavily ] no ! . liam : i screwed up . i know that . steffy : [ sniffles ] liam : but i want to fix it , and i can change . i can . steffy : there would have to be a lot of changes , liam . you would have to put your father first , your brother , me -- your wife . and until i believe you 're ready to do that ... i need time . liam : what are you tal -- what do you mean , time , steffy ? steffy : i love you , liam . i love you . but i do n't deserve this . [ sobbing ] i have been nothing but loyal and -- and supportive , even when i thought you were dead wrong . and then you go and you do something like this ? no , i - i need -- [ sighs ] i need time to think , whether you 're the man that i want to be with . and you need time to think , too . liam : i do n't need time . i do n't need to think . i want to work through this . steffy : i never thought i 'd say this . but you disgust me . liam : steffy -- steffy : i 'm disgusted . liam : stef -- [ door opens ] steffy : [ breathing heavily ] | liam tells a stunned steffy that he is so sorry the circumstances were extreme and he and sally thought they were going to die . but this has nothing to do with his feelings for steffy and he is asking her to please forgive him . he never stopped loving her and he wants her to believe that . wyatt tells bill that he does n't want to be negative but he does n't see him and liam singing kumbaya . they have been at odds for months and only back together like one second . bill says liam should have just stayed focused on his marriage and not hook up with sally . coco listens as sally explains how she came to own the spectra building and then found out later bill still owned it . she has never known a man like liam . bill tells wyatt they did go from all out war to hugging right here in the office but liam threw that all away because of sally spectra . coco tells sally that liam is nothing like his father as he does care about people , animals , just about everything . she does not have to pretend with her ; she sees sally is in love with liam . liam says he only loves steffy and he made a mistake . it was a life or death moment . she says that does not make it okay . he knows it is no excuse but it is what happened . he saw it as a way they could cope before they died . she cries that he could not even spare a thought for her in that moment . he keeps repeating that he loves only her and wants a future with only her . wyatt tells bill that he is expecting too much too soon with liam . nothing happened so do not keep going back there . |

[ telephone rings ] ridge : speak of the devil . spencer . yeah ? bill : i need to see you in my office . oh , and , uh , bring katie and brooke with you . sorry . ridge ? mcmullen , as well . ridge : i do n't think that 's possible . bill : now . ridge : well ... he wants to see us . all of us . justin : judge mcmullen 's career is over . he and ridge are headed to the penitentiary . oh , and when that happens , brooke will finally be yours . the hard work you put into lowering your donna : just to be clear , i had no idea pam was gon na ask you to give me a job . eric : you know , pam , i have to say , i 'm very surprised that you would suggest this . i remember when the two of you worked together years ago . you did not approve of donna . pam : no , i definitely did not . i mean , you know i was not your biggest fan , donna . i mean , i was very protective of stephanie 's relationship with you , eric . and sadly now , steph 's gone . i now see that donna really did love you . i mean , i 'm sure you probably still care about him a great deal . you know , you were married once . it 's only natural you 'd have warm feelings . but as far as the company is concerned , i mean , that 's a natural , too , right there . i mean , she 'd fit great in the company and in the family . donna : pammy , you 're embarrassing me . pam : you 're exactly what we need right now , donna . i do n't think you could have come back to l.a. at a better time . eric : i have to say , pam makes a very compelling case . donna : i hope she 's not putting you on the spot . pam : it really makes total sense , eric , if you think about it , right ? i mean , donna knows her way around here . she could do the job blindfolded . and katie and brooke would be so happy to have their sister back at work . i think you still have fond feelings for her , right ? eric : oh , donna 's one of my all - time favorite people . pam : so , then ... ? what do you say ? i mean , i think hiring donna could be a game - changer for all of us . brooke : thank you . ridge : where 's spencer ? alison : mr. spencer will be here with you shortly . thorne : well , it 's just like spencer to make us wait . katie : well , we would n't be here at all if it were n't for you . either of you . i swear to god , if i lose my son over this ... brooke : there 's no point in arguing . let 's just wait and see what bill has to say . thorne : i know exactly what he 's going to say . he 'll be holding this over our heads for god knows how long . ridge : we 're not gon na let that happen . craig : i should be on the phone with a good lawyer instead of standing here waiting to be thrown to the lions . katie : it 's probably part of his plan . thorne : maybe we should all stop talking . i would n't put anything past spencer . justin : good . you 're all here . bill : [ clears throat ] ridge : what do you want ? bill : are you playing coy with me , ridge ? you know exactly what this is about . you . you and your boy here , the honorable craig mcmullen . turns out you 're not so honorable after all . are you , craig ? i could n't understand it . i could n't understand it at all when you made your decision in my custody hearing . i could n't fathom how you could justify stripping me of my parental rights . it was n't justice . it was n't justice at all . it was a conspiracy -- violating due process , tampering with a judge ? naughty . and more than that , it was a crime . a very punishable crime . ridge : [ clears throat ] that 's speculation . you do n't have any proof . craig : we committed conspiracy , ridge , and my expensive legal education warned me that that 's what you were proposing when you strolled in and perched yourself on the other side of my desk . bill : gotcha . | ridge suddenly realizes he is being watched and runs after bill and his vehicle . judge mcmullen is right behind and blames all of this on ridge for getting them in trouble . bill tells justin they deserved to get caught . they fell for the wrong text like hook , line and sinker . thorne asks katie and brooke what is wrong . as they are talking ridge runs in with mcmullen and says bill knows . justin shows bill the texts and says they have it all on record , everything they need to know and can prove against ridge and the judge . the forrester phones are ringing off the wall since the showing and pam is up to her chin . donna tells her to settle down . she 's just upset at quinn . she takes over the phone to give a frazzled pam a break . eric senses something amiss with quinn and she says nothing important but pam still is upset with her about the wedding . eric says pam is family and should be treated as such and he expects quinn to lead the way . katie rails into ridge of doing such a dumb thing . ridge says bill knows now what he knows , nothing they can do about it now . justin tells a gloating bill that the judge could be behind bars and ridge right there with him . pam and donna laugh and admit they hated each other but made a good team . eric walks out and wonders why donna is there . pam starts to tell him that perhaps she has a solution for all the wild phone calls . he needs another receptionist and she has one in mind . she looks toward donna and eric even smiles . |
hector : i did n't mean it to sound like your husband 's not here , so it 's -- it 's not like that . taylor : i know . hector : i have n't hidden anything from you . taylor : but i have . i lean on you when i need someone . when things are n't going very well for me . and then when things are better at home , i push you away . i tell you that your friendship is important to me , but i do n't tell you how attracted i am to you . and you deserve better . hector : better than you ? taylor : better than this . i 've invested a lot of years into my marriage . and you 'd think it 's a losing battle . but if i 'm going to give myself to someone like you , then i do n't want it to be like this , i do n't want it to be after having too much champagne and my husband being out of town . i do n't want to come out of a place of weakness . if i was going to be with someone like you , it should be out of a place of strength . oh , great , did i just hear the limo drive away ? hector : sounded like somebody was pulling up . what kind of car does ridge drive ? [ scene_break ] bridget : no , nick . how many times do we have to do this ? mom says no , so you tell me you love me . mom says she has a problem , you tell her , you love her . nick : bridget , please . you want to make this about the truth ? let 's do . let 's make it all about the truth . let 's all get off the merry - go - round together , shall we ? bridget : well , when ? how ? nick : i dragged your mother onto my boat the other day . and i took her out to the middle of the ocean so she had no place to run . brooke : nick , do n't . nick : i was thinking exactly what you were thinking right now . i just want to get this all out , get it all over with . it 'll make everything right . but that 's not what happened . bridget : what did happen ? nick : nothing . bridget : nothing ? nick : nothing happened . and nothing ever will . [ scene_break ] ridge : oh , you 're awake . taylor : oh , you 're home . everything okay in big bear ? what happened ? ridge : everything 's fine there . kids are fine . i heard you were brilliant tonight with the press . taylor : it was okay . ridge : just so you know , i am an idiot . i should 've been there . this little stunt my mother has pulled , yanking the company out from under me . but for the life of me , i do n't know why i would blame you for that . taylor : well , spite can be very appealing . ridge : yeah . hey , did you know there was a limo waiting outside ? i thought thorne or somebody was probably up here with you . oh , looks like he 's leaving . guess he just had some paperwork to fill out . taylor : no , actually , he was waiting for hector . [ scene_break ] bridget : did you know about this , dad ? eric : uh - huh . brooke told me . bridget : i do n't get it . eric : i guess brooke needed to prove to herself that what she had with me was what she really wanted in her life . brooke : all that nick can ever be to me is the father of your child . bridget : oh great , so we 're back to being my fault , why the two of you ca n't be happy together . nick : you know , happiness shifts , bridget . i ca n't say i 'm the same man i 've always been . i 'm going to be a father . things change . bridget : even the love of your life ? nick : yes . bridget : did you hear that , dad ? how does that make you feel ? the two of them stand here , and tell us that they were in love once , but now they need a plan `` b , `` and that would be us . eric : you know , wanting what you ca n't have is the most natural thing in the world . we 're all kind of born that way . the hard thing is learning what 's within your grasp , and that 's the real trick . you want to be nick 's one and only love of his life , and you ca n't be , so now you 've told yourself , you do n't want him at all . [ scene_break ] ridge : why would the driver wait for hector here ? taylor : he came home with me . ridge : why ? what , he hear my car coming , just bolted down the backstairs there ? he being a coward ? taylor : i did n't want to make a huge scene , so i told him to go down the backstairs . he was leaving anyway , if that makes any kind of a difference to you . ridge : does it ? taylor : we spilled some champagne in the car . ridge : oh , you two were drinking champagne ? taylor : we had to come back up here and get cleaned up . ridge : in this room ? taylor : we did not have sex . ridge : what did you have ? you do n't exactly look dressed for tea . taylor : ridge , being sarcastic is not going to help right now . ridge : did he try and kiss you again ? did he want more ? did you ? taylor : you know , please , do n't blame hector . he was only -- ridge : doing what any man would want to do . taylor : that 's really not fair . he does n't treat me like i 'm some kind of a pick - up . ridge : no , i 'm sure he did n't . you know , taylor , with all the amazing qualities that you have , i do n't think there 's a man in the world that would want to spend an hour with you . he 'd want an entire lifetime . and for me to be that man that you 've chosen , i should be down on my knees thanking god everyday . i was far too childish to be the man and the husband that you needed tonight . so hector stepped in . i have to do better . and i will do better . because i could n't take losing you again . [ scene_break ] eric : okay , i 'm going to say out loud for everyone to hear what 's obvious to me . nick is never going to love you exactly the same that he loved brooke . but why ca n't you trust the way he loves you ? bridget : because i 'm not you , dad . i do n't want to be with someone who wishes he was with someone else . eric : he does n't . you heard him . bridget : i 've heard it all before , dad . i came here with the simple , obvious solution of what 's making the four of us so miserable . and now you turn it on me like i 'm the problem . you all are very clever at making me feel foolish . being happy is n't about who has the best argument . eric : it 's not about being alone . ah , sweetie , you can be a proud , proud girl . you can raise this baby all by yourself . and you can do it , i know that . but that accomplishment is n't going to be everything . and it is n't going to help you when you 're in your bed all by yourself -- alone . real people have real needs and real pasts . and if you 're waiting for somebody who 's a blank slate on whom you can write your name and have nobody else 's name there , you 'll wait a long time . [ scene_break ] ridge : we 're gon na be okay . taylor : i guess that depends on us . ridge : i 've got to get my head on straight . that 's the first thing to do . hector was just a symptom , doc . i -- i felt hijacked , having this company yanked out from under me by my own mother . in the process , she hijacked you , too . taylor : i 'm right here . i have n't gone anywhere . ridge : yeah , but i did . feel like i had to put some distance between myself and that thing i felt i 've been robbed of . taylor : well , you have to remember , your mother 's felt like she 's been robbed , too . ridge : you know , there were a dozen ways she could 've battled it out with dad . but she chose to do the one thing she knew would do the most damage to brooke . you know , i feel like i had a right to live out my career there . i feel like i had a right to succeed my dad . taylor : yes , yes . i admit that stephanie has been enjoying having brooke in her sights , and she 's made some very strange decisions . that 's not to say that she wo n't be making more , but you know , she has some really good ideas . ridge : look , i 'm really not accusing you of anything . i -- i can see why this whole opportunity appealed to you . this whole woman thing , it really does have merit . i mean , it appeals to a whole market that we 've never tapped into . and i think if i were in charge , which rightfully , i should be , we probably would go for it . i 'd probably even dedicate a whole line to that . but to just give up everything that this company has been based on for something that 's so unknown to us , it just seems like we 're inviting a catastrophe . taylor : ridge , you know that if your mother ran into any kind of trouble , she would ask for whatever needs to made , whatever changes have to be done . ridge : wait , wait , hold on . my mother , changing her mind because of real facts ? does n't really matter , doc . because i 'm going to change her mind anyway . taylor : how ? ridge : by taking the company back . [ scene_break ] bridget : dad , i 'm not afraid of being alone , and i 'm not afraid of raising a child alone . but i would be scared to death to raise a child and have her think for one minute that she has to put up with insult or humiliation in the name of love . eric : bridget , no one 's averse to standing up for yourself . you 've done that very successfully with nick . clearly , he respects you for it . i think that the future that the two of you can have together would be served very well by that . bridget : dad , there is no nick and me . we 're married on paper , but that 's all . that 's all . there 's no romance , there 's no ring , there 's no trust . that 's all gone . nick : it 's not gone . it 's just misplaced . bridget : you 're carrying my ring ? nick : you called , you said you wanted to see me . bridget : did you honestly think that i would ask for it back ? nick , we 're broken . we ca n't be fixed . brooke : honey , you are so smart in so many ways . but maybe not yet about motherhood . your needs will change . they 're changing right now , and you 're not even aware of it . your ideas of happiness will change . the way you feel about me , the way you feel about your father , the things that you 've had to do to forgive us . and the way you feel about nick and your commitment to him .

[ scene_break ] ms. tartaro : on the night in question , dr. hayes got into her car , after consuming alcohol , and struck down her own sister - in - law , darla forrester . what dr . hayes did that night left darla 's husband stricken with grief and his little girl without a mother . but it 's what she did n't do that may be even more shocking . if there was really nothing dr . hayes could have done to avoid her victim , she would have come forward . but she did n't . instead , she chose to lie . she lied to her victim 's husband , she lied to her own family , and most importantly , she lied to the lapd . now , you must ask yourselves , `` are those the actions of an innocent person ? `` storm : dr. hayes had no intention of leaving her home that night , but her teenage daughter was stranded alone on pch . and at the very moment that phoebe called her mother for help , phoebe was approached by a stranger , a homeless man who came out of the dark . phoebe was frightened and she dropped her cell phone . now , i ask you , if you were in dr . hayes ' place , what would you do ? would you let the glass of wine keep you from rushing to your daughter 's aid ? i do n't think so . was it the smartest decision ? maybe not . but it was an understandable decision , and it certainly was not the cause of darla forrester 's death . as a matter of fact , we have an eyewitness -- an eyewitness who will testify that darla forrester fell back into the road at the very moment that dr. hayes came around the curve . darla forrester 's death was a tragic , but unavoidable , accident . now , the prosecution talked about the victim 's daughter losing a mother . i agree . there 's possibly nothing worse that could happen to a child . but if you send dr . hayes to jail for this , you will be robbing three more children of their mother . this woman before you is not the monster that the prosecution wants you to see . dr. taylor hayes is a loving , caring mother who made a couple of very regrettable mistakes . and i know -- i know that when you 've heard our witness , when you really understand what happened , i know you 'll make the right decision and set dr. hayes free . judge owens : ms. tartaro , prosecution may present its case . ms. tartaro : i know you 're busy people , and you want to get back to your lives , so i 'll make this as straightforward as i can . rather than stand here and tell you what i think happened that night , i 'll let the defendant tell you herself . your honor , i 'd like to present evidence , exhibit one , the signed confession of dr. taylor hayes . judge owens : bailiff , present this to the jury . ms. tartaro : it 's all there in black and white . the defendant admits to drinking , driving and killing her sister - in - law . she takes full responsibility for darla forrester 's death . storm : your honor , counsel was n't present at the time that confession was made . ms. tartaro : dr. hayes waived that right . judge owen : the prosecution may continue . ms. tartaro : do i really need to say anything else ? the defendant has admitted her guilt . i 'm just asking you to hold her to it .

( donna remembering ) stephen : and what about stephanie ? eric : stephanie and iare separated . stephen , i 'm in love with your daughter . donna : oh ! come in , come in . katie : what is going on ? is it an emergency , or wh -- donna : i have the most incredible news . eric loves me . he loves me ! he wants me in his arms at the fashion show . brooke : oh , really ? wow . congratulations . donna : is n't that incredible ? katie : i 'm thrilled that you 're so happy , and i do n't want to rain on your parade , i just -- we should think of this from a p.r . perspective . we 're really trying to promote a positive image for forrester creations and keep the focus on the collection . are you sure that this is the right time ? donna : duh ! yes , of course , i 'm sure . katie : walking down the runway with eric during his family 's big comeback -- this could backfire on us big - time . if nothing else , it 's gon na distract from the clothes , and think about what it 's gon na do to his family . thorne and felicia are not gon na be happy . [ scene_break ] felicia : oh , you 're killing me . no way . if their name is not on the list , they 're not getting in . jake : you do n't want the seats too close . these lights -- they 're gon na get hot . thorne : okay . i 'll be right back . jake : yeah . thorne : is this about ready ? felicia : gettin ' there . is that jake mclaine ? thorne : yeah , he 's working here again . felicia : that 's not a problem for you ? thorne : that 's water under a very old bridge , okay ? he did ask about you . felicia : my plate is full right now with work and dominick . ex - boyfriends are very low on the priority list . thorne : mm - hmm . ridge : how we doing here ? felicia : press is chomping at the bit . thorne : yes , and , let 's see . rick and ashley are ready with the lineup . the only question is mom and dad . ridge : well , dad 's on his way over to the hotel right now . felicia : that 's great . ridge : i 'm not so sure about that . felicia : no , it 's their ritual -- good luck martinis the night before the show . mom 's gon na be here tomorrow , where she belongs . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i just thought you might come by . please . i had them bring up the makings for martinis . eric : our tradition . stephanie : well , is n't this how we 've always spent the night before a show ? you know , savoring the moment , great anticipation . i 'm glad that tonight is n't any different . ridge : felicia , i do n't think we should get our hopes up . i do n't know what dad 's decided . thorne : why ? did you get a bad vibe ? ridge : yeah , thorne , i did . felicia : dad will not throw away all of those years of marriage on donna logan . that 's absurd . ridge : well , i think he may have done that already , and i think that 's what he 's telling mother . felicia : well , then we have to go over there , and we have to talk to him . ridge : no , felicia , it 's too late . felicia : you tried ? ridge : no , i did n't try . felicia : so you just let him go ? ridge : look , if he wants to be with donna -- thorne : look . he can not bring donna to this showing . it will humiliate mother . felicia : we 'll be an international joke . thorne : yeah , and the woman i almost married can not be my stepmother . felicia : i got ta call him . ridge : no , felicia , do n't do that . thorne : we got ta do something , ridge . ridge : look . we got ta respect his choice . it 's his life . he never got in the way of our happiness , did he ? so why should we get in the way of his ? [ scene_break ] donna : if eric 's children really love him , they 'll want him to be happy , and he is . katie : okay . i 'm not debating that , but let 's be realistic . you almost married thorne . do n't you think he 's gon na have a little tiny problem with this ? donna : okay , fine . i regret using thorne for revenge , but i am grateful that you stopped the wedding before i went through with it . i mean , if you had n't spoken up , i would n't be planning my future with this incredible guy -- katie : oh , no , no . i do n't want any credit for that , thanks . donna : katie , i 'm trying to thank you . jeez , you 're the one who said to hold out for love , and i did n't get it , but now i do . `` good enough `` is n't good enough . yeah , everyone deserves something great . now i 've got it . brooke : and so does eric . katie : well , i guess he 's a lucky guy . both : ( giggling ) [ scene_break ] stephanie : well , tell me all about it . i mean , i know technically i 'm -- i 'm not supposed to be part of it . eric : it 's my show . stephanie : it always has been , rric . but this show has to be your biggest success . i think it will be . eric : i hope so . stephanie : i just hope you 'll keep your eye on one very important thing -- the show . it means everything . it 's so important , you know , to you , to the success of the company , and i just think that perhaps if you , you know , go forward with making some sort of , you know , public choice between donna and me , it 'll be just a distraction . eric , it 's not what the public and the press are coming to see . they 're coming to see you . you -- the designer par excellence , the man who 's back finally at the helm of the company that he created , that he made such a success . you know , the rest of it all we can work out later , as we always have . stephanie : what ? eric : i 'm sorry , stephanie . stephanie : what do you mean ? [ scene_break ] brooke : oh , i 'm so glad my sisters are back together again . stormy , what are you doing here ? storm : i just ran into dad . he told me something i did n't know about you . something that happened . is it true -- were you ? storm : ( exhales sharply ) i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . why did n't you tell me ? brooke : no . storm : why did i have to hear it from dad ? brooke : i - i - i could n't tell anybody . i could n't . not at first . storm : what do you mean ? before you found out stephanie was involved ? look , brooke , listen to me . she needs to be in prison . i 'd really like you to press charges against her . donna : stephanie is getting the punishment she deserves . storm : how ? donna : eric is leaving her . storm : so what 's that got to do with this ? katie : because of what she did to brooke , he ca n't stay with her . donna : he 's telling her right now . he 's leaving stephanie for me . [ scene_break ] felicia : dad 's getting ready to make the second - biggest mistake of his life , and you want us to just accept it ? thorne : second - biggest ? felicia : donna logan , sheila carter ... thorne : you see , ridge ? how many times has dad been let down by mother , and how many times has he walked away ? it never worked out . felicia : they belong together . ridge : you know who you sound like right now ? felicia : they 're both gon na end up getting hurt . ridge : maybe so , and it probably wo n't be very good for the company either , but that 's all dad 's call . thorne : so you 're going to support him on this ? felicia : yeah , because of what happened to brooke . mother showed a side of herself i did n't particularly want to see . i think dad feels the same way . felicia : mother did not violate brooke . andy johnson did . ridge : look , felicia , i know you want to stand up for mother , but -- thorne : but what , ridge ? so she should lose everything that she cares about -- her husband , her business , her family ? felicia : she 's our mother , ridge . ridge : and i love her . i 'm sure in some way dad still does , too , but at sompoint you have to make a decision on what 's acceptable here . what mother did to brooke was way over that line . her obsession took everything way over the edge . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i made a terrible mistake , but it does n't have to end our marriage like this . eric : it 's been over for a long time now , stephanie . maybe even longer than i realized . stephanie : i should have left ridge and brooke alone -- i know . eric : i did n't come here to make you grovel . stephanie : no , you never have done that , and believe me , i realize now the strength it took on your part . eric : i just wanted you to hear it from me . stephanie : eric , you know , what you said about my relationships with the children and not being able to let go -- that 's true . eric : that 's no longer the issue . stephanie : but that 's why . i mean , i became obsessed with ridge , and i see that . eric : i 'm glad you do , but it does n't change anything between you and me . stephanie : but i 've apologized to brooke . i 've begged her to forgive me , and i realize -- look . i realize it ca n't repair the marriage overnight , eric -- eric : stephanie , i 'm in love with donna . [ scene_break ] felicia : what happened to brooke was horrible , but before you put it all on mother , i just wish you would stop and think about all the indignities she 's suffered because of brooke . she lost her company . she lost her husband , both of her sons . ridge : you 're comparing this to what brooke 's been through ? felicia : i 'm just saying that she 's -- she 's had a lot of issues to deal with -- a lot -- and i think they 've changed her , yeah . thorne : she 's not the same woman she was when we were kids , ridge . ridge : yes , she is , thorne . she 's exactly the same . she 's still treating us all like we ca n't do anything . why are we even debating this ? you can not excuse the inexcusable . thorne : well , maybe dad can forgive her ... felicia : if we talk to him . ridge : look . if dad is miserable , he 's got a right to move on . felicia : no , he 's not miserable . he 's disillusioned . you said it yourself -- the love is still there . [ scene_break ] storm : eric 's really leaving stephanie for you ? donna : at the end of the fashion show , i 'll be the one on his arm . storm : ( scoffs ) god , donna ! wha -- am i supposed to be happy about this ? donna : storm , i am . storm : what the hell ? why did n't i know anything about this ? i mean , growing up , i was the first one that everybody talked to . i was the first one that everybody came to , and now -- brooke : we did n't mean to exclude you . storm : i know . i know , but you told him . brooke : well , that was n't my intention . i knew how dad would react when he found out what happened to me , and stephanie 's involvement . i did n't want to set him off . storm : okay , but dad ca n't do anything to stephanie . you can . you can file charges . brooke : no . storm : please , brooke , think of all the hateful things she 's done to you . do n't you want to pay her back for all the abuse she 's heaped on you ? this has been going on for years . katie : we found the gun that she gave you when she suggested you might want to use it on yourself . brooke : in my safe ? storm : why did n't you give it back to her ? donna : yeah , maybe she can use it on herself . katie : brooke , you really should n't have a gun in the house -- not even in a safe . storm : look . i hope you do n't mind , but i took it back to the office so your assistant could give it back to her . it 's in your desk drawer . brooke : sweet stormy . you 're still looking out for me . we do depend on you . you know that ? storm : yes . donna : but you 're right , storm . stephanie ca n't hurt us anymore . she 's out , and we 're in . [ scene_break ] stephanie : you are not in love with donna . eric : she makes me happy . stephanie : and what about the children ? what about me ? the family -- we 're just gon na be ridiculed . eric : i 've explained my position to the children . stephanie : and what are they supposed to say to their friends , to the press ? eric : if there are questions , i 'll answer them . stephanie : eric , if you step on stage with that girl , that 's all that anybody will talk about . the value of the collection will fly right out the window . all the work , the effort you 've put into it will be for absolutely nothing . oh , my g -- this is so typical of you . it 's so adolescent and so selfish on your part . eric : i 'm going to go . stephanie : i wo n't take you back . eric : i do n't want to go back , stephanie . i do n't like the man i am when i 'm with you . stephanie : really ? well , do n't you think that i would like to walk away from my mistakes and have a tawdry little fling , little dalliance ? but i do n't . i 'm sorry . okay . i was wrong . i 'm wrong . i know this did not just start with your involvement with donna , but part of it is , you know , when you have children , they 're your number one priority , and they should be . you need to take care of them and love them and cherish them . the mistake is when they grow up and they go away , you 're supposed to let go , and you 're supposed to bring your attention back -- your love back -- to your husband . i did n't do that . i did n't let that happen , and i 'm sorry . eric : i 'm not punishing you . i want to be free . stephanie : i guess you 've wanted that for a long time , have n't you ? eric : it 's just the way things have to be . stephanie : eric , wait , please . eric : i do n't want to . i 'm not gon na stay here and stand here and listen to you say the things that i 've wanted you to say to me for years . eric : it 's too late . stephanie : i 'll never believe that . eric : i tried , stephanie . i tried more than anybody ever has , and i ca n't anymore . eric : i will always love you . | donna tells eric that she ca n't believe she got that lucky ; that he is in love with her . he wants to go tell stephanie . ridge catches him first and would like to know his decision , between donna and his mother ? he states he knows brooke 's rape and stephanie 's part in it got to him , but they are not out for revenge . eric states he loves donna , this is not revenge . the logan sisters are happy for donna when she tells them . storm shows up and sadly asks brooke if what his dad told him was true , about her rape ? he really wants her to press charges against stephanie . ridge and thorne visit the forrester site being renovated . jake mcclain , an ex - felicia flame , is working there now . they all think it is a good thing that eric is going over to celebrate with stephanie .. like all old times the night before the showing . he does n't like what eric is doing , but he 's a grown man and ridge does n't feel they can stop him or stand in the way . if eric is miserable , he has a right to move on . stephanie happily greets eric , drinks to his success and in fact tells him all the other stuff can be worked out later . she just wants the show to be about him , the man returning to where he belongs . |

caroline goes to hope 's office where she wants to catch caroline up on things before they get crazy around here . first she wants to thank her again for all her contribution in making the hftf line so hot right now . it 's hope 's face that is out there and she does n't want caroline to feel slighted or her contributions not appreciated . caroline does n't feel that way at all and feels appreciated both professionally and personally . liam lingers outside wyatt 's office long enough to hear him tell ricardo that not for one second was his diamond in jeopardy . liam walks in and tells wyatt he needs to see him when he has a sec . wyatt says now is good and introduces liam as his brother to ricardo . liam says half - brother . ricardo sings wyatt 's praises for allowing him to share his stone with the rest of the world . he really delivered . liam says he bets wyatt was n't counting on the heist though . ricardo corrects him and says attempted heist . and says his brother is a very impressive young man . when ricardo leaves wyatt closes the door and says another unexpected drop - in , what could be the occasion . liam is n't sure if he 's heard or not but their dad has gone back to katie . wyatt says yes , hope told him . liam says of course she did . wyatt says they have been spending a lot of time together lately . liam says he knows ; wyatt ha engineered that quite well . they discuss bill 's situation with falling from the mountain . wyatt says he had only begun to know bill , not like liam who has known him for some time so he does n't know if that is better or worse . they agree that it would be devastating to both of them if they lost bill . katie asks justin if he has seen bill in the office and he admits that he has n't . she thinks that is odd since he could n't wait to get there and reclaim his empire . allison comes in and is surprised to see katie but also says she has not seen bill . brooke tells bill that she ca n't believe that he would expect her to run into his arms and congratulate him for deceiving her sister . he says he did n't want to do that . he was put in this position because katie deceived him . and this is what he had to do to preserve their future . brooke says this must be some sort of joke and she 's not getting it . bill says katie stole his life and all he is doing is stealing it back . it was n't pleasant but sometimes in life you have to do the unpleasant to accomplish your goal . he tells her to please just focus on what 's important . they can get married just as they planned . brooke says he let her think that he was going back to katie . he let katie think that too so she would sign the papers . and then he told her he was going back to brooke . bill says no , he wanted to tell brooke first . he says he knows she is having a hard time with this but she has to understand one thing . in his world this is how deals are made when the stakes are this high . she rants at him that this is not business . this is his family ; this is her family . he says he knows she is mad and this will be hard to understand . but that business is like his baby and this is the only way it could be done . she tells him not to justify this . this was a heartless thing he did . katie took him back because she trusted him . he says it was n't easy for him but he did it for them . katie was making his life unbearable so if he had to make a temporary lie for a life with brooke , easy call . she says it was cruel and despicable . he shouts again that he did it for them . she slaps him . she has a look of hatred in her eyes . hope and caroline discuss maya and hope wants to make sure caroline is okay with maya returning to work . caroline gives a quick yes she is okay with it but she hopes rick and carter are only joking when they want them to all hang out together . then she starts in on hope that it looks like she is going to be having a lot of spencer men in her future . the question is liam or wyatt ? hope admits that wyatt is fearless , especially during this jewel heist . she 's never met anyone like him and goes along with caroline that he is gorgeous , funny and fascinating . caroline says hope is young and single and is yielding some power here with two men might as well enjoy it . hope says do n't get her wrong . she is still very much in love with liam but caroline finishes the sentence that she is very intrigued with wyatt . she tells hope that she is going to be married for the rest of her life , so take a little time and make sure she is choosing the right guy . |

[ sighs ] and , yes , what we did was wrong , but i do n't want him treating you like that . caroline : anyone but you . that 's why he 's hurting so much . that 's -- it 's ... [ sighs ] ridge : you know , what he said before about his mother ... it might be a cliché , but there are two sides to every story , and i think rick has always wanted me to be the bad guy in his life . but it 's not that clear - cut . caroline : nothing ever is . ridge : you do n't deserve this . wyatt : let liam live his life . hope : how do you know that liam even wants to be with ivy ? wyatt : because i see how they are with each other . she makes him smile . hope : not if you 're the one orchestrating things -- not if you are the one forcing the relationship . wyatt : i was just trying to do something fun for them . a romantic boat ride is not gon na make or break the relationship . and why are you so emotionally invested in this ? ivy is a nice girl . why ca n't you be happy for him ? hope : you should have been up front about it ! wyatt : [ sighs ] probably . you know , honestly , this has to stop . hope : what ? wyatt : the looks , the longing , you looking at him , and him looking at you . it 's annoying , and the sooner you see him move on , maybe the sooner it 'll stop . but it needs to stop . it 's wrong . we are married , and we are expecting a child . that is what we need to be focused on right now -- not ivy and liam . hope : i need some air . ivy : ohh . the hotel de l'europe . liam : yeah . ivy : so , uh , does this mean that our ride is almost over ? liam : not if we do n't want it to be . ivy : i love you . i 'm jus -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i just put you on the spot . liam : i love you , too . hope : [ inhales deeply ] [ exhales deeply ] | liam pilots the boat carrying him and ivy down the amstel flowing through the center of amsterdam . he pours some champagne and their faces glow as they celebrate . he admits he did not set this up . she says somebody sure did with all the champagne , hors d'oeuvres and special food . she has never been happier . he says she deserves it . hope hugs wyatt and says she overheard him talking to lars on the phone and it sounded like he was planning something really romantic . he stammers a bit and says they can do it tomorrow but this was a surprise for ivy and liam . she thinks that is a little strange for him to do that . he says he did it as a surprise because liam would not have gotten on the boat if he knew it was him that set it up . hope counters that if ivy and liam wanted a romantic boat ride they would have set it up themselves , so wyatt seemed to take the opportunity and advantage . he is so like his mother in manipulating . he does n't understand her over - reacting to this . it 's a simple boat ride and he just wanted to help liam . they go back and forth . she says this is so self serving . he is trying to force their relationship . he says he wants his brother to be happy and does n't know why that is a problem . ridge checks with pam to see if he has any messages . she says no , and especially not from katie if he is asking . and if they are still together after this whole caroline thing , do her a favor and have her take off that stupid red ribbon and buy her a real ring . rick presents maya with a gorgeous bracelet that she slips on . she tells him he has great taste . he says in jewelry only . she says she will not let that remark get to her . she mentions the ceo and his model just as caroline walks in . she mocks that maya has a great future being rick 's arm candy . maya puts on her best lady macbeth act and says out damn caroline . caroline announces that she is not leaving . rick says if it is about design she can make an appointment . caroline pushes past maya and says this is ridiculous . this is about them and she is not going to make an appointment to speak with her husband . she says she cares about him and wants him back , but he does n't want to get into this now . while rick takes a phone call , maya tells caroline to get a clue . it is over . she shows caroline the bracelet . she says rick has someone now who supports him and wo n't betray him . so caroline can take all the alimony she can get and just move on . caroline tells rick that he is hurting but turning to maya is not going to help . he can come home to her and they can still work this out . rick says she turned to ridge of all people . he has seen his own mother hurt by this man and never in a million years did he think it would affect his own wife . |

[ laughing ] we did it . and i just -- i just want to thank you , wyatt and ivy , for your loyalty and your support . i - i am so grateful for it . wyatt : yeah , of course . quinn : and you know what ? i know that eric was watching at home , and i can not wait to get there 'cause i just want to hear what he thought about it all ! and i 'm sure that nothing that happened today is gon na change the way you feel about me , and i 'm not sure that anything ever will . but i 'm gon na keep trying for my husband 's sake , because i know how important family is to him , that we all support each other and that we get along . and what 's important to eric is important to me . i just wanted this to be a success for forrester and for the family . but most of all , for my husband , because i love him . and i just want him to be proud of me . katie : i should go . i do n't want to wear out my welcome . eric : well , nonsense . katie : [ chuckles ] eric : i 'm very grateful that you came by . katie : well , i 'm grateful that my son is enrolled in school , thanks to you . eric : [ chuckles ] katie : the last couple months have n't been easy , and i 'm -- i 'm so thankful for my son , but this was nice . i get lonely . eric : well , you 're never alone . i 'll always be there for you , katie logan . do n't you forget that . katie : i wo n't . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i still ca n't believe it , can you ? ivy : [ chuckles ] what ? that ridge tried to put the kibosh on the whole showstopper thing ? wyatt : yeah , and he almost got away with it , too . ivy : if he 'd gone up against anyone other than your mother , he would have gotten away with it . wyatt : [ chuckles ] my mom really did shine tonight , did n't she ? ivy : oh , my gosh . when she came down that runway in that gown ... wyatt : oh ! ivy : what a moment . wyatt : one i 'm sure ridge will never forget . ivy : yeah . and steffy . wyatt : yeah . you know , i get that she loves her dad . hell , in her eyes , he can practically do no wrong . but in this case , he 's wrong about my mother and eric . ivy : i 'm just glad you 've seen the light . wyatt : [ chuckles ] i know , i know . i had my huge doubts at first . i mean , come on . they 're -- they 're a pretty unlikely pair , right ? ivy : well ... wyatt : somehow they work . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : you know ? and as much as i want today to be the turning point of how ridge views my mother and eric ... [ scoffs ] i 'm not gon na hold my breath . ridge : no , that 's -- that 's great . thank you very much . thank you . steffy : another order ? ridge : yeah , they keep coming in . pam 's phone wo n't stop ringing . steffy : how does quinn manage to do this ? like , she always pulls a rabbit out of the hat . ridge : i do n't know . company 's doing well , and ordinarily i 'd be very pleased . but there 's nothing ordinary about this . quinn is running the place . steffy : temporarily . until granddad 's well enough to come back . ridge : yeah , looking forward to that . but what 's gon na change , really ? they 're still gon na be married , and she 's still gon na have his ear . steffy : do you think she 's gon na tell granddad about the showstopper ? ridge : [ chuckles ] steffy : why she wore it instead of me ? ridge : i think that 's gon na be the first question out of his mouth . steffy : how do you think she 's gon na answer it ? ridge : any way that makes her look like the savior she thinks she is . quinn : eric ! where are you ? ! hello ! eric : you looking for me ? quinn : hey ! oh , i thought you would be upstairs resting . eric : no , i 've been waiting for you . quinn : yeah ? eric : yeah . quinn : well , i would have been home sooner , but i ... so did you see it ? eric : the show ? yeah , i saw . i saw the whole thing from start to finish . quinn : yeah ? well , uh , i mean , what did you think ? you just ... is -- is everything okay ? eric : yeah . why would you ask ? quinn : [ chuckling ] it 's the way you 're -- you 're talking to me . and , well ... so you saw the show . what did you think ? ridge : i pulled the showstopper because i ca n't endorse quinn and her role in this company . she turned the tables on us . steffy : dad , look , i know you 're thinking about the family and forrester , but i got to admit , what quinn did , wearing the showstopper , she really saved us . ridge : [ sighs ] steffy : can you just imagine the reaction if we just ended it with the jewelry pass ? we need buzz to generate sales , and that was a showstopper . i mean , that would have been a huge financial hit . ridge : i know , i know , i know , i know . i get all that , and that 's why i did n't disagree with gianfranco when he said that quinn and i make a great team and how well we work together . if they knew what was going on behind the scenes and the turmoil of this company , it could be detrimental to us . but meanwhile , you have quinn with even more control over forrester . it means our family and our lives . wyatt : my mother wore that showstopper for eric . she risked everything to come through for her husband today . and i know i fought against them for a very long time , but after today ... i 'm even more of a believer in my mom and eric . quinn : you 're probably wondering about the showstopper and why steffy was n't wearing it . eric : i assume it has something to do with ridge . quinn : yes . eric : but you 're not gon na tell me . quinn : well , if i do , then i 'm throwing ridge under the bus , and it 's something i really do n't want to do . eric : tell me anyway . quinn : [ sighs ] well , ridge pulled the showstopper at the very last second . he did n't want to follow the jewelry pass , and he convinced steffy not to wear it . eric : and so you wore it . quinn : oh , i tried to get anybody else to wear it -- ivy , the models . they 're all so tall and thin . and , you know , it was fit to steffy , so ... eric : but it fit you . quinn : yeah . it did . i could n't let the show be a failure . i could n't let you down , so [ laughing ] i ended up doing the only thing that i never thought i would do , which is put on the showstopper and walk down the runway . [ laughs ] and the buyers ? they promised orders , eric . they promised really big orders . and everybody sends their best regards to you and ... but the most important thing -- i mean , the only important thing right now is -- is what did you think of the show ? and i ca n't tell , eric ! eric ! eric : i love you . quinn : yeah , i know ! i love you , too ! i do ! i love you ! but what did you think of the show ? ! you can be honest with me ! eric : i love you . and i loved the show . it was sensational . i am so proud of you . quinn : you are so proud ! oh ! eric , you have no idea what that means to me . you realize that the only thing i wanted more than anything is to make you proud . eric : oh , you did . you did . now , come on . come upstairs , mrs. forrester . we have a lot to celebrate . quinn : okay . wait , no , just -- i , um ... i want to check my phone just once before i go upstairs . eric : you 're gon na start counting the orders ? quinn : yeah , i guess i am , so -- [ laughs ] i 'll be right up . eric : good . quinn : oh , god . | eric tells katie that he is pleased with the show ; he thinks his wife was wonderful and all that matters is the applause , not who was wearing the show stopper . he feels it has something to do with ridge . but the important thing is quinn came through for him . she did not let him down . quinn and ridge continue to exchange words under their breath with smiles on their faces on the runway . backstage quinn wants to toast the occasion but ridge passes . but that too is shot down when several buyers come back stage and praise them and say they will be buying more in force . they say the jewelry line was superb . and ridge 's designs are always great but this surpassed with an extra edge to them . steffy and ridge are floored . quinn asks them to stay when the buyers leave . there is something she wants them to hear . zende tells sasha that she wowed the crowd . they end up talking about her sister and how they let her down . she asks again where does this leave the two of them . he 's honest . he says right now all he can think about his love of nicole . |
judge mcmullen : the ruling 's illegitimate . it does n't matter if the evidence supports it or not . you 're gon na be my cellmate , ridge .

[ telephone rings ] pam : see what i mean , eric ? we could really use an extra hand around here . eric : eh ... pam : forrester creations . how may i direct your call ? donna : eric , um ... please know that i - i -- i did not put pam up to this . eric : never occurred to me . donna : okay . good . because i - i would hate for you to think -- pam : so , eric , come on . what do you say ? i mean , donna already knows how things work around here . plus , she 's family . donna : [ sighs ] pam : and you 've missed her , right ? eric : we all have . pam : so ? offer her the darn job already ! eric : what do you think , donna ? would you like to literally share a desk with pam again ? donna : yes ! absolutely . i - i would love to be back here at forrester with pam . and with you , eric .

[ chuckles ] you know . donna : uh ... [ telephone rings ] pam : oh , shoot . forrester creations . may i direct your call ? eric : are you , um ... pam : i 'm sorry ? eric : you absolutely sure you know what you 're getting yourself into ? donna : actually , i do . heh . for once in my life . anyway , i just ... i want to thank you again . having a place to come in , and contributing in my own small way , it just feels right . [ sighs ] pam : thank you so much . i 'll make sure he knows . thank you . okay . bye . ridge : this recording is illegal . judge mcmullen : that was a private conversation . you have no right . bill : [ laughs ] oh , that 's good . i mean , that 's rich . come on , your honor . you 're the last person should be talking about rights . what about my right to have a fair and impartial hearing for custody of my son ? thorne : you 're not exactly clean . you hacked their cellphones . bill : why are you talking ? you were n't invited . rude ! and , anyway , i do n't know what you 're talking about . justin and i , we were -- we were just out for a drive together . sometimes we do that on a pretty day . i love you , bro . justin : love you , too , bro . bill : yeah . so we rolled into the forrester parking lot and could not believe what we happened upon . thorne : that is one hell of a story . bill : but lucky for us , justin had some highly - sensitive long - range recording equipment with him , and we caught every sordid detail of a very sordid story . something about -- what was it ? i think it was blackmailing a judge ? ridge : no one blackmailed anybody . bill : was that how it felt to you , your honor ? hmm ? you had your frat - boy buddy here twisting your arm so hard you had to virtually say yes , or else ? brooke : bill . please . bill : i 'm sorry , brooke . i mean , i - i know we 're talking about your husband , here . damn it . you know , he always has to try and outsmart me . i - i 'm gon na give you credit . you did outsmart me there for a minute . and i bet -- whoo ! -- that was so fun for you . but in the end , i outsmarted you . just like i always do . quinn : [ sighs ] donna 's still in reception . what 's up with that ? eric : i imagine they 're divvying up space . quinn : divvying up space ? eric : i 've re - hired donna . she 's coming back to work at the company . quinn : donna asked for her old job back ? eric : no , it was pam 's idea . quinn : of course it was pam 's idea . pam 's very bad idea . pam : and if you need some extra drawer space , i just might share some of my side with you . [ laughs ] donna : that 's sweet . thanks . pam : no . thank you , donna . for agreeing to this . especially given the ups and downs we went through the first time that we shared this desk . donna : yeah , it did get rather intense sometimes . pam : yeah . donna : but we 're different people now , right ? pam : i do n't know . i mean , you 're kind of the same blonde ditz you always were . donna : hey ! pam : [ laughs ] i 'm just kidding . you 're also incredibly sincere and honest , and i know that now . and i know that you would never try to derail my happiness for your own selfish purposes . donna : something tells me we 're talking about quinn now . pam : you know , eric is just the dearest man , and his wife is the most vindictive person i think i 've ever met . i still ca n't believe what she tried to do to me and charlie . donna : i 'm sorry , pammy . pam : [ sighs ] donna : i feel for you . i really do . pam : you know , all i wanted was to get married in eric 's living room under steph 's portrait . give my wedding vows for the first time in my life in front of my friends and family . and it all got blown to smithereens . because of quinn . bill : well , since you crashed the party , thorne , i 'm going to address you . you were in on this as well ? ridge : my brother had nothing to do with this . bill : what about you , katie ? thorne : leave katie out of this . bill : why ? she 's the one who had the most to gain from ridge 's -- ridge : katie had nothing to do with this , either . it was all me , billy . all me . bill : but you did find out afterward , did n't you ? you decided to keep ridge 's dirty little secret to yourself . katie : i did n't know . i did n't know about any of it . and when i found out -- bill : found out from whom ? brooke : from me . i discovered what ridge and the judge did , and i confronted them , and then i went to katie , and i told her everything . and that 's when she realized that the ruling was completely unfair to you . katie : i hated that it was manipulated , and i wanted you to spend as much time with will as possible . i -- i never would have found out about this -- bill : if it were n't for your sister . her honesty and integrity . you knew i was n't the villain that i was being portrayed as . ridge : [ sighs ] bill : brooke was in an untenable position . but she still did whatever she could to make sure that i got as much time with will as possible . despite the judge 's corrupt ruling . you 're the one person in this room who defended me , brooke . the only one . eric : quinn , you 're upset because i 've rehired donna ? quinn : uh , no . why -- why should i be upset ? eric : yeah , 'cause there 's absolutely no reason to be . quinn : i just -- i do n't know why donna would want to tie herself down to this job , that 's all . eric : wait , `` tie herself down `` ? quinn : yeah . come on , she must have cleaned up in your divorce settlement . unless of course she ran through all that money , and now she 's destitute . eric : [ chuckles ] no . i just think she wants to have a place to go every day , to be with people she 's fond of . donna 's a good person . i think she 's a little at loose ends right now , and i do n't see any harm in letting her reconnect with this company and this family . quinn : and her ex . pam : you might be able to fool some people . but i can see , you 've never really gotten over eric . donna : pammy [ chuckles ] i - i just want to be clear -- i did n't come back to l.a. to cause problems in eric 's marriage . [ sighs ] though , uh , i have to be honest with you . uh ... being on that hillside as mrs . eric forrester ... it 's the most magical time in my life . pam : well , if i had my druthers , you 'd still be living on that hillside as mrs . eric forrester . donna : [ sighs ] pam : because , heaven knows , quinn should n't be . she 's dangerous , donna . she is a threat to everyone who really cares about eric . i mean , you found that out that night in the kitchen . donna : [ huffs ] pam : do n't let her intimidate you . do n't let her stop you from letting eric know how you really feel . [ scoffs ] i say ... do it , donna . let eric know . donna : [ sighs ] judge mcmullen : listen , i - i 'm deeply sorry , mr . spencer . and i realize saying this does n't excuse me from my part -- bill : no , it doesn't . but at least you know you were wrong . ca n't say the same about your grump co - conspirator . ridge : that 's not fair , billy . i realized something , too . i realized you 're a horrible father , and you screwed up two of your boys , and you were about to make it three for three , so i stepped in , and i saved him . bill : this was never about will . it was about you . and a twisted opportunity for revenge in your ongoing vendetta against me . ridge : oh , poor billy , the man who 's never done anything underhanded in his life . brooke : ridge , you 're only making this worse . bill : oh , brooke . i do n't think it can get much worse . you 're done . ridge : then do it . call the police . call them or do n't call them , but do n't waste my time anymore . do it now . this holiday , no matter who 's on your list , eric : donna and i were married a long time ago . a lot 's happened to both of us since then . quinn : why did you get divorced ? eric : you think donna 's to blame for that ? quinn : no , no . i did n't say that at all . i just ... it 's hard to understand what you saw in her , because you two are so different . eric : they said the same thing about you and me . quinn : i know . i just , um ... you never talk about her . eric : i do n't talk about my ex - wives out of respect for you . do n't be threatened by donna . that 's just silly . donna : feels like i never left . [ chuckles ] pam : you know , i wish you hadn't . donna : you despised me , pammy . pam : well , when you were married to eric . but now steph 's gone , and compared to quinn ... i owe you an apology , donna . donna : for what ? pam : oh ! i do n't know . gee , maybe the million not - so - nice things i did to you . donna : `` not so nice `` ? that 's an understatement if i ever heard one . pam : what ? [ applause ] [ laughter ] pam : [ laughs ] take her up , matt ! donna : what ? [ machinery whirs ] whoa ! whoa ! hold it ! no , no ! donna : help ! [ bear chuffs ] [ bear roars ] pam : and i think it 's just amazing that you can sit here and laugh with me right now , and forgive me the way that you have . donna : well ... i know now that you were just protecting your sister . not to mention , you had a medical issue that no one knew about . pam : right . scar tissue on my brain . donna : [ laughs ] besides , that was , you know , a million years ago . pam : yeah . donna : i mean , you would never do anything ... like that again . pam : to you ? no ! donna : [ chuckles ] pam : [ laughs ] to quinn maybe . oh , i 'm just kidding , donna . bill : let 's get one thing straight -- this is about will . this is about my son . ridge : mm . bill : i did n't get to raise liam and wyatt . so when will was born , i had that opportunity , and it meant the world to me . unfortunately , things did n't work out between his mom and me , but i remained a loving and devoted father . ridge : until you started stalking my daughter . your son 's pregnant wife . and you forgot all about little what 's - his - name . bill : his name is will . and , yes , i made a mistake . i was n't there for him for a brief period , and i should have been . but it did n't warrant stripping me of my parental rights . am i a perfect parent ? no . but who is ? my father certainly wasn't . did he say that he loved me ? did he tell me he was proud of me ? no . ridge : [ sighs ] bill : but boohoo . such is life . you move on . eventually i had that sword necklace made . as a symbol of what i needed to survive in the world . bill spencer the warrior . bill spencer , who will fight to the bitter end . but i do n't want to be that man anymore . that 's why i took the necklace off . because i 've changed . i 'm a changed man who has a decision to make . because now i know the whole truth about what you did , the lengths you went to to steal my son from me . you committed a criminal offense , you and your judge here , and i can have you both sent to prison . brooke : bill , listen to me . i am not excusing what the judge and ridge did . taking your rights away as a father -- it was n't fair to you . it was n't fair to will . but they have families , too . they 're fathers just like you . and , sure , you can call the cops , and you can have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law , but i am begging you , please , do n't do that . you said that you have changed . well , then , show us . show me . show mercy . | justin turns up the volume while ridge , thorne , brooke , mcmullen and katie listen to the voices on tape of ridge and the judge talking in the parking lot . ridge tells bill that he knows he never spent any time with that kid . bill says let him have his say ; this will be like a much needed therapy session . let him continue in his persecution . thorne adds his two cents and justin tells him to close his smart mouth . bill says it is okay as he understands thorne is just sticking up for his older brother . it 's kind of cute . but what ridge did was not only underhanded and hurtful but downright criminal and he looks at the judge to confirm that . now the question is what happens next . donna laments to eric that she hopes he does not think she put pam up to this asking her to come back to work here . eric says it never crossed his mind . pam pops up and says donna is family so just give her the job already . eric asks and donna says she would love to be back with pam .. and him also . quinn is not happy when she sees donna back with pam at the desk . eric says he re - hired her so it will be like old times . he senses that she is questioning why donna would want to come back here . he says donna is a good person at loose ends right now so he sees no harm in her wanting to be around family . quinn says he never talks about donna and he says he does not talk about his ex - wives in respect for quinn . he does not wish to discuss why they divorced . pam pours all her woes with quinn on donna and says she can see that donna still cares for eric . she says yes he was the most magical time of her life . pam says quinn is dangerous to anyone who cares about eric so do not let quinn intimidate her . they divide up the desk each on the other side of the divided tape . they share the memories of when loony pam was tormenting donna yet here they still are . thorne speaks up again when not being spoken to . bill tells him he is being rude and was not even invited . he then turns to thorne and says now what does he have to say . he was in on this .and maybe even katie . he and justin were taking a little ride in the afternoon and just happened to see ridge and the judge in the parking lot . and luckily justin had some high powered taping equipment and got down every word of this blackmail . ridge says there was no blackmail to which bill says maybe it did not look like it to him but his frat boy here must have thought so as he did everything ridge asked him to . |

[ scene_break ] shane : listen , can we just wrap this thing up already , please ? i have some plans , and i got someone really special coming by . storm : is that right ? shane : yes . storm : you are aware that the prosecution attacked your credibility today , so we need to be absolutely clear about what it is you 're going to say . you saw darla forrester fall back into the -- [ shane yawning ] shane : listen , i know what i saw . i know what to say . i know what to say ! storm : you know what to say ? that 's funny , because it 's not what you say , it 's how you say it . shane : listen , man , if we keep going over it like this , it 's going to end up sounding fake . so , why do n't you just -- just cut me a break , okay ? storm : a break ? shane , this is important , okay ? how you look and act will affect how the jury perceives you . you need to comb your hair , you need to dress neater . do n't you have a tie or something ?

[ shane remembering ] shane : i 'll say that phoebe did it out of the goodness of her heart . because she did n't even know that was me that night on the side of the road , because i did n't tell her that until later . and the accident with my hand ? that was n't her responsibility . that was n't her fault , but she took full blame for it . because that 's the kind of person she is . she 's a great person . and so is her family . they 're really good people . and her mom , too . i mean , look at her mom . her mom 's confessing to an accident that was n't even her fault . that i can swear to . shane : do n't you worry , sweetheart . i know you 're counting on me , and i 'm not going to let you down . all right ? i 'll be there for your mother , i 'm going to get her free . and i 'm going to be there for you .

brooke , what did you do ? bill : needless to say , everything i just told you stays in this room . alison : absolutely . you never cease to amaze me . bill : yeah , well , i never cease to amaze myself . but , you know , drastic times -- i was n't about to let my company or my little boy be held hostage by katie . justin : what about brooke ?

bill : i have n't decided how i 'm gon na deal with karen yet , but let me tell you something . justin : bill . bill . bill : what ? justin : we got a problem . bill : what 's wrong ? brooke : while you and bill were arguing , i did something . katie : what ? brooke : you know the manila envelope that bill brought with the documents in it for you to sign ? well , while he was talking to you , i took those documents out and i replaced them with the leaves that i brought home from aspen . katie : you -- you did that for me ? brooke : yeah . i know i 've caused you a lot of pain in the past , but nothing or no one is ever going to come ahead of you again . i promise . | brooke ca n't believe bill did this to her sister . he says the real question is how she did it to him . for the tenth time he says katie took his company and his son and used him as a weapon and he was n't about to let her do that . it had nothing to do with getting even . brooke says she really thought she knew bill but now she sees she does n't . he came home and went straight to katie and told her he wanted her when he had no intention of doing so . hope is on the phone with a reporter when liam shows up . she tells him there are so many interviews that she is getting no work done . but she 's not complaining . he says yeah jewel heists are a big deal . she corrects him by saying foiled jewel heists and especially when no one gets hurt and the bad guys go to prison for a very long time . he says yeah he 's not sure how all of that went down . she wants to know if someone is just a little jealous . he grins that if wyatt is the big hero and he 's standing there in the limelight and people are tripping over themselves to be in his presence but he 's got the girl , then he has nothing to be jealous of . she picks up on the word `` got her `` . he says between him and wyatt that he thinks he is clearly the front runner . he gives her a quick kiss . she teases that he is not lacking in confidence .. but then neither is wyatt . she thinks they may be more alike that he thinks . bill says he hated lying to either of them but things had to change and he had to change them . if he had told brooke and she had the slightest inkling .she finishes by saying yes she would have gone straight to katie and told her everything . it was wrong and heartless of him . he says he does n't see it that way . katie says of course not . the ends justify the means . brooke says but this is not business . katie was the woman that he married and had a child with . he says his life was deteriorating to the point that in aspen he almost lost his life because he was so distracted . he had to gain control again . brooke tells him not like this ; not by coning her sister . he scoffs , just who was conning who in the first place . he says she teamed up with his sister and took his company away and then she took his son away . this is no different . brooke ca n't believe he would even ask that . the fact that katie is her little sister and it would n't bother her . bill must have thought she 'd defend him no matter what . now she sees what katie must have felt these last few months . he says yes ; they all know how she felt .the long suffering martyr that is n't responsible for anything that happened . katie says and all of this from a man who just pledged his undying love for her then had justin bring over the papers . bill says if she had just been a little more agreeable and cooperative then he would n't have had to go to such lengths . but he did and now they must all move forward . slowly and as clearly as she can , brooke says there is no moving forward . there is no future ; that is dead . it was the minute he came back to katie 's house and lied to her and lied to brooke as well . more phone calls for hope and liam has to finally take the phone out of her hands and fakes a southern accent to get rid of the caller . he tells her he is keeping her cell as he is taking her to a private lunch just for the two of them and does n't want to be distracted by phones . she says that sounds nice but she ca n't get away right now . he says sure she can .. watch and learn . he goes to the intercom and tells pam that hope has to be out of the office for a few hours so she is to direct all her calls to voicemail and anything else important hand it to rick . hope says she sort of likes a take control type of guy . he says there is more than one bad boy around here , so they should go . alison is practically lit up and tells justin that bill should be walking through that door any minute . he says the place was n't the same without him . no one runs the company like dollar bill . she asks how did all of this happen ? justin says they can say no one saw it coming . katie 's assistant , adele , comes in and sees them and katie not there and asks about her . alison tells her she might be prepared to pack her things and leave . there have been some changes and katie is no longer in charge . bill is back as ceo . |

[ ridge sighs ] we just witnessed it . [ ridge scoffs ] are n't you gon na say anything ? [ sucks teeth ] ridge : thank you , bill . bill : you 're welcome . you 're like a pretty little bow , wrapping this up nicely . thank you , everyone . katie : all right . bill : brooke . if i could have a moment alone with you . hy - a - luronic acid katie : [ sighs ] well , we thought we would be back way before now . thorne : we miss anything ? liam : no . i mean , will was here with donna . wyatt : yeah , and he seems much happier . kind of like how he used to be , you know ? liam : yeah . i think spending time with dad agrees with him . katie : well , he 's gon na be spending a lot more time with bill , so ... liam : what ? why -- what does that mean ? katie : we just had a meeting with bill . liam : about will ? thorne : the custody issue has been resolved . katie : bill and i are going to go back to the original agreement , and we 're gon na share custody . justin : so , i 'll stay on mcmullen to make sure this new custody agreement is drawn up asap . bill : good . thank you . justin : you sure about all of this ? bill : i 'm sure . i got what i wanted . justin : all right . you know where to find me . bill : ridge . you can leave , too . like i said , i want to speak to brooke alone . ridge : i 'm not leaving my wife here with you . brooke : ridge . after what bill did for you today , i think it would be wise to respect his wishes . [ sighs ] i ca n't believe what happened . or what did n't happen . bill : pleasantly surprised ? brooke : well , yes . my whole life could have been upended . i 'm not saying that you would n't have been right to turn them in , but i am glad that you found mercy in your heart . bill : i found you in my heart . i want to be totally straight with you -- what ridge and that judge did , they broke the law , brooke . they basically stole my son from me . and katie and thorne , they were complicit in their knowledge of what happened . i mean , the entire thing was corrupt as hell . brooke : [ sighs ] i know . i - i ca n't believe they did that . i - i -- i do n't even know what to say in their defense . bill : you do n't have to say a word . what 's done is done . i want to focus on the good . i have my son back . he 's my number - one priority . i love that boy . brooke : i know you do . i know . i never doubted that for a second . bill : you had my back through this entire mess . you were the one constant . and that means so much to me . you never doubted that my intentions with will were honorable and good . brooke : i 'm so sorry . what ridge and judge mcmullen did to you , it just was n't fair . bill : i could have come down on those two hard . had them carted off in cuffs . but i did n't do that . brooke : i 'm grateful you didn't . bill : katie and thorne ... [ sighs ] i could have come down hard on them , as well . but i did n't do that , either . for one reason and one reason only . they 're your family . your loved ones . and hurting them would have meant hurting you . and i never want to hurt you again . my life now , the change in me ... it 's about you , brooke . it 's you . | brooke tells bill that she will not justify what the judge and ridge did , but she knows bill is a compassionate man . he is saying that he has changed so prove it now . do not press charges , she begs him . bill tells them that will is the most important thing in his life and that is what ridge did ; he tried to take him away . ridge says again no one stole his son . and bill was out chasing his daughter - in - law and had no time for will then . bill says again this was revenge , nothing more . he could have pressed charges but did n't when they threw him over the balcony . but taking will is another whole ballgame and all it would take is one call and both the judge and ridge would be behind bars . he picks up the phone while they stand silent and squirm a little . then he puts the phone down and says he is not going to press charges . brooke is aghast . bill says he wanted to . he would not mind seeing them hauled off in handcuffs . and next time ridge looks down his nose at bill think of this moment as he is standing on his moral high ground . the judge asks if this is a trap that he is just prolonging the matter . bill says no he wo n't change his mind . ridge will not have to move his sewing machine to the jail cell . but do him a favor and stop trying him . |
eric : you were just over at spectra ? brooke : i went there to talk to thorne . stephanie : did you congratulate him on how well they 're doing ? brooke : no . there 's a problem . eric : what kind of a problem ? brooke : nobody 's picking up the new spectra couture line . despite all the positive publicity . eric : well , if that 's true , i 'm sure it 's just temporary . once nick announces that jackie m is going to carry the line , the others will follow suit . brooke : if nick were picking it up . but he is n't . stephanie : did he say that ? brooke : yes . stephanie : did he tell you why ? eric : i 'm going to go over and talk to him . brooke : no , somebody already did . stephanie : who ? brooke : ridge . before he left for europe . he told nick if he were going to carry the new spectra couture line , he was going to pull forrester from every jackie m boutique . stephanie : what nick : first sally , and brooke , now you . i should just put a revolving door in here . thorne : well this is important , so i 'll get right to the point . i want to discuss our brother 's ultimatum . and why you 're letting ridge jack you around . maitre d ' : follow me , please . watch your step . miss ramirez . caitlin : you remembered my name . maitre d ' : from your first time here with mr. forrester . caitlin : a lot 's happened since then . maitre d ' : apparently , all of it good . i will send your waiter right over . caitlin : he 's right , you know . it is all good . and it 'll be even better a month from now . when you 're back home and we 're more in love than ever . rick : so , you hungry ? caitlin : oh , do we have to order right away ? sorry , i want to make our final night together last as long as possible . rick : i wo n't be gone forever , caitlin . i 'll be back before you can even miss me . caitlin : or you can miss me . did i say something wrong ? rick : no , no . it 's just -- do you remember the first time i brought you here ? caitlin : are you kidding ? i remember every moment . seriously , what we were going to eat . what i was wearing . what you were wearing . i had never been to a place like this before . not that it really mattered where we were . because after the first few moments , the only thing i saw was you . it 's still that way . umm -- this is where you 're supposed to say it 's like that for you , too . it is like that for you , is n't it , rick ? waiter : good evening . welcome to cafe russe . my name is greg . can i get you started with something to drink ? or would you like to hear tonight 's specials first ? eric : forrester is not pulling out of jackie m , and for ridge to strong - arm nick into thinking we are -- stephanie : eric . eric , just call nick and tell him that ridge was not authorized to say something like that . brooke : i would n't do that . ridge is adamant about this . if you reverse his decision -- eric : his decision ? it 's not his decision to make . not by himself , anyway . i 'm the ceo of this company . brooke : eric , i know that . but i 've spoken to him on the phone . he has some very solid reasons for doing this . stephanie : all well and good , but he has no right to issue any kind of an ultimatum on our behalf . eric : it 's not the way we do business . stephanie : i hope the press has n't found out about this . eric : or thorne . does he know ? stephanie : is that why you went over to see him ? to deliver the `` good news ? `` oh , god , you 're so thoughtless . nick : first of all , nobody dictates my decisions . thorne : well , that did n't stop our brother from threatening to -- nick : i know what he was threatening . even though we do n't know each other that well . i understand what 's at stake for you and for spectra . thorne : but ? nick : there 's an exclusivity clause in the contract between jackie m and forrester . i checked with the attorneys , and i hate attorneys , so this is n't some figment of forrester 's imagination . now , if i challenge this contract , that means i have legal battles for months . that means forrester could try to use his connections to try to -- thorne : pressure you into buckling ? nick : but i do n't buckle . i do n't walk away from fights . legal or otherwise . the issue here is risk . if i take on spectra , i risk losing forrester that 's a proven winner . now mind you , i know nothing about dresses . i 'm like a seaman in a desert storm . but i know business , and that 's not smart business . and this boils down to business . thorne : for you . but for ridge , it 's personal . he 's trying to strike back at me through you . he 's using you , nick . nick : so you 're threatening me now , too ? thorne : no , that 's ridge 's style . i 'm here to help you . nick : help me ? thorne : to get out from under ridge 's thumb , nick . i know that 's not the way you like to do business . ridge calling the shots . hell , you did n't like it when he was here at marrone . nick : this is a shipping company . we 're talking about fashion . his turf . thorne : well , it sounds like to me he wants to make jackie m his turf . look , i grew up with this guy , okay . i know him . nick , if you let him get away with this , he will come back again and again demanding more each time . do n't give him more power . give him competition , and give yourself more leverage for the next he comes in here and starts threatening your business . you can throw him out . nick : there 's not going to be a next time . thorne : well , if you think that , then you do n't know ridge . nick : but i know what he 's doing . he 's not trying to run my business , thorne . he 's trying to run you out of business . that 's his goal . thorne : and he 's using you to do it . that does n't bother you ? nick : not particularly . thorne : look , nick , you 've stood up to him before . nick : i do n't hold grudges . thorne : maybe not . but you do recognize the tactics . it 'd be one thing , nick , if he was really trying to help my father 's company , but this vendetta is purely personal . nick : i know that . thorne : and you 're okay with that ? his chief weapon against us ? nick : i 'm nobody 's weapon . thorne : but without you and your cooperation , he 'd get nowhere , nick . all you have to do is -- nick : what ? no , go on , tell me , what ? stand up to him and strike a blow for victims everywhere ? now that might work for your team rallying around the cause . it 's a good cause . thorne : well , if you feel -- nick : let me finish ! i like what you 're doing . i like what you 've done for your sister . given her some identity in this family , got out of ridge 's shadow . i understand that you 're counting on me signing on with your team . thorne : we 're natural allies . nick : i know that . the deck 's stacked against us . our backs have been against the wall . thorne : we can change that , nick . if we work together , we can change that . we can change that for a lot of people . caitlin : so , i was thinking , while you 're away we can e - mail pictures to each other . and i 've already figured out the time difference between here and milan . and it 'll be a little tricky coordinating calls , but we 'll get the hang of it , right ? rick ? rick : oh , i 'm sorry . what ? caitlin : oh , no , i 'm sorry . for rattling on like that . it 's just -- i really wish you were n't going . rick : caitlin , i have to go , it 's business . i want to go . it 's just , you know , my dad 's really counting on me and i do n't want to disappoint him or forrester . and if i 'm constantly worrying about keeping in touch with you -- i just think maybe we could be a little more realistic about this , do n't you ? nick : i 'm not interested in refereeing some grudge match between you and the queen dressmaker . besides , that 's not who you should be talking to , anyway . thorne : look , if you mean ridge -- nick : i do n't . i mean , your parents , or brooke . thorne : i have talked to her . nick : well then you know she 's not as gung - ho with this as her husband . thorne : she 's not . nick : still , she 'll back him probably . thorne : actually , nick , i may have gotten through to her . nick : that so ? so you got your parents . you got brooke . thorne : uh - huh . which means that i would have the majority shareholders on my side . which means that ridge would have no choice but to back down . nick : well , there you go . looks to me like your problems are solved . thorne : but still , it would n't need to come to that , nick , would it ? nick : thorne , i like your company . i like underdogs . i like the whole `` rah , rah `` spirit , plus i kind of got the hots for your sister . but i have made my position perfectly clear here , have n't i ? thorne : yes , you have . nick : however , if you were to convince forrester to stay in -- thorne : you 'd carry our line ? nick : you bet . you make nice dresses . thorne : that 's all i need to hear , nick . thank you . thank you . brooke : must you always think the worst of me ? i stopped by spectra to explain to thorne -- stephanie : why his brother is still attacking him for no apparent reason ? brooke : ridge is not attacking anybody . he 's just trying to protect forrester . eric : protect forrester from what ? brooke : for starters , from sharing shelf space with lower - quality brands that 's going to reflect badly on forrester . stephanie : oh , like spectra couture by thorne forrester . brooke : yes , stephanie . like spectra couture by thorne forrester . ridge is concerned that the public is going to get confused by the labels . that spectra is going to be some kind of subsidiary of forrester creations . and just think what that would do to marketing . eric : not to mention sales . brooke : so you agree . eric : i agree that ridge has a point , i do . but i disagree completely with his tactics . that he would take such a hard line about this . especially knowing what it will do to his brother . stephanie : well thorne was feeling so positive about everything after the competition . eric : we all were . or so i thought . stephanie : you think this has affected ridge in some way ? eric : what ? that thorne was able to hold his own against him ? stephanie : did he say anything to you ? are his feelings hurt in some way ? brooke , could you please answer me . brooke : yes . but this is n't about the showing . this is about -- ridge overheard what you said to thorne . eric : what i said to thorne ? brooke : after the showing . how he 's -- stephanie : oh , he heard you say thorne 's `` our only son . `` eric : ridge was n't supposed to hear that . but thorne needed to hear that . for so many reasons . especially then . stephanie : brooke , it does n't mean that we love ridge any less . brooke : yes , i know that . but you have to understand that ridge is hurting over this . he did n't want to admit it , even to me . so make no mistake , he needs his parents ' support right now just as much as his brother does . thorne : oh great , you 're still here . i just came from seeing nick . mother , dad , i 'm going to need your support like never before . caitlin : you do n't think i 'm being realistic ? rick : i think you 're doing what a lot of girls your age would be doing in this situation . you 've got everything planned out . how we 're going to call and e - mail . but what happens when i ca n't call you because i 'm in a meeting ? or you ca n't get in touch with me because i 'm at a showing with -- i guess what i 'm trying to say , caitlin , is that -- caitlin : you wo n't be putting your life on hold while you 're away . rick : and i do n't want you to , either . i want you to feel free to do you own thing , okay ? i want you to go to dances . i want you to hang out with your friends . the thought of you sitting at home , waiting by the phone to hear from me , that 's not what i want for you , caitlin . yet , here i am with all these adult responsibilities , and here you are -- a teenager . i just do n't want you to miss out on all the things you should be enjoying in your life right now , because you 're too wrapped up in mine . which is n't even mine , it belongs to forrester international now . and it will for the foreseeable future . but you -- you 've got school and your job and your family . i know how much your parents mean to you . finding samantha was a miracle . and almost as soon as you did , you got wrapped up in `` ingenue . `` we started seeing each other -- you did n't get to spend any time with your family , caitlin . that 's my fault . that 's not what i want for you . oh , caitlin . do n't cry . you do n't understand . caitlin : yes , i do . rick : it 's not that i 've stopped caring . it 's just -- i lost so much of my life tied down with amber . and i do not want that to happen to you . caitlin : i get it , rick . you do n't have to say it anymore . rick : i 'm sorry . i do n't want to hurt you . i never meant to hurt you . but -- caitlin : we have to face reality . i get that , too . i 'm sorry , i ca n't talk about this anymore . rick : caitlin , wait . caitlin : good - bye , rick . eric : you need our support ? thorne : i 've already asked brooke for hers . did you tell them what 's going on ? can you believe this ? what ridge is doing ? shutting me out like this ? after everything i 've accomplished so far . you know , i do n't get it . i mean , what possible reason does he have to put up this kind of roadblock ? i mean , other than the obvious . eric : so you went over and you saw nick ? thorne : yes , i thought i might be able to change his mind . stephanie : did you ? thorne : well , he 's in a very difficult situation , mother . courtesy of our brother . eric : so , ridge 's ultimatum had a big effect ? thorne : well , how can it not ? he threatened to pull forrester out of jackie m . stephanie : the rest of the couture houses will follow . thorne : exactly , mother . for fear of being tainted by the inferior spectra couture by thorne forrester . eric : there 's nothing inferior about your line , or the man who put it on the map . thorne : only we 're not on the map , yet . and we 're not gon na be , dad , if we do n't get a shot at the high - end boutiques . now , if everyone finds out why jackie m is not carrying our line , we 're finished . it 's over . that 's why i went to nick . to try to convince him to reconsider . brooke : has he ? thorne : he said that he would carry spectra couture if forrester gave him the green light . but the only way that is to happen -- stephanie : is if we give you our absolute support on this . thorne : which means going up against ridge . overriding him . which you three can do . and not to cause more conflict in this family , but to put an end to it once and for all . to tell ridge , `` it 's over . `` because that 's what we all want , is n't it ? brooke , look , i know he 's your husband . and i know that you love and support him . but i honestly believe in your heart , you do n't support this . not when you know how much harm it can cause . how much harm it 's already caused . dad , i know it 's not easy standing up to ridge . especially when he 's used to getting everything that he wants . but i did it . i stood up to him , and now -- eric : and now , it 's our turn . thorne : mom , i know you 're not comfortable making this decision without ridge being here . but i need to know your answer now . i need to know that what you said is really true . that you meant it . that the favoritism between me and my brother is over . can you do that , dad ? can you give me my chance to prove myself fair and square ? will you do that , dad ? for me ? | brooke told stephanie and eric that ridge overheard them refer to thorne as their only son . dominick agreed that jackie m. would carry the spectra designs if thorne could convince forrester not to pull their business . thorne went to see eric and stephanie and begged for them to finally put all the favoritism they 've shown to ridge in the past , and support him by allowing jackie m. to carry the spectra designs . |

( chuckles ) justin said that i looked into your soul and i saw gold , and he was right . and you looked into my eyes , and you saw someone different and new , strong and confident -- someone i 'm excited to be . and somewhere along the road , you fell in love with me . i still do n't know how that happened . bill : it was n't difficult . katie : we are meant to be -- two loners have become one . we are better together than we ever were apart , and today we start our journey . i know the road wo n't always be smooth , but i have never felt this way -- the way i feel with you . look at that -- los angeles , all those twinkling lights , like a million stars laid out just for us . you will take me to places that i ca n't even imagine , and i will give you something that you 've never had before -- a home and a family , an unwavering , undeniable , unconditional love . | looking rather somber , eric stands on the patio . he overlooks all the pretty flowers , candles and festivity in his home . donna returns to her home and calls out for him and finds him . she says she is sorry that he missed the lovely wedding , but it would be nice if they could be together at this reception . he lets her down again . he says he can not stand at the front door with a pasted grin on his face and pretend all is cool with accepting bill spencer into his life . ridge and brooke arrive and ridge says he knows today is going to be hard on his dad . the bride and groom arrive and it 's time for the party to start . rick did n't make the ceremony , but just in from paris in time for the reception . marcus shakes hands with rick and welcomes him back . jarrett congratulates bill for his vows as they were said from the heart that heart that he does n't have , but this one was a whopper . bill dismisses him by saying jarrett needs to go get some champagne . bill sees eric alone and approaches him . he offers him a cigar which eric declines . bill thanks him for hosting the reception . eric lets him know that it was donna 's idea ; he can thank her . donna gives the toast . she hands the floor over to the best man , justin . he tells dollar bill that he has known him a long time ; always a loner until he found katie and she looked into his soul and found gold . brooke also has a few words to say . katie and bill pose for pictures , they cut the cake , they feed each other the cake and jarrett is surprised to catch the garter . justin mentions to donna that eric does n't seem to be happy about this reception . she 's his wife ; he should be supporting her . she answers that he just lost his company so he 's doing the best he can . he talks to eric and leaves a few nagging doubts in his head . |
thomas : our kiss did n't end on that runway , brooke . it 's not that simple . what started on that runway is far from over . brooke : thomas , you ca n't think this way . thomas : our kiss may have only happened once , but it 'll be viewed over and over again around the world . it 's the most powerful kiss i 've ever felt . it 'll be seen by millions of people millions of times , and every time , people are gon na be wondering about us all over again . it 's an iconic moment , brooke . people will be talking about it for years . brooke : okay , so you 're just talking about the internet , the press , the media . thomas : i - it 's everywhere . that kiss -- our kiss -- it has a life of its own . brooke : but in reality , it 's never going to happen again . nothing like that . not another kiss . thomas : no , of course not . dad would kill us . brooke : ( laughs ) okay . well , for a second there , that 's what i thought you were suggesting . thomas : no , brooke . i was talking about the impact . one kiss , and it 's gon na live on forever . that 's all i meant . brooke : ooh . ( sighs ) i 'm so relieved . ( chuckles ) ( sighs ) thomas : brooke , you are a beautiful woman . i 've always thought so . and someday when i get married , i 'd like to find somebody like you . you 're gorgeous , fun , vivacious . but i completely respect your marriage to my father . brooke : i am so happy to hear that . thomas : ( chuckles ) brooke : and i really do hope that we can continue working together , and i hope that we can continue this men 's line . thomas : what are you talking about ? my men 's line 's gon na be huge . brooke : ( sighs ) we have your mother to consider , and ridge really is very upset about this . in fact , he went to talk to taylor this morning . whip asked him to . thomas : no , what about ? brooke : i 'm not sure , but it ca n't be very good for us . thomas : you do n't think he would actually pull the line , do you ? brooke : i do n't know . ( sighs ) but i think he made a decision . we 're going to find out soon enough . [ scene_break ] ridge : ( sighs ) man : hey , mr. forrester . man : a couple questions , ridge ? man : your wife kissing your son -- how -- how far will forrester go ? ridge : folks , please . please . please chill out here . man : do you have any quotes that you can give us ? any at all ? ( voices overlapping ) [ scene_break ] brooke : i still think you should try this on -- fully tailored for its designer . it 's a beautiful suit . i 'd like to see it on you . thomas : you know what ? let 's hold off and make sure there 's even gon na be a men 's line by thomas forrester . [ scene_break ] man : so , ridge . ridge . ridge . do you expect this to generate some kind of global reaction ? man : pretty risqué for forrester nowadays , is n't it ? ridge : we had a preview for our new men 's line . that 's what last night 's showing was all about . man : well , but thomas crossed a line , ridge . are n't you worried about some backlash at least ? ridge : look , in this business , any move you make can have a backlash . man : but does n't it bother you ? your son kissing your wife ? jarrett : a rebellious , young forrester playboy capturing the world 's attention ? it reminds me of someone . ridge : jarrett , would you like to explain ? jarrett : oh , you in the grand old days , pushing the envelope at every turn . man : was that the idea ? getting back to an edgier forrester ? jarrett : i think it was a stroke of genius , lighting a fire underneath your company . i mean , forrester has n't been talked about like this since brooke introduced the bedroom line , tipping the fashion world on its ear . man : is that what you 're doing , ridge ? ( voices overlapping ) man : do you see any divorce in your future ? ridge : gentlemen , there will be a statement for the press later . ( voices overlapping ) jarrett : did thomas talk to you about it before he went ahead and did it , ridge ? ( voices overlapping ) man : come back . just one moment . man : come on , guys . ( voices overlapping ) [ scene_break ] amber : so , um , thanks for being so cool about everything . oliver : yeah . amber : is there anything you want me to do ? like , um , i do n't know , clean up around the house ? do some laundry or cook for you or wax your surfboard ? oliver : you want to be my maid ? i 'll get you a little outfit . amber : mm , i told you . i 'll be whatever you want me to be . you know , if it were n't for you , oliver , i 'd be on the street -- no job , no friends . you 're pretty much all i have . the person i hurt worse than anyone else in the world . oliver : let 's not talk about that . amber : ( sighs ) i am afraid if i do n't , i 'd just be fooling myself . oliver : about what ? amber : how someone could be so forgiving when i know i do n't deserve it . [ scene_break ] whip : so did you have a good talk with ridge ? taylor : mm - hmm . yeah , it -- it helped . thanks . whip : mm - hmm . taylor : it did help because i - i do n't know , he just helped me understand that it was just a kiss , and stop worrying about it . it was n't a big deal , and it 'll blow over . whip : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . but you 're still worried . taylor : well , that 's because i know brooke , and i do n't like her anywhere near my son . whip : ( chuckles ) taylor : and i - i ca n't even stand the idea of the two of them working together . it makes my skin crawl . whip : mm , okay , okay , okay , okay . taylor : it does . ( chuckles ) why do i do this ? why do i keep dwelling on this ? whip : i do n't know . well , you know why ? because you are -- you 're a mother . he 's your son . and you want to protect him . okay ? [ scene_break ] thomas : dad was honestly that upset ? enough to drop my whole men 's line ? brooke : the kiss was very upsetting to him . his wife and his son ? he felt hurt . he was betrayed . and i let him down again . thomas : are things really okay with you two ? brooke : i hope so . i begged him to forgive me , and i think he has . but one more incident like that , and it 's over . thomas : ( sighs ) brooke , i 'm sorry . that preview , it ... was n't your fault . it was me . brooke : no , i - i ... ( sighs ) look , i went along with it , and i should n't have . but it 's over , and it 's never going to happen again . now we just need to deal with the fallout . thomas : did you see the reporters outside ? brooke : yes . ( sighs ) i wish ridge did n't have to go through that . thomas : the press clamoring for a story . that 's not gon na make dad happy . brooke : ( mouthing words ) ridge : good . you 're both here . seen these ? ( clears throat ) brooke : oh , ridge , i 'm so sorry . thomas : dad , do n't freak out . brooke : ( sighs ) thomas : forrester 's dominating all the fashion headlines . ridge : because of your totally inappropriate stunt . it 's drawn a lot of attention -- positive , negative , all over the map . so what are we gon na do about it ? [ scene_break ] oliver : it 's nice not to be alone . helps me to forget . amber : i 'm not sure i can help you with that , oliver . i 'm not sure anyone can , actually . oliver : no one 's gon na replace hope , but i am sick of mopin ' around . i am done with that . let 's just have some fun . amber : now that i can help you with . oliver : you already have . amber : good . oliver : can you imagine if my sister walked in right now ? amber : ( laughs ) oliver : ( chuckles ) amber : i hope she 'd , uh , she 'd knock first . ( cell phone buzzes ) oliver : no , she calls . ( chuckles ) hey , aggs . aggie : are you doin ' okay ? i 'm just checkin ' on you . i know a lot 's happened . oliver : yeah , it could be worse . aggie : you still have your job at forrester , right ? they 're keeping you on ? oliver : yeah . aggie : amber should be behind bars for what she did . oliver : she 's been punished , aggie . she lost everything . aggie : do n't feel sorry for her . she messed with you big - time . amber : ( mouthing words ) oliver : she was desperate . aggie : after what she did , i would think you 'd want to put your hands around her throat and squeeze real hard . hey . are you listening to me ? oliver : yeah . yeah , sis . i hear ya . uh , thanks for the call . bye . amber : ( giggles ) oliver : ( chuckles ) amber : thanks for not bustin ' me . [ scene_break ] whip : i just wish i 'd kept my mouth shut , you know , i had never suggested to thomas that ... that he needed to pull some kind of a stunt . ( sighs ) taylor : no , you were -- you were trying to help . whip : yeah . taylor : and he needed help , because he had just come off the heels of hope 's big premiere , and he needed to get the attention of the press somehow . whip : oh , he definitely got the attention of the press . that 's for sure . taylor : i just feel so sorry for ridge . another scandal with brooke right in the center of it . i really think she 's pushed him to the limits this time , though . i do . you have to wonder how much a man can take . [ scene_break ] brooke : i know how upset you are about this . ridge : every time i see this kiss , it makes me feel a little ill . eric : i was wondering when you were gon na call this meeting . i asked rick to join us . rick : hope you do n't mind . ridge : that 's fine . would you close the door , please ? i 'll assume you 've all seen these . eric : ( scoffs ) yes , we 've seen them . of course we have . and a million others just like them . you know , once again , we 're in the middle of a media feeding frenzy . thorne : it 's everywhere , and we have to do damage control . thomas : have you looked at the early sales figures ? brooke : orders are pouring in for the whole line . thomas : and we only previewed a few suits . rick : that was from buyers who are reacting to shock value . do you really think that 's going to last ? thorne : we ca n't take that chance . besides , that 's not how we operate here . eric : ( sighs ) thomas : well , maybe it should be if it gets us out there . eric : the kiss was wrong , thomas . it was dead wrong , an incredible display of bad judgment and bad taste , and now we 're facing the backlash of a lot of outrage from a lot of wonderful customers of ours . the best thing we can do is just get as far away from this as we can . thorne : are you saying drop the men 's line ? eric : sorry , thomas . thomas : whoa , granddad , that 's crazy . we 've got all these sales coming in . it 's gon na be a big win for forrester . eric : the line is tainted , ridge . it 'll cost us a lot in the long run . ridge : we 're also in the fashion headlines like we have n't been in years . all over the world , too . we 're getting a lot of media hype , and they 're saying things like , `` stroke of genius . `` eric : wait . you ca n't say that you 're condoning this . ridge : watching my son kiss my wife like that ? i was horrified . but looking at the response from the internet , from the press , from the reporters i was speaking to outside today , this is a response nothing like i 've ever seen before . so what do we do ? do we hide from it ? or do we jump on board ? [ scene_break ] amber : your sister 's right , you know . ( sighs ) i really should be put behind bars for stealing those designs from you . oliver : okay . you want me to turn you in ? amber : no . but why did n't you ? oliver : truthfully ? amber : yeah . oliver : i do n't know . amber : it 's not such a smart idea to take a chance on me . i mean it , oliver . you know , i - i 'm pretty good at messin ' things up for people i care about . oliver : yeah , me , too . amber : and , uh , i do n't -- i do n't want to risk hurting you . well , any more than i already have . in fact , i think it 's probably best to just stay away from me . so just say the word , and i 'll -- i 'll go . okay . yeah . oliver : hey , amber ? you are probably the last person i should trust . amber : ( sighs ) oliver : but something tells me i can ? amber : i do n't know . i do n't know . i just -- i would rather just take off than risk hurting you again . oliver : i 'll tell you what . i will keep my eyes wide open and my stuff locked up in the safe . ( laughs ) amber : i wish i could laugh at that , but i ca n't . oliver : i want you to stay . [ scene_break ] whip : i do n't want to talk about ridge anymore . ( sighs ) taylor : me either . thank you . whip : for what ? taylor : for staying home and being here with me , because you know i need you . whip : i need you , taylor . i need my wife . taylor : i am worried about my son , though . but i will trust ridge to handle it . in the meantime , why do n't you allow me to handle you ? [ scene_break ] ridge : i do n't like the position we 're in . i 'm torn between my own feelings and what 's best for forrester . eric : well , what 's best for forrester is for us to get beyond this as soon as we can . ridge : for years , we 've been striving to get the younger demographic . well , guess what ? we have it . it 's all in response to this kiss . eric : at what cost ? some of our longest standing customers are horrified . thomas : has anybody cancelled ? thorne : ( chuckles ) not yet . thomas : they wo n't . it 's a publicity campaign . maybe the old stodgy types do n't like it , but they 're not gon na drop us . rick : wait , back your truck up , thomas . all right ? you push people too far , you lose them . eric : i do n't think a shock - publicity campaign is what forrester needs . ridge : we have to deal with what we have here . we either run with it or we disavow it . thorne : ridge , we have to think about mother . ridge : i know , and i 'm sure she 's mortified . eric : yes . ridge , she 's fighting cancer . ridge : but she 's also made it very clear that she 's moving in her own direction , dad . if we look at this strictly from a business aspect , an opportunity like this comes along maybe once in a decade . this stunt has captivated the media the world over . i do n't like it . but i can not ignore the impact it 's had on us . i say we embrace it . i say we run with it . i say we promote it . it would make this men 's line our biggest hit ever . eric : for the record , i do n't like it . rick : ( scoffs ) dad , we have an opportunity here . yes , it 's provocative . yes , it 's controversial . but this men 's line could be right up front exactly where we want it . thorne : ridge , come on . it 's ... ( scoffs ) taboo . ridge : taboo . exactly . it 's risky . it 's a gamble . but the potential is huge . okay , as c.e.o . , i have to make a decision here . we 're gon na run with it . eric : ( sighs ) ridge : thomas , your men 's line is a go . brooke : ( gasps ) ridge : and we 're going to call it `` taboo . `` thomas : ( laughs ) brooke : ( chuckles ) thorne : ( scoffs ) thomas : dad , thank you . [ scene_break ] oliver : ( laughs ) stop . stop . amber : ( giggles ) okay . oliver : i should get to work . amber : really ? i was hoping maybe you 'd work from home today . oliver : hmm , that is an idea . amber : it 's a very good idea . oliver : maybe i can . amber : maybe . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : dad , i do n't want to cause any problems for you . are you sure you want to go ahead with the men 's line , rebranding it taboo ? ridge : there 's going to be criticisms . there 's gon na be accusations that we 're sensationalizing , moral outrage , and you two are gon na be at the center of it . can you handle that ? brooke : what about you , ridge ? just last night , i made you a promise . ridge : we 're dealing with fashion here , logan , publicity , giving the public a show . like it or not , thomas ' stunt has captured the attention of the press . it 's all about forrester now . they ca n't get enough of us . they 're intrigued , and they want more . this is gon na keep our men 's line front and center . thomas : finally , my chance to score big for the company and establish my name . ridge : we 're riding a wave here . thomas : what are you working on ? ridge : a logo . taylor : what is going on ? brooke , get the hell away from my son . brooke : ( scoffs ) thomas : mom . taylor : ridge , oh , my goodness . i am so glad you were able to come here and see this . hmm . what is this piece of trash ? oh , my gosh . what kind of joke is this ? ( laughs ) obviously , brooke has come up with some new ideas . i would know that she 'd come up with other ways to profit from this , at least in two ways . brooke : ( scoffs ) taylor -- taylor : ooh , taboo . brooke and thomas . ( laughs ) put this in the garbage where it belongs . ridge : it 's actually my idea , taylor , for a logo for thomas ' new line . taylor : ( sighs ) taboo ? for our son 's line ? you 're kidding , right ? ridge : we have a window of opportunity here , and we 're going to take advantage of it . taylor : no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . this is not going to happen . no , ridge . ridge , i -- no . you ca n't allow this . no . i will not allow it . | thomas tells brooke that their kiss will have a life of its own and live forever . the impact will touch everyone . she is relieved that he is only talking about it being on the internet . he tells her that some day he hopes he can find someone like her . the reporters besiege ridge in the parking lot about his son kissing his wife and how the men 's line is going . ridge breaks away and says he will have a statement for them later . brooke tells thomas that she thinks ridge has forgiven her for this time , but it can never happen again . now they just have to deal with the fallout . ridge joins them and shows them magazines and newspapers full of all the details . he chastises thomas again for such a stupid stunt . they must do something about this . taylor tells whip that she talked with ridge and it did help . she does n't like brooke anywhere near her son , but she hopes this will all blow over . she is going to leave it in ridge 's hands . |
hope : our feelings have n't changed , liam , and you know the truth now -- what steffy did . liam : you know , i came to talk to you about that the other night , but ... you were busy kissing thomas . hope : i know that bothered you , but imagine how i felt having to watch you marry steffy . [ scene_break ] thomas : so , should i give you my sales pitch now ? ridge : no need . these designs are sensational . i can definitely see building a new line around them . thomas : really . um , you 're not yanking my chain ? ridge : no , son . i 'm tired of that . i miss our closeness . i want my son back . thomas : i love you , dad . ridge : i love you , too , son .

[ scene_break ] jackie : you are ordering me to stay away from eric ? stephanie : well , are n't you getting a little long in the tooth to be playing homewrecker ? jackie : i 'm not trying to wreck anything , stephanie . you 're doing that all by yourself - and a very good job you 're doing . eric is a good friend . stephanie : [ laughs ] jackie : i 'm just offering him affection , that 's all , and he needs that . stephanie : you are hardly the person to give advice as far as relationships go . did n't you just end a marriage with owen ? jackie : it ended because i loved him enough to let him go . stephanie : oh , i see , and you 're expecting me to sort of let eric go ? sort of hand him off because he 's feeling a little frustrated ? if that 's what you think is going to happen , believe me , it is not going to happen , jacqueline . [ scene_break ] pam : sure is hot in here . my burners are full blast . this is really good for you ? nick : opens the pores . pam : feels like my pearls are melting . nick : well , maybe you 've had enough . pam : oh , no , no , no , no . i am not goin ' anywhere . i have had one heck of a topsy - turvy day . stephen left me -- called off our engagement . now , i could be home , baking my heart out to forget , but no - sirree - bob . [ laughs ] i am sitting in a steam bath with another gorgeous hunk of man , enjoying the view . [ scene_break ] jackie : so it 's back to `` jacqueline `` , is it ? does that mean we are officially rivals again ? stephanie : i do n't want to be your rival , and i do n't want you to be a problem for eric and me . now , he has promised to behave , and i have promised to be a better partner . jackie : well , for both your sakes ' , i hope that 's true , but given the way you 've treated the poor man over the years , you ca n't blame me for being dubious . gosh , if only you treated and doted on eric the way you do ridge . [ scene_break ] ridge : these designs would n't happen to be inspired by a certain young lady , would they ? thomas : hope . i 'm crazy about her , dad , i -- i actually told her so . look , i know she 's still in love with liam , but i will win her over . ridge : you seem pretty confident . brooke : ridge , i really need -- [ sighs ] thomas . you 're here , too . ridge : what 's up ? thomas : look , if this has something to do with my sister , and something she 's done , um ... brooke : steffy trapped hope in that gondola and lied to liam about it the whole time . ridge : oh , logan , not this again . brooke : ridge , she admitted it to her husband . [ scene_break ] hope : yeah , i kissed thomas . liam : okay . have there been others ? he 's falling for you , hope . he 's falling for you . [ scene_break ] nick : sorry to hear about you and stephen . it 's tough being alone . pam : a little support , is that too much to ask ? steph never once invited us over for dinner . no wonder stephen left . right ? nick : well , it 's been great talkin ' to you like this , pam . i got ta get back to work . pam : oh , not so fast , captain . [ laughs } nick : [ grunts ] whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! whoa ! [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] jackie : look , i have told you twice , and it 's not a joke . the check is in the mail . stephanie : so i 'm right . you 're gon na go under . jackie : [ scoffs ] all companies have their ups , and their downs ... stephanie : oh , come on . you would n't have entertained spencer 's offer if you 'd had another way to stay afloat . jackie : our companies , they just -- they were n't a good fit . i foresaw nothing but complications , so i turned him down . stephanie : jackie , you 're out a designer , you need a designer . if you do n't have designs , you have nothing to sell . jackie : i 've got ta figure something out , stephanie . stephanie : well , if that something has something to do with eric , forget it . jackie : you do n't control him . he 's his own man . if he chooses to help me ... stephanie : that is not going to happen . get that through your head . he needed his ego stroked , and you obliged him . thank you . it 's done . you are here alone . you have a company that 's in crisis , and no one is going to save you . [ scene_break ] brooke : i 'm sorry . i know you were hoping steffy had n't lied . ridge : that was wrong . she was just trying to protect her marriage . but i have to say , steffy would n't be in that position if hope had n't tried to interfere . [ scene_break ] steffy : oh . hey , you . thomas : you 're in a good mood . do n't tell me liam 's already forgiven you for lying to him . [ scene_break ] hope : liam , i do n't want to talk about thomas . i want to talk about what you 're feeling , now that everything is out in the open . i -- i realize that steffy told you the truth , but it 's a little late for that , is n't it ? liam , is n't it ?

[ both laugh ] bill : spend the day ? uh , i was talking about a little drive . brooke : you said that you would do anything . bill : i have work . r.j. : i have school . brooke : well , you 're too late already . bill : whenever i get there is on time . brooke : actually , i was talking to r.j. what about your independent study program ? what better education than to spend the day with the head of spencer publications ? r.j. : listen , mom -- brooke : no , this is a great idea . i 'm gon na write you a note for school , tell them there was an opportunity that could n't be missed , and you will make up your school work . i am so excited about this . i ca n't tell you . this means so much to me to have the two men that i love so much spend the day together and learn how to appreciate and respect each other . wyatt : i have never known katie to be interested in any man but dad . quinn : she dated ridge , did n't she ? and he hates me . i mean , he truly hates me . wyatt : well , i suspect that she found out how fickle ridge is , do n't you ? besides , katie 's been newly divorced for like 20 minutes . do n't you think she 's enjoying her freedom ? quinn : i do n't know . do the logan women do freedom ? wyatt : mom , stop . you 're being paranoid . quinn : oh . i 'm thinking that people are out to get me ? yeah , why would i ever think that ? wyatt : so what ? you think ridge somehow put her up to it ? no ! eric loves you . he 's not out to get you . and he also has many long - standing relationships , and the worst possible mistake you could make right now is to shut them all down one by one . quinn : i know , i know . i hate that he 's at odds with his family because of me . wyatt : so trust him . just like he trusts you . quinn : i do . i do , but his family and -- and katie just dropping by , i mean , you know ... i would be foolish not to be on alert . and before you say anything , i am not jealous , i 'm not insecure . i think i 'm being smart . katie : i really think this could be perfect . eric : i 'm glad to hear you say that . katie : i want to thank you for your support and your friendship . you 've helped me see something that i 've been having a hard time seeing . i feel like i 'm this girl who walks around with this , like , embarrassed smile on her face because i 'm the woman who lost her husband to her sister . again .

brooke : how can i thank you ? bill : within reason ? brooke : what you did for ridge and the judge ... bill : i did n't do anything for them . i did it for you . brooke : well , it 's amazing that you did it at all . bill : [ chuckles ] it is pretty amazing . i can hardly believe the words came out of my mouth . brooke : you saved them from what most certainly would have been prison time . bill : i guess i 'm just a good guy . brooke : no , i 'm serious . you easily could have turned them in . bill : if most of them were n't your family , i would have . but that would have hurt you , and i do n't ever want to be responsible for hurting you again . i love you too much to cause you pain , brooke . i just want the best for you . always . wyatt : wait , so you 're giving dad shared custody of will ? liam : again ? katie : yeah . thorne : yep . wyatt : well , good ! that 's -- that 's great . i mean , no one can question dad 's love for will . thorne : he has a hell of a way of showing it . wyatt : had , thorne . had . he 's changed . thorne : we 'll see . liam : why -- why did you do that ? katie : okay , this does n't go anywhere outside this room , but -- thorne : katie . katie : someone tampered with the judge in order to dictate the outcome of the case . liam : wait . wait -- wait a second . someone tampered with the judge who awarded you full custody ? katie : yes . wyatt : what ? who would do that ? katie : it was n't thorne . it was ridge . liam : [ laughs ] what ? ridge tampered with the judge ? thorne : guys , this is highly confidential . no one can know about this . katie : yeah . we can't . he could go to prison . liam : what ? wyatt : you better make sure dad does n't find out about this . oh , my god . liam : no ! he knows ? our dad knows ? wyatt : oh , geez . okay , um ... liam : oh , my god . wyatt : what -- so , is ridge arrested , or is he ... ? katie : no , no , believe it or not , your father is showing some mercy . wyatt : what ? ! katie : he says he 's a changed man . i do n't know , maybe that 's true , but it does n't matter . the judge 's ruling is going to be reversed , and bill and i are gon na go back to sharing custody of will . wyatt : yeah , well , it never should have been otherwise . thorne : highly debatable . wyatt : thorne -- katie : okay , we 're not gon na talk about this anymore , and we 're just gon na let it go , and , for will 's sake , we 're gon na pretend like it never even happened , okay ? wyatt : so is ridge pretending like it never even happened , or ... ? katie : i guess you 're gon na have to ask him . wyatt : oh ! ridge : i assume everyone 's been filled in . katie : yes , and we 're not gon na discuss it anymore . wyatt : i got one question , though . what were you thinking ? brooke : i 'll never forget what you 've done for my family . bill : [ scoffs ] you 've done so much more for mine . brooke : feels good , does n't it , this new skin that you 've put on ? bill : what feels good is seeing that , that smile on your beautiful face . brooke : [ chuckles ] bill : that 's all i ever really wanted to do , was make you smile . guess i did n't always do such a good job of it . brooke : you were okay . bill : `` okay `` does n't cut it . i had to do a lot better than okay . then we 'd still be married , and our lives would be very different . brooke : your life is different . you 've come a long way . bill : well , i have a lot further to go . a lot further to go with you . to show you the kind of man that i can be . brooke : do n't change for me , bill . change for yourself . for that man that i know you can be . bill : ah , well , therein lies the problem . i ca n't do it for myself . when i 'm left to my own devices , i 'm lost . but with you ... with you , anything and everything is possible . i lost so much when i let you go . and i just hope it 's not too late to show you that i can be the man that you deserve . when i walked through a snowstorm for a cigarette , liam : i mean , you 're saying you 're trying to protect will . yeah , like , so was i . so were all of us . but to contact the judge -- ridge : you know as well as anyone , when you 're dealing with your dad , you have to go to extremes . liam : well -- wyatt : he didn't . he actually played it straight this time . thorne : the judge made the right call , with or without ridge 's involvement . wyatt : so , how did you find out ? katie : my sister told me . ridge : brooke found the burner phone that i used to get in contact with the judge . when she figured out what i was doing , she went to craig , and everything unraveled . wyatt : so -- okay , so let me get this straight . the two of you knew , brooke knew , and no one reported it ? that makes you all complicit ! like , all of you could be serving time because of this ! you know that , right ? katie : well , we 're not going to because no one 's gon na know about this because of your father . liam : but it was after you found out that you gave my dad more access to will . katie : i was never really comfortable with this whole custody business to begin with . thorne : yeah , but we still thought it was in will 's best interest . wyatt : and how do you feel now , thorne ? thorne : honestly ? i still do n't think that bill 's a good influence in will 's life , and you should n't , either , given what he 's put you and your brother through . liam : how -- how did dad find out ? wyatt : he probably did his own digging . i mean , he did n't understand why the judge could rule against him . i mean , he probably pulled a few favors of his own . katie : well , apparently , he found someone who saw ridge going into the judge 's chambers before and after the hearing . ridge : then he hacked our phones , set up a meeting for craig and me , and recorded the whole thing . he committed a crime of his own . wyatt : i mean , can you blame him ? he just lost all parental rights with his kid , all because this whole thing was set up . yet , he did n't put you in jail , and that 's what i do n't understand . changed man or not , why would n't he put you and the judge in prison ? bill : tell me the truth , brooke . did you think i 'd turn in forrester and the judge ? brooke : i hoped you wouldn't . bill : i had every right to . some would even say it was my civic responsibility . brooke : yeah , and i 'm glad you did n't take it that far . bill : [ sighs ] i was so tempted , after what they did to me ... worse , what they did to my son , it was despicable . brooke : and yet , you showed forgiveness . not very dollar bill - like . bill : [ sighs ] well , i wish i was that enlightened when i was with you . brooke : you were a different man then . bill : yeah . i did n't deserve you . i was out of control . well , i 'm not that guy now . you know , i 've been telling anybody who would listen that i 'm a changed man , and i am . because of you and your believing in me , even when i was n't worthy . brooke , you have brought so much to my life . brooke : bill , i keep telling you . it 's not because of me , it 's because of you , the growth and the development that 's going on inside of you . bill : because of your influence . do n't you see ? it 's all about you . my life now , it 's my son and it 's you . everything i am , everything i 'm thinking about , it 's you , brooke . brooke : bill ... bill : now , listen , i know , i know . i get it . you 're married . you want to stay that way . i understand that . but i ca n't deny that i feel the way i feel . just know that whatever the future holds , there is nothing i would n't do for you . liam : i just -- i do n't understand why my father did n't have you arrested . ridge : but you do understand that he did n't do any of this out of the goodness of his heart , right ? katie : well , the point is , is that he did n't have you arrested , and we have him to thank for that , right ? liam : guys , did you even think about -- like , if this got out , the scandal -- the scandal that would create for forrester ? wyatt : yeah , like , if you two got arrested , do you think -- what do you think would have happened to this company ? ridge : wyatt , wyatt , do n't -- do n't worry about my company . i understand you 're upset . i get that . and you know what , you 're loyal to your father . it 's probably the only thing i like about you . but he 's not a saint . wyatt : well , i guess you could say that about all of us then , right ? ridge : true . but i did something to help your little brother . where were you ? thorne : will was in trouble , okay ? you guys were n't around much . but he needed stability in his life because he felt abandoned by his own father . ridge : and something had to be done . wyatt : yeah , like tampering with the judge . liam : still does n't explain why he did n't turn you into the authorities , i 'm just saying . ridge : now , why do you think he did it , liam ? katie : well , he says that he did it because he 's a changed man . because the man who woke up in that hospital room and took his sword necklace off is not the same man that he used to be . ridge : katie , katie , katie , i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry . he did n't take it off , did he ? brooke took it off . he 's doing all of this -- he 's doing everything for brooke ! because he wants her back . brooke : i hope this sticks . bill : what ? brooke : this new attitude of yours . bill : mm . yeah , i ca n't go back . not now . i have so many regrets . you were right to leave me . i was making so many stupid decisions . i mean , they were n't even decisions , they were reactions . i was obsessed . brooke : spencer tower . bill : yeah . sky . a monument to my greed and my ego . almost killed my son because of it . brooke : okay , well , let 's not bring the past into the present . just focus on where you are now . bill : where i am now is without you , and my life is so different because of it . you know , i -- i step back from it , and i realized that so much of my behavior was self - sabotage . do you regret it ? standing up for me against your husband and your sister ? i mean , a lot of heavy came down on you because of it . brooke : well , i had to do what i thought was right . and you were troubled . i knew that when you started chasing after steffy . it had nothing to do with your love for your son . bill : yeah , i preach family , and then i went about destroying my own . brooke : but there is progress being made . i mean , when liam and wyatt find out what you did for ridge and the judge , things will change . bill : you think so ? brooke : how could they not ? they 're seeing their father choose forgiveness . bill : everything changed when i woke up in that hospital room and i saw your beautiful face looking down on me . my boys were holding vigil . that was my wake - up call . you know , it 's amazing -- a man can do stupid for so much of his life , and then suddenly , there 's clarity . and what became incredibly clear to me is that i had everything i needed when i was married to you . introducing new rag simply . wyatt : so , all of this -- him not pressing charges against you or the judge or even calling the cops , for that matter , was all for brooke ? katie : she made an appeal , and ... bill listened . thorne : he did more than listen , katie . he did exactly what brooke was hoping he 'd do . ridge : and there it is . liam : okay , how do you know that brooke did n't just convince him ? ridge : because your daddy has an agenda where brooke is concerned . wyatt : so you 're saying he let you off the hook just to impress brooke ? liam : look , we 're all abundantly aware of my dad 's manipulating , but if he 's trying to get back with brooke , i mean , if that 's his intention ... is n't it easier to do that with you in jail ? katie : well , apparently , he 's not the man he used to be . ridge : katie . he is exactly the man he used to be . the only that 's changed is that he 's not targeting your wife . he 's coming after mine . brooke : bill , please . i really should get going . bill : no , no , no . brooke . please , just indulge me . i -- i need to tell you something , and i really need you to hear it . liam and wyatt , they loved and respected me at one time , but will and i , we were -- we were so close . i mean , you were there , right ? you saw it . brooke : yeah . he adored you . bill : right . and i abandoned him , just like my father abandoned me . i alienated you , everyone that i loved and cared about . well , i 'm not that guy anymore . i am not my father 's son . brooke : good . well , then commit to this change and be that man i always knew you could become . bill : that man , the man i am now -- do n't you see ? it 's because of you . brooke : bill ... bill : i know . i know . listen , i 'm not trying to sell you . you 're with forrester , and you have your own history with him . i 'm just trying to tell you that everything good that has come into my life has been because of you . and now i 'm healing my relationships with all my boys , and you 're right . the way that 's going to happen is from me being committed to being the best man that i can be . and the best man that i can be is the man that you 've been searching for your entire life . he 's standing right here before you . for the first time , i 'm worthy of you . now , listen , if you want to stick it out with forrester , then -- i 'm not gon na go there . brooke : thank you . and ... [ sighs ] thank you for today . thank you for your mercy and your forgiveness . i believe that you 're a changed man , bill . i believe that you 're a better man . bill : well , believe this . my love for you will always be enduring . forever and a day . | brooke tells bill that she can not thank him enough for what he did for ridge , saving him prison time . he says he did not do it for him but for her . he does not ever want to hurt her again . he loves her and always wants the best for her . if he had acted this way sooner they would be married now . he still has a long way to go . he can not do it for himself but only for her . anything is possible . he hopes there is time to show her that . he knows she is married now and he does not know what the future brings but just know there is nothing he would not do for her . wyatt is happy that katie is giving shared custody back to bill . she says it does not go anywhere but this room but someone got to the judge who awarded the full custody to katie . wyatt wonders who would do that . she says it was not thorne , it was ridge . liam finds it hard to believe and harder to believe bill even knows but ridge was not arrested . katie says he is a changed man . and none of them will talk about this again . ridge walks in and sees they all know but are not going to talk about it . wyatt says he has one question what in the hell was he thinking ? liam says they all wanted to help katie but they did not go to the judge . ridge says he had a separate phone and brooke found it and talked to mcmullen and then it all unraveled . |
brooke : just a minute ! bridget : hi . brooke : hi . bridget : oh , you look beautiful . brooke : thanks . i 'm going to dinner with ridge at the private dining room . bridget : oh , hot date , huh ? do n't worry , i will be quick . brooke : about what ? bridget : well , stephanie sent me to go over the guest list for your baby shower . brooke : oh , honey , i do n't think i can -- bridget : no , that 's fine . i 'll come back when you have more time . oh , you have to look at the mock - up for the invitations . how cute is this ? brooke : beautiful . bridget : yeah . mom , think about it , it 's actually happening for you guys . you and ridge are married with a baby on the way . could it get any better than this ? mom ... what 's wrong ? mom ? come on tell me , what is it ? brooke : something happened . something just terrible . bridget : what , with -- with the baby ? how is the baby ? brooke : no , it 's not the baby . it 's about nick . bridget : nick ? brooke : he and i -- we -- bridget : you what ? mom , you and nick what ? ridge : working something off ? nick : what are you doing here ? ridge : got a question for you . nick : and i 'm listening . ridge : it 's about the baby . nick : what about the baby ? ridge : i considering coming to you first considering how she feels about you . nick : i 'm not following you . ridge : it 's no secret she 's come to rely on you , trust you , considers you a very good friend , as do i . so i have no doubts about asking you to do this one thing . nick : what do you mean ? ridge : i would like you to be our baby 's godfather . eric : it 's actually quite a coup , deacon , signing amber as your lead designer . i mean , that 's three - quarters of the whole fashion game , is hooking up with the right people . look how it worked for us here at forrester when you were head of promotions . the promotion department would n't be half of what it is today if it had n't been for you . deacon : um , i guess i never realized you felt that way . eric : i was just hoping that you would settle down , that you would make some peace with yourself and start living up to your potential . and from everything that bridget has told us and everything i see here today , it looks like you 're well on your way . ( phone ringing ) deacon : sorry about that . i thought i turned this off . eric : happens to me all the time . deacon : i 've been waiting for this call all day . eric : go ahead . deacon : hey , are you able to thorne : well , do you think you 're just laying it on a little too thick ? eric : i have to set him up . thorne : but you do n't use caviar as bait . eric : he 's starting to buy into it , all right ? and i ca n't afford to be subtle . the only way i 'm going to get control of his company back is to appeal to deacon 's ego . he has to believe that i hold him in high enough regard to take over his two - bit little fashion house . thorne : and in exchange he gives you little eric 's 2 % of forrester creations . i know that . but if deacon sees through your act -- eric : he wo n't . anyone as hungry for acceptance as deacon is is n't going to see through anything . eric : deacon , i have to tell you that we really think you have a lot to offer and if there 's anything we can do to help , we would be glad to . deacon : i want you both to know how much i appreciate this . i really do . eric , frankly , i 'm trying to accomplish with this company , it 's about as far away from forrester creations as you get . thorne : what do you have in mind ? deacon : i want to go upscale street . i 'm talking about clothes that kids are going to feel equally at home on a college campus or an inner city basketball court . inner city but with a little bit of flash to it . eric : if you have a real grasp on what young people really want , this thing could have a real shot . deb deke you really think that i could be a success ? eric : i do . this has all the earmarks of a real triumph . ridge : i want you to accept the honor of being our baby 's godfather . nick : no . come original forrester , you 've got the wrong guy for that . ridge : why do n't you let me be the judge of that . nick : a godfather is supposed to be a role model , right , a moral compass ? i mean , i drink , i smoke , i live in this little tin can . what kind of example is that for your kid ? think about it . ridge : well , maybe we 'll clean you up a little bit . i do n't know . nick : that 's not going to happen . this is the picture and it 's not very pretty . ridge : how about when you were there for brooke when you thought i was dead ? how about when you risked your life and come and rescue me ? nick : can we just drop all that , forrester ? it 's getting old . ridge : i think you should be given a medal for all that . nick : god , forrester , you -- get out of here , will you ? will you just get the hell out of here and leave me alone . bridget : please tell me you do n't still have feeling for nick . brooke : no i love being married to ridge . i 'm happier than i 've ever been . bridget : is it nick , then ? does he think you two still have a chance ? brooke : no , he knows it 's over between us . bridget : good . i hate to think what it would do to ridge if he thought there was still something between you and nick . brooke : ridge is going to be hurt by this , bridget . bridget : i do n't understand , mom . what 's the problem here ? bridget : in south america , when we thought ridge had died , i was -- i was just half crazy and nick was so lost . and we never meant for it to happen . bridget : what happened ? brooke : we ended up in the foundary andi did n't think i could stand it any longer . and nick , he -- he just put his arms around me and -- bridget : and what ? mom ? please tell me you did n't -- oh , my god . oh , no . no . oh ... brooke : afterwards , it was like coming out of a fog and we just hated what we did and we wished we could take it back somehow . andi just wanted t wipe it away from my memory . and i thought that i could . because ridge was alive and -- ridge : was alive and we had our whole future ahead of us . but then ... i found out -- bridget : you found out you were pregnant . mom , are you saying this -- the baby ? brooke : this baby could be nick 's . nick : what 's the problem , you did n't hear what i said ? ridge : i 'm just trying to figure out what you 're not telling me . it does n't make sense for you to get so upset about something like this . unless -- unless that may be the reason you 're getting this reaction , okay . nick : i do n't know what you think you 've figured out . ridge : oh , i think ii put you in an impossible situation . asking you to be our baby 's godfather when you feel the way you do about brooke . i apologize for that . nick : forget it . ridge : no , i mean , i 'm going on and on , throwing it in your face about me and brooke having this baby and all . i should be more sensitive about it . nick : i 'm happy that -- i 'm happy for you that you 're happy . i would n't want to take that away from you for anything . ridge : well , nobody can , nick . nick : hold onto it . hold onto what you have with brooke . s -- she 's about as good as they get . ridge : you wo n't get any argument from me about that . which reminds me , i 've got a dinner date with her . she has some kind of surprise for me . i think it 's going to be a hell of a night . nick : hey , forrester -- ridge : hmm ? nick : you 're a good man . ridge : thank you , nick . so are you . get back to work . bridget : you may be carrying nick 's baby ? brooke : i know what you 're thinking but it was n't like that . bridget : how do you think about sex at a time like that ? i do n't understand -- brooke : it was n't about sex . it could n't have been far from that . i went to the foundary out of desperation , really . i mean , i just wanted to be close to ridge . i wanted to be near him again . and nick found me there and we were just two desperate people , just reaching out for something , for anything . just to make that pain go away . bridget : are you sure that is all it was for nick ? brooke : he did n't get any pleasure out of it , believe me . the idea of him having to live in a world without ridge , it was just too much for him to bear . and now we have to pay for it . but ridge -- ridge does most of all . bridget : he does n't know yet ? brooke : no . that 's what the dinner is for , tonight . i have to tell him the truth . so you can go and just forget about doing the invitations or anything like that because there 's not going to be a baby shower . after i tell ridge . bridget : mom -- brooke : honey , do n't hold back . you tell me , that i have n't changed and i 'm not capable of making a commitment . i 'll never be able to love anybody . especially after what i did to you . and now i did the same thing to the one man that i love more than any other . tell me , tell me i 'm a reckless , selfish person and i deserve to be alone much just tell me , bridget ! tell me . bridget : i ca n't tell you that . it 's not true . it 's not true , mom . it 's not true . it 's not true . brooke : thank you . bridget : you know what , i ca n't even begin to understand what it must have been like for you , thinking ridge had died . you -- you reached out to nick for a lifeline . brooke : is that how you see it ? bridget : your husband had just died . this man that you loved for half your life was gone forever . brooke : that still does n't make it okay . bridget : no , it does n't . and nobody can blame you for trying to survive . brooke : ridge can . bridget : he wo n't . brooke : i 'm kidding myself to believe that he 's going to stay with me after tonight , bridget . i really think i 'm going to lose him , i am . bridget : no , no , no , you listen to me . you have waited too long , mom . you have fought too hard for ridge to just give it up . he loves you more than anything , more than -- more than saving face or holding onto his pride or protecting his feelings . so you are going to walk in there and you 're going to look him straight in the eye and explain exactly what happened . and he 'll understand . just like i do . okay ? you 're going to get through this . you are . i love you . brooke : i love you . oh -- bridget : it 's okay . you 'll get through this . deacon : eric , i really appreciate your confidence in me . eric : deacon , in four or five years you 're going to have one hell of a company on your hands , you really are . deacon : four or five years ? thorne : oh , yeah , it takes at least that long to get this kind of thing together . eric : i 'm afraid he 's right . without the advantage of say ridge or brooke had of taking over an established company like spectra , it could take a long time . deacon : what are the chances of that falling into your lap ? eric : you put that quick mind of yours to work and get a break , it just might happen . you need any help you call us , all right ? thorne : good luck . deacon : sounds like i 'm going to need it . mr. forrester , i just had an idea . what if -- what if you took our company -- you know , under the umbrella of forrestercreations ? what do you think about that idea ? eric : take your company into forrester ? deacon : like a -- like a subsidiary or something , you know . would you be interested in that ? eric : i do n't know . i mean , you said it yourself , the two companies would be diametrically opposed . i do n't know how we could reconcile that . deacon : yeah , you 're probably right , thanks . eric : good luck to you , though . thorne : he 's eating out of the palm of your hand . you had him , dad . eric : yeah , but now he wants it even more . by the time we are done with deacon sharp , he 's going to be begging to sign over his 2 % . ( knocking ) nick : yeah ? hello , bridget . bridget : hi . nick : i , uh , just made a little something to eat here . if it smells bad , that 's because it is bad but i have extra if you 're hungry . bridget : no , i 'm not . i just saw my mother . nick : did you ? bridget : how dare you ? ridge : come on , johnny you know i 'm going to get it out of you sooner or later . if brooke is planning a surprise for you , she did n't tell me about it . ridge : oh , come on , she always works this kind of thing out beforehand . what is it , some kind of fancy dessert ? maybe nathalie cole is going to come by and serenade us with `` unforgetable `` ? brooke : nothing like that , i 'm afraid . ridge : look at that , johnny . the stars just came out . the most beautiful sky i 've ever seen . i 'll leave you to it . ridge : hi . brooke : hi . ridge : the memories i have of you in this dress ... brooke : i 've never worn it before . ridge : i 'm talking about the memories we 're going to make tonight . brooke : ridge -- ridge : this is exactly what we need , logan . a night all to ourselves , the perfect surroundings , and my very , very favorite meal . something 's wrong . why do n't you just sit down , relax and we 'll talk about it over dinner , okay ? brooke : i ca n't hold it in any longer ridge . we need to talk about it now . ridge : logan , what is it ? what is it ? brooke : there 's something i have to tell you . something i 've done that i 'm not very proud of . | brooke told bridget about nick and the possibility he could be the father of her baby . bridget does n't understand how brooke could have been thinking about sex when she believed her husband was dead . brooke said it was n't about sex it was about comfort . brooke told bridget she was going to tell ridge the truth tonight . bridget offered her mother support and advice . |
thorne : the way ridge is going about this , he 's not just playing hardball . he 's attacking me . stephanie : why do you think it 's personal ? thorne : he 's blackballed my collection , mother . he does n't do that with other competitors . brooke : as far as i know , the only account ridge has spoken with is jackie m . thorne : yes , which is the only company that 's willing to take a chance on us . coincidence ? i think not . you know what ? i am sick and tired of playing by ridge 's rules ! he wanted the spotlight , so i gave it to him . i stepped back . he could n't work with me here at forrester , i moved on . stephanie : honey , i know you 've sacrificed a lot . thorne : yes , mother . and all i 've asked for is a fair shot to prove myself on a level playing field . is that too much to ask ? eric : no . no , son , it 's not . thorne : well , then , why wo n't ridge let me be , dad ? is there something else going on here ? what is it ? thomas : hey , amber ? amber , you up there ? are you in here ? hello ? okay . ah , rick . rick : thomas , what are you doing here ? right , amber . thomas : yeah , it looks like we 're both out of luck . rick : there 's nobody here ? thomas : nope , this place is a ghost town . rick : bummer , i just wanted to say bye to my dad before i catch the redeye . thomas : oh , right , your big business trip . that 's got ta be tough on you and caitlin . rick : yeah . but , you know , we 'll deal . thomas : hey , the holidays are coming up . maybe she can fly out and join you for a little while . rick : i do n't think that 's gon na happen . thomas : is something going on between you and caitlin ? come on , rick . tell me , what gives ? [ caitlin remembering ] rick : i 'm sorry . i do n't want to hurt you . i never meant to hurt you . but -- caitlin : we have to face reality . i get that , too . [ knocking on door ] hector : caty , you okay ? caitlin : dad , what 's up ? hector : is something wrong ? caitlin : like what ? hector : well , your door -- you never lock it . what is it ? oh , sweetheart . is something wrong , honey ? did you have a fight with rick ? oh . caitlin : dad , he said he wants to `` cool things off . `` and focus more on his work . like , all i am to him is a distraction . it 's over , dad . rick and i are through . rick : well , i suppose you 'll find out soon enough . thomas : what ? rick : caitlin and i have decided to take a break . thomas : a break ? from each other ? when did this happen ? rick : tonight . thomas : but i thought you guys were doing well . rick : we were . thomas : so what happened ? rick : we just realized that we have different priorities . thomas : oh , you mean you realized . rick : okay , thomas , look , you might not understand this , but we are completely revamping forrester international . and that 's gon na require my attention 24 hours a day . okay ? and , caitlin , she 's a senior in high school . i do n't want her missing out on prom and all that other fun stuff . i 'd be holding her back . thomas : that 's bull ! rick : excuse me ? thomas : when you have a girl like caitlin , you find a way to make it work . unless -- rick : unless what ? thomas : unless you have something else up your sleeve . like another girl ? rick : no way . thomas : okay , then , may i make a suggestion ? rick : oh , feel free , thomas . you seem to be on a roll . thomas : reconsider this , man . i 'm serious . before you let caitlin get away . caitlin : i feel like such a fool . hector : a fool ? why ? caitlin : because you warned me this would happen . but did i listen ? hector : sweetheart , you were in love . caitlin : but you were right . hector : well , this is one thing that i did n't want to be right about . caitlin : but you are . my god , when i think of all the awful things that i said to you -- hector : it 's okay . caitlin : no , it 's not . i ca n't believe you guys did n't give me away or give me up for adoption . hector : well , your mother talked me out of that . caitlin : i even caused tension between you two . asking her to keep secrets from you . what was i thinking ? hector : well , the good thing is that your mother and i worked through it . we even learned a few things about each other . we 're stronger than ever . caitlin : do n't try and make me feel better , dad . i know i screwed up . i thought i was so cool , modeling and designing for forrester , hanging out with all the models . and then when rick showed interest in me ? i was just out of control . rick taught me that there is only one man in my life . and he was right . only it 's a different older man -- you . you have always been there for me . and now i realize how much i took that for granted . how much i took you for granted . dad , i am so sorry for being such a jerk . hector : apology accepted . come here . you know , to be honest with you , i feel more sorry for rick than anybody else . caitlin : why ? hector : because he 's never gon na find another girl who is as beautiful inside and out as you are , caty . never . i love you , sweetheart . caitlin : i love you , too . stephanie : there is a reason that your brother is doing this . brooke : stephanie . stephanie : he deserves an explanation . thorne : what is it ? brooke : nothing . it 's not even worth getting into . stephanie : do you remember after the competition your father had a long talk with you ? thorne : yeah , of course . i mean , how could i forget that ? stephanie : well , ridge overheard what he said . he heard your father say that you are our only son . thorne : yeah , and ? eric : we think he was very hurt by that . brooke : we do n't know that for sure . thorne : wait , hold on a sec . ridge is sabotaging my career , this entire family , because he heard you say i 'm your only son ? i am your only son . brooke : biologically . thorne : i 'm sorry he was hurt , brooke . okay , i really am . but how many times did i have to hear that ridge was your favorite son ? i survived . brooke : you did steal his designs . stephanie : oh , brooke , please , that 's all behind us now . thorne : you know what ? we 're a new company now . and i believe spectra couture belongs in a high - end boutique like jackie m. do you ? stephanie : yes . eric : absolutely . thorne : now how about you , brooke ? i want you to forget that ridge is your husband just for a second , okay . and you put that business cap of yours on , and you tell me , honestly , do you believe spectra couture can compete with forrester ? brooke : i was impressed by your showing . thorne : impressed enough to share retail space with us ? brooke : that 's not my decision to make . thorne : brooke , you 're the majority shareholder . in fact , you could override ridge 's mandate right now . brooke : spectra couture has n't proven itself yet . thorne : and if it 's up to ridge , we never will . look , brooke , i know your loyalties lie with your husband , as well they should . okay ? but i 'm not asking you just to save me . i 'm asking you to save my brother from himself . caitlin : i do n't think rick 's gon na lose any sleep over me . hector : he 's not worth crying over , sweetheart . caitlin : did you cry about mom ? hector : oh , yeah . but , thankfully , that 's all he the past . caitlin : i wish i could find someone that would love me just as much as you love her . i mean , you guys overcame so much just to be together . hector : you will find someone special someday . caitlin : yeah , i know . hector : you are so young , honey . you have your whole life ahead of you . caitlin : i just realize how lucky i am . but still , i ca n't help feeling really sad right now . i mean , i know this probably makes me a total loser , but i miss rick so much , it actually hurts . hector : i know . it 's okay . just let it out . caitlin : i love you , dad . hector : i love you , too . rick : caitlin is one of the sweetest girls i 've ever known . and who knows ? maybe -- maybe the time apart will be good for our relationship . thomas : so you still have a relationship ? rick : well , we 'll see when i get back . you know , we 'll see how things are . thomas : you 've got ta be kidding me . rick : thomas , i still have feelings for her . i still care about her . thomas : you ca n't keep dragging caitlin around . rick : okay , in a mature relationship , you do n't have to be attached at the hip to make it work . someday , you 'll understand that . thomas : you know what ? i do n't think i wan na understand that . rick : all right , you know , this has been fun , but i have a flight to catch . thomas : yeah , enjoy your trip .

[ scene_break ] eric : this does n't make any sense to me . thorne : that 's what mom told me . said some big blowup between the two . eric : your mother 's not involved in this , is she ? because i told her in no uncertain terms that she has to come to grips with the fact that brooke and ridge are together , now stronger than ever . thorne : i do n't think she 's involved , dad . i mean , she seemed confused about the whole thing . she did n't even know what caused it . eric : well , i hope she 's misinformed . you know , she has to be , after that speech that brooke gave about ridge on the podcast . thorne : yeah , it was something , was n't it ? eric : it was beautiful , actually , and i ca n't -- i ca n't believe that ridge would be any less affected by it than i was . no , stephanie has to be wrong . the last thing that brooke and ridge need now is another problem after everything they 've been through . what the hell could they be fighting about ?

( sighs ) you 're right . you probably have ruined your mother 's relationship with ridge over this -- this podcast thing . i thought i knew you . i do . but you know what ? the saddest thing about this whole mess is you 're a forrester . this is your family . you do n't treat your brothers and your sisters like this . rick : ( scoffs ) stop right there . because now you 're being inaccurate . because the last time i checked , ridge is the bastard son of massimo marone and you . he 's not my brother . stephanie : that 's a really smart way to get me to partner with you . rick : it 's ironic , is n't it ? but i did learn a little something over at forrester international . when you and your enemy have a common goal , you work together . stephanie : we do n't have a common goal . i 'm interested in my son 's well - being . you want revenge against him . rick : oh , you 're splitting hairs , okay ? we both want the same end product here , and that is ridge and brooke separated , not a couple . stephanie : i want them apart , but i do n't think quite as much as you do . i 'm not willing to participate in this lie . and let me tell ya , do n't be so confident . you know , where this mess is headed may be quite different than what you want .

[ scene_break ] rick : oh , stephanie , come on . you ca n't be serious . why would you blow the biggest opportunity in years to break up my mom and ridge ? why ? stephanie : my hunch is they 're going to break up anyway . rick : no , it 's not gon na happen . no , it 's not gon na happen . listen to me . after what i 've done , after what i 'm doing , if my mom ever finds out , she 's gon na be devastated . she 'll never forgive me . and that will drive her even closer to ridge . they 'll be tighter than ever . and she 'll probably never speak to me ever again , which you probably do n't care about . stephanie : well , of course i care about it . do you think i 've taken pleasure over the years in watching the problems that you 've had with your mother ? no . it breaks my heart when i see -- rick : ( laughs ) oh , god , stephanie , please . stephanie : okay , do n't believe me if you do n't want to , but it does . look , you 're such an intelligent and accomplished fellow . you did such a beautiful job at forrester international . why ? why do you continue to waste this intelligence and this talent and this drive fighting with ridge and so desperately seeking your mother 's approval ? and i blame her for that more than you . rick : you think i 'm needy when it comes to my parents . stephanie : ( laughs ) oh , my god . rick : okay , okay , okay . all right , i admit it . i do . but it 's all because of ridge , stephanie . no , he was my father 's golden boy at my expense . he was the center of my mother 's universe at my expense . stephanie : rick , honey , at some point , we have to become an adult . you have to figure out your parents did the best they could . you forgive them . and you move on with your life . rick : i am moving on with my life , stephanie ! i am finally getting the respect and the approval that i deserve from my parents . and as president of forrester creations , i will make damn sure that ridge is nothing more than a footnote .

( sighs ) brooke was such a basket case before . nick : why are you so worried about them ? katie : i guess i just always thought that they could survive anything . nick : uh - huh . and now you 're questioning that . katie : no , no . it 's just that this whole situation with rick has put a strain on the relationship . nick : right . well , it 's like i said before . if forrester makes her choose between him and those kids , he may not wind up on top .

[ scene_break ] ridge : you 're a vision , logan . everything beautiful in this world . brooke : i ca n't even think about my world without you in it . ridge : not ever . brooke : the place we got married , and here we are again . brooke : i will be your logan forever . | on the cliff above the beach , ridge spots brooke riding away on her horse . he shouts her name and she looks up . he comes down to meet her . they agree , here at the beach where it all began is their destiny . they embrace and kiss and begin a passionate reunion on the sand . thorne informs eric that ridge and brooke are having problems . eric ca n't imagine what they can be fighting about after all those lovely words that brooke said on the pod cast . nick tells katie to give up this obsession about brooke and ridge . do n't be so worried about them . he does n't want it to affect jack . stephanie still wants no part of rick 's revenge although she admits she would like to see ridge and brooke apart . rick snorts that he was always pushed aside by his father and his mother because of the golden boy , ridge . now as president , he is going to make sure that ridge who is just a bastard marone and not a real forrester is just a footnote . rick finally convinces her they have to be allies , and no one will find out . thorne welcomes a group to the spring line auditions and fills his dad in on other details . eric surmises the problems with ridge probably has to do with eric making rick president and him not wanting to cut the others any slack . thorne tells his father that rick might be great , but he is also very derisive for the company and could cause a lot of trouble . he advises eric to keep his eye on him . |
nick : ( sighs ) i have a question for ya . bridget : what ? nick : why are you here ? bridget : ( stammers ) 'cause i 'm just -- i 'm too wound up to just sit at home alone and wait . nick : uh - huh . bridget : you know , we could go to the hospital right now . nick : could we ? bridget : we - we could . and we could call sandy right now and let her know we 're on our way . nick : well , are we on our way ? i did n't -- bridget : ( sighs ) nick : of course we 're on our way ... bridget : baby , please . nick : because we 're happy , and we 're positive , because we 're having a baby . bridget : mm , thank you . we 're having a -- we 're having a baby .

[ scene_break ] ridge : hope , that 's not fair . i was n't playing favorites . hope : really ? because you 've yet to acknowledge that what steffy did was wrong . ridge : was it underhanded ? yes , but she was protecting her engagement . hope : ( scoffs ) um , i was engaged to liam , too . who was protecting me ? ridge : you chose to end it , sweetheart . hope : ( sighs ) ridge : now steffy has a claim on liam that you never had . you really should go . your life is elsewhere , not here . hope : she only has a claim on him because she trapped him . ridge : steffy did n't let you down , sweetheart . neither did i. liam said yes . hope : you 're taking her side ? ridge : i 'm taking the side of this marriage . that much is true . this family has had too many divorces , too much infidelity , scandals . hope : yes , yes , and the way that steffy took him from me is one of them . but you do n't want to see that . is it because i 'm deacon 's daughter ? ridge : you know better than that . hope : i used to think i did . ridge : ( sighs ) you 're not a child anymore . you 've really begun to make your mark on the world . you made a stand for principles and integrity . but now , you really need to live those values . hope : well , steffy was right about one thing -- loving my mother does n't make you my father . and as for integrity , i would weigh mine against steffy 's any day . there is no integrity in this marriage . it is based on lies and deceit . and liam still loves me . ridge : did he tell you that ? hope : he did n't have to . i can feel it . and so can you . do n't tell me to give up on the man i love . steffy may think that he 's hers , but he 's not . and i am not just going to hand him over to her , ridge . i am never going to give up on liam . | hope tells liam that they can still be together since his marriage was a mistake . ridge barges in and tells them that both know this can not go on . liam should not even be here and certainly not meeting with hope behind closed doors . liam chose steffy , not her , so none of this other stuff matters . it erases nothing . he orders her to respect liam 's marriage now . he rags on liam for things always happening to him that he has no control over . he reminds liam that he took vows with steffy so now it remains to be seen if he meant them . ultimately he will have to hurt one of them , not the way he is now by hurting both steffy and hope . go home ! hope is outraged that ridge is taking steffy 's side . he tells her that she is not a child anymore . she stood up for her integrity and values , so now it is time to live them . she vows that she is never going to give up on liam and just hand him over to steffy . nick chastises his mother that pam will not be able to pull this off with snagging any of eric 's designs .. amber yes because she is sneaky , but pam does n't have that flair . he ca n't believe his mother is asking him to play with pam 's feelings in exchange for some designs . pam manages to find some designs . she calls jackie to make sure nick will come through with her promise . brooke drops in on steffy and warns her that she knows the truth now that she stopped the gondola and then seduced liam into marrying her . she realizes steffy took a calculated risk in telling liam the truth herself , but telling lies always causes consequences . pam surprises nick as he gets out of the pool . he asks about the designs she brought , but she is n't budging . she does n't want him to put back on his shirt . she is gon na sit and enjoy the view . she could go to jail for taking the designs so now she wants nick to come through with his part of the bargain . |

[ chuckles ] eric : you 're very impressive these days -- jewelry designer , lead model , c.e.o . quinn : well , interim c.e.o . and temporary lead model , but as interim c.e.o . , i had an idea , and a very good one if i do say so myself . eric : really ? what is it ? let 's hear it . quinn : well ... i thought maybe it was time to further invest in the intimates line , and , as ... temporary model , i thought i would take it upon myself to model a design especially ... for you . eric : i like the way you think . quinn : do you ? [ chuckles ] katie : i ca n't stop looking at the pictures . rick : [ chuckles ] it 's the right house for you . katie : i mean , look at that kitchen ! rick : i know , and i expect lots of invitations for dinner parties . katie : really , what sold me on this place was the location . i mean , it 's close to everything -- will 's school . rick : and it 's right next door to dad , and that 's a plus . katie : that is a plus . i mean , i ca n't think of anyone who would n't love a neighbor like eric . there 's only one downside . i 'd also be living next to quinn . quinn : i really have changed . eric : i like it when you change -- especially into something like this . i know you 've changed , quinn . i know . quinn : it 's because of you . your trust in me ... your belief in me -- you have transformed my life . you 've made me become a woman that i can admire , a woman that my son can be proud of . i wake up happy every single day because of this life ... that we 're making with each other . you bring that out in me . you bring a lot out in me . eric : [ whispers indistinctly ] quinn : [ chuckles ] bill : you 've heard , `` float like a butterfly , sting like a bee . `` r.j. : yep . ali . bill : yes . that 's right . he was a dear friend of mine . they did n't call him the greatest of all time for nothing . that 's something we share in common . now , look . always moving . always moving , keeping your hands up . stick and move . stick and move . stick and move . r.j. : you know it 's a bag , right ? bill : no ! it 's not a bag ! this is your enemy -- your enemy . this is the dude trying to take your lunch money . this is the chump who 's trying to steal your girl . now , are you gon na let him punk you ? r.j. : no . i 'll file a police report and then get the girl back . bill : what ? ! no ! you got to knock this guy 's head off -- first . that 's what you 're gon na do . r.j. : i prefer conflict resolution . bill : conflict resolution ? really ? well , you have n't used that with me , have you ? r.j. : good point . bill : all right , sharpshooter . back up a little bit . let 's see the jab . r.j. : move a little to your right . a little -- a little more . bill : oh , that 's funny . you want to hit me in the face ? that 's funny . that 's a funny joke . let 's see what you got . come on . let me see the jab . come on ! throw it out there ! throw it out ! keep him off you ! that 's more of a hook than a jab , but we 'll take it . let 's see the right . throw the right . throw it out there ! throw it ! okay . let 's see that left again . holding that hook . good . okay . let 's see the feet . can you dance a little bit ? can you move ? do you have any rhythm whatsoever ? r.j. : okay . bill : okay , good . all right , all right , all right , all right . that 's -- that 's enough for now . i 'm gon na show you something , and i think you 're gon na be impressed . i 'm serious . it 's something very few people have ever seen . ridge : i understand why you 'd want bill and r.j. to get along . i get it . but it 's really not necessary . brooke : yes , it is . i 'm still wearing bill 's engagement ring . ridge : you can take it off . brooke : i 'm still wearing it because i believe in him . ridge : what about us ? you believe in us ? brooke : there are some old wounds there . we 've had our issues in the past . ridge : i 'm not sure why you would say , `` wounds . `` i think our ... good times were better than the bad times . brooke : yeah . but why now ? why are you doing this now ? is it because i 'm engaged to somebody other than you ? ridge : no . uh ... i think this whole thing with bill spencer made me realize that i do n't want to lose you . i ca n't have that . brooke : you need me now more than you ever have . i am a conquest because forrester is in eric and quinn 's hands . so , who 's your next conquest ? who 's gon na be prettier than me , younger than me ? what is going to make you ... walk away ? bill : this is a real privilege , kid . very few people have seen this room . [ inhales deeply ] ahh . you smell that ? take it in . r.j. : what is this place ? bill : my safe room . r.j. : what 's that for ? bill : security . that 's just the tip of the iceberg . there 's a lot more firepower where that little guy came from . let me show you the big one . r.j. : no , no . it 's okay . it 's fine . what about this ? bill : cash . cold , hard cash . every kind of currency you can imagine -- yen , rand , euros . you name it , i 've got it . r.j. : why ? bill : because i like to be prepared in case there 's an emergency . you see , some people stock water and food . i 'll buy out their water and food . i 've got enough scotch to last me two lifetimes . r.j. : so , this is -- this is your own survival kit ? bill : cash , r.j. cash is king . it 's all you need . cash has the world at your feet . now go ahead . smell it . take a whiff of that . it 's the greatest smell on the planet . ridge : i understand why you 're guarded , but this time you 're wrong . brooke : you always want what you ca n't have . ridge : are you saying i ca n't have you ?

quinn : just for being you . eric : you 've brought so much to my life , quinn . i think of who i was just a few short months ago ... i was out of work . i was disconnected from the company . i was living alone . i had a son who was trying to steal forrester creations from me , and now -- and now i 'm c.e.o . again . got my interim chief right here . quinn : [ chuckles softly ] eric : company 's thriving . it 's all on a roll right now . to top it all off , i have this beautiful woman in my bed with me . quinn : yeah . eric : oh , wait . she 's my wife . quinn : i am . eric : [ chuckles ] my beautiful , beautiful , talented wife who can do anything she wants . quinn : thank you . mmm . eric : the doubters did n't believe that you could do it , but i knew you could . quinn : well , i used to be one of those doubters . i did n't believe in my own potential until you -- your faith in me . i just want to make you proud all the time . have you ever regretted any of the decisions you 've made on my behalf ? eric : not once . i believe in you more than anyone else ever could . quinn : more importantly , i want to spend the rest of our lives living just like this , on our beautiful hilltop that has become our own private paradise . katie : i just love it . it 's right at the top of the hill like that . that view . oh , my gosh . now that i put an offer in , i want it so bad . eric : even with quinn next door ? katie : yeah . it was kind of weird , the way she confronted me . rick : yeah . you were just -- just coming to say thank you to dad . you brought him a gift . that 's no big deal . katie : i know . really ? i guess i can kind of understand . i mean , she was protecting her marriage . rick : well , i still think that she 's unstable . and i tell you what -- if you get the house , i 'll buy a pair of binoculars so you can keep an eye on quinn . katie : [ chuckles ] really ? brooke : why are we here , ridge ? why did you bring me to stephanie 's grave ? rick : you do n't have to do anything . you can move right in . katie : if i 'm lucky enough to get the house . rick : i got a good feeling about this one . katie : your dad does , too . he 's just been so positive and upbeat . i know eric and quinn love each other , but how a man like him ended up with a woman like quinn -- i will never understand it . quinn : so , while i was at the office , doing my very best to try to fill your shoes , what did you do today ? eric : you may find it hard to believe , but i actually got out of the house today . quinn : you did ? eric : i did . i took a walk . i took a walk next door to the gantz house . it 's for sale . i wanted to check it out . quinn : oh ? eric : the fact is rick has been helping katie look for a place to live , and he showed her that house . and she 's interested . quinn : katie ? katie logan ? bill : so , what do you think ? pretty cool , huh ? r.j. : so , this room 's for , like , nuclear wars and stuff ? bill : civil unrest , catastrophic earthquake . r.j. : then should n't you have first - aid kits , water purifiers -- you know , practical stuff ? bill : that 's in the practical room . so , how much you think is in here ? r.j. : moneywise ? bill : yeah . quick guess . i 'm not gon na tell you , but have some fun . r.j. : i do n't know . $ 1 million ? bill : higher . r.j. : $ 2 million ? bill : higher . guess again . r.j. : you 're really into money , are n't you ? bill : ca n't get enough . it 's the only thing i 've really ever been able to count on in my life . now , there are four things i 'm loyal to -- my kids , my company , money , your mother , and money . r.j. : you already said , `` money . `` bill : i know . i just like the word . do n't you like the way it rolls off your tongue ? `` money . `` r.j. : you 're really into it . bill : they do n't call me `` dollar bill `` for nothing . r.j. : [ chuckles softly ] ridge : i like to come here sometimes -- be close to my mother . brooke : me , too . i do miss stephanie . ridge : yeah . she was a wise woman , huh ? difficult but wise . would always do what was best for her family and her children . brooke : especially you , her beloved son . ridge : i imagine that 's true . brooke : [ sighs ] she fought me so hard for so many years . she almost did me in . ridge : but that has made you the amazing woman you are today , so there . brooke : well , a big part of who i am is because of stephanie -- her strength and her dignity . i just wish i was more like her . ridge : in the end , she told you how she felt about you . i guess those were words you never thought you 'd hear . brooke : yeah . she finally told me that she loved me . ridge : she did love you . and i love you . always have ... from the very first moment i saw you , when you were catering that party at my parents ' house ... till right now , when we 're standing in front of my mother 's grave . there 's a lot of years in between , a lot of things that we accomplished . we helped build a family , raised a son . lot of history , lot of memories . you 're never gon na have that with anybody else . you know what stephanie would say if she were here right now ? brooke : before or after she 'd slap me ? ridge : oh , definitely after . brooke : [ chuckles ] ridge : she 'd say leave bill ... and come home with me . | bill works out hard in the office then tells rj it is his turn . brooke tells ridge not to encourage it but rj did go with bill but gave him a hard time . ridge is not sure that it is a good idea for her to punish him by being with lucifer ; they have nothing in common . ridge tells her that their good times were better than the bad times that she calls wounds . she wonders what it will take for him to find someone prettier or younger .. what it will take for him to walk away . he asks brooke to trust him ; he has something to show her . bill tells rj that he is a businessman , not a babysitter , but this is what his mother wanted so go ahead and accept it . rick is ecstatic that katie dropped by and tells him that she made a bid on the house so she is now waiting to hear . eric finds quinn upstairs and she says she went into the office for a little while but thought perhaps they could spend some time together today after the good showing . she throws off her robe and says she wanted to be a temporary model for their new lingerie line . he says he likes the way she thinks . |

[ clears throat ] katie : you said he did n't sound hopeful . wyatt : no , it sounded like they got into a big fight . kept using the word `` betrayal . `` katie : i just -- i do n't get it . after everything that they 've been through together , i do n't know why he would do anything that would jeopardize his relationship with steffy . wyatt : sometimes liam just does n't see the bigger picture . but he does now . i just -- i just hope it 's not too late for him . bill : make sure the chef 's prepared for at least a week . last time we ran out of caviar and champagne . had to helicopter it in . i want plenty of champagne . justin : you got it . i 'll make sure we tell them to be fully stocked . um , sparkling water , too , since brooke does n't drink . bill : i never said it was brooke . justin : you never denied it , either . bill : you know , it 's annoying when you 're as persistent as i am . justin : is n't that why we 're friends ? [ chuckles ] hey , i need a name for the flight manifest . what does brooke go by these days ? is it , uh , spencer ? logan ? bill : yeah , that 's a nice try , but , uh , no name needed . it 's my plane . justin : no . rules are rules . bill : all right . just call her mrs . spencer . that ought to cover it . justin : thanks . carter : well , first things first . let 's take off those rings . do n't worry . you 'll put them back on soon enough . tonight you pledge yourselves to each other again , reaffirm your commitment . it 's a loving symbol that you 're here for each other , standing side by side till death do you part . liam , steffy , please join hands . do you wish to continue having steffy as your wife , to honor and cherish , in sickness and in health , to be faithful to her for as long as you both shall live ? liam : i do . carter : steffy , do you wish to continue having liam as your husband , to honor and cherish , in sickness and in health , to be faithful to him for as long as you both shall live ? steffy : i do . carter : your intentions have been made clear . i invite you to share your vows . liam ? liam : i ca n't thank you enough for doing this tonight , steffy . for coming home to me after i caused you so much pain . i broke my marriage vows to you . and i 'm not even talking about the kiss , steffy . i 'm talking about trespassing in a way far deeper . i took you for granted . i set you aside , and i put sally 's feelings above yours , and i - i will never do that again . that is my vow to you , because i believe in this marriage . i believe in you . and you have to come first . nobody else . just you . you have been the one constant in my life . you have been the one person that i can trust more than anyone else . steffy : [ exhales sharply ] liam : and from this day forward , i vow , i pledge i will be worthy of you . carter : steffy , please share your vows . steffy : you say that i 'm a constant in your life . well , that 's what you are for me . i ca n't imagine walking away from what we have . and i ca n't even imagine a life with ... [ sighs ] with someone else . because you 're my forever . and i meant that in australia , and i mean it today . there 's no mistake you can make to change that . [ sniffles ] everyone makes mistakes . [ sighs ] i made a terrible mistake tonight . i ... i almost forgot what we are . we 're amazing on our own , but together we can overcome anything . and you reminded me of that , and i am so grateful for this ceremony . thank you so , so much . i needed this . i needed it more than you know . i 'm never gon na leave you again . ever . carter : let 's put these babies back on . [ chuckles ] here you go . place the rings on her finger and repeat after me . `` take this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion . `` liam : take this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion . carter : `` from this day forward , i recommit myself to you . `` liam : from this day forward , i recommit myself to you . carter : steffy . `` take this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion to you . `` steffy : take this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion to you . carter : `` from this day forward , i recommit myself to you . `` steffy : from this day forward , i recommit myself to you . carter : it is my honor and absolute pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife . liam : again . carter : still . liam : thank you for coming home to me . wyatt : you know , maybe we should call my dad over here , huh ? we can tell him what 's been going on , get it over with , offer him a slice . katie : i thought we agreed it was better to keep this on the down - low for as long as possible . wyatt : you 're probably right . katie : i know what we should do . wyatt : hmm ? katie : we should wait until bill is involved with some other woman , you know ? if brooke comes back to him or whoever . it wo n't take long . wyatt : right . katie : and then we tell him . wyatt : yeah . katie : he wo n't care . sound like a plan ? wyatt : when you 're right , you 're right . you 're right , you 're right . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : thank you for understanding . sometimes i think you understand me better than anyone ever has . liam : thanks again , carter . carter : my pleasure . liam : well , we did it . steffy : we did . a new marriage . liam : starting tonight . united as one , stronger than ever . steffy : is it really possible to put all of this behind us ? liam : we just did . right ? steffy : yeah . i 'm so lucky . liam : i 'm the lucky one . you trust me , right ? i will never betray you again . i will never disrespect our vows again . | liam tells steffy that she has no idea how glad he is that she is home . she has nothing to worry about . he was the one who betrayed their marriage vows but they can put this behind them . steffy says she still wishes they could go back . a knock at the door and it is carter . steffy is caught by surprise when liam tells carter they would like to renew their vows tonight . carter says he wished he had known so he could have been prepared . liam says he wanted to for the future but steffy was not there and suddenly this beautiful creature walked in and he knew he wanted it tonight . steffy is aghast but says okay . liam says he needs to say the words after what he did with sally , to prove to steffy that he will never do this again . he will correct his mistakes . she says he is right . they need a fresh start in their marriage . she clings to him . a knock at katie 's door calls out pizza guy . she says there is no one home but `` little old me `` and she is just getting ready for bed . she opens the door and there is wyatt disguised with mustache , baseball cap and shorts with his delivery . she grabs his shirt and drags him in with a sly look on her face . and sure enough she has no money and he does not take checks but thinks they can work something out . in bed he says maybe he should come over in a disguise all the time . wyatt tells katie that sometimes liam does not see the bigger picture . he hopes he does now . |
brooke : you guys know you 're always welcome here , but i do n't think it 'll help your case if you 're the first thing that ridge sees when he walks through that door . thorne : we 're not gon na hang around , believe me . darla : we just wanted to stop by and thank you in person . brooke : i have n't done anything or promised anything . thorne : maybe not yet but you will . brooke : you seem confident . thorne : i know you , brooke . and you know what 's right . darla : and i think you also know that it 's completely out of line for ridge to block the distribution of spectra couture . thorne : yes , and you 're the largest stockholder , not ridge . brooke , you can put an end to this . you can give spectra the chance that we deserve to enter this marketplace . now all we 're asking for is a shot . [ cell phone rings ] brooke : hello ? oh , hi , ridge . good , then i 'll see you soon . i love you , too . bye . he 'll be here in a few minutes . thorne : we wo n't be . brooke : okay . darla : thank you in advance , brooke . oh , i know you wo n't let us down . thank you .

[ scene_break ] thorne : mother ! what are you doing here ? darla : hi , stephanie . where 's sally ? stephanie : i think with the physical therapist . thorne : ouch . darla : poor guy . stephanie : did you take my advice , did you go and see brooke this morning ? darla : we just came from seeing brooke . you know , she did n't promise us anything , but i think she 's gon na come around , right , babe ? thorne : mm - hmm . stephanie : she 's got to assert herself on this . it 's so important . she 's really needs to stand up to ridge . thorne : you 'd really like that , would n't you , mother ? stephanie : well , of course i would . what are you implying ? thorne : come on . it 's great that brooke supports our cause , but it would be even better if her and ridge fight about it , right ? i know what you 're thinking -- maybe we can get my clothes into jackie m , and then brooke and ridge break up at the same time . stephanie : well , anything 's possible , i suppose -- darla : oh , come on , guys -- please , nobody 's gon na have to break up here . i think all brooke needs to do is convince ridge to drop this vendetta and then she would n't have to vote against him . you know , and if there 's anybody that ridge would listen to , it 's brooke . right ? [ scene_break ] ridge : all right . thank you very much . have one on me . take care . hello , everybody ! anybody home ? hello ? brooke : just your loving wife and lovable new baby . ridge : hey , there . hey , there , did you miss your daddy ? did you ? huh ? brooke : well , i sure did . ridge : yeah ? brooke : mm - hmm . ridge : well , i missed you guys , too . you have a present over there in the suitcase . but yours , little guy , look at this -- from one of rome 's best little toy stores -- brooke : oh , look at that ! ridge : ciao ! bambino . ciao . ciao . ciao . where is everybody ? i got gifts for everyone . brooke : phoebe and steffy are at their music lessons , and thomas is at forrester , and hope is at preschool . i 'm going to have to get her up before too long . ridge : oh , well , do n't just leave us now . you and i have got a lot to catching up to do . brooke : oh . [ scene_break ] thomas : look , caitlin , i realize i was a bit of a jerk about the whole rick thing at first . caitlin : it 's okay . you were just worried about me . thomas : well , i 'm sorry about the way it worked out between you two . caitlin : or did n't work out , more precisely . thomas : just know that if you ever want someone to talk to or hang out with -- get you more brownies -- let me know . caitlin : thanks . how about a hug ? thomas : come here . [ scene_break ] darla : okay , we have to think positive here . because i know in brooke 's heart , that she agrees with us . you know , she thinks that ridge forcing jackie m into not carrying spectra couture is wrong . stephanie : but she did n't tell you that she would get into this with him , did she ? and that 's what worries me . darla : well , but stephanie , it 's gon na take a lot of guts to stand up to ridge . thorne : well , i just ca n't believe that brooke would just throw out all of her principles and let ridge bulldoze over me and everyone at forrester . i mean , she will at least put up a good fight . stephanie : i 'm beginning to have my doubts . [ scene_break ] ridge : well , that 's one perk you certainly do n't get in business class . brooke : i certainly hope not . catherine : hey , ridge ! ridge : hey . catherine : sorry to interrupt , but r.j . here has a stroller - date with the gorgeous one - year - old down the street . brooke : oh , you mean the little girl with the gorgeous male nanny ? catherine : yeah . ridge : yeah , yeah . well , knock yourself out , kiddo . did i happen mentioned how much i 've missed you ? brooke : likewise . it must have been pretty rough over there . ridge : it just kept getting more and more frustrating as time went on . i never should 've even had to make that damn trip . i resent being away from you and the kids , and massimo . brooke : i 'm sure massimo would understand . he knows what it takes to run a company . ridge : it 's all damage control , logan . you have no idea of the confusion and image problems we 're having with our foreign distributors . `` spectra couture by thorne forrester `` was all they could talk about -- why did n't forrester creations have a fall showing ? did thorne actually steal mine and dad designs from us ? how could that happen ? why would we let that happen ? fortunately , i had all my answers down pat , just to kinda put a good spin on things -- but i pretty much spent every hotel night wondering how my brother could have screwed us over so completely . brooke : the important thing is that you did control the damage . the worst is over . ridge : but is it really ? now that mother and dad are playing that `` forgive and forget `` game with thorne , i 'm just supposed to be okay sharing rack space with spectra ? at jackie m or god knows what other place . well , forget it , logan . it 's not gon na happen . [ scene_break ] caitlin : no , no , no , no . amber : i do n't know . well , you know , i was thinking maybe we should try a , like , a solid gold pant as opposed to such a colorful one . caitlin : amber , you scared me . amber : sorry . that 's what i call deep into your work . caitlin : yeah , well , ridge will be back in the office tomorrow , so i want to make sure i have good stuff to show him . amber : well , this design 's great . it really is . caitlin : thanks . so , um , you do n't have to butter me up first , amber . you can just get right to your point . amber : what point ? caitlin : the `` i - told - you - so `` ? come on , amber . i 'm sure you heard rick and i broke up . amber : i had no idea . caitlin : you did n't ? thomas did n't tell you ? amber : no , no . i have n't seen him yet , i was on my way to see him and i saw you in here and thought i 'd stop by and say hi -- i 'm really sorry to hear that . you guys , you seemed like you had something really positive and healthy together . i guess , sometimes things just do n't work out . and then , other times , a relationship that everybody thinks is the worst idea in the world ends up defying all of the odds and becomes something really special . caitlin : like you and thomas . amber : look , caitlin , i just want you to know that if you need a friend to help you through this , i 'm here for you . [ scene_break ] thorne : you 've told brooke if she wanted to be a full - fledged forrester , that she should do what 's best for this family . now , i have to believe that 's what she 's gon na do . darla : well , she does want us all to get along . and she owns a big chunk of the stock . stephanie : owning and using it are two different things . thorne : man -- it would n't have to be a vote if she could talk ridge out of doing this . stephanie : i hope she at least tries . [ scene_break ] ridge : you know , you still have n't told me what i 'm most interested in -- which is , how you 've been doin ' . brooke : oh , i 'm okay . ridge : just okay ? brooke : well , there 's been a lot going on at work . your ultimatum to nick has everyone buzzing . ridge : just business as usual . forrester is not gon na share retail space with second - rate schlock . brooke : i know that . but the problem is not everyone is in agreement that `` spectra couture by thorne forrester `` is `` second - rate schlock . `` nick thinks that you are putting him an unfair position , and that he should be the one to decide what jackie m carries . ridge : with all respect to my half - brother , he 's been in the rag trade all of , what , ten minutes ? but he 's also dating my sister , who happens to be on thorne 's payroll . brooke : it 's not just nick , ridge . it 's your parents , too . they think you 're being way too harsh . that this ultimatum is going to cause more harm than good . ridge : hmm . and what about you , logan ? do you agree with them ? [ scene_break ] caitlin : we 're not friends , amber . why in the world would you `` be there `` for me ? amber : okay , fine . maybe we have n't been getting along too well lately . caitlin : you threw coffee on me . it was an accident . but remember when i was living at your house after the fire ? caitlin : yeah , that was a great time . i really looked up to you . amber : and i thought of you like a kid sister . i mean , really , i did . i mean , there 's no reason for us to fight , caitlin . you and i , we actually have a lot in common . caitlin : us ? amber : yes , us . now , i mean , we 're both damn talented designers . and we were both raised without much money by single parents -- yours did a hell of a lot better than mine did , but , you know , we both became involved with the forresters , and the family and the company . we both cared about rick a lot . and we both probably always will . so , if you need to blow off some steam , maybe we could go see one of those gory horror flicks , or maybe we could go over to the bikini bar and check out the new crop of hotties . so , if you feel like doing somethin ' give me a call and thomas and i will be more than happy to escort you . i 'm gon na find thomas now . so you hang in there . caitlin : thanks , amber . i really appreciate it . i need all the friends i can get right now . amber : yeah , you and i 'll be great friends , caitlin . just as long as you keep your hands off thomas . [ scene_break ] darla : oh , god . this waiting around is driving me nuts . thorne : me , too , honey . but i 'm sure brooke will let us know something as soon as she can . stephanie : what makes me nervous is that we have to depend on brooke for something that 's so important . we actually need her to stand up to ridge . thorne : well , mother , she does n't have to defy him . she just has to talk to him . stephanie : well , it 's all the same thing , is n't it ? i mean , finally , after all these years , she 's gotten what she 's always wanted . she 's married to him . i do n't think she 's going to risk that relationship . the most important thing in the world to her is to be mrs. ridge forrester . thorne : well , we 'll see . darla : do n't give up yet , sweetie . stephanie , has n't brooke ever surprised you before ? stephanie : oh , many times and i 've never liked any of it . [ scene_break ] ridge : logan , talk to me here . brooke : you know i trust your business instincts . and you 've taught me all of the basics of the fashion industry . and i 'm incredibly grateful that we 're going to be working together again . ridge : why do i have a feeling there 's a `` but `` in there ? brooke : because , in this particular instance , i think that you 're overreacting . ridge : really ? brooke : thorne is your brother . ridge : well , that did n't seem to stop him from walking out on forrester creations and then blatantly stealing our whole collection to inaugurate `` spectra couture by thorne forrester . `` if anybody else had done that dad and i would have sued them into the ground , but because it was poor , mistreated thorne , he gets away with it . brooke : thorne regrets the way he handled things . he and his team have gone completely legit . ridge : yeah , so i 've been hearing . he does n't want to be treated any differently than any other competitor , which is fine . because i 'm through cutting him any breaks . forrester ccreations does not have to sell to any chain that refuses to uphold premium standards of couture excellence . and that includes jackie m if they decide to carry spectra . now , if nick wants to take forrester over spectra , that 's just good business . brooke : come on , ridge , you 're not exactly giving nick a choice . ridge : hey , he 's free to go with whatever designers he wants to . but we in turn are free to take our distribution elsewhere if we do n't agree with him . brooke : and what if your father does n't agree ? he is still ceo . ridge : logan , together you and i still control the majority of stock . so , my decision stands . after what spectra couture has put this family and this company through the last year , i 'm not just gon na hand over the keys to the high - fashion marketplace to them . it 's not gon na happen ! brooke : my god , ridge , do you hear how vindictive that sounds ? should n't this be about the product ? you saw the original designs of spectra couture and you thought they were great . thorne and his team are working at a very high skill level now . okay , maybe they 're not gon na be like you and eric , not yet , anyway . but they 're certainly not going to tarnish the image of forrester creations or jackie m. and they are not a threat . although , this ultimatum to nick may get the press and the fashion industry thinking that that 's how you perceive spectra . ridge : so you think i 'm making a bad business move ? brooke : i do n't think this is about business at all . i think this is personal . and i think it starts at the root of when you heard eric tell thorne , at the forrester / spectra fashion show , that thorne was eric and stephanie 's only son . ridge : oh , come on , brooke ! that 's ridiculous . god , i regret even mentioning that conversation now . it has nothing to do with that . brooke : well , it meant a lot to you , ridge . ridge : logan , it was no big deal , all right . i mean , he is their only son , is n't he ? at least biologically speaking . why would i be upset just because dad wanted to mention that ? brooke : because it flies in the face of everything that you grew up with . you 're entire self - esteem , your self - image . the relationship that you had with eric , that you always had . ridge : nothing has changed . brooke : something has changed . thorne has found his way at spectra . and the fashion industry has given their approval and you parents have , too . now , i know it may seem like this whole `` favoritism `` thing has shifted -- ridge : oh , come on , logan . wait , is that what you think is going on here ? you think i 'm just doing this to get even because i 'm jealous of thorne ? ! brooke : yes . that 's what i think . | thorne and darla stop off at brooke 's to make sure she will back them with ridge before heading to spectra where they are surprised to find stephanie waiting for them . darla and thorne are pretty sure that brooke will stand up to ridge . stephanie is n't so sure . thomas stops off at caitlin 's office to deliver something to eat and to offer his friendship in the aftermath of her break up with rick . amber overhears and after thomas leaves , she also visits caitlin to offer her friendship . caitlin is n't sure if she should believe amber or not . ridge comes home from his trip . brooke tells him that she thinks he is wrong in strong arming nick into not carrying spectra couture . |
stephanie : your mother 's on her way over here ? ( sighs ) no , i have n't told anybody about this little charade of yours . i was thinking of telling ridge , but then i thought the better of it . well , because if your father ever finds out i 'm keeping this kind of a secret from him , he 'll never forgive me . ( knock on door ) stephanie : that 's probably your mother . what ? no . do n't bring up your father 's health . do n't even go there . and i 'm not making any promises to you , rick . do you understand ? good - bye . ( sighs ) brooke , what a surprise . brooke : stephanie . stephanie : um ... ridge just went for a long , long run . i think he might not be back for two or three years . brooke : ( scoffs ) you would n't be trying to keep me from him now , would you ? stephanie : no , but i - i realize that you two have had a terrible upset , and -- i mean , is that why you 're here ? brooke : mm . stephanie : why are you smiling like a cheshire cat ? brooke : what 's wrong , i 'm not upset enough for you ? stephanie : no , it 's just , uh , well , i told you ridge is gone , so ... brooke : you just do n't want me to cross paths with ridge . stephanie : no , actually , it 's mainly i just do n't want you hanging out here with me . brooke : what about eric ? is he here ? stephanie : no , he 's still at the office , and your sister , if you were looking for her to hang out with , is still at the office . brooke : let me get this straight . donna and eric are at the office together working , and you 're here being the dutiful housewife . something is wrong with that picture . stephanie : you 're trying my patience . brooke : and you 're trying donna 's patience . stephanie : you 're not here to champion that ever - so - virtuous sister , are you ? brooke : what are you still doing here , stephanie ? why do n't you just move out and let donna live here in peace with her husband ? [ scene_break ] eric : all right , what do you think of the length now ? donna : yeah , good , good . but i do n't know . you should probably take the fullness out in the waist or ... eric : uh ... donna : well , you want it to be perfect , do n't you ? eric : yes , i do , but frankly , i think that this dress could not be any more magnificent than it is right now . donna : okay . it 's perfect . eric : well , good . and i , uh , thank you for your suggestions . donna : are you just humoring me ? eric : no . no . uh , if you 'll take this downstairs for alterations ... thank you . you said you wanted to talk to me about something . donna : oh , yeah . um , obviously , your -- your announcement made a little bit of a stir . eric : yeah , that goes without saying . donna : um , marcus gave me these . eric : what are they ? or do i even have to ask ? donna : e - mails and faxes from concerned employees around the world . and when i say `` concerned , `` i mean very upset , eric . eric : ( sighs ) yeah . well , we have been mired in controversy lately , have n't we ? thanks for bringing those to my attention . donna : sorry to be the bearer of bad news , but i - i thought you would want to know . eric : thank you . look , there 's something i want to talk to you about , too . i 've been thinking a lot lately about what 's most , uh , important to me in my life , and i 've come to the conclusion that it 's , uh , trust . that 's the most important thing there is in any relationship , and certainly in ours . i mean , without trust , you have nothing . donna : eric , please . eric : so -- no , no . let -- let -- let me -- let me tell you about this . donna : please tell me you 're not giving up on our marriage . i mean , we have been through so much , but -- but we 've made it . we can survive anything , okay ? we just -- we just have to remember how much we love each other , and i want to be with you more than anything in this world . so please , do n't ever doubt that . nothing and no one -- no one -- can destroy that .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : do n't come into my home and ask me what i 'm doing here . brooke : this used to be your home , stephanie , but not anymore . it 's donna 's home now . stephanie : eric has not made a decision as to who he wants to be with . brooke : he has n't asked donna to leave . stephanie : well , he has n't asked me to leave either . brooke : are n't you just putting off the inevitable by staying here ? stephanie : you 'd like to see me kicked out of my home the way you kicked ridge out of his . brooke : no , i did n't kick ridge out . i asked him to leave for my son 's sake . i had no choice . stephanie : no choice ? you chose your grown , adult son over the man that you supposedly love . brooke : if it were ridge or thorne , i 'm sure you would have done the exact same thing . stephanie : if it were ridge or thorne , they 'd never put me in that position . brooke : and what about the position that you 're putting eric in , refusing to leave this home ? you need to give him some space , stephanie , in order to make a choice . you need to give him some time to think about what he wants . stephanie : oh . you know , i can see that he 's infatuated with donna . i understand why . she 's a beautiful girl , and it 's been a wild , wonderful ride , but then he caught her with her panties down with owen ... brooke : ( sighs ) stephanie : and i do n't think he 's about to forget that very soon .

[ glasses clink ] steffy : so , do you think ivy really cares about wyatt ? liam : from everything i 've seen , yeah . why ? you do n't ? steffy : no , no , no , i - i do . i think they 're both equally committed . i just wanted to know your opinion . you know better than i do . liam : uh , yeah , well , ivy 's ... ivy 's just serious , you know ? and i 'm not saying she does n't let loose and have fun . she can do that . but she 's not a casual person , especially when it comes to relationships . i mean , she makes a commitment and she really sticks to it . and i think that 's why wyatt really has a shot at happiness with her .

that view from the veranda is amazing , from the ocean to the city . i just ca n't get over this house . amy : you 're going to adore living here . and just think -- you 're already friendly with the neighbors . katie : [ chuckles ] quinn : you told katie to get the house ?

that was fine . but then she shows up the very next day with a bottle of champagne , and now she 's buying the house next door , and you wonder -- you wonder why i 'm suspicious ? liam : theoretically , you should be honored that he showed you that safe room , because nobody sees that . r.j. : guns , money , scotch . it was odd . liam : yeah , i know . my dad , he 's -- he 's different . r.j. : [ chuckles ] liam : and he 's not like anyone you 've ever met , but maybe that 's why your mom fell for him . and he fell for her , too . just try to keep an open mind , 'cause they might surprise you . ridge : tell me your favorite memory . brooke : of stephanie ?

right into our old patterns . but it 's not too late . we can fight right now for everything that matters , everything that we fought for before , convincing stephanie to be on our side . we do n't want to just throw all that away , do we ? do we , logan ? eric : quinn , look at me . you 're my wife . all right ? i 'm committed to you . i understand your concerns . quinn : no , listen , i - i trust you . but katie -- i mean , she knew that i would be -- i would be busy with the fashion show , and she chose to come over here , wearing lipstick . eric : lip -- lipstick ? a lot of women wear lipstick . quinn : a naughty shade of red . and now she wants to buy the house next door . and rick , who is not my biggest fan , he 's the one helping her . and just , i mean , you do n't see ? eric : i see you , quinn . i love you . you 're my wife . i 'm committed to you . i want to spend the rest of my life with you . and no other woman can come waltzing in here with an expensive bottle of champagne and -- and some naughty shade of red on her lips and do anything to change that . and i highly doubt that katie is in cahoots with rick and the rest of my family . quinn : you 're right . you 're right . i know you 're right . eric : no more concerns about katie ? quinn : the woman that i used to be , she would be plotting right now to figure out how to put katie in her place , but ... that 's not who i am anymore . i am not gon na show you old shades of quinn . i do n't want to see old shades of quinn . i made you a promise , and i 'm gon na keep it . being wary and suspicious is not who i am anymore . eric : does that mean you 'll let this go ?

steffy : wow . is that thomas ' design ? ridge : yeah , he 's very prolific these days . steffy : should n't he be doing the fitting ? ridge : all right . he 'll be here soon enough . for now , let 's enjoy this . carmen , give it a turn , please . thank you . huh ? steffy : do n't tell my brother i said this , but it 's pretty spectacular . it 's for hope for the future . that 's where his head 's at -- hope 's line and hope . where could he be ? hope : i killed him . thomas is dead because of me . brooke : honey , no . it was an accident -- a horrible , horrible accident . hope : but , mom , i pushed him and he fell into that tank , and if i had n't done that -- brooke : honey , you were trying to defend yourself . hope : it does n't -- it does n't matter . the reason does n't matter . it still happened . brooke : thomas had become unhinged . he was willing to trade custody of douglas in order to have sex with you . hope : that still does n't mean that he deserved to die . brooke : no . no . but if he had n't cornered you on that catwalk ... hope : [ voice breaking ] he would n't tell me where douglas was , and i was worried , and i did n't know where he was . brooke : of course you were worried . but he used that to manipulate you . he had an agenda -- a vile agenda . hope : ridge is n't gon na see it that way , and neither will taylor or steffy . they 're just gon na defend him and vilify me , but as they should , because as twisted as thomas was , he was still their son . he was still her brother , and ...

[ sobbing ] brooke : oh , honey . honey . hope : huh ? brooke : honey . hope : [ crying ] i have to tell them , mom . ridge and steffy -- they -- they need to know ... that i 'm responsible for thomas ' death . what does help for heart failure look like ? ridge : this ca n't be right . this -- this ca n't be happening . steffy : liam , are you sure about this ? liam : [ sighs ] steffy : there 's no chance you might be mistaken ? liam : no , no , no . no . [ chuckles ] i saw the custody papers myself this morning , and that was definitely thomas ' signature on there , making hope the boy 's adoptive mother , and then brooke confirmed it , so ... ridge : oh , of course they did , yeah . this is what they wanted all along . they finally ... they finally got it . they -- they succeeded . they succeeded taking a little boy away from his dad . liam : wait . no . nobody took douglas away from -- thomas is still his legal father . he still has custody . i know you 're not psyched about this . i 'm not psyched about it either . but hope is just doing what she thinks is best for douglas . steffy : what 's best for douglas is n't up to hope or to brooke . liam : i -- steffy : they 're not his family . liam : i know -- steffy : thomas is . the forresters are . ridge : so , liam ... steffy : [ sighs ] liam : yeah ? ridge : why do you think i moved that little boy into my dad 's house ? so he could be with us , with his family . we could try to heal together . thomas is n't a great dad , but he 's working on it . and the kid was okay with it . he 's finally starting to trust him again . and your wife in 24 hours destroyed all of that . liam : wait , though , for all intents and purposes , hope has been the kid 's mom ever since we lost caroline . steffy : and we were grateful , but we all knew that was n't gon na be a permanent solution , except hope and brooke . they came up with this crazy custody ploy to have hope and you adopt douglas . liam : okay , i do n't know if hope would sign off on you calling it a ploy , but whatever -- ridge : what do you call it ? now where 's a plan to take something that does not belong to you , and when it does n't work , you try something else . what do you call that ? steffy : thomas would see it as a chance to have access to hope . they would be co - parenting . liam : mm . ridge : it 's manipulation , is what that is . it 's all it is . liam : okay , can we just , like , pause for a second ? because all we actually know for sure is that t -- ridge : no , you pause ! you know what , mate ? i do n't -- [ breathing heavily ] i think i know you well enough to know that this ca n't sit right with you . this is thomas ' son . this is his flesh and blood . i know he 's not a good parent . i know you do n't like him . but he 's trying . and he loves that kid . but hope , for some reason , thinks she can love him better . so she stole him away from thomas . liam : okay , you keep using that word , like `` steal , `` and it 's -- nobody is stealing anything . yes , obviously , there were better options for hope being in douglas ' life than sharing custody , and if i 'm honest , the worst thing about this for me is that it puts your boy in hope 's life forever . brooke : i wish i had gone to the office last night . my every instinct was telling me to , and if i had , none of this would have happened . hope : mom , no . this is not your fault . i called , okay ? i called . i told you not to come . brooke : i should have come anyway , especially when you told me that thomas had taken douglas somewhere , and you did n't know where . i 'm never gon na forgive myself for this . hope : there is nothing you have to forgive yourself for . i did this . i lost control . brooke : thomas lost control . you had to fight back , honey . hope : did i , though ? is that how it happened ? or maybe i was just overreacting . brooke : thomas threatened you . hope : i mean , yes , that 's how it seemed at the time , but now i just -- i do n't know . i 'm not certain of anything anymore . brooke : well , i am . i am certain . i am certain that thomas is dangerous , and i 'm certain that you did what you had to do to get out of that situation . hope : i do n't know , mom . i do n't know . i do n't know anymore . i mean , what if ... [ crying ] what if -- brooke : stop it . please listen to me . hope : [ cries ] brooke : all of the `` what ifs `` in the world is n't gon na change the person that thomas has become , what he did , what he tried to do . yes , it 's terrible that he 's gone , but ... hope : it 's because of me . brooke : no , it 's because of his obsession . he was consumed by it , hope . i mean , it was like there was a demon inside of him that he could n't control . hope : but ridge is never going to see it that way ! and douglas ... i ... i have custody of douglas now . i am his mother , and i k -- [ crying ] i killed his father . brooke : hope , honey -- hope : [ sobbing ] no , no , mom , he 's going to hate me ! that little boy , what he 's already been through to learn that the -- the woman he grew to love as a mother , that -- that she took away his father ? mom , i ... ruined everything . my life is over . brooke : honey , do n't say that . hope : no , i 'm going to be arrested . i 'm going to be taken away . i 'm going to be taken from beth , and i 'm never gon na get to hold her again . i 'm never gon na get to watch her grow up , and douglas -- i mean , he 's the whole reason i did this . he 's going to ... [ sobs ] lose me , too . i have to -- i have to tell liam . i have to tell liam before the cops -- before the police come and take me away . brooke : stop it , please . i am not going to let thomas ruin your life all over again . i 'm not . okay ? so .... we have to be careful about what we 're saying , about how we 're gon na react . okay ? we ca n't make any rash decisions . hope : what are you trying to say , mom ? that i shouldn't ... say anything at all , that i should just keep it to myself and not tell the truth ? the truth that ... i killed thomas ? ridge : what 's it gon na take , liam ? what 's it gon na take for you to acknowledge that my son is trying , that he knows he made mistakes ? he knows he hurt a lot of people , but he 's trying to apologize . it 's never gon na be enough , is it ? not for you , not for hope , and not for brooke . liam : literally all i 'm doing is pointing out that thomas did n't -- ridge : do n't point anything out . let me point something out -- something that we all know . thomas loves hope , and hope used that to her advantage . she -- she made thomas sign something he never should have signed . liam : okay . we 're all upset . you have to stop attacking hope . steffy : he 's not attacking hope . he 's questioning -- liam : how is he not attacking ? ridge : no , that 's what i 'm doing . i 'm questioning . liam : okay , you 're questioning . ridge : thank you , steffy . i 'm questioning why , after the first time they tried to grab douglas , and it did n't work , they could n't just let it go ? but they could n't , could they ? they could n't drop it . brooke could n't drop it , and she knew how i felt about this . she knew how the forresters felt about it and how thomas felt about it . but still , they kept going . they tried to find something , and they did . they found a shared common space . and they destroyed my son 's relationship with his little boy ... forever . [ keys jangle ] steffy : well , what -- what are you doing ? where are you going ? ridge : well , i 'm gon na go get some answers , 'cause this one does n't have any . thomas is n't here . so i 'm gon na talk to hope and brooke . liam : hold on a second . you -- you ca n't be going over there right now . are you kidding me ? ridge : why ? why 's that ? thomas is my boy , and as long as he 's breathing , i will stand up for him , especially ... when someone wrongs him . [ door opens ] liam : whoa . brooke : i did n't say that , honey . hope : is n't that what you meant , that you do n't want me to tell ridge or anyone ? brooke : look , this all just happened , okay ? you are in a state of shock . we just need to take some time . hope : time is n't going to bring thomas back , mom . brooke : i know that . but you 're panicking , hope . hope : of course i 'm panicking ! i killed ridge 's son ! brooke : it was in self - defense . thomas did this . he came after you . you were just trying to protect yourself . and , yes , it 's terrible that thomas had to die . but , hope , he was willing to trade custody of his son to have sex with you . i mean , how sick is that ? he just wanted to fulfill his crazy fantasy , and he was chasing you all over the building , trying to grab you and kiss you . and he had you cornered in the catwalk . hope : and i pushed him . brooke : you pushed him in order to protect yourself . you did n't intend to kill him . hope : [ crying ] brooke : honey ... thomas is responsible for all of this . he 's responsible for taking so much away from you already . hope : [ sobbing ] brooke : oh , honey . i just ... do n't want you to lose your life -- a life that you have with liam and with your daughter . i refuse to let thomas take that away from you all over again . it was in this small little village- steffy : i ca n't believe hope convinced my brother to let her adopt douglas . liam : yeah , i know . [ cellphone chimes ] steffy : [ sighs heavily ] a reminder of a meeting i have tomorrow . i thought it was gon na be thomas . liam : oh . yeah , i 'm sure he 's just fine . steffy : how sure ? liam : 85 ... percent sure . 70 % sure . 60 ? [ chuckles ] steffy : you know what i 'm sure about ? liam : what ? steffy : this place is not gon na be the same without you . is there anything i can do to get you to stay ? liam : [ laughs ] i thought -- i thought you were happy for me , mending fences with my old man , rejoining the family business , all of that . steffy : no , i - i am . i 'm happy for you . i 'm sad that you 're leaving , but , yeah , i 'm -- i 'm happy that you 're going back to spencer publications . liam : hey , i meant what i said the other night . i really am committed to spending more time with you and kelly and bringing beth over more often . i just ... [ sighs ] i wan na turn the page on all this ... ugh ... this drama and angst and it 's -- it 's not worth it . i wan na focus on creating a happy future for the kids and the adults . that sound like a plan ? steffy : sounds like a plan . brooke : i hate that this is making you suffer , and it 's all because of thomas once again . but , honey , if you can just -- hope : if i can what ? what , mom , put it out my head ? deny that it ever happened ? i ca n't do that . it 's already haunting me . i ca n't live with the secret . brooke : no , i 'm not asking you to lie , and i 'm not asking you to hide anything . i just want you to take some time . you 're still reeling from all of this , and so am i . but you ca n't make rash decisions . there 's too much at stake here -- your life , your future , your family . brooke : i know , mom . and i love you so much for trying to protect me . but i ca n't live like this , and i 'm so terrified of spending the rest of my life in jail , of losing beth all over again , of losing liam , but thomas is dead because of me . and even if we decided to keep this a secret , someone would eventually find out . someone would find some shred of evidence . someone would find out something , and besides , this is going to eat away at your marriage to ridge . so i have to tell him . i have to tell ridge that i killed his son . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] ridge : i just came from the office 'cause i know what you did . how could you do that ? how could you do that to a little kid ? do you have any idea of the repercussions , of the impact this could have on that little boy for the rest of his life ? i know you had a problem with thomas , but this -- this is how you have to punish him ? by separating father and son ? you destroyed their relationship forever . brooke : [ whispers ] stop it . [ normal voice ] i 'm not gon na let you talk to my daughter like that . hope : no , he 's right , mom . everything ridge is saying is right . douglas lost his father because of me . and i did n't mean for it to happen the way it happened . i swear . it just ... i know how much you love thomas . and i would give anything not to have to say this to you , but ... it needs to be said . he 's dead . thomas ... your son is dead . | ridge works with his models when steffy walks in and says wow if that is thomas 's designs . she wonders where he is . hope is in another panic that she killed thomas . brooke takes her by the shoulders and says he was a bad person . no he did not deserve to die but he was in the midst of trying to trade sex with her for douglas . liam walks in and says he has cleaned up all his stuff so he is leaving to work for spencer . both steffy and ridge give him a bad time about still being under contract but ridge finally says if it will keep this place clean without bill coming over with his musk and hair products , then so be it . they will allow him to go . he tells them something happened last night with thomas . he was not mistaken as it was thomas 's signature , but hope is now co - parent . ridge is livid that despite his trying hope has now taken douglas away . liam says no , thomas did not give up his rights . ridge says thomas loves that kid so hope is stealing him away . liam says no stealing . yes there were better options but she is not stealing douglas . and for him all bad things as it puts hope in thomas 's life forever . hope keeps repeating that she has to tell ridge and steffy . they have to know . brooke keeps saying that thomas lost control and she had to fight back , get out of that situation . it 's terrible that he is gone but ... hope cries that she is douglas 's mother now but she killed his father . she has ruined everything and her life is over . she will be taken even from beth . brooke says hope has to be careful but she is not going to let thomas ruin her life all over again . hope cries that her mother is asking her not to tell the truth . |
ridge : no . you and nick ? can you even answer me ? brooke : i 'm sorry . [ knock on door ] bridget : deacon . deacon : hi . bridget : hi . deacon : is this a bad time ? bridget : oh , i could actually use the distraction . why do n't you come on in ? deacon : really ? you feel like talking about it ? bridget : no , not really . what 's up with you ? deacon : saw your father . bridget : yeah ? did it go well ? deacon : it went better than i expected . stephanie : i do n't understand the problem . you are ceoof the company . eric : until deacon sharpe has a change of heart . stephanie : well , yes , i guess you 're right . that 's not the ideal situation . eric : no , it 's not . and i 'm gon na fix that . stephanie : so that 's why jonathan 's here this evening ? eric : mm - hmm . putting the finishing touches on the contract as we speak . stephanie : and what do you need a contract for ? eric : the contract is between forrester and sharpe designs . stephanie : sharpe designs ? eric : mm - hmm . deacon 's going into business with sally and amber . stephanie : that 's great . that 's wonderful . eric : yeah . it 's a new design house , targeting the hip , young , urban crowd . stephanie : well , sally wo n't be in competition with us anymore . eric : no , she wo n't , because i 'm gon na fold this new company right into forrester . stephanie : you mean a subsidiary ? eric : mm - hmm . i 'm gon na give deacon one - third ownership of his new company . stephanie : and what exactly are you expecting back eric : he 's gon na give us his son 's 2 % controlling interest in forrester , and he 's gon na give me the satisfaction of knowing that nobody can oust me as ceo of forrester creations ever again . jackie : oh , my god . nicky , how can you be so cavalier ? nick : i would n't call it cavalier , mother . jackie : really ? brooke is with ridge right now , telling him . nick : i know what she 's telling him . jackie : you 've got to stop beating yourself up . do you know that ? nick : either way you slice this thing , it 's my fault . jackie : why ? i mean , neither one of you were thinking clearly . in fact , i do n't think you were thinking at all . nick : we 're not just talking about infidelity . jackie : no , we 're talking about a baby . nick : i just ca n't believe i put everybody in this position . i ca n't believe it . brooke : ridge , look at me , please . ridge : how could you ? brooke : i do n't know . ridge : my brother . brooke : we were in shock . we just needed somewhere to turn . ridge : oh , so you turn to each other . brooke : ridge , it was n't like that . ridge , i love you . and so does nick . he hates this as much as i do . ridge : oh , do n't defend that son of a bitch . i asked nick to take care of you . what does my loyal brother do , huh ? sleep with my wife . bridget : so , do n't keep me in suspense . deacon : what ? bridget : tell my dad about the new company you 're starting ? deacon : yeah , of course i told him about it . you know , i show up , i 'm expecting your dad to give me , what , 15 minutes tops ? the guy takes me in his office , he 's talking to me like i 'm one of his old golf buddies , or something . bridget : well , my dad owes you , deacon . deacon : ah , what , are you kidding ? my ex - father - in - law , this guy still hates me , trust me . bridget : people change . deacon : well , uh , i guess that must be true , because your dad has just done , like , a complete 180 . bridget : okay , details , details . come on . deacon : um , all right . so i show up , and we sit down at the big board table . it 's me and your dad and thorne . and he starts giving me some very practical , sometimes difficult advice . but the thing about it is that he really seemed to like my ideas . bridget : why would n't he ? i 'm sure they 're fantastic . so is that it ? deacon : no , no . so we shake hands good - bye , and i 'm walking towards the door , and i get this idea , and i spin around , and i say to your dad , `` what if forrester creations just took sharpe designs underneath its wing ? `` bridget : did he go for it ? deacon : no , he did n't . he did n't go for it , but , i mean , the guy treated me with total respect . i mean this is the first time he 's even done that . bridget : sounds like he 's seen what 's inside of you . deacon : yeah . yeah , i guess so . just like his beautiful daughter is . eric : little eric asleep ? stephanie : out like a light . eric : good . stephanie : you know , i 've been thinking , starting up a new company , i mean , that 's gon na be risky . eric : deacon 's company is gon na fail . i mean that 's the whole point . and meanwhile , i 've rescued control of forrester creations . you have reservations ? stephanie : well , of course i do . deacon voted for you . push came to shove , he voted for you , and that 's what put you back in charge of this company . eric : yes , and he can vote me out any time he wants to . i do n't want him having that kind of power . especially after everything he 's done to this family . stephanie : listen , you 're not worried about bridget and deacon ? i mean , that 's so -- that 's so far in the past . eric : i would n't be so sure . stephanie , i saw him in the guest house with bridget the other night . stephanie : so ? eric : well , what 's he doing there ? why does she even let him in ? i want that bastard away from her and away from my whole family . now , do n't argue with me about this , all right ? my mind is made up . stephanie : i 'm not going to argue with you . i just think there 's a fairer and better way to handle this . eric , forrester is your company . eric : and once this contract is signed by deacon , it will be a fait complete . oh , he 'll sign it . he 'll sign it , i guarantee it . brooke : ridge , i love you with all my heart . please , please try to understand . ridge : i 'm trying . with everything in me , brooke , i 'm -- i 'm trying . brooke : i watched you fall into those flames , and i never thought i was going to see you again . and i swear if it were n't for those children , i wanted to die , too . ridge : is that when my devoted brother made his move , huh ? brooke : no , ridge . he did n't come onto me . it just happened . ridge : that 's what he 'd like you believe , i 'll bet , is n't it ? brooke : it 's true . ridge : how do you know ? how do you know , brooke ? really ? i think you need to -- to face something here . i think you need to face that that guy took advantage of you . you know , for all you know , this baby you 're carrying inside you could be his . oh , no , brooke . no . oh , no ! jackie : do you think he 'll forgive her ? nick : i hope so . jackie : what about you ? okay . i think that you should leave town until this blows over . nick : are you suggesting that i run ? jackie : oh , this is no time for bravado , nicky . nick : this is n't about bravado , mother . jackie : look , i know that you want to protect brooke , i understand that . she could be carrying your child . but if ridge comes here -- nick : i think it 's time you go . jackie : why ? you think this could be dangerous , i mean , if he should show up ? nick : he 'll be here . jackie : promise me something . you promise me you wo n't let things get out of hand , okay ? i love you , nicky . ridge : no . no . logan , this baby -- our baby -- it ca n't be nick 's . oh , damnit , brooke ! i thought this was all behind us . all the lies , secrets , scandals . i thought -- i thought we were finally able to build a life here . brooke : ridge , we still can . this does n't have to change anything . ridge : you do n't think so ? brooke : i was out of my mind with grief . and , yes , i made a terrible , terrible mistake , but once we do that test , we know it 's for sure your baby -- ridge : then what ? what , what ? we just forget and move on ? oh , brooke . i thought this was our chance . brooke : it still is . ridge , this is your child . i know it is . i can feel it in my heart . we can still have everything we 've always wanted . we can have our children and our family , our baby . we can have it all . if you could please , please just forgive me . ridge , what are you doing ? ridge , do n't go . please , ridge ! [ brooke sobbing ] eric : jonathan , this is brilliant . jonathan : deacon will think he 's winning the lottery . stephanie : yeah , well , in reality , he 's walking away with next to nothing . eric : which is all that creep deserves if you ask me . bridget : well , it is getting late . i got ta hit the books . deacon : hit the books . bridget : yes . deacon : study hard . i just wanted to come over and give you the good news . bridget : i 'm glad you did . deacon : so am i . [ cell phone rings ] bridget : oh . deacon : i swear , i hate these things . i ca n't stand 'em . i swear it 's like having an electronic lease . bridget : mm , go , answer it . deacon : i 'm sorry . hello ? eric : deacon , eric forrester . deacon : hi , eric . eric : am i catching you at a bad time ? deacon : uh , no , no , not at all . what 's up ? eric : deacon , i was thinking about the conversation we had earlier -- this sort of off - the - wall idea of yours to fold your new company into forrester . deacon : yeah . eric , listen , if i crossed the line or anything like that , i 'm sorry . eric : no , no . no , deacon , not at all . it seemed a little risky to me at first , but the fact is , if this works , i think it could be one hell of a business deal , for both of us . deacon : you do ? eric : yes . yes , i do , and i see no reason why we should n't get the ball rolling right away . i assume you can speak for sally and for amber as well ? deacon : uh , yeah , absolutely , yeah . i think we 're on the same page here . eric : good . i was able to catch business affairs before they left for the day , and they 've drawn up a preliminary deal memo . why do n't you come over to the office , take a look at it ? deacon : uh , right now ? eric : yes , unless that 's a problem ? deacon : no , no , that 's -- no , that 's great . listen , i 'm out the door . eric : good . deacon ? i have to tell you , i 'm really looking forward to this . deacon : yeah , me , too . bridget : come on , that was my dad ? deacon : yeah , that was your dad , and -- i do n't , i 'm losing it . your dad wants to take sharpe designs and bring it in as a subsidiary for forrester creations . i ca n't believe this ! bridget : get out , are you serious ? deacon : no , i 'm -- he 's drawing up contracts . he wants me to come down to the office . bridget : oh , my god ! deacon : this is unbelievable . oh , my -- bridget , this is exactly the break that i 've been waiting for . bridget : and you deserve it . you 'll see my dad wo n't let you down . eric : tonight , i secure my place as ceo of forrester creations , and we get deacon sharpe out of out lives forever . [ brooke crying ] brooke : ridge ? jackie : he 's gone ? brooke : i do n't think he 's coming back . oh , god , what 's wrong with me ? why do i keep hurting the people that i love the most ? jackie : nicky was asking the same thing . you know , ridge has every right to be furious . i just really hope that he realizes that nicky never meant for this to happen . brooke : he does n't . he thinks that nick took advantage of me . jackie : advantage ? oh , dear god . ridge is probably going to see nick now . brooke , we have to stop him . | ridge is stunned by brooke 's revelation . he wondered how she could have slept with his brother . brooke attempted to explain the situation , but ridge blamed nick . she begged him to understand . she said nick did n't come on to her `` it just happened . `` ridge also realized the baby could be nick 's . brooke asked ridge to forgive her , but he walked away . deacon visited bridget to tell her about his meeting with eric . eric called deacon to further discuss the subsidiary idea . deacon is thrilled . |
[ brooke sighs ] brooke : you 're angry with me . ridge : no . i just ca n't believe you actually think i 'm jealous of thorne . brooke : well , what am i supposed to think ? the way that you 're treating him -- ridge : is that what he was saying ? was he acting like some kind of victim here ? brooke : just admit that you 're not treating him the same way as the other competitors . ridge : well , you 're damn right i 'm not . if anyone else had tried to steal designs from us , they would have been up to their necks in litigation . brooke : by keeping them out of jackie m ? ridge : i 'm not keeping them out . i told you , if nick and jackie want to carry spectra , fine . but they will not be carrying forrester , too . [ scene_break ] deacon : hey . jackie : oh , deacon , you should n't still be here , you know ? i mean , if nick were to come by -- deacon : are you expecting him ? jackie : no . deacon : good . jackie : what 's this ? deacon : nick dropped this off a little while after i moved in . i think that he was hoping that when you felt up to it , you 'd start familiarizing yourself with jackie m . jackie : yeah ? well , i 'm still not up to it . deacon : well , jackie , you better get up to it . i mean , we 've got to figure out where you stand legally . listen to me , if nick tries to push you out of this company , you need to be -- [ jackie scoffs ] do you think in the mood that nick 's in right now that he would n't try that ? jackie : so now what ? am i supposed to take my own son to court ? deacon : well , jackie , hopefully it 's not going to come down to that . [ jackie sighs ] wow . jackie : what ? deacon : it 's the purchase agreement . jackie , take a look at this . jackie : it 's in my name . deacon : every last bit of it . you own this company lock , stock and barrel .

[ scene_break ] thorne : wow . what a great shoot . tell me we 're not going to waste these on black - and - white print ads . eric : i do n't know what hope had in mind , but i 'd like to . aly : i hate to tell you , but corporate spies could walk in here and see anything . thorne : aly ! how did the interview go ? eric : interview ? what interview ? thorne : well , aly 's been approved to do an independent study for her last semester . she met with a law firm today about doing legal research for them . eric : really ? well , good . excellent . aly : you are gon na be so mad at me . thorne : oh , i do n't do mad . well , at him . aly : disappointed , then . thorne : honey , as long as you did your best and you behaved , that 's all that matters . aly : but are n't there times where you have to choose between behaving well and doing what 's best ? [ scene_break ] eric : you ca n't be saying they passed you up . did you tell them you graduated high school early ? aly : anna paquin won an oscar when she was 11 . i did n't tell anyone anything . i met the partner i 'd be working with , and he talked to his secretary the way people talk to dogs . and then he showed me their little law library . i think if i sat in it for an hour , i 'd jump out of a window , if there were one . thorne : so you said ? aly : so i said , `` excuse me , i think i 'm in the wrong place , `` and left . eric : well , uh , perhaps -- it 's just a guess -- you do n't really want to be a lawyer . thorne : and can i just say how okay with that i would be ? aly : i wanted to do something different . thorne : honey , you can still run for president . eric : aly , you do n't have to commit to a career path yet . although it 's a shame you have to give up the independent study . aly : well , dad always said i 'd be good at any number of things . thorne : very true . absolutely . aly : would this be a good time to get more specific ? [ scene_break ] hope : wyatt , it was really , really sweet of you to run these photos out to me . liam : yeah , `` sweet `` would have been dropping them off and then leaving . or sending a carrier pigeon . wyatt : oh , come on , bro . we had fun , did n't we ? liam : you had fun . i had tennis balls bounce off my face . hope : okay , okay . this really was kind of a private party , so i will call you when i get back to forrester . wyatt : all right . which will be ... hope : i do n't know . what time is it now ? [ cell phone chimes ] hope : oh , it 's eric . he wants me back at the office . `` and wyatt , too , if you 're together . `` he wants these photos out in front of the public a.s.a.p . wyatt : hmm . what are you gon na do ? public calls . [ chuckles ] come on , `` hopi . `` let 's get out of here . [ scene_break ] bill : i would have thought you destroyed those papers . brooke : if i tell you i did , will that keep you from having somebody break in and search my property ? bill : oh , come on , brooke . w - what should i do ? i mean , is it somehow nobler to pretend that losing my job , my company , my son is no big deal , being exiled from my own life is insignificant ? brooke : everything you lost , you lost because of me . bill : no . because of katie . do n't you remember how easy it was ? no looking back . no looking forward . we can be happy again . [ scene_break ] thorne : aly , you have so many talents . aly : i wonder if i have any fashion - related talents . eric : talents such as what ? aly : oh , maybe ... shoes ? okay , so you know how baby ducks will see a dog and think it 's their mother ? it was like that with me and sally spectra 's shoes . i was little , i 'd be playing on the floor , and there they were , more awesome than all of my toys , even with her feet still in them . sometimes she sends me shoes for my birthday . they hardly ever fit , but they 're fabulous . thorne : sally forgets her birthday , but she would never forget yours . ( flashback ) dr. paxson : a few more good pushes . come on . sally : gladys , gladys , you getting a shot of this , huh ? gladys : yeah , i 'm getting it , coach . sally : what do you mean ? you 're not getting it . get the camera up there . put it on the mother 's face . come on , darla . smile pretty for the camera . darla : i do n't feel like smiling , sally ! dr. paxson : here comes the baby ! here comes the baby ! oh , here we go . here we go . it 's a girl ! [ laughs ] thorne : it 's a girl ? [ baby crying ] darla : i love you . it 's mommy . it 's mommy . thorne : oh . she 's beautiful . she is beautiful . look at that . darla : yes . i 'm right here . thorne : look at that . darla : i 'm right here , baby . ( present time ) aly : was that the gladys that cut sally 's hair ? thorne : one and the same . eric : she had more careers than a caterpillar has legs . she even married your grandmother and me once . aly : you know , dad , it 's funny sally 's name should come up , because she thinks i could follow in your footsteps . or hers . [ scene_break ] wyatt : we ready ? liam : what ? no , she 's not riding with you . i 'm driving her . wyatt : what sense does that make ? you 're here . you 're home . liam : yeah , and the point , as i keep trying to explain to you , is to have a little bit of alone time with hope , and now maybe that 'll happen in the car . hope : all right , um .... wyatt , you go ahead . we 'll see you there . wyatt : you 're not invited to the meeting . liam : okay . bye . bye . take care , now . [ sighs ] hope : well , this was fun . liam : yes . i hope you enjoyed laughing at me . for the record , if he had n't cheated , i could have totally passed all his little challenges . hope : oh , yeah . i know . i know . liam : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] brooke : [ sighs ] i packed your things . bill : yeah , i can see that . i 'm so sorry i hurt you . brooke : i believe you ... if it matters . bill : but you still have to punish me . brooke : no , bill . we just never should have happened . and i just was n't strong enough to ... to let you go until you broke my heart . [ scene_break ] aly : so i said , `` what do i know about fashion ? `` i could n't do the things hope does , and sally said , `` listen , einstein -- `` thorne : when did she start calling you that ? aly : i think when i won the science fair . anyway , she said , `` i never knew anything about fashion . i never had any taste , but did i let that stop me ? you owe it to queenie -- `` that 's what she calls grandmother . thorne : we know . aly : `` you owe it to queenie to try your hand at the family business . or your feet ! forrester has yet to produce a decent line of women 's shoes . `` or so sally said . thorne : actually , that 's true . eric : it 's been mentioned , actually , but nobody 's run with it . aly : i just thought ... i know my advisor would approve me to do an independent study here in design or marketing . i do n't actually know how to do anything , true , but i 'm pretty sure i can learn how to do anything . hope : aly ! hi ! aly : hope ! omg ! you looked so gorgeous with that diamond on . you were all over the news . hello , liam . liam : hey , alexandria . hope : yeah , it was a little hair - raising , especially when the -- wyatt : whoa , whoa ! hey ! [ chuckles ] do n't start without me . aly : you . hope : this is wyatt , liam 's brother . both : half - brother . aly : you stopped those jewel thieves . hope : and this is my cousin , alexandria . aly : we 're not actually related . hope : do n't ask . wyatt : [ chuckles ] eric : all right , hope , two things . do n't go anywhere . we sent the photos down to graphics , and they 're working up some mock layouts for us to approve of . hope : okay . eric : and second , i want aly to follow you . hope : follow -- i thought you said stay here . where are we going ? eric : i want her to shadow you here at forrester . she 's doing an independent study for school next semester , and i want her to see how things are done here at forrester -- at least , how you do them . aly : no , i - i could n't ask a thing like that . eric : you did n't . i did . hope : i love it ! i love this ! thorne : okay , sweetheart . aly : thank you , grandpa ! eric : you 're welcome . hope : i thought you were pre - law . what happened to that ? aly : it 's a long story . i met with a partner , and ... thorne : thanks , dad . eric : sure . glad to do it . did you , um , did you tell her the other news ? thorne : i asked her to stop by after the interview thinking it would be the perfect opportunity , but ... eric : do n't keep putting it off . it may not be that easy for her . [ scene_break ] bill : you do n't want this . brooke : you think you know me so well . bill : i do know you . and i can see it . brooke : well , maybe it 's not as easy for me to say the things that you said to me when you walked out . bill : because that was a sham . brooke : i know it 's hard for you to tell the difference after so many years of practice , but to me , it hurts all the same . bill : and i 'm sorry . and i know you can forgive me . brooke : please , do we really have to put ourselves through this ? bill : are you saying you do n't love me the way you did before ? brooke : bill ... [ scoffs ] let 's not talk about love . it 's really impossible . and do n't start telling me that you ca n't live without me . 'cause then you 'll just end up hanging 1,000 feet in the air . and inside yourself , you act to be fearless , but you 're not . you 're full of panic . and then you 're just in the fight for your life , and it 's brutal . bill : because it is a fight . and you know this . every good thing hurts someone . you know , people are raised to be satisfied and docile and accept what they get , even if it 's not enough to keep the fire inside them burning . so they go on , getting grayer and colder , expecting less and less until finally one day they see that thing -- that thing that is worth the world , that thing that they have been told their entire sorry lives that they can never have . and in that moment , they know , just like i know , that nothing will ever make sense without it . i 'm sorry for what i did to katie . i know you 're sorry , too . so do we go sorry and alone to our graves ? is that enough for you to call it a life , brooke ? brooke : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] hope : all right , well , i guess this means that you 're gon na have to stick around and look at layouts with me . aly : i 'm embarrassed to admit that sounds almost exciting . liam : well , i would love to hang out and look at layouts , but ... hope : oh , i know . i know . liam : yeah , that horrible place i work expects me to come in and actually do something for my salary . can you believe that ? hope : it 's an outrage . liam : i know . wyatt : occupy spencer . liam : by the way , i want a rain check for our day at the beach that we almost had but did n't quite have . hope : okay . mm . liam : call you later . hope : okay . liam : okay . aly : bye , liam . liam : bye . wyatt : well , i should make some calls and check in with the warehouse . hope : okay . wyatt : nice meeting you , alexandria . aly : `` aly `` for short . nice to meet you . wyatt : all right , text me when graphics calls . hope : okay , i will . wyatt : all right . hope : [ clears throat ] what ? aly : oh , yeah , i want to shadow you . hope : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] bill : are you remembering ? brooke : yes . bill : aspen ? brooke : yes . bill : monte carlo ? brooke : yes . bill : we ca n't make everything better . brooke : i know . bill : but we can still have this -- each other . say `` yes . `` one word . i 'll take them upstairs . brooke : no . no , just take these ... ... and take this ... ... and go . bill : your sacrifice is for nothing , brooke . i 'm not going back to katie . brooke : that 's none of my business . bill : and she will not forgive you . she 's not you . there will be no redemption . maybe in the moment , but it wo n't last . she will lay in wait and judgment of you . what if this is it , our last chance to love and be loved ? what if the rest of it is just one long slog and everything we could have been goes to waste ? brooke : maybe i 'll be able to look at myself in the mirror . bill : no . no , brooke . you are stronger than this . guilt is for cowards , not for us . we stand tall , and we say that we will pay the price , whatever it is . brooke : goodbye , bill . | brooke repeats that bill wants her forgiveness . he says she does n't have to tell him . he knows it is a lot to ask . she says actually it 's pretty easy . no one has ever turned against her love the way he has to get what he wants . so that is what she is wondering if he is doing right now . he says and what if he came to her door every door and told her how much he wanted her back . she thinks it might just be for the documents that he had katie sign . he wants to know if she still has them . at the cliff house , wyatt calls liam bro and that annoys him . hope does n't understand why as she finds it endearing . wyatt just laughs it off . liam tells hope that wyatt can call her bro but after they finish their lunch . wyatt tells liam that he will go when hope tells him that she wants him to go . liam says he is pretty sure she does . wyatt retorts that liam does n't really have that ventriquilist thing down yet bro ; he can totally see his mouth moving . hope tells wyatt that it was really , really sweet of him to bring the pictures out but she will see him back in the office . liam quips that sweet would have been if he dropped them off and then left or he could have sent them by carrier pigeons . wyatt tells him to come on , he knows they had fun . liam says wyatt may have had fun but he did n't with tennis balls bouncing off his face . wyatt tells hope he will see her back at the office and at that minute she gets a phone call from eric . he wants her back at the office asap and wyatt too if he happens to be with her . he wants those pictures in front of the public as soon as possible . we see a pair of shoes walk into eric 's office while he is with thorne . he looks up and says hi to his daughter aly . thorne asks how the interview went . she 's doing some research for a law firm her last semester . she tells her dad that he is going to be so mad at her ; he says he does n't do mad . she tells him how out of place she felt and she just left . eric says maybe she just does n't want to be a lawyer and thorne would not be unhappy with that . aly says she thinks she wants to do something different . she wonders if she has any talent toward fashion . thorne bursts with pride that she is so talented , she can do anything she wants . eric listens as aly says she is thinking abut shoes . she remembers sitting at sally 's knee when she was little and admiring all her shoes . thorne says sally may have forgotten her own birthday but she never forgot aly 's . he remembers the night aly was born . aly asks if that was the gladys that cut sally 's hair . thorne says yes , one and the same . eric chimes in that she had more careers than a caterpillar had legs . she even married him and stephanie once . back to discussing her future at fc , aly says she is sure that she could learn to do any number of things there . |

[ knocks on door ] eric : yeah ? pam : oh , i 'm sorry . you 're busy ? eric : no , no . we 're not actually working . what 's up ? pam : well , i just had a break , and i was wondering if maybe i could see you ? eric : sure . come in , come in . pam : well , i meant alone . there 's something that i just have to talk to you about . eric : would you mind ? quinn : i have a few phone calls to make . i 'll be right back . eric : we were just working on the list for thanksgiving . pam : oh , um , you know , charlie and i just decided to spend a quiet day alone . eric : that 's just nonsense . now , come on . it would n't be thanksgiving without the two of you in the house . please , reconsider , would n't you please ? pam : eric ... eric : look , you 're on the list , here . pam : eric . do you believe that there 's powers outside of ourselves who watch over us , you know , like from another dimension ? because sometimes i get the strongest feeling that steph is trying to communicate . like , just earlier , i was sitting at my desk out there -- remember , the phones were all going crazy ? i finally pick up the last call , and who is it but donna , and then i look up , and suddenly , she 's standing there , right over my desk in exactly the same way that steph did once when she was trying to get my attention . eric : yeah , well , i 'll have to try that myself someday . pam : i do n't think it was an accident , eric . i think steph is trying to tell us that the reason donna 's back is you . liam : i just want you to know that what ridge and that judge did to you was n't right . justin : that 's all i 'm saying . bill : people get away with things that are n't right all the time . wyatt : right , but only if there 's no one to hold them accountable , but this time , there is . there 's you . bill : it 's not that i did n't want to put brooke 's husband away . but i could n't do that to her . she can hold him accountable if she wants to . brooke : are you sure you 're not hungry ? what ? ridge : he 's trying something new -- kindness and mercy , because he knows you love a grand , unselfish gesture . he wants you back . honey treasures from whole blends . eric : some people have an inner voice that guides them . other people go to seances . i do n't have anything like that . i think maybe my spirit world antenna is broken inside . pam : well , i just know that steph sees everything . [ scoffs ] she sees me , she sees you , and ... she sees that donna really did love you . eric : i think maybe these messages you 're getting are from somebody other than stephanie because she was never one to procure other women for me . pam : oh , now , do n't make fun . eric : i 'm not making fun . i just doubt that donna being here at this point in my life means anything more than just to be a really dear , dear friend . pam : it 's not just donna . eric , you have been really patient and really kind , and you have given quinn a chance that nobody else would have given her , but ... i ca n't shake this urgent feeling of dark clouds on the horizon . for you and for the family , too . because of her . bill : well , well , well . if you boys rushed over here with a burning desire to see ridge in jail , then things have really changed . i mean , a total 180 . wyatt : i mean , we are n't exactly in a hurry to see him in an orange jumpsuit . liam : we did assume you would be , though . bill : i did n't have to resist the temptation . justin : oh , would you wise him up if you can ? make fun of him if you can't . just remember , when he dies , this will all be yours , mine , or who knows ? i 'm out . bill : [ sighs ] wyatt : should he be on blood pressure medication , or something ? bill : it 's been a long day , and i do n't have that many friends to spare . what is it , liam ? if you have something to say , spit it out . liam : hey , it -- you know , if your conscience has awoken from its rip van winkle slumber , then that 's great . i 'm just -- i 'm not seeing any miraculous absence of self - interest . you 're playing a long game . to get brooke back , if i 'm not mistaken . i think ridge sees that , too . another married woman . the problem is , you have so much that the only things left for you to want are someone else 's . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge ... you 're jumping to conclusions , letting your feelings for bill get in the way . ridge : it 's late . i 've been sitting here waiting . brooke : okay , so ... ? what , you want to fight about it ? ridge : no , i do n't want to fight with you , but i would like for you to recognize that the man who targeted my daughter five minutes ago is now targeting you . brooke : [ sighs ] okay . let me see if i can explain . bill and i were married . ridge : what does that mean ? that means he can kiss you whenever he wants , put his hands on you ? what does that mean ? brooke : no , he ca n't do whatever he wants . it 's just -- we have a relationship that ... it 's just two people that have had a history , ridge . and if he feels things beyond politeness , i mean , what can i do about that ? that 's really not a crime . ridge : what things do you feel for him ? brooke : gratitude . and if i were you , i 'd feel the same thing . i mean , twice this month he could have had you put behind bars , but he didn't . and , you know what , i am so grateful to him for that . eric : pamela douglas , i need you to understand something . i do n't need a watchdog . what i need is for you to respect my choices and my feelings . i 'm married to quinn . that did n't happen by accident . i 'm very happy donna 's here , but i love my wife . now let 's leave that subject behind us , all right ? pam : i just wanted to let you know . eric : well , if stephanie is unhappy with me from the afterlife , she 'll let me know with a thunderbolt or something . pam : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , steph . quinn : you should be ashamed of yourself . i 'm the one you should be apologizing to . stephanie is dead . she ca n't make eric happy now , and she ca n't protect you , either . brooke : bill could have gone to the police with what he knew about you and judge mcmullen . he could have had you behind bars , but he didn't . ridge : right , now i need to explain something to you . i -- i hope you understand that i did what i did for that little boy because he was trouble . that 's why i talked to the judge . i did n't bribe him , i did n't threaten him . brooke : [ chuckles ] no , you leaned on him . i think that 's the expression . ridge : you do n't think your buddy spencer would have done the same thing ? how in all of this did you forget what a horrible person he is ? brooke : i have n't forgotten . i do remember all the terrible things that bill has done . i 'm just saying that , uh , sometimes , bad people do good things , and sometimes good people ... do terrible things . bill : there are three things i wanted to talk to you guy about when i saw you -- if i saw you again . wyatt : uh , what are you -- what are you looking for ? bill : well , when liam staged his mutiny here , there were a couple of non- profits he wanted to fund . liam : i imagine you shredded them . bill : [ laughs ] no . i did not . are there a couple of those that could use a downtown property and the means to fund them ? liam : [ scoffs ] yeah , i mean ... yeah , this one and this one . bill : i 'll consider it . wyatt : what downtown property are we talking about here ? bill : the spectra lot . wyatt : well , what happened to sky and your spencer tower ? bill : yeah , it does n't really feel like the time for me to build a monument to myself . wyatt : i mean , you could -- you could always give it back to spectra . bill : a tax deduction , wyatt . i 'm not gon na lose that . i have n't gone completely around the bend . and , uh , yes , liam , i do think about brooke . how could i not ? my life went to hell when i lost her . but i do n't want to get back by sending her husband off to punch license plates for a couple of years . i want her to see that i 'm a changed man . the kind of man that she could love . the kind of man that my sons could love . the day after chemo might mean a trip back to quinn : if you keep trying to turn the man i love against me , i will crack your crazy head open like an egg . oh ! oh , see , that 's it . that 's exactly what you want me to do , is n't it ? you want me to lose control , so all your crazy premonitions will come true . well , i 'm not gon na give you that satisfaction . pam : i would n't be so sure . quinn : [ scoffs ] you think i do n't know what you 're doing here , pam ? getting eric to rehire donna , knowing that she lives next door to us . flaunting her in front of eric . trying to drive a wedge between us . it 's not gon na work . what eric and i have , there 's nothing you can do to interfere with my marriage . ridge : you think i 'm unreasonable . brooke : in this case , yes , and i do n't see why you do n't see it yourself . ridge : maybe it 's because i love you unreasonably . brooke : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm not talking about us . i think we 're fine . i think we 're solid . ridge : are we ? brooke : yeah . you know we are . when we come back here to this room , you and me , together , we dress , we undress ... ridge : mm . brooke : and then it 's just you and me here , talking about ... what we 're afraid of , ridge : what are you afraid of ? brooke : i 'm afraid of where your anger towards bill is gon na take you next . ridge : well , i can see his motives , brooke . brooke : what are you afraid of ? ridge : i 'm afraid of losing you . brooke : there 's no man that could ever turn me away from you . ridge : no ? brooke : you do that . you push me away , and i do n't want you to do that . ridge : can i tell you a secret ? brooke : yeah . ridge : sometimes ... when i do things to protect the people i love , i ... i do stuff that may not be that nice . brooke : well , i do n't need you to be perfect . i just need you to love me . ridge : oh , i do love you . so much . i just wish i were a little more lovable myself . brooke : [ giggles ] you are . every time you walk into a room , any room , i say to myself , just like the first time that i saw you ... `` he 's the one . `` [ giggles ] i love you . ridge : i love you . liam : you said there were three things you wanted to talk to us about . wyatt : yeah , what are the other two ? because things are getting a little weird around here . bill : [ sighs ] you know , i took off that damn sword necklace , but it does n't take away the shame that i feel for the way that i have treated both of you . and for what happened with steffy . and , liam , i -- i struck you . and of all the commandments that i 've broken ... `` violence against my son `` has got to be the worst one . liam : it 's not technically a commandment . bill : yeah , then why does my blood run cold -- liam : `` honor thy father . `` that 's -- that 's the commandment . bill : well , you both have , uh -- have done that . and i will keep apologizing until you can trust me again . and until i am the kind of father that you can actually honor . liam : you know , you never could hurt me as much as you did ... ... if i did n't love you . . . . | brooke tells ridge that in case he wondered she was with bill since he left . things could have turned out much differently but he is a changed man now and she thought she owed it to him to listen more to what he had to say . quinn makes out the thanksgiving guest list but leaves off pam and charlie saying she thinks maybe they have seen too much of them lately . eric says nonsense and he adds their name back on . pam comes in and wants to speak to eric alone . he asks if quinn minds and she does but says sure she has some phone calls to make anyway . pam goes on and on that she thought she and charlie would spend a quiet day alone but eric wo n't here of that . it would not be thanksgiving without her . then she goes on and on about stephanie 's presence being there and she thinks she is trying to tell them that donna is back there for eric . he says some people have inner voices or go to seances . pam says donna really does love him so do not make fun . quinn is outside and hears this . he says donna is here because she is just a very dear friend now . pam says she can not help but think of dark clouds on the horizon for him and his family . bill tells liam and wyatt that he has had a long day and he has no more to say . so if liam does , spit it out . in a nutshell liam says bill has everything he wants so the only thing left is somebody else 's . brooke tells ridge that bill is just being friendly and twice this month he could have put ridge behind bars and he did n't . she is so grateful for that and it does not mean she will let him kiss her again but it does no harm to offer him her friendship . sometimes bad guys do good things and sometimes good guys even do terrible things . she gently nudges ridge when she says this . |

[ sighs ] [ thunder rumbles ] [ scene_break ] liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : what are you saying ? liam : i 'm saying i agree with you . i do n't want to lose sight of what 's important , but the thing is , knowing us , i do n't think we ever will . steffy : even ... kids , you mean ? liam : oh . especially then . i mean , i do n't want to make assumptions . maybe we wo n't have kids . but if we do , i do n't want to lose nights like this . when you were in paris , it was -- it was these quiet moments that i missed just as much as the wild ones . steffy : oh , the wild ones . liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : i do n't know what you 're talking about . liam : yeah , you do . steffy : [ chuckles ] liam : and i think you would agree that we 've experienced a lot . we 've lived a lot . and that 's because of you , my love . you have energized me . you have made me take chances that i never would have taken otherwise . [ sighs ] kind of like the one i 'm about to take now . [ thunder rumbles ] liam : steffy , you 've brought spirit to my life . [ thunder rumbles ] liam : take this thunderstorm for example . there are two things , two very different things , that you inspire me to do right now . one is to hold you tight and keep you safe and smell you and touch you and quietly drink you in . and the other is to grab your hand and drag you outside to dance in the rain and laugh and scream and live . and , you know , you 're the only woman i can say that about . you 're the only woman who brings out both of those instincts in me . it 's why i think we 'll be great parents . it 's why i think we 'll succeed in a relationship that balances out the quiet moments with the stormy ones . and that 's why i want to spend the rest of my life with you . if you 'll let me . we have made so much history together . i just want to keep making more of it . steffy : [ gasps ] liam : will you marry me , steffy ? steffy : liam .

[ scene_break ] wyatt : implying that i should be with steffy , calling liam spineless -- i mean , you 're not about to do anything weird again , are you ? quinn : no ! wyatt : okay , good . good . i 'd like to believe that . i just have to check in every now and then . look , things did n't work out the way i wanted with steffy , but i do n't want you thinking that i 'm upset about that . why would i be ? i 'm with ivy . i 'm happy . quinn : you 're really committed to her , are n't you ? wyatt : yes , i am . i love her , mom .

[ door closes ] steffy : yeah , well , i could n't go into the office , and i was worried you were gon na call the house . bill : i knew i 'd hear from you . steffy : i needed time . bill : yeah , that 's why the jet 's ready and the yacht , because we do need time . time to talk , time to think , time to make decisions . steffy : i 'm not flying anywhere with you today . bill : look , steffy , i - i know we 're the kind of people that like to take things head on , but do you really think it 's a good idea to stay in the line of fire right now ? steffy : there wo n't be any of that . bill : not even liam is that gentlemanly . i assume you went home to him . steffy : of course . bill : how did he take it ? about us . steffy : i did n't tell him . wyatt : man . i mean , i hate to rub it in , but , like , turning to sally spectra ? you really screwed up . liam : dude , i know that . it was a huge , stupid , terrible mistake . i broke my marriage vows . i do n't want to talk about it . wyatt : i 'm sorry . you do n't want to talk about it ? liam : i do n't want to talk about it . wyatt : you ca n't just bury your head in the sand and pretend like it did n't happen ! you should be freaking out , dude ! like , we both know what a wonderful woman steffy is , and you do n't want to lose her , right ? liam : i didn't . wyatt : okay , so you 're saying she did come back last night ? liam : yeah . wyatt : a - and ? liam : `` and `` what ? wyatt : she forgave you . liam : believe it or not ... [ claps ] ... yes , she did . wyatt : wow . how much groveling did you do ? was it , like , pathetic ? liam : dude , bro , give me a little credit . [ chuckles ] i did a lot better than groveling . bill : you ran out so quickly last night . i just assumed that -- steffy : what ? what ? that i was just gon na run home and rub it in liam 's face ? bill : no . no , i would n't put it in those terms , but he did betray you . steffy : it 's nothing compared to what you and i did . bill , i ca n't -- i ca n't hear all of these things about running off to planes and yachts . like , look where the impulse to run got me so far . bill : back to where we used to be and to where we are now . finally being with you last night ... changed everything . i ca n't go back . so yeah , i am very serious . we are leaving here today together . steffy : i can't . bill : why not ? steffy : because i 'm ... i 'm more married now than i was yesterday . bill : what does that mean ? steffy : last night liam and i renewed our wedding vows . wyatt : vow renewal ? liam : oh , yeah , dude . you know carter 's ordained , right , so it 's all by the book . totally legit . wyatt : that 's what the state of california says when you need to renew your driver 's license . like , they do n't give a damn about your marriage vows . like , that 's -- that 's -- that 's for life . liam : you 're such a romantic . wyatt : [ sighs ] okay , so carter showed up . you had no idea steffy was coming back . liam : none . i mean , you know , i - i hoped , but no . wyatt : wow , you were desperate . liam : i was , in fact , desperate . yeah , i 'm not ashamed to admit it . wyatt : hey , i get it . i get it . you were grasping at straws . liam : well , more like i was grasping at symbolism . like , it 's a chance to start over if i could get steffy to forgive me . it 's as if nothing we did before making those promises can hurt us again . bill : renewed your vows ? last night ? steffy : yeah , carter was there . i do n't know . it all happened so fast . and then we exchanged our rings . i do n't know . i was freaking out . bill : looks like the same ring to me . steffy : you know it is . bill : then it 's just a bunch of hocus pocus . steffy : is that what marriage is to you , bill ? bill : given our history , i think you know me better than that . but i do n't think it 's just , uh , just words . you know , abracadabra , you say a thing and become that thing . when we first met , it was electric . we were mesmerized by each other . that was real . we were real . no words necessary . we loved each other . but circumstances ... katie 's health dictated that i - i suppress those feelings , i lock them away . so i did lock them away . and i wanted ... no , i - i needed you to be with liam because that would mean you were off limits . that was a line i would n't cross , and i did n't cross it . until last night . i respected you as liam 's wife because i thought he would be a good and loyal husband , just as i thought he would be a good and loyal son . i love liam . but he 's proven to be neither of those things . so , what ? some play acting and -- and -- and a little , uh , preacher fairy dust makes you forget all that ? steffy : exactly how good and loyal a wife was i ? bill : liam is the one who broke the marriage contract by making out with sally . i mean , he -- he can sell you on it was the circumstances , but if he was n't into her like i said he was well before that , the kissing never would have happened . you ca n't recommit to a marriage held together by -- by duct tape and good intentions . believe me , i know . i 'm an expert . i did it twice with katie , and the first time it cost me you . not katie and not even brooke could accept me , all of me , everything i am , the good , the bad , the ugly . no woman ever has . except you . steffy : [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] i was trying to keep the family together . that was all . bill : was that all ? really , steffy ? was that all ? you were following your nature . liam was out of control . you came to me . you were drawn to me , just like you always have been . now , does n't that tell you something ? your renewed marriage is a lie , and the only person you 're being unfaithful to is you . steffy : bill , i was going to tell him ! [ sighs ] bill : i 'm sure you were . but the game is set up for people like you and me to keep quiet , to toe the line . steffy : he just wants a fresh start . he wants to put this all behind us . bill : your choice is clear . a life with a man that out of some temporary guilt and self - loathing you fake married last night where every word was a lie ... or a life with me . i never made love to a woman the way i made love to you last night . i know how that felt , and it was mutual . tell me you want what i want . i know that you do . steffy : i want to be married to your son . that 's never changed . liam : i ca n't believe how close i came to actually losing steffy . wyatt : yeah , well , you lost perspective . liam : i did . i did . i mean , fighting with dad -- listen , what dad did was wrong , but i went too far in defending sally . wyatt : yeah , blackmailing our father was n't exactly your smartest idea . liam : yes , i see that now . wyatt : well , a little self - exploration does wonders now , does n't it ? liam : [ scoffs ] wyatt : look , you 've always been the one who rants and raves about how dad does n't have any ethics , but that just is n't true , now is it ? liam : no , you 're right . you 're right . i mean , yeah , the guy does n't believe in absolutes , but he does believe in unbreakable loyalties , and i broke one when i turned on him . wyatt : right . liam : it 's funny , 'cause the irony is he would never do that to me . steffy : can you not admit that we made a huge mistake last night ? bill : sure . last night when you let shame drive you back to your fractured marriage . steffy : it 's where i belong , bill ! [ sighs ] like , my god . my god , bill , i hate myself right now . [ sighs ] bill : truth is truth . no matter what you call it . and the truth is that you and i are more alike than you and liam will ever be . we belong together . we have always belonged together , and deep down inside , you know that . steffy : what do you want from me ? bill : all of you . steffy : being with you , i would have to give up everything , bill . bill : maybe being with me , you would gain everything . look . liam is a good person . i love that boy . but he is a boy , and life is going to kick him around without mercy . steffy : stop , stop . i hate the way you talk about him . i 'm the undeserving one , not liam . bill : how much of yourself are you willing to hide ? i mean , i 'm sure it started small . you would order a steak for lunch at work because if you came home and wanted one , he 'd look at you sideways . you would keep quiet about not liking his business style . you would keep quiet when he wanted to save the latest species of frog headed for extinction . you 'd keep quiet about the mutiny at spencer or having to be a hero to sally , making her the priority over you . and now there 's something else you have to hide . us . year after year , you 're going to bury so much of yourself , you 're going to become a ghost in your own shoes . and you will be haunted by the bigger life and the truer life that you could have had with me . wyatt : you see how much saner you are when you listen to me ? liam : oh ! obviously the self - righteousness gene did not bypass you . wyatt : no . so what are you gon na do ? liam : uh , make sure my wife does n't regret forgiving me , maybe ? wyatt : about dad , i mean . you ca n't just ask carter to renew your vows as father and son . that 's your job . liam : [ sighs ] i do n't know , man . how am i supposed to apologize for fighting for what i think is right ? wyatt : apologize for not fighting fair . it 's -- it 's not a battle of ideas . you stabbed dad in the back . he 's not gon na ask you what point you were making . liam : but if it 's not about values , what is it about for him ? wyatt : you know , for a genuinely intelligent person , you are really slow sometimes . it 's -- it 's about the relationship . it 's always about the relationship , dude . what 's dad 's favorite battle cry ? both : `` family first . `` wyatt : exactly . liam : i know . but , dude , honestly , do you even believe that ? like , his father was a tyrant who he hates . his sister wo n't even take his phone calls , and she sends him christmas cards he does n't open . that 's like ... wyatt : they do n't respect the relationship . liam , that 's all he 's asking us to do . you can disagree with him 10 times a day . you can scream obscenities , if that helps . but you just -- you never disrespect the relationship . liam : you know who gets that ? wyatt : hmm ? liam : steffy . wyatt : finally the light bulb goes on . liam : shut up . i mean , i used to -- i used to actually accuse her of taking dad 's side , but that 's not even what was happening . she was -- she was fighting to preserve our relationship . i mean , steffy literally put herself in between dad and me . steffy : liam and i will fix this . you do n't know me as well as you think you do . bill : i know you better than you 're comfortable with . what happened to that -- that fearlessness that i loved in you so much ? steffy : then do n't love me ! bill : that 's impossible . steffy : i wanted to be alone , bill . i went to my grandfather 's to be alone . bill : and if i had n't shown up , you probably still would be . steffy : maybe i would . bill : wondering what happened to the you , you used to be . from -- from powerful , kick - ass woman to sobbing in the family guest house . i guess you should thank me . i put the scare in you that sent you running back to him , did n't i ? steffy : i 'm as guilty as you are ! bill : so now it 's all ugliness to you . steffy : no , no , it was n't like that . bill : then why is the thought of a life with me so terrifying ? steffy : it 's not that it 's terrifying , bill . but your world . i mean , who loves you ? justin ? wyatt ? who ? bill : you . steffy : there 's only one thing i want from you . bill : my silence . steffy : liam can never know . i hate this . he was honest about kissing sally , and then i had to go and ... oh , god . oh , god , bill . i have no choice . there is only two people who know about last night . let 's keep it that way . bill : burying your head in the sand -- that 's your style ? steffy : he 'll despise me just as much as i despise myself ! now please , tell me you 're not gon na say anything ! bill : when something happens in life that changes you -- steffy : just promise me you 're not gon na say anything ! i 'm not gon na lose my marriage over this . i 'm gon na be a good and loyal wife to your son , and neither one of us are gon na breathe one word to liam or to anyone about this . bill : i never intended to complicate your life . steffy : i know . bill : what happens if you 're complicating it more ? steffy : i need my husband . [ voice breaking ] promise me you 're not gon na say anything . please . bill : okay . steffy : [ sighs ] | bill tells justin that he and only he knows where he is going to be on the stella maris . wyatt drops by liam 's and says this would not have to happen if he would just answer his phone . he then wants to know what happened with steffy . wyatt says he does not want to rub it in but liam made a huge mistake by turning to sally and steffy does not deserve this . liam says have a little faith . he did more than just give steffy his apology . wyatt realizes he must have been desperate and grasping at straws . she did not even know about it and liam says yes , but she agreed to renewal vows quickly enough . they need this fresh start . wyatt quips that the state needs him to re - new his driver 's license but they do not give a darn about his wedding vows . steffy is stunned when bill tells her they are getting out of town on his yacht giving her time to think . she informs him that she did not tell liam about them . bill tells her that being with her last night changed everything and he can not go back . likewise she stuns him when she says last night she and liam renewed their wedding vows . bill says liam is a good devoted son and he wanted him to have steffy and he never crossed that line until last night . he was the one who trashed his wedding vows by making out with sally . he knows as he has done it twice and it cost him steffy . steffy says she was only trying to keep the family together , that is all . he says her new marriage is a lie . she says she just wanted a fresh start although she was ready to tell liam what she did . he asks her if she wants a fake marriage with liam or a real life with bill . just tell her that she wants what he wants . she says she wants to be married to his son and that has never changed . |
steffy : are you getting sleepy ? are you ready to go home ? liam : uh -- oh ! do n't forget this . hey , kelly . look who was hiding in daddy 's car . steffy : i 've been looking all over for that . liam : i know . yeah . steffy : you know how much she loves mr . bunny . liam : i know . i think it -- i think it fell out when i took her to the park . steffy : yeah , how is that trail ? it sounds beautiful . liam : it is beautiful . she loves it . there 's so many trees and flowers , and i think -- i think she might be a botanist when she grows up . steffy : [ laughs ] liam : i really think so . steffy : she can be whatever she wants to be . liam : yeah , in fact , she might be sitting behind that big desk over there , like mommy . steffy : mm ! yeah ! just like grandpa and i . maybe we 'll share it . that 'd be wonderful . liam : yeah . steffy : there 's something else i want for her . liam : yeah , what 's that ? katie : you got here quickly . bill : you said you needed to see me right away . katie : yeah , and you did n't ask why . bill : did n't have to . i assumed it had to do with will , so here i am . where 's thorne ? katie : he 's still at the office . bill : oh , come on . really ? he 's missing an opportunity to stick his nose in our business ? katie : well , this is between you and me . there 's something i wanted to give you . bill : legal documents . not something i generally look forward to from the ex . the custody agreement . katie : the shared custody agreement . your parental rights have been restored . bill : i thought i 'd get this from justin . katie : well , he 's been notified that the change was filed . but i wanted to give it to you myself . i think it 's important that we talk about what happened and how we 're gon na move forward with shared custody again . bill : same agreement as before . katie : yep . bill : equal rights , equal say in will 's life . katie : i know that 's what you wanted . bill : it is . the old bill would have wanted more , a lot more . and if you fought me on it , i would have ridge thrown in jail and the judge disbarred . but i 'm not that guy anymore , katie . there 's been enough conflict between us . katie : i agree . bill : but you 're right . we do need to talk about this . liam : so , what dreams do you have for our little warrior angel ? steffy : to be happy . liam : ah . good answer . liam : well , so far , so good , on that front , right ? steffy : well , when she sees her daddy , she has smiles for days . liam : [ chuckles ] she smiles a lot when i take her to the park and we name the colors of all the flowers . i read that 's something you 're supposed to do , and i 'm trying to be a good dad , so ... steffy : you 're an amazing father , liam . kelly 's lucky to have you . liam : not as lucky as i am to have her . steffy : how sweet is she ? liam : yeah . steffy : she 's tired . liam : yeah , she looks tired . i can tell . steffy : oh , hope ! hope : hey . liam : hey ! steffy : hi . do you need something ? hope : i mean , you 're having such a sweet family moment . i do n't want to interrupt . steffy : no , no , no . it 's -- it 's fine . hope : well , i -- i can come back . steffy : no , it 's fine . come on in , come on in . you 're carrying kelly 's little sister . in the end , we 're all family , right ? you always pay your insurance on time . bill : losing custody of will , it -- it rocked me , katie . then you hand me this stipulation , and -- poof ! like magic , everything 's back to the way it was . it 's -- it 's hard to fathom . and i have two words for you . thank you . will is my priority . i do n't want to look back anymore . forget everything that happened . i just want to move forward . and , at this point , i think we can both agree that that custody battle was absolute mistake . katie : actually , no , i -- i do n't agree . listen , i will -- i will never , ever condone what ridge did , tipping the scales like that , but ... i sued for sole custody because i truly , truly believe that i was doing what was best for my son at the time , and i still believe that . bill : but you can plainly see that i 've changed . katie : yes , i can , and will sees it , too , and i love that . that 's the only thing i wanted . i need you to try to understand , just try to understand ... i did n't do this to punish you for what happened with liam . i -- i didn't . it 's just that i did n't -- i did n't recognize you . and it terrified me . it scared me for my son . i -- i saw this man that i thought i knew so well become completely obsessed to the point where you neglected your child , and i -- i had to protect him from that . i had to . [ sighs ] we 've been through a lot , but we have always been able to see eye to eye when it comes to raising our kid , and i just -- i just want to go back to that . but if we ca n't -- if you harm him in any way , i will -- bill : whoa , whoa , whoa . katie , wait . whoa . come on . i 'm not the bad guy here . ridge is the one who crossed the line , and i swear to god if he ever -- katie : i need you to hear me , bill . i did n't do this to punish you or cause you pain . bill : i know . look , i do n't want to say this was a wake - up call for me because i never stopped loving will . but it did make me realize how fiercely you love him , too , and i -- i would n't want to change that . i mean , that 's what the kid deserves , right ? two parents who would go to the mat for him , fight with everything they 've got ? just not against each other . you can count on me , katie . you and will can count on me . i promise you . i will be the kind of father that he deserves . katie : [ sniffles ] hope : sure i did n't cut into your time with kelly ? liam : yes , i 'm sure . steffy had to take her downstairs anyway , and , besides that , my time with kelly should not be walled off from other parts of my life , especially not you . hope : well , good , because i love seeing you two together . i mean , it is so adorable . liam : i just -- i really hope that steffy feels that way when she sees me with our daughter . hope : i am sure she will . and i have to admit , i 'm impressed with what she said earlier . liam : well , that 's just true . i mean , the five of us , we are a family now , and there 's really nothing that 's gon na change that . steffy : amelia 's taking kelly home for a nap . liam : oh , man , she 'll be asleep before they even hit the freeway . steffy : [ chuckles ] hope : um , steffy , what you said earlier , about us being family ... steffy : i meant what i said . tensions are gon na come up , issues around work . hope : yeah , i mean , you know i 'm not gon na stop fighting for my line , and ... yeah , i was disappointed that ridge chose intimates over hope for the future , but i was even more disappointed because it felt personal , and it felt like we were at odds again , after we had made so much progress , and we were finally being supportive of each other , and ... setting an example for our children . steffy : yeah . yeah . for our mothers , too . hope : yeah . and then ridge had to go and pit our lines against each other . steffy : i could have reached out . liam : it kind of seems like you 're both doing that now . steffy : i 'd like to try . kelly 's gon na have a little sister soon , and i want us to feel like a real family before she arrives . yeah , we 're gon na have disagreements . i mean , all you have to do is look around the office and know that families have arguments . i mean , quinn and pam have been at each other 's throats for weeks . liam : yeah . steffy : but the holidays are around the corner , and i really want us to focus on our children . let 's put our differences aside for our little girls . what do you say ? hope : i agree . we can find some peace for the holidays , for our family . steffy : yeah , i think it 's worth a shot . our little girls growing up together , taking holiday photos ... hope : they 're gon na celebrate their birthdays . steffy : yeah , and shopping sprees and learning how to drive ... liam : okay , all right . all right . you 're making me nervous now . steffy : i think it 's really nice that kelly 's gon na have a little sister really close to her age . it 's nice to have that kind of connection . someone to just be open with , share their fears and their secrets . having a sister is a gift . hope : and they are going to have their daddy wrapped around their little fingers . liam : that 's because he 's gon na be spoiling them . liam : yeah , i fully intend on doting on both my daughters . i 'm a doter . i dote . it 's what i do . i dote . steffy : so , have you guys figured out a name yet ? hope : no . steffy : if you do n't want to say anything , it 's fine . liam : no . no , like -- we seriously have n't come up with anything yet . hope : mnh - mnh . steffy : uh , well , time 's a - tickin ' . liam : [ sighs ] i know . i just -- like , i want it to be , like , a strong name . steffy : uh - huh . hope : yes , but every name that liam has come up with and suggested , it makes her sound like some kind of viking warrior . liam : that 's not true . that 's so not true . okay , first of all , braunhilda is not a viking name . it 's like masculine and feminine , and you can call her `` hilly `` for short , so it 's , like , got both . why are you looking at me like that ? steffy : okay , but you got to think about , like , the first day of school and when they 're calling for attendance . really , that name ? hope : thank you ! thank you . liam : okay , that 's not -- no ! hope : i do n't see what 's wrong with something a little less ... steffy : less intimidating ? liam : well , i 'm sorry . i got news for you . steffy : mm . liam : both my girls are gon na be intimidating . and strong . and powerful . and beautiful . like their mothers . katie : so that 's why i wanted us to talk , so we can understand each other . bill : we do . katie : there 's nothing that 's more important to me than will 's well - being . bill : or to me , katie . we 're parenting again . conflicts all behind us . it 's nice to be back on the same team . we used to be a pretty good one . [ knocking on door ] katie : oh ! carpool . hey ! hey , katie . will : dad ? katie : hi , bubba . bill : hey , pal . come here !

bill : oh , better than before . we 'll be , uh , sort of like a family again . how does that sound ? will : awesome . bill : [ chuckles ] awesome . yeah , it is awesome . and i 'm going to do everything in my power to give you the best , most awesomest life you could ever dream of . hy - a - luronic acid steffy : i 'll look at those numbers when i get home . hope : that would be great . thank you . liam : uh , are you leaving ? steffy : yeah , my late meeting got cancelled , so i 'm gon na spend some time with kelly . liam : well , i do n't suppose you 're gon na stop by a toy store on your way home , are you ? steffy : no , no . no , i 'm not . liam : do it . do it . do it . steffy : no , i 'm not , i need to restrain myself ! i ca n't do that , i can't . but it 's kelly first holiday , and those toys are so cute . hope : they are , are n't they ? liam : i know . i know . hope : i mean , you must be so excited . steffy : mm - hmm . hope : i 'm sorry , did i -- did i say something ? steffy : no . no , no , no . no . i - i 'm fine . liam : steffy , tell us . steffy : no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i 'm -- i 'm really , um ... i 'm really excited to make these memories with kelly . okay , i 'm just gon na be honest with you guys . um ... the holidays might be a little difficult for me . and i do n't want you to take it personally . i do n't want you to think that i 'm jealous or resentful . i 'm not . liam : no . steffy : no , i 'm just , um ... i guess you could say i 'm mourning the loss of the future i planned . but anyways , i , uh ... i 'm happy , and i 'm focused on kelly and my work . it 's really fulfilling , and now i 'm just rambling , so i just -- the point is , i want you to know that i 'm not fragile , okay ? so do n't feel like i am . because i 'm not . i 'm not . yeah . hope : of course . steffy : and i 'm really happy for you . i am , i 'm really , really happy for you , and we have so many things to be grateful for , and if -- we just need to focus on that , okay ? hope : mm - hmm . steffy : and we 'll be able to overcome our differences and focus on our little girls . does that sound crazy ? that 's crazy . liam : nope . steffy : okay . hope : no , it does n't not sound crazy , and we are all going to try our best . liam : yeah . we can do this . we really can . hope : for our children . steffy : for our children . bill : so , i asked how school was . you said great . so something tells me you aced that spelling test , is that right ? will : yeah . katie : that 's great ! that 's awesome ! bill : what ? all those hard words ? `` contagious ? `` mommy and i ca n't spell `` contagious . `` katie : nope . will : yep . bill : wow , that 's the hardest one . will : not for me . bill : ah , well , that 's because you 're super - smart , just like your -- just like your mom . katie : nice save . bill : thank you . katie : you studied hard , and it paid off . bill : how about the book report ? will : not graded yet . bill : ah , but you did n't cut any corners , right ? because we 've talked about this . maximum effort in everything you do . if you give maximum effort , then you have no regrets . katie : uh , i 've been meaning to ask you if you would take will to basketball practice next week . bill : i 'd love to . katie : i was n't sure if you 'd be town for the holidays . bill : of course i 'm gon na be in town ! i ca n't go out of town ! i got a lot of shopping to do . speaking of which , you have to fill out a list for me , and i 'm talking about filling that sucker up , okay ? because i 'm gon na make your every wish come true . katie : okay , let 's not get carried away . we have to keep it within reason , please . will : i do n't really want that much . & just one thing . bill : uh - oh . one thing ? laker tickets . floor seats ? will : only if i can go with you . that 's what i want , dad . i want to spend more time with you . bill : well , how about we open that gift early ? because i can make that happen right now . katie : that 's a really thoughtful thing to ask for . bill : it 's the perfect thing to ask for . you know why ? because i want the exact same gift from you . will : really ? bill : really . there is no greater present than spending time with your loved ones . and nobody knows that more than your dad . and there 's nothing standing in our way anymore . . . | bill drops everything and goes to katie 's . he says he assumes it has something to do with will , but he is surprised that thorne is not there always in their business . she hands him the papers restoring his full shared custodial rights . she could have given it to justin but she wanted to hand it to bill personally and they could talk about it . he thanks her and says there has been enough conflict between them but he is not that guy anymore and he did not want to throw ridge or the judge in jail . he thinks they can both agree that trial was a mistake . she says again for the 100th time she only did that not to punish him but because she did not recognize him anymore and thought she was doing the right thing for her son . she had to protect him . and if he ever hurts him again he quickly says he is not the bad guy anymore . this was sort of a wakeup call and he learned how fiercely she loves him too and that is what the kid deserves , two parents who will go to bat for him but not against each other . he promises he will be the kind of father will deserves . it 's great to be back on the same team . donna brings will home and he runs into bill 's arms . bill says he wants to get back on schedule like a family so he can have sleepovers again . will looks at his mom and she nods yes . |
brooke : i know it 's a lot to take in . ridge : i thought he was doing better . brooke : right , 'cause you do n't wan na see him for who he really is , ridge . and that 's frustrating to me . but i do understand it . you love him very much . but this escalation of behavior has been showing for some time now . & ridge : well , i need to see him . hope ... after you signed the adoption papers , and he chased you all through forrester , what -- what happened then ? have you heard from him ? has he been in touch with you ? brooke : nobody 's heard from thomas . ridge : so what do we do ? we just wait for him to show up , to resurface ? hope : [ gasps ] thomas ? oh , my god . [ gasps ] ridge : hope ? what ? hope : i did n't mean ... to . brooke : honey ... ridge : what 's ... what 's going on ? hope : i 'm sorry , ridge . ridge : sorry for what ? why are you apologizing ? brooke : so that call you got earlier about the hydrofluoric acid ? ridge : yeah , what about it ? brooke : well , it 's out of the building , right ? i mean , it was disposed of properly . all traces are gone . ridge : yes . everything 's fine . why are you asking that ? brooke : well , i was just ... wondering . m - maybe that 's why you 're so concerned . ridge : i - i was concerned , but , yeah , i 'm not worried about it . it was there . now it 's gone , like it was never there at all . i 'm concerned because i did n't know where my son is . i 'd like to find out . is it -- is there anything else you wan na say ? well , i 'll try thomas again . steffy : wow , these are terrific . quinn : thanks . steffy : i 'd love to incorporate this into the line i 'm working on with sally . quinn : [ sighs ] well , i would love to help you out , but i ca n't finalize anything until i get thomas ' input . is he around ? steffy : he seems to be mia today . quinn : really ? you have n't heard from him ? steffy : nope . neither has my father . quinn : interesting . steffy : you know something ? quinn : he and douglas did n't come home last night . when i went to bed last night , i just thought thomas and douglas were out late , but neither one of them came down for breakfast in the morning when i left for work . what , do you -- you think i should sound an alarm ? steffy : no , not yet . i do n't know about thomas ' whereabouts , but my father called douglas ' school , and he found out that he was dropped off this morning . quinn : oh . steffy : we just do n't know by whom . though maybe it was hope , because now she is douglas ' new legal mother . quinn : wait a minute . what ? steffy : thomas made a terrible decision . ridge : well , if you get this , please call me back or text me , something . [ cellphone beeps ] i 'm , um ... gon na stop by the office , and then i 'm going back to dad 's , so if you hear something ... let me know , okay ? brooke : okay . [ door closes ] [ exhales deeply ] i was so worried you were going to say something . hope : i should have . he 's looking for thomas , but he 's never going to find him because i killed him . [ applause ] thank you . quinn : ever since thomas and douglas moved into the house i 've been able to see their relationship up close . steffy : it 's improving , right ? quinn : oh , yeah , definitely . thomas is ... he 's loving , and he 's sweet , and ... and douglas is really relaxing into that , and , you know , there 's a lot of laughter and playtime . it 's why i -- i 'm just -- i 'm so confused that he would give hope any legal standing . they 're not married , and he does n't need help repairing his relationship with his son . brooke : well , hope can talk my brother into anything . she 's his weakness . quinn : yeah , but giving up your parental rights , even partially ? i mean , who does that ? steffy : i know . i get it . i get it . ridge : hey . steffy : hey . quinn : hey . so , uh , i can not do anything else with my jewelry until i get input from thomas . do you have any idea where he is ? ridge : i do n't know when he 's coming into the office . but if you 're in a bind , i can certainly make the call . quinn : well ... give me a holler if he shows up . steffy : i definitely wan na use your pieces for the line . i think it 'd be great . quinn : okay . [ door closes ] steffy : [ sighs ] ridge : what ? steffy : i was about to ask you that . ridge : i 've just got a lot of things on my mind . that 's all . steffy : yeah , yeah , i know . i know you went to see hope and brooke about the custody papers . how 'd it go ? ridge : your kids are everything . i mean , you know that now . from the moment you 're born , you just -- you -- you wan na make their life better . you wan na give them happiness . [ sighs ] you 're a better parent than me . i - i 've always loved you guys , but ... i was n't always there . steffy : we know you love us , dad . ridge : but knowing might not be enough , right ? not for thomas , anyway . steffy : whoa , you ca n't -- you ca n't blame yourself . thomas is a grown man . he can make his own choices . ridge : yeah . i thought he was getting better , and i just ... i talked to hope and brooke , and ... now i 'm more concerned about him than i ever was . hope : we have to get ridge back here . we have to tell him what really happened . brooke : honey , you need to calm down . hope : he is worried about his son for good reason , and that is because he is dead . brooke : okay , please , stop saying that . hope : thomas is in a vat of acid because of me , and i 'm not going to keep that secret . brooke : you 're forgetting how this all happened . thomas brought this on himself . his actions made you react . and what kind of a father does that , takes his son and puts him in an empty room , and leaves him there in an empty building so that he can chase you around and have sex with you ? he was coming on to you , hope . he cornered you . hope : but that should n't have cost thomas ' life . i should have tried using my words . i should have tried talking to him . he listened to me . or at least he did before i killed him . brooke : oh , honey , how many times do i have to tell you ? it was an accident . hope : do you really think that 's going to make a difference to ridge ? to steffi or to douglas ? i killed douglas ' father , mom , after he just lost caroline , and douglas trusts me . he trusts me . brooke : honey , you 've got ta listen to me , okay ? god only knows what would have happened if you did n't defend yourself . thomas was intimidating you . you had to protect yourself . hope : no , i took it too far . i have to tell ridge . i have to -- i have to tell the cops . brooke : no , wait . wait . let 's think about this . let 's be smart . ridge told us that the acid was gone . it was disposed of properly , and the vat as well . so you know i 'm a chemist . so trust me when i tell you this -- that all traces of any evidence , all traces of ... thomas , as horrible as that may sound , it 's gone , honey . it 's all gone . what does help for heart failure look like ? steffy : i 'm almost afraid to ask . you were so positive about thomas ' progress . ridge : yeah , i know i was . this is so hard . you know , i really -- i thought he was doing better , working with your mother and just ... getting his stuff back together , and i think he might -- might be worse than he ever was . steffy : what did hope and brooke say ? ridge : ohh . [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] they said that a few days ago , your brother suggested that they could , um ... [ scoffs ] they could trade custody of douglas for , um ... steffy : for what ? ridge : [ sighs ] steffy : you 've got to be kidding me . trade custody for sex ? are you serious ? ridge : that 's according to hope , and listen ... steffy : oh , my god . ridge : she 's a lot of things , but she 's not a liar . of course she did n't do it . steffy : like , of course she would n't , and thomas should have known that . ridge : so your brother changed tactics again . he , uh , asked her out for a nice dinner , and douglas would be there , and he would bring the adoption paper . steffy : oh , gosh . the dinner . give her an offer she could n't refuse . ridge : yeah , but she did n't refuse , but she -- she tried to steer it a different way . she tried to meet him here instead . so he once again had another idea , and it fit well , and let 's just have dinner here and then afterwards , the two of them could be alone . steffy : i thought douglas was there . ridge : he was there for the dinner , but , uh , thomas said that he made other arrangements for him after dinner and took him away . steffy : with a babysitter ? ridge : no , no . he took him to a dressing room and left him there . steffy : what ? ridge : and then after your brother had the paper signed and had him sitting there , he decided to make a move on hope . and she was scared not just for herself but for douglas . so she ran out , and he chased her all over the building . steffy : he chased after her ? ridge : what 's going on with that kid ? what is ... what 's with this obsession with hope ? brooke 's daughter 's gon na be the death of my son . hope : what are you suggesting , mom ? brooke : i 'm not suggesting anything . hope : 'cause it sounds like you 're telling me to keep quiet , to not tell anyone . brooke : honey , you heard what ridge said . hydrofluoric acid was neutralized , and it was disposed of properly , along with the vat . so everything , including thomas , is gone . do you understand that ? there is nothing that points to you . there 's nothing that puts you anywhere close to that storage area . hope : i can not pretend like last night did n't happen , mom . thomas fell into that vat of acid because i pushed him . brooke : not on purpose . hope : it does n't matter . he 's still dead . brooke : does that mean your life has to end , too , honey ? the life that you just got back ? the life that so many people tried to steal from you . thomas tried to steal from you . now i know you 're a good person , and you wan na confess . but i ca n't stop thinking about what would happen next . they would arrest you . you would be dragged off to jail . your marriage would end . you would lose your baby -- the baby that you just got back . and douglas , too . and me -- god , i do n't even know what i would do without you . hope : i do n't know , mom . i do n't know . [ crying ] brooke : honey . thomas was chasing you around the building , and he was being very aggressive . he was trying to come on to you . he had you cornered on the catwalk . you had to do something . you had to defend yourself . hope : so i just do n't say anything ? brooke : that 's not what i 'm saying , honey . hope : mom , ridge is already asking questions , wondering about where thomas is , and you really think the forresters are just gon na shrug their shoulders and just go , `` oh , well , he never came home `` ? [ cries ] and besides , mom , we know firsthand just how destructive keeping secrets can be . brooke : oh , god , you 're right , but i just keep thinking about ridge , when he finds out . & hope : it 's going to be awful . but i have to tell the truth . and i should have from the start . brooke : i 'm just so frightened for you , honey . hope : i know . i am , too . but at least i wo n't be keeping any secrets . brooke : oh . [ exhales deeply ] [ crickets chirping ] ridge : joint custody of douglas means that thomas and hope are gon na be tied together forever . it 's a legal document . in the eyes of the law , they are the parents . how 's your brother ever gon na get past hope if he ties himself to her forever ? steffy : that 's the point . his strategy just gave him all the time in the world to win hope over . ridge : well , i do n't think he was talking about strategy when he put that little kid in a dressing room and was chasing hope all over the building . answer your ... steffy : maybe he 's lying low because he 's embarrassed . ridge : he should be embarrassed . what happened here ? he was focused . he was focused on dealing with his relationship with you and -- and being there for his little kid . taylor said he was doing well , and -- and look -- look at what he 's doing . this -- he 's designing these . he 's finally coming into his own . steffy : you know , impulse trumps intellect . ridge : thomas is not built to live his life impulsively . he 's too emotional . he 's too vulnerable , and you know why ? because of me . because i was n't there for him . i was never there for him . steffy : dad , dad , dad , stop . you got ta stop , okay ? just breathe . at some point , we have to own who we are . ridge : and your brother was doing that . to give custody to hope -- that 's just -- that 's a mistake . it 's a huge mistake . but it 's done , and what -- what 's done is done , so ... we 'll just deal with it . i support thomas . and he knows that , and he 'll find his way home . hope : thomas ... i would give anything to get that moment back . [ crying ] i just thought i was pushing you . it was an accident . i never meant to harm you . i have to admit it . the truth has to come out . but how ? [ crying ] how am i gon na tell douglas that i killed his father ? [ sobs ] [ continues crying ] what if i go to jail ? what if i go to jail ? [ sobs ] and douglas is going to lose three parents in such a short amount of time , and i 'm gon na lose liam , and i 'm gon na lose beth after i just got her back . i can't . [ crying ] how did any of this happen ? [ sobs ] i could never love you , but i did n't wan na hurt you . i 'll never , ever be able to forgive myself . [ sobs ] one second . i ruined everything in one second , and i ruined it all , and i 'm sorry . and i 'm so sorry , thomas . i 'm so sorry . [ sobbing ] [ gasps ] [ gasps ] thomas ? is ... is that you ? thomas : yes . hope : oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . you 're alive ! oh , my god ! oh , my god ! oh , my god ! thank ...

brooke : we do n't have to talk about this now . i know you 're angry with me . why would n't you be ? i mean , what happened between nick and me -- you are in shock . maybe if you just slept on it . ridge : it would n't change anything , brooke . brooke : i just do n't want you to make a quick decision . ridge : you say that like i have a choice . and there 's really only one decision i can make . bridget : please tell me you did n't sign anything . deacon : we just closed the deal . this is great . bridget : no , it 's a trick . eric : this does n't concern you , bridget . bridget : how could you do this ? eric : we 'll talk about this later . bridget : deacon , he 's conning you . you just gave him your forrester stock . deacon : no , no . i just gave little d 's 2percent of forrester for one - third of the new subsidiary . bridget : there is n't going to be a subsidiary . deacon : bridget , this is my company . your dad wants in . bridget : he wants you out . out of his way for good . when your company fails , you 'll be left with nothing . deacon : wait a second . come on , who says it 's gon na fail ? bridget : he does , deacon . he 'll make sure of it . nick : would you like a drink , mother ? jackie : no thank you . nick : well , then i 'll have yours . jackie : it was that bad ? nick : he was n't too happy . jackie : nicky , that was to be expected . nick : i just hope he takes a different approach with his wife . jackie : do you think you should call her ? nick : probably not tonight . jackie : but , darling , if ridge did n't go home , she could be alone . nick : i 'm the last person she wants to talk to . jackie : you know what ? you did n't force brooke to tell him the truth . nick : think about what she told him . there was a bomb dropped on the man 's head . this guy does n't know what 's up or what 's down or what 's anything . jackie : he blames you , you know ? nick : yeah . he thinks i took advantage . jackie : oh , nicky , you did n't . i mean , you and brooke -- you were both devastated . you were n't thinking clearly . nick : well , i know one thing for sure . the one person who is not thinking clearly is forrester . brooke : ridge , i know how it looks , what i did . you have to understand . ridge : you were grieving , you went back to the foundry . i do understand . brooke : i did n't know what else to do . stephanie and eric , they wanted to leave puerto vista . but i could n't . i could n't stand the thought of coming back here without you . ridge : you did n't know nick was gon na follow you , did you ? brooke : he was worried . when he found me , i was out of mind with grief . ridge : you were vulnerable . brooke : ridge , he was trying to comfort me . ridge : you were vulnerable , brooke . nick went too far . he went too damn far . deacon : is this true ? this was a con ? eric : this is a binding contract . one that you knowingly signed . deacon : i trusted you . bridget : i thought you wanted to help him . eric : deacon 's very capable of helping himself . he helped himself to you , to my grandson , to 2percent of my company . deacon : i gave you that company ! eric : yes , you did . every last bit of it . bridget : deacon ? deacon : you must think i 'm a fool . bridget : no , no . deacon : i mean , i 'd have to be to think that eric forrester could believe in me . bridget : listen to me . that 's what he wanted you to think . deacon : it worked . i did . and you know what the worst part is ? it felt good . i felt good . for the first time in weeks , i thought things were finally looking up . hell , i was already planning the big celebration -- cafe russe , caviar , the whole nine yards . all i needed was for somebody to believe in me the way that macy did . eric : do n't you bring macy into this . do n't you dare . i 'm sorry about what happened to macy . i thought she was a wonderful woman . the only thing i did n't understand about her is what she ever saw in you . bridget : you could see it , too , dad , if you wanted to . deacon : no , he does n't want to . all he sees is the man who betrayed his little girl . eric : that 's not the only thing you did against this family . deacon : why do n't you read me a list ? hell , i know you got one . i got one , too . it 's a list of regrets . starting with coming in this office and thinking that anything would ever be different . eric : no , no . wait , something is different . what is it ? that 's right . i now own 51percent of forrester creations . that 's different . and fortunately you 're not . jackie : this is not you 're fault . i mean , you did n't seduce brooke . you were both grieving , and for god 's sake , you thought ridge was dead . nick : he does n't care about that . jackie : i know he thinks you betrayed him . nick : you know what he thinks . he 's wondering if the child his wife is carrying is his or not . that 's what he thinks , mother . jackie : of course he is . and so should you be . you ca n't ignore this -- nick : no , the hell i ca n't . watch me . jackie : you have just got to consider what it would mean to have a child with brooke . you 've got to . well , i know what it would mean for her . it would mean the end of a very short marriage . jackie : and what about for you ? oh , nicky . nicky . you love this women -- nick : stop it ! please , mother , just stop saying that . jackie : you know -- uh ! it would n't be the end of the world , you know . i mean just a short while ago the two of you were -- nick : please ! he likes her , she likes him . let them go be happy . jackie : and what about you ? you deserve to be happy , too . nick : i 'll be happy . you know when i 'll be happy , is when this thing is completely over with and we all move on with our lives . especially those two . jackie : do you think they could do that ? nick : if he forgives her . they can do it . jackie : do you think he can ? brooke : ridge , i do n't know what nick told you . ridge : i do n't want to talk about it , brooke . brooke : right . it 's been a long day , and we are both exhausted . ridge : i do n't want to talk about it ever again . we have to deal with this now . brooke : that 's what i 'm trying to do . ridge : i do n't need another explanation , brooke . brooke : ridge , what do you want me to say ? ridge : nothing . nothing . i know you did n't mean for this to happen . so for now , we are just gon na act like it did n't . bridget : how can you possibly say deacon has n't changed ? he just lost his wife , for god 's sake . deacon : eric , i 'm not proud of the way i treated your daughter when we were married . eric : bridget , again , you are not the only person in this family that he has mistreated . bridget : daddy , i am not defending his behavior . and neither is he . he is the first person -- deacon : stop , stop . just save your breath . he 's not even listening . eric : oh , i 'm listening . i just ca n't believe what i 'm hearing . you can go . we are finished here . deacon : oh , no . no , we are far from finished . and what you are going to be hearing from is my attorney . we got a contract . binding . eric : yes , and you 're going to get everything i promised you -- nothing . jackie : brooke does n't blame you for this . nick : well , she may feel a little differently if her marriage falls apart . jackie : and you might feel differently if this child turns out to be yours . nick : i really can say i do n't know how i 'd feel . jackie : do n't you say that . this child is going to need a father who loves him or her . nick : well , i 'll be responsible and -- jackie : responsible ? my husband was responsible , nicky . frank put a roof over your head . he put food on the table , but it did n't make him a good father . nick : for god 's sake , mother , she has n't even taken the paternity test yet . jackie : she will take it . and when the results come in -- nick : hopefully , we 'll all breathe a sigh of relief and then carry on with our normal lives . jackie : look , nicky , i know you do n't want to be the cause of this . i understand that , but there could be a positive side . nick : for who ? jackie : i know you . i know your heart . and i know the special place that brooke holds in it . if this pregnancy could just bring the two of you back together -- nick : mother . if this kid turns out to be mine , this beautiful family that you 've helped put together 's gon na be blown apart . now you tell me what 's positive about that . brooke : ridge , what are saying ? you want to forget what happened ? ridge : that 's not the issue now . brooke : our baby . this is supposed to be one of the most wonderful events of our life . our own baby . after all this time , we 're finally here . and now look at us . ridge : that 's why we have to move on . i do n't want our kid seeing us like this , logan . all this stress , it ca n't be good for the baby . brooke : so we just pretend that nothing 's wrong ? ridge : i say we honor the vows we made in puerto vista . we 're in this together , through every triumph and every challenge , remember ? brooke : i have n't forgotten . ridge : well , neither have i. i love you . and i know that you love me . brooke : i do . and do n't you ever doubt that . ridge : i wo n't . i wo n't . i 'm not saying this is gon na be easy . it 's gon na be a major challenge , probably the biggest we 've ever faced . but if -- if you are carrying my child , it 's gon na be one hell of a payoff . brooke : this is your baby . ridge : i want to believe that as much as you do . i really do . brooke : you can . ridge : i 'm not gon na lie to you , though . if we 're wrong -- brooke : we 're not . nick is not the father . you are . do you hear me ? this child is yours . bridget : does that make you feel good ? cheating a man who 's already lost everything ? eric : do n't you talk to me that way . bridget : the way you 're acting right now , i do n't want to talk to you at all . eric : the wayi 'm acting ? bridget : you offered deacon your support . eric : bridget , this man turned your life inside out . he almost succeeded in ruining your relationship with your mother , and you expect me to give him a job ? bridget : i expected you to give him a chance . eric : a chance to what ? to abuse my trust the way he abused yours ? bridget : daddy , he 's not the same person anymore . he 's changed . eric : no , he has n't . but you have . you 've changed . i could always trust that when you made a mistake , you would learn from it . but where -- where is your sense of judgment here ? he has offended everybody in this family . bridget : well , if you would just give him a chance to make it up to us , he would . eric : what , by turning my daughter against me ? bridget : he did n't come to me for help , daddy . i came to you myself , because i thought you would show him a little bit of respect . because i thought i knew you . eric : what has he done to earn my respect ? my god , what has he done to earn yours ? bridget : right now , daddy , i have a hell of a lot more respect for him than i do for you . nick : i love you . the bottom line is , brooke and ridge have to get through this on their own . jackie : and if they ca n't ? nick : well , then i 'll just have to live with that . jackie : you 're a sailor , nicky . you 're a sailor . you 've always gone wherever the wind or stars have taken you . nick : the sea does not reward recklessness , mother . jackie : well , this is n't about recklessness . this is about your life , the possibility of a family , a child . every mother wants that for her son . nick : well , i 'm sure stephanie would agree with you . jackie : stephanie may not be this child 's grandmother . nick : well , i hope she is , and you should , too . jackie : look , i do n't wish ridge ill . he makes brooke very happy . he 's a wonderful father . but you could be a wonderful father , too . nick : someday maybe . jackie : god , you wo n't even consider the possibility . i mean , nicky , what is wrong with you ? you -- you 've never been afraid of the unknown . nick : sailors used to believe that the edge of the map was the end of the world . they could sail off into unchartered waters , but mapmakers used to advise against it . they 'd say , `` beyond this point , there 'll be dragons . `` jackie : yep . well , if columbus had n't kept going , we might not be sitting here now . nick : columbus was looking for a faster trade route to india . and guess what ? he did n't find it . jackie : nicky -- nick : enough said . brooke : you forgive me ? ridge : logan , we made a commitment . that 's why we have to try and work through this . brooke : i scheduled the cvs tests , and we 'll get the results sometime next week . but i already know what they 're going to say . ridge : i hope to god you 're right . brooke : a woman knows these things . when we were on the plane , on the way to puerto vista , that 's when it happened . and once we prove it , i promise you , there wo n't be any more obstacles . we can look forward into the future and have everything that we imagined -- our children , our new baby . and i have you to thank for all of that . for your understanding , your forgiveness -- do n't you ever , ever doubt my love for you . ridge : i have wanted this so badly for so long . but to have everything go wrong now -- brooke : it would be unthinkable . i could n't bear that . but this is our child . ours . you 'll see . | ridge told brooke there was only one decision he could make . again brooke tried to explain everything that happened at the foundry . ridge blamed nick . ridge did n't want anymore explanations . he did n't want to discuss it anymore and preferred to act as though nothing happened . the paternity test is scheduled for next week and brooke is convinced the baby is ridge 's . |
florence : i know it 's hard , but you 're doing great . jackie : it is n't particularly hard to use the -- jackie : oh , nicky . hello , darling . can we stop this now , please ? florence : just a few more minutes . jackie : well , what 's it doing ? florence : it 's improving your strength and dexterity . jackie : yeah well , how 's that for dexterity ? [ jackie moans ] nick : mother ? jackie : oh , god . nick : are you all right ? jackie : i -- can i have the pills , please ? nick : florence , can we get her pills ? florence : not for another hour , sir . nick : her head 's killing her , though . florence : the doctor gave me strict dosing instructions , mr. marone . if you 'd like to change your mother 's regimen , you 'll have to talk to him . jackie : oh , forget it . nick : that 's fine . thank you . florence : we 'll try again later . [ jackie gasps ] nick : are you all right ? jackie : will you talk to me , darling ? just talk to me . take my mind off this pain . did you get any response from the forresters ? nick : we 're meeting this afternoon . by the end of the day , i will either own forrester creations -- or stephanie 's going to be preparing to go to jail . [ scene_break ] felicia : hey , honey . i 'm so sorry . dante told me you lost the baby . bridget : yeah . thanks . felicia : i hope you know i did intend to make it work . bridget : i know . if any three people could . [ scene_break ] rick : i still ca n't believe taylor was the one that hit darla . thorne : well , it was an accident . ridge : fortunately , the jury agreed with you . kristen : so this shane character -- where is he ? ridge : disappeared before he could testify . if thorne had n't made a plea on taylor 's behalf , god knows where she 'd be right now . thorne : yeah . well , i could n't let her go to jail . i love her too much . in fact , i love her so much i 've asked her to marry me . rick : you proposed ? thorne : that 's right . kristen : thorne ! i do n't know what to say . ridge : well , i do know what to say . congratulations , little brother . i know you and taylor will be very happy . thorne : thank you . eric : we all wish you well , son . felicia : finally , some good news around here . thorne : mmm . thank you . eric : i 'm afraid that 's all the good news anyone in this family is going to get today . i want you to all sit down here . and i want you to take a look at this document on the table . this document includes two fair price assessments of the value of this company , a written statement that we are all willing to sell our stock in the company , another statement that we are all willing to resign -- all of us and a non - compete clause . rick : someone wants to buy us out ? marone industries ? ridge : nick . rick : does my mother know about this ? eric : brooke has tried to talk sense into him , but he 's adamant . he wants forrester free and clear of all forresters . rick : he 's lost his mind . ridge : it 's extortion , is what it is . eric : if we do n't agree to this , nick will press charges against stephanie for aggravated assault . kristen : because of what happened to jackie ? eric : yes . and what happened to jackie was stephanie 's temper . now , i 've been up all night with the lawyers trying to figure out a way out of this , and i ca n't find one . [ scene_break ] felicia : stupid question , but should n't mom be part of this meeting ? eric : this is about protecting your mother , felicia . she 's not going to see it that way . what i 'm asking you to do is to make a very difficult decision . probably the most difficult decision we 've ever made that has to do with this family , or this business . brooke : you 're a hard man to catch up with . how 's your mom ? nick : got her set up at the house . brooke : bet she 's glad to be out of the hospital . nick : it 's going slowly . brooke : but she 's progressing ? nick : probably go a little easier if she had some sort of incentive . brooke : like running one of the country 's most successful design houses ? nick : i 'm meeting with the forresters today . brooke : have they made a decision ? nick : well , they better have . either i walk out of there with half of the company or with stephanie 's head on a plate . brooke : why do you have to make it sound so ugly ? nick : because what she did was ugly . to my mother and to you . and it 's time that she 's held accountable . so , she can just sit back while her company is run by my mother and me . and you , if you so choose . but i assume that 's why you 're here . because you 've come to some sort of a decision . brooke : yes , i have . [ scene_break ] [ knock at the door ] stephanie : hello ? oh , are n't we making ourselves right at home here ? jackie : what do you want , stephanie ? stephanie : nick . jackie : you leave him alone . stephanie : gladly . when he stops trying to blackmail my family . jackie : he offered you a very fair price for your company . you should be grateful because quite frankly he does n't need to offer you anything . stephanie : my company is n't for sale . jackie : mmm ? your children would rather see you in jail ? yeah , probably glad to be free of you . stephanie : and now , who 's bullying who ? jackie : it 's payback time , stephanie . stephanie : oh , well it 's not going to work because we 're not going to sell the company to anyone , anytime , ever . [ scene_break ] felicia : are we really considering nick 's offer ? rick : you said this had something to do with jackie 's accident ? bridget : yeah . jackie and stephanie got into an argument on the landing at the main house and it got physical . and stephanie pushed jackie and she fell off the landing . ridge : it was n't malicious . felicia : that 's not what donna 's been saying . bridget : she saw the whole thing . thorne : and she 's threatening to testify if it goes to trial . eric : it will go to trial if we do n't give nick what he wants . kristen : i guess the question is -- do we really believe mom would have deliberately shove jackie off a balcony ? eric : stephanie 's temper will go on trial here , and frankly , i think that a first year loss could probably get a conviction . so i think the big question here is -- are we willing to let nick have this company ? are we all willing to resign from this company to keep stephanie out of jail ? [ scene_break ] nick : i believe they 'll do the right thing . i believe they 'll resign which means i will own half of forrester . now do you want to be a part of that , or not ? brooke : i ca n't , nick . i ca n't . nick : brooke , you love this company . brooke : yes , but there is no company without the forresters . and if you do n't see that -- nick : brooke ! i see these people for who they are . brooke : you ca n't punish all the forresters for what stephanie did . nick : i 'm not punishing them . i 'm giving them a choice . brooke : stop it . do n't pretend you 're on the high ground here . this is revenge , pure and simple . and i do n't want to be a part of it . i thought i explained that to you . but obviously , you did n't hear me . nick : stephanie will be held accountable ! brooke : this is n't about stephanie . it 's about us . i 'm right , are n't i ? nick : when it comes to you , i really do n't know what 's right anymore . brooke : nick , i know you 're doing this for us . nick : i can finally protect you . brooke : i do n't need protection from the forresters or anything else . you think i am some damsel in distress , but the way that you 're acting and this person you 're becoming -- i mean , the only thing i 'm afraid of is you . look , i feel like you 're asking me to benefit from the forrester 's loss . nick : just like they 've benefited from yours . brooke : i 'm not going to have this debate with you again . you know how i feel . please do n't do this . storm : hey nick , you ready -- oh , sorry . your secretary said you were free . nick : i guess i am free . storm : well good , because the forresters are waiting for us . brooke : why are you encouraging him ? storm : i 'm sorry brooke , but he has a legitimate grievance . and stephanie caused his mother some serious bodily harm . brooke : so all the forrester 's should go down with her ? you know that is n't fair . storm : well , maybe not . bu but for what stephanie 's done to jackie , for what stephanie 's done to our family , that was n't exactly fair . maybe this is karma . brooke : what goes around , comes around . nick : that 's right . and today , everything 's coming around for the forresters . [ scene_break ] jackie : do n't you dare paint yourself as the victim here . i can barely walk across the room . my headaches . the pain is so bad . i 'm living on pain medication . stephanie : well , i wish i had some medication to take away the pain your son is causing me , you know where . jackie : you 're losing your company . i almost lost my life ! stephanie : jackie , the company is my life . it 's my children 's lives . it 's who we are . jackie : well now they 're losing it because of who you are . stephanie : oh , we 'll see what the jury says . jackie : you want to go to trial ? stephanie : of course . i 'm not going to be blackmailed . jackie : you would really risk going to prison ? you 're that obsessed with always being right ? never , ever , holding yourself responsible for anything ? stephanie : jackie , you came to my house . that 's called trespassing . you were uninvited . i asked you to leave , how many times ? you would n't go . you accosted me . jackie : now , you 're accosting me in my house . so would that give me the right to drag you up the stairs and throw you down ? stephanie : i did n't drag you up the stairs . you followed . jackie please , call nick . talk to him . tell him to stop this vendetta . please ?

[ scene_break ] katie : this is outrageous ! you 're the crazy one , not me . what is the matter with you ? you 're just gon na stand there and let her do this to me ? taylor : thank you . dr. caspary : dr. hayes , i think this is unnecessary . taylor : this is for your own protection , katie . katie : i told you , i had an attack . my heart -- taylor : that is why we 're here . we 're here to let dr. meade examine you . katie : you better brace yourself for one hell of a lawsuit when my husband finds out about this . taylor : do you want to call your husband ? because if -- if you want to , i 'll call him right now . katie : ( groans ) dr. meade : what is going on ? katie : i demand that you get these things off of me right now . dr. meade : dr. hayes , can i speak to you outside ? taylor : i 'm the admitting physician . she 's my patient . if you have a problem with this , you can take this up with me later with the board . dr. meade : we do n't hold patients prisoner here . taylor : katie 's very concerned about her condition . you 're -- you 're concerned , are n't you , katie ? katie : i already know that i do n't have much time . i have accepted that . taylor : have you stopped taking your antirejection drugs ? because , otherwise , what would be the point ? i - i 'm pretty sure you want to have those heart tests done so that you can find out that there 's nothing wrong with you . katie : fine . run the tests . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : `` already in the village of little treby , the elder matrons sat in their best gowns at the few cottage doors bordering the road , that they might be ready to get up and make their curtsy when a traveling carriage should come in sight . `` stephanie : well ... brooke : what ? stephanie : where ... where ... where are you ... brooke : where 's what ? stephanie : i thought my -- my mother . brooke : what do you -- what do you mean ? stephanie : i thought my mother was just here . brooke : well , at least you 're not coughing anymore , right ? you know what ? do you just want to rest for a little while ? stephanie : no , no . keep reading . i , uh ... keep reading . i like your voice . brooke : okay . `` at last , the sound of the church bell reached mrs. transome 's -- `` transome 's ? stephanie : mm - hmm . brooke : `` ... transome 's ear , and she knew that before long , the sound of wheels must be within hearing . was her son really coming ? she was far beyond 50 , and since her early gladness in this best - loved boy , the harvest of her life had been scanty . could it be that now , when her hair was gray , when her young accomplishments seemed almost ludicrous , she was going to reap an assured joy ? to feel that the doubtful deeds of her life were justified by the result ? `` oh , boy , this book is really slow .

[ scene_break ] katie : what 's taking so long ? taylor : well , dr. meade is taking no chances . he 's having the head of cardiology look at your ekg . katie : will you cover me up , please ? i hate lying here like a beached whale . all this baby weight , i 'm sure bill would n't be able to stand to look at me . taylor : hmm . katie : it 's pretty gross , is n't it ? taylor : your heart surgery scar ? katie : from the transplant . and a little bit further down , then there 's my scar from the c - section . i 'm a patchwork . lesser than the sum of my parts . taylor : you feel flawed ? katie : you think i do n't know there 's something wrong with me ? i just kept hoping that i 'd find some clue , some trick so i could be normal again . but there is n't one . i 've wasted your time . taylor : because you have n't let me in . katie : well , i guess that 's another thing i failed at . so why do n't i do us both a favor and say that i 'm not your patient anymore . you 're fired . [ scene_break ] thomas : this is exactly what i 'm talking about . women under 30 can not picture themselves wearing this . or this . look , the bigger problem is that even when people love our clothes , they hate buying them . people are n't shopping like that anymore . you can buy a new car online . rick : but never couture . thomas : true . we want a bespoke feeling in an off - the - rack world . granddad , i want to honor your legacy by utilizing the tools that we grew up with that you did n't have . thorne : dad ? thomas : l - look , i - i know this is a lot to take in -- eric : no , no , no , nothing you said . it 's just i 'm not only losing my wife , i 'm losing my way of living and -- and -- and working and dreaming . it 's all just slipping away . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i 'm sorry . brooke : i thought you said we were n't going to use those words anymore . stephanie : i promised that i ... i promised i would n't ever come between you and ridge again . brooke : you have n't . stephanie : yeah . i told him not to come to the party . brooke : you would n't do that . stephanie : i did . brooke : you told him to stay away ? stephanie : ( sighs ) i did n't want him to see me this way . brooke : you told everybody at the party you thought he was coming . stephanie : i know . i know . all these years , and i said that you were the shallow and vain one , and look who turns out to be the most vain of all . ( sighs ) me . and now the person that i love most in the world -- i 'll never see him again . brooke : well , maybe it 's for the best . he would be here with you , and he would be inconsolable . it would be very difficult for the both of you . so instead , i get to be here , and i get to do this , for him and for you . so you see , there 's nothing to forgive . stephanie : ( chuckles ) ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ( telephone rings ) donna : hello . spencer residence . taylor : may i speak to mr. spencer ? this is taylor hayes calling . donna : hi . uh , it 's -- it 's donna logan . i 'm -- i 'm watching will while bill does some business . i -- can i give him a message ? taylor : oh , no . no , thanks . donna : anything i can help with ?

[ scene_break ] katie : i 'm sorry . i know i 've been awful . taylor : well , you know , since you fired me , i can share something personal about my life with you . i had to give up a baby once . i thought i was going to lose my mind . katie : i was no good for my son . he was repulsed by me . taylor : no , katie . katie , your body suffered trauma , and your mind has been caught in a repetitive cycle . that 's how our mind tries to process trauma . it 's like it keeps reliving it . it 's trying to make sense of it . katie : i 've ruined my life . i 've ruined my husband 's life and my baby 's . ( crying ) taylor : ( sighs ) no , you have n't ruined anything . everyone is right here waiting for you .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : ( sighs ) brooke : i do n't want to get too far from the cabin . stephanie : ( sighs ) brooke : that is beautiful . stephanie : you might want to go back now . brooke : now why would i want to do that ? stephanie : because this part might be too hard for you . brooke : no . now there 's plenty of time . besides , i still have to read that book to you . ( chuckles ) stephanie : sometimes it 's better not to know the end . brooke : please do n't send me away . stephanie : god knows i 've tried . brooke : ( chuckles ) stephanie : i always said you 'd be the death of me . brooke : oh . ( sighs ) | while stephanie has another coughing jag and feels like she is drowning , brooke softly wipes her brow . brooke asks if she is sure that she does n't want to go back to be in the hospital . stephanie says no , instead just give her more medication . brooke notices the blood on stephanie 's handkerchief and takes it and puts it away . brooke starts to read a book to stephanie who suddenly thinks she sees her mother . brooke takes a break and stephanie says the only thing she needs is forgiveness . katie lashes out at taylor and tells the doctors that they are the ones that are crazy and they will have a hell of a lawsuit on them when her husband finds out . taylor talks firmly back to her that she surely will want to have some tests made to show that she is wrong and is not going to die . katie gives in and agrees to the tests . eric wants to get thomas 's quickly called meeting over with as soon as possible so he can get back to stephanie . he listens as thomas rattles off his new plans for the under-30 crowd that ca n't see themselves wearing these couture clothes . eric laments that not only is he losing his wife , but his whole livelihood of living and dreaming is all slipping away . stephanie confesses to brooke that she was n't going to come between her and ridge anymore , but she went back on that word and had told ridge not to come to the party . all these years she had called brooke the shallow and vain one , yet it was she that did not want ridge to see her this way . and now the person that she loves most in this world and she wo n't see him again . succinctly brooke says maybe that is for the best . he 'd be inconsolable if he was here and it would be very uncomfortable for stephanie . this way she gets to be there for both of them so there is nothing to forgive . |

fine . you want to fight for hope to be with him ? fine . but you have to respect me , that i 'm fighting , too . i 'm not backing down . | in the steam room , wyatt slides his hand slowly up hope 's leg onto her arm while kissing on her neck . then he puts his mouth on hers for a long , deep kiss . finally she says they ca n't do this . he says they are two adults in a steam room and there is no one to stop them . he tells her that he wants to show her how he feels . liam comes out the bedroom dressed to go to the office after he makes a quick stop . bill says let him guess . liam says he better not be going to say anything against hope . bill says no , he said he would support that relationship and he meant it . he explains further that he wanted liam to be with steffy . he thought she was .emphasis on was .the right woman for him just like he thought kate was the right woman for him when he married her . and he really understands liam wanting to move on with his life . liam says thanks . he just wishes wyatt could understand . bill says he will talk to wyatt . liam is surprised but says okay . bill says he will do it right now . they will have a nice little friendly father / son chat and he is sure that he will back off . wyatt is still almost kissing hope and says it is just them and they can lock the door . she hesitates . he asks if she is engaged to liam and she replies no . he asks if she likes kissing him and she sort of moans and kisses him . but says if he thinks the first time they .. or if they ever .is going to be in a steam room and in public then he does n't know her as well as he thinks she does . she kisses him again . she gets up leaving wyatt with a stunned look on his face . but the frown quickly turns into a smile . aly drops in on her dad 's basement office . he says he 's working on some back orders as they are insane since hope 's re - launch . she says give her five minutes and she can learn anything . he says he never doubted it . she says fashion is in her blood . he reminds her it is for both sides as her mother would be so proud knowing she was in fashion . aly says yes but also ticked that spectra was n't around anymore . she would have wanted her to work with her and sally . thorne says her mom missed out on so much . aly says no ; she is right there . she did n't miss out on a thing . thorne shows her the ropes about ordering some taffeta . she asks if it is weird working for uncle rick . he says he is n't exactly working for him . rick may be president but thorne does n't need a title to justify his worth . he could have run this company better than anyone but he also would have missed out on a lot . he would have missed out on all her soccer games and practices and helping out in the classroom . he would n't have missed that for anything . she says she knows and most kids her age would do anything to get away from their parents but here she is willing to volunteer to be close to him . he teases that she can visit but he knows she 'd rather be following hope around . aly says she likes that plus hope has got two very hot guys after her . thorne is hearing too much . aly says she is just saying it 's a dream life . there is no one her age that would n't want to be hope logan . |

[ sighs ] god , rick . you love caroline . that 's why you 're lashing out like this and making terrible decisions for this company , son . and more importantly , you 're making terrible decisions for yourself as a man , as well . you 're shoving caroline aside , latching on to maya . she 's using you . rick : no , she 's not . if anything , i 'm using her . eric : for what ? to try to forget caroline ? do n't lose your marriage over this . rick : dad , she lied to me . she snuck off with ridge . eric : ah , she just made a mistake , that 's all . she got out of control for a while . she 's apologized for that . she 's asked for your forgiveness , and i suggest you give it to her . rick : why should i ? eric : because she 's your wife , and if you do n't reconcile , i 'll fire you as ceo . ridge : hey . do n't do that . do n't put that on yourself . no one is suffering because of you . caroline : rick is . ridge : he 's having a tantrum . it 's very different . caroline : no , he 's hurting , and look at you . god , look at your face . my uncle did that to you because of me . it 's my fault . ridge : let it heal a little bit . it might be an improvement . caroline : i 've caused you nothing but trouble . ridge : that 's not true . caroline : yes . trouble and pain . ridge : you did n't hit me . bill hit me . caroline : because of me . ridge : because he 's a pompous ass who does n't mind his own business . caroline : i ca n't help but think what if i would have just never come to los angeles ? none of this would have happened in the first place . ridge : that 's true . you 're right . it would n't have . if you had n't come , i would n't know how to draw , and we would n't have this line . caroline : no , you would have gotten help . you would have -- you would have reached out to your father . you would have done -- ridge : that would n't have worked . there 's something about you . man , there 's something about you .

'cause if you do n't ... well , you might want to make sure there 's an opening for you at the family plot . ridge : okay , so if you 're gon na kill me , how you gon na know if she would choose you or choose me ? bill : i already know she 's gon na choose me . you 're just delaying it a bit . you better savor the moment . because when it 's all said and done , brooke is going to be married to me . eric : it was perfectly innocent , katie being over here , but quinn got perturbed and , uh ... at any rate , it turns out that katie might be moving in next door . steffy : really ? eric : rick told her about the listing , so she went over to look and she asked me to weigh in . i encouraged her to make an offer . and as it turns out , today i - i got a text saying that that 's exactly what happened . i think quinn saw the text . anyway , the point is , i think she 's , uh , probably not too happy about it , and i think maybe she 's next door right now . steffy : is quinn jealous of katie ? quinn : i 'm not insecure . i trust eric . i trust our marriage . it 's you i do n't trust . katie : you know , he 's put a lot on the line for you . you realize that . quinn : yeah , i 'm very lucky . katie : yes , you are . you 're lucky to have a man like eric . has he ever given you any reason to doubt him ? quinn : of course not . but you 're the one who keeps coming over when you know i 'm not going to be home and trying to move in next door ! katie : okay , let 's just look at the reality of the situation , shall we ? you say that you 're secure in your marriage , but that 's not how you 're acting . i mean , you 're over here , you 're lashing out at me , you 're making these veiled threats . that sounds like the old quinn . i thought you did n't want to be that person anymore . quinn : i do n't . katie : well , then let 's just rein it in , shall we ? that 's just a little advice . you know , you can take it or leave it , but do n't self - sabotage . quinn : you 're right . you 're right . about everything you said . i mean , i - i ... i 'm in all - out protective mode . it 's -- it 's -- i mean , it 's how i 'm wired . just seeing threats everywhere . everybody 's trying to take something from me . i ... when i was young , i had to scramble a lot . i did n't have any help raising wyatt . it was just ... we had this `` us against them `` mentality , and -- and it 's the same thing that eric and i have been going through with his family , a family that you are really close with . so you have to understand when you come over unannounced , wearing red lipstick , i think you 're making a play for my husband ! i think you 're -- you 're conspiring with the rest of the family to take him away from me ! katie : quinn , i 'm not doing anything ! quinn : i understand that . you say that , but think about it . rick has been the one who 's been helping you get this place . is that a coincidence ? i do n't know . how am i supposed to know that you 're not working with ridge and the rest of the family ? katie : because the only male i answer to is this tall and he 's going to lose his mind when he sees that pool out back . quinn : [ sighs ] you and eric are just friends . katie : yes . quinn : and you love this house , no ulterior motives ? katie : no . i love this house . quinn : then i 'm sorry . i was out of line , and , um ... i hope you get this house . i really do . katie : thank you . that 's -- that 's good to hear . quinn : thank you for this talk . you really , really talked me down from a place that was so bad that i never wanted to go to again , 'cause i 'm mrs. eric forrester . that 's the woman i want to be . r.j. : do you count on bill the same way you count on dad , the same way dad counts on you ? you and dad still love each other , but you 're gon na marry spencer anyway , the last person dad would ever want you to marry . so do what 's right in your heart and do what 's right for all of us . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : dollar bill spencer , always so confident , even when he should n't be . bill : [ chuckles ] see , i - i understand that at the moment brooke has a certain weakness when it comes to you because r.j. 's home and you 're using that . but i know where things stand with us . i know what brooke and i have . ridge : and you do n't think even for a second that you are just a tiny , little bump on her journey back to me ? bill : you have got to stop dreaming , my man . you 're living in the past . you 've got to join the rest of us in the new millennium . ridge : logan and i always find our way back to each other . you know that . bill : well , there 's only one problem . she 's not your logan anymore . she 's my brooke . [ door opens ] eric : you were next door . quinn : yes . eric : you saw the text from katie . quinn : your phone dinged as i walked by . eric : you gave it to her . quinn : no . i mean , not -- not really . i almost , but we ended on a good note . eric : you did ? quinn : [ scoffs ] we had a nice talk . she , uh ... she was really helpful . she gave me some really good advice . eric : katie 's one of the good ones , you know . she can be a good friend to you . quinn : [ sighs ] well , i 'll take all that i can get . eric : so if her offer 's accepted , you would be okay with that ? quinn : i told her i would . eric : okay . so you handled this really well . i 'm proud of you . quinn : [ sighs ] i 'm trying to be worthy . eric : you do that every morning when you open those beautiful eyes of yours . quinn : [ sighs ] you say the nicest things to me . eric : it 's 'cause i love you . quinn : it 's so amazing , knowing how deeply you care about me . [ sighs ] i 'm so protective of it . eric : so am i .

quinn : well ... pam : i do n't know , charlie . i felt like the ratio was totally off last year . charlie : well , yeah , i mean , we had to cut back on the butter for eric , but , honey ... pam : i know . charlie : it was delicious . pam : not really . maya : hey , guys . pam : ooh ! hi ! maya : we 've come to help ! pam : oh ! how nice of you . charlie : yeah ! that 's really , uh ... that 's really , uh ... is n't that great , honey ?

eric : friends , family -- everyone 's welcome . quinn : well , i know one person who 's not gon na be welcome , and that would be sheila carter . eric : uh , no , sheila carter will not be here . after everything that 's happened , she would n't dare try to crash our thanksgiving . justin : what 's going on , man ? bill : i did something unforgivable . justin : that 's practically an everyday occurrence around here . what ? bill : forget it . just cancel the trip . that 's all i need right now . justin : hey . you 're not still feeling guilty about spectra , are you ? bill : no ! justin : well , is it liam ? the holidays ? bill : the holidays ? justin : being apart from your son , i know it 's taken a toll on you , bill . being at odds with liam , the way he betrayed you . bill : i wonder where he learned that from . liam : it 's like all i saw was my father 's selfishness and greed , and you saw this whole other side to him that i did n't see , and you were right . i mean , i should have listened to you . so i promise you , every time you open your mouth from now on , i 'm -- i 'm all ears . steffy : i -- i thought you wanted to move on and put this all behind us . liam : i do , i do . i just -- i just want you to know that i get it now , the importance of family loyalty and just being able to trust each other . obviously i do n't approve of what my dad did , but the fact is ... he would never betray me the way i betrayed him . pam : so , we got to get the turkey in the oven first thing in the morning . charlie : i know . we got to peel the potatoes , we got to chop the bread . pam : you know what , i think , really , we should do that tonight . quinn : no , no ! no ! i told you you could have my kitchen all day tomorrow , but not a moment before . pam : 6 : 00 a.m. , then . quinn : 9 : 00 . pam : 7 : 00 . quinn : 9 : 00 . pam : 8 : 30 . quinn : 9 : 00 . maya : [ laughs ] so you are n't gon na let us do anything ?

rick : [ scoffs ] i 've seen the guest list . if you 're looking for a laid - back , stress - free thanksgiving , you better make plans to eat someplace else . eric : no . no , no , no , no . thanksgiving is always a very magical time in this family . no matter what 's going on in our lives , we always manage to rise above . pam : i know , but ... i hate to say this , eric . this year , i think it might take a miracle worker to bring everyone together . bill : i condemned liam for not putting this family first . justin : he was blackmailing you . bill : and we got past it ! steffy asked me to make things right with liam , and i did that . i could n't leave it alone . my gut says `` go , `` and it 's full steam ahead . i built an empire with those instincts . i mean , they 're not wrong , justin . i ca n't get other people to listen to them . i expect everybody to follow my rules , be loyal to me , loyal to the family . i confront liam about his betraying me , and what do i do ? i hit him . i nearly killed him in that explosion . bill : the things i 've done ... terrible things . for a father to do that to his own son ... i do n't deserve liam 's respect . or his love . liam : it 's true . family should have been my priority . steffy : so much conflict and emotion ... anyone can lose their bearings . liam : i was confused . and hurt and angry and frustrated . steffy : those are powerful feelings . liam : powerful enough i almost lost you . steffy : no , you didn't . we renewed our vows . you want a fresh start . liam : i know . but i think i want that with my father , too . i do ! [ laughs ] i mean , i know we 're gon na disagree and we 're gon na butt heads , but ... god , he 's my dad , and he loves me , and i have to ... i have to trust that . you know ? and i have to take responsibility for my part in all of this . steffy : no . no . no , you don't . no , you don't . liam : no , i do -- i really do , steffy . i mea , i blackmailed him . i blackmailed my own dad , and i disrespected you , and i broke my marriage vows ... steffy : but then we made new vows . i thought we were gon na put that all behind us and focus on moving forward . liam : i know , but that 's -- that 's what i 'm trying to do . i 'm trying to set things right with my dad . look , he asked for my forgiveness . it 's time that i asked for his . i need -- i need to rebuild his faith in me . but , steffy , i ca n't -- i ca n't do that alone . and i 'd really like for you to come with me to spencer . steffy : no , no , i do n't think that 's a good idea . liam : why not ? why not ? nobody was as invested in us reconciling as you , right ? steffy : i -- i know , and i still want that . i just think having me there might complicate things . liam : steffy , this is not just about my father and me . i mean , everything that happened , everything good that happened was because of you . justin : i know what you need . a night out . i ca n't remember -- bill : that 's not what i need . justin : listen , i know everybody 's coming down on you , telling you what a bad guy you are , making you question yourself . but you got to stop that . that 's not you ! that 's now what you do ! bill : no . no , it 's not . justin : that 's right . bill : i act . justin : that 's right . bill : i see what i want , and i just -- i just take it . justin : that 's right ! look at sky , all right ? she 'll get you out of that mood . all that steel . concrete . mirrored glass . when that beauty is built , you will be able to see yourself every way you turn . bill : no . no , i do n't want to look at myself right now . just do what i asked . cancel the stella maris and the jet . justin : no trip ? bill : no trip ! and i do n't want to hear another word about it ! pam : where are we on the seating chart ? quinn : i left a few messages for steffy . she has not gotten back to me yet . maya : do we really need a seating chart ? rick : yeah , we 're all family . pam : are -- are you kidding ? other than the food , the seating chart is the most important part of thanksgiving . quinn : yeah , but i think she has a lot going on right now . charlie : you know , eric , as head of forrester security , my powers of observation are legendary . so if you need me , i got your back . and your front , you know . eric : thank you , charlie . i think i 'll be fine , really . and you 're gon na be very , very busy in the kitchen . quinn : yeah , look , i 'm sure i 'll hear from steffy today . it probably just slipped her mind . [ knocks on door ] bill : what do i have to do to get some peace around -- liam . steffy . steffy : i , uh , told liam to talk to you himself , but he wants me here . liam : i , um ... i know i said i 'd never come back here , that i was cutting all ties with spencer publications , that we were -- that we were done . bill : and i believed you . liam : i know you did . you both did . and , uh ... i was wrong . i 've been wrong a lot lately , and , uh ... i 'd like to come back . i 'd like to work with you again . if you 'll have me . i handled this poorly from the beginning . i blackmailed you . my own father . i forced you out of your company , i ... i spent all my time focusing on righting your wrongs and never examining my own , and most of all , i did n't listen to this amazing , wise woman who did nothing but try to broker peace , who would n't let anything come between us . steffy : that 's the big thing . that 's what we need to be focusing on . liam : my values have n't changed . obviously i have a different vision for this company . obviously i wo n't agree with all of your tactics , but ... i also know that i 'm not always right , and i have to be big enough to admit when i 'm wrong . well ... i 'm wrong . i betrayed you , and i 'm sorry . would you forgive me ? quinn : we agreed . eric : you wo n't even notice them . quinn : except for every 10 minutes , they come out of the kitchen wanting us to taste something . eric : well , maybe we should hide out . we 'll hide out in the bedroom . quinn : [ gasps ] oh , mr . forrester , i love how you think . eric : you were gon na try to call steffy again , though . quinn : no , i texted her this morning . i 'm sure she 'll get back to me . you 're really worried , are n't you ? eric : well , i 'm -- i 'm wondering if maybe i should be . we find her bracelet in the guesthouse , and then it 's not like her to be out of touch . it 's like you said . maybe something 's going on in her life . quinn : i do n't want to think that she and liam are having problems . eric : yeah , neither do i . at any rate , we 'll see them tomorrow . they 'll be here , and we 'll have a wonderful thanksgiving no matter what . quinn : aww , and just the way you like it -- a house full of family . eric : i do love that quinn : mm - hmm . eric : but i love my time alone with you . quinn : aww . i know . i feel exactly the same way . [ sighs ] especially after this year . i almost lost you . the love of my life . i am so proud to be your wife . to be a part of this ... this family tradition and this house with my portrait hanging above the fireplace . i know what it means . you know , it 's a honor to be mrs . eric forrester . and i 'm so thankful to you and everything you have brought into my life . bill : you want me to forgive you ? liam : and i -- i understand if you want to think about it , given the way i 've behaved . steffy : no one 's been blameless in this . we 've all made mistakes . liam : well , it 's time for me to admit mine . look , there are a lot of causes in this world worth fighting for , but there 's nothing more sacred , nothing more ... foundational than loyalty . and i 'm not -- i 'm not just talking about the commitment between a husband and wife . i 'm talking about the bond between father and son , and i want you to know i 'm ready to make that a priority . bill : why now ? we 've both said this before . liam : yeah , but the difference is , you meant it . and despite the impressive shiner you left on my face , you 've been nothing but loyal and faithful to me , and i think it 's time i returned that faith and loyalty . bill : liam ... liam : no , listen . i got to get this out , okay ? i know that you did n't mean to demolish the spectra building with me and sally inside . i know that . and , yeah , it happened , and , yeah , i almost died , but i also know that you saved my life . and i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for the way that i treated you afterwards . and i -- i guess what i 'm trying to say is ... i love you , dad . bill : i love you , too , son . | bill thinks back over what he agreed to with steffy that neither one would say what happened between them . justin finds out from bill that his plans have changed and he is not going on the stella maris after all . so just cancel the trip . liam tells steffy that she is such a wonderful woman and he feels so blessed since he was such a thoughtless fool . all he saw was his father 's selfishness and she saw more . he wants her to know that he gets it now about family loyalty . he knows his dad would never betray him like he did him . he was confused and frustrated and he knows he and his father are going to butt heads again but he disrespected him and even steffy so he wants to set things right with his dad . he needs to rebuild a relationship but he can not do it alone . he needs her to come to spencers with him ; all the good that has happened is because of her . justin tells bill that this is not him , the bad guy , he has to make that stop . bill tells him no , he does not want to be himself right now , not another word about it the trip is off . charlie and pam arrive and eric tells them he is sorry that zende is n't here but it will be more than a full house . eric tells charlie that he is going to be very busy in the kitchen so he does n't think he will need any extra security . eric tells rick and maya that this year 's holiday is going to be bigger and better than ever . and despite all their differences , this is the one day that they will all set aside those differences and make it a great holiday . |

[ pam chuckles ] donna : mm , it 's too bad r.j. could n't make it . ridge : he 's having too much fun in paris to make the trip . brooke : that 's right . he 's having a great time at rick and maya 's . and vivienne and julius and nicole and xende , they 're visiting also , so there 's gon na be enough people for them to play their own thanksgiving game . donna : oh . will : is it flag football or tackle ? ridge : flag football ? no , it 's the real deal . hard hits , bruises , all of it . [ brooke gasps ] thorne : you sure you do n't want to join our team ? help us destroy liam and wyatt ? will : sure . you guys are bigger . katie : okay , all right . no one is getting `` destroyed . `` it 's really like a game of tag , and then , after five minutes , everybody comes in and claims victory . thorne : that is not true at all . katie : [ laughs ] it is true .

[ all chuckle ] sally : charlie . charlie : yeah . sally : i admire your artistry in the kitchen . charlie : [ scoffs ] sally : as i admire the passion that you have for the woman sitting next to you . i can see how sweet of a man you are based on the happiness in pam 's eyes . charlie : thank you , sally . sally : welcome . charlie : my beautiful pammy . my partner of the oven . of medieval adventure . pam : [ chuckles ] charlie : and , uh , should i be so lucky , one day , my partner in life . but , sweetheart , i - i know how hard it is to promise things when we do n't know what 's going to happen tomorrow . but i can -- i can promise you this -- i 'm yours . every single day . pam : [ exhales softly ] thank you , charlie . [ sighs ] okay . [ chuckles ] uh ... thankful . heh ... you know , i could n't help but notice that steph 's portrait is right behind us , and in between us , back there on the wall . and so i am thankful that it 's way too small to get your foot through . [ laughs ] i 'm only kidding . honestly , on this day , i am thankful that you have been so gracious to invite us all into your home ... even me . happy thanksgiving . quinn : thank you . pam : you 're welcome . quinn : [ sighs ] it feels good to belong . and for that to happen , all i have to do is look at my husband and know where i am supposed to be . you 've given me a life that i never even thought was possible . so , i want you to know how thankful i am to you . and how honored i am to be by your side ... leading this family . eric : quinn 's honored . i 'm honored , too . to have you all here . to hear your words to each other . and to see how much you all believe in the power of family . i 'm so deeply grateful for all of you . [ all `` aww `` ] wyatt : love you , too . eric : well , uh ... [ laughter ] quinn : not everybody . the day after chemo might mean a trip back to eric : the name logan was not welcome in this house for a very long time . [ laughter ] katie : but ... ? eric : well , eventually stephanie came around , though , and for good reason . there 's a very long history there , between us . it 's a great , great pleasure to see you here at this table today . the logan sisters are not the same without you . l.a. is not the same without you . donna : [ chuckles ] oh , thank you . katie : it 's true . donna : thank you . [ eric chuckles ] that 's sweet . you know , i do n't know that i missed l.a. all that much , but , um ... but i definitely missed my family . it 's tough , being so far away from the people you love the most in this world . especially my sisters . [ brooke and katie giggle ] katie , i adore you . but you know that . you are so generous , and so caring . heck , you even let me crash at your pad . katie : hey , anytime . i love you . donna : ohh . [ chuckles ] katie : well , i have a really hard job to do . i 've got to look at you and say something nice . my beautiful , beautiful boy . i look at you , and i 'm so proud of you . i love your confidence . i love that you 're happy . it makes me happy . and i can see the man that you 're gon na be , and i think that man is gon na be awesome . will : thanks , mom . katie : yeah . [ laughs ] will : so , i 'm supposed to say something cool about you ? thorne : if you can think of something , yeah . [ laughter ] will : [ sighs ] mom 's happy . i can see it . and i know that 's because of you . thorne : and thank you for accepting me into your family . you know , being a father was the most important job i ever had . i 'm really happy that i have a chance to do it again . and now i 'm supposed to say something nice about you . ridge : wow . you got nothing . he 's got nothing . brooke : [ chuckles ] ridge : [ laughs ] thorne : something shifted in our relationship . a mutual respect that we have n't had since , uh , we were kids . and you support me at work , as a designer , and in my personal life . and this family that i 'm building with katie and will , so thank you . it 's a great time for the forresters . ridge : it is a great time for the forresters . [ laughter ] it 's an amazing time to be me . thorne : [ laughs ] ridge : 'cause look what i got . brooke : oh , no . ridge : this , the most beautiful woman in the world . not that i 'm that surprised , because , i mean , it was -- it 's , um ... what 's the word i 'm looking for ? all : `` destiny . `` [ laughter ] brooke : oh , my gosh . ridge : steffy be me 10 bucks i could n't work it in , and i did , so you owe me some money . hey . we 've been through a lot . lots of ups and downs . but ... we always figured it out . we never gave up on each other . on our life and our future together . and i guess that 's destiny taking its course . ridge : i 'm so thankful that you 're here with me . i love you so much . brooke : aww . love you . [ sighs ] baby . you are the most thoughtful person that i know . and i am so thankful that you are my daughter . and i 'm proud of you . i 'm proud of the woman that you 've become . i 'm proud of the example that you are to all the young women around the world . and the example that you will be to this little baby . [ hope giggles ] she is so lucky to have you as a mother . hope : i love you . [ chuckles ] uh ... gosh . i have a lot to live up to in the mom department , do n't i ? [ brooke chuckles ] but i know that i can handle it with you by my side . i mean , watching you with kelly , i take comfort in knowing that our daughter is going to have just such a caring father growing up . and , um , i do n't mean to break the rules , but since i started this tradition ... liam : hey . hope : ... i think it 's allowed . right ? [ giggles ] brooke : sure . hope : my mom said that our daughter is lucky . and she is . but kelly is , too . because she has such a loving , devoted mother who is strong and independent , and ... you know , i hope that our daughters will see you as an inspiration . steffy : thank you . liam : yeah . thank you . well , uh , hope 's right . uh , you are . you are the strong , independent woman that our daughter will not only admire , but want to emulate . and i -- and i want to say that i think that strength is balanced by your kindness . you would n't be the leader that you are at forrester if it were n't for your heart , and i just want to thank you for letting me see into it , even if just for a little while . steffy : thank you , liam . and thank you , everyone . this is really one of my favorite days of the year . celebrating and giving thanks . i really hope we have many years to come . coming together in peace . forgetting our disagreements , even if it 's just for a day . just really feeling the love . and coming together for the best meal in los angeles .

[ all cheering ] liam : you know , everybody talks about putting aside their differences and coming together for the holidays . and , i 'm just saying , nobody exemplifies that more than you two . so , here 's to the people , the two people that i admire most in the world . happy thanksgiving . | the gang arrives at eric and quinn 's . donna thanks quinn for including her . quinn tells sally that she does not have to be nervous ; just make her son happy . liam is excited in being with kelly on her first thanksgiving and knowing he will have another girl next thanksgiving . zoe is there and feels grateful that she was included being so far away from home and today she is with xander . pam shows charlie a tray of hors d'oeuvres and wants him to make sure quinn gets a certain meatball .. on the extra spicy side . |
thorne : tell him , brooke . tell your husband that you will not condone his behavior -- that you want spectra couture in jackie m . ridge : that decision 's already been made , thorne . thorne : well maybe in your mind , ridge . but as far as forrester 's concerned -- ridge : that 's got nothing to do with you . thorne : well , it does with brooke . and without her support , that idea of yours will not fly , ridge . ridge : i already have brooke 's support . stephanie : do you ? brooke : stephanie , please . do we have to do this right now ? ridge just got home , and we 've hardly had a moment alone . stephanie : you had enough time to do the right thing . ridge : what exactly did you expect her to do , anyway ? [ scene_break ] jackie : all you have , jeff to remember is that eight equals 42 . women 's dress sizes change by twos . jeff : got it . jackie : and our gowns , susan -- they should be racked by region . like wine . italian designers . french . american . susan : that does seem more sophisticated . jackie : and that 's how i want our clientele to be treated . i want everyone who walks through that door to feel like royalty , even if they 're wearing a paper sack . deacon : it does n't matter what they look like when they come in here , jeff . give them a good , solid sales pitch , and they 're gon na leave looking like a movie star . kind of like this gorgeous woman . jackie : i think that 's quite enough , mr. sharpe . susan , jeff , you must be very exhausted . why do n't you guys just go home and get some rest -- we 've got a big day tomorrow . [ scene_break ] clarke : what do you think ? sally : well , to be honest , bucky , i think you should consider a serious waxing job on your beard and mustache if you 're planning on wearing that dress . clarke : this is for the jackie m boutique . sally : we do n't even know if we 're in yet . clarke : well , if anybody can get through to ridge , brooke can . sally : and if she ca n't , then we 're doomed . we ca n't let him do this , bucky . we ca n't let ridge win . clarke : we 've done everything we can do . sally : no , not everything . we have to think . clarke : oh , no , sally . we have to wait . i know you , sally . and you 're getting panicky . and when you get panicky , you get crazy . and when you get crazy , you do crazy things . and we 're not going to do that . we have gone legit . sally : we are going to go belly up if brooke does n't come through for us . i 'm telling you , bucky , that woman has our entire future right here in her hands . [ scene_break ] ridge : you asked brooke to give you her vote . eric : we asked brooke to consider what this decision will do to this family . stephanie : and to you , ridge . honey , you 've got to see that this animosity on your part is n't healthy . i think it 's coloring judgment . ridge : this is not a vendetta . i 'm not blackballing thorne . he 's free to hawk his collection anywhere he wants . thorne : uh - hmm . except for jackie m . ridge : that 's right . i do n't want to talk about it anymore . brooke : ridge asked you to leave . i think you should . stephanie : not until he understands what he 's doing . ridge : oh , i 'm the one who does n't understand , huh ? i 'm the one who 's being irrational ? eric : ridge , we 're trying to be sympathetic . ridge : yeah , to thorne . as usual . you guys are bending over backward to make life easier for thorne . if this was any other company besides spectra , you guys would be patting me on the back telling me what a great president i am . protecting our interests , protecting our company . but instead , you just want to protect thorne . it 's all about thorne . darla : you 're the one that keeps bringing him up , ridge . ridge : okay , fine . you want to end this right now ? let 's do it . let 's vote . you know where i stand . i know where you stand . brooke -- it 's time for you to weigh in . i want to know , do i put my loyalty to forrester aside and let spectra ruin our reputation so we can all become one big happy family here ? tell me . what do you think i should do ? [ scene_break ] jackie : well , thank you so much , both of you . i mean , you 've done a phenomenal job . i ca n't thank you enough . have a great evening . see you tomorrow . bye- bye . guard : i 'll see susan to her car . jackie : thank you . susan : bye . deacon : just could n't wait to get me alone , could you ? jackie : i 'll just double - check a few things and then we can go . deacon : that 's pretty -- pretty incredible , jackie . the way you jumped right back into the swing of things . jackie : it 's a bit like riding a very fancy bicycle . deacon : yeah ? well i guess that would make you fashion 's answer to lance armstrong . jackie : i do n't think so . deacon : i do . and so do your employees . jackie : my employees ? deacon : i 'm not just talking about those two . jackie , you 've got hundreds . you own this whole chain . jackie : it 's ironic . massimo , he gave me these boutiques because he knew i needed more than just being mrs. massimo marone . deacon : i saw that side of you long before he did . and i hope to see more of it . [ scene_break ] clarke : we 're in a tough fix . i 'll give you that . but we 've been in situations like this before . sally : no , clarke . spectra has seen more than its share of troubles . but this is unprecedented . we are sitting around waiting to see if we are going to sink or sail with a hold bursting with haute couture designs . this old ship has never been in a situation like this . clarke : well , you 're right about one thing . our collection has never been this good before . sally : and it might rot right where it is . think of that . the horror , the horror . clarke : sally , i do n't think that 's going to happen . sally : well , if this was just business , i 'd be inclined to agree with you , but it is not . bucky ol ' boy , we are caught up in a story as old as cain and abel . brother against brother . rivalry . jealousy . this could be a disaster of biblical proportions . clarke : that is if brooke ca n't talk some sense into that hothead ridge . sally : i hate to tell you this , bucky , but talking sense has never been her forte . she 's much better at driving men crazy . clarke : she 's driven ridge crazier than most , that 's for sure . she 's got his number , sal . sally : yeah . and i 've got to think about our numbers . because if we do n't get a contract with jackie m , they are going to be slipping into the negatives . we have to be prepared for the worst . we need a contingency plan . [ scene_break ] brooke : honestly , ridge -- everybody should leave and let you get settled in . eric , stephanie , ridge just got home from a very long plane flight and he 's very exhausted and jetlagged . now , no amount of arguing is going to resolve anything tonight . thorne : well tomorrow might be too late , brooke . i 've got a warehouse full of designs ready to be shipped out to jackie m boutiques all over the world . i 'm running out of time . the grand opening on rodeo is tomorrow . darla : honey . honey , maybe brooke is right . we 're just going around in circles here . brooke : why do n't you go upstairs and relax . i 'll show them out . ridge : good idea . thorne : that 's it ? brooke : that 's it . i still ca n't believe you even showed up here . thorne : brooke , there 's still time . stop . please talk to him . do not let him do this . eric : he 'll listen to you . stephanie : we 're counting on you . do n't you let us down . - he said , `` ciao , baby . `` - [ both laughing ] [ scene_break ] clarke : what are you doing ? sally : i 'm looking for a phone number . i 've got to call gladys . clarke : why ? sally : because if our plan is going to work , bucky , we 're going to need her help . clarke : i do n't know what makes me more nervous here . thinking that gladys can actually help , or you using the term `` we . `` sally : do n't worry about a thing , bucky . i 've got it all figured out . clarke : oh , you 're back . what happened ? thorne : nothing . darla : brooke did n't stand up to ridge . thorne : and now , i 'm not too sure she ever will . sally : well , listen , i 'm sure that clarke and i would love to stick around and console the two of you , but we have some work to do . thorne : did n't you hear what i just said , sally ? sally : yeah . do n't worry . sally spectra is on the case . [ scene_break ] ridge : are they gone ? brooke : yes . ridge : i thought they 'd never leave us alone . brooke : ridge , they 're concerned . ridge : yeah , about thorne and his precious collection . brooke : no . about you . they care about you . and this family . ridge : they were getting to you , were n't they ? look , i can see how you 'd be so sympathetic here . i mean , thorne 's really got this victim thing down pat , does n't he ? but you ca n't deny the negative impact this is having on forrester . brooke : but this is n't just about the business . ridge : let 's pretend it is . let 's pretend it 's not thorne we 're talking about . if you were still running forrester , what would you do ? brooke : let 's pretend something else . ridge : all right , i have another idea . let 's pretend i just got home and my family never knocked on the door . what would you do then ? i know what i 'd do . what i 've been wanting to do since i walked in the door . [ scene_break ] jackie : good - night . see you tomorrow . guard : good luck tomorrow . jackie : thank you . what , you wo n't be here ? guard : no . i 'm the night guy . jackie : oh . deacon : well , hopefully we 'll sell out everything and you wo n't have anything to guard . [ jackie laughs ] [ scene_break ] guard : hold it . gladys : oh , hello , handsome . guard : sorry , the shop 's closed . clarke : this is mr. marone here . massimo marone . guard : mr. marone ? clarke : yeah . he came to inspect the store . guard : why did n't he come with his wife ? clarke : we came from the hospital . guard : are you his doctor ? gladys : are you getting paid by the hour or by the question ? just let us in . [ sally coughs ] gladys : do i have to call your supervisor ? ca n't you see this is a very sick man ? guard : right . gladys : he 's an invalid . guard : sorry . gladys : you 're upsetting him ! guard : please , sir , come in . [ sally coughing ] gladys : you see ? you see now , you 've made him mad . if you want to keep your job , sonny , i 'd high - tail it right out of here . guard : i 'll wait outside . gladys : good idea . sally : so , what do you think , old friend ? how do you like the setup , huh ? gladys : oh , this is posh . sally : yeah . this is spectra 's new home , honey . clarke : my designs here , right next to forrester and all the other top designers . sally : our designs , clarke , hmm ? anyway , i told amber to bring them to the back door . clarke : you really think we can pull this off ? sally : absolutely . tonight , there is going to be a moonlight madness sale on rodeo drive . [ scene_break ] darla : do you think we should be worried about what sally is up to ? thorne : brooke is my only concern right now . i really thought she was the key . darla : well , she still might be . thorne : honey , she 's alone with ridge . darla : ha , exactly . thorne : i do n't think you understand the hold that he has on her . darla : well , you know , maybe she 's just biding her time . you know , because i think a good wife does n't greet her husband home from a business trip by throwing a problem at him . thorne : what does a good wife do ? darla : i 'm glad you asked . i think a good wife might unbutton a couple of buttons -- there we go . might help her man to relax . thorne : uh - hmm . darla : uh - hmm . maybe make a little romance . thorne : okay . darla : before she drops a bomb on him like that . thorne : i do n't know if that 's how brooke will get through to ridge , but honey , it 's working for me . darla : that 's the idea . thorne : i 'm still disappointed , though . darla : i know . i know , baby , so am i . you know , i really thought that brooke was ready to stand up to ridge . thorne : well , maybe we misjudged how she really felt about this . darla : how could she not want peace in her own family ? thorne : going against ridge may not be the best way to achieve that peace . darla : well , i was talking about our family . the forrester family . thorne : could you do it ? darla : well , if i knew i could make a better life for my children ? if i knew my husband would regret the decision that he was making ? yes . absolutely . i would stop you . even if i knew you 'd be furious with me . because i would know that oneday you would thank me . thorne : you 're sure you could turn me around ? darla : are you a man ? thorne : oh , it 's that simple ? darla : oh , honey , do n't you ever underestimate the persuasive power of a motivated woman . [ scene_break ] ridge : what a team , huh ? what a team . we 've always been a team , logan . even before we were married . brooke : what made you think of that ? ridge : you mean other than that little display of teamwork we just put on ? brooke : oh , is that what we 're calling it now ? ridge : before -- before with my family , is what i 'm talking about . brooke : oh . ridge : you know , i got asked about you almost as much as i got asked about thorne on this trip . brooke : really ? all the hot models asking you if you 're still married ? ridge : no . by our clients and the press wondering how it felt to be working with you again . brooke : what did you say ? ridge : what i always say . working with you is like not working at all . brooke : that 's sweet . ridge : yes , it is , is n't it ? you say anything sweet about me ? brooke : when ? ridge : when i was gone . seems like my name probably came up a lot . with all that 's going on . brooke : you 're thinking about that , again . well , i guess it 's kind of hard to forget . i know you heard your parents say that about thorne . ridge : not as hard to forget as you were . i found it in a little antique store in paris . brooke : what 's is it ? it has a plus sign and a minus sign . and it says something in french . ridge : it 's from a poem . i wo n't butcher the french language , but it basically means -- `` more than yesterday , less than tomorrow . `` that 's how much i love you . brooke : more than yesterday . less than tomorrow . i feel the same way . [ baby crying ] sounds like r.j. is still awake . ridge : i 'll go get him .

[ scene_break ] steffy : sweet . taylor : aw . so sweet . steffy : yeah , just aspen was amazing . ( speaks indistinctly ) we really needed it very much . taylor : ( speaking indistinctly ) ridge : they 're both here tonight ... liam : uh -- ridge : both women you love . but ... you made a commitment . so no matter what happens or what your feelings for hope happen to be , do not let steffy down . liam : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : mm . whoa . sorry . what was that for ? steffy : for sticking with our pact -- you know , sweep hope and liam off their feet . thomas : ( sighs ) steffy : thank you .

[ scene_break ] brooke : ( sighs ) thomas : look , it 's hard for you , too ... knowing hope is still in love with liam but also aware that if she goes after him , she 'd be breaking up a marriage . i know you do n't want that for your daughter , brooke . brooke : and what do you want for hope ? thomas : i 'm crazy about hope . i love making her laugh , and that 's something that she has not done a lot of lately . i know she ... ( sighs ) she 's not over liam and she 's still hurting , seeing him with my sister . but i think that 's something that i can get her past -- i want to .

( sighs ) ridge : hope ? do n't even think about leaving this thanksgiving dinner . liam : what 's going on ? ridge : listen to me , both of you . let 's not make a scene out here . let 's all go back inside . hope : no , ridge , i know what you expect . you expect me to go back in there and sit at a table with a man that i am supposed to be married to . but i wo n't do it . i ca n't . ridge : sweetheart , you 've got to get over this . hope : how ? ridge : by acknowledging liam and steffy 's marriage , for god 's sake , congratulating them , respecting the fact that this is the life that they share now . it 's the only way you 're gon na move on . sweetheart , you 've got to do this . you 've got to break this tie with liam tonight . both of you have to do this . | stephanie is in her element fussing around and making sure the thanksgiving day festivities is well underway and all the details taken care of . marcus brings a bottle of wine and dayzee . thorne brings taylor which surprises stephanie . she hears from sally and tells eric that she misses her not the spectra group stealing his designs , but just sally . pam pops in with her lemon bars , and is furious at stephanie who still had the caterers bring the traditional pumpkin pie . ridge tells hope that he knows there has been some tension lately , but steffy and liam are married now so he expects all of them to be civil to each other . hope says she got the message and she will respect the marriage . thomas clues her immediately that liam and steffy are not here yet and maybe it will be better if they do n't come . liam and steffy discuss which is the less of two evils , going to her family and facing hope 's wrath or to his and have katie 's evil eye . they pull off each other 's clothes instead and have their own celebration . |
quinn : that 's not your call ! you do n't get to decide what the rest of his life is gon na look like ! [ birds chirping ] bill : we good ? wyatt : yeah . bill : there . you see ? you can talk to me about this stuff . wyatt : [ scoffs ] about women ? no offense , dad , but -- bill : hey , watch it , watch it . we 're getting along right now . wyatt : but the only woman that i 'm interested in you 'd rather see with my brother . bill : what i want to see is my sons getting along . and that 's not going to happen until you agree to leave hope alone . wyatt : [ scoffs ] liam : listen , i get it . you do n't trust my dad right now . and what he did to your mom and your aunt was ... hope : slimy . liam : slimy . yeah , having my dad on our side just makes everything easier , even wyatt . i mean , my dad 's caused us so many problems over the years . i think he owes it to us to finally fix one . and he will , hope . he will . eric : [ sighs ] you do n't think aly 's gon na be happy about this ? thorne : i mean , dad , this is a big change . eric : thorne ... you 've worked very hard to give her a stable life and a constant life . she 's not a little girl anymore . thorne : mnh - mnh . do n't remind me . eric : [ laughs ] [ door opens ] eric : oh , here she is . aly : hi , dad . thorne : hi , honey . eric : hey , kid . aly : grandpa . eric : hi . glad you could make it . aly : is this your thing ? sneaking away from work in the middle of the day ? eric : uh , no . i just think your dad wanted to talk to you away from the office . aly : oh , no . do n't tell me i did something wrong my first day on the job . thorne : you did well today , aly . eric : we 're all very proud of you . aly : i really admire hope . there 's so much that i want to learn . eric : well , shadowing hope at forrester 's the best way to do it . thorne : honey , i do n't want to talk to you about work , okay ? i want to talk to you about us . our family . aly : what about it ? thorne : it 's time for a change . hope : well , having your dad in our corner is definitely going to take some getting used to . liam : yeah , well , do n't expect him to throw me a bachelor party . hope : i would n't let you go if he were throwing it . no , i mean , if we were planning a wedding . liam : well , we will be eventually . it 's just -- it 's just gon na be really nice not having to defend my relationship with you against wyatt anymore . wyatt : were n't you listening to me ? bill : every word . wyatt : i 'm not messing with liam ! i have real feelings for hope ! bill : all the more reason to stop this . wyatt : so , give up because i have feelings for her ? bill : hope was engaged to your brother . wyatt : not anymore . bill : the wedding 's on hold . wyatt : she took off his ring . bill : i do n't care if she left him at the altar ! you stand by your family ! you do n't interfere ! wyatt : please tell me you see the irony in that . bill : look , if you pursue this , you will lose your relationship with your brother and your friendship with hope . wyatt : and my relationship with you ? will i lose that , too ? you giving me an ultimatum here , dad ? [ cell phone ringing ] aly : are n't you gon na get that ? thorne : no . no . it can wait . [ ringing stops ] aly : so serious . making me nervous . thorne : honey , i 've been getting calls from a real - estate agent . a buyer has made an offer on the house . aly : it 's not on the market . thorne : i know , honey . and every time i said no , the buyer came back with a higher offer . this last offer was so high ... i had to take it . aly : what do you mean ? thorne : i sold the house . aly : our house ? thorne : yes , honey . and it 's in escrow , and we 're gon na have to move out very quickly . aly : i 'm sorry . move ? thorne : look , honey , i know -- i know this is n't how we do things . we discuss them . we talk about it . but , sweetie , there was just no time . the offer was too high . i had to take it . aly : what about our memories ? are n't they worth anything ? thorne : hey . we will always have those memories , okay ? but the house is not ours . liam : okay , okay . after this , we do n't even have to acknowledge wyatt 's existence . but i just want to make sure this is okay with you . hope : i 'm sorry . what ? liam : me going to my dad , asking him to talk to wyatt . hope : talk to who ? i do n't -- it 's not ringing a bell . i do n't -- liam : ah . yes . 'cause we 're not acknowledging his existence . hope : not acknowledging whose existence ? liam : wow . hope : [ laughs ] it was lame , right ? it was lame . liam : i think it was awesome . hope : oh , god . if that 's an example of an awesome joke to you -- liam : i 'm not talking about the joke . i 'm talking about the smile that accompanied it . hope : oh , this one ? liam : that 's it . that 's the one right there . i will work overtime for the rest of my life just to keep that smile on your face . hope : [ chuckles ] bill : this is n't about us . we 're fine . wyatt : except you 're taking liam 's side in this . bill : i do n't want you two fighting over hope . wyatt : but you want me to give up . bill : move on . wyatt : [ chuckles ] or what ? i asked you before . are you giving me an ultimatum , dad ? bill : wyatt , if i came here to give you an ultimatum , there would be no doubt about it . i 'm not telling you anything you have n't heard from liam or from hope . wyatt : well , she has n't said anything like this in awhile . bill : which is why you 're hearing it from me right now . wyatt : because liam 's nervous ! hope said that she needed time to think , and now she 's spending way too much of that time thinking about me . and you were pretty aggressively opposed to them even being together . why the sudden turnaround ? quinn : i 'd like to hear the answer to that myself . why is liam 's happiness more important than wyatt 's ? bill : i never said that hope would make liam happy . quinn : but he should be with her and not my son regardless of how he feels about her or how she might feel about him ? [ cell phone chimes ] wyatt : it 's that shipment we 've been waiting for . quinn : you can take care of it . wyatt : good luck . quinn : how dare you interfere with my son ? thorne : i know this is a big change . aly : it 's our home . where i grew up . how would you feel if grandpa sold this place ? eric : i 've thought about that , aly . a big house like this , an estate like this , it 's really too big for one person . aly : one person and a whole lot of memories . almost all of the memories i have of mom are at that house . thorne : no , honey . those memories , they 're right here . aly : but that house is where i feel the closest to her . you have memories of mom all over the place -- here , home , the office . thorne : i do . thorne : darla , i 'm asking you to marry me . darla : that 's what i thought you said . thorne : well ? do n't tell me that you have to think about it . darla : [ laughing ] no , no , i do n't have to think about it . [ sniffles ] not for a second . [ chuckles ] thorne : i 'm gon na make you the happiest girl in the world . darla : maybe it 's too late . you already did . thorne : i still love your mother very much . and i cherish every connection that i still have with her . most of all ... you . it was very difficult to sell the house where we lived . but i had to take it . and ... [ chuckles ] your mother would kick me in the pants if i 'd passed this offer up . you know that ? [ chuckles ] eric : [ chuckles ] sally taught her well . thorne : your mother did n't have a place she could call home when she was growing up . sally was her home . our -- our family was her home . eric : your parents were married in this room . thorne : [ chuckles ] your mother loved this house . aly : so do i . it 's the only other place i feel really connected to her . eric : then i think this is where you should live . hope : all right , well , i have to get downstairs . there 's a meeting i need to prepare for . liam : i should probably get back to work , too . so , goodbye . wyatt : wow . you ca n't leave before i congratulate you . wow . you really stepped up your game . whining to daddy . bold move , yoga boy . liam : well , i was n't having any luck getting through to you . wyatt : hmm . neither did he . did liam tell you about this ? hope : we were just discussing it . wyatt : mmm . i ca n't wait to hear what kind of spin he put on it . hope : liam just said he went to bill and asked for support . wyatt : he invited bill to interfere in your life . after everything he 's put you through , you 'd just ask him to step in ? who you gon na ask next ? eric ? you gon na ask him to rip up our contract now ? hope : okay , okay . if you boys can not play nice with each other -- [ cell phone chimes ] hope : ... then -- then just ... ugh , i - i have to go to this meeting . liam : no , it 's okay . go , go . i 'll catch up with you later . hope : okay . wyatt : not if i catch up with you first . [ chuckles ] oh , you still here ? you did n't go rushing off to complain to daddy again ? liam : no , i think you 're right . i should probably deal with this one on my own . wyatt : huh . bill : you do n't know me that well anymore . but you should know that `` how dare you `` is not a good way to start a conversation with me . quinn : this is not a conversation . this is you listening to me . bill : no , it 's not . you do n't want to do this here . so come see me after you 've cooled off . quinn : i think we 're gon na do this right now . bill : [ sighs ] i see you have n't lost your considerable charm over the years . quinn : i am just looking out for my son . bill : you 're not doing him any favors . quinn : unlike you . all the strings that you 're pulling for liam . you never even thought that he and hope were a good match . now suddenly , what ? you are their champion ? bill : liam asked me to talk to wyatt . quinn : wyatt does n't have to listen to you . bill : he will . quinn : why ? because you 're his father ? bill : because i understand the situation , and i know how it 's going to end . quinn : mm - hmm . bill : hope and liam have endured too much . quinn : oh ! and what -- what have they endured ? a few of your tricks ? some temporary setbacks ? wyatt is so much better suited for hope than liam is . and you , you need to stay out of my son 's way where that girl is concerned . and as far as all of the success that we 've experienced , that we have made for ourselves , you had better not mess with that . bill : if you 're worried about your little deal with forrester -- quinn : i am not worried about anything ! i 'm worried about my son ! we have a really good thing going here , bill . wyatt is happy , and he 's in love . he has earned his chance with hope . let him have it . let him have what you never gave to me . bill : this is n't about you . quinn : you tainted me ! you treated me the same way that liam treats hope -- like a plaything , like a toy that he can pick up and discard whenever he wants ! well , you know what ? hope now has a choice , a better choice than i ever had . she can choose wyatt . and she will ... if you leave them alone . bill : [ sighs ] aly : you want me to live with you ? eric : yes . your dad can come , too . aly : but if this offer 's so great , we can just get our own house . thorne : well , honey , it 's not the forrester mansion . eric : full of wonderful memories like this ? aly , come here . come here . aly , this house ... this house used to fill with lights when your mother was in it . the way it filled up with light when you came in the door here awhile ago . this house needs that kind of energy and vitality . without it , it 's just ... it 's just me and a bunch of pictures in here . it 's like a museum and i 'm the -- i 'm the caretaker . i want you to feel at home here . aly : i always have . this is where we celebrated holidays , birthdays . one year , i must have asked for roller skates . mom told me someday she 'd teach me to use them out in the courtyard . eric : [ chuckles ] that -- that would have been something to see . thorne : you still can . give mom a good laugh . aly : only if you do it with me . thorne : is that a yes ? aly : yes . thorne : [ laughs ] liam : you know , i am so sick of this . this may be fun for you , but this is my life . wyatt : you can live it any way you want , my brother . just know that you might not be living it with hope . liam : do you know that there 's something off about you ? there has been ever since the day you showed up . it 's -- it 's the way that you do things , really . the way that you kissed hope , the way you disrespect me , our father , the way you inserted yourself into forrester , the hope for the future diamond , that sketchy attempted robbery . wyatt : oh , you 're jealous . liam : i do n't know , wyatt . something just does n't feel right . wyatt : to you . but i can assure you [ chuckles ] it does feel right to hope . liam : hope does n't see it , because you know better than to show it to her , but there is something very wrong with you . you and your mother . wyatt : nice . nice . bring my mom into it . that 's very classy . liam : no , i did n't have to . she brought herself into this . snooping through my private e - mails ? wyatt : [ chuckles ] liam : sending that video to hope ? she crossed a line . that is shady , wyatt . and now i know where you get it . yeah . i will enlist my father and eric and anyone or anything that will keep you in check . so , please , enjoy , savor this attention you 're getting from hope right now , because slow and steady wins the race , and you are two steps shy from blowing it , my brother . that i can assure you . wyatt : [ laughs ] oh , god ! i love it ! i love it . liam : okay . wyatt : [ laughs ] `` slow and steady wins the race . `` all right . quinn : i 'm not gon na let you do this to my son , deny his happiness like you tried to deny his existence . bill : i think we 're past that , do n't you ? quinn : you stripped me of my dignity , and now you 're trying to do that to wyatt ! bill : you are making way too much out of this . quinn : oh , my god . has he told you what this relationship means to him ? he 's talking about marriage ! bill : it 's not going to happen . quinn : that 's not your call ! you do n't get to decide what the rest of his life is gon na look like ! god , i was so young and naive when you threw money at me and you told me to just disappear . do you know what that did to me ? the effect that that had on my life ? yeah . i told wyatt that his father was dead because i did n't want him to know . you ... are a despicable man . bill : i 've been called worse . quinn : yeah , but , see ... [ chuckles ] i 'm not that young , naive girl anymore . and you , you -- well , you 're no longer king of the business world . i mean , you 're not even c.e.o . of your own company . brooke , katie -- oh , they 're finished with you . and if you 're not careful , wyatt will be , too . bill : i 'll take my chances . quinn : yeah , well , he does n't need you , bill . wyatt is as happy and as successful as he 's ever been in his entire life , and i am not going to let you ruin that for him . see , it 's been so long , but i remember the day that i gave this to you . it represented how i saw you -- fiercely protective , strong as steel , a man who would never , ever turn his back on his own blood . bill : what the hell ? quinn : [ chuckles ] revenge tastes ... so sweet . | bill puts his hand on wyatt 's shoulder and brags that see they can talk about this stuff . wyatt scoffs that about women .but the only woman he is interested in bill wants to see with wyatt 's brother . bill says the only thing he wants to see is his sons getting along and that will never happen until wyatt agrees to give up hope . quinn purposely eavesdrops and hears liam tell hope that he knows she has an issue with his dad after what he did to both brooke and katie . she says yes that was slimy . he agrees but says it will be easier on them to have bill on their side , especially with wyatt . he will talk to him and get wyatt to back off . bill has done so much to them over the years that he owes him this one to fix it . he will . hope says it will definitely take some getting used to with bill on their side . liam agrees but so much easier so he does n't have to defend his relationship with her to wyatt . aly is devastated when thorne tells her that he had to sell the house . the offer was too good to turn down and now it is in escrow and they must move out . he says he knows this is not the way they usually do things , they discuss it first but there just was no time . she asks about the memories , they should count for something . he says they will always have their memories but the house is not theirs . eric even chimes in and says this house is too big without others in it . it 's an estate and it 's like he 's the caretaker . thorne tells her that he knows nearly all of her memories of her mom was in that house but they are also in their hearts . she says she knows that thorne has memories of her mom all over in this , eric 's house , and at the office but hers were all at that home . thorne tells her that darla did not have a home growing up so sally was her home and then their family was her home . he laughs and says her mother would kick him in the pants if he passed up this offer . she finally comes around and says the only other place she feels close to her mom is eric 's home . eric says then even more reason they should come live with him .... it 's settled . liam tells hope that after this they do not even have to acknowledge wyatt but he just wants to make sure this is okay with her . she pretends not to remember wyatt 's name or his existence . liam says he just wants to be sure she is okay with him talking to his father about wyatt . he kisses her and says he would work overtime for the rest of his life to keep that smile on her face . wyatt asks bill if he is listening to him . he is not messing with liam ; he has real feelings for hope . hope is not engaged any more . she took off the ring . bill says it does n't matter if hope left him at the altar , you stand by your family . you do n't interfere . he continues that he will lose his relationship with not only his brother but hope as well . wyatt says then he must want him to give up . is he giving him an ultimatum ? quinn walks up and listens outside the door . bill says no , it is not an ultimatum . if it were he 'd know it ; there would be no doubt . and he knows all of this is not anything he has n't heard already from liam or hope . wyatt says hope has n't said anything like that in a while . bill says that is why he is hearing it from him now . wyatt says that is because liam is nervous . hope said she needed some time but she is spending way too much of that time thinking about wyatt . and he knows bill was opposed in the beginning so why the turn - around . at that point quinn barges in and says she 'd like to hear that answer herself . why is liam 's happiness more important than wyatt 's ? bill says he never said liam would be happy with hope . quinn says but he wants them to be together regardless of how wyatt feels or how hope might feel about wyatt . wyatt gets a phone call and tells his mom it 's the shipment they have been waiting for . she tells him that he can handle that by himself . quinn tells bill how dare he interfere with her son . bill just smirks and glares at her . |
quinn : first i want to thank you both for helping out with the festivities . pam : well , thanksgiving is very important to eric . quinn : and eric is important to al of us , is n't he , pam ? pam : he 's very , very important . steffy : okay . it 's his favorite holiday , so let 's just get through it without any drama , okay ? quinn : yes , and , on that respect , you are reaching out to the family , making sure everybody 's invited ? steffy : yep . granddad invited them . i will make sure that they are here . quinn : thank you . steffy : i 'm doing it for my grandfather , quinn . pam : same reason i 'm making a big , fresh batch of lemon bars for him . quinn : oh , pam , do you really think that 's a good idea ? you know , doctor 's orders ... pam : a couple of thanksgiving lemon bars are n't gon na kill the man . steffy : i think he 'll be okay . do n't you , quinn ? quinn : yeah . eric : well , here 's something else i can be thankful for -- three of my favorite ladies working to get my family together for thanksgiving . maya : we know we asked a lot , zende , but what you did was -- zende : it was a lot . she had already given you both a child . you had to ask for another ? rick : so , you hit on sasha ? zende : i did n't hit on her . rick : really ? you just took her to hawaii ? maya : you slept with her , zende . zende : look , i regret that more than either of you know . i was a mess . but the woman that i loved , the one that i waited for , the one that i want to spend the rest of my life with , is n't sasha . it 's nicole . it will always be nicole . nicole : sorry . i ... did n't know you were in here . rick : no , it 's okay . come on in . we wanted to talk to you anyway . nicole : i can come back . maya : no , no , no . stay . nicole : hi . zende : hi . nicole : so , what 's up ? rick : thanksgiving . nicole : what about it ? rick : dad wants everybody at the house . nicole : mom and dad wo n't be there . she 's got the flu , and dad wants to stay with her . zende : that 's too bad . grandfather wanted all the families together , despite what happened . maya : your grandfather 's had a tough year . rick : yeah . you know , i know we 're all a little less than crazy about sitting down and having dinner with quinn , but ... i think it 's the right thing to do , do n't you ? zende : thanksgiving -- it 's all about forgiveness , right ? rick : yeah ... and putting aside our differences for the holidays . maya , you think , uh , we should ... ? maya : yeah . right . we have work to do . we will leave you alone . steffy : let 's see . we got a lot of forresters here -- nine by my count . eric : yeah ? let me see . pam : any out - of - towners ? steffy : no , not this year . eric : no , there 's 10 forresters . you only have nine . you 're leaving quinn out . steffy : right . quinn : the list looks wonderful , steffy . well done . pam : now , are you sure that all these names are gon na actually show ? steffy : yeah . everyone 's gon na be here -- no excuses . everyone knows it 's granddad 's special day . quinn : well , i know one person who 's not going be here . steffy : who ? quinn : wyatt . quinn : where 's pam ? steffy : went to the store to get ingredients . quinn : liam , i presume ? steffy : he just wants to know what time dinner is . what do you want to talk to me about ? quinn : that . steffy : quinn , no . i do n't -- quinn : look , steffy , i am not trying to interfere in your life . steffy : then let 's not talk about my life . we have a truce for the holidays . let 's not threaten it , okay ? quinn : point taken . but i have a son , and he lives here and he 's suffering . steffy : [ sighs ] where is he going instead ? quinn : he said something about driving up the coast . steffy ... we have so much to be thankful for this year -- i mean , your grandfather 's health . the company is doing so great . this should be a big , huge family celebration . but i 'm not gon na be happy knowing that wyatt is out there alone , and i 'm sure that 's not what you want for him . steffy : he 's just being stubborn . quinn : i think -- i think he 's being honest . can you imagine how hard it would be for him to sit across the table from you and liam ? steffy : well , he 's just gon na have to get over it , okay ? quinn : well ... he will . and ... tomorrow will be a start . and i know that i want him there , and i know eric does , too . steffy : so , what are you asking ? quinn : something i probably have no right to ask . can you please talk to him ? in the spirit of family and tradition , ask him to join us for thanksgiving dinner . i think you 're the only one who 's gon na get through to him . maya : you know , i do n't care about zende 's justification . yes , nicole should have spoken to him before she agreed to be our surrogate , but for him to react that way and with sasha ? rick : i know . i know . look , i agree . baby , it 's thanksgiving . it 's time to forgive , right ? maya : yeah . i just hope nicole can forgive zende . zende : how you doing ? nicole : wish i could say , `` great , `` but i wo n't lie . i 'm still pretty hurt . you ? zende : i 'm not exactly looking forward to the holidays . nicole : me , neither . zende : you were pregnant this time last year . nicole : we were together . zende : you know we should be together this year , too , nicole . nicole : zende -- zende : look , if i could go back and undo the last couple of weeks , i would , but i ca n't . but what you heard me say to rick and maya -- i meant that , nicole . i love you -- only you . pam : unsalted . good for the blood pressure . quinn : hey , hey , hey . you 're supposed to be resting . eric : i 'll rest after tomorrow . i see you got through to steffy . quinn : yeah , well , let 's see if she can get through to wyatt . wyatt : you rang . i 'm here . what 's up ? steffy : i need help with thanksgiving . wyatt : i 'm more of a steak guy , so if you 're not serving steak , i just do n't think i could show up . steffy : no . the help i need is your presence at the table . wyatt : mom told you , huh ? steffy : yeah . she said something about you driving up the coast ... by yourself . wyatt : yeah . i mean , i figure once i get past santa barbara , the roads will be clear , so it 'll be fun . steffy : come on . you belong here with family . wyatt : i mean , that 's -- that 's -- that 's a cozy thought . fireplace going , everybody sitting around the table , talking about what they 're thankful for , and then there 's me , sitting across the table from you and liam . you know , i think i 'll pass . steffy : wyatt , i want you here . wyatt : [ chuckles softly ] look , i - i get why we did n't work ... but , please , do n't make me suffer through that . it is way too soon for that . it 'll always be too soon . steffy : [ sighs ] i know you do n't want to be here tomorrow . both liam and i understand how difficult this is for you . wyatt : understand ? you understand ? that 's a little overrated , do n't you think ? i mean , i understand the way you feel about my brother , but that does n't make it better . it actually kind of makes it worse . steffy : maybe . i do n't know . maybe it will be helpful -- i know not short- term , but ... maybe it will help us understand why this all happened . wyatt : i 'd like to think ... what happened was because of the way we felt for each other . steffy : yeah , yeah . that , too , of course . wyatt : that 's not just , like , a footnote , steffy . what we had was amazing , or i thought it was . i mean , or was it a lie , i mean , or like some game of pretend ? `` oh , you know , i 'm gon na pretend to be in love with wyatt . `` steffy : wyatt , that was real . it was real . wyatt : okay . just not real enough . steffy : you know this was because of your mom . wyatt : my mom . my mom . i know . she just -- she put all the pieces in place , right ? but when she did ... what we had together ... i mean , that was -- that was something , was n't it ? maya : you know , i never fully realized how one simple question could cause so much havoc . rick : i did n't , either . maya : all i could see was the smile on my baby girl 's face . and i thought that giving her a sibling would make that smile grow . and now i 'm worried that i ruined my sister 's life . i mean , nicole loves zende so much . rick : baby , we just got to pray that they 're gon na find a way to overcome this . zende : tell me you believe that , nicole . it 's true . you 're the only woman i want . nicole : how can i ? you were with sasha . i walked in on you two in bed . how do i forget that ? you must have had feelings for her . it 's not like you to just -- zende : i wo n't make excuses . but i was hurt , confused . we were planning a life together , or at least i thought we were . children someday -- you know , we both wanted that , right ? but your heart -- your heart was so big ... you wanted to be there for your sister again , give her another child . look , i know what i did was selfish , but the thought of watching you go through another pregnancy , it was like -- it was like everything i so desperately wanted , you did n't want anymore . nicole : and sasha was there ? zende : yes , she was . all right ? she listened to me . she made me laugh . she was a good friend to me . nicole : a friend ? zende , you knew what she wanted , what she 's always wanted -- you . she wanted you when i was pregnant . you know what that did to me . it almost destroyed us . and this time , it did . zende : no . no . nicole , look ... nothing is going to destroy us . i wo n't let that happen . nicole : it already has , zende . zende : no , it has n't . i never stopped loving you -- never . look , i regret the way i handled things , truly , but , you know , our situation -- it 's rather unique . i mean , we are unique . the fact that i 'm fighting for us right now , you 've got to know what that means -- that you are the only woman i will ever love . nicole : [ voice breaking ] zende ... i know you want to believe that . god knows i want to believe it , too . but i ca n't . it 's words , zende -- just words . zende : you need more than words ? i 'll give you more than words . eric : all righty . quinn : wait , do n't ! no ! eric : what ? it 's a corner piece . it 's a corner piece . quinn : maybe tomorrow . eric : maybe tomorrow ? quinn : tomorrow . eric : it 's gon na be like this , huh ? quinn : mm - hmm . eric : tomorrow . quinn : mm - hmm . eric : tomorrow ... is thanksgiving . quinn : ha ! and we have so much to be thankful for , do n't we ? eric : yeah . and at the top of my list are you and steffy putting aside your differences so that our family can share this day tomorrow . quinn : yes . i just hope wyatt is here to share with us . steffy : our marriage was something else . wyatt : something else good or something else bad ? steffy : something else wonderful . and i do n't regret one day of it . i do n't have any bad feelings for you , okay ? our memories -- i will cherish that forever . it 's just the circumstances . wyatt : what -- what do circumstances have to do with this ? what is a circumstance , anyway ? steffy : a situation that affects something -- in this case , your mom . wyatt : `` a , `` i know the definition of `` circumstance . `` steffy : okay . wyatt : `` b , `` what -- what should have affected the situation was how we felt about each other . steffy : and we 've always had those feelings from the very beginning . but before that , i was in love with your brother , and if it had n't been for your mom 's dirty tricks -- kidnapping liam , making me thing that it was over between us -- we would n't have been married , and ... honestly , we probably sh -- wyatt : should n't have ? is that what you were gon na say ? is that what you -- is that what you honestly believe , steffy ? because i do n't . being married to you was the best time of my life . and i know ... up until that point , i have a feeling ... that you felt that way , too . but i guess that 's water over the dam or under the bridge , evaporated into thin air . i ... i guess you want my brother now . but you should know that ... steffy : know what ? wyatt : ... i miss you . and do i wish we were back together ? i do n't know . what do you think ? steffy : [ crying ] look , um ... i do n't want to make things awkward , uh , between us , and liam does n't want that , either , so can we just , um , start fresh -- a new beginning ? and that can start tomorrow at dinner . just tell me you 'll be there . wyatt : [ chuckles softly ] maybe ... i can stop by . steffy : really ? wyatt : maybe . i mean , i would n't want to miss out on a thanksgiving mystery seating chart or whatever . steffy : [ sighs ] thank you . nicole : i do n't know what you have there , zende , but do n't even open it . zende : why ? nicole : i ca n't trust you . i certainly do n't need you giving me jewelry . zende : so , you 're sure it 's jewelry ? well , come to thanksgiving tomorrow . you 're family , all right ? we 'll show them this . we 'll tell them what we have . nicole : there 's nothing to tell them . that story ended when i saw you and sasha together . zende : look , i 'm sorry , but that 's unacceptable , okay ? we 'll tell them that we 're engaged ... that we want to get married and that we love each other and the fact that we can overcome anything and that we want a future and a life and a family and the next child that you have will be our child , nicole . all right . say you 'll marry me . say yes . nicole : [ crying ] i ca n't , zende . i ca n't . zende : at least come to thanksgiving tomorrow . it 's important to my granddad . he wants to be surrounded by family , and you are my family , nicole . i 'll have this with me . i understand you do n't want to accept it today . i get that . but you will be my wife , nicole . | pam , steffy and quinn all sit and plan ahead for thanksgiving . eric wants to be sure they are all there and put aside their differences for the holiday . pam wants to make a fresh batch of lemon bars which quinn is not sure the doctors would advise but steffy and pam agree that one bar is n't going to harm eric so lemon bars it will be . eric says he is thankful for his three favorite girls all together to make this day special . quinn says she knows one person who wo n't be here wyatt . quinn says wyatt lives here and he is suffering . they have much to celebrate this year but it will be very hard for him to sit across the table from her and liam . she says she has no right to ask but she wishes steffy would ask him to join them . she may be the only one who could get him to come . maya and rick talk to zende and he says he knows they are mad at him , but they have one baby by nicole and yet they asked for another . he did not think that was right . maya accuses him of sleeping with sasha . he says yes and he wishes he could take that back . nicole is outside the door and hears him say that he loves only nicole . it will always be nicole . she tries to duck out but zende sees her and again starts up how sorry he is . nicole says the avants will not be there for thanksgiving as viv has the flu and julius wants to stay with her . maya and rick agree that in the spirit of the holiday they should forgive zende and just hope that he and nicole can get back together . wyatt comes home and steffy manages to catch him alone and asks him to please come to the thanksgiving dinner . all he has to do is just be there ; she wants him to be with his family . he shrugs it off and says the last thing he wants to do is sit across the table from her and liam and say what they are thankful for . he has suffered enough and that would just be more . it will always be too soon . she says both she and liam understand but maybe it will help in the long term if not for right now . she says what they had was real but his own mom put all the pieces in place . |
