[ chuckles ] but i know you mean well . and i love you . quinn : thank you , sweetheart . [ sighs ] well , now the truth comes out of why i took on the seating arrangements . you and i have been tested so much since we first got together , and this past year has been no exception . but we get through it , and we seem to get stronger and more committed and more in love . you and i would not even be here right now if it was n't for your understanding , your immense ability to forgive , and to -- to always see the best in people . all : aww . eric : happy thanksgiving , stephanie . you douglas women , so self - reliant and , uh , devoted , loving . thank you for keeping stephanie 's memory alive and for keeping us all connected through her memory . you 're a douglas through and through , but to me and to all of us , you are a forrester . pam : oh , eric .

hope : oh my god . how 're you ? you - you 're alive . i ca n't believe it is you , it 's you . i thought , i thought you were dead . i thought- thomas : okay . it 's okay hope . i 'm here . i 'm all right . hope : oh my god , no . oh my god . oh my gosh . shauna : hey . oh , well , this is nice mood lighting . are you expecting someone ? maybe for a seance or something ? ridge : oh no , the seance is the third saturday of every month . if you really wan na talk to someone , got ta put your name in early . they fill up . shauna : ah . oh , good to know . thank you . ridge : i have n't seen quinn . shauna : oh , uh , no , no , no . quinn and eric are still working , i think . i just wanted to get out of the guest house for a minute , you know , it 's a little quiet in there sometimes too quiet . not that i 'm complaining 'cause it 's amazing over there . or i could , uh , you know , make something up like i ran out of milk or i needed to borrow a screwdriver . i actually came in here hoping to see you . shauna : if you wan na be alone , i can- ridge : no , no , no . i think um , i think you should stay . shauna : i was hoping you 'd say that . besides , i was just over there reading this book , it 's not the best . it 's about this nurse and world war i , and you know , i just keep reading the same page over and over again and i can tell by me just talking about it to you is boring you . ridge : what do you mean ? this is no , this is my intrigued face . shauna : huh ! well , you might wan na work on your [ inaudible 00 : 02 : 30 ] ( laughs ) . ridge : well , maybe it 's my i have a lot of things on my mind face . shauna : anything you wan na talk about ? ridge : i do n't know . it 's , it 's my family , my kids , you know , i get , i try to keep everyone together , but i think maybe we , uh , we pushed it too far . i may have lost my son . thomas : i 'm right here , hope . i did n't die . okay ? i 'm alive . hope : did anyone else see you ? does my mom know that you 're here ? thomas : your mom was putting douglas to bed when i came in , but i promise i am standing right here . you 're not seeing things . hope : hey , i do n't understand . the night we were arguing on the catwalk and i pushed you , then i heard a splash , and i did n't think that ... when i came back and you were n't anywhere and i could n't find any trace of you [ inaudible 00 : 03 : 29 ] thomas : hey , hey , but i 'm here now . hope : i am so relieved that you are . i am so grateful . i 'm so grateful that you are alive . thomas : do you really meant that ? hope : yes . of course i do , thomas . ridge : so , here 's a weird one , hope told me that thomas was dead . shauna : dead ? like dead to her ? ridge : i , i do n't know . i guess so . but that 's an , that 's an odd thing to say to somebody . right ? shauna : she has moved on with liam , maybe that 's what she meant . ridge : you know what person she has n't moved on from ? douglas . and brooke is right there leading the charge . like she 's , she 's moving chess pieces around . shauna : wow . that must be really hard for you . ridge : yeah . that 's where , i 'm living there right now . i 'm broken out with trying to figure it out but it just seems you ca n't find the compromise , you know ? shauna : i understand . it does take two to compromise . ridge : i , i know how many people it takes , but i 'm already there . i 'm standing in the middle waiting for her , but she wo n't give thomas another chance . shauna : from brooke 's point of view , thomas has done his fair share of not telling the truth . ridge : i think thomas was also trying to protect his sister . he was trying to protect [ steffy 's 00 : 05 : 02 ] happiness . shauna : i understand . ridge : and i 'm , and i 'm not , i 'm not making excuses for him , it was awful . but he is trying to get better , he 's spending time with his son , he wants to be a better father . and whatever he does , it 's never gon na be good enough for brooke and hope . they 're not gon na stop until they take that little boy away from him . hope : the vat that thomas fell into , it was n't water . it was hydrofluoric acid . brooke : what ? hope : i killed him . i ki- , i killed thomas . nobody even knows yet . nobody has any idea . i mean ridge , steffy , douglas . i have to tell the truth and i should have from the start . hope : i have to tell you the truth , ridge . hope : i ca n't believe it 's really you . thomas : i thought you would 've been surprised to see me . hope : but how ? i thought you fell into the vat of acid , not , not , not that i knew that , that 's what it was , i just ... i did n't know . i had no idea until after i found douglas and i ran into charlie and then he told me about the hazardous materials , and then that 's when i panicked , and i realized what could have happened to you . and i ran to the storage room and i , i got a flashlight and i was looking all over and that 's when i saw the signs on the wall warning about the acid and i looked everywhere . i looked into that and i , i thought that i- thomas : you thought that i was dead . hope : my worst fear , that i had killed you and i would have never been able to forgive myself . i 'm just glad that you 're all right . i just do n't understand though . how are you standing in front of me right now ? i do n't . it does n't make sense . thomas : i 'm sorry . i never should have put you in that position . we should n't have been arguing and i should n't have chased after you . and look , i know you were just trying to defend douglas and i was just too caught up in , in trying to make you see , you know , what i wanted and , but , but that was wrong . and , and i should , i should have- hope : i just , i do n't understand how you survived . thomas : okay . after i fell , um , i do n't remember everything , but i remember , i remember being alone in the vat . hope : in the acid ? thomas : you thought it was acid . hope : i saw the signs after what charlie told me , and , and in the hazmat guy . speaker 6 : you should n't be in here . we need to shut down the ventilation system . hope : how is it possible that you 're here right now ? thomas : it was n't acid . hope : what ? thomas : the hydrofluoric acid had already been removed and they 'd replaced it with a cleaning solution by then . hope : cleaning solution ? thomas : yeah . i heard some of the crew guys talking about it . i mean , it 's , it 's still powerful stuff . i mean , i 'm still kind of raw all over and , and , and i cleaned my eyes out so much , i just , just making sure , you know . if it had been acid , i would n't be here right now . and i would n't be looking at the most beautiful woman i 've ever seen in my entire life . shauna : it sounds like hope 's determined to get a mother 's day card from your grandson . ridge : yeah . i think that 's what that dinner was about the other night at the office . shauna : and you knew it . ridge : and i was right . shauna : what ? ridge : thomas signed the paper . shauna : he gave up his rights ? ridge : i do n't know what he gave up , but now they share custody . shauna : bu - but they 're not together . ridge : that 's california law for you , you do n't have to be together , i guess . shauna : so legally they 're both his parents ? ridge : seems that way . shauna : wow . ridge : yeah . i was right . now hope is in charge of everything about this boy , whether it 's decisions on religion or education or what 's gon na happen to his birthday party or what they 're doing during the holidays . shauna : and how does liam feel about all this ? ridge : he 's not thrilled about it . shauna : and what about thomas ? ridge : i have n't heard from thomas . the only information i have comes from brooke and hope and it 's not good . something about thomas , he just ... whenever he gives something , he wants something in return . shauna : so what do you think he wants in return ? ridge : he wants another shot at being with hope . shauna : well , he must really be in love with her . ridge : maybe . but we all know how she feels about him . it 's very clear . shauna : but he still signed the papers . ridge : yeah . no one has seen him or heard from him since . shauna : seriously ? ridge : mm - hmm ( affirmative ) . he does n't return my calls , steffy 's calls . shauna : i understand why you 're upset . i 'm just so sorry that you 're going through all of this . ridge : hey . brooke : hi . did you get my text ? ridge : yeah . i , i just now saw it . i 'm , i 'm so worried about thomas . brooke : that 's why i 'm calling . i need to talk to you about your son . ridge : what is it ? brooke : i think it 's best to do this face to face . are you at [ eric 's 00 : 11 : 32 ] ? ridge : yeah . brooke : all right . i 'll be over soon . hope : so it was n't acid ? but charlie said and there were signs posted . thomas : no . thankfully the , the crew had switched it out with a cleaning solution by then . hope : but when i went back to get you , i could n't find you anywhere and i looked all over that room . i called out your name . i mean you had to have known that i was looking for ... you made me believe that you were dead . thomas : i 'm sorry . hope : do you have any idea how horrified i was ? i came back here last night with douglas thinking that i had killed his father . thomas : okay . but you did n't . you did n't kill his father . okay ? i 'm here . i 'm alive . hope : thomas do you know how sick to my stomach i have been ? trying to wrap my brain , trying to figure out how i was gon na explain that to douglas . i mean he 's already lost one mother , but to lose his father too ? thomas : i know . i feel terrible and that 's why i , i came here . hope : i have been a wreck . i 've only been able to talk to my mother about everything . thomas : what ? you , you told brooke ? hope : yes , i told her . i told her the whole story . she , she thought you were dead too . but i , i just , i could n't , i have n't told anyone else . i , i wanted to , but i could n't because i was in shock and i did n't know what to do and i just ... i wish i had never pushed you . you were trying to kiss me and i did n't want that and i reacted . but i just say , i only was thinking about douglas . thomas : i know . hope : i never meant to hurt you . but you let me believe that you had died . how could you be so cruel ? thomas : i did n't mean to punish you , and hope , i did n't wan na scare you . i hate that i put you through that . to make you think that you had ended my life . but i had to make a point , even good people keep secrets . shauna : brooke wants to come talk to you ? ridge : yeah . she 's on her way now . shauna : well , i do n't think she 's gon na be happy to see me here . so maybe i should- ridge : do n't worry about that . it 's gon na take her a while to get here . shauna : and she knows something about thomas ? ridge : i , i do n't know . i hope so . shauna : i 'm sure he 's fine . a lot 's happened and maybe he just needed some space . ridge : space is good . but i know my son , you know , sometimes he likes to leave town when he makes a boneheaded move . shauna : do you think he regrets it ? ridge : i do n't know . maybe not yet , but he will . hope is in the middle of this now , and whatever he does , he has to do with her . and this is not all she wants , she wants full custody . that 's what she wants . i 'm not gon na let it happen . shauna : you 're cute when you get worked up . ridge : i 've been called a lot of things , cute is not one of them . shauna : all right , fine . you 're gorgeous , sexy , hands - on . ridge : i see now you 're making sense . shauna : ( laughs ) . ridge : i 'm not cute . shauna : and i can only imagine how handsome you 're gon na look in a tank top and i think- ridge : uh - uh ( negative ) , yeah , no , no one needs to see that . i 'm not going hiking with you . shauna : okay . then you need to go to the pool here and do some laps . i keep going out there hoping i 'm gon na see you because i can only imagine how cute you are in your swim trunks . hope : you wanted me to think you were dead ? thomas : it was a spur of the moment thing . i wanted you to see that anybody can feel the need to keep a secret . and i wanted you to try and understand what i went through when i kept the secret about beth . okay ? maybe you could see me in a new light . but i realize how , how traumatized you are . hope : you have no idea . thomas : hope , i did n't mean to put you through hell . okay ? but when , when i pulled myself out of that vat , and i saw that it could have been hydrofluoric acid , i realized something , that both of us , we 'd been given an opportunity . hope : opportunity ? thomas : i put you in an impossible situation . i know the kind of compassionate , loving , caring person you are , you would never hurt anyone , let alone kill them . hope : of course , i would n't thomas . thomas : but i 'm not naive and i am so sorry for what i put you through . okay ? i never should have put you in that position . i got way too carried away with , with sharing custody of douglas . but that , that , that 's so important to me , giving my son a mother that he loves , and showing you how much i love you . 'cause i do , hope . everything that i have done comes from my feelings for you . hope : thomas . thomas : look , and i know that it sounds crazy and sometimes i do n't do things right , my methods are wrong . okay ? but i , i hope it shows how much you mean to me . and i really hope that i mean something to you too . hope , you 've been a mother to douglas from the beginning , and he 's your son . he 's yours , and he 's mine . we 're his parents now . okay ? and , and we 'll never forget caroline . we 'll always remember her . but you are actually his mother . i gave you and douglas the , the gift that you 've wanted from the beginning , it 's the greatest gift that i could ever give . that should tell you everything . there 's no more doubt . now you know who i really am . | hope hugs thomas and starts babbling if he is all right . he assures her that he is . brooke and ridge separately think of each other but do not call . shauna comes in and interrupts . she said she just wanted to get out of the guest house for a while . actually she could have made an excuse but she really hoped she would see him . he seems pleased . she asks if there is anything he would like to talk about . he says he lost his son so maybe he has pushed it too far already trying to get his family together . and there is brooke . they can not find a compromise . she is there moving chess pieces around . he says he is not trying to make excuses for him . thomas was awful but he is trying to be better but they wo n't let him . brooke keeps hearing hope tell her the version where she pushed thomas and now he is gone . brooke picks up her phone again and tells herself she has to tell ridge the truth . hope cries she does not understand . she pushed him and when she returned to the vat it was empty . no more thomas . she babbles on and on how this could happen . it does not make sense . he says he is sorry . he should not have put her in that position . he was wrong to try to force her to see what he wanted her to see . he says he does not remember everything but he does remember coming to in the vat and hearing people say the acid had been removed and another cleaning solution was removing the damage . so if the acid was still there he would not be standing here with the most beautiful girl in the world . ridge explains that thomas gave away his rights , well at least full . they have shared custody , that is california law . the only information he has is from brooke and hope and that is not good . he has not heard from thomas and he knows he wants another shot at hope but they all know how she feels . |
brooke : why 'd you stop ? ridge : feels like you 're somewhere else . brooke : oh . i was hoping if i lit some candles and unplugged the phones and concentrated on my sexy husband , that i would n't think about all this other stuff . ridge : i do not want you being dragged into the middle of all my problems with thorne . brooke : oh , sweetie , the dragging happened a long time ago . i 'm a member of this family , so i am in the middle . in fact , when you went to check on r.j. , stephanie called me . ridge : i thought you turned off the phones . brooke : yeah , well i forgot my cell phone . ridge : what did the beast say ? brooke : she wants my help . with you and thorne .

eric : honey , i 'm questioning your judgment . you ca n't forget who this man is . bridget : i do n't even know who you are right now . where 's my father ? where 's the man i looked up to and respected my entire life ?

eric : yes . bridget : no , daddy . after tonight , i do n't know if i could ever trust you again . ridge : there 's something else you need to tell me ? brooke : it 's sally . she knows . ridge : about the foundry ?

sally : yes . the keys to my building . you know , spectra fashions ? i really want to get a moving crew in there first thing in the morning . brooke : well , that wo n't be necessary . i 'm not leaving . sally : i thought i made myself pretty clear about that earlier today . brooke : you did . sally : i want my company back . brooke : you ca n't have it back . sally : well , then i suggest that you call a moving company to come over here . because when i tell your husband about the night you spent with his brother , he 's gon na send you packing . where is he ?

deacon : look , so i lost control over my son 's stock in forrester . big deal . i got something so much more valuable . i got your confidence back in me . bridget : i wish my father had more confidence in me . he told me i was stupid for believing in you . deacon : hey . you 're not stupid . bridget : and you 're not dangerous . and my dad does n't get that . all he cares about is his stupid company . deacon : that 's not true . bridget : deacon , he set you up . and trust me when i tell you , he will do everything in his power to see your company fail . deacon : maybe . it 's got nothing to do with you . bridget : of course it does . i care about -- deacon : your father loves you very much . and he 's worried , and he 's got a right to be with my history . bridget : your history is exactly that . it 's history , the past . and for him to use that as an excuse for his own disgusting behavior -- deacon : do n't do that . bridget : why should n't i ? deacon : because he 's your father . bridget : he was arrogant and he was -- deacon : he 's your father . and i 'm never gon na stand between the two of you again . i 'm not that guy anymore . bridget : i know . i saw something in you when we got married . and i still see it . ridge : well , good evening , sally . what brings you by at this hour ?

[ sighs ] katie : what are we doing ? i had a lot of time to think about all kinds of things while i was away . i 've been accused of running away from my problems , which ... i do n't really get that , because you ca n't really run away from anything . you still have to wake up with yourself every morning , and , generally , you still have the same issues that you did the night before . but space does have a way of making things clearer . i made a promise to myself not long ago ... that i would n't change the way i love because of what happened with bill . we do n't know how long we 're gon na be here . but it does n't make any sense to love someone with only half your heart . i want to love with my whole self . i want to love with everything in me . and i need that in return . [ sighs ] we 've had a rough couple of months -- no doubt about that . maybe it is n't fair for me to expect you to give me all of yourself when you 've felt so incomplete . but that 's what i need . it 's what i want . the question is ... is it something you can do ? i need to know . do i have all of you ? katie : [ sighs ] you 're quiet . ridge : i 'm sorry . katie : i know . ridge : i 'm -- i mean i 'm sorry for everything . katie : [ sighs ] i kept this on my finger because , um , i did n't want to take it off out of anger or disappointment . it 's still a symbol of the commitment we made to each other . it 's still more valuable than any ring . ridge : i remember that day . katie : but ultimately ... it 's also just a ribbon ... and it can be untied . i love you . i really do . and i want our life together . i want it more than anything , but i need you . i need all of you -- not half , not 60 % , not 70 % , 80 % , 90 % -- all of you . or i have to untie this and take it off . ridge : do n't do that . katie : what we have is good . do n't throw it away . do n't throw me away . maya : ohh . [ chuckles ] so sweet . carter : word of advice ? maya : [ sighs ] if you must . carter : you 're getting way ahead of yourself , maya . do n't get too cocky . maya : i 'm not cocky . i 'm confident . rick loves me . he loves what i bring to his life , and we are gon na be amazing together . we already are . rick : i do n't expect it to happen overnight . our marriage has definitely taken a hit . caroline : you turned to maya . i wanted to work things out . rick : i could n't get the image of -- of you and ridge out of my head , and the more i thought about it , the more emotional -- it just beat me up . and i was -- i acted out . i was immature , and i was selfish . but i 've finally come to my senses . i 'm so sorry for the pain i 've caused you , caroline . caroline : i 'm sorry for hurting you . but it does n't change what you did . rick : are you saying that it 's too late ? caroline : i do n't know . i do n't know . [ door opens ] maya : there he is -- my man . rick : what 's up ? maya : `` what 's up , `` you say , as if this is just another ordinary day at the office instead of one of the most magnificent of your career . okay . something 's wrong . look , i - i know you 're upset that ridge and caroline 's line is so successful , but it just means more money for the company . seriously , baby . we are embarking on the golden age of forrester creations ... with you as head honcho and ... with me by your side . rick : my c.e.o . position is on the line . maya : what ? rick : it can happen any day now . maya : no , sweetie . no . you are doing incredibly well , and that preview today just proved it -- rave reviews and orders pouring in . rick : my dad knows that i tried to sabotage the line by making the prices too high . he 's accused me of letting my personal issues get in the way of what 's best for the company . he 's questioning my -- my position at forrester , my loyalty , and how i 've treated caroline . maya : what about the way she 's treated you ? rick : yeah , but my dad does n't see it that way . bottom line -- he 's given me an ultimatum . i can hang on to the c.e.o . position if -- and only if -- i reconcile with caroline . ridge : hey . how 'd it go ? caroline : i still ca n't believe the timing . i begged rick to not let this be the end of us . and i could n't get through to him . and then , out of the blue , he just comes in , and he 's asking for my forgiveness and wanting our marriage back , when i 've ... told you that ... ridge : do n't do that . that 's , um ... the important thing is that rick has realized that he 's about to throw away something -- something incredible . so , where do the two of you go from here ? caroline : what about you and katie ? where -- where do you go from here ? ridge : we 're gon na have the life that katie and i were planning . caroline : that 's what -- that 's what you -- you want ? ridge : [ sighs ] rick is your husband . caroline : i know . i know . but us ... ridge : there 's no us . this is goodbye . | caroline can not believe what she is hearing . rick says they have hurt each other enough . he needs her . he almost threw this away but if she believes her wedding vows at all , then they can make this work . ridge looks on . eric tells taylor that rick is acting like a two year old . ridge and caroline made a mistake but rick is making it worse . he meant every word that he will take away the ceo from rick if he does n't reunite with caroline . maya gloats to carter that she is head model and the showing was a huge success . she will keep her mind on the prize . katie comes in and overhears but shows her negativity on rick and maya living together and now maya flaunting it . despite that maya tells carter that rick is done with caroline so she is not concerned . rick tells ridge he would like some time alone with his wife and he takes her hand and leads her back to his office . he says he would not blame her if she gave up on him , but she says he gave up on them , not her . he says he can not give her up , he does not want to lose her . he is still hurting and he can only believe in time that he will get over that . he still loves her and wants her to let him try to mend this . katie goes to see ridge . she sees his face and he says bill 's fist met his face . she wants to know if they will be okay now . he says none of this is katie 's fault . she says while she was away , she has been accused of running away from her problems but she has had lots of time to think about the issues . no one knows how long they will be here on earth and no one should have to settle for half a heart . she has vowed to love with all of herself even though they have had a rough couple of months . she knows he felt so incomplete without drawing so the question is if this is something he can do . she needs all of him . she shows him her red ribbon and says she did not want to take it off out of disappointment . but it can be untied if she can not have 100 % of him . he tells her not to do that . she says what they have is good so do not throw her away . |

[ laughter ] stephanie : actually , i 've always wanted to learn how to knit . you think you could teach me how to make -- booties for the new baby ? samantha : sure . who would have imagined it ? stephanie : hey ! eric is not the only creative person in this group . samantha : no , i 'm talking about the baby . how you 've accepted all of that . stephanie : well , you 're right . a few months ago , i would have been ranting and raving that brooke was getting her clutches into ridge again . samantha : but not now . stephanie : he loves her . i love him . samantha : almost losing him was a real wake - up call . stephanie : yes , i promised myself that i would never let anyone come between us again . brooke : the kids are asleep . ridge : did you talk to katherine ? brooke : she said she 'd watch them until we get home . ridge : you sure you want to do this tonight ? brooke : ridge , sally could be on the way over there right now . and i want your mother to hear this from me . god knows what sally 's gon na make it sound like . ridge : brooke , i know you did n't cheat on me . brooke : let 's just hope your mother sees it that way . ridge : you know , we do n't have to justify ourselves to anyone . brooke : i know . i do n't expect your mom to forgive me the way you have . but if i do this right , then maybe it wo n't set us back too far . ridge : her acceptance is really important to you , is n't it ? brooke : yes . it means the world to me , that i do n't want to lose it . the look on her face and her disappointment , i really need to tell her the truth . ridge : well , you 're not gon na do it alone . i 'll be right beside you . darla : mm , mm , mm . thorne : so nothing 's wrong ? you 're okay ? darla : hmm - mm . i just thought you might be hungry . thorne : i was . thank you . darla : you 're welcome . why would you think something 's wrong ? thorne : oh , it 's been that kind of night . darla : it 's been a weird night for you , too , huh ? thorne : yeah . must be something in the air . darla : hmm -- i know there 's not a full moon outside , but you would n't know it by the way sally 's been howling . thorne : yeah ? dad , too . he and ridge have really got into it . darla : yeah ? about what ? thorne : about deacon . eric : come on . bridget : stop it . dad , stop it . deacon : eric , let her go . eric : you stay out of this . deacon : you ca n't just barge into my house like this . eric : honey , i 'm gon na take you home . bridget : no , you 're not . eric : he 's not worthy of you ! deacon : all right , that 's it ! eric , she 's an adult ! she can do what she wants ! eric : she does n't want you ! deacon : really ? why do n't you ask her about that ? eric : you bastard . you bastard ! bridget : dad -- dad ! dad ! deacon : get off !

[ darla sighs ] darla : yeah , if eric had n't have tricked him . you know , you say that deacon has n't changed , but the truth is , he 's trying , only nobody will let him . thorne : so we 're holding him back ? darla : well , you 've already made up your mind about him , that he 's a bad guy . nobody will give him the chance to be anything else . you know something , thorne , i know what that 's like . it 's frustrating as hell . [ darla sighs ] the kind of guy deacon is , he 's not gon na put up with it , you know ? i just hope eric does n't push him too far . eric : you 're not a danger to me . deacon : no . eric : why ? because you choose not to be ? deacon : because i do n't want to fight you . man , i came to you because i want to put an end to all this bitterness , this animosity . bridget 's moved on past it . why the hell ca n't you ? eric : because , unlike my daughter , i do n't have a blind spot where you 're concerned . bridget : yes , you do , daddy . you 're blind to anything you do n't understand or agree with . eric : i understand what 's going on here ! this man is manipulating you , and i 'm not gon na have it ! bridget : you do n't have to protect me . i can take care of myself ! eric : if that were true , bridget , you would n't be here . you would n't be in this room , in this man 's arms , in his bed ! my god ! where 's your self - respect ? where 's your pride ? deacon : eric , leave her alone . eric : i told you to stay out of this ! deacon : and i 'm telling you i want you out of here ! leave , now ! ! samantha : well , stephanie , i think pucci and i are going to say good night . brooke : thank you , samantha . stephanie : thanks for the knitting lesson . too be continued ? samantha : yeah . stephanie : okay . so ? ridge : this is important . stephanie : it 's nothing about the baby ? brooke : no . the baby 's fine . ridge : and so are we . stephanie : what is it ? ridge : mother , remember when i told you brooke was still having trouble with what happened in puerta vista ? stephanie : well , yes , it was a terrible ordeal for all of us . i mean , you know , eric and i tried to get her to leave to come home , and she would n't leave . she was so upset . brooke : i ran out of the hotel room and over to the foundry . stephanie : i remember . brooke : well , there 's something that i have to tell you that happened that night . stephanie : brooke , do you really want to go there ? i mean , look , you 're both here , you 're safe . everything is fine now . brooke : stephanie , it 's not over -- not yet . stephanie : i think you should go talk to a psychiatrist or a therapist , something . i mean , look , there 's nothing to be ashamed in doing that . did n't you and i both go together to the psychiatrist ? brooke : yes , but that 's not it . it 's not -- i mean , what i have to tell you , it is something that is very shameful . ridge : mother , we just -- we need to make sure that you understand brooke 's frame of mind at that point . stephanie : well , i do . i do . look , it was a horrific ordeal . i mean , she thought -- she thought you were burned alive . but , honey , there 's so much happiness here now . a new baby 's coming , and you just ca n't get yourself bogged down in those memories , brooke . you 've got to move on . brooke : yes . yes , i do . i do have to move on . ridge : and we will . brooke : but first , there 's something i have to tell you , stephanie . and you have to hear it from me . so please , just listen . brooke : you know i went to the foundry that night , and you know nick found me there . stephanie : well , he came to the room , and he told us that he knew where you were . brooke : but you do n't know what happened when he found me ? stephanie : no . he just told me later that you were distraught . ridge : she was . more than ever before . brooke : i had snapped . there was the flames , and i was looking into them , i saw ridge , and he was calling out to me . but there was nothing i could do . because he was gone . i never felt so alone . stephanie : but , honey , you 're not alone now . he 's here . ridge : mother -- just let her finish . brooke : so nick found me there , and he saw me standing in front of the furnace , and he thought that i was going to throw myself in . but , honestly , if he did n't show up when he did -- i do n't know . i do n't know what would have happened . ridge : sweetheart , go on . brooke : so nick just pulled me away , and iwas -- i just could n't -- i could n't breathe . i felt like my chest was really heavy and -- { brooke sighs ] stephanie : well , you were probably having an anxiety attack . brooke : yes . i mean , nothing made sense to me -- at all . everything that i dreamed about , and everything that i wanted in life -- it was gone . and i had nothing to hold on to . and nick was there . so we reached out to each other . stephanie : of course you did . brooke : something happened that night . something that never should have happened . it was a terrible , terrible mistake . stephanie : you did n't . darla : i do n't want to argue about deacon . thorne : i do n't either . i was just wondering -- darla : what ? thorne : well , when you said you knew how deacon felt , what did you mean ? darla : it 's not important . thorne : it is to me . darla : i just meant that it 's frustrating , you know ? when people think the worst of you . thorne : darla , people do n't think the worst of you . darla : i got pregnant , thorne . thorne : we got pregnant . it takes two . darla : people are just so easy to blame , you know ? your dad blames deacon . he does n't even know what deacon is like now . he does n't want to know . eric just wants him out of bridget 's life . thorne : well , my parents do n't feel that way about you . darla : well , they gave me a chance . why ca n't they do that for him ? throne : because he has n't earned it . but you -- you 're carrying the heir to the forrester throne . darla : yeah , well , your heir is getting really fussy here . i think he 's sick of chinese food . thorne : yeah ? the baby 's kicking ? darla : yeah , big time . if he keeps this up , i 'm not gon na get any sleep tonight . i think i 'm gon na go . thorne : i have a better idea . come home with me . darla : thank you , i 've got everything i need at home . i 'll be fine . thorne : i 'll have it packed up tomorrow and shipped over . darla : you 're serious . to your house ? thorne : to our house . darla : are you -- are you asking me to move in with you ? thorne : darla , the next time our baby keeps you up all night , i wan na be there . eric : honey , deacon is not your friend . i just -- i just do n't want you to make this same mistake again . bridget : daddy , it 's my life . let me live it . eric : bridget , you do n't belong here . you do n't belong here . look at him . i mean , look -- look at this . deacon : okay , okay , eric -- eric , just put that down . eric : now , what kind of a man needs a gun in his household ? think about this . deacon : eric , please -- eric : now , what does he need protection from ? deacon : put it down . i do n't even know if it 's loaded . bridget : be careful . eric : loaded -- a gun in your house ? in this house , where my grandson is , where my daughter is . a gun , right here . deacon : calm down . just calm down , and give it to me . eric : who -- who do you think you are ? turning my daughter against me ?

[ chuckles ] rick : are we done ? i would n't mind spending some time with my bride - to - be . eric : absolutely . i think the two of you 've earned it . go on . rick : all right . eric : so , i think that 's -- uh , that 's it , is n't it ? hope : no ! it 's not ! wait . okay , i just got this really good idea . as , you know , the groom 's sister , it is my responsibility to throw an engagement party , and i was thinking ... what better night than thanksgiving ? i mean , the whole family will already be together , and it 'll just give us more reason to celebrate . eric : it 's a good idea . pam : e - e - except for one thing . what about caroline 's uncle bill ? eric : you 're not thinking of inviting him , are you ? wyatt : i actually thought you heard me . bill : i did ! but that does n't change the facts , wyatt ! liam and hope were together before you decided that you wanted her , too ! wyatt : [ scoffs ] bill : and you need to respect your brother 's relationship . wyatt : we 're gon na have to disagree on that one . bill : i am asking you to back off . wyatt : let me ask you something . you fell in love with brooke , right ? bill : right . wyatt : you never saw it coming ? certainly did n't plan it . your wife 's sister . that 's complicated . but then there it was one day , full blown . did you back off then ? bill : obviously not . wyatt : are you backing off now ? bill : no . brooke : it feels like you 've taken a tentative step back to me , and i do n't want to blow it by pushing too hard . katie : [ sighs ] brooke : i know this rift between us was caused by something i did and it was all my fault . being with bill , it hurt you terribly . and also i put distance between you and donna , forcing her to keep my secret . i know there are n't enough `` i 'm sorrys , `` but it 's all i 've got , so i 'm gon na say it again . i 'm sorry . katie : i know you are . and i do n't want you to have to keep apologizing . i will take responsibility for my part in this mess . but there are some things that are unimaginable , like my sister and my husband . brooke : i do n't expect forgiveness and acceptance overnight . i 'm just asking for a chance to win it back . hope : yeah , i did n't really think about bill . the point is , the forresters and spencers are going to become extended family . and rick is marrying caroline . i ... eh , she should be able to have her uncle there . eric : i think you 're right . i do n't think we can exclude him . pam : unfortunately . hope : do you think you could send out a blast e - mail for me ? aly : on it . hope : thank you . all right . uh , speaking of , i 'm going to head over to the spencer office , see if i can convince my mom and katie to come , despite bill being there . but , you know , it 's what i want this party to be about . i want it to be about everyone coming together as a family despite our differences . eric : [ laughs ] good luck . hope : thank you . thorne : [ laughing ] yes . wyatt : it 's the same principle . you want brooke , and you 're not backing off . i want hope , and i 'm not , either . bill : i ca n't support it . wyatt : [ scoffs ] i 'm not asking you to . what i am asking you for is a little slack , some understanding of where i 'm coming from . bill : i understand ! how could i not understand ? you drew the parallel . it 's the same for me with brooke . once that fire caught , there was no putting it out . neither one of us wanted to hurt katie . you do n't know her very well . but she is a remarkable woman . she made me a better man . she might not agree with that right now , but it 's the truth . her goodness , her strength , her loyalty , the way she mothers my son . i 'll always care about her . i 'll always love her . but it does n't change the way i feel about brooke . donna : we 're not in the same place , but this is how we get there . by talking it through , by working it out , and remembering who we are . that the men in our lives , they 'll come and go , but we 'll always , always be sisters . brooke : [ sighs ] something i forgot . big time . donna : you made a mistake . and you 're trying to fix it . she is , katie . katie : [ sighs ] i know that . donna : you know , i think i owe you an apology , too , for my part in betraying you . katie : you were put in a terrible position . brooke : a position that i put you in . donna : no . no , you know , i - i could have gone to katie . i could have warned her . and if i had , who knows ? who knows ? maybe we would n't be here right now with this -- this terrible distance between us . maybe you and bill would n't have happened at all . katie : no , no , do n't put that on yourself . if brooke and bill wanted to be together , they would have found a way . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . brooke : no , no . it 's okay . we need to be completely honest with each other . donna was right . and you , especially . you 're the injured party . katie : well , bill lied to both of us , so i guess that 's one thing we have in common . brooke : i 'm sorry . katie : you do n't have to keep apologizing , brooke . i know you 're sorry . and i wish that i could just easily forgive you . i wish that i could be the person that i used to be , who just blindly trusted everyone she loved , so much so that i let bill weasel his way back into my life so he could betray me again . but that person has n't really worked out for me . and i do n't really know who i 'm left with . you 're my sister . and i love you . brooke : [ sighs ] katie : i love you . brooke : [ sniffles ] katie : but i need ... i need time . because just as you need time to earn my trust , i need time to ... to learn how to give it . brooke : yeah , i - i 'll give you time . i mean , i 'll be there waiting for as much time as you need . katie : i appreciate you coming here , what you 're trying to do . brooke : but i broke your trust . just know , katie . i 'm never gon na stop trying to get it back . katie : okay . fair enough . donna : you know , i - i feel like we made some progress here . [ knock on door ] hope : knock , knock . oh ! do n't move . i want to absorb this . all of the logan sisters in the same room . this is beautiful . [ laughter ] donna : it 's something that i 'm hoping will happen more often . hope : well , i am about to give you a reason . uh , so , thanksgiving is very soon . we 're going to have the usual dinner at eric 's , but this year , it will have a little twist . it is also going to be the engagement party for rick and caroline . donna : [ gasps ] brooke : [ gasps ] wow ! honey , that 's so sweet ! hope : yeah ! [ cell phone chimes ] brooke : invitations already ? that was fast ! wait . you 're not inviting bill , are you ? you ca n't possibly expect katie and me to celebrate thanksgiving dinner with bill . wyatt : how damaged are things with brooke ? i mean , can you fix it ? bill : i 'll fix it . i have to fix it . i 'm no good without her . wyatt : that 's a strong statement coming from a guy like you . bill : well , it 's the truth . there 's no sense in denying it . i need her in my life . i had her , and i blew it . i did n't take her bond with katie into account . i ... i did n't give it enough consideration . wyatt : what are you gon na do ? bill : whatever i have to to get her back . aly : what ? thorne : [ laughs ] nothing . i 'm just still getting used to seeing you around here all the time . eric : fits right in , does n't she ? no second thoughts about this change in direction ? aly : none . this feels right , you know , working in the family business and , uh , moving into the family home , spending more time with you guys . this party 's gon na be so great . i wish i could see the look on caroline 's face when she realizes that we 're celebrating her and rick . eric : it 's long overdue . thorne : yes , they did get lost in the shuffle , did n't they ? aly : we are about to make up for that . i have a feeling that caroline 's gon na be very happy . [ cell phone chimes ] caroline : oh , it 's from hope . rick : you better check it . something might be going on . caroline : [ sighs ] no . it 's about thanksgiving . oh , my goodness . rick : what ? caroline : hope is making thanksgiving dinner into a party celebrating our engagement . [ chuckles ] rick : looks like you 're about to be the bride . caroline : i ca n't believe she 's doing this . i mean , we have n't really made a big deal out of our wedding . rick : it is . it is . it is a big deal . look , i think about it all the time , what it would feel like when you 're my wife . i want that , caroline . i want to spend every day celebrating this -- this fascinating woman who 's just whirlwinded her way into my life . hope : i knew inviting bill would be controversial . and trust me , i really did not want to . but ... this is n't just about the forresters , because caroline is a spencer . her moms are n't in town . bill is the only family she has out here . i feel like we have to . brooke : it 's a nice gesture , honey , but i ca n't be in the same room as him . hope : do n't miss your son 's engagement party . look at it this way . we all have to face bill eventually , so you might as well just get it over with . then you can have a thanksgiving that you 'll never forget . donna : [ scoffs ] hope : katie , you have n't said anything . katie : i need to talk to brooke alone . donna : okay . [ door closes ] katie : you said that being sisters is more important than being with bill . brooke : i meant it . katie : you stood up for me when you switched those papers out with those leaves from aspen . you got me back my job , full custody of will . and i 'm grateful for that . do n't lose that resolve . do n't let him back into your life after what he 's done to us . promise me , brooke . promise me that you will never be involved with bill again . brooke : i promise . katie : [ sniffles ] i need to pick up will from daycare . brooke : okay , uh , what about thanksgiving ? katie : [ sighs ] i 'll think about it . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] brooke : i was so afraid i 'd lost you . bill : you 'll never lose me . i want you to remember that always . i love you , brooke . brooke : i love you . wyatt : dad ? you okay ? bill : i had a vision . running my company , living my life with brooke and will . it 's my future . and i will make it happen . wyatt : how ? bill : i have n't figured that out yet . but remember i said it . brooke will come back to me . she will be mine . | the forrester 's have a little meeting with eric , thorne , rick , caroline , hope , aly and pam . at the end , hope comes up with the idea that she wants to throw rick and caroline an engagement party on thanksgiving night since all the family will already be there . she wants them to all come together as one united family despite their differences . eric agrees , even bill will be invited since he is caroline 's uncle . katie tells adele to tell security not to let bill or alison back into the building . brooke and donna drop in on katie at the office . brooke apologizes again for being involved with bill . she needs her sister back in her life . as they both shed tears they agree that it will take time but they are sisters . katie says she will accept her part in this fiasco ; brooke does n't have to keep apologizing for it . men will come and go in their lives but sisters are forever . katie says she loves brooke , she really does . she wishes she could blindly trust her again the way she used to . she did it with bill . she let him weasel his way back into her life so he could betray her again . just as it will take time for brooke to earn katie 's trust , she needs time to learn how to give it . brooke tells her that she will be there waiting so take all the time she needs . hope drops in and wants to soak up that feeling of the three broken sisters all back together . then she gives them her invite to a combined thanksgiving and party for caroline and rick . all are happy about the occasion until brooke asks if bill is going be there . surely hope does n't expect her and katie to be there if bill is . hope says yes he will be there and they are going to see bill occasionally so they might as well get it over with . katie says she needs to talk to brooke alone . katie starts by saying that brooke said being sisters was more important than being with bill . brooke says yes she meant that . katie tells her that brooke stood up for her . she helped her when she switched the papers with the leaves from aspen . she got her back her job and full custody of will and she is grateful for that . she asks brooke not to lose that resolve . do not let bill back into her life after all he has done to them . she asks brooke to promise her that she will never be involved with bill again . brooke does . katie does n't give her the answer now about thanksgiving but says she will think about it . caroline and rick are relaxing and enjoying some fresh air outside when she gets hope 's e - mail about thanksgiving and a party for them . she 's touched since they have n't made a big deal abut the wedding yet . rick says it is a big deal and he wants to spend every day celebrating this fabulous woman who has walked into his life . |
ridge : this has to end . there 's no future for us . you know that , too . caroline : what if there was ? ridge : rick asked you to forgive him . and he wants you back , and that 's what you wanted all along . caroline : i do n't know what i want . ridge : who does ?

[ scene_break ] maya : so you are pretending to get back with caroline ? rick : so i can keep the c.e.o . position . everyone 's gon na have to think that we 're done and i 'm back together with caroline , that our marriage is intact . maya : for how long ? rick : until my dad retires or i have some sort of irrevocable control over the company . maya : that could be years down the road ! rick : but i 've got a plan . you 've got to trust me . maya : i do n't know how i feel about this . rick : i know . i know it 's a lot to ask , but just be patient . i want to run this company with you . and when we have that power , no one 's gon na be able to take it away from us . not my father and especially not ridge . maya : and what if it does n't work ? what if it backfires ? rick : that 's a chance i got to take . it 's our only option . maya : [ scoffs ] rick : i 'm gon na keep you on as lead model . maya : [ chuckles ] rick : maya , i need my team around me . i 'm gon na have to work harder than ever to fortify my position . maya : all while going home to caroline at night . rick : temporarily . maya : no . no ! rick : maya , we 'll still be together . that 's not gon na change . we will have to be careful . there 's gon na be eyes on us . maya : so we have to -- we have to live apart , sneak around , keep our relationship a secret ? rick : until the job is done , yeah . maya : yeah . no . rick : maya . maya , i need you . i really need you . maya : okay . rick : i do n't like it , either , but it 's necessary . you just got to trust me , okay ? i will take care of us . i 've just got to find a way to get caroline back . [ scene_break ] bill : i really did n't intend for it to go that far , but that glorified tailor pushed it . and , you know , i have trouble keeping my temper in check sometimes . katie : i know that . i 'm just a little surprised . i mean , i knew that you would be upset over caroline , but i guess i was n't expecting a beatdown . bill : you mess with my niece and the mother of my child , you 're gon na pay . katie : i think you 've made that clear . bill : you know , maybe i loosened a couple of teeth , but as far as really getting through to him , sending a message , i think he was just merely , uh , inconvenienced , late for his fashion show . katie : it was a preview , and it went very well , apparently . bill : thanks to caroline . he used her , he betrayed you , he treated brooke like garbage for years . i ... guess i 'm just missing what the appeal is . katie : careful . you 're kind of sweet when you 're protective . bill : well , you know , i can be ... sweet every now and again . katie : at least once or twice a year . bill : look , katie , i obviously realize that i am your ex - husband and probably the last person you want getting involved in your life , but ... i ca n't help it . i will always be protective over you . and not just because you 're the mother of my son . you 're an amazing woman . and i hope that loser realizes how lucky he is .

[ scene_break ] bill : so , where exactly do you stand with forrester ? katie : we 've talked . he 's apologized . he knows that what he did was wrong . bill : yeah , well , i would think so . he hurt you , katie . he betrayed you . he was making out with my niece , and yet you 're still wearing that ... freakin ' string on your finger . katie : [ sighs ] we 're trying to work things out . and for the record , i was prepared to take this off . bill : till forrester told you everything you wanted to hear . katie : he stopped me from untying it . bill : can we talk about that for a second ? who unties their engagement ring ? i mean , the guy 's got a couple of bucks , yet his fiancée is wearing a string on her finger . katie : it 's a ribbon , thank you very much . bill : uh , ribbon , string , twine , whatever . you deserve to have some serious bling on that finger , like , you know , 10 carats minimum . katie : well , maybe i 'm trying something different . i mean , you gave me lots of giant diamonds . look how that turned out . bill : and you loved all those giant diamonds . do n't kid yourself . we had something very special for a while , katie . katie : yeah , we did for a while . bill : and we made a very handsome , charming kid together . katie : we did do that . that is correct . bill : and now you 've moved on with that bozo forrester . i look at you , katie . and i just wish you were happier . katie : ridge and i are gon na be fine . we just ... have to get over this hurdle . bill : you know , people are going to let you down in life . i did . and the fact is that you deserve the perfect white knight . but he does n't exist . i 'm sorry ridge disappointed you . but i 'm not surprised .

[ laughter ] eric : brooke and i worked really hard on this seating arrangement , so here 's how you play . you turn to the person on your right and you say something appreciative to them . and we 'll go right around the table . thomas , i 'm very glad you 're back , not just for the company and for the family and keep us all in line , but mostly for your father . i know how much it means for him to have you and steffy together . i 'm glad you 're back . thomas : thanks , granddad . uh , well , it feels great to be back . um , you know , our lives are filled with special moments and days like today , and a very special day is coming for you . and i ca n't think of anything more beautiful than two people bringing a child into the world . you are gon na be an amazing mother . and the two of you , fabulous parents . caroline : thank you . [ chuckles ] eric mentioned celebrating traditions . i look around this table and i see that the traditional family is evolving . there 's all different types of families . i grew up with two moms . but love , loyalty , and how you face things together , that 's what makes a family . and that 's what we 're doing . you are going to make an amazing father to our child . ridge : hi . steffy : hi . ridge : steffy . my fierce , little daughter . you 're independent , you 're opinionated , and you 're cutthroat , and you love very deeply . and i 'm happy for both you guys . i really am . you take care of her , 'cause otherwise she 'll tell you . liam : yeah . steffy : i will .

[ chuckles ] i do n't know you very well , but i can tell by your two lovely daughters that you must be a wonderful and devoted mother . and i 'm so happy that you 're here for our celebration . vivienne : thank you , katie . julius , i know you know i have n't always agreed to everything you 've done for the good of the family . but i am so grateful for your willingness to move to los angeles so that we could be closer to our children ... and bring this family together again . julius : thank you , vivienne . maya . my ... daughter . julius : been a long time since i 've had my whole family together for thanksgiving , to have both of my daughters here and that they actually want me here . i do n't know why . [ laughter ] julius : i 'm just grateful . and you , too , rick . you guys want to make me a grandfather , huh ? i think you 're crazy . but maybe we can , i do n't know , all be crazy together . [ laughter ] maya : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm happy you 're here . i do n't think i 'll ever forget some of the hurtful things that you said to me in this house , but i will always remember hearing you say you love me . i ca n't remember ever hearing that before . you say that you 're willing to try and accept me . if you mean it ... julius : i 'm trying . and i do love you . maya : [ chuckles ] i know . i know . this ... this is my family . you 've welcomed me with open arms , and what my sister is doing for me , i have never experienced an act of love like that . except from this man .

[ laughter ] rick : zende . can i just say how grateful i am ? the love and the support that you give nicole every step of the way while she gives maya and me the greatest gift that we never thought possible ... thank you . zende : of course . um ... although i 'd say you 're the greatest gift to me , i 'm really impressed with what you 're doing for rick and maya . i ca n't even begin to imagine making a life - changing decision like that . but you did . that 's how you live life . a life that i hope to be a part of for a very , very long time . i love you , nicole . nicole : charlie , what can i say ? you protect us , you inform us , but most of all , you make us laugh . [ chuckles ] thanks for being good people . charlie : i made you laugh ? [ laughter ] charlie : speaking of good people , pam douglas , my pumpkin pie , i do n't need a special day to give thanks . not that i 'm not an american . i like old glory -- love old glory -- and all of the traditions . but my glory and my life right now is being with my sweet pam . pam : thank you . deacon . i 'm thankful that you 're in quinn 's life , making her feel so loved and ... keeping her in check . look , i even left a butter knife at her place . [ laughter ] pam : and for that , that just proves how much good you 've done for her . deacon : thank you , i think . pam : [ laughs ] deacon : quinn , you are stubborn and vindictive and frustratingly right -- quinn : i do n't think you understand the way this game plays . deacon : but what i want to say is that the last thing that i would ever want is a boring marriage , so i 'm thankful for everything , especially you . quinn : [ chuckles ] oh . wyatt : oh . quinn : you . wyatt : [ chuckles ] quinn : oh , we have been through so much . wyatt : yeah . quinn : i mean , do you remember that year that i tried to flash - cook the turkey in the kiln ? wyatt : oh , it was a terrible idea . quinn : it was a terrible , terrible idea . [ both laugh ] quinn : but , um , you have been brilliant at such a young age . i could n't be more proud . wyatt : thanks , mom . quinn : [ chuckles ] wyatt : [ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] you , lady , are relentless , whether it 's with your principles or your family or your work . we 've had our bouts of being the underdogs , but you never give up . and i hope you never give up on me , because i will never give up on you . i love you . ivy : brooke logan . the legend and the myth , everybody . [ laughter ] ivy : you -- you fill the halls at work with such compassion and kindness . you have this amazing ability to , uh , to sort of know everything , but it 's not in a gossipy kind of way . i think it -- [ chuckles ] it really comes from your desire to help everybody out and make sure -- make sure we 're all okay . brooke : thank you . that 's really sweet . and lastly , eric . simply put , we are all here because of you . you 're the leader of this family . you 're the foundation . if there 's one thing we should be thankful for each and every year , it 's you . so ... hip - hip ! all : hooray ! brooke : hip - hip ! all : hooray ! brooke : hip - hip ! all : hooray ! eric : okay , okay . thank you , thank you . and thank you all for participating in this most - important forrester tradition . you all did very well . [ all chuckle ] eric : i think the oldest tradition is probably , uh , love and commitment and , uh , respect for one another . this family has evolved , as has the human race . i can think of no better time for me to be alive and sitting right here at this table right now today with all of you , looking into your wonderful faces . happy thanksgiving . all : happy thanksgiving ! eric : cheers , everyone . stuffing down here , please . [ laughter ] eric : let it all go up in flames i 'm gon na love you love you be here now love you like it 's the end of the world as the sky 's falling down i 'm gon na hold you hold you let it burn hold you as long as | it 's thanksgiving day ...... eric walks around his house and says happy thanksgiving to his love , stephanie . he thinks she would be so proud . brooke tells him the places are all set . and pam is screaming in the kitchen for all to get out , charlie needs to baste the turkey . caroline and ridge come in and she wants to take a selfie . thomas takes her phone and says he will do the honors which makes ridge a little testy . she tells him not to start anything as it will get better soon . thomas and zende get a little rambunctious and breaks something throwing the football , so they are promptly demoted to outside for time being where the spencers and forresters will duel . quinn drops by her famous yam casserole and insists on sticking a spoonful in darling wyatt 's mouth . ivy notices steffy 's ring and compliments her on it , but she and liam have set no date yet . |
shauna : i know everyone complains about traffic in l.a. , but tonight i would not mind if there was a lot of it . ridge : because obviously you 're not in a hurry to go anywhere . shauna : [ sighs ] if it took brooke a little extra time to get here i 'd be okay with it . ridge : uh - huh . she could be here any minute . shauna : well , then i 'd better go . i would n't wan na get caught sneaking through the courtyards at the guest house , 'cause that 's where i 'll be in case you 're wondering . ridge : [ chuckles ] shauna : although i would not remind brooke of that . ridge : no . shauna : seriously , i do n't wan na cause any more tension between you two . ridge : and i appreciate that . shauna : i know things are complicated enough . ridge : i just want some answers . i wan na know what 's going on with my son . thomas : you 're still in shock , and i can see it . but you got ta admit , i look pretty good for a ghost . hope : thomas , you let me believe that you were dead . charlie told me it was hydrofluoric acid . thomas : it wasn't . it was a cleaning solution , okay ? and he must have not known the crew 's timeline . i was lucky . hope : thomas , i was in hell . i thought i was going to lose everything . thomas : i 'm sorry . i just -- i wanted you to see -- hope : what ? the real you ? how much you care ? thomas : look , i 've made a lot of mistakes , but i 'm not a bad person . sometimes i go too far , but it 's only 'cause i love you so much . shauna : do you really think that there 's anything brooke could say about thomas that you 'd wan na hear ? ridge : no , probably not . shauna : i 'm really sorry that things are so difficult for you right now . i think your commitment to thomas is really beautiful , though . thomas : that did n't come out right . look , i 'm not trying to make you uncomfortable . i just ... i 'm trying to tell you how i feel . and i did n't know how you felt about me . but the way you reacted when you saw me ... hope : i would never want anything bad to happen to you , for douglas to mourn the loss of another parent ? i was horrified by what i did even though it was an accident . thomas : i was n't trying to torture you . i just -- i wanted you to see that good people sometimes do bad things . hope : so you did this to teach me a lesson ? thomas : i did this so you could understand how i felt when i did n't tell the truth about beth . the guilt that i felt , and i - i - i knew that i should 've -- how should i have reacted ? i should have told the truth . right ? but then i thought about how it would have affected other people and then i - i - i felt paralyzed . hope : like the words would n't come out . thomas : yes . yes , and now you can see how someone would do that -- even someone like you . [ knock on door ] brooke : honey ? i put douglas to bed . oh , my god . thomas ? thomas : yes , brooke . i 'm alive . ridge : i do n't think i 'd ever deny that my son 's made mistakes . shauna : and you have n't turned your back on him . ridge : i can't . shauna : you 're a devoted father . i admire that . ridge : well , brooke feels i should n't be defending him . shauna : well , i feel it 's one of your most attractive qualities . ridge : oh , thank you . shauna : you 're welcome . ridge : and this may sound weird , but ... brooke and i -- we 're on the same page with this . we -- we both defend our kids till the end . shauna : mm - hmm . ridge : that was never the problem . shauna : and the situation with thomas is different ? ridge : i do n't know . maybe it 's me . maybe i 'm different , you know ? 'cause my kids said , `` you always put brooke first . always , before our mom , even before us sometimes , `` and i do n't know . maybe i never really saw it that way , but -- but now ... um ... shauna : brooke forced you to choose . ridge : i 'm trying to think when this started . it was ... this -- this whole thing with douglas . brooke said it 'd be a good idea for him to live with hope and liam for a while . it 's temporary , and i thought that was a good idea . but hope and brooke -- they never thought of this as temporary , ever . why -- why would thomas sign those papers ? why did n't he come to me ? shauna : i do n't know . i 'm sure if there 's a way to undo it , you 'll fix it . you 're kind of magical like that . ridge : [ laughs ] oh . okay . well ... magic or not , thomas is not gon na lose custody of his little boy . thomas : you never thought you 'd see me again , huh , brooke ? hope : it 's okay , mom . thomas is fine . brooke : how ? thomas : how am i alive ? brooke : you fell in the acid , and hope was looking for you . we thought you had ... thomas : been melted away ? dissolved by the acid ? well , i would 've been if it had been acid . brooke : but it wasn't . hope : no . thomas : it was a high - powered cleaning solution . i heard some of the crew guys talking about it when i got out of there , but apparently , i did n't miss the real stuff by too much . brooke : [ gasps ] thank god . i ca n't believe this . i am so relieved . thomas : you really mean that ? brooke : yes . yes , i mean that , thomas . i know that we have n't had the best relationship for some years , but i do n't wish any harm to come to you . thomas : you thought i was dead . brooke : and it broke my heart imagining what your father would feel if he were to find out . thomas : you were with him . why did n't you tell him ? brooke : well , i was going to . thomas : but you kept it a secret . hope : oh , she was afraid for me , thomas . brooke : hope had so much guilt . you had to know what this was doing to her . where were you if you were n't hurt ? you did n't want hope to ... to think that you were dead ? thomas : hope knows i did that to , uh , to prove a point . brooke : [ gasps ] thomas : sometimes people make terrible choices , decisions that -- that they regret . they keep secrets instead of telling the truth , and i know all about how that feels . and now so do you . brooke : we were n't gon na keep this a secret . i mean , i was going to tell ridge . thomas : you should do that . you should tell him everything . i mean , unless you 'd rather him hear it from me first . okay , look , brooke , you deserve the opportunity to tell him your side of the story . you thought that hope was responsible for my death , and so you were protecting her . and he 'll understand that . i mean , that 's exactly what he 's been doing for me . i also hope that you 'll understand more why i kept the secret about beth . the secret really changed things ... for all of us . brooke : well , i think that you should go with me , thomas . your dad really wanted to see you . thomas : i 'll be there soon . hope : i 'll be fine ... mom . brooke : honey . hope : no , it 's okay , really . brooke : i 'll be back soon . thomas : your , uh ... your mom thought i was ... threatening her , but i wasn't . please tell me that ... you -- you 're starting to see me differently now . it was in this small little village- shauna : thomas and douglas are gon na be okay . you 're gon na help them get through this . ridge : i urged thomas over and over again not to sign those papers . so did steffy . shauna : well , when you figure it out , i 'm sure you 'll fix it . ridge : i will use my magic . why not ? shauna : [ chuckles ] yes , you will . and if it gets too stressful and lonely , then i 'll use some of my magic . i am really good at pep talks and backrubs . ridge : [ chuckles ] well , if , uh , if i ever need a ... pep talk , i 'll know who to ask . shauna : okay , well , good . i - i do n't wan na get in the middle of anything . i just want you to know that i am here for you . ridge : i know that . thank you . shauna : and if you do want a backrub , you know where to find me . [ chuckles ] ridge : [ sighs ] [ footsteps depart ] [ door closes ] hope : thomas , this whole situation ... thomas : you do n't have to explain . i know exactly what you 've been going through . hope : well , then if you knew , how could you keep me in the dark like that ? i was terrified that i was going to lose my daughter , i mean , my future , my whole life . thomas : is n't that what you did to me ? you and brooke -- you wanted me to go to jail . you wanted to take my son away from me . look , i 've been living under that shadow for months , and -- and -- and i did n't wan na put you through that . i just -- i stayed away one night . hope : it was one of the most awful nights of my life . thomas : i 've had nights like that -- plenty of 'em , laying there in bed , thinking about how awful everything i did was , like ... but if i came forward , i would have lost everything , including the woman that i loved . and i just thought maybe if you 'd felt just a teeny bit of the torment that i felt , that it would put a new perspective on things . hope : i wanted to go to ridge or the police . thomas : i would n't have let you . i love you . hope : [ whispers ] thomas -- thomas : look , i do n't wan na hurt you . i just want you to see that we are n't so different . look , i am not the monster that your mother says i am . i 'm not some horrible person , okay ? i felt guilt and shame for everything that i did . and when the truth came out , it drove you away . and i did n't handle any of that the way that i should 've . that happens , even to the best of us . look , i ... i have made so many bad choices , and maybe letting you think that i was dead -- maybe that 's one of 'em . okay ? or maybe ... it opens your eyes . and ... if it has ... then maybe ... there 's a chance you can forgive me . [ door opens ] ridge : hey . [ door closes ] did you hit traffic ? brooke : sorry . i got caught up at the house . ridge : so ... what is this thing about thomas ? brooke : uh , i know you 've been worried about him . ridge : yeah , i ca n't get in touch with him . brooke : he 's fine . ridge : how do you know he 's fine ? brooke : i just saw him . he 's with hope . ridge : but he 's not calling me back . what is -- what do ... [ sighs ] i do n't wan na fight with you , but please , can you just be honest with me ? what 's going on ? brooke : you 're right , ridge . hope did wan na tell you more , and i stopped her just to give her some time . but she wants you to know ... ridge : what ? brooke : i know this sounds crazy . but she really did think that thomas was dead . [ violin music ] ridge : dead ? what do you mean , hope thought that thomas was dead ? brooke : she thought she killed him . hope , thomas , and douglas were at the office . thomas told her to bring over the custody papers . he was really pressuring her . ridge : i know all that . brooke : let me just finish . hope went to look for douglas 'cause thomas put him away somewhere in a room , somewhere in forrester while he continued to chase hope around the building , trying to come on to her , trying to kiss her . he had her cornered , so she pushed him off the catwalk in something that looked like a vat of water . ridge : into the acid ? he fell in the acid ? where is he ? is he ... brooke : no , no . ridge : ... in the hospital or -- brooke : it was n't the acid . it turned out to be some kind of heavy - duty cleansing fluid , and hope did n't see all the signs that were posted around there . so she ran out to try to find douglas . ridge : where -- where is he ? where 's thomas ? brooke : he 's at the house . ridge , wait , please . let me finish explaining everything . so hope went to get douglas , and then they ran into charlie , and charlie told them do n't go anywhere near the storage area because it had that dangerous acid in there . he did n't know that the hazmat crew had come and cleaned it out . but hope panicked , and she ran in there , yelled and screamed for thomas and looked for him , but obviously she thought that she killed him . ridge : all right , if hope thought that thomas had fallen in , charlie would have called 9 - 1 - 1 . she did n't tell him . brooke : she did n't know what to do . she came home with douglas , and i helped her put douglas to bed , and she was in shock , ridge . i did n't know what to tell her . and then you came over today , and -- ridge : and ... you thought my son was dead , and you did n't tell me . brooke : well , yeah , but he was n't dead . i mean , he was fine . i was so relieved , and so was hope . and he told us what happened with the cleaning fluid and everything . ridge : i came to you , and i asked you if you knew where my son was , and the only thing you told me was that he tried to trade custody for his son for sex with hope . you -- you did n't say anything about your daughter having killed him . for 24 hours , you and hope thought that my son was gone , and you did n't tell me . you 're my wife ... the woman i 've loved for as long as i can remember . you did n't tell me . how is that possible ? hope : you want me to forgive you because you think we 're the same . thomas : no , we 're not the same . i mean , yeah , we both kept secrets , but i did the thing i 'm ashamed of . you didn't . i kept the secret . i kept beth from you . no one 's gon na show up and tell me that did n't happen . and the only way that i 'm ever gon na feel any relief is if you forgive me , and i 'm not saying that you should , but i hate this feeling of -- of thinking that i destroyed everything . i destroyed my relationship with you and with douglas . now everyone helps me , and , look , i do n't blame them . i do n't blame them for how they feel . i do n't blame you for -- for wanting me gone . hope : i pushed you away because i was afraid , thomas . thomas : you were n't in danger , hope , and neither was douglas . i - i signed the custody papers , and i did what you wanted . hope : you signed the custody papers , but you wanted something in return . thomas : and that was wrong of me . but i 'm gon na keep my word . hope : what ? thomas : you can file the documents . i 'm not gon na dispute them . hope : so you 're letting me adopt douglas ? you 're ... you 're giving me shared custody ? thomas : nothing would make my little boy happier than to have you as his mom if that 's what you want . hope : it is . thomas : maybe we could start over ... for douglas ... since i 'm not dead ? hope : thankfully . thomas : for both of us . look , i know this is , uh ... it 's a really weird way for two people to become parents , but ... i kept one child away from you . and i 'm never gon na do that again . douglas needs you , hope , every bit as much as i do . . . . | hope is still shocked to see thomas is still alive . she tells him that she was in hell , thinking that she 'd killed him . he assures her that he only fell into a vat of cleaning solution . thomas confesses that he pretended to be dead so that she could see good people sometimes do bad things . she 's horrifed that he manipulated her yet again , but she realizes that she does understand now , a little bit of what he was feeling when he kept the secret about beth . brooke comes in and is astonished to learn that thomas is alive . thomas is surprised that she 's so relieved . brooke gets a little annoyed that he 's comparing their keeping this secret to the one he 's kept for months . she lets him know that she was planning to tell ridge what happens . he urges her to go tell ridge now what 's happened . brooke thinks thomas should go with her ( because she does n't want him alone with hope ) , but hope assures her that she 's fine . after brooke leaves , thomas tells hope that he hopes she can forgive him now that she knows a little bit about what he went through . he assures her that their custody agreement is still intact and that she can file them . |

[ laughs ] awesome ! thank you . rick : anybody need a refill ? it 's good stuff . ridge : sure . rick : happy thanksgiving . ridge : thank you . same to you . so , what are we doing ? we 're putting all our differences behind us today ? rick : today and onward . yeah , we need to find a way to work together . i 'm c.e.o . you 're head designer . i 'd like to get along , ridge . [ glasses clink ] quinn : hi ! hope : oh , my god . no . no , no , no . what are you doing here ? quinn : happy thanksgiving . i - i brought yams . they 're wyatt 's favorite . hope : you are not invited . quinn : on this of all holidays , one -- one that 's about forgiveness and being thankful and putting aside our differences ? come on . there 's no room at the table for your baby 's grandmother ? quinn : ca n't you think of somebody else for a change ? hope : i am thinking about protecting my child ! [ door opens ] quinn : you 're showing . liam : everything okay out here ? hope : uh , well ... quinn needs a little help remembering that she 's not wanted . quinn : what the hell is that ? liam : oh , this ? new necklace . ivy made it for me . quinn : does that mean you 're going steady now ? liam : leave . now . quinn : [ scoffs ] do n't talk to me that way . liam : okay , all right . i guess you 're getting thrown out . that 's fine . quinn : oh , please . just keep your clothes on . i 'm leaving . liam : [ sighs ] rick : bonjour , fabrice . yeah , could you hold a second ? caroline : make it quick ? rick : you there ? maya : bonjour ? rick : i did n't want caroline to know that i was talking to myrna . maya : well , i should be there , not her . rick : if i 'm not with caroline , my dad -- my dad 's gon na strip me of c.e.o . i have to play the game . it sucks . but do n't worry . i 'll make sure that -- that you have all we talked about and more . maya : i 'm gon na hold you to that . au revoir , mon amor . aly : are you kidding me ? an epic kiss on a boat in amsterdam riding along the canals ? ivy : and to make it even better , he used the `` l `` word . aly : [ chuckles ] oliver : we are t - minus five minutes until dinner . i 'm under strict orders to get everybody in their seats . ridge : oh . caroline : oh , god . [ chuckles ] ridge : my fault . have n't had a chance to wish you a happy thanksgiving , so ... happy thanksgiving . caroline : yeah , we -- we keep missing each other . happy thanksgiving to you , too . [ chuckles ] pam : so , um , caroline , are you gon na be having white meat or dark meat ? caroline : um , i 'll do a little bit of both . pam : a little of both ? caroline : yeah . pam : and , uh , rick , how about you ? rick : actually , i prefer dark . eric : uh , everybody , if you will , please . uh , before we start , um , i 'd like to make a little toast before we dig in . thanksgiving is an extra special celebration for this family , because starting last year , well , it became a celebration of commitment , as well . rick and caroline had , during their first year , like any newlywed couple , a few challenges , but they have persevered . and so , i would ask everybody to raise their glasses and join me in saying happy first anniversary . all : happy anniversary . [ glasses clink ] eric : and i want to thank hope for helping me plan this whole thing today . once again this year , she 's assigned all the seats , so , uh ... hope : yes , i did . [ chuckles ] uh , this is quickly becoming a tradition in the forrester house . and for those of you who hate it , tough . we 're doing it again . [ laughs ] i look forward to this every year . it 's a time for us to come together and really appreciate one another . the first thanksgiving was about the pilgrims and the native americans coming together to share the harvest of the season . this really is no different . we are coming together in the spirit of cooperation and the ability to learn from one another . and if you do n't like speaking in front of people -- i know it can be hard sometimes , so just say a little something nice from your heart to the person on your right . to prove that i am not playing favorites this year , let 's do it . [ clears throat ] okay . bill . you are my father - in - law , and you 're the grandfather to my child . and you have helped to create two really wonderful men who are very important to me . and will be all my life . bill : well , i 'm glad you 're sitting next to me , 'cause that means i do n't have to lie . katie : [ chuckles ] bill : you are an amazing mother to will , and when i see you with him , it -- it warms my heart . you have pushed me to be a better man , and now you pushed me to be a better father . and i hope that from time to time , you can see through my b.s . and know how much i appreciate you . katie : i do . well , um ... [ clears throat ] what a difference a year makes . last year , i was not a very happy girl . but then you came back from paris , and you changed all that . i 'm really glad you came back . i 'm really grateful you came home . ridge : caroline , um ... there 's a lot of things to be thankful for . you pulled me through a very dark time in my life , and i will always be grateful . caroline : [ clears throat ] my husband , the c.e.o . i ca n't wait to see where you lead forrester in the years to come , and i am very thankful to be by your side for it . happy anniversary . rick : happy anniversary . well , what 's not to like about charlie ? [ laughter ] you keep us safe at work , keep us well - fed , you keep a smile on pam 's face . we are eternally grateful for that . you 're really a great man , charlie . charlie : thank you . pam douglas , you fascinate me . so alluring and pearls at the office , so sexy in an apron in the kitchen . and so elegant in a medieval gown . you are perfect . and i want to thank you for making me the happiest security guard in the whole wide world . pam : eric ... i used to hate thanksgiving when it was just mother and me in that condo all alone . the only conversation was her complaining about the weather or criticizing my gravy . eric : [ chuckles ] pam : i used to imagine you and stephanie out here in los angeles , thanksgiving table full of laughter . and now i 'm here . [ chuckles ] because of you , eric . you gave me a job , you gave me a family . you rescued me . eric : i love you , pam . donna , you 're so special to me . i 'm so happy we 've -- we 've remained close . you bring me laughter and happiness , and i 'm so grateful that you loved me for a while . donna : forever . eric : now , if -- if we can all join hands , please . [ chuckles ] thank you . traditions like this are very important to families . stephanie would have loved this . and she 's not with us anymore , but i 'm sure she 's listening in to all these wonderful words of admiration . thank you all for being here with me today and keeping this tradition alive . to our friends and family far and near ... happy thanksgiving . all : happy thanksgiving . donna : carter , getting to know you has been such a treat . the stories that you tell me about growing up with marcus . carter : [ chuckles ] donna : thank you for being my son 's brother and thank you for always making him feel like he belonged . i have so much respect for you and so much respect for your parents . thank you for that . carter : oliver jones . [ laughter ] you are , like , the friendliest guy i know , always smiling . it 's hard to be in a bad mood around you , man . see ? look . look , it 's contagious . oliver : it 's easy when you have something to smile about . aly , you amaze me . you 're beautiful and wise . you 're like no girl i 've ever met . you hear that , darla ? aly : [ chuckles ] she does . ivy . [ chuckles ] i feel so lucky to have you here . first of all because your jewelry is awesome and i 'm happy to benefit . [ chuckles ] but more importantly because you 've become such a good friend . with your parents in australia and my dad in paris , we 're just two forrester girls taking care of each other . ivy : mm - hmm . aly : and i know you miss home . but i would n't want you anywhere else . i love you , cousin . [ chuckles ] ivy : thanks . aly : [ chuckles ] ivy : liam . [ chuckles ] uh , look , when -- when i moved here to l.a. , i did n't see my life involving anything other than work . but then i met you . i 'm so thankful for who you are , but especially how you maneuver a boat in the canals of amsterdam . [ chuckles ] liam : [ laughs ] ivy : and just finding our way together , and i love the sense of excitement i get when i think about what lies ahead for us . liam : thank you . ooh . wyatt . um ... if there 's one thing i admire about you , it 's your ambition . i mean , you -- you came to town , you proved yourself at forrester not with one jewelry line , but two . everything that you seek out , you accomplish . and now you have a baby on the way . happy thanksgiving , bro . wyatt : thank you . [ chuckles ] last year was my first thanksgiving with my father . and you brought us together . you basically gave me my dad . and now a year later ... you 're giving me a child . and i - i do n't even know how to wrap my brain around that . [ both laugh ] wyatt : you know , about having this family and -- and about all this . and it 's all because of you . that leap of faith . hope : hmm . we did it . [ laughter ] thank you , guys . eric : cheers . [ glasses clink ] [ applause ] [ chatter ] liam : well , you did it again . hope : yeah ? what 's that ? liam : oh , you know what i mean . bringing all these relationships to one table , having us all come together in the spirit of forgiveness and thanks , what the holiday represents . i , uh ... [ chuckles ] i remember what you said last year . you said that things have changed between us , and that 's true . they -- they have . hope : yeah . liam : even more so now . um ... i 'll tell you one thing that has n't changed , that wo n't change , and that 's how much i respect you and admire you , and , yes , love you . i guess i 'm -- i 'm just -- i 'm just saying that ... there 's not a day that goes by where i 'm not giving thanks for having you in my life . [ chuckles ] | the thanksgiving festivities are at eric 's again this year with hope hosting again . eric is glad that rick brought caroline and they are back together . will is sleeping and wyatt reminds them this time next year there will be another baby and they wo n't be getting much sleep . pam and charlie are in command of the kitchen duties although donna comes in and offers her help . they look a little nervous but pitch her an apron and they give her a few duties . the kicker is when quinn shows up and hope answers the door and pushes her out . quinn came bearing yams which is wyatt 's favorite . she ca n't believe hope could be this way on this day of thanks and forgiveness . liam happens by and has to insist quinn leave . rick gets a phone call from maya disguised as a french man so caroline leaves him alone for the call . maya says she should be there , not caroline . rick tells her not to worry . he will make sure they have all they talked about and more but he has to do this to stay ceo . aly is delighted to hear ivy 's news about the trip to amsterdam and that liam even used the l word . oliver tells everyone to gather and the meal will be ready in five minutes . caroline and ridge literally run into each other and wish each other a happy thanksgiving . |
thomas : i heard you 've been looking for me . steffy : [ gasps ] thomas , jeez . thomas : did n't wan na ring the doorbell and wake my beautiful niece . how are ya ? steffy : where have you been ? thomas : you have concern for me . that 's ... that 's sweet . i 'm actually hungry . do you mind if i grab -- steffy : no , no , answer my question . thomas : [ sighs ] okay . i was with hope . steffy : you were with hope . last night ? thomas : well , just now . it was ... very revealing . steffy : what was ? is hope all right ? thomas : why would n't she be ? steffy : i 'm worried you 're becoming obsessed with her . thomas : do n't be , okay ? look , i am confident that hope is seeing me differently now . ridge : you and hope were standing in your living room thinking that thomas was dead , thinking that hope had pushed him into a vat of acid and that he disappeared . so how could you look at me and not tell me what you thought was the truth ? what was your plan ? what did you think was gon na happen ? i was gon na just walk through my life , wondering where my son was , wondering if he was dead or alive ? he 's just lost out there ? you should have been honest with me . you owed me that . you owed my son that . steffy : what does that mean , hope 's seeing you differently now ? thomas : well , i have something important to tell you , and it 's actually pretty incredible . steffy : okay ... thomas : i 'll answer all your questions , why i went missing and where i was , but more importantly how hope finally knows what it 's like to keep a dark secret . [ crickets chirping ] brooke : ridge , i know how it seems , but you have to believe me . hope and i were going to tell the truth , and it all happened so fast . ridge : hmm . brooke : we just needed some time to think . we had to calm down . we were reeling from what happened , especially hope . ridge : yeah , but you did find time to tell me that after thomas signed the papers , he tried to force himself on your daughter , even though you thought he -- brooke : we thought that he was dead , that hope had killed him accidentally . we were gon na tell the truth , believe me . ridge : but you did n't tell the truth . you just told me that my son was up to his old tricks , that 's all . brooke : okay , we were wrong . we should 've told you right then , but the important thing is that thomas is alive and well . ridge : must be relieved . brooke : well , yes , of course i 'm relieved . i - i 'm very happy that thomas is fine . i mean , yes , we have n't had the best relationship in quite some time , but i would n't wish harm upon him . ridge : see , this is my dilemma . i do n't know if i should believe you now , you being honest with me , you being honest with yourself . is skincare from around the world steffy : thomas , my god . thomas : pretty crazy , right ? hope thinking that she had killed me , that there was a vat of acid , when in reality it had been switched with a cleaning solution . steffy : are you all right ? thomas : i 've survived worse , and at the hands of logan women . steffy : you mean what happened with brooke . thomas : yeah , she pushed me off that cliff right there , and i could 've pressed charges , but i did n't because i was hoping that she would see -- brooke would see that i could forgive , and then maybe she could forgive me , you know , for keeping the secret about beth , but it 's like her hatred for me just grew . steffy : i - i still do n't understand why you let hope think you were dead . thomas : to prove a point . look , i kept a secret , and it 's something that i - i regret , but hope kept one , too . when she did n't go to dad or to the police when she found out what she thought she had done to me , she finally realized how it felt , to realize that good people make bad decisions , and that does n't mean that they 're bad people . it just means that they 're human . steffy : so you did this to show hope you 're not a monster . thomas : and that we can still move forward , the three of us as a family , for douglas . hope : back to sleep . i did n't mean to wake you . douglas : i was dreaming we were riding the ferris wheel -- you , me , and daddy . hope : [ chuckles ] were you scared ? douglas : no . you guys were holding my hands . hope : well , that 's how i want you to always feel -- safe and loved , because you are . douglas : i have a secret . hope : oh , you do ? douglas : sometimes i talk to mommy in heaven and tell her things . hope : like what ? douglas : like i wish beth was my sister and ... i wish i could have a puppy . hope : [ giggles ] well , i do n't know about the puppy , but beth is already like a sister , right ? and now that you will be spending more time here ... douglas : i will ? beth : mm - hmm , that 's what it 's looking like . douglas : yay ! hope : oh ! [ laughs ] oh . [ chuckles ] douglas : i 'm so happy to be back here with you , mommy . hope : oh , i 'm happy , too , sweetie . i 'm so happy that i 'm going to be a part of your life always . brooke : i am being honest with you and with myself . i would never wish any harm on thomas . ridge : because he 's my son , not because you think he 's worthy of your forgiveness . brooke : ridge , he caused my daughter the deepest pain in her life . he knew that beth was alive , and he kept it -- ridge : and he kept the secret ... same way you kept the secret of what happened to my son last night . brooke : you have to believe we were gon na tell you the truth . ridge : thomas was gon na tell steffy as soon as he found out about beth , but he did n't , because according to him , he had a very good reason . and what about you ? did you have a very good reason not to tell me that you thought your daughter killed my son ? brooke : we were in shock . ridge : yeah , i 'm sure you were in shock , but you must have been glad , too , right ? did n't have to deal with thomas anymore ? brooke : what ? how could you even say that ? ridge : what if it had n't been cleaning fluid ? brooke : ridge , stop . i was very relieved when i walked in the room , and i saw that thomas was alive . ridge : yeah . brooke : i was happy for him . ridge : were you happy ? but you were more happy for your daughter , were n't you ? brooke : well , yes , of course i was happy for her . i mean , the thought of her being hauled off to jail over some horrible accident ... ridge : accident -- there you go . it 's an accident . why would n't you trust me to -- to understand that things like that can happen ? because you do n't trust me . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge : you lie to me . you do things behind my back . i love you so much . do you know that ? but you and your daughter and this ... this unrelenting pursuit of trying to get douglas away from his father , from his family , using any means necessary , and i mean any means , because hope did whatever she had to do to get thomas to sign those papers . and now the boy 's even more confused 'cause he does n't know where he stands with her . and what about you ? that -- that ring came off so easily . and you tricked my son into signing those papers , and now you keep this horrible secret from me ? who are you ? i don't ... i do n't recognize you . where 's logan ? where 's my beautiful wife ? steffy : i do n't understand how making hope think that you were dead is gon na change her mind about you . thomas : it 'll help hope realize what it 's like , finally , to be trapped by circumstances and to go into self - preservation mode , even when everything in your brain is telling you it 'll make things worse if you do . steffy : so you think that you 've opened hope 's eyes ? thomas : look , i realize i went about it in a very unconventional way , all right , but everything else i was doing was n't working . and you know what matters most ? is that hope and i are gon na be focusing on douglas , you know , co - parenting him , and he 's -- he 's gon na be so happy when he hears we 're gon na be a family . steffy : thomas , the way you 're talking , it almost sounds like you believe there 's a chance with hope . thomas : well , that 's exactly what i believe , sis . and it also means that there 's a chance for you and liam , too . brooke : please do n't look at me that way . i 'm right here , ridge , the woman you fell in love with all those years ago . ridge : the woman i fell in love with respected me , respected my family and what they stand for . and now you think we , what , we ca n't take care of a little boy ? we need you and hope to step in to do that for us ? brooke : i know that you love douglas . i know how much you care about him . but thomas has problems . ridge : we all have problems . all right ? i have problems . you have -- you have problems . look at all the scandals you 've caused over the years . people have walked away from you . they 've turned away from you , but they came back because they forgave you . but you ca n't do that . you ca n't -- you ca n't forgive my son . why ? all the fights we have . we fought so hard , right ? over women , over -- over different men , but we always found our way back to each other because we wanted to , because it was important , and we said we would never do that again . now look at our kids . look at what they 're doing . and they ca n't get past it because of your hatred for my son , and i 'm not okay with this . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge . ridge : thomas ... i 'm trying to help him get better . i know he has problems . i know that . and i 'm trying to make him a better person , a better father . and i need you . i need you to help . i need you to stand with me . [ sighs ] all you do is -- is give me ultimatums , give him ultimatums . you -- you -- you keep secrets , and i - i - i look at you , and i do n't recognize you anymore . i can ... i can never look at you the same way again . brooke : you do n't mean that , ridge . you ca n't mean that . ridge : this is over . it 's done . brooke : what are you saying ? no , it will never be over for us . ridge : every great book has that one chapter that no one wants to finish -- the last one . brooke : stop . i will always be your logan . always . ridge : it 's time to turn the page now . we 're done . at jcpenney , it 's black friday forever ! douglas : can you stay here till i fall asleep ? hope : of course i will , honey . thomas : looks like i 'm just in time . douglas : daddy ! thomas : hey , bud . how 's my big guy ? douglas : you 're here . thomas : i am . sorry i was n't here for the last day . but , um , i have some news to share . well , actually , hope and i both do . douglas : what is it ? hope : uh , well , it is about you . your dad and i love you very much , and we want you to have the best life possible . thomas : and to do that , hope is adopting you . we 're gon na share custody . douglas : what 's custody ? thomas : oh , well , uh , it makes hope and i both your parents in every way . douglas : so you 're gon na be my real mom now ? hope : [ chuckles ] well , i could never replace your real mom , and we are going to keep her memory alive by talking about her and remembering her , but , yes , i am your new mom . douglas : we 're a real family ? hope : mm - hmm . douglas : yeah , bud , we 're a real , honest - to - goodness family . douglas : awesome ! [ laughter ] thomas : yeah . it 's very awesome . ridge : i remember the first time i saw you . [ camera shutters clicking ] brooke : but why ? ridge : 'cause i need to remember you that way . i need to remember who we were to each other . the way we conquered the world . the way we fought for each other . the way we loved each other over and over again . may i hold you ? brooke : [ crying ] ridge : [ exhales deeply ] both : [ crying ] ridge : [ sniffles ] i 'm gon na love you forever . i ca n't change that . so goodbye . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] brooke : [ sobs ] [ continues sobbing ] | thomas surprises steffy , walking in without knocking . he claims that he did n't want to wake kelly . she demands to know where he 's been because they 've all been worried . he says that just now he was with hope , and he thinks she sees him differently now . thomas tells her what happened . steffy is dubious that hope sees him differently now . he admits that he thinks he might still have a chance with hope ( and her with liam ) . |
eric : are you sure ? stephanie : we -- uh , we argued . eric : and she pulled out a gun and ... and you ... you saw her ? stephanie : i s -- i saw her . eric : she was leaning over you when i found you . she said that she turned you over . stephanie : ( scoffs then sighs heavily ) donna . donna . eric : ( whispering ) damn it . [ scene_break ] ridge : yeah , thorne , that 's great news . okay , we 'll see you in the morning . thanks . bye . brooke : stephanie made it through surgery ? ridge : dad 's with her now . he refuses to leave her side . brooke : well , she 's okay . that 's what matters . ridge : is she okay ? someone tried to kill her . brooke : you still believe it was somebody from my family . ridge : she said it was a logan that shot her . brooke : well , that 's what you inferred from what she said . ridge : she was very clear . brooke : she was in shock . ridge : look , regardless , there 's gon na be an investigation . the police will be asking a lot of questions , and the press will , as well . brooke : so we should show a unified front ? ridge : exactly . brooke : well , i am . i 'm supporting my family . ridge : even if it means putting our family at risk ? [ scene_break ] woman : dr. kravitz , you have a visitor in the main lobby . dr. kravitz , a visitor in the main lobby . donna : so how is she ? eric : the surgery went well . donna : so s - stephanie 's okay ? eric : she was shot , donna . and so no , no , stephanie 's -- she 's not okay . the , uh -- she has a good prognosis , but ... donna : good , good . i 'm glad . and she 's awake ? eric : and talking . ( phone rings ) donna : yeah , yeah , i saw that . eric : how long have you been out here ? donna : for a little while . did you ask her who did this to her ? eric : yeah . donna : well , what did she say ?

[ chuckles ] remember when mom used to make a thanksgiving feast like this ? and we used to do the same thing -- we 'd go around the table and say what we are thankful for . and you know what you said every single time ? katie : family . brooke : yeah . well , mom 's gone and stormy 's gone ... but i do n't have to be . i 'm here for you , katie . when you 're ready . katie : [ chuckles ] i think i 'm gon na pass . hope : not allowed . you have to say something . katie : um -- oh , boy . it 's so embarrassing . sorry . um ... you 're the father of my child , and ... and that 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me , so ... thank you for that . and ... and we 've had a lot of good years together . happy thanksgiving . bill : okay , hope . you put me in the hot seat here . now i know what the turkey feels like . uh , i 'm actually gon na say something about the women on either side of me . katie , i could n't ask for a more incredible mother for will . you 're smart , you 're strong , and i know you will be his ideal for when he 's looking for a wife someday , and that 's a good thing . you have made me a ... a better man . and regardless of what we 've been through , i will always be grateful for that . quinn . i respect your raising wyatt on your own , starting your own business . i would n't have been , uh , the best father back then . but i hope today inspires you to know the father that i am now . quinn : thank you . wyatt . last year at thanksgiving , it was just the two of us . and now look . we 're working with forrester creations and being included with their family , and i could n't be happier . wyatt : me too . where would i be today if i had n't have gone camping in big bear ? a gorgeous blond walks by and snaps a picture ... and changes my life . and because of you , my mother 's company finally has gotten the exposure that it deserves . and i 'm celebrating thanksgiving with my father . you affect people . it 's not your clothing line . it 's -- it 's you -- your smile and your compassion . you 're one of the few people that i know who brings out the best in others , so ... thank you for taking a walk in the woods . [ clears throat ] hope : [ sighs ] uh , well , i did the seating today . [ chuckles ] i wanted to play this game partly because i knew that this man would be sitting to my right . and it gives me the opportunity to say to you , and in front of everybody , something i 'm sure they already know . you 're amazing , liam . you are a genuinely good person . and that is why i ... and everyone at this table ... loves you . happy thanksgiving , everybody . all : happy thanksgiving ! [ laughter ] [ indistinct conversations ] [ cheers and applause ] liam : so , uh ... i never got to say anything to you . hope : no , that 's okay . liam : no , it 's not . hope : liam ... liam : listen . nobody else -- nobody -- could 've pulled this off . look at them . i mean , all these fractured relationships , all these hurt feelings , and they 're setting aside their differences for today , for you . i mean , they are rising above the issues and recognizing that we 're a family . i mean , and that 's you . you wanted this day to be about gratitude , and i just ... i just want to show you mine . i love you , and i thank you . happy thanksgiving , hope logan . | eric welcomes the guests to the door , the first one in is dayzee . caroline and rick are already there . hope is fussing with place cards when aly asks what she 's doing . hope says she wants to play a little game at the table so it 's critical who is sitting next to each other . liam and bill come and katie is there and they look sternly at each other . hope tells aly there is a lot going on in this family this year . pam is a little nervous in the kitchen . charlie is trying to slowly talk her through it . he says sometimes you just have to take your chances and be brave and just let it happen . she comments that her mother hated cranberries and if she knew she was replacing them for the raisins in her dressing .. charlie tells her just do it . she closes her eyes and does it . he tells her nice release . bill asks hope why is quinn here . he says she could not invite wyatt without inviting her too . he quips first brooke , then katie and now quinn , dollar bill 's entire fan club . hope tells him so much to be thankful for . hope goes into the kitchen and tells pam that he brought reinforcements . when pam sees the logan women , she tells hope that actually they are good right now . charlie convinces her otherwise . hope also convinces her that cooking is therapeutic so let them help . pam tells donna she can peel the carrots . she tells brooke that she can dice the tomatoes , then proceeds to tell her what dicing means . wyatt asks hope to turn around and she is surprised when he puts the diamond necklace around her neck . he says it is okay as eric knows and thought it would be the perfect occasion . charlie is here in case they find themselves in the middle of another jewelry heist . he takes one look at her and says wow ! rick slips up behind caroline and kisses her on the back of the neck and asks her to marry him today after dinner and carter can officiate . they both agree to be impulsive and do it before everybody leaves . as he is about to sit at the table , bill notices the place cards and starts to move a couple until he sees hope 's eyes following him and he puts them back . |

[ chuckles ] bill : are you objecting to something ? wyatt : how about me constantly having to put the pieces together about my own family ? bill : what the hell are you talking about ? wyatt : you and liam are always keeping me out of the loop on everything ! and it 's hard to keep up with the back and forth and back and forth . bill : i tell you all kinds of things ! wyatt : no , you do n't ! like at thanksgiving ! you and liam are all of a sudden all hunky dory , all 's forgiven ? i 'm just trying to keep up here . bill : we 're putting the past in the past . that 's all , okay ? wyatt : okay , so , what ? the spencers are making a fresh start ? bill : that 's exactly what it is . and exactly what i want . liam : you okay ? steffy : yeah . yeah . i 'm just , uh ... thinking about everything that happened lately . liam : yeah , well , it 's been a lot . steffy : so much at stake . liam : and not just for you and me . i mean , [ chuckles ] i almost lost my father . i really could n't see a way back from all of that . the fire was bad enough , but when he demo 'd the spectra building with sally and me inside , that was it . i mean , i was done . i was never gon na speak to him again . i was never gon na set foot inside the spencer building again . [ sighs ] hey . steffy : i 'm just , uh ... i 'm just happy that you and your father made up . i know this has been really hard for you both . liam : yeah , but , steffy , i - i would n't have forgiven him if it were n't for my tenacious wife , who happens not to know the meaning of the phrase `` lost cause . `` steffy : yeah , i guess some people call that stubborn . liam : yeah , well , i call it working a miracle . listen , i know i can speak for my dad when i say we are both so grateful to you . liam : i could have saved us all a lot of time and grief by listening to you in the first place . steffy : you might want to remember that . liam : i almost lost everything . my dad , my job , you . steffy , i am so sorry for what happened with sally , and i am so -- i am so grateful that you chose to forgive me . and i promise i will never betray you like that again . never . we should go . steffy : we ? liam : uh , i want , uh , i want you to come with me to spencer . steffy : why ? liam : well , first day back at the office . i , uh , i have some things to say to the family . steffy : oh , well , you know , i 've been there , you know , enough , and i think maybe it 'll be good for the three of you . spencer male bonding . liam : yeah .

[ scoffs ] bill : not liam 's finest hour . hit steffy hard . wyatt : you know , well , he 's lucky that she even took him back . but i guess walking out on him probably made him come to his senses , right ? do you know how long she was gone , where she went ? ah , does n't matter . she 's back home now , and they are newly committed to each other . i doubt anybody 's ever gon na come between them again . liam : hey . bill : ah !

taylor : look , i have to express my feelings . i have to , at the risk of you getting upset with me . bill : you shot me with my own gun . how much worse could it get than that ? taylor : if you had n't interfered , if you had just stayed away from steffy -- bill : you think that liam and steffy would still be together today ? taylor : i know they would ! bill : no , they wouldn't . liam and hope -- they have a tremendous connection , and they 've had it for years . taylor : no , no . not like he has with steffy . no . those two had something special . they created a baby together . they were meant for each other . bill : well , it 's really neither here nor there at this point , right ? liam and hope are married , and they have a baby on the way . why are we even talking about this ? taylor : because you need to feel some responsibility for ruining steffy 's life ! liam is with hope now because of your selfishness ! bill : okay , listen . this has been a lot of fun , and now it 's over . time to go . taylor : no ! no , it 's not ! bill : yes , it is ! you are finished ! taylor : i 'm not finished ! bill : you 're done , and you can walk out of here or you can be escorted out . the choice is yours . taylor : [ sighs ] fine . fine . but you need to own it , bill . you ruined a family . steffy and my granddaughter have been robbed of their family . think about it . brooke : i respect steffy in many ways , but i 'm sensing a pattern that 's all too familiar . hope : yeah , well , you ca n't blame steffy for what her mother did to you . they 're two different people . brooke : that 's right . no , i - i do n't blame her . i 'm just saying that there are similarities . there are red flags . and i do n't want you to be hurt the way i was . hope : mom , steffy and i are well aware of your history with taylor , and we vowed that we are not gon na repeat the same mistakes . we 're gon na raise our blended family in the healthiest way possible and we are going to try and keep the peace for the sake of our children . brooke : okay . i admire that . it 's just not as easy as it sounds . hope : well , i have to at least try . brooke : with your honor and your integrity , i believe you might just do it . hope : you just are n't sure about steffy ? brooke : if steffy is anything like her mother , you 're in for many difficulties . hope : you just -- you have to stop assuming the worst , mom . brooke : i know . [ clears throat ] it 's just that , uh , those years of fighting with taylor -- you know , the constant battles , the competition , fighting over ridge ... she really resented me . and she blamed me for all of her unhappiness . she could never let anything go . and i am afraid that that might happen between you and steffy . steffy : liam , i know what you 're gon na say . liam : it 's just ... yeah , i - i - i - i still ca n't believe she did what she did . steffy : i ca n't believe it , either . and neither can my mom . liam : it takes a certain kind of person to try to end someone 's life , you know ? steffy : my mother has always been the pillar of stability . i mean , she has to be because of her job . it 's just i never thought in a million years she would do something like that . liam : she did . she -- she -- she did do it . and it 's really scary that she did . steffy : i know , and it horrifies me , but i know my mom , liam . she 's ashamed . and she 's getting intensive therapy , and i think it helped . she 's not gon na be a threat to anyone . i promise you . liam : [ sighs ] hope : [ gasps ] taylor ! you scared me . taylor : have n't you taken enough from my daughter ? you 're taking her office now , too ? steffy : liam , i completely understand where you 're coming from , but i do believe my mom 's getting her life back on track . she wants to be around more , spend time with her granddaughter , plus she knows how busy i am at work , and amelia is n't always available to babysit . liam : okay , but ... you can always leave kelly with me . steffy : yeah , but you work , too . you know what i mean . we can always use the extra hand . plus my mom 's missed out on the first few months with kelly . i want them to get along . i want them to get to know each other . liam : okay . um ... listen , i do n't want to offend you . this is your mom we 're talking about . but i got to be honest . the thought of taylor anywhere near kelly -- i just do n't know if that 's a good idea . what if something , like , sets her off again ? listen , she tried to kill my father , right ? and , yes , only you , me , and my dad know about it , but that does n't mean it 's not a big deal and it does n't mean we should sweep it under the rug . steffy : my mother adores kelly . she would never do anything to hurt a child . look , what she did was inexcusable . but i know she would never do anything like that again . liam : what about my wedding ? i mean , what about the cake fight , the toast that she made ? that was super creepy , and she was weird the whole day . steffy : well , that 's brooke 's fault as much as my mom 's . brooke knows how to push her . liam : this is what i 'm saying . what if brooke pushes her again ? what is she gon na do ? is she gon na do something irrational ? is she gon na do something violent ? steffy : no ! no , she 's not ! liam : you do n't know that , steffy . steffy : yes , i do . yes . she 's changed . liam : okay . i really hope you 're right . i really do . but i 'm not ready to bank on that just yet , and i think that she should n't spend that much time here with kelly . steffy : liam , she 's my mom . liam : [ sighs ] yeah . i know . i know she 's your mom . i 'm sorry . i - i can only imagine how hard this is for you , but should n't we want to be careful ? i mean , we know how she feels about brooke . we know how opposed she is to my marriage to hope . i just think the wise thing , for now , would be to keep her as far away from brooke and hope as possible . hope : i 'm surprised to see you . i did n't even know you were in l.a . taylor : oh , i 'm going to be here spending time with kelly and steffy . hope : well , i do n't blame you . you have a beautiful granddaughter . taylor : yes , and that 's why i 'm here . i 'm hoping that you 're going to be supportive of liam and his relationship with his first - born daughter even after your baby 's born . hope : oh , of course . i mean , i have always encouraged liam to spend time with kelly , and i promise you that will not change . taylor : good . i 'm glad to hear you say that , because she really is a very beautiful , sweet little angel . thank goodness she does n't know . hope : does n't know what ? taylor : how she and her mother were robbed of their family . hope : oh . well , i am sorry that you see it that way , taylor , but if we 're being honest here , steffy broke liam 's trust when she slept with her own father - in - law . taylor : that was all bill . if he had stayed away from her , you know that steffy and liam would still be together and they would be raising their daughter in their home . hope : i do n't mean to be rude , taylor , but i 'm actually in the middle of work , and steffy 's not here , so -- taylor : i know she 's not here . i was just there visiting her with my granddaughter . and it really is very sad . that innocent little girl being raised there alone with her mother , and all she has is -- is a photo on the wall of her parents so in love and their family stolen from them . and here you are , liam 's new wife , carrying his baby . but it is n't real . it 's only because of bill and his lies and his manipulation . hope : i think it 's best if you leave . taylor : you know it 's true . liam was going back to steffy . i saw it myself . he sent her flowers . he sent her cards telling her that he was coming back to her and their little girl and they were going to raise her there in that house , and then bill interfered again . he poisoned the relationship . he destroyed their marriage ! you 're just like your mother . brooke deprived my children of their family , and you 're doing the same thing to my daughter and my granddaughter , and i 'm not going to let you get away with it . | steffy tells her mom that she can not let this consume her . taylor says she keeps re - living that night and it is horrifying to her that bill could still go to the police and she would land in jail . justin asks bill if he is even listening to him . personally he is glad sergeant sanchez is still on the case of his shooting as he knows that person is still out there . that person had it in for bill and probably still does . surprisingly taylor drops in on bill so justin leaves . she comes to the point and asks if he meant what he said that he wo n't try to put her in jail . hope is not jealous at all that liam is going to spend some time today with kelly . brooke affirms to her when her baby comes she has a feeling all his focus will be on their daughter . she also tells hope not to get discouraged about her hope for the future line . it was very successful and will be again . try not to let steffy nor ridge upset her . hope tells her that she and steffy are in a very good place so do not try to stir things up by saying they can not trust her . brooke says she has a terrible history with taylor and in some ways steffy is like her . liam is surprised to learn from steffy that her mother had just left . he did not know she was in town and surely steffy can not be happy with what she did to bill . |
bridget : no . nick : doc , you got ta clear this up for me . what 're you saying here ? the kid 's going to be okay , right ? [ scene_break ] jackie : so this is your new office ? eric : yes . stephanie 's way of punishing me . as if living with her all those years was n't punishment enough . jackie : she certainly delights in making you suffer . eric : oh , she sits up nights , thinking of new ways . jackie : what a sad , sad waste of time . eric : well , she 's a sad woman these days , i 'm afraid . she 's consumed with revenge . jackie : you never thought it would come to this ? eric : no , i did n't . but it has . and i 'm not looking back . why would i ? when looking ahead is so enticing . [ scene_break ] megan : the press release for the new line -- stephanie : what about it ? megan : well , if you 've finished it , then that would give me time -- stephanie : well , wait a minute . that 's not my area of expertise . why do n't we have gill and p.r . do that ? megan : yeah , okay . stephanie : you heard . taylor : it 's only all over the building . what are you thinking , stephanie ? stephanie : oh , i do n't know . i supposed i wanted to humiliate him as much as he 's humiliated me . taylor : by relegating him to the basement . stephanie : mm - hmm . taylor : really , really . stephanie , how do you expect this company to survive when you 're doing something like this ? [ scene_break ] dante : do n't tell me it does n't bother you . brooke : what ? dante : that nick is with bridget only because of the baby . because it sure bothers me . brooke : i do n't know any such thing . dante : it 's true , brooke . brooke : i 'll tell you what 's true . nick 's heart is with bridget in every way that matters . dante : every way but one . brooke : dante , please . nick and bridget are finding their way back to each other . and the baby is a very special part of that . but not for the reason that you think . [ scene_break ] bridget : it 's serious , is n't it ? the baby -- doctor : is n't in any immediate jeopardy . but there is an increased possibility of a miscarriage . bridget : oh god . nick : no . no , now doc -- i do n't care what you have to do . or how many specialists you have to bring in , but you make sure you do that , because we are not losing this baby . it 's too important to her . it 's too important to both of us . [ scene_break ] jackie : i was n't even sure that i 'd find you here . eric : no ? jackie : no . i mean , i was under the impression that stephanie had you terminated . eric : well , she did , actually , in one way or another , but i came roaring back , challenging her for ownership of the company . jackie : legally , you mean ? eric : yes . unfortunately , the lawyers have warned us that a protracted legal battle could actually bring forrester down , and so -- jackie : so stephanie reluctantly reversed her decision . eric : basically , she still has control , but i love this company so much that i do n't care what the conditions are . i 'll stay here until things get better . jackie : well , i 'd strangle that woman with my bare hands for treating you so deplorably ! honestly , eric , how could she do this to a man that she supposedly once loved , not to mention the fact that you have -- why are you smiling ? eric : why ? you know how wonderful this is ? to hear you defend me like this , it almost makes it worthwhile to have stephanie kick me around the way she did to know that you still feel this way . taylor : you have every right to be hurt and angry . you have every right to even fight back . stephanie : you bet i do . taylor : but is it easing your pain ? is it making you feel any better ? stephanie : yes . taylor : no , not the woman i see standing here . you 've got this huge office , and no one to help you run this company . look , we all have our faults , including eric . [ stephanie chuckles ] but i 'm starting to think this is -- it 's about a little bit more than you being angry about this trust . there 's a fine line between love and hate . [ scene_break ] brooke : you refuse to see anything good in nick when it comes to bridget . dante : he almost ruined her life . i 'm sorry if i do n't like the guy too much . brooke : even so , they are still married . i think you should step aside and -- dante : and what , put my feelings aside ? give nick another chance to prove himself again ? brooke , i came halfway around the world to be with bridget . i left my whole life behind to be with her . i joined her family 's company to be with her . a family that i 'd like to be part of one day . so if you or nick think that i 'm going anywhere , i 'm not . because i love bridget too much . [ scene_break ] bridget : so , exactly what is wrong , doctor ? doctor : the ultrasound revealed that you have an incompetent cervix . nick : well , what does that mean ? bridget : it means that i have a weakened cervix . doctor : which is sometimes problematic , as the baby gets heavier . it presses on the cervix , which causes it to start to open before the baby is ready to be born . nick : so what do we do here ? is there some kind of a medical procedure ? surgery ? medication ? doctor : at this point we just keep an eye on things . it 's always best to be cautious . though , if there should be any bleeding -- bridget : oh , i 'll tell you right away , believe me . nick : that 's it ? is n't there something else we should be doing ? bridget : nick , it 's okay , really . i know what we 're dealing with here , so it 's just -- it 's all right . it 's basically just a little scare , right ? doctor : i 'd say your biggest concern is making sure your wife does n't overdo it . not that i 'm recommending bed rest or cutting back your hours at the hospital , but -- nick : doc , please , please , please , please , doc -- first of all , i apologize for getting so upset before , but i promise you , she will be taking it easy . i promise you , because she 's the most important thing in the world to me . and this little girl here . she 's okay . she 's okay . [ scene_break ] brooke : you have been a godsend to my daughter , dante . but if you 're holding out hope for a life with her -- dante : do n't see it happening , do you ? brooke : i think it 's inevitable that nick and bridget will be together , yes . i was just trying to spare you the disappointment . dante : and i 'm trying to spare bridget a life with one of your leftovers . which , by the way , you should be thanking me for . but you 're not . we both know why , do n't we , brooke ? [ scene_break ] nurse : by the way , i 'm aware at your last exam that you did n't want to know the sex of your child , but i do have that information right here . bridget : should we ? nick : well , i do n't know . what do you want to do ? bridget : i do n't know . well , actually , having you here with me and sharing all of this -- it 's kind of made me realize that i -- i want to know . nick : let 's have it , doc . boy or a girl ? nurse : it 's a girl . i 'll give you some privacy . nick : a little girl . we 're going to have a little girl . you are carrying our daughter inside you . [ scene_break ] jackie : no , no , no . let 's not get ahead of ourselves . i still have n't forgiven you for dumping me for brooke . eric : and yet you are wearing the dress i gave you . jackie : yes , well . eric : it looks stunning on you , by the way . jackie : thank you . eric : although , i would make some changes . perhaps lower the neckline here . here . jackie : yes , i 'm sure you 'd like that . eric : take the dress off . i 'll do the alterations right here . [ jackie laughing ] jackie : oh , eric . you are a very naughty boy . i might have to punish you . except i think that you 've suffered enough abuse at the hands of stephanie . eric : stephanie who ? [ scene_break ] stephanie : i ca n't believe -- i ca n't believe that i heard what you just said . i thought you were a good psychiatrist . i ca n't believe that you stand there and say to me -- you think that i 'm still in love with eric ? taylor : stephanie , it does n't make you a failure to admit you still have feelings . stephanie : i have never said that i do n't still have feelings , but love ? after the hell that man has put me through ? taylor : i 'm not saying he has n't hurt you . but for you to admit that you 're still vulnerable -- i mean , is that logical ? is that rational ? no , but since when is love , anyway ? stephanie : i do n't even know why we 're having this discussion . too much has been said and done to ever go back . taylor : well , i know you still admire qualities about him . you admire his talent . his devotion to this company . and to the people who work in it . his devotion to his family . which , by the way , is the most important thing , that the two of you still share -- your children . look , i 'm -- i 'm not saying that this will be easy . i do n't even know if it will be possible . but if there 's some way that you can just look past everything that 's happened , maybe there 's a way . you can find a way for you and eric to work together and run this company . and , i do n't know , maybe you can salvage a remnant of your marriage in the process . [ scene_break ] jackie : eric , this is n't the time or the place . eric : this is the perfect time , and the perfect place . jackie : not for what you have in mind . besides , before anything like that happens again , i have to be sure . eric : sure that i 'm over brooke ? jackie : over stephanie . and i am not certain . eric : jackie , do n't be silly . if stephanie were the last woman on earth -- jackie : she is not . she is the woman that you fell in love with . that you married . that you had children with . built a company with . a company that she now is in control of . a company which you adore . eric , that is a possibility that you could get back into a relationship with stephanie , if only to get back forrester creations . eric : no , jackie . jackie : there are feelings there , eric . whether you acknowledge them or not . and i ca n't afford to be and i ca n't afford to be jilted . not again . if i let you back in . eric : of course . given the mistakes that i 've made . jackie , there is no possible way that i would go back to stephanie . do you even know what she has become ? how angry and bitter she is ? not when there 's you . so warm and so wonderful . supports me in a way that she never did . and never will . [ scene_break ] brooke : please do n't make this about nick and me . i had the best of intentions in coming here . dante : i 'm sorry , okay ? it 's just driving me crazy . because i just want what 's best for bridget and the baby . i ca n't just leave your daughter to a man who 's just going to hurt her . i mean , he 's done so much damage already . and now he 's got regrets , and he wants to make it up to bridget . and their child . god forbid , if something happened to that child , i just have to wonder . is it possible you might be wondering about the same thing , too ? [ scene_break ] nick : talk about a roller coaster . bridget : yeah , it 's been quite a day . nick : you know , i can probably admit on one hand to the times i 've actually been scared in my life . that was definitely one of them . bridget : thank god , you know , everything 's all right now . nick : maybe better than it 's been in a long time . bridget : nick . nick : you know , you mean so much to me . i just wish that i had the words to make you believe that , because i know , if i do n't find those words -- if i ca n't make you feel that , that i could lose you and this little girl . the thought of not having you two in my life , it just kills me . bridget : please , stop , please . nick : no , no , i wo n't . because i know i 've said it before , but i want you to really , really listen to me . i ca n't undo the past and i ca n't fix the pain that you 've felt . but i can promise to love you and this child for the rest of my life with every cell in my body . in small ways . in big ways . every way that i can . but in order to do that , you got to let me in . look , maybe i 'm asking too much . and maybe i do n't have a right to ask . bridget : i 'm not going to deny that i definitely wanted to just hate you . nick : yeah . bridget : i 've tried really hard to hate you , but it 's -- just looking at you here . and i just saw that fear , and joy that went over your face . it made me realize that i -- well , it made me see how important that our daughter really is to you and everything you want from her . nick : and us , and us , and us ! do n't forget us . you and me . our marriage . our future . the question is , do you love me ? do you love me in that special way ? bridget : yes . nick : come here . can i put this on you ? bridget : yeah . nick : now , i want to put this on you . i want to make something clear . that you 're never going to take this off again . because i 'll never give you one . you have my vow , and my pledge to love you forever . the three of us , forever . | the doctor tells nick and bridget that the baby is at risk to miscarry and that she needs to take it easy . they also learn the sex , a girl . taylor comes down on stephanie a bit for putting eric in the basement and accuses her of still being in love with him . |

[ scene_break ] nick : you 'll be the main model . i also want you to act as spokesperson when needed . i want you to talk to the manufacturers and designers on the line and what direction it 's gon na take . you stood up for my mother against stephanie , and that took a lot of guts . you 're the kind of person i want on my team . donna : where do i sign ?

ridge : no . but we 'll figure it out . we will . let 's talk about something else . quinn : all right . oh ! have you heard back from international about all those orders ? ridge : i have not . but the good news is , thorne has moved back to los angeles . you can ask him yourself . thorne : ridge is the oldest . it 's natural to want to mess with your younger siblings . and apparently it 's something you never grow out of . brooke : ridge can be a little rough around the edges , but ... that 's what makes him so irresistible . thorne : oh , is that what it is ? well , he is charming . i 'll give him that . and ambitious . but i have to admit , i did get all the good looks . brooke : you both are very handsome . thorne : it 's amazing how different we are , though , considering we 're half- brothers . brooke : yeah . you 're really nothing alike . but you 're both incredible men . thorne : thanks . i will try to be patient with him , okay ?

[ wyatt scoffs ] that does n't mean i 'm giving up on the cause i was fighting for . but i apologized to dad . we worked it out . and you should be grateful , by the way , that our family 's not falling apart anymore . wyatt : i am . i 'm fine . i - i just -- i do n't know . i - i ... i do n't get it . i still think that there 's something going on here . more than you even realize . bill : i 'm glad you came in with liam . steffy : he insisted . bill : i hate seeing you so upset , steffy . i do n't want things to be difficult between us . steffy : we should n't have done what we did . how did we let that happen ? pam : i ca n't believe that i 'm saying this right now , but i really like talking to you , sheila . i know that i shouldn't . but i do . sheila : well , thank you . you know , i 'm gon na take that as a compliment . pam : okay .

[ sighs ] bill : yes . but put all that aside ... and what happened between us that night , with our history and our connection ... it was n't ugly . it was n't awful . it was ... it was beautiful . steffy : bill , i ca n't be hearing that right now . this never should have happened . bill : i 'm trying to make it right . i 'm trying to make amends with liam , unite the family . but i have mister -- mr . paranoid , i 've got wyatt suspicious , wondering what the hell is going on . i mean , he 's a smart guy . he senses something . steffy : what ? wyatt can not know . bill : no , of course he ca n't know . steffy : okay , then , maybe -- bill : but i 'm telling you steffy , his wheels are turning . steffy : maybe i should just tell liam . i can just confess everything . bill : no ! you can -- steffy : i ca n't keep this from him ! bill : you ca n't do that . we made a pact , and we 're gon na keep it . liam can not know . that night with you , it reawakened feelings in me that i had locked away . and i was ready to run away with you . figure it out . start a life together . but you want to stay with your husband , my son , who finally forgave me . then liam can never know . we have to stay quiet . it would devastate him . it would kill him . so we have to keep this secret between us . no one will ever know . . | liam agrees with wyatt it is one big happy family and he owes it all to steffy . brooke shows thorne her place and says he is welcome to stay there . thorne tells her ridge wasted no time in putting him in his place with `` little brother `` . it is time to do away with that . she says they both are incredible and good looking men . thorne replies he hopes this time ridge will appreciate her . bill tells liam that he went too far . he did things no father should ever do . liam says it pales in comparison with what he did . both swear they will never do that again . steffy says she did nothing anyone else would not have done . they will be a family again . she looks over liam 's shoulder when she hugs him to lock eyes with bill . sheila surprises pam by waiting on her table at the restaurant . pam thought she left town and wonders if eric knows . sheila says she could not afford to lose this job but she vows she will not cause any problems for eric or anyone else . pam mentions stephanie and sheila says she does not want to overstep her bounds but she will go with her to the grave if pam would like her to rather than go alone . sheila says she is not judging pam but she has heard about those moments at big bear with donna and the honey . pam says she does not like to think of that . sheila replies she understands as she is trying to change too and she thinks they could be friends . quinn and ridge work closely on her jewelry line . he tells her thorne is back . she notices some tension in his voice and does n't seem as happy as eric is . thorne tells brooke that his dad is getting older and it would be nice if he and ridge could get closer . brooke says the least they could do is be friends . wyatt tells liam that he is waiting for the other shoe to drop . it was only a moment ago that he and his dad were at odds . liam says he ought to be glad they are back working together again . wyatt ca n't help but feel there is more to the story than that . steffy tells bill that what happened between then should have never happened and she does n't know why it did , but liam insisted she come today and she could not get out of it . |
liam : you get my concern , right ? steffy : yeah , you 're protective of our daughter , just like i am . but ... we 're talking about my mom . liam : i know . i know that . steffy : she cherishes her granddaughter . and now that she 's back in l.a. , it 's only natural she 'd want to spend time with kelly . liam : i - i get that . i totally get that . my problem is -- i - is with taylor and kelly being alone together , like your mom filling in when amelia 's not available . i do n't think that 's wise , steffy . do you -- do you believe that your mom is a stable person ? hope : taylor , i am truly sorry that you feel that way , but it 's not how it is . taylor : really , hope ? you 're going to deny it ? that you 're not living the life that was meant for steffy ? you 're pregnant . you 're married to liam . hope : and , clearly , that is hard for you to accept . but steffy has . and i wish you could , too . taylor : steffy did n't have any choice but [ scoffs ] to accept it , just as i had to accept certain things that your mother did to me and my family for many years . not that i did n't push back . but brooke was relentless . and in many ways , so are you . hope : again , i am sorry that you feel that way , but -- taylor : liam and steffy would still be married , sharing a home together , raising their daughter , if you had n't come back from europe . and i have to wonder if that was n't some sort of agenda on your part . but one thing is for certain -- you took full advantage of bill 's interference in their marriage . you used it to win liam for yourself . did n't you , hope ? bill : [ sighs ] [ gunshot ] [ sighs ] [ sighs ] eric : [ sighs ] well , the next best thing to thanksgiving is thanksgiving leftovers . quinn : mm - hmm . ridge : you 're absolutely right . pam and charlie outdid themselves . eric : they donated a huge amount to a homeless charity . ridge : and you have all this left over ? how is that possible ? quinn : oh , because pam wanted to make sure eric had plenty of warm meals for the rest of the week . eric : [ chuckles ] ridge : okay . i think that 's very sweet . quinn : really ? even though we have a chef ? and , despite what she says , i can cook . eric : i know you can . you 're a very good cook . look , the whole point is , we had a wonderful forrester thanksgiving . ridge : yeah . we did . [ sighs ] but for steffy to see liam and hope celebrating thanksgiving and , uh , talking about expecting their first child , i think that must have been a little tough for her . eric : i think you should be very proud of steffy , the way she 's been dealing with the situation . ridge : i am proud of her , dad . her resilience and her tenacity . but ... she 's a human being . she thought she was gon na spend her life with liam , and they were gon na raise this beautiful kid under the same roof , and it just all fell apart . quinn : yeah . because of bill . if he could have just , you know -- ugh . eric : [ clears throat ] quinn : oh , i am sorry . i hate that man . i really do . he has caused so many people so much pain . ridge : so ... what do you suggest we do ? quinn : i 'm not sure there 's anything we can do . liam : steffy , like , my dad almost died . it 's not crazy that i 'm still concerned . steffy : i get that . i get that . my mom was in a very dark time . but she 's made a lot of progress , liam . she 's rehabilitating herself . she 's in therapy . this is kelly . my mother would never be a threat to her granddaughter . liam : okay , i do n't want -- [ sighs ] i do n't want to argue that point . i - i 'm just ... i just feel like we should be really careful where your mom is concerned . and it 's not just about kelly , by the way . i 'm worried about brooke and hope , too . hope : taylor , you said you came here hoping to hear me say that i support liam spending time with steffy and kelly , and will continue to do so after my baby is born . and i assured you that i already do . and i always will . but for you to suggest that liam and i are only together because of his father 's interference , that 's just -- taylor : bill injected himself into that marriage . he stalked steffy . and when she was at her most vulnerable , he took advantage of her . and that turned out to be advantageous for you . surely you see that , hope . hope : what i see is that steffy and liam made a beautiful little girl together . and kelly will always connect them . and that is something that i will always respect , and i will never interfere with . but the reality is , steffy has n't always played fair in the past . so if you expect me to apologize for what i have with liam , or to imply that i somehow engineered our life together , i will not . because that is not how it happened . steffy made her choice . and she accepted accountability for that . and if you ca n't accept that , i 'm sorry . but that is the truth , taylor , whether you want to hear it or not . eric : quinn 's right . we should steer clear of any further mention of bill spencer . now ... anybody for some pumpkin pie ? quinn : no ! ugh . bill : oh , really ? i do n't have room for that . you have room for that ? eric : all right , all right . i hear you . well , i 'm just trying to deflect this conversation ... ridge : i know . eric : ... away from where it 's been . ridge : i know what you 're trying to do . and i will not go ballistic on bill . eric : [ sighs ] okay . quinn : um , we should get going if we want to be on time to meet the suppliers . you still want to join me , right ? eric : of course i do . any excuse i can have to spend time with my [ chuckles ] beautiful wife ? [ quinn giggles ] of course . mm . quinn : [ laughs ] come on . all right . ridge : oh , no , no , no . i got it . you two lovebirds go ahead , do your thing . eric : all right . thanks , ridge . ridge : welcome . eric : look , as for steffy , the holidays are upon us . we 'll do everything we can to support her , whatever she needs . and that goes for you , too . this is our family . this is what families do . ridge : yeah . peace on earth and all that . ridge : as long as bill stays away from my wife and my daughter , we wo n't have a problem . [ knock on door ] steffy : what 'd you forget ? bill . bill : hi . steffy : i - i thought it might be liam . he just left . bill : may i come in ? steffy : yeah , sure . if you 're , uh , here to see your granddaughter , she 's slee -- bill : oh , i always love to see my granddaughter . but that 's not what this is about . steffy : is something wrong ? bill : [ sighs ] i 'm not sure . you know your mother better than i do . steffy : you 're here about my mom ? bill : she paid me an unexpected visit . and , based on that experience , i 'm not quite so sure she 's as changed as she claims to be . taylor : no , hope . i do n't accept it . because it defies what i know . you were just waiting for steffy and liam 's marriage to fall apart . yes , you were standing in the wings , waiting oh - so - innocently to pick up the pieces if the worst came to be . hope : if you are saying that i was there for liam when he needed a friend , then -- taylor : only , you were n't just a friend . your marriage with him had fallen apart , and you had never gotten over him . even being a continent away did n't change that . hope : so you think i should have stayed in europe . taylor : no , i think you did exactly what your mother would have done . what your mother did to me countless times in my marriage to ridge . yes , you just did what was natural . you were thinking only of yourself , your own needs , your own desires . hope : that is n't true . taylor : oh , boy . the apple does n't fall far from the tree . [ chuckles ] you logan women , defending the indefensible . hope : are you accusing me of -- taylor : did i accuse you of anything ? no , i didn't . what i did is , i said what i 've seen , and what i 've experienced as a pattern . a pattern of lies that led to my marriage being destroyed to ridge by brooke . and now my daughter 's marriage being destroyed with liam by you . hope : taylor , i did not break up steffy and liam 's marriage . bill went over to steffy that night -- taylor : thank you . we all know what bill did . [ sighs ] but you ca n't just put this all on bill . you made yourself available to liam , did n't you ? you took a page out of your mother 's playbook and , `` [ gasps ] oh , no ! how did that happen ? `` i am so sick of you fake logans taking and taking from my family . i have had to pu up with it for years . and now you 're doing the same thing to steffy ! taking the family my granddaughter deserves with her father ! how do you live with yourself ? ! liam : all right , that 's enough , taylor ! stop it ! now , i do n't know what set this off , but you do n't get to berate my wife , you understand me ? do n't ever talk to her that way again . hope : liam , it 's okay . liam : no , it 's -- it 's not okay . you 're pregnant , and you do n't need the stress right now . a fact which a psychiatrist should know . taylor : as a mother trying to defend my daughter and my granddaughter , you 're going to fault me for that ? liam : they do n't need you defending them , taylor . they 're not under attack . but you know who is ? hope . and she happens to be the mother of my child . taylor : well , steffy is the mother of your child , too . liam : i do n't need you reminding me of that . i 'm always gon na be there for steffy and kelly , and -- you know what ? [ sighs ] i think it 's time you should go . i 'll talk you to the elevator . steffy : what , exactly , did my mother say ? bill : well , it 's not just what she said . it 's how she said it . one might describe her as being wound a little tight . pleading with me to keep quiet about the shooting . apparently she feels that , since i 'm no longer pursuing you , i may renege on my promise to you and to her . have taylor arrested for shooting me in the back . steffy : what did you tell her ? bill : i told her , in no uncertain terms , that i would keep my word . not go back on my promise . but that did n't keep her from going off on me . blaming me for liam and hope being together . bill : she was trying my patience , steffy . [ door opens ] liam : [ sighs ] hope : i am sorry you had to hear that . liam : i 'm sorry you had to hear that . are you kidding me ? she was way , way out of line talking to you like that . hope : yeah . well , i guess she thinks that , if i stayed in europe , none of this would have happened . not that it 's surprising that she feels that way , or that she even still holds a grudge against my mom . it 's just ... seeing how worked up she got about it ... i do n't -- i do n't know . i guess she 's just holding in a lot . liam : yeah , well , that 's fine , but that does n't excuse her going off on you . hope : yeah , well , i think she knows now , given how intensely you came to my defense . liam : [ chuckles ] listen , you 're my wife , and the mother of my child . it 's hard not to feel protective . hope : why do i get the feeling that there 's more to it than that ? liam : maybe 'cause there is more to it than that . hope : hey . what is that supposed to mean ? liam : [ stammering ] hope : liam . liam : n -- it 's -- [ sighs ] hope : what do you know about taylor that i do n't ? [ knocking on door ] ridge : taylor . taylor : ridge . ridge : uh , you seem as surprised to see me as i am to see you . taylor : uh ... yeah . i w -- i was expecting eric . ridge : yeah , he 's -- i 'm -- i 'm just , uh , doing dishes . come on in . how are you ? taylor : [ sighs ] honestly ... [ tearfully ] i 'm grateful to see a happy face . the day after chemo should n't mean going back to taylor : eric and quinn , they had to go out ? ridge : [ sighs ] yeah . so i 'm afraid you 're stuck with me . so ... how have you been ? have you -- have you talked to thomas lately ? taylor : yeah , i have . have n't you ? do n't you two talk ? ridge : no , we talk . we just , uh -- you know , i was hoping he would come home for the holidays , and bring our grandson . taylor : hmm . [ sniffles ] well , at least we 'll have kelly here . ridge : you 've seen kelly ? taylor : yes . [ chuckles ] oh , my gosh . is n't she beautiful ? ridge : yeah . taylor : she 's the most adorable thing . oh , and i 'm so proud of steffy , everything she 's doing for her future and for her daughter . she 's just amazing . i mean , she 's trying . but , ridge , you know it is n't fair . our daughter 's life , our granddaughter 's family ... it would be so different if it were n't for bill . steffy : bill , i 'll make sure my mom does n't bother you again . bill : i can handle taylor . it 's just when she gets all sanctimonious on me , repeatedly chastising me for the damage i inflicted on -- on you , your marriage , my granddaughter 's family . how unfair it is . like i do n't know that already . the woman needs to move on , steffy . yes , i - i made some mistakes , and then i made some bad decisions , but i did n't shoot anybody in the back . taylor almost cost me my life . steffy : i know . again , i am so sorry . bill : i - i do n't need you to apologize . you 're not responsible for what your mother did . but moving forward , i need to know that you can reign her in . steffy : yeah , i - i will . i just need to know that you 're gon na be true to your word . the only people who know about that night are you , me , liam , and my mom . no one else can find out that my mother shot you . hope : do you not want to tell me ? liam : it 's not that . hope : 'cause we 're married , liam . you can tell me anything . liam : i - i know . it 's just ... [ groans ] it 's kind of a ... delicate situation , is all . hope : what is ? liam : you know , taylor , and her emotional state . hope : yeah . well , after what just happened , it 's clear that she 's still at war with my mom , and that has now spilled over to me , and she is certainly not a fan of our marriage , so ... liam : yeah . hope : look [ clears throat ] she thinks that us being together would have never happened if it was n't for your father . liam : [ sighs ] hope : hey . look . what is it ? i can tell there 's something on your mind . and whatever it is ... hey . how long have we known each other ? [ chuckles ] yeah . you know that you can talk to me about anything . liam : [ sighs ] hope : liam . liam : a - all i can say is that [ scoffs ] taylor has no business placing blame on my father after -- after what she 's done . hope : what do you mean ? liam : [ stammers ] not -- i mean -- i mean that th - there 's a reason i 'm protective of you , okay ? taylor actually can be dangerous . hope : dangerous ? [ chuckles ] liam , i -- look , i appreciate the support , but i think you may be overreacting just a little . liam : i wish i were overreacting . i wish i were . but the fact is , taylor has a history , and , when pushed , she can go to extremes . hope : what kind of extremes ? liam : [ inhales ] [ sighs ] okay . okay . um ... remember when my dad was shot ? hope : of course . liam : remember how there were , like , a million suspects because , you know , everybody hates bill spencer ? well , there was one person who had a real motive . someone who was pushed to the edge . someone who thought steffy was being taken advantage of , and who wanted to protect her daughter . hope : wait . liam ... are you saying ... ? hope : oh , my gosh . you are . you 're saying that ... liam : yeah . yeah , that 's , um ... that is what i 'm saying . steffy 's mom is the one who pulled the trigger . the person who shot my father is taylor . | steffy says they are both protective of kelly but they are talking about her mom . liam says he understands but he is talking about her being alone with kelly ; she is not totally a stable person . steffy says her mother is in therapy and making progress and she would never hurt kelly . taylor continues with hope that steffy is having to go through just what taylor went through for years and years from brooke . and now hope is doing the same thing by getting pregnant to get liam for herself , robbing steffy of her husband . hope says that is unfair of even suggesting that they are together only because of the baby and she is not going to apologize . that is not how it happened . steffy made her choice and if taylor can not accept that then she is sorry . taylor goes on that no she can not accept that . hope was just standing there waiting for the marriage to fall apart and she was ready and willing to jump in between just like the logan woman do to get their man . her mother did it to her for years . so hope took a page out of her mother 's playbook and played the innocent little angel . liam is outside ready to open the door to see hope when he overhears it all . taylor says she took it for years and now hope is doing the same to steffy . liam hears all he can stand and comes in and chastises taylor and does not want to hear her talk that way to his wife . he calms her down and then shows her the door . he apologizes to hope that she had to stand there and listen to that . he mentions taylor and hope gets the sense that he knows more than he is saying . |
nick : hey , look up here to me . no doubts . bridget : none . nick : this feels right to you , hmm ? bridget : completely . nick : fresh start ? bridget : i promise , no more insecurities . no more complications . nick : well , maybe one . you know , you got your roommate in there . you want me to talk to him ? bridget : no , i 'll do it . nick : i do n't mind . bridget : i know that you do n't , but he 's been a good friend . i just want to let him down easy . i think he deserves that much .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : you low - down snake . slithering out of brooke 's bed and into hers . jackie : pardon me ? stephanie : no , pardon me , that i could ever possibly think something might change . that my husband -- eric : ex - husband . stephanie : that the father of my children could possibly keep control over his libido for more than one day . eric : well , obviously , i can . it was practically nonexistent all the time . jackie : oh , stop it , both of you . you 're being ridiculous . stephanie : yeah , no . this is what 's ridiculous . to think that i came down here to try and work out some form of a compromise . eric : compromise ? stephanie : yes , eric . i 'm not blind . i see what all of this is doing to the company . i do n't want that , and i thought that you did n't want it , either . but obviously i was wrong . i thought we could negotiate something . you 're not the least bit interested in this family or this company . the only thing you ca n't wait to do is to get into her panties . eric : i resent that . stephanie : not half as much as i resent it . [ scene_break ] nick : hey there . brooke : hey . this is a surprise . nick : well , i 've actually been trying to track you down . i found out that you were here . i have some news . brooke : what is it ? nick : bridget and i are back together . no more doubts . no more questions . we 're completely committed to the marriage , and committed to having this family . i just thought i should be the one to tell you that . [ scene_break ] stephanie : we might -- we might -- might just have been able to put this family and this company back together . but once more -- once more , your pathetic weakness for women gets in the way . eric : you want to put this company back together ? give it back to me . stephanie : no , it 's my company now . and if you 're going to behave this way , then it 's going to stay that way . eric : you did n't come down here for a compromise . [ stephanie laughing ] stephanie : i know , i can hardly believe it myself . jackie : eric , maybe you should listen to what stephanie has to say . eric : no , no , not necessary . there is no compromise with stephanie . stephanie : not now . eric : not ever . you only pretended to want to listen to my opinion in the early years . and later on , you even stopped pretending . stephanie : how could i pretend to hear you or listen to you when you were never there ? you were always here , running my company . i raised the children . eric : that 's exactly where you wanted to be . stephanie : you have no idea what i wanted . jackie : okay , that 's my cue to leave . eric : jackie , you do n't have to leave . jackie : yes , i do . really , you two need to be alone , and i do n't want to be caught in the middle of a lover 's quarrel . [ scene_break ] brooke : so , bridget took you back ? nick : yeah . kind of amazing , huh ? brooke : no . nick : i really did n't think it would happen so soon . brooke : how ? nick : actually , it was her last pregnancy exam that turned out to be a problem . she has a weakened cervix , but the baby 's fine . it just means that there 's a bigger chance of miscarriage . brooke : oh my god ! nick : the doctor just said , you know , `` take it easy , no stress , and her and the baby will be fine . `` but i was scared . you know , the thought of losing that little baby -- i just could n't stand it . i think bridget saw that . and everything that i 've been saying to her -- she knows it 's true .

( laughs ) no . she would n't stop talking . you know sally . pam : well ... jackie : ( sighs ) pam : i 've never had the pleasure , actually . ( chuckles ) jackie : oh , well , she was full of advice on how to pass the designs off as our own . the only problem was i could n't hear a word she was saying because of ... the belly - dancing music . pam : ( laughs ) jackie : oh , my god . ( laughs ) well , what i did hear , though , before we were disconnected , was , `` deny , deny , deny . `` pam : ( laughs ) it is so hard for me to imagine someone like that being a friend of my sister 's . i guess steph did n't always used to be such a ... ( sighs ) stick in the mud . jackie : oh , yes , she was . in fact , she used to be much worse . pam : i wonder why she ca n't be my friend . jackie : ( sighs ) family 's a whole different dynamic , pam . why do n't you and i be girlfriends instead ? pam : come on . ( laughs ) you do n't want to hang out with me , jackie . jackie : huh ? pam : you may not have noticed , but ... most people think i 'm a joke . jackie : ( scoffs ) well , there 's one thing we have in common right there . [ scene_break ] nick : okay , this is the ship - to - shore , which you do n't have to worry about . you wo n't need that , because the boat 's docked , and your cell phone can work here . donna : you know , it just never ceases to amaze me the way these ships are designed . i mean , the -- the tiny , little bathroom downstairs turns into shower , and the -- this cute little kitchenette , it 's just ... ( sighs ) nick : okay , there 's several crucial things you 'll need to know if you 're going to stay on a boat . donna : oh , i know . uh , where the flares and fire extinguishers are . nick : pay attention . galley , not kitchenette . donna : oh . nick : the head , not tiny , cute little bathroom . donna : okay . ( laughs ) nick : the head is below , not downstairs . donna : below . nick : so we have aft , amidships , bow , starboard bow , port bow . donna : right . right . i can see how that 's important , because when i 'm here all by myself , it 's important to call everything by its correct name . ( sighs ) nick : good .

[ scene_break ] ( motor whirring , stopping ) steffy : so what 's with the juicer ? bill : oh , you know me . yin and yang , meditation , mixed martial arts , scotch , wheatgrass . steffy : mm - hmm . bill : got ta keep that liver clan . steffy : yep . bill : mmm . steffy : well , uh , you must have heard . i mean , how could you not ? i told liam everything . bill : yeah , i was wondering when i would get the official notification . steffy : but , um , not ... ( sighs ) quite everything bill : so what got into you ? steffy : i justi saw the future stretching out in front of us , you know , me wondering every week of every month of every year if liam would find out and if he would leave me . i do n't know . when you get things -- when -- when you cheat , it does n't really feel like it 's yours . and i have my reasons , but , hey , i did cheat . bill : and i helped you . steffy : look , but that 's why i came here . i just -- i want you to know that i did n't say anything about you . bill : yeah , but how long is that gon na last , steffy ? i mean , how clean a breast do you feel you need to make of things ? steffy : hey , you only got involved because i asked you . liam knows everything . but the mechanics of how it happened , it does n't really matter . but i know liam loves you , and he trusts you . and like said , i 'm -- i 'm not gon na say anything , bill . bill : i do n't do anything i 'm not willing to take the heat for . but i would never want liam to think that , behind his back , some sort of improper connection persisted between us . steffy : exactly . because it 's not true . [ scene_break ] pam : nick does n't seem to be coming back . jackie : well , brooke does tend to have complicated problems . pam : or maybe i 'm the reason . jackie : mnh , do n't be silly , pam . nicky likes you . pam : well he does n't mind me . that much i believe , but the rest is just pretending so that i 'll keep bringing you eric 's designs . jackie : ( sighs ) but that was the bargain that you drove , pam -- my son 's attention in exchange for the designs . pam : i know . and i would n't get his attention any other way , so ... ( chuckles ) ( sighs ) jackie : well , you might be right , but , you know , for the quality of attention that you want as a woman ... ( chuckles ) i mean , nicky -- he completely shut down after his marriage to bridget failed , and aggie definitely could n't get through to him . why do you think that i supported this `` stolen kisses for stolen designs `` idea ? pam : to avoid bankruptcy ? jackie : well , yes , but -- but because i think nicky needs a woman 's company again . he needs someone who is loyal and good - hearted , who can make him laugh , who can get him back into life again . pam : wow . i mean , i never thought that i could do nick some good . i never aimed that high . jackie : boy , i wish you would .

[ breathing heavily ] [ seagulls calling ] ridge : you ca n't do this . you ca n't marry the guy . he 's a joke . just like this ring is a joke . come on . for once , just put me out of my misery . say it one time . say , `` i am not marrying bill spencer . `` bill : no , no , you ca n't use my -- my office while i 'm gone . what you can do is keep alison in line for me . what ? no , no , no . okay , listen . i got to go , justin . yeah , i 'll tell her . steffy : tell who what ? bill : are n't you a nosy , little thing . it 's finally happening for brooke and me . justin was sending his congrats . steffy : you and brooke are getting married ? bill : yep . later today on the stella maris . and she is giving your old man the 411 as we speak . steffy : you 're not worried he 's gon na talk her out of it ? bill : do i look worried ? steffy : no , but the last time that happened ... bill : look , ridge -- you know , he 's big on the dramatics . but where has it gotten him ? nowhere . you know why ? 'cause brooke and i are inevitable . there is no way that ridge is getting another shot at keeping us apart . sasha : i know you 're still hurting because of what happened . that 's actually why i stayed away for thanksgiving . i wanted to give you some space . if you never want to speak to me again , i understand , but that does n't change how i feel about you . you 're my sister , nicole , the sister that i never could acknowledge for all those years . and now you ca n't even look at me . and i get that . i do . but do n't let whatever you 're feeling about me affect your relationship with zende . he really does love you , nicole . give him another chance . [ sighs ] i 'm not gon na make excuses for what you saw between zende and me . but , nic , you have to understand . another baby ? maya and rick 's surrogate again ? and i realize that you changed your mind at the last minute , but we did n't know that . nicole : and that makes it okay ? what i walked in on ? sasha : n - no , no . it 's -- it 's not okay at all . i just -- it would n't have happened -- nicole : i thought you were n't gon na make excuses . sasha : th - that 's not what i 'm doing . i 'm just trying to help you understand how hard it was for zende thinking that you 'd chosen surrogacy again over him . nicole : it was n't like that . sasha : well , maybe it was n't like that to you , but it sure felt like that to him . now , look , if you would just let him explain -- nicole : i was just with zende . sasha : okay , so what does this mean ? are -- are you guys patching things up ? because i - i sure hope so . nicole : seriously ? you honestly expect me to believe that ? sasha : yes , it 's the truth . i hate what this is doing to the both of you . nicole : no , you do n't . you hate the fact that zende 's trying to patch things up with me . you want him for yourself . you just do n't want me or anyone else to think that you 're that selfish . instead , you want me to trust you and believe that you 're actually rooting for zende and me . but i do n't trust you , sasha . how could i ever trust you again after this ? steffy : do n't sell my dad short . he stopped your wedding with brooke twice before . bill : do you know that he proposed to her ? steffy : wait , seriously ? bill : well ... not technically , i guess . i mean , in sort of a weird symbolic gesture . he did have stephanie 's ring . uh , he proposed a future , and this performance took place -- get this -- at stephanie 's grave site . steffy : wait . what ? bill : yeah . well , he was playing on their history . i mean , you know that your namesake and brooke had a very complex relationship that ended with them as friends . well , actually , uh , more than friends . stephanie wanted brooke and ridge together again . steffy : okay , so ... bill : so what better way for brooke to please the woman she came to love than by marrying her son ? steffy : so my dad , he did n't actually propose to brooke ? bill : no . well , look , look , the point is , uh , it ai n't happening , all right ? stephanie 's not gon na get her final wish all these years later . steffy : no , because brooke 's marrying you instead . bill : and your old man 's just gon na have to learn to accept that , and i 'm sure he will once brooke makes it clear to him that there is no future for the two of them . [ waves crashing ] [ seagulls calling ] ridge : tell you , uh , r.j. 's here . he 's helping with the shoot . brooke : oh . yeah . he 's probably checking out the models . ridge : probably , yes . he 's still rooting for us . so what should i tell him ? brooke : when you called me today , i was with bill . and i came here to tell you that we 're leaving today ... to get married . sasha : nic -- nicole : stop . you 're only making this worse . sasha : i 'm sorry . i thought -- nicole : what ? when it looked like it was over between zende and me , you figured it was okay to just hop in bed with him right away ? sasha : that is not at all how it happened . nicole : tell me something , sasha . are you that jealous of me because of our father , because he made you his secret ? sasha : is that a serious question ? no ! i actually care about zende , okay ? and how could i not ? but if you are back together , i will respect that . so , are you ? are you back together ? nicole : [ scoffs ] i mishandled things , and i told rick and maya that i would be their surrogate again before speaking with zende . he had every right to be upset . but what i ca n't get past is he takes his upset , hops on a plane to hawaii with my sister , the sister he turned to once before when there was a problem between us . when i walked in on you two , seeing you ... how do i ever get that image out of my head ? sasha : nicole , i 'm sorry . i truly , truly am so , so , so sorry . obviously if we had known this information earlier , it would n't have ... but look , can you just please find a way to get past it ? ca n't you find a way to forgive him ? trust me . he is more crazy in love with you now than ever before . forgive him , sis . or maybe you already have . so , what 'd you say ? what did you tell him ? nicole : i told him the same thing i told you . that i can never trust him again . bill : so , now that you have willingly given brooke and me and our upcoming nuptials your support -- steffy : oh , did i ? i do n't really think i ever -- i ever did that . bill : tell me what else brings you by . steffy : i went to go see liam in his office . he was n't there , so i was hoping he was in here with you . bill : nope . have n't seen him . shall we issue an apb ? better yet , if we grab a pair of my binoculars and , uh , we take a look right down there on that corner , i promise you that we will see him helping little old ladies across the street . [ laughs ] steffy : i do n't even know what to make of this bill spencer , the happy bridegroom . i 'm so used to you being intense and barking orders . bill : blame brooke . steffy : clearly . bill : so sue me . i 'm -- i 'm in a good mood . in fact , i 'm in the best mood of my life . brooke and i are about to get married in st. barts . steffy : wow . you sure know how to live . bill : and this is something that i 'm trying -- i 'm trying -- to teach my son . i 'm trying to get liam to understand that , but instead the boy is more worried about polluting oceans than partying on them ! steffy : [ chuckles ] okay , okay . so that 's just it ? you 're just gon na take off , you and brooke , right after she 's done walking away from my father ? ridge : spencer told you to come here and end things ? brooke : [ sighs ] bill has -- he refuses to wait any longer . he 's been very patient , you know , so i do n't blame him if he 's upset . ridge : you do n't blame him for leaving you at the altar ? brooke : you crashed our wedding , ridge . why do n't you just leave us alone ? ridge : hey . this really what you want ? walk away from r.j. ? walk away from us ? nicole : you should go . sasha : look , you just need some time . pushing zende away and telling him you 're never gon na trust him again -- nicole : it would have never happened if it were n't for you . you 've screwed everything up , sasha . he was hurting , and you took advantage , the same way you did before . what kind of woman does that ? ! what kind of sister does that ? ! do you have any morals at all ? sasha : of course , i do . god , nicole , you act like i 'm some sort of tramp . and you want to stand here and talk down to me ? well , news flash -- nothing you say to me can affect me , not after the life i 've been through , what our father did to me . but hey , you know what ? if you want to go ahead and make an enemy out of me -- nicole : what i want is my future back . you took it away from me . you took my future , sasha . sasha : oh , no . you did that all on your own the second you decided to become maya and rick 's surrogate again . that 's what sent zende running . it was -- it was too much for him , nicole ! it 's too much for anybody ! nicole : do n't you dare act like you know him better than i do . the only reason you know him is because of me . sasha : [ chuckles ] and , you know , that 's exactly something i would expect someone to say who 's had a cushy , little , easy life . yeah , loving , little family , and your sister moved out to l.a. , and she got you all set up . you 've been coddled , nicole ! and that makes me think you 're not even mature enough to be in a relationship . nicole : and you are ? sasha : oh , yeah . because i know who i am . and i do n't think you can say the same . who knows ? maybe having rick 's baby kind of messed you up a little bit . but get this -- there is no prince charming out there , okay ? there is no such thing as a perfect relationship . and you and you alone pushed zende too far . nicole : right into your arms . sasha : yep , sure did . steffy : should n't brooke be back by now ? maybe she 's run off with my father . bill : yeah , you ca n't rattle me . i am completely confident in my bride 's devotion to me . steffy : hey , i give you props , sitting across the thanksgiving table with your arch nemesis . i do n't know how i tolerated mine . bill : quinn . steffy : yep . my opinion of her has not changed . i 'm really just hoping she 'll self - destruct . bill : i 'm surprised she has n't by now , especially , uh , at the company . but after her , uh , fashion show performance , uh , one - upping your father , i guess she 's sitting pretty . now , we both know that my 12 1/2 % is the key to getting her out of there . and hell , she 'd be gone by now if ridge had n't blown it by interrupting my wedding again . steffy : you know , it 's not too late to sell your 12 1/2 % to my dad . bill : he blew it , and i will never let him interrupt my happiness with brooke . not ever again . ridge : think about it . think about what marrying spencer really means ... means to us . christmases and thanksgivings , you 're not gon na be with us because spencer does n't want that . that 's the life you 're choosing for yourself . is that what you want ? brooke : i have always wanted to be a forrester , and you know that . so for me to just walk away ... i will always love you , ridge . i will always cherish every moment we ever shared . but you and r.j. are gon na have to accept the fact that this is what i want . bill is who i want . ridge : then you should go to bill . i got work to do . brooke : [ sighs ] nicole : i 'm done . do n't talk to me . do n't even look in my direction . sasha : nicole , come on ! nicole : and as for zende , you can have him . he 's yours . but do n't be surprised when he quickly realizes that you are nothing more than a self - absorbed play toy . sasha : hang on ! this is about so much more than just me and zende , is n't it ? yeah . yeah , you 've said that you 've accepted me as your sister , but there 's a whole lot of old resentment up in there . nicole : that 's ridiculous . sasha : is it ? i - i come to l.a. and i mess up your perfect , little life , and not because i wanted to , but because julius avant made me carry around his secret . nicole : stop blaming our dad for everything ! this was on you ! you could have been a friend to zende without crossing the line . sasha : how many times do i have to say it ? we thought you had gone through with the procedure . had we known otherwise -- nicole : i 'm not saying i 'm blameless . i should have considered zende 's feelings more . but you took advantage of zende , of me , of the situation . now you have to live with that , with yourself . if you can . sasha : i did n't take advantage . do i have real feelings for zende ? yes . have i ever met a man like him ? no . but if you still want him , speak now , nicole , or risk losing him forever . steffy : well , for what it 's worth , i wish you luck . bill : i appreciate that . thank you . steffy : i still wonder , though , do n't you think it 's a little risky ? bill : what ? steffy : sending brooke off to say goodbye to my father . bill : [ chuckles ] i 've made a very successful career weighing risk - reward ratio . and i am very confident in this one . [ waves crashing ] brooke : ridge ! ridge : what ? brooke : you have to get back to work ? ridge : yeah , i told you . we got a photo shoot . brooke : yeah , i know what you told me . but did you hear what i have to say ? i 'm leaving today with bill ! we 're gon na be married ! we 're heading off to st. barts ! ridge : okay . brooke : `` okay `` ? you 're okay with this ? ridge : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm okay with what ? brooke : [ sighs ] my god . are you even listening to me ? ! this -- this is a life- changing moment for you , for me , and for r.j. ! [ sighs ] ridge : you 're not leaving me . not now and not ever . | steffy drops in on bill while he is working out in his office . she says she will come back . he says it is not like she has n't seen him without his shirt on before . he ends up telling her that her old man is not going to keep him and brooke apart ; the wedding is on within a few hours . sasha tells nicole that she gave her some space and did not come around on thanksgiving . she is not going to make excuses what happened between her and zende but it would not have happened except for what nicole did made the choice to be a surrogate again . but he really loves her and she hopes she will not hold that against him and give him another chance as he really loves her . nicole tells her that she could never trust sasha again and she knows she is not happy about the possibility of zende and nicole getting back together . ridge tells brooke to take off that joke of a ring and tell bill the engagement and wedding is off . come be with him . she tells him the reason she came today was to tell him she was leaving in a few hours to marry bill . ridge asks her to make sure that is what she wants , to walk away from rj and from him . sasha tells nicole that she still cares for zende but if they get back together she will respect that . nicole says what she can not accept is that zende keeps popping back to sasha when he is upset . sasha replies that he is even more crazy for her than before so there must be a way that nicole can forgive and forget . nicole says she told zende she could not trust him again . zende was hurting and sasha took advantage of him . what kind of sister does that ? she took her future . and the only reason she even knows zende is because of nicole . sasha tells her nicole has always been coddled and there is no such thing as prince charming out there so if she throws zende aside that will all be on her . |
[ birds chirping ] brooke : since when did you become a tea drinker , thorne ? thorne : something i picked up in europe . brooke : oh , yeah ? anything else you pick up in europe ? or should i say , anybody else ? thorne : [ chuckles ] well , i am a forrester . nothing like my brother , but ... sorry . brooke : do n't be silly . thorne : look , i know you do n't want to talk about the reasons you and ridge did n't get married in australia . it 's because of something he did . and knowing my brother , it involved another woman . [ seagulls calling ] it just upsets me that he ca n't appreciate what an incredible person you are and that he always has to turn to another woman . ridge : wow . quinn : hmm . ridge : i 'm inspired . quinn : i inspired you ? that 's a compliment . ridge : i could design a dress just around that . quinn : really ? ridge : mm - hmm . quinn : huh . [ door opens ] ivy : quinn . oh , uh , sorry to interrupt . quinn : no , no , you were n't interrupting anything . what 's up ? ivy : quinn , i just wanted to say that these pieces you were working on yesterday -- amazing . ridge : they are indeed . ivy : mm - hmm . quinn : would you say they are inspiring ? ridge : oh , come on . i meant what i said . quinn : thank you . charlie : hey , hon . pam : yeah ? charlie : brought your lunch . pam : is n't that what you fixed me for breakfast ? charlie : it 's the last of the turkey day leftovers . and i want you to have it . pam : thank you very much , but i actually already had lunch at the restaurant before i went to the cemetery . charlie : oh , you had lunch ? pam : mm - hmm . charlie : well , i haven't . pam : charlie . let me ask you something . charlie : uh - huh . pam : do you believe in rehabilitation ? charlie : what ? you mean like a -- like a leopard changing his spots ? oh , yeah . no . i do n't know . why ? pam : i ran into sheila at il giardino . charlie : [ coughs ] [ indistinct conversations ] charlie : sheila carter , huh ? still in town . pam : working at the restaurant . charlie : well , i hope you did n't invite her to sit down . pam : charlie , she was my waitress . but we did have a chat . charlie : what , uh , what about ? pam : it was interesting . eric : thank you . carter : i 'll get you those contracts by the end of the day . eric : all right . run them by ridge and steffy first , will you ? carter : will do . see you at work . eric : maybe , maybe not . carter : ohhh . life is good , is n't it ? eric : i am married to my beautiful quinn . better than good . carter : heh . later . eric : okay . sheila ? you 're still in town ? ridge : it 's beautiful . ivy : [ gasps ] quinn , i just -- god , i love this piece . quinn : you do it justice . ivy : oh , why , thank you . hey , is it true that thorne is home ? ridge : it 's true . ivy : oh . your dad must be very glad . he loves it when all the forresters are back in town . i mean , you must be happy , too . ridge : oh , i am happy . thorne : ridge is a talented designer . i 'll give him that . brooke : he has the gene . he gets it from his father . thorne : well , he 's not my father 's biological son , brooke , so i do n't know where he gets it from . but he is talented . i 'll give him that . brooke : oh , okay . so out of you kids , then , who gets eric 's talents , would it be felicia ? thorne : let me show you something . brooke : who did these ? you ? thorne : what do you think ? brooke : they 're beautiful , thorne . eric : you said you were leaving , sheila . sheila : that is true , but there 's something about los angeles . the happiest my life has ever been was here ... at times . eric : and at other times not . sheila : no . i think of the misery that i caused so many lives , especially yours . eric : so you can understand -- sheila : why you 're skeptical of -- of my motives . eric : yeah , at the very least . sheila : you know , it 's really sad to think that my legacy with you carries so much pain with it . eric : most recently this business with mateo . sheila : i could n't help myself , eric . eric : you could n't help yourself ? sheila : no , i needed to test your wife . i know it was n't my place , but in a way , it was , given the feelings that i have for you . what quinn did with your son was terribly wrong , and she somehow has made up for that . but i needed to make sure she was worthy of you . and for that , i will never apologize . ridge : you did some great work here , lady . quinn : oh , come on . you 're just saying that . ridge : just take a compliment , would you ? quinn : [ chuckles ] ridge : try this one on . quinn : okay . ridge : let 's see it . quinn : mm - hmm . ridge : all right , so how did this happen ? quinn : i do n't know . maybe knowing that sheila was out of the picture helped . for good this time . ridge : it would help me , too , if this is what happens when you 're in that kind of space . wow . quinn : do you really see a difference ? ridge : in your work ? yes , absolutely . and i hope it 's something more positive than just sheila not being around anymore . quinn : i mean , life has been really good with eric . ridge : must have been really good . quinn : yeah . ridge : this is -- this is -- it 's fantastic . it makes your eyes sparkle . quinn : really ? i had n't noticed that . ridge : it 's stunning . quinn : thank you . ridge : thank you . i meant what i said . i could design a dress around this piece . you could wear the two of them together , i think . quinn : or you could design it for someone . ridge : someone . yeah , of course , someone . but whoever wears it is gon na sparkle . this is your finest collection ever . brooke : thorne , how long have you been at this ? thorne : awhile . i started just after aly died . brooke : i 'm sorry . to lose a daughter ... thorne : yeah , i was a mess for a while , but i 'm okay . brooke : i did call . thorne : i was off the grid . i did n't take anyone 's calls or return texts . until one day i ran into pierre montbaun . brooke : the designer ? thorne : yeah . of course , i tried to avoid him like i was avoiding everyone else , but he insisted , so we talked . brooke : he lost a son a few years back . thorne : yeah . he said his work was the only thing that got him through . some of his best designs came from that period , so i thought , `` what the hell . give it a shot . `` better than feeling sorry for myself , right ? brooke : [ sighs ] i just never knew you had this kind of talent . thorne : well , neither did i . but i had help . i studied . i took classes . it certainly does n't hurt that europe has some of the best designers . felicio , langer . they , uh , all took me under their wing , encouraged me . i 'll never forget what they did for me . brooke : i am so happy for you . [ chuckles ] this is quite the surprise . thorne : well , i have another one . have you heard of aly 's fashion ? brooke : is that that small label that 's getting all the buzz in europe right now ? are you saying ... thorne : it 's my label . brooke : what ? ! thorne : the aly line is mine . but i want to keep it under wraps . i do n't want anyone else to know . brooke : i am speechless right now . okay , wait , so you 're a designer , and you have a new label that 's in the marketplace , and it 's selling ! thorne : it 's always been a dream to design . in a way , my daughter inspired me to do this , to take a chance . anyway , that 's why i 'm back in l.a. -- to share my dream with you and the rest of the family . brooke : i am so honored to be the first to know . i 'm so proud of you , thorne . really , i -- [ both laugh ] i 'm so proud of you ! thorne : thank you so much . charlie : i do n't know , pammy . in my mind , sheila is incapable of changing . pam : i used to feel that way , until i looked in the mirror . a lot of people thought that i could never change . charlie : would you stop comparing yourself to sheila carter ? you are mother teresa next to her . pam : you 've never really talked with her , charlie . i have . charlie : okay . that is the kind of talk that worries me . pam : oh , come on ! i 'm not gon na let her pull the wool over this girl 's eyes . charlie : really ? well , it seems like you already have . pam : charlie , what could she possibly do to us ? she ca n't cause any more harm to eric and quinn . everybody 's eyes are wide open now . her only hope is to mend her ways . i 've been to the bottom of that barrel , and i know what she 's going through . we all deserve a second chance , charlie , even sheila . eric : thorne wants to see me . sheila : oh , he 's back in town ? you must be excited . eric : he surprised us all . sheila : well , he does know you 're remarried , right ? eric : yes , he does . he 's like everybody else in my family . he wants me to be happy . sheila : that 's what i want . that 's all i 've ever wanted . eric : i 'm gon na hold you to that , sheila . sheila : well , you do n't have to work too hard to do that . you know , it 's hard to believe with my latest blunder , but ... you know , i was wondering ... eric : what ? sheila : i 'm embarrassed to even ask you this , eric , but my portrait . obviously i was getting a bit ahead of myself there . eric : a bit ? yeah . sheila : okay , a lot . a lot . if you and quinn have n't burned it already , i ... eric : it 's in the closet . sheila : you did n't get rid of it ? eric : no . sheila : [ sighs ] can i have it back ? quinn : my finest collection ever ? ridge : no question . quinn : wow . i live for words like that from you . ridge : well , it 's well - deserved . quinn : yes , of course , if you were n't c.e.o . , that would just probably fall on deaf ears . ridge : it 's all about the title with you , is n't it ? quinn : oh , no , you could be an intern and i would still -- i would still love to hear that from you . so , thorne . is he here to stay ? ridge : i do n't know . i think he might be . quinn : hmm . ridge : i - i do n't , um ... i do n't want him to know about us . quinn : i understand . brooke : you are certainly full of wonderful surprises . just wait until ridge and eric see your work . thorne : i 'm looking forward to their opinions . i mean , i would love to work with both of them . brooke : yeah , i can imagine . thorne : you know , it 's always been a dream of mine to be on the team . brooke : oh , you are a part of the team , thorne . thorne : yeah , i was a logistics guy . it 's different when you 're a designer , especially in this family . brooke : yeah , i guess . so , i 'm assuming you 're gon na be the one to break the news ? thorne : absolutely . brooke : okay . you better do it quickly 'cause i wo n't be able to contain this excitement . thorne : okay . there 's something different about you . brooke : my new hairdo ? no ? well , i have been through a lot since i saw you . thorne : and it started with sydney . come on , brooke . what happened there ? you were supposed to marry ridge . brooke : uh ... it was silly , thorne , really . thorne : silly ? brooke : yeah . it was a silly kiss . thorne : it ended your relationship , then you married spencer . sounds like there 's a lot more to it than `` a silly kiss . `` brooke : [ sighs ] thorne : i know you do n't want to talk about this , but i 'm concerned . brooke : and i appreciate that . it was wrong , but it 's over . and i do n't want you to get on your brother about this . what 's done is done . it 's in the past , and we 're moving forward . it was just one of those things . thorne : another one of those things . when you 're hurting , my brother is usually the cause . brooke : you are starting a new career , and i do n't want you to get distracted about this . thorne : you 're not a distraction . brooke : well , i will be if you obsess over this . come on , thorne . i know you . just let it go . that 's what i 'm gon na be doing . thorne : just a kiss , huh ? brooke : just a kiss . thorne : well ... that kiss must have been with someone pretty upsetting for you to call off the wedding . brooke : i 'm gon na go . and you are gon na make yourself comfortable . see you later . thorne : okay . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] pam : second chances , charlie . that 's what life 's all about . charlie : mm - hmm . you know , you can talk about giving sheila second chances all you want , but the only second chance she wants is with eric . eric : sheila , i need to get going . sheila : can i -- can i hope for a little forgiveness ? eric : sheila , stop . sheila : i - i know with what i did with mateo was -- was disgraceful . eric : what you did with mateo , convincing him to seduce my wife ? outrageous . sheila : yeah , i - i disappointed you again , and that was not my intention . eric : well , whatever your intention was , it does n't excuse your behavior . sheila : eric , i wanted to make sure you were with a good woman . eric : is any woman other than you ever gon na be the right woman for me ? sheila : well , if it 's any consolation , she passed the test . so she must be good for you . quinn : i do n't think you have to worry . thorne is n't gon na hear about what happened between us from me . and i doubt your father 's gon na tell him , either . ridge : i just want it to be behind us , you know ? quinn : well , it is behind us . eric forgave you . it 's over . ridge : yeah . thorne has a way of just ... quinn : oh , come on . i do n't think you should be worrying about this . nobody 's even talking about it anymore . ridge : that 's what i 'm hoping . i want a future with brooke . i really do . quinn : i know you do . i want that for you , too . i have to say , i 'm really glad we kept this friendship . ridge : hmm . the way we started out , it 's surprising we have anything at all . quinn : i hated you . ridge : i hated you more . quinn : ohh . but i 'm so grateful that -- that we 're here now . ridge : so am i. i do n't have a friend like you . quinn : see , i do n't have any friends like you , either . i do n't really have any friends at all , so ... ridge : hmm . quinn : i do n't want to give this up . ridge : me neither . quinn : the good news is , we do n't have to . ridge : because you have dad . quinn : yeah . and you have brooke . or you will someday . and nothing 's ever gon na happen between us again . ridge : it 's beautiful . absolutely beautiful . | thorne has coffee with brooke and says he knows she does not want to discuss why she did not marry ridge in australia but he has a feeling it always has to do with another woman and he can not understand that . and while ridge is not his dad 's biological son , he is talented like eric so he will give him that . then he shows brooke some of his own designs that he has been working on . charlie brings in lunch but pam says she already had hers before she went to the cemetery . she asks if he believes in rehabilitation the reason she just ran into sheila . he has an unhappy look on his face . but he laughs and says so she is still in town . he hopes pam did not invite her to see her more often . at the restaurant sheila sees eric talking to carter about some contracts and he will have them signed by the end of the day . eric looks up and is surprised to see that sheila is still in town . she says some of her happiest times have been here in l.a. and she just could not leave . and this thing with mateo she could not help herself . she did wrong but she had to test quinn to make sure she was worthy of eric so she is not going to apologize . ivy is pleased with some jewelry pieces that quinn and ridge show her . ridge places a piece around quinn 's neck and says it makes her eyes sparkle and he could even design a dress to go with it . this could be their finest collection . somewhere in the conversation he mentions that he does not want thorne to find out what happened between the two of them . |
hope : you ca n't be serious . taylor shot your father ? liam : yes . hope : but that 's insane . liam : yeah , well , that 's kind of my point . taylor is not always rational , to put it mildly . hope : well , i mean , are you sure ? i mean , you even thought you shot your father . liam : i know , i know . i was confused . i had had multiple concussions , but ... hope : okay , no , i just -- i 'm sorry . it 's just really hard to take in . liam : look , taylor feels a certain way about your mom . she feels a certain way about our relationship , and then i come in here , and i see her laying into you , well , that scares me . hope : so you 're saying that steffy 's mom picked up a gun and shot your father . liam : i -- i was n't even supposed to tell anyone , but , you know , if taylor really is a loose cannon , then , hope , i feel like that 's information you should have . hope : oh , my god . taylor : steffy gets so exasperated with me . ridge : why ? taylor : well , she thinks i should just let go of what happened with bill . ridge : yeah , she did the same with me . she said , `` you got to let it go . `` but how can we ? that 's our daughter , and that son - of - a - bitch took a blowtorch to her life . taylor : exactly ! steffy and liam , they would still be married if it were n't for bill . ridge : i know . but i 'm so proud of her . she got knocked down , but she got up , kept going . she took the reins and she did that for her family , for her kid , for her work . taylor : yeah . steffy 's a remarkable young woman . ridge : she is . but , to be fair ... with a gene pool like this , how could she miss ? steffy : hi . brooke : oh ! steffy , wait . [ sighs ] i 'm glad i ran into you . steffy : what 's going on ? brooke : we need to talk . about hope and her baby . steffy : is everything all right ? did something happen ? taylor : steffy 's life is changed forever . and only because of bill . liam turned to hope . and soon , they 'll be having their baby , and steffy loses again . [ sighs ] i mean , i know that liam spends plenty of time with kelly right now , but we both know what will happen . as soon as that baby is born , all of liam 's focus and his energy is going to be on his wife and their newborn , and steffy and kelly , they 're going to be left all alone . i 'm so tired of it . it 's just wrong . my family loses out again . [ sighs ] brooke : hope will be delivering her baby before we know it . steffy : yeah , i know , she 's really excited about it . brooke : and i just do n't want you to spoil it for her . steffy : excuse me ? brooke : i want you to respect hope and liam 's family . steffy : of course i 'll respect them . what are you getting at ? brooke : liam will be there for kelly , as he should be , but once hope has this baby , liam is going to have to focus all of his attention on his wife and his new child . liam : trust me , i know how difficult it is to come to terms with this . hope : i should -- i keep thinking that it ca n't be true . you are absolutely sure that taylor is bill 's shooter . liam : positive . hope : well , how -- why -- i mean , what is she even doing running around with a gun ? liam : she wasn't . my dad was shot with his own vintage gun , remember ? hope : well , so , what ? she broke into his house and found the gun and -- wait , wait , wait . hold on , though . how do you know this ? liam : steffy told me when i thought i was the shooter . hope : so you 've known this whole time . but does bill know , too ? why does n't he go to the police ? ah . steffy convinced him not to . liam : i mean , the last thing she 'd ever want to see is her mother in prison . hope : and , of course , bill gave that to her because he was in love with her at the time . so , who else knows ? liam : nobody . it 's just my dad , taylor , steffy , me , and now you . and , honestly , i -- i do n't think i ever would have burdened you with this if i did n't come in here and see her in your face , and knowing what i now know she 's capable of , i just -- you just had to know . hope : wow . so taylor actually shot your father . ridge : it 's been humbling , watching steffy grow into this person , this amazing mother to kelly . taylor : i know . i just want to see kelly happy . i want everything for her , especially to have her father under the same roof . ridge : liam 's not gon na abandon her . taylor : i hope not . ridge : he won't . even after everything he 's done , he 's -- he 's a good guy . and he grew up without a father , and he 's not gon na put kelly through that . taylor : well , not intentionally , but i think that he 's going to be spread a little too thin when the new baby arrives ... the one that 's living in the house with him there , with hope . ridge : yeah , well , then -- then we 'll have to pick up the slack . taylor : yes . ridge : that 's what grandparents do , right ? taylor : of course we will . ridge : yeah . taylor : we will , but it wo n't be the same . i just get so mad when i think about it . all of the flattery and manipulation ... bill inserted himself between steffy and liam . that 's what created the opening for hope ! and , boy , did she crawl right in . she certainly is her mother 's daughter . ridge : hey , hey , we 're not doing that . taylor : no , i 'm -- i 'm not trying to say anything bad . what i 'm saying ... the whole time hope was positioning herself to be the place that liam landed . ridge : [ sighs ] she 's not my favorite , either , but i do n't think she planned any of this , and hope and liam ... they have a history , and i think he just landed in a place that seemed natural to him , that 's all . taylor : at our daughter 's expense . ridge : i know . i hate spencer . i hate him . every breath i take just -- [ sighs ] what he did to steffy to katie , to brooke , to his own sons ... and , trust me , i 'm not the person that wants someone else dead , but ... whoever shot him , i ... i just think our lives would be a lot simpler if spencer were n't around . hope : i 've known taylor my whole life , and , sure , yes , okay , she can get emotional or a little over - protective , but to shoot someone ? liam : yeah , well , i guess taylor was kind of a mess when she came back . i mean , she had heard about my dad and what he did to steffy , and she thought he was taking advantage of her , and ... i guess it just sent her clean over the edge . hope : had she been drinking ? liam : i do n't know . my understanding is that she just went there to confront him , but ... you know , he was standing with his back to her , and the gun was right there , and a few seconds later , she just -- hope : it 's unbelievable . steffy : i do n't understand where this is coming from . i have been nothing but respectful of liam and his new family with hope . i 've gone out of my way to be supportive of them . brooke : i 'm just making sure that continues . steffy : why would n't it ? brooke : when the baby 's born , you might feel a little bit jealous . you might feel like you 're in competition with hope for liam 's time . and that wo n't be good for anybody , especially for the children . |steffy : are you projecting your history with my mom onto me ? brooke : do n't be ridiculous . steffy : i 'm just saying . i 'm not my mom , and hope 's not you . we respect the fact that liam has children with both of us . we 'll work it out without your `` well - meaning `` interference . but thanks for the concern . brooke : and i 'm just saying that hope is happy now , and she 's living the life that she should have lived a long time ago . and i 'm not gon na let anybody destroy that . so , please , i am asking you -- just give liam and hope a little space . steffy : i am giving space . taylor : are you kidding me right now ? you ca n't dictate how much time liam spends with steffy and kelly . in case you 've forgotten , they were his family first . oh ! steffy : mom , it 's okay . taylor : it most certainly is not . how dare brooke try to restrict liam 's time with you and kelly . steffy : mom , i can handle this . taylor : honey , you should n't have to handle , especially when brooke is sticking her nose where it does n't belong . brooke : i have every right to protect my daughter and my granddaughter 's best interests . taylor : then maybe you should be having this conversation with liam . brooke : well , maybe i will . steffy : okay , look , brooke , for the record , i am the reason hope is having her baby with liam by her side . i let him go . the only thing i 've been doing is encouraging us to be a family for the sake of our children . now , i 'm late . i got to go to my meeting . mom , come meet me at the house . we 'll chat there . brooke : i need a word with your mom before she leaves . steffy : why is that necessary ? taylor : i 'm happy to have a moment with brooke . it 's all right , go ahead . hope : my mind is still reeling . bill could have been paralyzed , he could have been killed . liam : this is my point . taylor shot my dad on impulse . she did n't think it through . that 's why i 'm worried . hope : well , i 'm glad that you told me . i get why you were so concerned now . liam : well , yeah , especially if i come in here and i see her in your face . like , i had to tell you . hope : thank you . i love you so much . liam : yeah . hope : gosh , if i am this freaked out about taylor shooting bill , i can only imagine steffy 's reaction . liam : oh , yeah , she was horrified , i mean , a , because her mom tried to kill someone , but , b , the prospect of taylor going to jail . hope : i mean , look , i get it 's natural for her to want to be around right now and help steffy out with kelly and spend time with her grandchild , but , liam , are we sure that that 's wise ? look , i am sure she has n't gotten over her animosity towards bill . she has deep - seeded issues with my mom , and she is certainly not fond of me at the moment . i mean , if taylor is this unstable ... i mean , who knows what could set her off again ? brooke : i 'm surprised to see you , taylor . taylor : really ? my daughter lives here , my granddaughter lives here . brooke : did n't seem like a priority for you up until now . taylor : [ chuckles ] you do n't know anything at all about my priorities . but you are right about one thing . i was away way too long . that was especially evident when i walked in and saw you bullying my daughter . brooke : bullying ? [ laughs ] i was merely just asking -- taylor : i heard you , brooke . demanding that steffy release liam from his fatherly obligations to kelly ? brooke : is that what you think you heard ? taylor : oh , well , if i 'm wrong , maybe you can set me straight . brooke : okay . hope and liam are married , and their baby 's gon na be here before you know it . and they 're finally living the life that they should have lived a long time ago , and nobody should interfere with that . taylor : kelly is already here , steffy 's baby with liam . you ca n't just wish her away . brooke : i 'm not wishing her away . liam should spend time with kelly . taylor : as long as it does n't step on the time that you think he should be spend with hope and her baby , which i 'm sure would be 24 hours a day . you never change , brooke . yes , here you are , just passing the torch on to your daughter . brooke : i do n't know what you 're getting at , taylor . taylor : oh , what i 'm saying is that you and hope think that you are so much better than steffy and me and that all of your needs are much more important . yes , all the love and attention must be paid to the privileged blondes in the room while the crumbs go to the dark - haired peasants . well , guess what ? that history is not repeating itself with my daughter . we 're not taking your crumbs . liam : so your meeting got cancelled ? steffy : uh , rescheduled . liam : all right , all right . well , how 's my little angel ? steffy : from the last time you saw her ? liam : yeah . steffy : even cuter . liam : even cuter ? steffy : mm - hmm . liam : i guess it 's true what they say , `` blink and you miss it . `` steffy : [ sighs ] a lesson your father had to learn . i hope you do n't have to . liam : where is that coming from ? steffy : well , you have a family on the way . a child with hope . liam : that does n't mean i 'm gon na neglect you and kelly . steffy : i knew you 'd say that . i just needed to hear it . liam : did i miss something ? what -- steffy : no , it 's fine . it 's just -- it 's just brooke . she just got in my head . whatever . i 'm over it . liam : uh , okay . so i 'll just -- i 'm gon na drop it , then . steffy : okay . i 'll let you know if we have to revisit it . liam : yeah . uh , hey , is your mom moving back to l.a . permanently ? steffy : yeah , i think so . it 'll be all right . liam : i -- mm , i 'm not so sure , steffy . i -- i just walked in on her with hope , and , uh , she was -- she was upset . she was really upset . steffy : about what ? liam : just the past , i guess , repeating itself . i mean , she thinks that -- that brooke deprived you and thomas and phoebe and her of the family life you deserve , and now she 's saying that hope is doing the same thing with you and kelly . steffy : oh , no ... liam : yeah . i mean , i actually had to escort her out . steffy : really ? liam : it 's not -- steffy : no , i 'm sorry . i am . liam : no , it 's not you . i 'm not blaming you for your mom , but -- but , you know , seeing her like that , it did raise a red flag , and ... um , listen , i had no choice . i had to tell hope about your mom shooting my dad . steffy : what ? ! taylor : does n't it make you sick , seeing all this painful history playing out all over again , now at the expense of my daughter and my granddaughter ? brooke : hope and liam are married . they 're starting a family . taylor : it is n't that simple , brooke . liam was married to steffy . they did n't break up because they stopped loving each other . they broke up because of bill 's manipulation . brooke : everybody blames bill for the steffy and liam breakup , but what if their bond was just stronger ? then bill would n't have been so effective , would he ? taylor : oh , my god , are you defending that man ? brooke : i 'm just saying , its easy to point fingers outside that marriage instead of looking at what was going on inside that marriage , but , you know what , it does n't matter . that 's all water under the bridge because hope and liam , they 're married now , and they 're gon na have a baby very soon , and all of liam 's focus is going to have to be on hope and their new baby . so if steffy could just realize that and give them -- taylor : and step aside gracefully so your daughter can have the sun and the moon . how did you get so entitled , brooke ? were you born that way , despite your humble beginnings , or did you work at it once you met the forresters ? you are such a liar . you destroyed and decimated my family . brooke : just get over it , taylor . taylor : get over it ? get over it ? ! are you kidding me ? you have destroyed every chance of happiness i have ever had at my life ! you stole my children 's father , not once , but every single time ridge came back to me . and now you 're trying to sideline my daughter and her child . so hope can reign supreme ! oh , i despise you , brooke ! i hate you ! you are a horrible person ! there is no one i despise more in this world ! liam : the person who shot my father is taylor . hope : back off , taylor ! whatever you crimes you said she committed , you 're not that innocent , either . and you know it . | hope can not believe it . liam 's father was shot by taylor . liam says and when he came in and saw taylor going off on hope he just lost it . he was not going to tell hope but then he thought it was information she should have . meanwhile taylor is crying on ridge 's shoulder that their daughter is a remarkable young woman who did what she had to do for her family . ridge says yes they blowtorched her . taylor says only because liam turned to hope then steffy 's family was lost . it is just wrong because as soon as hope 's baby is born all his energy and time will go to her . ridge reminds her that liam is a good guy . he too grew up without a father so he will not put kelly through that . he tells taylor who is badmouthing hope that he does not believe she positioned herself to get steffy 's family . he blames spencer and says he hates him with every fiber of his being and they would all be better without him around . steffy has a rude awakening from brooke that while he is attentive with kelly now , as soon as hope 's baby is born all liam 's energy and focus will be with his new baby . hope wants to know who else knows . liam says he never would have burdened hope with this until he saw taylor with his own eyes how deranged she has become and what she still could do . steffy does not know where brooke is coming from since she has done nothing but be supportive of liam and hope . she says she is not her mother and hope is not brooke but thanks for her concern . brooke reminds her again that she is just asking her to back off a little when hope 's baby is born . taylor walks in and tells brooke it is not her concern when and how much time liam spends with steffy and kelly . after all , he was with them first . brooke is sticking her nose in where it does not belong . |

like , he touched her , she pulled back ? that 's all you saw ? steffy : it was just this vibe . it 's like they were being really secretive . liam : just because she pushed him away ? steffy : it was the way she did it . she was -- she was looking around , almost feeling like people might suspect something . liam : like , you think she had something to hide ? steffy : yeah . yeah . liam : okay , or she could have just been annoyed , you know . thomas comes on really strong . steffy : well , whatever it is , i hope they put an end to it for wyatt 's sake . liam : okay , i 'm not -- okay , i 'm not quite getting this . ivy rejected thomas . he even said so . steffy : yeah , but then why were they being so secretive ? liam : okay , i thought you said you were n't gon na make a big deal out of this . steffy : wyatt trusts ivy . he thinks he found someone he can depend on and believe in . i 'm not saying that 's not who she is , but it 'd be rotten if she was n't . liam : well , yeah , i agree . and i think it 's nice that you 're concerned because you want ivy and wyatt to be happy . steffy : yeah , i do . liam : but you 've had issues with ivy in the past . are you sure that 's not kind of coloring your perception here ? steffy : no ! no , ivy and i -- we 're in a good place now , and we 're working through our issues . i 'm not accusing her of anything . liam : good , 'cause that could really screw things up . thomas : wait , so you did n't -- you did n't tell wyatt about that night ? wyatt : she was working in her room . thomas : well , yeah , she -- she came back up to her room , she changed in there , and then she came back down for something hot . soup , i think it was . the lady was hungry . wyatt : soup . what are we talking about here ? ivy : yeah . thomas : well , i thought you guys were the kind of couple that , you know , tells each other everything -- what they did through the day , uh , breakfast , lunch , dinner ... dessert . ivy : yeah . actually , we are . i really need to get back to work , so ... hey , uh , have you seen my -- my tablet ? wyatt : no , you had it with pam in ridge 's office . ivy : oh , yeah . hey , do you mind checking that for me , please ? wyatt : yeah , sure . ivy : thanks . wyatt : i 'll just , uh , i 'll have charlie put these in the vault . ivy : oh . wyatt : i 'll be back . ivy : thank you . wyatt : hmm . ivy : that was n't funny . thomas : oh , come on . you knew i was n't gon na say anything . ivy : oh , really ?

ivy : it should n't have gone as far as it did . thomas : you know , you say that , but every time we hang out , it goes a little further . ivy : well , not anymore . thomas : never ? ivy : [ scoffs ] thomas : you want me to give up , then . all right . this is where it ends , you know . you want to settle for wyatt even though he does n't satisfy you . ivy : i 've never said anything like that . thomas : you do n't have to . i can see it . you 're attracted to me . you 're tempted . ivy : you keep saying this is n't a joke to you , but when i actually tell you how i feel about wyatt , you just do n't listen . thomas : you have n't told me how you feel . you say you 're with him , that you 're dating him , but -- but you never explained why . ivy : well , i should n't have to ! thomas : it does n't make sense . you 're this -- you 're this gorgeous , talented , and -- and passionate woman . why are you with a guy like wyatt ? not even his own father respects him . i do n't get it . ivy : [ scoffs ] you do n't have to get it . you just have to accept it . wyatt : steffy tell you ? ivy 's been getting a little wild lately ? liam : uh , wild ? steffy : i did n't . wyatt : you did n't tell him about ivy 's new designs ? steffy : no , i - i did n't . wyatt : nothing like she 's ever done . completely wild . but wild in a good way . have you seen her tablet in here ? [ snaps fingers ] i 'll show you . steffy : hold on . wait . is n't -- is n't that private ? wyatt : ivy wo n't mind . steffy : well , she does n't just use that for work . wyatt : it 's fine , steffy . geez . ivy and i do n't keep things from each other . thomas : i hear what you 're saying . ivy : okay , well , now you have to absorb it and accept it . thomas : i understand you feel bad . ivy : thomas , i 'm committed to wyatt . thomas : i get it . you do n't want to hurt him . ivy : i love him , thomas . that 's what you need to understand . we 're together not because we work together or because i feel obligated . it 's because we support each other and we 're there for one another . what we have is so incredible , and i do n't want to do anything to jeopardize that . thomas : why 'd you kiss me , then ? ivy : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i do n't know ! that 's not me . i do n't act like that . i do n't -- i do n't just impulsively act on those feelings . thomas : passion ? desire ? those feelings are n't wrong , ivy . ivy : well , they are when they 're with someone else who is n't my boyfriend . thomas : but you are having them with someone else . and that should tell you something . wyatt : ivy and i are a team . not like ridge and caroline . i mean , i 'm not a designer , but she does come to me with her ideas from time to time , and i help her refine them . we work really well together . steffy : i just think -- liam : that 's awesome , man . wyatt : yeah . liam : so cool . wyatt : wh -- why do you think she would n't be cool with me looking at her tablet ? steffy : no , i do n't -- i do n't know if she would or not . but if she does n't have a problem with it , then go ahead and open it . wyatt : okay , what the hell is going on ? i thought you worked out your issues with ivy . steffy : we do n't have any issues . it was just a question . look , guys , i - i got -- i got to go . i got to go talk to someone . um , i 'll see you later . [ door opens ] ivy : it was selfish and thoughtless . thomas : it was what you wanted , ivy . ivy : [ sighs ] thomas : you should n't feel guilty about that . ivy : but i do ! look , i would n't feel guilty if i was single , thomas . but i 'm not in the same position as you are . i ca n't just go around acting on every impulse i have . i 'm in a relationship . look , i 'm gon na say this to you once more , so you have to listen carefully . what happened between us that night should never have happened . i feel so guilty . i feel awful . i should n't have allowed it , and it can never happen again . wyatt : out with it . now . liam : what ? wyatt : since when has steffy been concerned about ivy 's privacy ? liam : she 's not . wyatt : then why was she acting all weird ? liam : is she acting weird ? wyatt : now you 're acting weird , too , dude ! liam : okay , i 'm not ! it 's not a big deal ! we just did n't want to get into it in front of you . it 's not ivy . it 's ... thomas . wyatt : ugh . liam : the way he 's been acting lately . wyatt : yeah , well , nobody 's happy about that . liam : yeah , i know , especially you . wyatt : i mean , he thinks his last name means that he 's better than us , liam . and he thinks he can do whatever he wants to whoever he wants in this building , and that 's not gon na happen . we talked about this after he made us feel like we 're not welcome at forrester in that meeting . liam : i know . well , that attitude has n't changed . wyatt : yeah , well , he has n't let up on ivy , either . i just left the two of them in the design room . liam : what are you doing in here , then ? wyatt : i just -- i ca n't stand being around the guy . i 'm gon na hit him . liam : dude , you just said that thomas has been getting too close lately . wyatt : yeah , and he has n't let up on that , but trust me , ivy 's not having it . liam : o - okay . so you 're just not gon na stress about it ? wyatt : and act like the jealous neanderthal boyfriend ? no . thomas can make a fool of himself . i am way too smart for that . ivy : hmm . maybe a little too smart for your own good . wyatt : hey ! look -- hey . look what i found . ivy : thank you . liam : uh , i have to -- i got to go check on ... something somewhere . wyatt : thank you . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : you heard all of that ? ivy : yeah , i did . wyatt : i meant it . i 'm not stressing about thomas . ivy : i know , because you do n't want to sound like a jealous boyfriend . wyatt : okay , `` a , `` i 'm not jealous . [ chuckles ] `` b , `` it 's because i know you can handle him . ivy : okay , look , i 'm not gon na lie to you . i have felt a little uncomfortable because i know how much you do n't like him , and i then have to listen to what he says about you . wyatt : yeah , he 's not singing my praises wherever he goes . ivy : look , i have felt a little caught in the middle . but i 've made my position clear with him . and as far as i 'm concerned , thomas is n't gon na be an issue for us anymore . there 's a new after - hours club opening this weekend . thomas : are you going ? i would if you asked me . thomas : well , you might have just caught me at the right moment . must be my lucky day . thomas : glad it 's someone 's . steffy : helen , can i have a moment alone with my brother ? thomas : i 'll text you . [ sighs ] steffy : it 's not nice to lead her on , you know . thomas : who says i am ? steffy : i do . you have a woman in your life . thomas : i have lots of women in my life , steff . you , mom . steffy : no , i 'm talking about the special one . the secret one . thomas : not seeing any interns anymore , so you do n't have to worry about that . steffy : what about a jewelry designer , thomas ? thomas : ivy is with wyatt . we 've established that . steffy : but that did n't stop you from kissing her . thomas : oh ? it 's old news , steff . steffy : okay , so you 're still telling me that you and ivy spent the night at the house and you did n't even have a good - night kiss ? thomas : go ahead , steff . rub it in . nothing happened . steffy : you know what , thomas ? i wanted to believe you , but i do n't . not anymore . not after overhearing ivy telling you how guilty she feels . you lied to me . something did happen that night . and ivy feels terrible about it . that 's why she was avoiding you at thanksgiving . she was , like , pushing your hands away . it was almost like she was worried someone might suspect something . wyatt went to san francisco . what happened that night ? what 'd you do ? thomas : it 's not what you think , steff . she 's making a big deal out of nothing , and so are you . steffy : i 'll tell wyatt . thomas : what ? steffy : i 'll tell wyatt what i heard . thomas : why ? steffy : he thinks that ivy is committed to him . thomas : they are committed . look , we went up to her room , we made out a little bit , and that 's it . steffy : so the moment wyatt leaves town , ivy just makes out with someone else ? thomas , i told you to respect their relationship . i told you to stay away from ivy . thomas : their relationship is fine . ivy and wyatt are still together . steffy : ivy is supposed to love wyatt , not be cheating on him with you . ivy betrayed him . and now wyatt needs to know . | liam and steffy discuss thanksgiving and how she can not wait until next year to get married , so get out that calendar and figure it out . she tells him that thomas made his move but ivy got away , so wyatt has nothing to worry about . liam says ivy is committed to ivy , so no harm . steffy says she wonders if thomas is being straight with her as she saw them , just a glimpse on thanksgiving and there was a moment . wyatt tells ivy that she has been busy all morning and he thinks she needs to get recharged . he kisses her but she thinks of the one with thomas , though she tells wyatt this is exactly what she needs . thomas walks in and sounds like he wants wyatt to go out of town again , but wyatt tells him if he does this time ivy will go with him . thomas touches on the night that ivy spend the night in the forrester house .. and how she came downstairs because of something she wanted ..... something hot . carter tells thomas that he attracts women like a magnet but he is not even trying to connect with one . he must be interested in one that is not jealous . steffy fills liam in more , that she saw thomas put his hand on ivy 's knee . she pulled away but it was almost like they did not want anyone else to see them . liam says she has not liked ivy in the past so this may be coloring her perspective . |

( sighs ) ridge : until today ? taylor : yeah , we -- we finally had a real talk , a very honest talk . it was a very grown - up talk . ridge : because that 's what he is now . taylor : i know . but he 'll always be my little baby . you know that .

[ door opens ] ivy : steffy ? hey , just want to let you know , pam scheduled a meeting for tomorrow , 3 : 00 p.m. , with our bayside suppliers . steffy : yeah , that should work . ivy , uh , wait . ivy : what 's wrong ? steffy : um , i just -- i -- i need you to clear something up for me . ivy : oh , okay . steffy : you 've been spending a lot of time with thomas lately . ivy : uh , yeah , because i 've been choosing jewelry to go with his dress designs . steffy : it seems like it 's getting a little more personal than that . you know that . i know that . ivy : i do n't know what you 're talking about . steffy : it 's just that , um , women are drawn to thomas , and i just want to know if it 's happening to you . ivy : where are you going with this , steffy ? steffy : okay , i 'll tell you what i know . i know that you and thomas kissed . and i know that you had a private moment at thanksgiving . it did n't seem work related . and it seemed like it was ... more than friends . so i confronted thomas about it , and he said it was nothing . ivy : well , i hope you listened to him . steffy : okay , that 's the thing , ivy . i - i did . and then i was on the way to the design office , and i overheard you saying some things . you said that you feel guilty , and it should never happen again . so i went back to my brother , and he told me everything . when wyatt was in san francisco , you made out with my brother . did you ? ivy : it 's not what you think , steffy . steffy : it 's not what i think . it 's what i know . ivy : i do n't have to explain myself to you , steffy , because it 's none of your business . steffy : this is wyatt 's business . he 's a good guy , and he 's gon na be my brother - in - law soon . what you 're doing to him -- he does not deserve that . ivy : yeah , it 's a little bit more complicated than -- steffy : save the justifications for wyatt . because if you 're not gon na say anything to him , guarantee you , i will . | steffy repeats again that wyatt needs to know what ivy did the minute he left town . ivy tells wyatt that thomas was devastated of course but he accepted it that she is with wyatt now . and she wants him right here . bill tells katie that she is totally hot in the kitchen and he kisses her right there . he can have his pasta and his wife . it 's the greatest feeling in the world and he wants his grown sons to experience the same feeling . maybe they will be throwing a double wedding before they know it . wyatt tells ivy that she is amazing and he knows what he has and he is not worried about thomas . liam interrupts before ivy can say more that might have happened with thomas . steffy tells thomas that he does not like wyatt so that is why he is going after his girlfriend . thomas laments nothing is happening anymore . she says but it did and that is cheating . if ivy 's feelings were real this would not have happened . she is supposed to be loyal to wyatt and he deserves to know they both crossed the line . thomas says he told her that in confidence and she can not betray that . it is nothing ivy needs to be publicly shamed over . he says it started out one way but he really likes her . they made out a little bit but it stopped there so just let them go back to their lives . she says sorry , she can not do that . |
bill : the jet 's waiting , and it wo n't be long before we 're in st. bart 's . we 'll be married by tomorrow . i have to believe that you want that . look at me . tell me you still want to be my wife . r.j. : well , if she was n't into you before , she is now . ridge : i do n't know about that , r.j . r.j. : you drew a giant heart in the sand , re - created one of her favorite memories , and you showed that you love and care for her . ridge : i told her i want to put the family together ... and to go back to spencer and give him his ring . r.j. : and that 's where she is now ? ridge : yeah . but i do n't know what her plan is . r.j. : well , she 's not marrying spencer , all right ? not after today . why do you still look like that ? i mean , you do n't think he still has a chance , do you ? liam : there you go . steffy : thank you . liam : you warm yet ? steffy : uh , i think one more bear hug might do the trick . liam : yeah ? steffy : just one more . liam : we can do that . we can do that . yeah . how 's your finger ? does it , uh , still sting ? steffy : no . it 's not that bad . actually , i think the doctor said it 's gon na be a few more appointments till it 's completely gone . liam : can we get him over here right now ? steffy : oh , i know you ca n't wait . liam : hey , listen , the sooner we get that tattoo off your finger , the sooner i can put a ring on it . steffy : yeah . that one 's never , ever , ever coming off . liam : you want to think about wedding planning soon ? 'cause i 'm ready . steffy : yeah , me , too . but , you know , our wedding is n't the only one in the family . bill is planning on whisking brooke away today to marry her . r.j. : i mean , why would she want to be with that guy when she has you ? ridge : your mom and i -- we have a lot of history together , you know -- a lot of great moments and ... some not - so - great moments . i was n't always an angel . r.j. : yeah . yeah , that 's , uh -- that 's common knowledge . but you made up for it . besides , you and mom have something special . bill is all flash , no substance . ridge : i know that . you know that . your mom does n't see it that way . r.j. : how could you be working ? is n't the suspense killing you ? ridge : sometimes it 's better not to know . r.j. : why do you say that ? ridge : because sometimes the answer is not the one you want . brooke : i love you . bill : right answer . so let 's get out of here and go get married . brooke : there 's so much that i want to say to you . bill : then say it in st. bart 's . we 'll have all the time in the world . brooke : i 've always admired your -- your commitment and your loyalty ... your perseverance . and the way you 've been planning this wedding and planning this trip just shows me how much you really do love me and how much this relationship really means to you . i 'm so proud ... to have been such a big part of your life . and i will always be grateful for that . bill : why does it sound like you 're saying goodbye ? liam : i mean , my dad did n't mention anything today about getting married . how -- how did you find out ? steffy : i went to your work to come visit you , and i ended up running in to bill . he said they 're going to the caribbean and then they 're gon na hop on the stella maris . it 's all so fancy . liam : [ scoffs ] i love how my dad keeps me completely in the loop . steffy : well , maybe he did n't tell you because he 's not sure it 's really gon na happen . liam : why do you say that ? steffy : well , my dad . liam : yeah ? what about him ? steffy : he 's not completely out of the picture . liam : i know he 's not out of the picture . he and brooke have a kid together . d - does he know about the wedding ? steffy : um , yeah . apparently , brooke told him . and bill was kind enough to grant her one final goodbye . liam : [ sighs ] i mean , ridge had to see this coming in some way , right ? like ... i understand why you 're concerned . i mean , you do n't want him to get hurt . steffy : well , i do n't want bill to be hurt , either . liam : dude . like , my dad 's been wanting to marry brooke for years now . steffy : assuming it happens . r.j. : you ca n't lose faith now . ridge : i 'm not . i just do n't want you to get your hopes up . i know you want the family back together , but there is a possibility that that may not happen . r.j. : dad , i want this for you -- okay ? -- for mom . i mean , sure , it 'd be awesome to have my parents back together , but ... i 'd be fine either way . but you guys ? you guys would be miserable without each other . ridge : honestly , i never understood what she saw in the guy . i think spencer is a complete tool , but ... r.j. : [ chuckles ] ridge : ... for some reason , she cares for him . r.j. : she cares for you more . she does not look at bill the same way she looks at you . what you guys have is real -- what two people need to make a relationship work for the rest of their lives . ridge : okay , okay . i 'm not sure where you got all that wisdom from , by the way . r.j. : well , i know it 's not from you . ridge : no , probably not . hey ... i know what you want . you want me to be convinced that mom 's coming back . but i do n't know what she 's gon na do . bill : brooke , we have earned this moment . we have gone through a tremendous amount to get here , and now we are . we are finally free . brooke : i know . and being with you has been so wonderful . bill : this is just the beginning . we 're just getting started . we have so many things to experience . as a couple , we have our whole life in front of us . i know you 're feeling pressure from ridge and r.j. , and we 'll do everything we can to make everyone happy . but right now , it 's about your happiness . you have spent years sacrificing for others . now it 's time to make you the priority . you ca n't settle to satisfy r.j. 's fantasy of having his mom and dad back together . and ridge ? ! come on ! are you kidding me ? you ca n't believe a word that he says . and you know why . if past is prologue , and you know it is , you know exactly what 's going to happen . within a year -- hell , within three months -- he will leave you again -- listen to me -- because that 's what he does . you do n't want to hear this , but the fact is ... that is the greatest part of your history . but i am here for you . i 've always been and i will always be . you can count on me today . you can count on me forever . so let 's go get married . the jet is waiting . and so is our future . r.j. : i know what you 're trying to do . ridge : i 'm trying to design the next collection . r.j. : no . you 're trying to distract yourself . ridge : `` trying `` is the operative word , is n't it ? r.j. : oh , i 'm sorry . am i bothering you ? ridge : little bit . r.j. : oh . well , too bad , 'cause i 'm not leaving until you know mom 's coming back . ridge : nothing would make me happier , but that is her choice , not mine . r.j. : dad , you really got to believe it . come on . think positive . liam : okay , steffy , you know my dad . he does n't take `` no `` for an answer . yeah , he may have misplayed his cards here and there , but the man gets what he wants . steffy : i get that he 's relentless when he wants something , but you were n't around for the whole `` brooke and dad `` thing . i mean , they have chemistry like no other , even more than my mom . i hate to say it . and for brooke , she never got over him . it 's like ... he was always the one , and i think he still is . liam : i do n't know . i do n't know , steffy . i mean [ chuckles ] if it were any other guy , i would totally agree with you . no man stands a chance against ridge when it comes to brooke . but ... i think your dad may have met his match in my dad . bill : just tell me what you need from me . i mean , what can i say ? what can i do to make you see that this is right -- what we have been fighting for for so long ? i 've got to believe that you know in your heart that -- that this is what you want , that i am what you want . brooke : [ sighs ] it 's not that simple . bill : it was never simple for us . we 've had to fight for everything that we 've had . it has taken perseverance , unwavering love , and sacrifice . brooke : exactly . and at what cost ? we broke up your family . will does n't have his parents together anymore . bill : [ sighs ] and now my son is here , and he wants to see his mother and father together . family is so important . ridge and i have a son together . so , what , i 'm gon na be mothering katie 's son and turning my back on my own ? bill : what are you talking -- you 're not gon na turn your back on anybody . what -- what happened in malibu ? what did ridge do to you ? brooke : r.j. was there , too . bill : [ scoffs , chuckles ] oh , yeah . of course he was . this is about us -- the love that we share . brooke : i do n't love ridge more than i love you . both of you share a very special place in my heart . but i ca n't stop thinking about the children . ridge and i share a son . you share a son with katie . so , where is the decency ? bill : come on ! r.j. , will , all the kids , everybody -- they will be surrounded by love . they will have more love and attention than any kid on the planet . brooke : i ca n't stop thinking about katie , either , no matter what you say to me . i ca n't stop thinking about all the harm that i caused her . bill : you got to take a breath . you 're all over the place . katie , r.j. , will -- i mean ... we 're talking about us ! brooke : no . we are talking about family , decency , order , legacy , doing what is right . all my life i have followed my heart , and where did it get me ? it just got me into trouble . so now i 'm older and i am wiser . and you say that i need to put myself first ? no , bill . i need to put the children first . i need to do what 's best for them . bill : and you and forrester ? what does this mean for the two of you ? you 're blind , brooke . ridge has used every trick in the book including r.j. to manipulate you . so here we are . we 're supposed to be getting married today -- again . i love you . and i know that you love me . and i 've been -- [ chuckles ] i have been ... so understanding . i have been ... so patient . but it does n't matter . from what i hear you saying ... we may never be together . i ca n't do this anymore . and we ca n't do this anymore . brooke : [ crying ] r.j. : not bad . i 'd shorten the hem , but ... ridge : the mind of a teenage boy . r.j. : listen , you are not getting any work done , all right ? let 's go out . i 'll buy you a sandwich . oh , by the way , can i have 20 bucks ? ridge : thanks for trying to distract me , but i do n't know if anything can do that right now . r.j. : i do n't know why you worry . i 'm not worried at all . ridge : well , that makes one of us . r.j. : you and mom are meant to be . you both know that . ridge : might have lost her . it might be too late . r.j. : you did n't . ridge : do you really know how extraordinary your mother is ? r.j. : i think i have a good idea . ridge : she 's one of a kind . and i would love to spend the rest of my life with her . i just need one more chance . r.j. : that 's all you need . ridge : this is probably gon na sound a little corny , but you know that our two names -- r.j. : let 's see . uh , `` brooke , `` `` ridge `` ... `` bridge `` ? ridge : yeah . we 've been over this , and i know it 's -- but there 's some truth in it because it 's the bridge between our hearts , and it does n't -- does n't matter where we are in the world . we always have a connection . r.j. : that 's actually pretty cool . ridge : i just -- i just hope i did n't lose her forever . i 'm gon na get some fresh air , okay ? r.j. : all right . [ exhales sharply ] liam : let me tell you something . my dad is gon na get the job done , okay ? yes , ridge stopped the wedding in abu dhabi . yes , ridge interrupted the last one . but my dad 's not gon na let him do that again . and , plus , he 's absolutely crazy about brooke . steffy : yeah . bill and brooke -- they have been through a lot . hey , more power to them if they can get through it . liam : thank you . and i 'm not -- but i 'm not discounting your dad . i mean , obviously , the history they have and raising a child together -- they 've clearly formed an incredible bond . steffy : i wonder if people will talk about us that way -- our undeniable connection . liam : yeah , they will . listen , i 'm not -- [ chuckles ] i 'm not sure about much in life . but i am absolutely , positively certain about this . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge ! ridge : yeah ? brooke : yeah . [ both laugh ] brooke : i 'm back , ridge . and i 'm here to stay . ridge : my logan . brooke : yes . your logan . | brooke is not saying anything . bill tells her that she needs to tell him that she still wants to be his wife . she replies that she has a lot to say to him . he says fine . they can get married and she will have all the time in the world . she says she will always appreciate how he feels and be grateful for that . he says it sounds a lot like she is saying goodbye . ridge fills rj in on what happened and rj wonders if ridge told his mom that he loved her and that bill has no chance . why would she want to be with bill when she has ridge ? the heart in the sand was one of her fondest memories ; they had something special . bill is all flash and no substance . what his mother and ridge has is real , not the same with bill . ridge says he knows what rj wants to hear but he does not know what brooke is gon na do . bill tells brooke they have much to experience yet but they have their whole life ahead of them . right now it is about her happiness . she has spent years making others happy and she does not need to settle for rj 's fantasy of getting her and ridge back together . she can not believe a word that ridge says . within three months he will leave her again . that is what he does . but she can count on bill now and forever . they need to go now and seal their future . |
[ birds chirping ] steffy : [ sniffles ] `` meant to be `` ? bill , you and i , [ sniffles ] we are not meant to be . [ sniffles ] bill : i 'm telling you how i feel . but i will do the right thing . my relationship with my son ... it 's older than time , the dance of dna through the ages . i will honor it . i will be a good and loyal father . steffy : if he 'll let you . bill : do n't do what you 're thinking of doing , steffy . nothing good will come from liam knowing about that night . steffy : at first you were shocked i did n't tell him . what 's the difference now ? bill : you are . remember the first time we were wrapped up in each other , before marriages and bloodlines pushed us to our separate corners ? but then we made love . steffy : bill , stop calling it that . bill : i can't . i won't . if you want to be in denial about it , fine . we 'll -- we 'll go back to the way things were . we 'll keep the lie going with liam . but i ca n't lie to myself , and i ca n't lie to you about what it meant to finally be with you that night . liam : uh , can i get you some more coffee or tea maybe or -- sally : no , really , i should -- i should definitely get going . liam : okay , well , i mean , i also have peanuts . i have , uh , peanuts and -- sally : are you trying to be a good host or you testing me for allergies ? liam : [ chuckles ] i -- yeah . i 'm trying really hard not to do anything that could be taken as a brush - off while patiently waiting for you to give me some clue as to why you 're here . i mean , you 're having doubts about us helping spectra get back on their feet , i completely understand that . sally : no . no , no , no . not at all . i mean , your father made that promise in front of way too many witnesses at thanksgiving . liam : uh , so ... sally : so ... i am about to embarrass myself again . fancy that . coco : is n't that too many ? darlita : how many does shirley usually deal out ? coco : i do n't want to learn poker from grams . she cheats . i just really want to be able to play when r.j . wants to . darlita : [ sneezes ] coco : do you have allergies ? is it the cushions ? darlita : remember when your sister and liam went to the hospital for swallowing all that demolition dust ? coco : yeah , how could i forget ? what ? you think we have dust ? darlita : no . it 's just kind of sad and beautiful that now they both have spectra stuck in their internal organs forever . it 's kind of like a little love story all on its own . would n't it be terrible if liam 's wife was lost at sea in a tragic boating accident ? coco : [ chuckles ] steffy 's my boss . we do n't wish that on her . darlita : no , of course not . but last night , i saw a show where a woman was swept out to sea and then rescued by a beautiful island boy . and they fell in love . coco : i do n't really see steffy with an island boy . darlita : whatever . if steffy was gone , liam would be magnetically drawn to the woman who shares his demolition dust . [ seagulls calling ] sally : this may be a bad idea , and totally none of my business . but you and steffy seemed really happy on thanksgiving . and i know people put up a front sometimes , you know , on special occasions or in front of family , and i just want to make sure that ... i 'm really not saying this right . liam : no , you 're doing fine . sally : just that things really are okay . yes , i know you guys said you renewed your vows . and that 's great , you know . but that could have been ... liam : desperation . sally : i just really do n't like when people break things and walk away . i 'm just really relieved to know that i did n't do that . steffy : i should n't have come here . bill : but you did . i 'm not asking you for anything . steffy : no ? bill : you feel what you feel , and that 's your business , even if you do n't know what it is . i understand that this is killing you . but you better think very carefully before you do what you 're thinking of doing to my son . steffy : what ? being an honest wife to my husband ? i ca n't leave liam and come running to you , so can you just get that thought out of your head ? bill : so you say . but be too honest a wife to him , and he 'll leave you . steffy : no . no , you 're wrong . bill : i 'm not . do n't make any decisions until you 're more emotionally in control . steffy : liam will forgive me ! bill : it 's too much to expect . steffy : one mistake is not gon na end the marriage , but a lie ? a lie will ! just give it time ! bill : lying to each other is the price of happiness , and we all willingly pay it . steffy : well , maybe that 's true for you . bill : you 're lying to yourself right now . there was nothing indecent about what happened between us . steffy : you 're my father - in - law , bill . bill : yes . but there was a time for us when i wasn't . look , you want to stay married , i 'm not going to fight you on your decision . but i 'm not gon na let you paint what happened between us as something that was without goodness or caring ... or love . steffy : [ voice breaking ] i wish it never happened . bill : that 's a wish i ca n't share . steffy : well , i 'm sorry . i - i ca n't listen to this right now . bill : i have a stake in this , too . liam and i just reconciled . you tell him , and i will lose my son . steffy : and you deserve to ! bill , i ... i have to tell him . he deserves to know . i do n't know how he 's gon na react , so just be prepared for anything . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] liam : uh , well , thanks for -- thanks for stopping by . sally : thank you for not slamming the door in my face . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah . sally : it 's a shame . liam : what ? sally : that we ca n't be friends . liam : we can be frien -- wait . what are we , then ? sally : i mean , we 're not gon na be hanging out together . you and steffy are not gon na have me over for pizza and beer and bowl games , and we 're gon na be very aware of who 's watching us whenever we do run into each other . liam : i mean , yeah , okay . it 'll be like that for a minute , but in time -- sally : in time , the things that brought us together are no longer gon na be there . look , it 's okay . it 's how it has to be . but i do make this promise to you . if you need me for any reason at all , i will be there , and i do not give a damn who knows it . [ door closes ] coco : how about jacks ? do you have any jacks ? darlita : go fish . coco : [ scoffs ] i ca n't really concentrate on cards . darlita : yeah , me either . is sally gon na come home brokenhearted ? coco : well , how else can it go ? when you care about someone , you want them to have what they want , and sally knows that what liam wants is n't her . [ seagulls calling ] steffy : i ca n't do it , bill . i ca n't keep this secret any longer . bill : yes , you can . you 're a strong woman . we made a pact , steffy . steffy : i know ! but it 's wrong ! i 'm not being honest with my husband . liam : just have graphics come up with something . okay . uh , cool . okay , bye . hey . you 're home . steffy : are you working ? liam : uh , not breaking any productivity records , but , uh , yeah . you okay ? steffy : no . liam : something happen at work ? steffy : i did n't make it to work . liam : oh . well , what , then ? you -- you look not yourself . steffy : hypocrisy will do that to you . sally : please tell me you did n't let grams come over and trounce you in blackjack . coco : [ chuckles ] no . darlita came by . hey , i - i might have told her some personal things that she kind of already guessed . sally : coco , my life is an open book to you and you alone . coco : i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but she wo n't say anything . you know how much she adores you and stories involving kisses . hey , was liam happy to see you ? sally : well , he did n't slam the door in my face . but you should see his house . it is on a cliff in malibu . coco : did you run into steffy ? sally : no . no . i 'm trying to avoid trouble . i just -- i wanted to go over there to make sure that they actually were okay , and ... they are . i do n't know if liam was happy to see me , but he 's happy . maybe even happier than before , 'cause it sounds like the wife that came home to him was a new and improved steffy , if you can imagine that . steffy : this is gon na haunt me for the rest of my life . bill : it 'll haunt you even more knowing coming clean cost you your marriage . liam : i know it may seem like hypocrisy , but i had no idea she was coming over . steffy : who ? liam : sally . and i had every intention of telling you , i promise . steffy : i 'm not worried about you and sally . liam : oh . why am i a hypocrite ? steffy : no , you 're not . [ sighs ] what did she want ? liam : uh , well , you did n't work her over with brass knuckles at thanksgiving , so she thought something was wrong . i mean , you know how people are . they -- they do something they feel guilty about . they expect to be punished . maybe they even insist on it , think it 's gon na make them feel better . maybe it does , maybe it doesn't . but ... steffy : well , she 's out of luck , because my brass knuckles are at the cleaners . liam : well , she had you on a pedestal before . now you might go from princess to empress . [ laughs ] steffy : i 'm just sick of people looking at me like that . liam : yeah , well , it 's your fault . stop being so amazing . you know every time you pass someone in the hallway at forrester , they fall in love with you . hell , i fall in love with you every time you walk through the -- okay , you are really unhappy about something . steffy : it 's just so crazy how everything can just change . just a few words and what you had is just ... it 's gone . liam : who 's gone ? who 's gone ? i 'm not gone . steffy . whatever it is , you know you can -- you can tell me , right ? i mean , it ca n't be that bad . sally : have you ever gotten the sense that life is trying to give you a clue about what your future might be ? coco : you mean like a horoscope ? sally : no , like ... i 've always known that i never needed a man to make me happy . but these past few months , i have been really torn up about first thomas and now liam , and i -- honestly , i could not have picked up the pieces without you . but i just finally realized that the next time i let a man into my life , i know exactly what he has to be like . coco : i just -- i think you 've got it bad . sally : no , coco . no . i have got it great . look , there were things that i thought i saw in thomas that were n't really there , you know , and that 's not his fault . it happens . but i just do n't think i 'm ever gon na make that mistake again because now i know what to look for . and you do n't have to be sad for me . i 'm not . liam has brought nothing but good into my life , and now i know the person i have to be to deserve a man like that . someone who never gives up . coco : sally , you already are . sally : i just want to be stronger , you know ? i want to be someone who never gives up , no matter how bad things are . i mean , do you really think that steffy 's like , `` oh , i ca n't be who you want me to be , so i 'm just gon na give up `` ? coco : maybe when nobody 's listening . bill : 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 .

brooke : i ca n't believe eric was arrested . how 's he doing ? ridge : he 's angry . frustrated . the police wo n't see the shooting as just an accident . brooke : is there an update on deacon 's condition ? ridge : well , he made it through surgery , and that 's all i know . brooke : oh , honey . why do n't you come out to lunch with me ? take your mind off of these things for a little while . ridge : i 'd love to , but i have a meeting in a few minutes with jackie . brooke : i 'll miss you . ridge : and that was for what ? brooke : ahh , i just want you to know how much i love you . and how grateful i am that we 're going through this pregnancy together . we are still going through this together are n't we ? ridge : yeah . do you need to ask that ? brooke : i was just wondering if all those things that your mother said about me kind of got to you . ridge : logan , i am as committed to you and this little baby as ever . okay ? we 're going to raise our kids and live the life we were meant to live and if anybody does n't like that -- to hell with them . brooke : well , at least i can always tell the kids there were a couple of weeks in there , somewhere , where your mother did n't hate me . ridge : oh , do n't worry . she 'll come around . especially after we have this test and she realizes the baby is in fact mine . brooke : and that 's only a couple of days away . ridge : the sooner we can put this behind us the better . that 's for sure . you know what , my mother is such a sucker for kids . she 's probably back knitting that blanket for you right now . samantha : what was brooke thinking ? stephanie : she was n't all those tears and all that grief . she thought ridge was dead . boy , that was a riveting performance . and i thought , you know i thought that i saw in that woman 's heart , for the first time in my life . and i said to my self , she has feelings that really , really run deep . samantha : i 'm so sorry . i know how tough this must be on you , and if there 's anything that i can do -- stephanie : well , ridge is going to need you . he 's going to need help especially if this baby turns out not to be his . he 's going to need all the help he can get . brooke : you 're the last person i expected to see here . nick : hi . brooke : hi . you 're moving up in the world or are you just getting tired of chuck 's ?

brooke : yeah , it looks that way . ridge is looking forward to the baby and we 're just anticipating that everything is going to go the way we want it to . nick : well , there 's no reason to believe it wo n't . brooke : no . no reason at all . ridge : how is my favorite stepmother ? married life treating you okay ? jackie : oh , yeah everything i could have hoped for and more . ridge : what are you doing here when you could be off on some extravagantly outrageous honeymoon with massimo , huh ? do n't tell me my workaholic father has you back at the salt mines already . jackie : no , actually . i 'm not here on business . ridge : oh you 're not . why ? jackie : i 'm here to talk to you about the baby that brooke 's having and to find out what you plan to do . if it turns out to be nick 's . ridge : jackie , i ca n't save you a lot of time here . we do n't even need to have this conversation , because nick is not the baby 's father . jackie : really . you know that for sure ? then why are you having a paternity test ? ridge : to pacify everyone else . see , brooke and i really want to avoid having to answer all these questions like this . all the time . for the rest of our lives ! jackie : seems to me all you 're doing is avoiding . you refuse to acknowledge the possibility that brooke could have conceived the day that she and nicky made love . it 's -- ridge : but that 's not what they did , jackie . you see , they just ah -- shared some kind of comfort together . okay . that 's all it was . jackie : i do n't mean to imply that it was anything more or that my son does n't deeply regret what happened , because he does . but the fact remains , ridge , brooke is pregnant and nick could be responsible for that . ridge : jackie , what is it you want from me ? jackie : to hear you say that if the child is his , you 're prepared to step aside and let him raise it . nick : well , i 'm -- really glad everything worked out for you . brooke : not all of it . nick : you said that everything seemed to -- brooke : it 'll never be totally right again until you 're back in our lives . mine and ridge 's . nick : what are you talking about ? brooke : nick , you 're his brother . he loves you . nick : oh , please . i pretty much fixed that did n't i ? brooke : i 'll never believe that that connection is over . i i just ca n't believe that . nick : well then maybe you 're kidding yourself . i do n't want to do this . do me a favor , will you . if you see my mother , tell her i came by . brooke : do n't . do n't you walk away like this . nick : brooke . brooke : i refuse to let it end this way . samantha : i 'll do whatever i can for ridge . you know that ? stephanie : thank you , sam . i think he senses that you have his best interests at heart . and always have . samantha : well , it was because of that day that he picked up the football and told me to go long . [ both laugh ] yeah , he won me over right then and there . i mean , he 's my friend felicia 's older brother . cute older brother if remember correctly , you blushed every time he walked into the room other and he picked me for his team . stephanie : if samantha : oh , i did not . i did ? stephanie : um - hmm . and turned beet red . just the way you are now . sam -- you 're still in love with him . samantha : well , i -- guess there 's no use in trying to deny it . i have tried . that old feeling just comes back . whenever i spend time with ridge . except , now it 's -- stephanie : it 's not kid stuff anymore . well , these things you never know how they 're going to turn out . maybe it could turn into something wonderful . samantha : yeah , it 's wonderful , being in love with a married man ? stephanie : yes , but he 's married to the wrong woman . again . samantha : well , try telling him that . stephanie : maybe you should . samantha : me ? stephanie : well , you 've always been honest with one another . if there 's one thing that ridge appreciates it is honesty . samantha : you think that i should tell him that he 's with the wrong woman ? stephanie : why not ? samantha : well , because he might never speak to me again . stephanie : well , he might get angry for the moment , but of course he 'll speak to you again . he 's not going to stay angry . tell him the truth . samantha : i 'm going to . right now . stephanie : i wish you luck . ridge : jackie , i ca n't give you what you want to hear . jackie : you mean if the baby is nicky 's you wo n't let him raise it . ridge : i am not going to play a `` what if `` game . not unless i have to . jackie : look , i understand it 's painful . i really do . but you have to think about it . you owe it to brooke . you owe it to the baby . you 've got to plan for their future . whatever that is . and you also owe it to your brother . ridge : i do n't owe him a damn thing . not after he came on to my wife like he did . jackie : nicky could very well have saved brooke 's life . ca n't you at least give him that ? ridge : jackie , you 'll have to forgive me if i 'm not exactly charitable towards him these days . jackie : how are you feeling toward the baby ? `` charitable ? `` because that child deserves to be raised by his biological father . ridge : wait , wait , wait , wait . are you saying that a child ca n't be happy and well adjusted unless he is raised by his real dad , huh ? jackie : no , you know i do n't mean that . ridge : good . because look at me . i could n't have been luckier to be raised by eric . jackie : you sure that 's true ? what about all those years you missed with massimo ? you 're never going to get those back . you 're never going to know what it was like to -- go fishing with him . go to a ball game . have his arms around you at night after a bad dream . both you and nicky were deprived those memories . is that what you want for this child ? another marone generation denied its birthright . another marone father without his child . ridge : what ? are you asking me to sacrifice my life with brooke ? jackie : is n't that what nick 's done ? stepped a side , given up the woman he loves . ridge : oh , come on , jackie . he knew he did n't stand a chance with brooke . jackie : did n't he ? my son was prepared to leave everything , his home , his family . all so you could have peace of mind . if it does turn out , ridge , that this child is n't yours . i hope , i pray , that you can be half the man that nick is . and walk away . nick : i 'm not coming between you and forrester again . brooke : that is not going to happen . nick : i 'll happen if you push this . brooke : nick , please . would you sit down . let 's talk . nick : i do n't want to sit down and i do n't want to be here . brooke : i am going to see to it that you and ridge make peace if it 's the last thing i do . nick : god , you are so incredibly stubborn . brooke : i thought that was one thing that you loved about me . nick : one of the many things . now , if you were forrester , would you forgive me knowing how i feel about you . brooke : well , he knows how i feel . that i 'm his . completely , totally . nick , we crossed the line and now we have to deal with the consequences . but that does n't me that we have to pay for the rest of our lives . you have been running for a long time . it 's time for you to come home and stay .

[ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't think it 's too late for you and liam . after everything you two have been through together , just do n't give up now . hope : i 've tried . but y - you know , both people have to want it , and i -- i still have some pride . ( sighs ) brooke : just be careful , honey . i do n't want you to settle for anything less than true love . hope : you do n't -- you do n't think i could have that with thomas ? brooke : ( sighs ) i - i do n't know . maybe someday . hope : liam 's made his choice . ( sighs ) he 's staying with his wife , an- i have to move on . brooke : oh , honey . [ scene_break ] katie : do n't you feel it ? you must when they 're together . liam : but it 's only memory . it 's memory . it 's -- it 's nothing that either of them would pursue . katie : ( sniffles ) liam : i mean , he 's -- he 's recommitted to you , and -- and steffy , i -- i can feel how much she loves me . that 's -- that 's not an act . i mean , she would n't -- uh , with my dad ? i mean , there 's -- there 's no way , katie . th - there 's just no way . even the thought of them together , i mean , that 's a deal - breaker . that 's the end of both of our marriages .

( sighs ) you 're my father - in - law now , and a great one , at that . you know , liam and i would n't be married if it were n't for you , and i 'll always be grateful for that . bill : well , i hope my son appreciates you , steffy forrester . steffy : uh , steffy spencer . bill : oh , that 's right -- my bad . spencer -- steffy spencer . oh , damn it ! steffy : oh , here . hold on . hold on one sec . bill : ( groans ) steffy : here , here , wait a minute . here . now ... | bill tells katie that she will have to put her negative feelings for steffy aside . she and steffy are both spencers now and he will make the decisions that are in the best interest of the family . this is his company and he will decide how it is run . there is no compromise now . it 's over for liam and hope so she must accept this marriage and steffy into the family . she huffs off when he mentions working together and even vacationing together with steffy and liam . thomas surprises hope with a room full of flowers and lighted candles and a romantic dinner . brooke spies them kissing . she manages to send thomas on an errand so she can talk to hope alone . she cautions hope not to give up on liam and make too hasty a decision again . katie goes straight to liam and tells him that she is not all right . it seems that bill values steffy 's opinion over hers now . liam feels for her , but agrees with bill . steffy is not going anywhere so katie needs to accept this more readily . he reminds her that it does bother him that steffy and his dad once had strong feelings for each other , but he does n't want to hear that any more . and he understands that bill helped steffy stop the gondola . they did that to protect him from hope . she cries that she ca n't get that image out of her mind . liam does n't think they will act on this feeling . it would be the end of both of their marriages . bill tells steffy what a great daughter - in - law she is and accidentally spills a drink on his shirt . she rushes to his aid in cleaning the spot and bill suddenly has these romantic thoughts . |

[ laughter ] that 's so mean ! caroline : what ? wait . what about boys ' names ? ivy : hey , i 've -- i 've always loved dashiell . hope : oh , that 's kind of -- that 's interesting . i could call him dash . aly : fancy . but i 'm -- i 'm kind of partial to oliver . hope : oh , my -- could you imagine ? [ laughter ] maya : wyatt jr . hope : oh , wyatt jr. little baby wyatt . donna : or by the grandfather 's name . pam : not deacon . donna : no , no , no , no , no . the other grandfather . baby dollar bill . katie : no . no . this world has plenty of bill spencers , thank you . hope : yeah , donna , i 'm so sorry , but that 's a hard pass . i am not naming my future child bill spencer . [ laughter ] ivy : hey , but you are -- you are gon na find out the sex , right ? hope : yeah , we are . i do n't think i can wait much longer . i want to know . [ laughs ] pam : you know , speaking of waiting , i should wait 'cause we 're about to do presents , but i just wanted to give you this . hope : aww . pam : i 've been working on this ever since i found out you got pregnant . hope : yeah ? pam : i hope you like it . hope : oh , my god . oh , my gosh ! look at this ! pam : it 's gon na be a wise baby . hope : oh ! oh , my god . did you make this ? pam : i did . i made it myself . the -- the crocheting of the owl took like ages . hope : i love this . aly : oh , my god ! ivy : what ? katie : oh , my god . pam : what are you doing here ? katie : how did you get in ? pam : you were n't invited . quinn : i just wanted to be here . share this experience with you . donna : have you been watching all this ? pam : do you want me to call the police ? quinn : i wo n't cause any problems , i promise . ivy : no , you wo n't , because you 're leaving . quinn : hope , please stop shutting me out . katie : hope wanted you to stay away . quinn : i ca n't . i needed to be a part of this . i 'm appealing to you , hope , one last time , from one mother to another . i did n't have any family when wyatt was born . i raised him all by myself . i did the very best i could . and -- and i was a mother that wyatt could be proud of . but i know i regressed , and i threatened liam with a sword , i pushed ivy in the -- in the river . but i have learned from all of that . i really have . i would never cause you or my grandchild any harm . i just want to love you both so much . can any child have too much love ? please , hope . katie : okay . that 's enough . you need to leave . hope : wait . stay . mom . | hope tells liam that she wants to be supportive . she wants him to move on . she is glad he did not lie to her , that 's all good . he can tell her anything . they both wish the best for each other . she takes comfort that he is with someone like ivy . he deserves that . she tells him she is excited about the baby , about wyatt and their future . he says yes the baby makes all of this bearable . he knows how much she always wanted that . and he sees her connecting with it already and that is the way it should be . she has that glow . she says she is already in love with this baby and that is the one good thing that came out of all of this . he asks to be able to feel the baby and she lets him . he asks about quinn and hope says she is the last person she would invite . she will be nowhere around . deacon sees quinn dressing up and hopes she is not going to crash the baby shower . the best thing she can do is stay away from his daughter . he 'd like her to stay home and be with him . she leaves anyway telling him to save her some whiskey . |
ivy : this is none of your business , steffy . steffy : trust me -- i do n't want to be involved . there 's plenty of other things i 'd rather be doing , but wyatt is my friend , and i care about him . ivy : ugh ! this is so typical of you to find something just to hold over me again . steffy : typical of me ? ! ivy , you cheated on wyatt ! i overheard you talking to thomas , and then thomas confirmed it . my only question now is when are you gon na tell wyatt ? because if you do n't , i will . thomas : so , you want me to stay away from ivy . is that what you 're telling me ? wyatt : yeah . thomas : oh , look . it 's a family affair . come on in . wyatt : just stop flirting with ivy . that 's all i 'm asking . stop making moves on my girlfriend . ivy 's already told you she 's not available , she 's not interested in you , and she 's my girlfriend . so back off . bill : do you hear that ? katie : silence . bill : he must be taking a little nap -- fell asleep . katie : ohh . you know he sleeps like a rock , just like his father . bill : yeah . well , his father 's not gon na be doing any sleeping right now . katie : oh , no ? bill : and you 're not gon na get any , either -- sleep , i mean . katie : i always thought sleep was overrated . bill : this is what i needed -- a little one - on - one time with my wife . katie : it 's nice to spend some time -- quiet time -- alone . bill : not too quiet . katie : [ laughs ] it 's got everything . it 's got everything in here . even the much - maligned `` the phantom mascara `` and `` jar jar blush . `` of course , i 'm a grown man . i would never wear this make - up , but darth vader would . katie : i 'm liking the new you . bill : the extra hours i 'm putting in at the gym ? is that what you mean ? katie : [ laughing ] no . bill : [ grunts ] katie : no , although your biceps are quite impressive . they re -- they are . bill : all right . i 'm a little sensitive . katie : no . i 've just -- i 've noticed a difference lately , and it 's nice . bill : you know what ? i 've been spending way too much time worrying about liam and wyatt making the right decisions , finding the right woman . all the concerns -- they 're just finally starting to disappear . i think my boys are -- i think they 're getting their acts together . katie : good . wyatt : ivy is committed to me -- we 're practically living together -- so why do n't you just go find another woman -- someone who 's single , someone who you might actually have a chance with ? because ivy is off limits . she does n't want anything to do with you . liam : well , i think you 've made your point , wyatt . i mean , nobody wants to think that their relationship is being threatened . it 's not a very nice feeling . and i 'm sure thomas would agree . thomas : look , i 'm not trying to cause problems between you and me , but i just do n't get what ivy sees in you . i get what you see in her . she 's a smart , beautiful , sophisticated woman . i hope you know how lucky you are . steffy : just admit it , ivy . you and thomas were alone at my grandfather 's house . wyatt was in san francisco . thomas went into your bedroom , and one thing led to another . ivy : steffy , nothing happened . steffy : but you guys made out , and you did n't seem to push him away . ivy : it was a mistake , steffy . i 've told thomas it will never happen again . steffy : i hope you mean that . but you ca n't erase the past . ivy : if i could take all of this back , i would , but i ca n't . steffy : ivy , i know you feel bad about this . but wyatt is your boyfriend . you should tell him the truth . he deserves to know . ivy : steffy , this is n't the sort of person i am . i do n't cheat . i ca n't even believe i 've betrayed wyatt . i ca n't believe i 'm in this position . steffy : ivy , we all have regrets . we make mistakes , bad decisions . i 'm not trying to attack you , and i 'm not trying to make you feel bad . i 'm just standing up for wyatt ... because he has no idea what 's going on behind his back , and if i were him , i would want to know . would n't you ? see ? it 's only fair . ivy : i know that , and i know that you probably do n't believe this , but i am committed to wyatt and he is the man i want to be with . steffy : okay . then why did you kiss my brother ? ivy : ugh ! i do n't know ! i do n't know . it 's just -- there 's just something about thomas , you know ? i got -- i got caught up in moments with him . but that does n't change my feelings for wyatt and how deeply i care for him . steffy : wyatt trusts you . you were unfaithful . ivy : steffy , i feel awful . steffy : wyatt 's been honest with you . you need to be honest with him . tell him . ivy : yeah . i will -- right now . steffy : really ? ivy : yes . i 'm gon na do it -- not you . he 's my boyfriend , this is my relationship , and you need to let me do this by myself . bill : so , are you finally willing to admit that steffy 's the right woman for liam ? katie : ohh , and we were having such a nice time . bill : listen , i know you have your reservations . katie : no , no , no , no . you know what ? i 'm done with all that . liam loves her , and that 's all that matters . bill : well , in that case , what do you think about them getting married right here on our grounds ? katie : i think that they should get married whenever and wherever they want to . bill : [ chuckles ] my boy . before you know it , he 's gon na be a married man . liam : hey . did you get those comps i sent you ? steffy : no . no , but i , uh -- i did something else . liam : what ? steffy : okay , just remember that you love me and you just proposed to me . liam : should i be sitting down for this ? steffy : i tried not to say anything , okay ? i really , really did . liam : what did you do ? steffy : you know how you told me to stay out of ivy and wyatt 's business ? liam : yeah . steffy : well , after you left the office , ivy came in the room , and then she -- liam : oh , no . no . steffy , you did n't tell her you know about thomas ? ohh . wyatt : i 'm kind of getting the feeling that you 're not taking me very seriously here . um , in fact , i still have n't heard you say that you 're gon na drop this whole thing and stop this stupid game of pursuing my girlfriend . thomas : hmm ? are we still talking about this ? wyatt : ha . my thoughts exactly . i think this is getting old , do n't you ? ivy 's not interested in you . do n't you think it 's time to give it a rest ? thomas : you know what ? ivy : you 're both still in here . wyatt : [ sighs ] thomas : yeah . i was just telling wyatt how lucky he is to have you . if you 'll excuse me ... ivy : okay . wyatt : hopefully , i got through to him and then we can all just move on with our lives , you know ? what ? what is it ? ivy : it 's thomas . bill : you know , if you really think about it , liam has had a pretty rough road . the way his marriage ended to steffy was pretty tragic . all the drama with miss goody two shoes ... katie : okay , i know you 're not talking about my niece . bill : katie , uh , you got to admit , i mean , hope put liam and wyatt through the wringer . katie : [ sighs ] okay . they 've both been through a lot , sure -- especially liam . bill : well , i 'm glad for him . i 'm glad he 's finally settling down . he deserves some happiness -- some happiness ... like this . katie : mm . bill : i just hope that he is half as happy as i am . katie : you really mean that , do n't you ? bill : i do . steffy : you 're not mad , are you ? liam : well [ scoffs ] i thought we agreed you were n't gon na get involved . steffy : yeah . i was n't planning on it . i was gon na keep my mouth shut . and then ivy came in to the room , and then i just blurted it out . liam : oh , what -- what did you say specifically ? steffy : i told her that i got a vibe form them at thanksgiving and that i overheard her talking to thomas . it 's not like i attacked her . i actually handled it pretty graciously . liam : okay , okay , but what is the point of letting her know that you know about thomas ? it 's none of our business , steffy ! it 's not our place . steffy : i was looking out for your brother ! wyatt needs to know what ivy 's been up to . liam : fine . what did -- what did she say when you confronted her ? steffy : well , she denied it at first , and then she realized she could n't -- that thomas confirmed everything was true . so i told her to tell wyatt and if she did n't , then ... i would . liam : oh , my god , steffy ! steffy : she never would have confessed ! she needed a little pressure ! and i 'm happy that i did it because she promised she 'd tell wyatt . liam : okay . all right . great . that 's done . what time is the meeting with the south africans ? steffy : even though she 's completely untrustworthy . i highly doubt she 'll go through with it . liam : steffy ! you got to let this go . you have to let ivy be the one to tell wyatt . promise me . i 'm serious . wyatt : what about thomas ? ivy : well , it 's just we 've gotten a lot closer lately . um ... i think when the light fell , it really bonded us , and we 've also been working very closely on the line together , so i think that that 's why there 's some , uh -- some -- wyatt : okay . [ laughing ] ivy , look -- you do n't need to explain . i get it . we all know that thomas has been sniffing around , and i ca n't blame him . i mean , look at you ! you 're gorgeous , you 're gifted , you 're talented , you 're smart . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : like the way you are with me -- just so trusting and loving -- i have never felt that in any other relationship ever . so do n't do that . do n't take the blame for what thomas is doing right now . just a second ago , i told him -- and i made it very clear -- that you are in a serious relationship . ivy : look , it 's not all thomas ' fault , wyatt . wyatt : ivy , it 's thomas ' problem for misreading you . he 's so used to the models just drooling over him that he just assumes that everybody 's interested in him . but let 's just stop talking about thomas , okay ? no more talking about thomas , especially not today . ivy : wyatt , i just -- wyatt : why , do you ask ? [ both chuckle ] wyatt : because it 's a special day , okay ? i was just thinking we 'd get some food from our favorite indian place , little bottle of wine , maybe , you know , jump in the ocean . hmm ? ivy : yeah . i mean ... sounds great , but we really -- we really have to talk . wyatt : then , yeah , let 's talk over dinner . ivy : okay . wyatt : yeah ? ivy : yeah . you 're such a wonderful , kind man . i really hope you know how much i appreciate you . i 'm so happy with you . wyatt : i kind of have an idea . [ chuckles ] katie : we should definitely do this more often . i know i have n't had a chance to tell you , but i really appreciate what you said at thanksgiving . it was so wonderful to be there , surrounded by all that love and warmth . it 's amazing i did n't start crying into my mashed potatoes . bill : [ chuckles ] katie : i love you . you always make me feel appreciated and valued , and ... i ca n't thank you enough for that . bill : i love you , too . and this new , improved version that you like so much -- katie : mm - hmm ? bill : it 's just a by - product of having such a phenomenal wife . katie : i am so happy we 're here ... in each other 's arms , with our beautiful boy asleep down the hall . bill : [ chuckles ] katie : it does n't get any better than this . bill : no , it does n't . [ knock on door ] ivy : hey . liam : hey . ivy : thanks for coming . liam : sure . i was , uh ... surprised , to say the least , to get your text . ivy : yeah . well , i would n't have texted you if it was n't very important . liam : everything all right ? ivy : [ sighs ] look , it 's , um -- it 's about your brother and thomas . something happened between thomas and i . liam : yeah . steffy told me . ivy : great . look , it did n't go very far . you know , we did n't sleep -- liam : yeah , i know . but ... regardless ... ivy : i do n't even have a reason . there 's not even an excuse for what i did . liam : does wyatt know ? ivy : no . i 'm telling him tonight . he 's planned this amazing evening for us , and he has no idea the bomb i 'm about to drop on our relationship . liam : oof . i was [ chuckles ] i was just with him . he was reading thomas the riot act for flirting with you . ivy : great . great . ca n't wait to tell him it went beyond flirting . liam : yeah . i imagine he 'll be pretty shocked . ivy : am i doing the right thing by telling him ? i mean , steffy said if i do n't say anything , then she 's gon na tell him . liam : she 's not gon na say anything . i asked her not to . steffy : thank you . i mean , steffy does have a point . i - if we 're ever gon na get past this , i just have to put it all out there . ca n't keep secrets from wyatt . i just have to hope he can forgive me , i guess . look , liam , i - i asked you over here because you 're his brother and i really need to know . am i gon na lose him ? wyatt : have you seen her tablet in here ? steffy : hold on . wait . is n't -- is n't that private ? wyatt : ivy and i do n't keep things from each other . wyatt : hey . uh ... [ clears throat ] so , i 'm just placing the orders with the suppliers . i did n't know if you wanted to check -- take a look at these before i send them . steffy : no , it 's good . i 'm sure it 's fine . wyatt : wow . okay . that was ... easy -- almost too easy . what 's up with you ? steffy : no , nothing . i 'm just -- i 'm just , uh , busy . that 's all . wyatt : okay . well , i 'm gon na take off early . tonight 's kind of a special night for ivy and me . steffy : i hope ivy appreciates everything you do for her . sometimes i wonder if you know your girlfriend as well as you think you do . wyatt : okay . i thought everything was all good with you and ivy . you guys talked and now you agreed to try and be nice to each other . steffy : yeah . i thought so , too , but ... i guess i still have issues with her . wyatt : okay . well , whatever it is , like , do n't get all caught up in it . it 's not healthy . it 's not worth it . steffy : you 're looking out for me ? wyatt : yeah . i mean , you know , i guess so . steffy : i 'm trying to look out for you , too . wyatt : okay . how so ? steffy : just in general , i guess . wyatt : this is about your brother , is n't it ? look ... i know your brother is the resident playboy here . i also know that he 's been hitting on ivy . but that does n't matter to me , because she 's loyal to me . and i find it very cute that you 're concerned about me -- i really do -- but it 's not necessary . and as much as i want him to stop doing that , he can hit on ivy as much as he wants , because she 's just gon na shut him down . steffy : what makes you so sure about that ? wyatt : because she 's not that kind of person -- that she 'd cross a line and betray me . she has too much respect for herself and for me . despite what you think , she 's -- she 's great , okay ? she would n't jeopardize what we have together . steffy : then maybe you should talk to her . wyatt : what is that supposed to mean ? steffy : i just think you should talk to your girlfriend . wyatt : steffy , what are you implying here ? steffy : ivy promised she would tell you . wyatt : tell me what ? steffy : wyatt , i admire you , and i hate seeing you being treated this way . wyatt : what way ? ! steffy , tell me ! whatever you think you know , just tell me ! steffy : it 's about -- it 's about ivy and my brother . she 's been unfaithful . ivy cheated on you with thomas . | steffy tells ivy that she is busy and there are things she should be doing but wyatt is her friend and she wo n't stand by while she is cheating on him . ivy needs to tell wyatt or she will . she admits what steffy knows that she was alone in the house with thomas . it was a mistake and will never happen again . she is not that kind of person ; she does not cheat . in the end she agrees that she will tell wyatt right now without steffy being involved . thomas plays coy and asks wyatt if he is telling him to stay away from ivy . liam walks in and thomas invites him to come in and make this a family affair . wyatt repeats again that he needs to back off as ivy is not available . they are practically living together so thomas needs to go find another woman . thomas makes a slam that he does n't know what ivy sees in wyatt . nowhere in there does wyatt hear thomas say he will back off and leave his girlfriend alone . ivy walks in and is not happy to see them both together . thomas leaves but says he was just telling wyatt how lucky he was . wyatt hopes he got through to him and they can now move on with their lives . ivy admits she has a problem with thomas . bill and katie continue their love fest in bed . she is glad to hear that he thinks his sons are getting their lives together . she wo n't go as far as saying steffy is the right woman for liam but she does want him to be happy . liam goes back to ridge 's office and is sorry to hear that steffy confronted ivy about thomas . he had asked her repeatedly to stay out of their business . she hopes he is not too mad at her ; ivy came in and it just tumbled out of her mouth . but she agrees with liam , even though ivy is untrustworthy , she needs to be the one to tell wyatt the truth . so either ivy tells wyatt or she will . |
shauna : every time you kiss me , i feel like i 'm flying . ridge : well , do n't fly too far . i like having you right here . donna : do you feel as good as you look ? i mean , look at you . brooke : no one would believe that you recently had a kidney transplant . katie : well , i do . i feel fantastic . and i 'm just so happy and feel very blessed to have had a second chance at life . donna : third , but who 's counting ? brooke : you deserve all the chances . katie : i 'm grateful for all of them . i 'm just kind of in love with my life right now . i -- i , you know , bill and i are doing great , and i get to watch my son grow and change , and it 's all thanks to flo . brooke : honey , i 'm grateful , too , but i can still hold what flo did against her . katie : i 'm just happy i have a new lease on life . i 've never been more appreciative of my time with bill and with my son . bill : so which one of the members of the spencer brain trust can guess why i 've asked you here ? justin : pretty safe bet is to welcome liam home . bill : aha ! genius . you see , that 's why i pay justin the big bucks . liam : feels like i never left . wyatt : yeah . bill : ha ha ! come here . liam : yeah . okay . bill : welcome back where you belong , son . liam : okay , okay . all right , all right . wyatt : we missed you , bro . liam : ah , thank you . thank you . it 's good to be back . wyatt : uh , and just in a practical sense , uh , how 's this gon na work ? like , what -- what job are we gon na get ? bill : wyatt , wyatt , come on . will you just relax ? i want to savor this moment . i 've got my two older boys by my side , my best friend . you 're all gon na help me run the company . i could n't be happier . justin : you 're not getting soft on us , are you ? bill : soft ? hell , no . but nostalgic ? [ chuckles ] i 've got a lot to be grateful for . emmy : welcome back , liam . liam : hey , emmy . how are you ? thank you . what -- what is -- what is -- what is this ? emmy : survival kit , compiled by yours truly . liam : aw ! emmy : first we have the celebratory balloon because it is a joyous occasion , by the way . liam : sure . yeah . emmy : and working here can jack up your stress levels , so in this basket we have antacids , lemon balm , green tea , a lavender soy candle , a flask . wyatt : oh . i got to get me one of those . justin : where do i sign for mine ? liam : it 's mine . i love this . bill : what have i done ? i 've got larry , curly , and moe back together again . [ making three stooges noises ] ohh ... liam : wise guy . [ laughter ] liam : this is so , so thoughtful , and trust me , and survival kit 's gon na get a lot of mileage here . now , does this thing come pre - loaded ? emmy : okay , okay . i 've been poking fun here , too , but to be honest , bill has meddled a whole lot since the last time you worked here . justin : well , let 's not get carried away . wyatt : yeah , he 's slightly better than he used to be . bill : what are you talking about ? emmy : the man can do no wrong in my eyes . bill : see , there you go . i can always count on my emmy . emmy : and i 'm counting the days until you and i can -- was that out loud ? bill : as always , emmy . emmy : [ chuckles ] bill : all right , listen up . uh , something i need to say . life has , uh , well , it 's given me perspective . liam , i could have lost you . katie could have died . but miracle of miracles , i 've got you both here , along with wyatt , justin , and emmy . i could n't ask for a better crew , a better family . everything is falling into place . brooke : so it 's official . thomas and hope are co - parenting douglas . donna : thomas signed the custody papers ? brooke : finally . katie : how did she manage to make that happen ? brooke : well , she is his weak spot , and his obsession with her usually is pretty disturbing and scary , but not this time . she is officially a legal guardian of douglas , and she gets to make decisions . katie : how does ridge feel about that ? because i know he was against joint custody . brooke : ridge is n't too happy about many things these days , especially things that involve me . donna : um , is everything all right ? brooke : [ sighs ] no . ridge and i are n't together anymore . shauna : how did this become my life ? you know , the being in beverly hills , being here with you , such an incredible , amazing , handsome man . ridge : oh , do n't stop . keep flattering me . shauna : do n't think i ca n't keep going . still bill : wait . you 're -- you 're telling me that hope actually got thomas to sign the custody papers . liam : yeah . yeah . hope is officially douglas ' adoptive mother . bill : well , the dressmaker ca n't be too happy about that . justin : you 're not exactly jumping for joy , either . liam : look , i -- i love douglas . i love hanging out with him . i love ... i just ... you know what ? i 'm not gon na get into it right now because we 're celebrating , right ? today 's a happy day . we -- we 're all -- wyatt , wyatt , how are things going with sally ? are you engaged ? have you picked out a ring yet ? wyatt : uh , yes and no . liam : why not ? wyatt : i -- i 'm not sure . bill : you 're finally coming to your senses . what ? i just think you could do a lot better that sally spectra . wyatt : oh . i 'm not offended at all . i just happen to love her . justin : so what are you waiting for ? i 'm just saying . wyatt : i -- i do n't know . we 've just -- we 've been really busy lately . she 's designing steffy 's new line . i 've been working my butt off here . i just -- i do n't know . something -- something feels like it 's off , and it 's something i just need to figure out . katie : what do you mean that you and ridge are n't together anymore ? donna : this is because of thomas ? brooke : we 've had some troubles lately . i ca n't remember the last time ridge and i went more than 20 minutes without getting into a fight . katie : okay , well , maybe you and ridge should agree that thomas is not a great topic of conversation . brooke : how ? if there was ever an elephant in the room . katie : i do n't know , but it 's got to be a better solution than ending your relationship . brooke : it 's not my choice . donna : oh , my god . he must have really been mad . katie : what about you ? are you upset ? brooke : well , i 'm frustrated . he 's not listening to me at all , and that 's never happened before . i do n't like it . donna : is he still at eric 's ? brooke : yes , he is , along with thomas and sometimes douglas when he 's not here with me or down at the cabin with hope and liam . donna : uh , they 're not the only residents . brooke : what do you mean ? donna : i just spoke to pam , and apparently shauna fulton is in their guesthouse . brooke : excuse me ? donna : and shauna has made no secret of her -- i do n't know what you call it , her , uh , fascination with ridge . katie : do you think that shauna maneuvered her way into the guesthouse because she knew that ridge was going to be there ? brooke : yes , of course . that 's exactly something that shauna would do -- using this hard time between me and ridge to make advances on my husband . ridge : i do n't know . you just -- you -- you make me smile . you 're so full of joy and wonder . when i 'm around you , just , um , all my worries disappear . shauna : i love having that effect on you . e 's -- there 's no real reason for us to hesitate . wyatt : i do n't know . it 's weird . there 's -- there 's no real reason for us to hesitate . sally and i genuinely love each other . it 's just ... bill : i got it . it -- it 's the universe or , you know , whatever , telling you the same thing that i 've been saying , which is sally is not the woman you should marry . wyatt : why are you so opposed to this ? you victimized sally , not the other way around . bill : oh , come on . that 's ancient history . and listen , i 've got nothing much against sally . and if you end up marrying her , i 'll welcome her into the family . i just think there 's something better for you out there . wyatt : oh , do you -- do you even understand how insulting that sounds ? bill : what ? i 'm just keeping it real with my son , that 's all . liam : and by the way , better than what , exactly ? 'cause sally 's awesome . she 's gorgeous , she 's smart , funny , talented . justin : guys , she was head over heels about ... liam : and she 's in love with wyatt . wyatt : yeah . liam : i mean , we should all be very grateful that sally is in my brother 's life . he is a very lucky guy . i think he knows that . wyatt : yeah . i do . liam : okay . so why the hesitation ? wyatt : i do n't know . i just -- i -- i feel like ... something is holding sally back . sally : oh . sorry . am i early ? wyatt : hey . no . we 're not actually having a meeting . it 's like a `` welcome back , liam , `` thing . sally : yes . i heard about your defection . traitor . liam : well , ha . yeah . um , it was time . sally : well , i will miss working with you and our talks and your sage advice . liam : well , i will miss working with you , too , ms . spectra . bill : okay , this has been great , uh , but justin and i have some contracts to go over . liam : uh , yeah . uh , i 'm gon na get settled in . sally : well , if you change your mind . bill : he won't . maybe you two lovebirds could come up with a timeline . or ... maybe you could put a ring on it , wyatt , if you 're serious . katie : but you went to ridge , and you confessed what you thought had happened . brooke : but for ridge , it was too late because thomas had already resurfaced , and he did n't care what hope and i were going through , and all because of thomas ' manipulations once again . katie : this is all a lot to deal with . are you okay ? brooke : i do n't know . i 'm just reliving the whole thing . i 'm -- i 'm reevaluating . maybe i was too hard on thomas . maybe i was just being too strong with ridge . katie : are you kidding me ? thomas faked his own death . donna : and not saying how you feel is being dishonest to ridge . katie : ridge -- donna : and yourself . katie : ... does not want to end your marriage . this can not possibly be permanent . brooke : the fact that this is happening just proves how far apart we 've really grown . i mean , douglas was in danger from thomas , so what was i supposed to do , not speak up ? katie : you did the right thing . brooke : i do n't know . i mean , there 's one thing maybe i should n't have done . i should n't have taken off my ring when thomas and ridge moved douglas out . that 's where i drew the line . and i think that that was a mistake . a mistake that could have ended my marriage . ridge : okay . shauna : [ chuckles ] ridge : ahem . shauna : i wo n't be offended if you want to take things slow . you 're the guy i 've been searching for all these years , so it does n't have to be rushed . whatever speed you want . ridge : it 's just a little soon , you know . shauna : i understand . we both have to want it , or it 's no good . just do n't go . stay here and be with me . that 's enough . ridge : come here . hey guys this is my friend barry . wyatt : uh , ahem , you look beautiful . sally : you always say that . wyatt : well , i tell you no lies . sally : i feel like i walked in on something . wyatt : beautiful and perceptive . well -- thank you . sally : mm - hmm . wyatt : um , we were just -- we were talking about us . sally : like `` us `` us ? wyatt : yeah . uh , just so you know , i -- i am -- i am 1,000 % committed to you , to -- to this . but there 's just -- there 's -- there 's been something that 's been ... holding me back from putting a ring on your finger . and i do n't know what or why , and i want to marry you . i absolutely do . sally : see , i like that . say that at the ceremony . `` do you take this woman ? `` `` i absolutely do . `` wyatt : [ laughs ] and i -- i will , uh , if we ever get that nailed down . um , i just ... i feel like there has n't been a big push from you to make that happen . sally : yeah , but is n't it unattractive for a woman to hound her man about a wedding date ? wyatt : okay , first up , you could never be unattractive to me . all right ? sally : well , then , are we doing this or not , liam ? wyatt : uh ... what did -- what did you say ? sally : i said , are we doing this or not ? wyatt : no . uh , like ... after , uh , that part . sally : what do you mean ? wyatt : liam . sally : [ scoffs ] what about him ? wyatt : uh , you just -- you just called me liam . sally : no , i didn't . wyatt : yeah , you did , sally . you -- you did . why ? or do we both know the answer to that ? brooke : thomas is ridge 's son . i should have taken that into consideration . i should have been a little more gentle with my approach . i used to be that way . i do n't know why i 'm not now . i mean , every time thomas ' name came up , i 'd get angry and i 'd want to fight . i sent ridge out that front door to go live someplace else . i should n't have done that . katie : there was nothing you could do about that . ridge had it in his mind that he wanted to have all the forrester men under one roof , four generations of forrester men that were gon na somehow fix thomas . there was nothing you could have done to stop that . donna : have you tried to reach out to him ? brooke : yes . i did . i tried calling him , tried texting him . nothing . no response . katie : maybe he just needs a little time to think . maybe it 's just a little too much too soon . he needs to realize that he does n't want to end your marriage . that 's just an emotional response . it 's not really what he wants . brooke : that probably wo n't change anything anyway . i mean , i 'm not gon na change the way i feel about thomas . i 'll never forgive him for what he did to my daughter , how he stole those precious moments from hope and beth and how he manipulated my daughter into a loveless marriage . thomas is a monster , and ridge does n't see that . and that 's where we 're at an impasse . and thomas just keeps getting in the way . and shauna . shauna is taking advantage of it all . ridge : you understand , right ? shauna : you do n't have to explain . i get it . i just want to be a good place for you , a place where you want to be and where you can just have fun and be yourself . and i really meant what i said . this moment is enough . well , for now . ridge : you really are beautiful . i 'm so grateful you 're in my life . you 've given me something i did n't even know i was missing . shauna : i know things are complicated for you right now . and i just want you to know i do n't have any expectations . i am good wherever we land . i 'm sure it 's quite obvious , um , and you do n't have to say anything back . this is something that i have felt for a while now . i love you . | ridge and shauna exchange sweet words after kissing . shauna is amazed at how great her life has been lately . ridge tells her that she makes him smile and makes all of his worries disappear . she assures him that it 's enough just to be there with him and that he can take things slowly . he agrees , saying it 's a little soon . they sit on the couch , her leaning in his arms , holding each others ' hands . they talk some more about their new relationship , and then she tells him that she loves him . meanwhile , brooke has katie and donna over to her house . brooke and donna tell katie how great she looks ( after her transplant ) . katie feels great and it enjoying her life with bill and will . katie is grateful to flo , but brooke wo n't forgive flo for what she did to hope . brooke tells them that hope is now co - parenting douglas with thomas . they 're shocked that he signed the papers . when ridge 's name comes up , brooke also tells them that they are n't together any more . she confides that all they do is fight over thomas . brooke gets very annoyed when donna tells her that shauna is living at the forrester guest house . they all figure that shauna is making a play for ridge . brooke questions whether she is doing the right thing , but her sisters assure her that thomas is the one to blame , not her . brooke still maintains that she made one mistake , which was to take off her ring . they discuss it some more . brooke tells them that she has been trying to contact ridge , but he wo n't answer her calls or texts . she knows that shauna is taking advantage of the situation . |
brooke : voting your father out of office , ridge ? you sure you want to do that ? ridge : you make it sound like i have a choice . brooke : we all have choices . ridge : but it has to be done . not just for the well - being of this company , either . for the future of it . brooke : and what about your father ? and the well - being of the family ? replacing eric as ceo is -- ridge : he 'll be ceo emeritus . brooke : that is a powerless position . ridge : oh , logan , you know i do n't want to hurt my father . i love and respect him so much . brooke : and he feels the same way about you . but i 'm afraid after the board meeting today , he 's just going to see it as an attack . ridge : what i 'm really doing is protecting him . not just from bad business decisions now , but from fallout that could happen down the road . fallout that could be devastating not only for forrester creations , but for this whole family . why am i the only one that sees this ? brooke : you have to know what this is gon na do to your father . ridge : look , i know this is not going be easy for dad to understand -- or to accept . that 's why i 'm going to talk to him alone before the meeting -- try and help him understand why this has to be done . and that it wo n't affect anything between us -- if we do n't let it . and i intend to make damn sure we do n't . [ scene_break ] eric : megan tells me that this board meeting is still on for today . you were so convinced that ridge was gon na cancel it . stephanie : he may still . eric : did you talk to him today ? stephanie : i tried , but he did n't take the call . eric : well , that does n't sound good . thorne : which can only mean one thing . ridge is n't gon na let this go . stephanie : what ? using your name on the spectra logo ? thorne : i 'm sure he was up all night stewing about this . eric : well , look , the least we can do is hear him out if he is that upset about it . all right ? look , he 's our son , too . and nobody loves this company more than he does . stephanie : and he loves you , too . do n't lose sight of that . eric : this family has had its share of ups and downs and we always come together . we will this time , too . [ scene_break ] felicia : this is great . jackie 's m 's order for the spectra couture collection ? i mean , we got the go - ahead , right ? nick : no . it 's changed . felicia : what ? nick : ridge killed the order . felicia : well , he ca n't do that . he was overruled . nick : i heard . by your father , right ? felicia : ridge can not hold jackie m to the exclusivity clause any more than he can keep , `` by thorne forrester `` off the spectra label . or could it be that he found a way to get around my dad on this ? i ca n't imagine how he could do that . can you ? [ scene_break ] thorne : where is ridge ? i have a company to run , too . i do n't have all day to wait around . ridge : good morning , everyone . sorry i 'm late . eric : hello , son . thorne : i was beginning to think you were n't gon na show . stephanie : where 's brooke ? ridge : she 'll be along . as soon as i have a talk with dad in private . thorne : why do you need to meet with dad in private ? ridge : that 's between him and me . so if you do n't mind ? thorne : i do mind , ridge . you call us here for a meeting , you show up late . now you want to -- stephanie : ridge ? what is this all about , really ? ridge : i just need a minute with dad before we do the meeting . okay ? eric : of course , son . we 'll just be a minute . so , what 's this about ? [ scene_break ] nick : hey , you know the dressmaker a lot better than i do . felicia : then why do i get the feeling that you know a little more about this than you 're saying ? nick : coffee ? felicia : fine . be that way . but , you know what ? when i 'm not around , you 're gon na to wish -- nick : what do you mean , when you 're not around ? felicia : well , actually , i 'm -- i 'm going away for a while . back to paris , actually . you know , to explore the feasibility of the spectra couture international line . pretty exciting , huh ? [ scene_break ] stephanie : i thought i 'd find you hiding here . brooke : i 'm not hiding . i spoke to ridge like you asked me to . stephanie : did you get through to him ? brooke : i tried . i spoke to him last night and then again , just a few minutes ago . stephanie : and ? brooke : i do n't know . i 'm hoping that when he 's with his father , he 'll realize that this is n't the way to go . stephanie : and if he does n't ? if he pulls the rug out from underneath him ? thorne : okay . i 'm confused . dad already said i could use the forrester name . what 's ridge trying to do ? sue me for trademark infringement ? stephanie : it 's more than that . thorne : well , whatever it is , it 's not gon na work . because i know my father , and he 's probably telling my brother that right now . [ scene_break ] eric : i thought you wanted to talk to me about the content of this meeting . you have n't said anything so far . ridge : well , it 's a little difficult to find the right words . eric : all right . all right . i 'll say something -- about my decision yesterday to let thorne use our name . but i want to say something about you , actually . you and i have been working together for many , many years , side - by - side . and your creativity has never failed to inspire me . now , the fact is , i 've actually been envious of it from time to time . this originality , the passion that you bring to every one of your designs . and that 's why it 's been such a -- why it 's been so fulfilling for me to work with you . not just as a father , but as a ceo . but i have another son . thorne is my son , too . and he has inspired me as well . everything that he 's been able to accomplish lately , in these last few months , has been an inspiration to me . ridge : look , dad , if you 're trying to justify all this again -- eric : no , no , no . no , i 'm not trying to do that . i mean , i realize how frustrating that is for you . and how you feel you need to express your dissent here at this meeting . we will listen to your concerns . we will , because i respect you as a businessman . and because i know you love this company so much . but , ridge , this decision was mine to make , and i made it . and i expect you to stand beside me . ridge : look , dad , about all that -- eric : stephanie ! stephanie , please , we 're we 're still talking here . thorne : i know what you 're up to , ridge . and i 'm putting a stop to it right now .

[ scene_break ] steffy : thank you for the talk , but i can handle my problems . katie : ( sighs ) listen , i know how you must feel about bill . steffy : you do ? katie : of course . it 's obvious . i mean , you 're not alone . a lot of people do n't like him . they think he 's a ruthless businessman , but really , he wants his employees to be happy . he does . and he 's taken an interest in you . i know that must be a lot of pressure . rick : i 'm so sorry . i 'm -- am i interrupting anything ? steffy : no , no . we 're done . rick : uh , katie , it must nice being the c.e.o . somebody left these for you . they 're primo laker tickets , courtside seats . katie : nice . take them . have a good time . you deserve it . see you later . rick : bye . steffy : here . bring a date . rick : i have no one to take . steffy : ( chuckles ) rick : what i mean is , ever since you and i broke up , i ' been kind of living my life like a monk .

[ scene_break ] rick : so the first time that liam messed up was at his bachelor party . he -- he got too drunk . and actually , steffy was there to drive him home . uh , they started kissing in the car . hope saw them . they did n't see her . so she wrote a note , along with her engagement ring , and broke things off . you 'd think that the guy would try to find her to make things right . caroline : and he did n't . rick : well , in all fairness , he tried to call her , but she did n't want to talk to him . but that same night , what did he do ? he put the ring on steffy 's finger and took her to bed . yeah . that 's exactly what bill wanted . he could n't get 'em married fast enough . so he sent 'em to aspen , where steffy arranged an ambush wedding at the top of ajax mountain . lured liam there . in the meantime , hope has second thoughts . she wants to go to aspen . so i go with her for support , just in case she gets hurt again . and she did , because somehow , bill and steffy arranged for her to get stuck in a gondola and forced her to watch liam marry steffy . caroline : how awful . oh ... rick : it gets worse . [ scene_break ] hope : every time i 'd think we 'd gotten through the worst of it , something else would happen . always having to do with steffy . what is it about her ? why ca n't liam stay away from her ? ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] rick : liam ca n't stay away from steffy . italy was it for me . i did n't know about bill 's involvement getting deacon there , but what i do know is that my sister was late for the ceremony 'cause she was spending time with her father , who she has n't seen in years . and instead of liam waiting for her , what does he do ? he ends up in bed with steffy , accidentally recorded on video that my sister inadvertently saw . [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) i should have cut my losses when i saw that video , but , oh , no , not miss optimism . i planned another wedding , and then liam and steffy have a make - out session the night before . [ scene_break ] rick : liam should have never gone out with steffy the night before he was supposed to marry hope again . but he just can not stay away from her . caroline : ( sighs ) rick : and that 's why i convinced othello to lie . so i could put an end to this thing once and for all . caroline : now we know that deacon going to italy was bill 's doing . you 're clinging to a lie , and it 's keeping two people who love each other apart . this has to end , rick . rick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : it breaks my heart to see you in so much pain . hope : oh , i 'll be fine . it 's a process , right ? for both of us . you know , every time i start to feel really bad for myself , i just think about all the things that i have to be grateful for , like katie coming home . you and bill must have been blown away . brooke : you could say that . hope : i 'm sure you were relieved . it ca n't have been easy to spend all that time with bill . brooke : he 's not really as bad as you would think . hope : you are joking , right ? brooke : no , really . i mean , the circumstances sort of stripped him down . he had to take care of will , and he was really worried about katie . so he did n't have that ... `` king of the mountain `` attitude . he had to be real . you know , he was just bill . i could understand why katie fell in love with him . [ scene_break ] bill : so , firstborn son , how are things with you ? liam : pretty darn great . bill : living arrangements are working out ? liam : every day , steffy 's a revelation . bill : i hope you 're just enjoying that , living in the moment , not planning any walks down the aisle anytime soon . liam : oh , no . ( chuckles ) no , believe me , marriage is , uh , far from being on the table . we 're just , you know , enjoying each other , taking it day by day . but , um , i do love her . bill : no kidding . liam : yeah , you called it . okay ? bill : so i was right ? liam : look , just do n't break your arm patting yourself on the back . bill : hey , i 'm just saying , you know , when the old man gives you some advice , you might want to listen to it , avoid a - a lot of aggravation . liam : okay , i 'll keep that in mind . bill : anything else you want to tell me ? liam : like business or family ? bill : either one . liam : well -- oh , well , there 's caroline . bill : what about her ? liam : well , it seems like she and rick are getting pretty serious . bill : so thomas is out of the picture ? liam : oh , yeah , way out . rick saw to that . he -- he wanted the girl , bided his time , slithered on in there . thomas did n't even know what hit him . bill : you do n't sound too happy about that . liam : i mean , you know , i 'm not a huge fan of either one , but , uh , i guess if caroline 's happy , that 's all that matters . right ? [ scene_break ] rick : okay , i 'll admit it . it was selfish . but if i tell hope that i lied , she might never forgive me . caroline : just be as honest with her as you are with me . tell her why you did it , that you did n't want to see her get hurt again . rick : i just do n't think that 's gon na cut it . caroline : no . she 's gon na be really upset with you . rick : ohh . caroline : but is n't that better than living with this on your conscience ? you told me that you wanted us to be together because you thought together that we could do anything . rick : and i believe that . caroline : so do i . but i do n't want us to start off clouded by this . hope is your sister , and liam is my cousin . they 're family . we ca n't keep deceiving them . it 's wrong . rick : okay . okay , we 'll tell them . but know that i told this lie out of the best of intentions , for the love of my sister , all right ? but she 's miserable . she 's miserable because of me . caroline : and bill . rick : look , i 'm not responsible for bill 's actions . but what i did , i need to fix . [ scene_break ] ( cell phone rings ) hope : hey . rick : where are you ? hope : i 'm at mom 's . what 's up ? rick : are you gon na be there a while ? hope : yeah , for a bit . why ? rick : i need to tell you something . it 's important . hope : okay . i 'll see you soon . rick : all right . we right the wrong . caroline : i love you . [ scene_break ] bill : have you told caroline you have reservations about rick ? liam : aah . it 's not really my place , is it ? i mean -- bill : of course , it 's your place . she 's your cousin . you got ta look out for family . liam : oh , yeah ? yeah ? like you ? bill : well , did n't you just tell me that i was right about steffy ? huh ? huh ? liam : i ... ( sighs ) bill : do you want me to talk to her ? liam : no . you -- hey -- you -- you go ahead and sit this one out . bill : listen , i do n't want to see caroline get hurt any more than you do . i like her . i think she 's a good addition to the family . liam : yeah , me , too . speaking of which , you got ta be really excited that katie 's back . okay , what -- that -- see , what is that look , dad ? because you -- you gave that same look to justin . bill : no . no . ( scoffs ) come on . of -- of course , i 'm glad that katie 's back . it 's just this , uh , postpartum depression -- what is it ? and -- and how -- how do we fight it ? and -- and what if it comes back ? liam : it 's not coming back . it 's not . bill : can i get that in writing ? liam : well , no . but you know , i 'm sure taylor 's on top of it . i mean , katie 's still seeing her , right ? look , dad , katie is thrilled to be back with her new baby . you got nothing to worry about . bill : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] brooke : so ... ( sighs ) how are things with thomas in charge ? hope : um ... ( sighs ) kind of in a holding pattern right now . eric stepped in and -- and kind of slowed thomas down . brooke : is he playing nicely with rick ? hope : well , no one 's been thrown through a window lately , so that 's good . but he does not like working for thomas . brooke : ( sighs ) how are he and caroline ? hope : they 're great , actually . they are . i think she 's probably the reason why he has n't flipped out . brooke : good . hope : mm - hmm . brooke : she 's a good person . that 's the kind of woman he deserves . hope : yeah . she really brings out the best in him . [ scene_break ] rick : ( chuckles ) ( sighs ) caroline : thank you . rick : for doing the right thing ? caroline : i know that this is really hard for you . rick : well , hope deserves the truth . i just do n't want to lose her . caroline : no , no , you wo n't . you wo n't . she may be furious at first , but she 's gon na understand that you only lied to protect her . i 'll make sure of that . rick : i knew that this is how it would be for us . working through this stuff together , helping each other out . i like the man i want to be for you . caroline : i 'm pretty crazy about the man you already are . rick : you 're the best thing that 's ever happened to me in my life . ( chuckles ) i love you , caroline . caroline : ( giggles ) | caroline tells rick that she just ca n't stop thinking about hope and liam . so he 's going to have to convince her that he 's right and not tell or she 's going to convince him that they should . rick says that steffy is the master manipulator here . he tells her the whole breakup of hope and liam 's first engagement and the ambush wedding on top of ajax mountain in aspen . liam simply can not stay away with steffy . that 's why rick convinced othello to lie to put an end to all of this . caroline says he is keeping two people apart that love each other . this has to end . the kiss was only a dream and brooke is shocked to wake up and be thinking of bill . hope walks in and assumes it is about ridge and assures her mom that ridge loves her and will be back when the time is right . justin welcomes bill back to the office and is glad to have him back . liam has fit right in and quips that yeah he yelled at everyone at least once a day . bill fills justin in on katie 's depression and where she 's been all this time . bill says she is continuing to work with taylor to make sure there is no relapse . but luckily for old slick here , he will be back in the office as things get back to normal . |
quinn : say it again , hope . hope : mom . [ chuckles ] quinn : and your child 's ... hope : grandmother . [ laughs ] liam : quinn crashing hope 's party -- very bad idea , which is why if she went over there , deacon , you -- you need to be the one to head her off . deacon : have you met quinn ? nobody tells that woman to do anything . liam : i understand , but you have some new influence , right ? deacon : okay , look , yeah , we -- we 've got a relationship , but , i mean , the reason it works , you know , quinn does her thing , i do my thing . look , i do n't think you need to sweat this , all right ? i really , honestly do n't think she went over to the shower . liam : oh , really ? 'cause it sounds like classic quinn to me -- barging in where she 's not wanted , no regard for hope 's wishes . deacon : okay , look , i told her to back off , all right ? i said , just , you know , `` you know , give it some time . let hope come around . `` i told her that . liam : that is not gon na happen . deacon : come on , liam . you do n't know that . i mean , hope is a forgiving , compassionate woman , right ? she 's married to quinn 's son . he 's got to miss his mom . liam : that 's not -- quinn has done things that ca n't be forgiven , deacon , which is why i do n't understand how you can be with a woman like that , a woman who 's hurt your daughter so many times . deacon : [ sighs ] liam : i know you were n't there for most of it . you kind of missed out on all the fun . but quinn is not some minor irritation , deacon . she 's a full - blown sociopath and she does n't care about the damage she inflicts emotionally or physically . she needs to be locked up , or at the very least heavily medicated , and you -- you knowing everything she 's put hope through , how can you be with someone like that ? i do n't condone her methods , all right ? i do n't even condone the lengths that she goes to . but i understand it , and i 'll tell you why . she is a single mother and she has had to fight for every single thing that she has , liam , and you know what ? sometimes she fights dirty . liam : she 'll turn on you , too . you know that . you ca n't trust her . deacon : well , you may be right there , my boy , but i 'll tell you something . in the meantime , i 'm a man with wants and needs and desires , and between you and me ... quinn checks the boxes . liam : oh . oh . deacon : [ laughs ] liam : okay , so , what ? so hope 's needs do n't matter ? deacon : of course they matter . i adore my daughter . think of it this way , okay ? i may just be in a unique position to run interference . you know , maybe i can actually broker peace between quinn and hope . liam : no , that right there -- that 's a fantasy that you 're selling yourself . if you value your relationship with hope , you got to move out of here . you got to cut off ties with quinn , because , deacon , i promise you , hope will never accept her . quinn : [ chuckles ] i 'm gon na be a grandma . hope : yes , you are . [ both chuckle ] hope : come here . i c -- i ca n't wait to see your face when you hold your grandchild for the first time . and are -- are you gon na be there for the delivery ? quinn : before , during , after -- whenever you want me . hope : yeah ? katie : well , i guess ... welcome to the family . donna : congratulations . pam : the power of forgiveness . ivy : well , i guess your days of snooping on the stairs are over . aly : welcome , quinn . quinn : thank you . may i ? hope : yeah , of course . [ laughter ] hope : it 's a common thing . everyone knows that , right ? donna : of course . hope : everybody knows that . katie : i ca n't wait to meet that baby . hope : i know ! me too . and wyatt -- i have to peel him off the ceiling . katie : that 's awesome . donna : you guys are gon na be such amazing parents . hope : thank you . donna : this is one lucky boy . or girl . hope : or a girl . i know . you know what , guys ? i have thought about being a mom my whole life . katie : it 's the best experience you 'll ever have . donna : you are having a baby ! katie : you are ! hope : i am ! i know ! katie : oh , my gosh ! [ laughter ] aly : so ... wild guess . you 're thinking about liam ? ivy : uh ... yeah . you caught me . aly : yeah , i recognize the look . ivy : oh , yeah ? and what look is that ? all sappy and silly ? aly : i wear it from time to time when i think about oliver . [ chuckles ] you happy ? ivy : my mind has just been blown , you know ? i ca n't believe liam actually said he loves me . aly : it 's still sinking in , huh ? ivy : i mean , it 's everything i could ever have wanted , but i just -- i did n't expect it to happen so soon . aly : well , it makes sense to me . you 've been solid for liam . and plus you 're pretty terrific , so what 's not to love ? [ chuckles ] [ laughter ] aly : you 're not feeling insecure , are you ? ivy : no , i -- [ sighs ] even though liam and i might be together , i still have to come to terms with the fact that ... he 'll always have feelings for hope . pam : okay , ladies ! let 's gather ! after all , baby showers are not about fabulous finger food and mimosas , they 're also about presents ! [ cheers and applause ] pam : so , come on , mommy . sit . sit , sit . hope : do n't worry . i 'm just drinking orange juice , i swear . [ laughter ] hope : oh , my gosh ! you guys ! look at all of this ! aly : and do n't even say we should n't have . ivy : yes , you have to open it . katie : okay , well , we 're gon na go first , because we could n't wrap it , so you have to close your eyes . hope : okay . they 're closed . katie : keep them closed . hope : i ca n't promise anything . katie : okay . [ all gasp ] katie : everyone 's -- okay , open your eyes . open your eyes . hope : oh , my god ! you guys ! this is amazing . and it 's beautiful ! i love it . thank you so much . oh , my god ! these are so cute ! ivy : i actually -- i made that . well , i did n't make the booties , but all the little gems are hand placed . hope : are they real ? ivy : no . [ laughter ] hope : okay , who is this one from ? caroline : that 's me , that 's me . hope : that 's caroline . this is huge ! caroline : thank you ! hope : this is crazy . okay , i 'm just gon na rip this . caroline : just get into it . hope : okay . caroline : look , i 've got my baby cousin when it comes to wardrobes , okay ? hope : look at this ! aah ! [ camera shutter clicks ] deacon : i 'm gon na let you in on a little secret . i 'm trying something new . it 's optimism over pessimism . it 's kind of like -- what do they call it ? like a social experiment ? i 'm trying to see if perspective and state of mind can affect the outcome of events . liam : hope is never opening her door to quinn again . she 's too dangerous . sorry . deacon : not to her grandkid . liam : well , i guess we 'll never know , will we , because quinn 's not getting anywhere near that kid . deacon : liam , with all due respect , that 's not your call . liam : i know . i know . it 's hope 's , and she already made it . deacon : listen . i get that you 've had some really unfortunate experiences with quinn . and i also understand that you do n't think she 's capable of change , but i 'm here to tell you people can change . they can . you know , if they 've got a strong enough reason and motivation , and i got to believe being involved in her grandkid 's life qualifies . liam : well , maybe she should have thought of that before she started trotting the globe terrorizing people . deacon : oh , come on , man . she 's just like everybody else . she just wants to be loved , you know ? and she gets hurt when that does n't happen , and then that turns into outrage . that 's , you know , when the crazy kicks in . but it would n't happen if people accepted her in the beginning . liam : that 's an interesting theory . how does that account for her locking me in the steam room and coming after me with a sword and pushing ivy into the seine ? deacon : bad impulse control ? liam : oh , come on . listen , okay , all right , i 'm sure it 's commendable that you 're going to such great pains to understand a raging psychopath . i really do . but for the rest of us , quinn has more than earned our mistrust , deacon , and -- in fact , the more that i think about it , crashing hope 's party is exactly what quinn would do . i got to check in . [ cell phone rings ] aly : these eggs are amazing . they 're so delicious . ivy : hey , you . liam : hey . uh ... how 's it going over there ? ivy : it 's really nice . liam : no surprises ? ivy : uh , no . apart from gifts . [ chuckles ] why ? what 's going on ? liam : just a feeling . i 'm over at quinn 's , and she 's not here , so ... ivy : no , she -- i mean , she would n't dare -- liam : it 's quinn . trust me . she 'd dare . [ indistinct conversations ] deacon : you still love her , do n't you ? liam : excuse me ? deacon : hope . liam : uh ... well , i mean , i 'm with ivy now , so ... deacon : and she 's beautiful , but , uh , does n't exactly answer the question . liam : okay , fine . here it is . hope is very special to me . we shared a lot . we wanted a future together . did n't work out . but feelings like that , they do n't just die . i mean , hope is a part of me . she always will be , and my first instinct will always be to protect her . deacon : how 's ivy feel about that ? liam : she understands . that 's what 's so great about ivy . she 's patient , she 's accepting , she does n't push me or hurry me along . i 'm lucky to have her . deacon : but you still wish you were with hope . liam : it 's not really an option anymore . and do n't -- do n't get me wrong , deacon . i 'm not settling for ivy . we 've built something together , too , and we 're committed . but will i always have feelings for hope ? yeah . yeah . deacon : you 're a good man , liam . i would have been damn proud to have you as a son - in - law . i 'm sorry it did n't work out that way . liam : appreciate that . deacon : listen , i do n't want to be rude , but i go to go run some errands . liam : actually , yeah , um , i was thinking , do you mind if i take you up on that drink ? i got to make a phone call to spencer , anyway . deacon : help yourself . tell your old man i said hi . liam : [ chuckles ] deacon : hey , um , you might just consider cutting quinn just a little bit of slack . i mean , she really is trying . liam : [ sighs ] [ indistinct conversations ] caroline : [ sighs ] all of your stuff better be out of my house . anything that i find that does n't belong to me ? trashed . maya : i knew that was coming . caroline : you lost , myrna . you gambled that you could steal my husband , and look where that got you ? dumped . humiliated . alone . maya : rick 's come back to me before . caroline : i would n't count on that happening again . ivy : hey . hope : hey . ivy : i just wanted to say thanks for including me . hope : oh , yeah , well ... we 're family . ivy : and not rivals ? hope : rivals need something to dispute and ... i am in love with wyatt and you are with liam . ivy : well , that 's , uh ... that 's fair enough . i guess we can just leave it at that . hope : be good to him . he deserves it . ivy : yeah , i will . pam : okay , everyone ! who is ready to play pin the stork on the cradle ? ! katie : oh , i know i am . count me in . pam : follow me ! outside ! ivy : okay . donna : whoo ! ivy : you are -- you 're guest of honor , so i 'm gon na follow you out there . hope : i guess i should get out there , huh ? thanks . hope : thank you so much ! thank you for everything ! for your generosity , for -- for being here . there is such a tremendous amount of girl power in this room . i love it ! and i am going to be calling on all of you for help . pam : and we will be there . hope : thank you ! it 's all i ask . it 's just -- this is amazing . it 's so fantastic to me to think that wyatt and i -- we made this . you know , we made this little person , and it 's -- you know , he or she is making itself known in all these weird little interesting ways . and so soon enough , you know , this baby will be here , and it 's just -- wow ! [ laughs ] katie : wow , indeed . [ laughter ] hope : anyway , i 'm talking a lot . the point is , thank you . thank you so much for my baby shower , but more importantly , thank you for being the warrior women that i can count on ! thank you so much ! this is great . thank you . i love you . katie : i love you . hope : i love you . katie : mwah ! hope : thank you . oh , my gosh ! caroline : ooh , you got that leftover food ! [ indistinct conversations ] ivy : hey , do you want me to help you with the gifts ? hope : yeah . yeah , that would be really great . thanks . ivy : well , it 's quite a haul you got there . hope : i know . everyone was so generous . ivy : i know , and everyone 's so creative . hope : that , too . [ laughs ] um ... thank you for being here . ivy : oh , honestly , i would n't have missed it . hey , i just want to let you know that liam called , and he was a little concerned . hope : oh , why ? ivy : he thought -- he thought that quinn might have crashed . hope : oh , yeah . i was a little worried about that , myself . but we got through it ! [ laughs ] i ... hope it does n't bother you that he called . ivy : oh . liam making sure that you 're all right ? no . hope , any woman that wants to be with liam needs to accept that you are a part of his life . hope : [ sighs ] liam : hi , quinn . quinn : what are you doing here ? liam : actually , i came to see you . imagine my surprise when i found deacon instead . really , though ? i mean , really ? hope 's father ? quinn : it 's none of your business . liam : how do you think hope feels about this living arrangement ? quinn : it is none of your business , but you 're free to ask her . liam : where you been ? quinn : i 'm sorry . i must have been absent the day i agreed to start answering to you . liam : where you been ? quinn : out , liam . liam : what 's this ? is this for me ? oh , it 's cake ! huh ! quinn : yeah . you 're an amazing detective . went to a bakery . i have a bit of a sweet tooth . you should have me arrested . liam : you went , did n't you ? i mean , you know how hope feels , you know what she asked you , but you do n't care . you just do whatever the hell you want to do anyway . she does n't invite you to her baby shower , yeah , you 'll just crash it , right ? quinn : you are getting dangerously close to the edge , liam . you know , i 'd catch yourself if i were you . liam : right , right , right , right , right . 'cause i 'm crazy and you 're just misunderstood . quinn : now you 're getting it . liam : god ! i am so sick of you . i 'm so sick of this -- the total disregard for anybody 's feelings . you have been -- you have been manipulating hope and me over and over and over , and when she finally has enough , she finally tells you to stay away , no . you do n't listen . you refuse to listen . you just keep on coming because you 're relentless . quinn : i did n't do anything . liam : no ! no , of course not ! because the trail of chaos you leave behind you just magically creates itself . you know , i warned hope . i warned hope so many times about getting involved with wyatt , that you were part of the package , that she would get sucked into the insanity , and how here she is . she 's married , she 's pregnant with his kid , all because of what you engineered in paris . quinn : oh , you are still whining about that ? it 's over . liam , move on . liam : move on ? you 'd like that . you 'd like me to move on . you would like me to walk away and let you keep you bullying and terrorizing and threatening hope into doing what you want , but that 's not happening . my eyes are fixed on you , and as long as i am breathing , i will protect hope from you . | hope hugs quinn and calls her mom . liam continues to tell deacon that quinn crashing the shower is a very bad idea . and if deacon knew about it he is the one that needs to head her off . deacon counters with that liam knows quinn and no one tells her what to do . he says they have a relationship and the way it works is he does his thing and quinn does her thing . liam ca n't understand how he can be with a woman like that who has hurt his daughter so many times . she is not a minor irritation . she is a full blown sociopath who does not care about the damage she inflicts emotionally or physically . she needs to be locked up or at the very least put on meds . deacon laments that he does not condone what she does but she 's had it rough raising her son and had to fight back and sometimes she fights dirty . liam warns that deacon can not trust her ; she will turn on him too . deacon says he knows , but he is a man with wants , needs and desires and meantime quinn checks those boxes . and maybe he can actually broker peace between quinn and hope . liam tells him that is a fantasy of his but he has to move out of here as hope will never accept quinn . quinn is happy for a moment as hope lets her feel her tummy . the gals welcome her into the family . then quinn is jarred back to reality by hearing them all laughing when opening up the presents for the baby . deacon tells liam that he realizes he has had several bad experiences with quinn but he is telling him that people can change with a strong enough motivation and he ca n't help but think being a grandmother might qualify . she just wants to be loved like anyone else . she gets hurt , she is outraged and that is when the crazy kicks in but that would n't happen if people accepted her in the beginning . liam says it is admirable that he is willing to give her more chances but the rest of them can not . the more he thinks about it the more he thinks crashing the shower is what quinn would do . he calls ivy who assures him all is okay . deacon asks about ivy . liam says here 's the deal . hope will always be very special to him . they tried to make it work and it did n't . but feelings do not just die and his first instinct will always be to protect her . ivy understands and that is what is so great about her . she does n't push or hurry him along . he is lucky to have her . and he is not settling for ivy . they have built a relationship and they are committed . deacon says he is a damn good man and he would have been proud to have him as a son - in - law . he is sorry that did n't work out . deacon says he has errands to run and asks liam to please try to cut quinn some slack . she is really trying . |
wyatt : steffy ... steffy : i did n't want to be the one to have to tell you . wyatt : i do n't know what to say except how disappointed i am . steffy : disappointed ? wyatt : in you and this never - ending feud you have with my girlfriend . what are you doing ? steffy : that 's not what this is about ! wyatt : obviously it is ! you 're trying to tell me that ivy 's been unfaithful with thomas ? ! you -- you ca n't believe that that 's true . and if you do , you 're just deluding yourself .

brooke : this ca n't be true . hope : she did it . taylor shot bill . brooke : it just does n't make sense . i mean , taylor and i , we 've -- we 've had our moments ... but it 's always been kind of innocent ... somewhat . then , one thing leads to another , we end up slapping each other or throwing cake ... but a gun ? hope : well ... you know , she thought bill violated steffy . so taylor went to his house , saw his gun , picked it up ... brooke : and pulled the trigger .

[ sniffles ] it 's bringing up a lot of ... old pains ... things i do n't -- i do n't want to bother you with . all i know is , what happened with bill , that is n't me . honey , you 've got to believe me . that is n't me . steffy : no , no , of course it isn't . taylor : or maybe it is . i do n't know . maybe it 's exactly who i am . because let me tell you , nothing will stop me from protecting you . steffy : but , mom , i did n't need you to protect me . taylor : you did ! ca n't you understand ? after ... losing phoebe ... [ crying ] steffy : [ breathes deeply ] taylor : bill wo n't tell , right ? steffy : no , he won't . taylor : because it just haunts me , living in fear , thinking that the police are going to knock at the door . steffy : mom , he promised . taylor : and liam wo n't tell . as long as it stays between the four of us , then -- then , eventually , maybe everything will be okay . just you and me and liam and bill -- no one else . no one else can ever find out . brooke : so , bill agreed to keep quiet . of course he agreed . this is back when he would do anything for steffy . oh , my god . his obsession got him shot . hope : basically , yeah . i mean , if he had just ... kept his hands off of steffy , taylor would 've never retaliated . brooke : well , this is insane . i mean , the holier - than - thou taylor picks up a gun and ... [ sighs ] i -- i ca n't believe that this was premeditated . there 's no way she meant to shoot bill . hope : i do n't think she meant to . i think -- i do n't know -- she saw the gun , and motherly instincts kicked in . brooke : i understand motherly instincts , but i certainly would n't go and shoot somebody in their back . my god . when i think of all the things that she has done to me through the years and how she would get in my face and say these vicious things ... i always thought that there was something wrong with her . but now i know it 's more . she 's not only crazy , she is dangerous . it 's not the way it looks in the instructions , harold . brooke : i appreciate you telling me , honey . hope : well , i figured you needed to know , of all people . brooke : yeah . because i 'm the one person that she hates the most . hope : yes . brooke : all these years of calling me names and making me feel bad and painting me as morally inferior . well , this is worse than anything that i have ever done . taylor , the saint , making me feel bad about myself . well , no more . hope : wait ! wait . mom ? mom , where are you going ? honey , all the years of putting me down and she 's the one who could possibly end up in jail ? where do you think i 'm going ? bill : why did you come to me with this ? liam : because you were the gunshot victim , and you deserved to know . bill : well , you could 've told hope about it and the two of you not made mention of it again . liam : maybe i miss ... sharing things with you . maybe i miss ... hearing your opinion . bill : we can get back to the relationship we had . liam : [ sighs ] no , not -- not what we had . but we could get back to something . bill : listen to me . i was shot and shoved over a balcony in the same year . the bullet did n't kill me , and the fall did n't kill me . liam : if you 're about to say you 're invincible , i -- bill : oh , i already know i 'm invincible . liam : [ scoffs ] bill : but that 's beside the point . what i 'm trying to say ... is that , as hard as people might try ... there are some things that just ca n't be killed . and a father 's love for his son is one of them . and you are a dad now . so you know exactly what i mean . liam : [ breathes deeply ] bill : i 'm here for you , son . whenever you need me , however you need me . liam : got it . hope : hey , i just got your text . steffy : close the door . hope : [ clears throat ] what 's up ? steffy : you know . hope : i know ... ? steffy : what my mom did . hope : yes , i do . and i do n't think i 'll ever be able to look at her the same again . taylor : when did she go down ? amelia : about 10 minutes ago with a full belly and a fresh diaper , so she should be out for a while . taylor : okay . you did all the hard part . i guess i can do the fun part . i 'll just have to raid steffy 's refrigerator and eat all of her ice cream . amelia : ah , yes . i already took care of that , too . taylor : aww ! amelia : so , the baby monitor is switched on , and it 's just over there . and ... i should probably fold some of these blankets . taylor : leave something for me to do . amelia : i appreciate that . tell steffy i will see her in the morning ? taylor : will do . amelia : thanks . oh ! excuse me . brooke : hi , amelia . amelia : um , steffy 's not in right now . brooke : that 's all right . i came to see taylor . amelia : okay . well , enjoy your visit . brooke : thank you . taylor : have you come to apologize ? brooke : i have nothing to apologize for . you , on the other hand ... taylor : the way you and hope spoke to me earlier was not appreciated . so if you 're not here to apologize , then we have nothing more to discuss . now , if you 'll excuse me , i am taking care of my granddaughter . brooke : did steffy give you permission ? taylor : permission ? for what ? brooke : to relieve the babysitter . taylor : kelly is my grandchild . brooke : i know . but is it okay with steffy that you 're alone with her ? taylor : why would n't she be ? brooke : oh . well , it 's -- it 's fine . i just thought ... i see you in a whole new light . now that i know what you 're capable of . hope : i 'm still in shock . steffy : i understand . hope : are you okay ? it ca n't be easy knowing what your mom did . steffy : no , no , it isn't . and now i understand that motherly instinct . hope : but ... that does n't justify picking up a gun and shooting a man in the back . steffy : i 'm not even remotely suggesting that . i 'm just telling you where her mind was . hope : well ... that 's what i 'm concerned about -- where her mind is . steffy : she 's getting help , hope . hope : look ... please understand that i 'm saying this out of love and concern , but maybe she needs a different kind of help . because i ran into her earlier , and it was n't pretty . steffy : yeah , liam told me . hope : and then , i walked in on her yelling at my mom . steffy : yeah , i know , i heard . hope : and it was really intense , steffy . she blames her for her unhappiness . she accuses her of stealing ridge from your family and now helping me do the same with liam . steffy : i do n't think she understands . i do n't think either one of our moms understands that we want to live our lives differently . i asked her to give you space . hope : well , thank you . look ... you do n't have to worry . i 'm not looking for an apology . i know you 're not your mom . steffy : no , it 's just so messed up . hope : please do n't take this the wrong way , but ... do you think she 's getting worse ? because the interactions i 've seen , they do n't seem healthy . steffy : what are you saying ? hope : well , i mean ... maybe we should go to somebody . steffy : somebody like ... the police ? hope , we are talking about my mom . she 's getting therapy . she 's just been through a lot , okay ? hope : and she blames all of that on my mom . steffy : no , not all of it . i mean , some of it , yeah , but she 's dealing with a lot , with pain and with guilt . she just needs time . please . please do n't tell anyone . hope : uh , that 's , uh , too late . steffy : what ? hope : i ... told -- told someone . steffy : who ? hope : my mom . taylor : what does that mean , what i 'm capable of ? brooke : maybe i should stay . and you and i can watch kelly together . taylor : are you implying that i should n't be here , alone with my own granddaughter ? brooke : you were on the attack today , taylor . is that really a good place to be while caring for an infant ? taylor : well , excuse me for being a little upset when your daughter told me to leave los angeles . being here with my granddaughter will improve my mood , thank you very much . you really have a lot of gall . this is my daughter 's house . if anybody should n't be here , it 's you . so why ca n't you just leave me alone ? you 're married to ridge , your daughter has liam -- everything has worked out just fine for you . so why are you doing this ? why are you still harassing me ? you are the last person to judge me . brooke : oh , and here we go . the great dr . taylor hayes , about ready to explain how horrible i am . standing her moral high ground . taylor : okay , fine . i accept your false impression of me , but i have never said that i do n't make mistakes . brooke : oh , i know you do . while i get berated for stealing husbands and breaking up marriages and wearing lingerie and following my heart , as if any of those things were a crime . taylor : there was nothing innocent about the way you pursued my husband . if that is n't a crime , i do n't know what is . brooke : do you need me to define it for you ? an actual crime , usually committed by a morally compromised person . they would walk into a home , pick up a gun , and shoot somebody in the back . i know what you did , taylor . you did that . you shot bill . | brooke laments to hope this can not be true . she and taylor had their bouts but she was always pretty gentle and it makes no sense that she would shoot bill . steffy sits and thinks about what liam told her that he had to tell hope . she has to tell her mom . liam goes to see bill at the office and says he knows he should have called first and had a reason but they need to talk . bill says he does not need a reason ; he is glad he is there . taylor tells steffy that she apologized to liam and she will apologize again to steffy but she can not keep stuffing down all this pain . and it is all because of bill . liam tells bill there have been new developments in his shooting . bill thinks he means with the detective . liam says not exactly . he had to tell hope that it was taylor that shot him . bill grouses that the more people that know the greater chance it is going to come out . liam says steffy asked them to keep it a secret so they have all tried to adhere to that . but he ca n't help but feel shaky and thinks that taylor should just leave l. a. for good . taylor tells steffy that therapy is real hard in bringing up old pain . steffy needs to believe her ; that was not her , but maybe it was . nothing will keep her from protecting steffy . she is afraid the police will come knocking at her door despite what bill said , but maybe all will be okay if it just remains with steffy , bill and liam . brooke laments to hope that she can not believe taylor plotted to kill bill . hope says no , she found the opportunity and her motherly instincts kicked in . brooke says not only is she a little crazy but now she is dangerous . and after all these years of taylor calling her names now this is worse than anything brooke has ever done . and now taylor could go to jail . bill hopes he and liam can get back to their father and son relationship . liam says he can not say that but they can get back to something . bill says he is there for him , for anything he wants , and now that liam is a father too perhaps he will understand that . hope gets a text and steffy tells her to close the door . steffy says she knows that hope knows what her mother did . |
ridge : you are beautiful . shauna : and i really meant what i said . this moment is enough . well , for now . i should probably iron your shirt for you . ridge : oh , it 's just a little rumpled . it 's all right . shauna : oh . good . i was hoping you 'd say that . ironing 's not really my thing . ridge : that is a shocker . shauna : but flo 's pretty good at it . ridge : yeah ? [ indistinct chatter ] i should get to the office . shauna : yes , you should . people will be looking for you . ridge : i do n't have to explain myself to anyone . shauna : i do n't even explain myself to me anymore . ridge : hmm . shauna : [ laughs ] you know , when this and ... ridge : oh . uh , here . shauna : ah . ridge : must have been here . shauna : thank you . ridge : there you go . shauna : um , you know , here 's the thing . i do n't even know what to call what we are to each other . all i know is things are so much nicer when i 'm in your vicinity . ridge : do you know how special you are ? shauna : no . never even thought about it . ridge : that 's what i mean . shauna : have a good day at work . ridge : [ chuckles ] bill : `` eye on fashion 's `` gotten dull . all right ? it 's all about trendy high school girls in grandmawear . what are you looking at him for ? he 's got about as much interest in high fashion as he does tropical fish . justin : i would read the hell out of `` eye on tropical fish . `` bill : funny . look , it needs to sparkle like it did when you were the supervising editor . liam : wait , but is n't wyatt managing `` eye on fashion `` now ? bill : what difference does that make ? if i tell you it 's not working , it 's not working . liam : dad , i do n't want to be my brother 's competition . that 's why it matters . wyatt and i have been down that road way too many times . sally : look , it was liam 's first day back at spencer . you guys were all celebrating . i stopped by to do the same . wyatt : but you called me liam . sally : accidentally . liam is the theme of the day . he was on my mind . wyatt : look , accidental , fine . no doubt . but i 'm asking you . could there be another reason why he 's in your head ? sally : look , i did n't live with liam , i did n't sleep with liam , and i did not accept a proposal from liam . wyatt : but you were in love with him at one point , right ? sally : okay , you are making way too big of a deal of a simple slip of the tongue . what if i 'd called you bill ? [ wyatt laughs ] or justin ? wyatt : but you didn't . that 's my whole point here . i ask you again . were you or were you not in love with liam at one point ? sally : wyatt , where 's this question coming from ? wyatt : observation . ridge : i honestly have n't & really thought about that . see , you do n't need -- you do n't need me . you do n't need my help . okay ? all right . i -- i love you , too . dad , i 'm on the phone . eric : do n't sit on the desk like that . how 's brooke ? ridge : dad , ask her yourself . eric : it sounded perfectly cordial to me . ridge : that was steffy . she wants to talk about annual bonuses . i think she 's a better ceo than i am . eric : well , then , here 's my idea . why do n't you split your duties ? ridge : that 's a great idea . we 're already doing that . eric : you could let her work on the day - to - day things and the bonuses , and you could work on the things that have been neglected , like your marriage , for instance . ridge : i do n't think i have a marriage anymore . quinn : did you lose something ? shauna : no . i am looking at your amazing coffeepot . i ca n't believe there 's no stains in there . quinn : oh , well , that 's just because , when things get dirty here , we just throw them out -- clothes , dishes , coffeepots . shauna : seriously ? was it hard learning to be rich ? quinn : no , i always pretended i was , even when i wasn't . shauna : you know , come to think about it , you really did . quinn : mm - hmm . shauna : so how did linda know my favorite food ? she brought all this out here . quinn : because i told her . shauna : besides -- quinn : hmm . what 's -- what 's this ? shauna : what 's what ? quinn : this -- this dark , dark hair . shauna : hmm . quinn : does n't look like yours . shauna : woman . quinn : hmm . shauna : there is nothing in your hand . quinn : yes , but if there was something in my hand like a dark hair , who would it belong to ? bill : listen , i appreciate that you 're worried about your brother , but i 'm telling you , he has been on overload since i was n't coming in during katie 's kidney scare . and besides that , he 's got this , uh , this pet project he 's been pitching me . it 's a , uh , jewelry design quarterly selling gemstones at a big markup . justin : we assume it 's his mother pushing . bill : i will admit that occasionally quinn 's crazy does sync up with consumer crazy . anyway , i 'm gon na have your brother work up a prototype , and he 'll be so happy about that , he 'll be thrilled to hand `` eye on fashion `` over to you . liam : well , apparently , wyatt 's interest in jewelry does n't go so far as finding sally a ring . what do you guys make of that ? bill : only the obvious . warm heart , cold feet . sally : i may have thought at one point in time that i was in love with liam . i may even have said it . wyatt : yeah , i mean , why would n't you ? i mean , he was your knight in shining armor , right ? sally : no . no . that was you . you plucked me off of a barstool two sheets to the wind when i thought i was finished . you strong - armed your father into offering me back the career that he destroyed . wyatt : which you declined . instead , you went back to forrester where liam was . sally : liam had nothing to do with that . wyatt : all i know is that neither did i , apparently . sally : okay , if you are trying to break up with me , it would be better to just say it . wyatt : okay . now you 're talking to me like someone who do n't even know me at all . sally : do i ? know you ? because i have no idea of what brought this on . wyatt : i think you do . i love my brother , but i -- i am done . i am done going after his women . sally : okay , i am not and never have been liam 's woman . wyatt : you know what ? stop . all right ? this is -- this may be the most important conversation that we ever have . if -- if you love me , do n't tell me what you think i want to hear . respect me enough to hurt me if you have to , and if i 've been burned before , it 's by the kindness of women who never even did that simple favor . shauna : if you think you saw ridge here , you probably did . he lives here . quinn : shauna , i saw the two of you . shauna : doing what ? quinn : i do n't know . whatever it is you do after doing the thing i did n't see you do . shauna : no . there is no thing you did n't see . quinn : [ laughs ] shauna : please . really ? right here in your living room ? quinn : okay , well , maybe you did the thing i did n't see you do in a different room in the house . shauna : well , if we had , i would be all over this line of questioning . quinn : so you resisted . shauna : oh , honey , you know me better than that . quinn : that 's right . okay . sorry . oh , so he resisted . shauna : stop . it 's a situation . he 's married . quinn : eh . shauna : and i do n't belong in his world . and ridge is not a cheater . quinn : look , i think it 's disastrous to marry your childhood sweetheart , but with brooke , she , uh , she was ridge 's sweetheart a million years ago . shauna : yes , and look at her . she 's beautiful , she 's rich , and she 's bitchy . what 's not to like ? quinn : look , you think i 'm judging you , but i 'm not . i do n't like seeing ridge miserable . so the whole point of this is go get him . eric : i do n't believe it . i refuse to believe it . do you even know who you are without brooke ? ridge : if you 're expecting a broken man , you should at least let him sit on the desk . eric : i expect at least a serious man . you should n't be staying with quinn and me . you should be at home with her . ridge : well , a house where my son is not welcome is not a home . come on , damn it . what would you have done , huh , if mom had wanted to kick me out when i was thomas ' age ? eric : the only person your mother ever wanted to kick out of the house was me . what 's going on with you ? what is this ? there 's something a little off about your attitude . i do n't expect you to be wallowing in tears and rolling around on the floor , but are you seeing somebody else ? oh . i see . ridge : no , you don't . th - there 's someone who 's helping me through it , who 's supporting me , and it feels nice to be supported for once . and she 's doing it not expecting anything in return . eric : is this somebody i know , by any chance ? ridge : it 's ... someone who 's living in your guesthouse . i 'm leah . and that 's me , justin : now , as far as the question of who will be working with whom . bill : what 's your opinion ? liam : i just think wyatt and i share an assistant . bill : no . about sally . liam : i -- i 'm not an authority on that relationship . bill : what are you talking about ? you know her better than anyone . liam : what ? how do you figure that ? justin : liam , you went to bat for her with dollar bill how many times ? liam : yeah -- justin : and from what i hear , people being blown up together brings them closer . bill : hey , hey , hey ! that is a subject that is a nonsubject that we 're not gon na bring up again . liam : also , that was a long time ago now . i mean , the only thing i came away from that experience with was pulmonary infiltrates made of cement dust . trust me , whatever wyatt has with sally , i never had . sally : i think i know what this is about . wyatt : about your history with my brother ? sally : i would n't call it that . wyatt : no ? sally : i had just been dumped by thomas , which i did n't realize at the time was a godsend , and relentlessly undermined by your father , i needed a friend , and liam was that friend . did i think that it could be more ? at the time , for a few minutes , maybe yes , but then i got over it . he was a married man . i 'm not that masochistic . wow . fine pair we are . wyatt : yeah . i thought so , too , but ... sally : you 're scared . i 'm scared , so scared that i told you that i did n't think i could trust you , and what did you do ? you proposed . and now you 're scared that you 're repeating a pattern in your life that has caused you a lot of pain . what can i do to prove to you that this is n't that ? i mean , i could poison liam , but i really never get away with anything . wyatt : yeah , you 're really bad at being bad . sally : so ... i see your proposal , and i will raise you a trip to vegas so that we can get married this afternoon . how 's that ? eric : shauna . ridge : please do n't give her a hard time because of this . eric : all right . i 've seen it . i 've seen how she looks at you . ridge : she 's different , dad . she 's just ... what you see is what you get . eric : there 's not a person on the planet of whom that 's true . ridge : i suppose not . eric : she does have a breezy way about her . how far has this gone ? ridge : really ? she -- she 's good to me . she 's good for me , and i 'm not gon na create a situation that brooke is gon na blame you for . eric : i doubt brooke would blame me for any of it , but good . shauna : you 're not gon na say anything ? quinn : to who ? eric ? he 's the president of the brooke logan fan club . shauna : i just do n't want to cause any more trouble for ridge . quinn : that is because you are a decent person . shauna : i would n't mind making trouble with him , yeah . quinn : take a look around you . shauna : yeah , your house almost hurts my eyes . quinn : but did you ever picture me living like this ? shauna : no . i pictured you living in a safe house with stolen jewels . quinn : okay . well , be that as it may , this is my house , and it 's safe , and all the jewels are mine , but what i 'm trying to say is miracles do happen . justin : i suppose you want me to put him back into your will now . bill : should have taken care of that months ago . justin : calm down . i did . i figured you wanted to let him know . liam : ah , well , you 're worth more to me alive anyway . bill : aw . i 'm apt to give you a big sloppy kiss . that 's the nicest thing you ever said about me . liam : because of the salary you 're gon na have to pay me to come back . bill : mm ! justin : i always said he had potential . liam : [ laughs ] bill : i want you to make me a promise . liam : you ever notice you and i are n't so great with the promises ? bill : you 'll keep looking out for your brother . i worry about him . him and that semi - fiancée of his . wyatt : no . sally : no ? wyatt : no . i 'm just -- i 'm -- i 'm saying we 're not gon na get married just to prove something . i mean , what are we doing ? like , i ask you to marry me . you say `` where 's my ring ? `` sally : i never said that . wyatt : i say you called me by my brother 's name , and then you say `` let 's go get married by an elvis impersonator in vegas . `` i mean , what are we talking about here ? this is like some bad game of chicken . sally : you know , the only thing that i am trying to prove to you is how much i love you . yes . okay ? liam was a bright light in my life , but you are the sun , the moon , and the stars . wyatt : fine . butter me up with compliments , why do n't you ? sally : look , i ca n't say that i 'm happy that this happened , me dropping your brother 's name like that , but ... wyatt : mm - hmm . sally : i do think we know each other a little bit better now . wyatt : yeah . sally : we 're gon na be okay . even if it kills me . eric : that 's it , then . ridge : that 's it ? end of discussion ? eric : i do n't know what else i could say , ridge , not really . you saw my marriage to your mother up close enough , too close for me to pretend that i was the perfect husband . i could tell you that there were lines i never crossed , but i can't . ridge : mother was n't easy . eric : maybe i was too easy , and that 's what made her difficult . i do n't know . water under the bridge . blood and sweat , tears . try not to hurt brooke too much . ridge : that 's why i walked away . eric : and shauna fulton ? ridge : i do n't know . eric : you do n't know . well ... sometimes good things start when you do n't know . sometimes . shauna : all of this is so beautiful . it is . i mean , your house ... the clothes you wear , all these nice things . but if i had to choose , hypothetically , between all of this and ridge , i 'd want the man . quinn : you need to be careful . shauna : of what ? quinn : you 're my friend , and i want you to be happy , but still ... shauna : still , i know , there 's brooke . i know , i know , i know . the love of his life . i know . i know . i mean ... even if he does n't go back to her , i wo n't be the love of his life . quinn : sorry . i do n't mean to be a killjoy . shauna : you 're not . you 're a realist . and so am i. i 'm just , uh , an optimistic one . i do n't mind not being the first woman to love him . i can be perfectly happy being the love of the rest of his life . | ridge and shauna sit in a cozy way by the fire in the forrester mansion . quinn walks in the front door quietly , with her shoes off , but they do n't hear her . she watches them for a second , and they kiss . he rmouth drops open , shocked . she smiles and then goes upstairs . ridge figures he should go in to the office , and shauna wishes him a good day . at spencer publications , bill tells liam that he wants him to shake up the `` eye on fashion `` magazine . liam does n't want to be in conflict at work with wyatt . bill assures him that wyatt has other projects going on and has a new jewelry concept he wants to do as well . liam wonders to them why wyatt has n't given sally a real ring . bill thinks he has cold feet . he and liam are both worried about wyatt . outside bill 's office , sally protests to wyatt that she only called him `` liam `` because they had just been talking about him and welcoming him back to spencer . wyatt wonders if there is n't another reason , since she used to be in love with liam . sally assures wyatt that he is her knight in shining armor , not liam . wyatt insists that she be honest with him because she does n't want to be with yet another woman that would prefer liam . sally thinks that they 're both just scared to move forward after being hurt so many times . she asks what she can do to prove to him that she only has eyes for him . she suggests they run off to vegas this afternoon to get married . wyatt does n't think that 's a good idea . sally tells him that he 's her everything and that they 're going to get through this . |
nick : hi . massimo : dominic . nick : he let me in . i forget his name . massimo : hudson . nick : right , hudson . he seems to be in a perpetually bad mood . guess it 's contagious . massimo : hudson is not the problem . nick : oh , i guess i do n't have to ask why i 've been summoned to the royal palace . massimo : i talked to your mother . nick : yeah ? massimo : do n't you have anything to say for yourself ? nick : would it really make a difference ? massimo : at least i expect you to tell me what happened . nick : we can be straight with each other , ca n't we , pop ? massimo : so tell me why . why ! ? why on earth would you do something so reckless ! ? nick : well , sometimes we just do n't have answers for things , do we ? massimo : look , dominic -- i know that you had a bit of a past here with brooke , and i certainly did n't help . but i thought that was over . nick : it is . massimo : she is your brother 's wife , dominic . nick : think straight here , will you , pop ? this is n't about -- she was hurting . i thought i was helping . this is not -- or was not an affair . massimo : well , i certainly hope that it was worth it , because this is going to tear our family apart . ridge : hey . lo - o - ong day . brooke : not as long as yours . ridge : dad 's out on bail . brooke : how is he ? ridge : it 's hard to tell . he 's spending the night at mother 's , though . brooke : oh . well , how 'bout if i just get dressed , and then we can go out for some pizza , and we 'll take the kids ? ridge : that 's not very relaxing . brooke : okay . well , then , we 'll just order in . ridge : what are the chances of getting that pizza delivered to the bedroom ? hmm ? brooke : hmm ? ridge : see , katherine 's got the kids over at game night at uncle rick 's tonight . brooke : hmm . whose idea was that ? ridge : i just -- all those reporters hanging around mother 's and the jail , i did n't want them following me home and finding the kids here . brooke : so uncle rick is n't going to have the tv on , right ? ridge : i do n't think so . you know what ? neither are we . stephanie : come in . did you see any press down at the front gate ? sally : no . but i wish i had . i figure this historic meeting ought to be recorded . stephanie : no . now listen -- we ca n't get into any kind of discussion about eric , because it 's an ongoing investigation . sally : yes . i agree . but we will have to get into it eventually , but later . right now , i want to talk to you about something you need to here . stephanie : oh , sally , you know , this is n't the best of times . sally : it 's about brooke . stephanie : i know . sally : do you ? well , i 'll tell you what i know . i know for a fact that while you were grieving over the loss of your son , she was betraying him with his brother . stephanie : how did you find out ? sally : i have my sources . stephanie : ridge and brooke came to see me last night . sally : and he is going to forgive her . can you believe that ? oh , stephanie , come on . i mean , i can understand ridge being taken in by her , but not you . never you . oscar : so what 's this ? i 'm out scoring you some tasty ice chips , and you 're making out with my girl ? bridget : no . oscar : so you kissed him ? bridget : it 's not what you think . oscar : okay . well , then maybe somebody should set me straight here , 'cause i 'm starting to feel a little bent out of shape . nurse : excuse me , mr. sharp ? i need to take some blood and change your i.v . bridget : okay . we 'll wait outside . oz ? oscar : yeah , i 'm right behind you . okay . you want to tell me what i just walked in on there ? bridget : i 'm sorry you saw that . oscar : but you 're not sorry you did it . bridget : we both got a little bit emotional . oscar : yeah , look , i know you feel for the guy . all right , believe it or not , i do , too . you ca n't baby him . bridget : ozzy -- oscar : all right ? bridget : come on , he 's paralyzed . he might never walk again . oscar : yeah . so he needs our support , not our pity . bridget : that 's not what i was feeling . oscar : it 's just -- it 's not your fault . you know , your father should be the one racking his mind . bridget : my father picked up that gun to make a point . he was n't aiming for deacon . oscar : so it just went off ? bridget : deacon was trying to take it away from him . oscar : they were fighting about you ? bridget : okay , do we have to talk about this ? oscar : well , something must have set him off . i mean , i ca n't see your father as the kind of guy that would just fly off at the handle . bridget : he does n't like deacon . he never has . oscar : but you still have a -- what do you call it ? a soft spot for the guy . bridget : ozzy , come on . you have to know how unfair this was . i mean , my dad tricking deacon , barging into his house , the shooting . deacon did n't deserve any of this . oscar : i know ! i know he did n't . it 's not your job to make it up to him . here 's the thing -- deacon , he 's probably feeling really vulnerable right now . so all this sympathy you 're giving him could easily be mistaken for something else . that 's all i 'm saying . no , that 's not all i 'm saying . look -- i know you said you want to take this slow . and i am down with that . i am . i 'm so cool with that . but there 's something that i just want to make really clear . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm crazy about you . and i think you 're kind of into me , too . bridget : i am . oscar : then -- you should know something . i do n't like sharing . nurse : i 'm finished now . you can go back in . stephanie : i 'm not overlooking anything . i know what happened between nick and brooke . sally : fine . what do you plan to do about it ? stephanie : there 's nothing i can do . sally : nothing ? stephanie : it 's over . sally : what do you mean `` it 's over `` ? when brooke stole eric away from you , it was n't over until you 'd made her pay for it for years . stephanie : but she did n't pay , did she ? all i succeeded in doing was making my family miserable . i 'm not going to make that mistake again . sally : it was n't a mistake . and this latest scandal proves it . stephanie : it wo n't be a scandal until you turn it into one . sally : stephanie , brooke had an affair with ridge 's brother . do n't you realize that that child she 's carrying could be nick 's child ? stephanie : of course i realize -- of course i realize that and ridge is convinced it 's his . sally : and if ridge was convinced when he was 16 years old that he wanted to become a bull fighter , would you have been okay with that ? stephanie : he 's not 16 anymore . sally : you 're still his mother . and you 've got to protect him . stephanie : and she 's his wife . sally : uh - huh . and how did that happen ? come on , stephanie . you know very well that ridge is incapable of making a rational decision where brooke is concerned . so you are going to have to step in and make the right decision for him . ridge : you are tense . brooke : mm - hmm . ridge : definitely tense . brooke : but i 'm definitely starting to feel better . ridge : you a little nervous about tomorrow ? brooke : the test ? no . ridge : not even a little bit ? brooke : are you ? ridge : i 'm not talking about the results . i already know what those are going to be . this is not just a paternity test . brooke : the baby is going to be fine . ridge : there are risks . brooke : small ones . ridge : i just really do n't want you getting yourself all stressed out about this . brooke : and what about you ? this whole thing with your dad ? ridge : ah , you just let me worry about all that stuff . brooke : just as long as that 's all you 're going to worry about . ridge : that 's all . nick : was it worth it ? nick : was it worth it ? massimo : why , you think i should know better ? nick : yeah , i think you should know better , actually . massimo : well , you should , too . or do you expect me to believe that brooke forced herself on you ? nick : no , that 's -- no , it just -- it just happened . it happened . massimo : `` just happened `` ? damn it , dominic . things like this happen to a woman like brooke , but not to you . nick : okay . okay , i get it . i get it . massimo : look what you have lost with your brother . i just knew that this was going to end up badly with both of you involved with that -- that -- that woman . nick : do n't do that . do n't call her `` that `` woman . she could be the mother of my child . massimo : you say that as if it 's something to be proud of . nick : i 'm not proud of the way it happened . but , yeah , if the kid 's mine , i will be proud . ridge : this is going to be a beautiful baby . brooke : she 's going to be gorgeous . just like her daddy . ridge : i do n't know about the gorgeous daddy part , but -- do you have a feeling about whether it would be a -- brooke : boy or a girl ? ridge : yeah . you have a preference ? brooke : yes . i want this baby to be yours . ridge : i guess we 'll know for sure tomorrow . brooke : the results could take a few days . ridge : a few days ? what 's -- how many is a few days ? brooke : i 'm not sure . i told dr. paxson about our situation . she said she 'd put a rush on it . ridge : that 's good . brooke : yeah . ridge : it 'll be a big relief to have this over and done with . brooke : hmm .. for all of us . ridge : you sure nick is going to show up ? brooke : all he has to do is go by the office and give them a dna sample . ridge : so there 's a chance we might not even see him . brooke : knowing nick , we probably wo n't . deacon : hey , i thought maybe you left . brooke : we 're about to . deacon : you know , visiting hours are n't over yet . oscar : yeah , you should get some rest . brooke : we 'll be back tomorrow . deacon : you do n't have to go . oscar : you know what ? you need anything , you just give me a call , all right ? deacon : but not her , right ? look , man , i 'm sorry you 're ticked off that you saw us kissing . oscar : you know what ? we 're just going to forget about that , all right ? deacon : actually , i probably am not going to forget about it . i 'm telling you something right here and right now . i am going to get out of this bed and when i do , pal , i 'm going to give you a run for your money . oscar : good . i 'm looking forward to it . brooke : take care , you . deacon : okay . okay . what i said . i know you might be leaving with him , but there 's a part of you that 's going to be staying here with me . massimo : let me try to understand this . you want to be the father of brooke 's child ? nick : that 's not what i said . massimo : well -- but that 's what you meant . nick : no , it 's not . massimo : then what the hell are we talking about ? nick : i do n't think we are talking . you 're just throwing accusations at me . massimo : dominic , do you realize the riff that this can cause in our family ? nick : i think i do realize it . remember , i 'm living it . your son does n't talk to me , and brooke does n't acknowledge i 'm alive . massimo : well , then why do you keep defending her ? nick : 'cause it was n't her fault . massimo : oh , god . oh , god , i do n't understand . i simply do not understand the power that this woman has over men . well , what 's to understand ? certainly , i do n't love her . but that 's exactly what 's going on here , is n't it ? huh ? that is the reason that you are reacting the way you are . is n't it ? because , dominic , you are still in love with her . nick : you know , we have n't known each other very long , but you certainly know me pretty well . i do love her . and if she was n't married to my brother , i 'd love to have a child with her . but the fact is she is . and i love her so much that i want to put her happiness ahead of mine . but i pray to god every day , and i give you my word on this . i pray that ridge is the father of that child . stephanie : ridge has made his decision . sally : well , that does n't mean you have to support it . stephanie : sally , if i fight him on this , i 'll lose him . sally : oh , and he 's accusing me of blackmail . stephanie : i know it 's hard for you to accept and to understand , but i 've given him my word that i will support this . he needs that . sally : why ? if he 's so convinced that he 's doing the right thing , why does he need your blessing ? stephanie : he wants this child . sally : and brooke wants it to be his child . but what if it 's not ? stephanie : well , he 'd be devastated . sally : no . he 'd be free . come on , stephanie . you know i 'm right about this . i 'm just trying to make you see things as they are . stephanie : do n't interfere , sally . i do n't want my family dragged through the mud again . sally : well , then you better get brooke out of his life . stephanie : i wish i could , but i ca n't . the simple truth is he loves her . he 's in love with her . and if this baby is his , then that 'll be the end of it . the only thing i can do now is wait and see what happens with the paternity test . brooke : you know , i do n't really want to talk about this test anymore . ridge : then let 's not . there 's really nothing to worry about . brooke : it 's a simple procedure . ridge : and i 'm going to be there the whole time , right beside you . brooke : in the exam room ? ridge : yeah . where else would i be ? after all , this is our baby 's first checkup . brooke : it is . ridge : that 's all i want you concentrating on -- the health of our baby . so put all this paternity stuff out of your mind . brooke : there 's no question . ridge : not in my mind . the test is just going to confirm that . sally : all right , stephanie . obviously , i 'm going to have to save you from yourself . if you wo n't do anything to get brooke out of your life , then i am simply going to have to do it for you . and i got a pretty good idea how to do it . | massimo wanted nick to explain what happened with brooke . massimo is concerned the situation will tear the family apart . nick told massimo if the baby is his he will be proud . nick acknowledged he loved brooke , but he prayed his brother is the father of the baby . ridge planned a romantic night alone with brooke . they talked about the sex of the baby brooke 's only preference is that it 's ridge 's . |

brooke : you 're good , bill , very persuasive . but it would n't do any good keeping katie in the dark about this . what if she were to find out later ? how would that look ? bill : who 's going to tell her ? you ? me ? steffy ? steffy 's not going to tell katie that she kissed me the night before our wedding . brooke : well , you do n't know that . come on , bill . she 's obviously very attracted to you . what if she wanted to stir up some kind of trouble ? that is if your story is true . and i certainly have my doubts . bill : i would n't have married your sister if i were vulnerable to steffy or any other woman . i married katie because i want to spend the rest of my life with her . brooke : i still think katie should know . she trusts me . how could i not tell her ? bill : ( sighs heavily ) [ scene_break ] steffy : so ... what do you think ? ridge : what do you think ? steffy : i think it 's the best work you 've ever done . i just wish grandpa was here . ridge : girls , thank you . that 's all for today . woman : thank you . ridge : sweetheart , i wish he were here , too . but it 's his pride -- coming to this company , working for spencer . steffy : but this was your time to run forrester . after all the years you put in , it 's not fair . ridge : sweetheart , you have an opportunity now . it 's not the one i wanted to give you , but ...

'cause there 's ... you ? katie : how do you think thanksgiving went ? i mean , did i seem like a total basket case ? liam : well , i can tell you , you were a lot more composed than my dad or brooke . katie : did bill ... say anything ? i mean , i know the two of you are living together . so you can tell me . [ scene_break ] bill : i screwed up . you know it . i know it . the world knows it . what do you want me to do , brooke ? want me to crawl on my belly ? that 's not going to happen . brooke : i just want you to stop making inane excuses to see me or to talk to me , to speak to other people about me . it just makes things worse . bill : what things ? i 'm no more despised or rejected than i was when i walked in here , am i ? brooke : okay . it makes things worse for me . and what if katie had decided to stop by ? bill : you and katie are n't on visiting terms these days , are you ? brooke : what if i do n't like that feeling of pushing you away ? it hurts me , too , you know ? bill : then do n't . just be yourself . brooke : i ca n't . i -- i wo n't be that person that i ca n't trust anymore .

[ scene_break ] [ door opens , closes ] bill : we have to figure this out . brooke : we already have . we made a mistake , and now it 's over . so , maybe you should just travel around the world or jump out of an airplane , have your life flash before your eyes . bill : my niece is married to your son . we 're going to be seeing each other . brooke : well , never behind a closed , locked door in a room , alone . never again . bill : i ca n't accept that i 'm never going to touch you again , never going to lie down next to you again ... wake you up in the middle of the night . brooke : well , you know , life is funny that way . things happen , and ... life is short . bill : how much time did we have ? how many weeks ? brooke : i was n't counting . bill : so i 'm just supposed to tell myself that those few months were the best of my life and now they 're over ? brooke : i -- i ca n't really help you with a story that you tell yourself . bill : and what do you tell yourself , brooke ... when you 're alone at night ? brooke : goodbye , bill . that 's what i tell myself . [ sighs heavily ] [ cell phone chimes ] | there 's a photo shoot . oliver is snapping the photos of hope in sexy , provocative poses . wyatt is enjoying watching and of course shadow girl is taking notes and watching the expressions on everyone 's face . mostly doom and gloom in liam 's office , he 's throwing paper airplanes around when katie walks in . he tries to find out how her day is going but quickly it gets turned around that hope had a thing today , one that he is not too happy about surmises katie . he grumbles that suddenly it 's like wyatt is in charge of the entire pr department just because he offered some designs for hope 's line . he feels like he is losing her . brooke is back at work and bill suddenly strolls in . she tells him that he can not be here . he says he owns part of this company . he has every right to be here . he starts to close the door and she tells him to keep it open . he makes a point of closing it and locking it . she tells him this is not funny . he says it could even be hysterical if she calls security and tries to have him escorted out of here . she says it does n't make any difference ; he 's gon na do what he wants to anyway . he tells her she ca n't pretend that she does n't know him .. every part of him . that 's why he is here . they have unfinished business in her bedroom . she says he is disgusting . he says brooke 's bedroom .the biggest selling line in fc . my my , brooke 's mind tsk tsk ! katie tells liam okay , here goes . he has lost hope but not to wyatt . it has to be obvious even to liam that hope is not that same uncertain young woman that he fell in love with . hope 's had success , she 's had failure and then even greater success and more failure when she lost liam . these had major impacts on her . they force you to grow up and be self reliant . she points out that hope does n't need him like she used to and that is not a bad thing . he wonders if that means he has nothing to offer hope anymore . she says no , she just thinks he wants it the way it used to be ; him and hope against the world . and he 's the dragon slayer . but the world is on hope 's side now and she can slay those dragons all by herself . so stop poking around in hope 's mind and poke around in his own . he needs to know what he needs . then she asks him about thanksgiving day . she hopes she did n't come off acting like a basket case . she pries a bit if bill has seen or talked about brooke at home with him . he assures her that he has n't . katie asks if brooke has come over to see bill . again liam replies no . he 's like a crazy person as he gets up every morning like he has am army to command but there is nothing for him to do or nowhere for him to go . katie says the real kicker is those kind always win . if he 's made a strategic target on brooke then she better watch out . oliver takes lots more shots of hope then wyatt calls in maya and offers some suggestions to pose as best friends , as rivals , as sisters . wyatt then says somebody needs to break this up and he joins the girls in the shoot and asks if anyone ordered a plumber . aly looks uncomfortable . against wyatt 's wishes , oliver wants wyatt to get made up and take a few more shots . |

[ scene_break ] liam : i 'm sorry . i do n't buy that you were at the bakery . quinn : tough . i was . liam : well , which bakery , then ? give me a name . give me an address . quinn : oh , my god , liam ! just let it go , okay ? you 're like a dog with a bone . liam : no . sorry . not as long as you 're stalking hope . quinn : why would i do that ? i love hope and the baby she 's carrying . they 're my family . liam : no , they 're not . no , you were exiled , and it 's driving you crazy . quinn : no . what it is doing is it is ripping my heart apart -- being treated like a pariah instead of a loving , doting grandmother - to - be . liam : i hope you 're not suggesting that that is hope 's fault , after everything that you 've done to her . quinn : what i have done is make it possible for hope to be married to a man who idolizes her , someone who 's never gon na give another woman a second look , not like you did when you were juggling hope and steffy forrester . now , look , i may have been overzealous . liam : you may have been overzealous ? quinn : but that all changed when hope got pregnant . this baby changes everything . it made hope and wyatt 's marriage secure . i - i will never be a threat again . liam : and yet you keep stalking her . you keep insinuating yourself where you 're not wanted . what is it gon na take to get through to you , quinn ? know this -- as long as you are a threat to hope 's happiness , you wo n't be rid of me . [ scene_break ] ivy : i know this baby changed the course of everything -- your life and liam 's . hope : actually , quinn did that when she pushed you into the river and ... ivy : [ sighs ] hope : oh , god . i have to stop doing that . quinn obviously played a part in things , and she is paying for it now , but ... all of these might - have - beens that keep rolling around in my head -- they 're not helping anybody . and i want you to know that i - i am committed to my family -- to wyatt and -- and this child . ivy : and it 'll be wonderful . hope , you 're gon na be an incredible mother . hope : that 's what liam said . ivy : well , he said it because he knows you so well and because he cares . hope : and i care about him . [ scene_break ] bill : you should be concerned , wyatt . quinn 's unpredictable , to say the least . wyatt : [ chuckles ] you do n't know the half of it . bill : enlighten me . wyatt : well , for starters , she 's been shacking up with deacon sharpe . bill : mr . mug shot . yeah , i know . what else ? wyatt : hope . she 's taken such a strong stance . she 's insisted that mom not be a part of our lives or our baby 's . bill : right . i know that , too . wyatt : how ? bill : quinn came to me to solicit my support , which i , of course , would n't give her . so hope has every reason to be wary after all the stunts that she 's pulled . i appreciate that it puts you in the middle , and that 's a tough spot to be . wyatt : i just -- i feel bad cutting her out of my life , especially with the first grandkid on the way , but hope is my wife , and -- bill : and you got to tell quinn to steer clear . wyatt : i have , for all the good that it 's done . bill : you better take a stand . wyatt : how am i possibly gon na take a stand ? bill : get a restraining order . wyatt : [ chuckles ] bill : you got to show quinn that you mean business . if you do n't , she 's gon na keep badgering you and hope , especially hope . and that kind of stress is not good for a mother - to - be ... or for the baby she 's carrying . justin , get to my office now .

[ sighs ] i have no ill will towards liam the rescue ranger -- none . but i will say this -- some women need to be rescued . your sister is n't one of them . but the one thing steffy does need to be rescued from is liam himself . thomas : and you think wyatt is the man to do that ? [ electricity zaps ] whoa ! watch out ! let 's go down there . jake : yeah . i was not exaggerating . yeah . it 's a good thing you called , actually . jake : so , you can fix it ? i think so . steffy : i 'm not avoiding the conversation . let 's just see what jake 's text is about , okay ? liam : all right . fine . [ electricity zaps ] steffy : [ gasps ] liam : oh . okay . know what they meant by `` problem backstage `` now . steffy : whoa ! what the heck is going on ? that , uh -- that 's what i 'm trying to figure out . first thing i need to do is cut the power , so can you show me where the main breaker is ? jake : sure . sure . you guys mind keeping a watch until we get back ? liam : yeah , yeah . no problem . steffy : sure . sure . okay . just please make sure that nobody gets near this , because it 's very dangerous . liam : yeah , of course . no problem . steffy : okay . yeah . jake : okay . this way . liam : thank you guys . you got it . steffy : [ chuckles ] liam : are you laughing right now ? steffy : i 'm just thinking about the lightning storm the other night . and now we 're guarding this possessed , shorted - out board . i 'm just saying , you know , even when you 're mad at me , we still have electricity between us , right ? liam : [ scoffs ] steffy : right ? liam : you 're ridiculous . [ electricity zaps ] okay . we 're going . this is it . wyatt : if you really loved me and you loved spending time with me and if i meant anything to you at all , why would you ever look twice at thomas -- or any man , for that matter ? ivy : i do n't know . wyatt : not good enough , ivy . ivy : what do you want me to say ? what 's the right answer here ? yes , there was an attraction . is that it ? wyatt : yeah . he 's good - looking . he 's good - looking , is n't he ? but so is every other model that walks through forrester . but i 'm in what i would like to think of as a committed relationship , which means i do n't let my attractions dictate the choices that i make . you know what i was saying to my mom when we were in san francisco and you were too busy kissing mr. abs ? quinn : do n't do that . wyatt : she asked if i was worried -- if i was worried about thomas flirting with you , if i was concerned that the two of you were spending the night together alone under the same roof , and you know what i said ? i said , `` i trust her . `` i told her how good you were to me , how loyal and devoted you were to me . ivy : i 'm still that person . wyatt : really ? ivy : yes . i - i just -- i was a little lost . wyatt : lost ? ! again you were lost ? ! i mean , i believed it the first time , after everything that happened with aly and the attack on steffy and the blackmail . but i guess it 's no anomaly , is it ? because you 're lost again . you -- you cheated on me with thomas ! and i bet that was n't the first time . it was n't the only night , right ? there were more nights ? ivy : there were a couple of other kisses . wyatt : oh , my god ! seriously ? ! do you want to be with an entitled , spoiled little brat ? ! ivy : no ! wyatt : he just wants to sleep around , and that 's what you want ? ! you want to be with a guy who 's just gon na have a one - night stand with you ? ! ivy : wyatt , i do n't want to be with him ! i want to be with you ! i 'm in love with you ! that 's what i 'm trying to tell you ! just tell me what to do ! wyatt : i do n't know . quinn : i think wyatt understands steffy better than liam does . that 's all . thomas : you might be right . and maybe if things do n't work out for ivy and wyatt ... quinn : mm - hmm . thomas : ... maybe your wish for steffy and wyatt can come true . [ electricity zapping ] steffy : [ gasps ] liam : they 've got to get that under control . steffy : yeah . look , do you still want to talk about this ? liam : i do n't even know what there is to talk about . you went against my wishes right after telling me you would n't . steffy : [ sighs ] [ gasps ] liam : must have had to cut the power . steffy : could have been our moment . liam : are you kidding me right now ? steffy : i 'm playing with you . i 'm just playing . liam : well , do n't . do n't joke . do n't do anything . steffy : [ sighs ] of course . you 're the hero . liam : that 's not -- there you go again , doing the same thing . typical steffy . steffy : and you know what ? ivy does n't even need protecting . she needs protecting from herself . she 's the one that cheated on wyatt . and if it 's any consolation , it 's not like i blurted it out . i tried to avoid it , and wyatt just pulled it out of me . should that have happened ? they found the breaker ? liam : none of this should have happened . ivy : i know what i did was wrong . i know that . wyatt , if i could take this back , i would , but i ca n't . i ca n't do that , but what i can do is promise you that it will never happen again . you have to trust me . wyatt : yeah , `` trust `` is n't a word you should be using right about now . ivy : i 've hurt you , and i 'm sorry . but i will do anything to figure this out -- anything . i want to deserve your trust again . i know it 's gon na take a lot of work , but i do n't want to lose you . wyatt : i mean , i - i was gone for one night -- one night -- and then you turned to thomas . ivy : i know what i 'm asking of you is huge . wyatt : you 're asking me to constantly look over my shoulder , is what you 're asking me to do -- wonder if some guy that you 're attracted to is just gon na say one nice thing and it 's gon na get you into bed . ivy : no ! come on , wyatt ! wyatt : i thought we had something . ivy : we do . wyatt : after all that crap that you went through with liam , you wanted a relationship that was based on honesty just as much as i did . ivy : i do want that . wyatt : really ? you knew that i was upset about what thomas was doing -- flirting with you . but you just laughed it off . you made me feel like there was nothing wrong , that you had absolutely no interest in him . and that was being honest with me ? ivy : i did n't even think i realized at the time . wyatt : and then you did n't even have the decency to tell me ! i had to find out from steffy , of all people ! ivy : wait . what did you just say ? did you say steffy told you ? wyatt : yes . thankfully , yes . she let me in on the whole situation 'cause she 's looking out for me . ivy : steffy told you ? ! i told her not to say anything . wyatt : really ? ivy : oh , my god . i told her to stay out of this and that you needed to hear this from me first . wyatt : are you seriously upset at steffy for something you did ? ! ivy : this is none of her business , wyatt ! wyatt : she is my friend . she was looking out for me -- something you 're not doing right about now . ivy : it is completely self - serving , what she 's doing . why does no one see this ? ! this girl does n't like me ! she went to you first because she did n't want me to have a chance to do it the right way . wyatt : wow . ivy : do n't let her win this , wyatt . do n't . do n't let this end because of her . wyatt : she 's not the one doing that . ivy : oh , and i am ? wyatt : yes . ivy : ohh ! wyatt : i will not share you with thomas or any other man , for that matter . i 'm not gon na wonder who you 're thinking about when you 're with me . ivy : that 's not gon na happen . wyatt : you want thomas ? ! you got him . liam : i just -- i thought you were done with all the animosity . steffy : i 'm trying , liam . liam : well , okay . see , you say that , and then you turn around and you do something like this . so , you tell me , what am i supposed to think right now ? steffy : i 'm -- i 'm just doing what -- what i thought was right . liam : i know . i know . steffy : forgive me ? liam : it 's not me you should be asking for forgiveness , steffy . i mean , ivy and wyatt are the ones suffering right now . steffy : yeah . judging by his reaction , i 'm guessing their relationship is over .

that shooting , as horrible as it was , was a one - time mistake in a lifetime of service to her community , to her family , to her patients . hope : i understand why you would see it that way , but ... steffy , remember , i walked in on taylor yelling at my mom , telling her she hates her more than anything in the world , and you should have heard the way she talked to me about liam , how i destroyed your life and stole everything . steffy : hope , she 's trying to protect me . hope : something inside of your mother snapped when she found out you slept with bill , steffy , and i think you know that . and she does n't want to hear that her perfect daughter did something like this . and it 's not your fault . you took responsibility , and she wo n't hear it . but now there is this rage inside of taylor that just keeps building and building with nowhere to go , and my mom and i are easy targets . taylor : i am more shocked about what i 've done than you could ever be . brooke : i never thought that you were an angel , taylor , like so many people did . but i never thought that you were a shooter , a killer , either . taylor : [ sighs ] brooke : okay , no . no , you have n't actually killed anybody yet . but that excuses nothing . taylor : i remember patients telling me horrendous things they had done -- horrendous -- and i try to control the expression on my face as they sat there and said , `` i did n't mean to do it , that is n't like me . `` and , privately , i would think , `` you do n't know yourself very well , then . `` but i understand now what i did n't then . anyone is capable of anything . brooke : so it 's easier to make other people out to look bad or make it look like anybody could have done this instead of own up to what you did and who you are . taylor : you want to declare me a monster , ruthless , unstable ? that story would help you in so many ways . it might even get me locked up . but i am horrified . i am so ashamed of what i did . that is not me . and , brooke , if you were honest with yourself for once in your life , you would know that is n't true . you know ! eric : wait , lesley 's not gon na be here at all ?

taylor : argument ? no ! he assaulted my daughter ! brooke : [ sighs ] i know that 's what you and ridge want to believe , but steffy denies it . taylor : bill had to be confronted . i 'm one of the few people who know how weak he is . brooke : weak ? bill ? taylor : what do you think he 's hiding behind that mask of charm and power ? he actually came to me for therapy once , with your sister katie , but he threw the brakes on it because he knew that i knew exactly how to take him down . verbally . verbally . that 's all i wanted to do . that 's all i meant to do . with words . but not a word ever passed between us . i went to his house . my former house . and i caught ... his profile in the reflection of the glass , and there he was . his back was to me . it was as vulnerable as my daughter had been . and suddenly at my side was a gun . i do n't even know why my hand reached for it . or loaded . i never even heard the shot . i just saw him drop . and as soon as i realized what i had done , i knew that the life that had ended that night was mine !

nick : i do n't have a lot of time . jackie : well , i 'm glad you stopped by , nicky . nick : i 've been trying to say no to you my whole life , mother . it does n't work . is there coffee in this ? jackie : yes , it 's coffee , and i need to talk to you , darling , about the test . nick : well , as far as i 'm concerned , it 's over . jackie : this may not be the end of it . nick : well , it is for me . jackie : you do n't know that . nick : if there 's any fairness in the world , mother , yes , i do know it . jackie : is it fair for you to give up the woman you love ? is it fair for you to give up the possibility of having a child with her ? nick : i do n't want to talk about this anymore . we 've been over this . my feelings for brooke are inconsequential . this is about the two of them . their ships have been set on a course for years . jackie : he was married to someone else , darling . so was she . nick : and now they 've found each other . it 's a beautiful story . jackie : i do n't understand how you can make their relationship out to be some kind of fairy tale , when you know it 's not . i mean , they 've had so many problems . nick : and i 'm not going to put my name on the list of those problems . by the end of today , it 's going to be settled . we 'll find out and make sure that forrester 's the father of that child . dr. paxson : we should be all set , brooke . are you ready ? brooke : yes , i 'm ready . dr. paxson : okay , i 've already administered local anesthetic . let 's make sure it 's taken effect . can you feel that ? brooke : no . dr. paxson : good . as i 've explained before , the transabdominal procedure should only take a few minutes . the baby will be continuously monitored with the ultrasound . now , once i 've located the placenta , i 'll insert a needle and remove a small portion of chorionic villi cells . brooke : is that it ? dr. paxson : that 's it . the cells will be sent to the lab , along with the other two dna samples . ridge : are you going to do that later ? dr. paxson : after we 're finished here . you ready to get started ? do n't worry , brooke . i 've done over 50 of these tests this year . the risk to your fetus is minimal . ridge : we just want to make sure that our baby is healthy . dr. paxson : cv sampling is better than 99 % accurate in detecting hundreds of genetic and chromosomal disorders . brooke : when will we get the results back ? dr. paxson : usually it takes a week to ten days , but i 've talked to the lab . we should know something sooner . brooke : and the paternity results ? dr. paxson : we should even be able to tell you the sex of the baby . okay , just relax . this might be a little uncomfortable , but it will be over before you know it . brooke : okay . ridge : i 'm right here , logan . you heard the doctor . our baby is going to be just fine . jackie : stephanie , can you spare me a moment ? stephanie : oh , jackie . well , this is a surprise . jackie : really ? it should n't be . stephanie : oh , paternity test . jackie : do n't tell me you 've forgotten . stephanie : let 's just say i 'm trying to put it out of my mind . jackie : why ? are you having trouble with it ? stephanie : are n't you ? jackie : no . actually , i 'm not . i would have no problem accepting brooke and her baby into my family . stephanie : if it 's nick 's baby . jackie : and if it 's ridge 's , can you say the same ? no . you ca n't . which is why i hope that this child is related to me . stephanie : well , i think there 's a very slim chance that 'll happen . nick : hey , forrester . where 's brooke ? ridge : getting dressed . nick : so it 's over . ridge : yeah . once we finish the dna test , you 're done . jackie : still , you would n't be heartbroken if this baby was nick 's . stephanie : well , i think ridge and brooke would be . jackie : you do n't think that nicky could make her happy ? stephanie : she 's in love with my son . jackie : yes . but she could have feelings for nicky still . stephanie : why ? just because they had sex in puerto vista ? jackie : no . because he 's a good man . because he cares very deeply for her . stephanie : well , i ca n't dispute that , but she 's chosen ridge . jackie : well , if this baby turns out not to be ridge 's , she might just have to re - evaluate that choice . stephanie : and she might not . jackie : their connection is that strong ? stephanie : i think some people would call it obsessive . jackie : do you ? stephanie : well , their history certainly supports it . it certainly explains why she never gives up on him and why he always returns to her . jackie : yeah , but to return , you 've got to leave . stephanie : and he has , for years at a time , and then he comes back . jackie : so nothing 's going to keep them apart ? stephanie : i think her heart belongs to ridge . stephanie : jackie , she 's married to ridge now . they 're planning a family , and she 's not going to allow anything to interfere with her marriage . jackie : you 're willing to accept that ? stephanie : it 's not a question of me accepting it . look , even if the baby is nick 's , she 's not going to walk away from the marriage . jackie : so what are you saying ? that nicky was just a diversion for her ? stephanie : mm - hmm . jackie : no . uh - uh , i do n't think so . they have a bond together . nicky brought out something in brooke . they may only have been together for a couple of months , but it meant something to her , more than she 's willing to accept , even to herself . and , stephanie , nicky loves her . and he wants the baby to be his . nick : so how 'd it go in there ? is brooke okay ? ridge : brooke 's fine . nick : guess i do n't need to ask about you . ridge : just as well . nick : it 's not that i 'm not interested . ridge : no , i 'm sure you are very interested . nick : come on , forrester , i 'm not going to play games with you . you got something else to say to me , say it . ridge : you know , the thing is , nick , i do n't have anything to say to you . neither will dr. paxson once this test comes back . nick : well , i hope you 're right . guess it 's a little tough for you to believe that , is n't it ? ridge : yeah , a little . nick : well , i swear to you , on the medical source guide . i do n't want to steal your wife . ridge : you know , it 's really cute you can make jokes so easily about all this . brooke just had a needle jammed into her belly to prove i 'm the father of that child . nick : i 'm not joking . ridge : tell dr. paxson , will you , that i 'll be in the waiting room . nick : hey , forrester , hang on . hang on , hang on . i got nothing to say to you except -- i apologize . ridge : oh , i 'm sorry , too . i 'm sorry brooke ever got mixed up with you . nick : i do n't want to interfere with your marriage . ridge : you want this baby to be mine ? nick : i want it to be yours . i want -- i want her to be happy and -- ridge : well , that 's very noble . very noble , indeed . but you know what that really says to me ? it tells me just how much you 're actually in love with my wife . dr. paxson : your husband seems like a very understanding man . brooke : he understands me . dr. paxson : the paternity issue does n't seem to have affected your relationship . brooke : we wo n't let it . dr. paxson : i ca n't tell you how rare that is . brooke : he 's one in a million . dr. paxson : i was concerned the situation might cause you too much stress . that can be dangerous to the baby . brooke : i 'm okay . i 've been taking good care of myself . dr. paxson : stress was a factor in your last pregnancy . brooke : i 'm fine . i 'm better than fine . dr. paxson : i 'm your doctor , brooke . you can tell me anything . brooke : well , there 's nothing to tell , really . you 've seen it for yourself . you always hear those stories of unconditional love , of those couples that can survive anything . and you wish you were one of them , but you 're not sure until something happens . well , now i know . dr. paxson : you are n't concerned about the paternity test ? brooke : oh , i 'm really concerned about the baby . this is her first checkup . dr. paxson : or his . brooke : yes , i guess we 'll find that out , too . paternity is n't the only question that 's going to be answered by this test . dr. paxson : no , and it 's not the only reason the test was administered , but it is important . brooke : absolutely . ridge and i want to have this cleared up as soon as possible . dr. paxson : and what about the other party , mr. payne ? how is he feeling about all of this ? brooke : he does n't want to cause any problems between ridge and me . dr. paxson : so he 's just as understanding as his brother ? brooke : he 's a wonderful man , and he 's going to make an incredible father someday . but this is n't his child . dr. paxson : i 'm sorry . if you were so sure -- brooke : do you believe in women 's intuition ? dr. paxson : yes , but i leave the certainties to science . brooke : and this test is going to prove me right . dr. paxson : and if it does n't ? brooke : ridge and i have been waiting for this child for a very long time . to think that we could be robbed of this experience , this manifestation of our love , i just ca n't think about it . dr. paxson : i understand . brooke : and it 's nothing against nick . he 's been an amazing friend to me . and i do love him , but not the same way that i love ridge . they 're two very different people . dr. paxson : and they 're waiting in my office . are you ready ? ridge : go ahead , nick , deny it . nick : we 've already been over this , forrester . one thing i wo n't deny in this -- that you 're my brother , and i love you . ridge : spare me the speech about loyalty and family unity , will you ? 'cause i do n't think you really know the meaning of the words . nick : i know it 's hard for you to imagine now , but when these test results come back , you just might look at this a little differently . ridge : when these test results come back , nick , i wo n't have to look at you again , ever . stephanie : nick wants to be the father ? jackie : i 've heard him say it . stephanie : has he said that to brooke ? jackie : i do n't think so . stephanie : has he discussed it with her ? jackie : what are you saying ? have they been meeting behind ridge 's back ? no , stephanie , they have n't . my son respects their marriage . stephanie : you do n't . jackie : i 'm thinking of my son . stephanie : mm , and the grandchild that maybe she 's carrying . jackie : i 'd love that child , without reservation , could you ? stephanie : well , i 'm certainly not going to punish an innocent little baby because of his mother 's mistakes . jackie : a mistake ? i do n't see this as a -- a mistake . nick and brooke , they belong together . they make each other happy . it 's -- stephanie : look , brooke has an uncanny knack for making unhealthy choices . jackie : yeah . well , that 's why this could be such a godsend , for both of them . it is out of their hands . their future is going to be decided by this test . dr. paxson : good . everyone 's here . nick : is this going to take long ? dr. paxson : not at all . ridge : good . let 's get it done , so we can get out of here . jackie : we both want our sons to be happy . stephanie : and you think that nick could be happy with brooke ? jackie : i saw it . so did you . why else would you have stranded them on that island ? stephanie : oh , that was just wishful thinking . jackie : no , i think it was more than that . stephanie : not until we have the results of the test . jackie : my son needs this , stephanie . he needs it . he 's spent his whole life just sailing from port to port , never putting down roots , never staying anywhere long enough to put down roots . well , all of that changed . he came to l.a . he found his father . he met brooke . and it just opened him up . he needs that woman , stephanie . he needs her . the day that brooke and ridge announced their engagement , what did he do ? he took off for korea . if this child turns out to be ridge 's , he 's just going to leave again maybe this time for good . stephanie : i see . you do n't want to lose him . jackie : i could n't bear it . stephanie : jackie , it 's out of our hands . jackie : ridge , he has children . he has a family . and his last marriage , well , i mean , could n't have been happier , could it ? he 's had his chance . i think my son deserves one , too . stephanie : well , all you can do is hope . nick : so what do we do ? roll up our sleeves ? dr. paxson : no . ridge : you 're not taking blood ? dr. paxson : skin cells from inside your cheeks . ridge : that 's accurate ? dr. paxson : ninty nine percent of the time . open . good . okay . and again . each of your swabs has been given a number that corresponds with the names on that chart . i 'll send brooke 's cv sample and your dna to an independent lab , where the results will be analyzed and reported . open . good . one more . brooke : why two ? dr. paxson : it 's just a precaution in case of contamination . the lab runs two tests just to make sure they get a consistent result . got a medical courier waiting outside who will take these samples to the hillside clinical lab . i 've asked them to rush the results . they should begin working on your case today . ridge : so we might find out within a few days then ? dr. paxson : they 'll do the best they can . brooke : thank you , doctor . dr. paxson : i 'll be right back . ridge : i 'd say you 're done . nick : i 'll wait for the doctor to tell me that . brooke : is this the way it 's going to be from now on ? you do n't know how much it hurts to see the two of you this way . i know we 're all anxious about the test results . this is a very tense situation . but do n't forget , we all want the same thing . we want to get back to normal . and we can . maybe not overnight , but i do believe it 's possible . and once we get those test results back , ridge and i will go on with our lives , with our marriage . and the three of us will pick up the pieces . you 're brothers . we 're all family . do n't forget that . dr. paxson : these need to be delivered to the hillside clinical lab right away . announcer : coming soon -- sally : i think you should enjoy these fleeting moments with your husband , brooke , because they 're going to end . brooke : what was that ? sally : very soon . | nick and jackie discussed the paternity test . ridge was with brooke as the test was performed . the doctor explained the results would be available in about a week though she did put a rush on them . sally overheard where the tests were being sent . |

eric tries to be optimistic that maybe she has changed . stephanie doubts it , she was always controlling and in control of her emotions . she 's just afraid she is going to be so cheerful in that pathetic , vacant sort of way and just deny everything . hector tells taylor and thorne that he is getting out of her life . he realizes he has caused her some real problems . thorne offers his malibu place for free . hector will be doing him a favor by looking after a vacant place . |

( sighs ) hope : i think that it 's going to make things a lot easier next time we see each other and the time after that . liam : uh - huh . is that -- is that what we 're going for ? we want it to be easier ? we want to ... forget what we lost ? hope : we want it to be bearable , do n't we ? liam : yeah . you look really great , by the way . hope : ( chuckles ) liam : and you never could take a compliment . hope : ( laughs ) ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] brooke : i used to think hope and liam were meant for each other , and now i 'm not so sure , because every time something goes wrong , liam runs to steffy . and hope is too young to know that marriage is n't medicine . it does n't cure everything . i made that mistake too many times . so i think the best thing to do is just to let them figure it out . caroline : but they do n't know what 's real . hope still thinks that liam cheated on her . bill : because of your boyfriend 's lie . look , i may have meant to keep liam from marrying the wrong girl , but that did n't happen , did it ? they said their `` i dos . `` in fact , i welcomed hope into the family with open arms . it was n't until the next go - around that everything fell apart , because of this clown 's behavior , not mine . caroline : you can honestly stand there and claim that you did nothing wrong ? bill : that 's not what i said , so do n't put words in my mouth . i own that i betrayed my son by not keeping my promise to stop interfering in his life . and you know this , why ? because you were eavesdropping , miss `` holier than thou . `` and now you want to be the heroine and potentially sever the relationship that i have built with my son . caroline : no , liam loves you . i do n't believe that -- bill : you do n't know him . look , you 're not hearing me . liam and hope are n't married because that 's how things fall with them . now you want to try and play this song again ? well , it 's not gon na help anyone . well , that 's not true . you may be helping yourself by assuaging your guilt at your sister 's expense . rick : ( scoffs ) ( elevator bell dings ) rick : ( sighs ) caroline : ( sighs ) glad to be getting back to our offices . rick : now i 'm not sure what to do anymore , not after that conversation . caroline : maybe i was naive . there 's just so much more to think about than i even realized . rick : what about hope ? caroline : i do n't know , because if she gets any sadder or lonelier , i do n't really see how i can stand by and say nothing . rick : but what if liam and steffy are really meant to be together ? what 's that gon na do to my sister ? ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ( elevator bell dings ) ( cell phone rings ) ( ring ) steffy : hey . liam : i had to come back to the office . where did you disappear ? steffy : hope was looking like she wanted to talk and so were you . how did it go ? liam : you know , okay . steffy : so things may be a little less awkward ? liam : yeah , maybe . ( sighs ) ( telephone rings ) liam : uh , hey , listen , i - i - i got ta get this . i 'll see you at home ? steffy : you can count on it . i love your face . ( ring ) liam : okay . yeah ? [ scene_break ] hope : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] bill : so do you think i 'm a terrible person ? brooke : do i have to decide right now ? bill : right now . brooke : would you be terribly disappointed if i were to say `` no `` ? bill : no , actually , that works with my theory . brooke : what theory is that ? bill : that any woman who sees me naked ca n't completely hate my guts . brooke : ( laughs ) so ridiculous . bill : ( chuckles ) what 's so funny ? brooke : i do n't know . i - i - i 'm just so comfortable with people who like themselves , and you certainly have mastered that . bill : not to mention the fact that i can pilot a hot air balloon . brooke : oh , right . that is a practical skill . bill : well , sure it is , particularly if you 're lost in the woods with nothing but a hot air balloon . brooke : ( chuckles ) bill : i 'm your man . brooke : and what if i 'm lost in the woods under an evil spell ? bill : happens all the time . brooke : not for us , bill . yes , there was that kiss , and i 'm not in agonies of guilt over it , but the circumstances have changed . bill : yes , they have . but i 'd be lying if i said it was n't nice . brooke : yeah . it was lovely . but it was a unicorn , the last of its kind . it was magical ... but never to be spoken of again . | very sarcastically , bill looks at rick and caroline and says they have already decided amongst themselves that honesty is the best policy . rick admits he lied to his sister and had good reasons . bill chides him for suddenly getting morals . and there is no such thing as the right thing . that 's the equivalent of a high school santa claus . he told a lie and now rick wants to untell the lie so he can suck up to bill 's niece . caroline speaks up and says yes rick told a lie , but she 'd rather be with a man who does that and then tells the truth than one who constantly hides behind the truth . and liam might feel that same way so it 's best the truth come from bill of why deacon was in italy rather than it coming from any of them . hope asks liam if she has said too much . he says she can tell him anything . she says she is just telling him how she feels . she 's not asking him to do anything , but when she thinks about her life , she knows she is supposed to spend it with him . she continues that she knows he is happy with steffy , and she does n't want him unhappy , but she really feels he is the one she is supposed to spend her life with . he stammers that yesterday he would have said it was getting easier to give up the dream of them , but now standing here with her that is n't exactly true . he feels like they really tried hard and it went the other way and the worst is behind them . she says it is nice to be able to relate to him in a new way , not expecting or demanding . he asks if they can still be friends . she knows they will always be connected with each other . she says he 's always had this attraction to steffy and needed to see where that would lead . he agrees that she has been amazing .patient and trusting and anything he says or does is cool . he reminds her that he did not choose steffy over her ; hope did say no . she agrees that it was not fate or bad luck . they made the only decisions they could at the time . he does n't feel this talk has exactly settled everything , but she admits it will get easier each time they see each other . he wonders if that is what they want to do forget what they lost . |

steffy : me ? run forrester ? quinn : as ceo . how do you feel about that ? steffy : your idea ? quinn : yes . steffy : you realize how transparent you are ? quinn : [ sighs ] yeah , well , i 'm not surprised that you would see it that way . steffy : you want me back with wyatt as part of the deal , right ? quinn : yes and no . would i like you back with wyatt ? of course i would because it 's clear you two still love each other . but no , steffy , it 's not part of the deal . in my opinion , you are the only eligible candidate to carry on your grandfather 's legacy . wyatt : so , your best advice is to stay the course ? eric : yes . unless you 're willing to move on without steffy . wyatt : [ sighs ] eric : look , your brother 's a good man . but in my humble opinion , you and steffy belong together . wyatt : [ scoffs ] someone should tell her that . she 's already filed for divorce . eric : but it 's not final . do n't give up on her . liam : thanks for bringing these by . zende : yeah , of course . hope you like them . liam : yeah , well , your proofs are usually passable . zende : high praise . wow , i mean , you 're starting to sound like your old man . liam : yeah , yeah . zende : how 's he doing ? liam : you heard about that , huh ? zende : i did . he broke up with brooke . yeah , r.j.

quinn : i suggested that she might be made c.e.o . of forrester . eric : what ? quinn : well , okay , you 've already made it clear that you may not want to go back , and i know you 're not gon na give it to ridge because of everything that he 's done to you and to the family , and -- see , steffy is a powerhouse , right ? i mean , she embodies everything that forrester stands for -- class , beauty , youth . if she joined forces with you and with me ... she 'd be perfect for the job . eric : it might bring her and wyatt back together again . quinn : well , yeah , that thought did cross my mind . i mean , it 's not gon na hurt their relationship . and the sooner , the better , before the divorce is finalized . honey , i know i am being presumptuous here , but ... i believe so strongly , just like i did during thanksgiving , that steffy is the one who can heal this family and brings us all together . steffy : your mom 's getting very good , i must say . suggesting i run forrester ? very clever . wyatt : it 's more than clever . it 's brilliant . who else is more qualified to run the company ? steffy : besides my dad and my grandfather ? probably no one . wyatt : okay . steffy : it 's quinn . remember ? the puppet master ? pulling strings to get what she wants ? and what she want is to become permanent c.e.o . she could n't win over the troops , so plan b -- win steffy over . wyatt : wow . you -- you really have those blinders on tight , do n't you ? steffy : are you comparing to me to a horse right now ? is -- is that what 's happening ? wyatt : i did n't mean to . but a beautiful thoroughbred . steffy : mm . wyatt : i 'm just -- steffy , anyone with an ounce of objectivity can see that my mother has changed . steffy : so she wants us to think . wyatt : no ! she has a new passion in life , and it 's your grandfather . love does that to people . at least it did it for me . they 're good together , and you know that . just like we were . eric : he 's right ! we are good together , and that 's a vast understatement . steffy . i want to talk to you . would you give us some time alone together ? liam : well , thanks for bringing these by , man . zende : yeah . not a problem . liam : and , uh , yeah , i would n't worry about it . we 're gon na get rid of quinn somehow . in fact , i bet steffy 's working on it right now . wyatt : how did eric react ? quinn : he was thrown . wyatt : but did he like the idea , like , putting steffy in charge ? quinn : [ sighs ] it 's hard to tell . i hope so . eric : she has changed , steffy . steffy : granddad , i -- eric : yeah , i know , how many times have i said that before ? i 'd really like to stop having to say that . i know you have some very strong beliefs where my wife is concerned , but these things that you believe about her simply are n't true anymore . steffy : see , it worries me when i hear these things from you because it 's like you 're setting yourself up for something very bad to happen . eric : who knows quinn better than her son ? and he has accepted her transformation , he 's accepted our marriage . wyatt 's as clever as they come . but quinn 's suggestion to you should speak volumes . now , i know -- i know you 're under the impression that she wanted to keep this job , the c.e.o . position , on into the future , but she 's never hinted to me that that 's what she wanted . she has n't . quinn has no interest in running forrester on a permanent basis . and neither do i . now , if i take myself out of the picture , who does she strongly believe should be running the company ? you , steffy . you . ridge : do you remember ? brooke : how could i ever forget ? singer : every time i see you there it takes me back to the first time across the room , i caught your stare and it all felt like a sign the way you make me feel the only thing that 's real whenever you are near destiny appears our love is a story a beautiful journey destinations unknown after all of these years , the laughs and the tears it 's still you and me here making destiny appear after all of these years , the laughs and the tears it 's still you and me here making destiny appear mmm mmm quinn : i hope i got through . to both of them . wyatt : well , it 's a good idea . no one 's more prepared to run forrester than steffy . quinn : it is what 's best for the company . and maybe this will be her first step to opening her eyes to me , to you , to a marriage that never should have ended . wyatt : well , it has n't . technically , not yet . steffy : i ca n't believe you 're even considering quinn 's idea . eric : you do n't think you 're capable of running the company ? steffy : [ scoffs ] eric : of course you do . so do i . you know , it may have been quinn 's idea , but -- but i 'm c.e.o . i 'm the one who 's asking you . steffy : [ scoffs ] i 'm honored . i 'm -- i - i 'm amazed . but what about dad ? eric : i do n't trust him . steffy : i feel the same way he does . eric : i think you probably do , but your heart is not as hardened as his , i do n't think . steffy : what about rick ? what about -- what about thorne ? eric : they 'll always have a place in the company . but if you joined forces with quinn and me , we 'll have control . i 'm well aware of the percentages , steffy . steffy : okay , but i -- i know you think quinn wants what 's best for the company , but i do believe there 's other reasons . eric : i 'm well aware of that , too , she 's not hiding that . you 're in the middle of divorcing her son . she 's devastated . steffy : devastated ? granddad , she set us up . eric : you blame quinn for your marriage ? you blame her for the vows you made to wyatt ? do n't victimize yourself , steffy -- that 's not you . you married wyatt because you love him . you 're letting your hatred for quinn cloud your thinking . sometimes , we do n't see things the way they are . we only see things the way we are . you can change that . steffy : i do n't know , granddad . eric : i do n't want to tell you who to choose as a life partner . i do n't want to do that . but the divorce is not final yet . give it a chance . take some time . consider wyatt . and consider that your grandfather might be a little smarter than sometimes you give him credit for . okay ? i do love quinn . i love her deeply . she only wants what 's best for me . and she wants what 's best for you , too . that 's why she has suggested this to you . steffy : you 'd honestly consider it ? eric : i have considered it . i think you 'd be a champion leading this company on into the future , bringing this family back together . it 's in your hands , steffy . say yes . you can be the next c.e.o . of forrester creations . ridge : hi . brooke : hi . ridge : i do n't think i 've ever been happier . i do n't even know how we lost each other . not important . we found our way back . brooke : `` finding our way back `` -- that should be the title of our memoir . ridge : [ chuckles ] it 'd be an exciting read , that 's for sure . brooke : i do n't know about you , but i could use a little less excitement in my life . ridge : i 'm sorry . you , me , r.j. -- the family back together ? it does n't get more exciting than that . i love this room . brooke : it 's our bubble . we would always come here to escape from the real world . ridge : rediscover each other . brooke : so many years . so many changes . but some things stayed the same . i love the way your skin feels . i ca n't ever lose you again . you bring out the best in me . you know me better than anybody . this is our journey . i remember how it started . you were catering a party at my mom 's house . but i do n't know how it 's gon na end . i do n't care how it 's gon na end . as long as i 'm with you . my logan . brooke : your logan .
