Hope: Oh, Douglas, this is– this is the best surprise ever. Look at you. Look at you, my sweet boy. Oh! Oh, I’m so happy to see you.
Douglas: Me too.
Hope: You came home.
Sheila: Now, don’t believe everything you hear on the internet.
Tom: I will not make that mistake again.
Sheila: Deacon was kind enough to give you a job here and this is how you show your gratitude? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a job in a restaurant like this?
Tom: God, are you telling me? This place is killer. Oh, wait. I– No, no, I’m– I’m very grateful.
Sheila: Yep. Then, start showing it. No more spills.
Poppy: This place will always have a piece of my heart.
Bill: Where we ran into each other some 20-plus years later?
Poppy: It’s crazy how fate works. [ Bill chuckling ]
Bill: There she is.
Poppy: Hi, perfect timing.
Luna: Hi, sorry I’m late.
Poppy: We’re so happy that you could join us.
Bill: We certainly are.
Luna: Hi, Dad.
Bill: How’s my beautiful daughter?
Bill: Will you look at that, my brand-new daughter and she doesn’t even need a high chair.
Luna: Oh, yeah, you missed out on that stage. My mom said I was a really bossy toddler.
Bill: Oh, definitely my kid.
Poppy: Yes, she was always quite a determined little girl.
Bill: Still is.
Poppy: Luna is the best of both of us, Bill.
Bill: Yes, she is. You raised a phenomenal young woman, Poppy.
Poppy: We’ve all waited a long time for a moment like this. Just out together, enjoying a meal as a family. Now there, that is what it’s all about. I mean, the way you two look at each other, already so connected and thrilled to be in each other’s lives. It’s a dream come true for me. It really is.
Luna: For all of us.
Poppy: We finally get to be a family.
Hope: So, you just got in from Paris?
Douglas: Yep, we came straight from the airport.
Thomas: Yeah, Douglas couldn’t wait to see you.
Hope: Well, I– This is amazing. I had no idea that you were coming back to Los Angeles.
Douglas: I wanted to surprise you.
Thomas: His idea.
Hope: Well, you certainly accomplished that. I mean, you made my whole day, my whole month, my whole year. Oh, Douglas, I hope you know how much I love you and just how much I’ve missed you.
Douglas: I missed you.
Hope: And, uh, you’ve been missed too, Thomas.
Tom: Listen, I– I don’t want any trouble. I know better than to go toe to toe with a strong woman like you.
Sheila: I don’t want any drama.
Tom: No, let– let me make this up to ya. We– we can forget about all this. Listen, I am just here to do a job. I’m a hard worker, and– and I will do it well.
Sheila: I hope so.
Tom: I tend to– to win people over. It’s what I do.
Sheila: Okay, I– I do hope so, Tom and… I really appreciate you saving my life.
Tom: Oh, I’m– I’m really glad I did. Listen, we’re all part of the Il Giardino family.
Sheila: Yeah.
Tom: I want, you know, me and you to get along.
Sheila: Yeah, well, we’re co-workers. There’s gotta be a certain level of professionalism.
Tom: Yeah, right, right. Yeah. Let me prove myself, okay? I mean, Deacon and I were just talking about this. I’m a firm believer in second chances. And I assume you are too. Since you’ve had a second chance, and– and a third chance, and a fourth chance, and a fifth chance.
Sheila: Okay, Tom, Tom.
Tom: Listen. My point is, you have to believe that it’s never too late to change. Look at me. I was a dumpster diver. And– and now, I’m working at one of the hottest restaurants in Southern California. And it’s about to get hotter.
Luna: I mean, this has been crazy. I think this is the first time since the paternity test that we’ve been able to just sit down and breathe.
Poppy: Hmm, our first family outing.
Bill: Certainly fitting, right here at Il Giardino.
Luna: Yeah, where you two found each other again.
Bill: And now, we’re here with our daughter.
Poppy: You knew in your heart she was yours.
Bill: I did.
Deacon: How’s everything so far?
Poppy: It’s great, thank you.
Deacon: Luna, right? RJ’s girlfriend?
Luna: Yes, hi.
Deacon: Hi.
Bill: More than RJ’s girlfriend. This remarkable young woman is my daughter.
Deacon: [ chuckles ] Really? Come on, you’re pulling my leg.
Luna: No, no. I recently found out that Bill is my biological dad.
Deacon: Wow, I — I had no idea. Uh, good for you, that’s great. It’s a nice addition to the Spencer empire. Uh, Bill, all kidding aside, really, congratulations. Besides, the Spencer family just got a lot better-looking. I’m gonna go check out the kitchen. If you guys need anything, please let me know, okay?
Luna: Okay.
Bill: Better get used to me bragging on you. I’m gonna walk up to every stranger in the street and let them know you’re my daughter.
Luna: God, I’m so happy that you’re my dad. And I– I don’t know, I just, I finally feel whole. Like this question mark that’s been hanging over my head my entire life has finally been lifted. Like, I know who I am now, where I come from. I have three brothers and two nieces, a whole extended family and I just feel the most grounded and connected that I’ve ever been. You okay, Mom?
Poppy: Yeah. I’m just so happy.
Hope: I missed you. A lot.
Thomas: I missed you too.
Douglas: Hey, can I go get a snack from the kitchen?
Thomas: Yeah, sure, but just don’t be gone too long, okay?
Douglas: Okay.
Thomas: Okay.
Douglas: Bye.
Hope: So…
Thomas: You– you look beautiful. You always do.
Hope: Thank you. You look as handsome as ever.
Thomas: Look, Hope.
Hope: It’s nice to–
Thomas: You go first.
Hope: I guess, um… Uh, it’s… It’s really nice seeing you. It’s been a little… difficult, ever since you left.
Thomas: You understand why I had to go.
Hope: Yes. But also, no. Really threw me. More than anybody realizes.
Thomas: How are you? I mean, I know that we’ve talked about Douglas here and there, but… are you okay?
Hope: Am I okay? Uh… Not really sure how to answer that. Um, I’m hanging in there. The line is hanging in there, barely. Uh… it’s just been very… Very confusing. And my mind has– has been a bit all over the place.
Thomas: Confusing? In what way?
Hope: I guess I just feel like I haven’t been myself lately. I don’t exactly trust my feelings. So, I guess what I am trying to say is that I am just very, very glad that you and Douglas are back.
Poppy: I wish I had the courage to find you and tell you that you might have a daughter.
Bill: Okay, enough. Enough. You’ve got to stop doing that. There’s– there will be no more looking back.
Poppy: Yes, but… I was afraid that you wouldn’t want to be involved. That you would reject having a daughter.
Bill: How could that possibly happen? The opportunity to– to parent this remarkable young woman. Be her dad. You have given me the greatest gift, Poppy.
Luna: Yeah, me too, Mom.
Bill: We’re going to have decades together. So many years. So, we are not going to look back, okay? We are just going to focus on the future. End of story.
Poppy: Thank you both for being so forgiving.
Bill: You haven’t taken anything away from my life, Poppy. To the contrary. You’ve added immeasurably to it. And now that we’re all together, no one is going to take you away from me.
Tom: Hey, Deacon?
Deacon: Yeah?
Tom: Who is this guy?
Deacon: Oh, Mr. Congeniality. It’s Dollar Bill Spencer, and the new lady in his life. She’s not bad looking, is she? She’s got a daughter named Luna who works over at Forrester, and apparently, Bill just found out that he’s her father.
Tom: What?
Deacon: Yeah. I’m not a Dollar Bill fan, but he’s really welcomed them into the family.
[ Hope chuckling ]
Hope: It’s been busy around here.
Thomas: I’ll bet.
Hope: Oh, it’s Zende’s.
Thomas: Yeah. It’s nice.
Hope: Yeah, he’s — he’s really doing great. He’s made some really wonderful contributions to Hope for the Future.
Thomas: That’s good. You know, I– I know I left you in kind of a bind, so I’m glad he could step up.
Hope: Yes, but it’s not the same. I mean, Thomas, you– you knew exactly what I wanted, what I needed. It was like you could read my mind, and when I think about the woman I aspire to be, and– and what I want that life to look like, I, um… I’ve just been feeling very lost.
Thomas: Come on, Hope. I mean, you’re– you always have it together. You can handle anything.
Hope: Well, I’m not sure about that anymore. I’m really beginning to doubt myself. Thomas, when I was with you, I just… Oh, I found stability. I– I had something and someone that I could rely on, and I know that you were truly committed to me, and I just want you to know that meant the world to me.
Thomas: I… I don’t know what to say.
Hope: You don’t have to say anything. Just know that, um… I’ve really been trying hard to… To bury it, and to distract myself from it, but just know that you’ve been so, so missed, Thomas.
Luna: We’ll have birthdays and holidays.
Bill: Vacations on the Stella Maris.
Poppy: Ooh, that is Bill’s yacht. Can you imagine us sailing into Monte Carlo? It’s like, ooh, la dee da.
Luna: Okay, so my mom clearly has already gone bathing suit shopping.
Bill: Hey, listen, we are doing it. I’m gonna see if the boys can join us as well.
Luna: Okay, I’d be down for that. It sounds like so much fun.
Bill: No, we’re gonna have so many vacations together and adventures, and you know what? Celebrate milestone after milestone as a family.
Luna: What do we say? Should we take our first official family selfie?
Bill: Oh, heck yeah, let’s do it. Absolutely. Say, uh, Spencer selfie.
Luna and Poppy: Spencer selfie!
Bill: …be a good one in there.
Hope: It feels so good to be in your arms again. [ Hope sighing ] I needed this. Thomas, I know I disappointed you when I turned down your proposal, but please know I never, ever meant to hurt you. That’s the last thing I wanted.
Thomas: Right. But you did hurt me, ’cause you turned me down twice.
Hope: I wasn’t expecting it, though. I thought you understood.
Thomas: It shouldn’t have come as a surprise, though, Hope, considering how deeply I felt for you.
Hope: I mean, I… I haven’t forgotten. Thomas, I wanted to be ready for you. I didn’t want there to be anything false between us. I was still under so much pressure. I mean, I was recovering from my divorce. I was trying to consider the children and how my decisions really affect them. I just wasn’t ready to be married again so soon. I needed more time to recenter myself and to build up my confidence again, Thomas, but that didn’t mean that I wanted to lose you. It didn’t mean that I wanted to end things between us. Because I know how rare a man like you is. Your devotion. Your love for the only woman in your life, so… I have to wonder, why… Why did you come back? Why now? I mean… Can we be together again? Did you come back to give us another shot? Hi!
Thomas: Hey, bud.
Douglas: Hi.
Hope: Were you, uh, were you able to find some snacks? Paris!
Paris: Hi, Hope.
Hope: Hi. Oh, my– I haven’t seen you in so long. What are– what are you doing here?
Douglas: Mom?
Paris and Hope: Yes?
Hope: Douglas, why did you just call Paris mom? What is going on here?
Thomas: Hope, there’s something you should know. Paris and I are engaged. We’re going to be married.
