Liam: I don’t think hope is trying to create problems for you and finn.
Steffy: I’m not so sure about that.
Liam: You know what? You– you two have had a long and tangled history and I don’t know what I’m talking about necessarily. I don’t know how that feels.
Steffy: No, no, no. I should just– I should just stop venting about hope.
Liam: No, you’re fine. You’re totally fine to vent. I mean, and by the way, you’re not at all wrong about sheila. She absolutely, inarguably is dangerous.
Steffy: So you really believe that I have nothing to worry about with hope?
Carter: So the billboard next to the chateau, is that included in the budget?
Katie: Um, no. Uh, yes. I mean, yes.
Carter: What about the one on michigan avenue? Katie.
Katie: Oh.
Carter: Earth calling katie.
Katie: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. Um, what are– what are we talking about, I…
Carter: Wow, I lost you there, didn’t I?
Katie: Yes, I– that’s obvious, I guess.
Carter: Yeah, well, I– I know you too well. If something’s on your mind, you can tell me.
Katie: There’s just something I’m really having a hard time wrapping my head around, and– and it has to do with bill.
Bill: I still can’t believe I have a daughter. You are this remarkable young woman, and you are my child.
Luna: I’ve always wondered if I’d ever meet my dad, or even know his name. And now that I have you in my life, I mean, I couldn’t have picked a better dad.
Poppy: I’m so happy for both of you, and I am overjoyed that we’re all together. Finally, we get to be a real family.
Carter: Did bill do something?
Katie: Uh, well, not quite the way you’re thinking, but yeah, yeah, he did something with someone.
Carter: What does that mean?
Katie: Bill has a daughter.
Bill: My house is your house. This is your home now.
Luna: I mean, this is insane, right? Last night, my mom and I slept in my apartment.
Poppy: And now we’re moving in.
Luna: I’m sorry. Can you tell we’re like a teeny bit excited?
Bill: Well, I don’t know who’s more excited.
Poppy: Well, I just can’t believe this is our new life.
Steffy: Hope needs to stop making excuses for sheila.
Liam: Is– is that what she’s doing?
Steffy: Yeah, she’s giving her grace. And she deserves zero forgiveness.
Liam: Well, we completely agree on that. I just– the problem is finn would say it’s more complicated.
Steffy: Finn’s emotions around his biological mother are already mixed up as it is. And now hope is promoting a relationship between them? The last thing I need is hope to be spending time with my husband.
Finn: Hope? Hope? Hey. You– you okay? What– what’s going– I lost you there for a second.
Hope: Um, what– what were you saying again, I…
Finn: Um, oh, I was just saying how much I admire you and respect you. You embody the name of your line. Hope for the future. Auntie, you can’t put that right in the dishwasher.
Katie: So, will has a brand new half-sister, if you can believe it.
Carter: And you said she’s in her early 20s and that bill just found out?
Kate: Yeah, the mother kept it to herself. She didn’t even tell her daughter.
Carter: So nobody knew?
Katie: No.
Carter: Why not reach out to bill? Give him a chance to be in his kid’s life.
Katie: Well, apparently she wasn’t 100% sure that bill was the father. And I guess she didn’t wanna look like a gold digger.
Carter: So she just comes out of the woodwork and gives him a paternity test?
Katie: Pretty much.
Carter: This is a trip, katie. Wow, a trip for all of you.
Katie: Yeah, well, that’s not all. Bill’s daughter is someone you know. Someone you see every day.
Carter: Who?
Katie: Luna.
Carter: Wait, luna, rj’s girlfriend?
Katie: Uh-huh, yeah. The woman that bill was grooving with in golden gate park was luna’s mother, poppy.
Poppy: It’s just been the two of us for so long, and we’re used to living in these tiny rentals.
Luna: But you always made them look so cute, though. It never felt small to me.
Bill: Well, that’s because they were filled with a tremendous amount of love.
Poppy: That’s right. And that’s exactly what we’re gonna do here. Fill this place with all the love and joy that we’ve missed out on sharing over the years.
Bill: I’m just glad you both agreed to move in. And I– I know it’s happening quickly.
Luna: No, no, I don’t wanna wait any longer. I wanna do all of the fun father-daughter things, and I wanna get to know you better. Dad.
Bill: Wow, dad. Hearing you call me that, I can get used to this.
Poppy: And don’t worry, we’ll contribute. We’re not freeloaders.
Bill: Poppy, come on. I mean, your– your presence here is more than enough. Worth its weight in gold.
Poppy: Thank you, bill. You know, in a million years, I never would’ve imagined living with a man like you in a place like this. I truly am so grateful.
Steffy: Okay, first, hope and finn are at sheila’s memorial. Then they’re at sheila’s wedding. Do you think that hope bonding with my husband, she’s trying to get under my skin?
Liam: What I think is that finn is sheila’s son, hope is deacon’s daughter, and that’s the whole connection. That’s it.
Steffy: Okay, I know that she wants a connection with her father. I mean, yeah, fine. I– I get it. He never shot her. That’s the difference. He’s not a cold-blooded murderer, right? Look, I just want– I really want hope to back off. And stop putting my husband in these risky situations.
Finn: You okay?
Hope: Uh, yeah, I– I didn’t expect to feel this way.
Finn: Well, they’re unpredictable. Migraines can come up at the worst possible moments.
Hope: I didn’t see it coming. But thank you for being so wonderful about it all.
Finn: Is– is the throbbing getting worse? I mean, you look– you look a little flushed.
Hope: I do?
Finn: Yeah.
Hope: Um, I’m– I am sure it will pass. I’m sure it’s nothing.
Finn: It doesn’t look like nothing, hope. Be honest with me. What’s going on in that head of yours? (Vo) for over 50 years
Carter: So your egomaniacal ex-husband is luna’s dad.
Katie: Yeah, small world, right?
Carter: Wow.
Katie: Yeah, I mean, what’s funny is that wyatt and liam came into bill’s life kind of around the same age. I mean, will is the only child that bill has that he’s actually known since birth.
Carter: Yeah, do you think he’ll be into having a surprise sister?
Katie: Ah, he’ll probably be fine with it. I mean, he might even be excited about it. I– I don’t know.
Carter: What’s not to like about luna, right?
Katie: No, no, you’re right, you’re right. She’s smart, she’s talented. I guess we’ll all just get over the shock and welcome her into the family.
Carter: Mm-hmm. What about poppy?
Katie: What about her?
Carter: What’s your vibe on her?
Katie: Well, I’ve only met her once. But she raised a great daughter, so I guess I have to admire her for that.
Carter: Mm-hmm, yeah, you respect her as a woman mother to mother, but she’s still bill spencer’s former fling.
Katie: Well, bill’s allowed to do whatever he wants. We haven’t been a couple for a long time. You were my last relationship.
Carter: Yeah, but still, how do you feel about bill having a child with poppy?
Bill: Now that you’ve had the official grand tour, what do you think?
Poppy: Isn’t it remarkable, luna?
Luna: I mean, it’s like the most gorgeous mansion I’ve ever seen.
Poppy: And that’s saying a lot. She watches all those fancy real estate shows on tv.
Bill: Well, I’m glad you both approve.
Luna: I mean, it’s just incredible, everywhere I look.
Bill: What’s incredible is that I have you two beautiful women in my life.
Poppy: Thank you, bill, for your understanding and for welcoming luna into your life with open arms.
Luna: I mean, look, this is all a dream come true, and the house is beyond awesome, but… I’d move anywhere with you guys, if it meant that we could be a family.
Bill: Speaking of family, it’s time.
Luna: Time for what?
Bill: Time for you to meet one of your brothers.
Liam: I respect where you’re coming from. I really do. I just– uh, I would hate to see your old rivalry just get kicked up a notch.
Steffy: No, it’s– it’s not about that for me.
[ Cell phone chimes ]
Steffy: Hope keeps messing with my marriage.
Liam: Um, it’s my dad, and he’s summoning me to the house, and he says it’s important.
Steffy: No, it’s fine, go. I– I really gotta stop venting to you. I’m really sorry.
Liam: No, you’re fine, and just do me a favor. Just for now, try not to get too upset about hope. I really don’t think that she’s doing this intentionally.
Steffy: I really just want hope to stop encouraging my husband to hang out with sheila. She knows that is the one thing I told him not to do. And here I go venting again. I’m sorry. It’s just, hope spending so much time with my husband, it’s– it’s really getting on my nerves.
Finn: Your– your cheeks are a bit pink. Are you– are you hot?
Hope: Um, a little.
Finn: Okay, well here, let me– can I? Okay, well you don’t have a fever.
Hope: Well, that’s good. I’m sure whatever it is, it’s not a big deal.
Finn: Okay, well, I think that we should get to the bottom of what’s really bothering you.
Hope: Oh, I don’t think– we don’t have to do that.
Finn: No, look, it’s okay. All right, really, I’m a doctor. It’s– it’s a safe space. Whatever, you know, is ailing you, you can confide in me. Look, I know we already talked about decreasing your stress level, but are you feeling anxious?
Hope: Uh, that’s one way to describe it.
Finn: Okay, well, I’m here to help you, hope. So if you can, tell me exactly how you’re feeling.

Carter: So, katie, answer my question. How do you feel about bill having a daughter with poppy?
Katie: I’m not really sure yet.
Carter: Still processing the idea, huh?
Katie I’m just trying to figure out how I should feel.
Carter: It’s definitely a significant turn of events. There’s no manual for this kind of thing.
Katie: On the one hand, it doesn’t really affect my life all that much. I guess I just don’t know how to feel about will having another sibling.
Carter: And bill having another baby mama.
Katie: Yeah.
Bill: All right, well liam should be here any minute. I am very excited for him to meet his new sister.
Poppy: Well, how do you think he’ll feel about adding a new member to the family?
Luna: Yeah, I mean, I’m sure this might be a little weird for your sons. Do you think liam will be okay with it?
Bill: Well, make him be okay with it. Wyatt and will too.
Luna: I can’t wait to meet all of them.
Poppy: Your brothers, sweetheart.
Luna: I know, I’ve always wanted siblings.
Poppy: Hey, you’re not an only child anymore.
Luna: I know.
Bill: Listen, liam is gonna love you. They’re all gonna love you. I promise. Everything’s going to be great.
[ Knock on door ]
Liam: Well, hi, dad. You, uh, you summoned me.
Bill: I did summon you. Come here, son. Liam, this is poppy.
Liam: Poppy, it is a pleasure to finally meet you.
Poppy: It’s really nice to meet you too, liam. Your dad has told me so much about you.
Liam: Uh-oh.
Bill: And this beautiful young woman is luna.
Luna: Hi.
Liam: Hi, luna. I have heard so much about you, but I promise, it’s– it’s just the good things.
Bill: Well, things just got a whole lot better. We have confirmed that luna is in fact your half-sister.
Hope: I am feeling something.
Finn: Okay.
Hope: Well, it’s– it’s– it’s hard to put into words. I– I was in love with liam for most of my life, and then we got married, and we started a family, and yet I always felt like he had one eye on steffy. And then I became involved in thomas, in spite of the things that he had done to me in the past.
Finn: Well, because you wanted someone to love you, and only you.
Hope: Exactly. And then, I don’t know, I– I got to know you. And you’re devoted, and committed, and it just made me realize some things that, while yes, liam is a good man, he wasn’t always true. And thomas was true, he just wasn’t always a good man. And then, I don’t know, just meeting you just made me realize that, like, oh wow, like the whole package can exist.
Finn: Okay, well, I– I appreciate all the compliments, but I’m certainly not perfect.
Hope: Well, I mean, at least you’re perfect where it counts. I mean, you’re good to steffy. You are dedicated to your family.
Finn: You want that.
Hope: I mean, yes, I would like that for myself.
Finn: Hope, hope, there are plenty of other guys out there like me. I mean, I promise. And you– you might have to sift through a few jerks, but you will find a great guy. A man who puts his wife and his family first. You deserve that. You deserve someone who excites you and makes you feel beautiful and appreciated.
Hope: I mean, that– that would be nice.
Finn: Yeah, well, hey, maybe I’ll set you up with one of my colleagues or something. I’ll definitely keep an ear open for anyone who fits the bill.
Hope: Thank you.
Finn: Hey.
Hope: I mean, finn, I just– like, I appreciate you and your understanding and just– I don’t know, for listening.
Finn: Yeah.
Hope: So, thanks.
Steffy: What did I just walk in on? Answer me, hope! Answer me.
