Hope: Paris, you know that this engagement to Thomas is rushed. I mean, a few months ago, he wanted a life with me,
Paris: And now he’s over you. I can understand how my engagement to Thomas could be confusing and shocking for you. And I’d hoped that we could talk this through as friends. But then, instead, you made a play for my fiancé. [scoffs] We used to be close.
Hope: And I want that. But the life that I had with Thomas before he left LA.
Paris: He proposed to you. You said no.
Hope: Oh… It is not that simple. Thomas loved me. He wanted me to be his wife. I am a mother to his son. And, yes, he proposed to me. But you really think he just moved on from it that fast? So, uh, yes, I do believe that ring and your engagement is happening way too soon. So, yeah, I am concerned, for you and for Thomas. ♪
Carter: Thomas, man, you are full of surprises. Congratulations on your engagement.
Thomas: Thanks, man.
Eric: Now, finding someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with is a pretty rare thing. I’m proud of you. I wish you and Paris the best.
Thomas: Thanks, granddad.
Ridge: Hey. Hey.
Eric: Hello.
Carter: Happy Independence Day. There you are.
Eric: Hello, beautiful. Hi.
Ridge: Thank you so much for doing this.
Donna: Of course.
Eric: Of course. I mean, what better way to celebrate Independence Day than here in this wonderful, big old house?
Ridge: Yes.
Donna: Come. I need to talk to you.
Ridge: Hey, guys… come on.
Eric: Oh, let me see this.
Katie: [sighing] I’m not trying to come off as insecure or jealous or anything like that. I just… I’m still trying to wrap my head around you having a daughter.
Bill: And Poppy being in my life?
Katie: Yeah. I… I don’t know what it is about her. I just… I get a bad vibe. ♪♪
Poppy: Hey. Looks like you two are getting ready to celebrate.
R.J.: Are you sure you don’t want to come? Granddad would love to have you.
Poppy: I really appreciate that, but… I’m gonna wait for Bill to get home.
Luna: Where is he?
Poppy: Oh, he’s with Katie.
Luna: Uh, you’re not worried that Bill’s spending time with Katie, are you?
Poppy: I’m sure that they have a lot to discuss regarding Will.
Luna: Okay, Mom, I know you, and I can tell when something’s bothering you, but don’t make it more than what it is, okay? I’ve seen the way he looks at you, and trust me, you have nothing to worry about.
Bill: You’re getting a strange vibe from Poppy? What are you saying, Katie?
Katie: I’m not sure. I’m just wondering if you let your guard down too quickly. I care about you, Bill… and I don’t want to see you taken advantage of or hurt by Poppy. ♪♪ [light rock playing]
Thomas: It’s too bad that Steffy, Finn, and the kids couldn’t make it.
Ridge: Well, they both are so busy, they want to spend some time with their family. They’ll be here later.
Brooke: R.J. and Luna are on their way.
Eric: I’m glad to hear that. More the merrier. That’s what I love, this house full of love and laughter. The only thing better would be a couple of really dry martinis.
Donna: Sparkling water maybe.
Eric: That’s what I said, isn’t it?
Ridge: Where’s your bride-to-be?
Thomas: That’s actually a good question, I’m gonna find out. [music playing]
Hope: Paris, for years, I was the only woman in his life.
Paris: That’s not the case anymore.
Hope: No one falls out of love that quickly.
Paris: So what are you– what are you trying to say? That it’s only a matter of time before Thomas comes running back to you?
Hope: I am saying… be careful. Thomas is still very much a one-woman man. ♪♪ ♪♪
R.J.: Do you have everything?
Luna: Um, yeah, I think so.
R.J.: Yeah?
Luna: Mom?
Poppy: Have a great time, you two.
R.J.: Hey, if you change your mind and you want to come, you’re welcome.
Poppy: Aw, thanks, but I’m good. Okay.
R.J.: All right, bye.
Luna: Okay, bye. [door shuts]
Poppy: Why aren’t you home, Bill?
Bill: After everything we’ve been through, it’s nice to know that you still care about me so much.
Katie: Of course I do.
Bill: Right, because I’m the father of our son.
Katie: No, not just because of Will. Because I’ll always want what’s best for you.
Bill: For so long, I was certain that that was the two of us. Reuniting our family. ♪♪
R.J.: It’s good to see you, bro.
Thomas: You too. Yeah. How are you doing, Luna?
Luna: Good, how are you?
Thomas: Good. I’m good. Yeah. So, I mean, I’ve been trying to catch up with you.
R.J.: Oh, dude, it’s been crazy, you’ve left some big shoes to fill with Hope for the Future. Thanks.
Thomas: You’re doing just fine.
R.J.: Trying.
Thomas: Yeah.
R.J.: Enough about work. Come on. Look at you. Congratulations. You’re getting married.
Luna: I know. We’re so happy for you.
Thomas: Thank you. We’re really happy.
R.J.: Where’s the– Where’s the beautiful bride- to-be, anyways?
Thomas: That is a good question.
Paris: I don’t appreciate you warning me about Thomas’s loyalty when you’re the one making moves on him.
Hope: I’m being honest.
Paris: Huh. Honesty has been something me and Thomas’s relationship has been built on. We’ve shared so much. We’ve bonded on a very deep level. You know nothing about my relationship with Thomas or Douglas. Yeah, that’s a part of it, too, isn’t it? How Douglas has embraced me? I can see how much that stings.
Hope: Well, as Douglas’s mother, it would.
Paris: And I’m sensitive to that. You… you think this is some kind of rebound, like Thomas can never get over you. Thomas loves me with his eyes, his touch. We lay in bed and daydream about our home, our… our future together, raising our children. That’s something you and Thomas never had. He’s left you in the past, and it’s time for you to do the same. It’s time to respect our engagement and leave my fiancé alone. ♪♪
Paris: I don’t want any drama. I understand how hard this is for you. I get it.
Hope: Do you, Paris? I mean, do you really get how much Thomas and I loved each other?
Paris: You didn’t want to get married again, and that’s okay. But that’s not what Thomas wanted, so he moved on. Look, I… I know what you’re thinking. Thomas is a one-woman man. You were that woman. Not anymore. I am that woman now. ♪♪
Katie: I know you have a lot of guilt when it comes to what happened between you and me. But that’s not the man I see when I look at you.
Bill: Who do you see?
Katie: I see the man that I always knew was there. Someone strong and caring. You have a way of… making someone feel like they’re the only person in the world.
Bill: Wow. All this time, I thought I was bullheaded and arrogant and aggressive.
Katie: Yeah, and a sore loser and boastful and… did you mention bullheaded?
Bill: I think I did, yeah. I think I checked that box,
Katie: Okay, good, just wanted to make sure.
Bill: Mm-hmm. [laughing] I would also like to think that maybe I’ve grown up a little bit.
Katie: You most definitely have.
Bill: Well, I owe the vast majority of that to you. Best thing that ever happened to me. You know how I feel… how I’ve always felt. You’re the love of my life, Katie. ♪♪ Life goes on. And– and… and you were right to– to move on with yours. And it’s taken me a while, but… I’ve moved into my next chapter. ♪♪
Katie: Say that again.
Bill: Life goes on.
Katie: You know what I mean. ♪♪
Bill: You’re the love of my life. You’re my Katie. ♪♪
Eric: Everyone, to the woman of the hour.
Ridge: Woman of the hour.
Men: Woman of the hour.
[laughter]
Brooke: Such a surprise.
Ridge: You look amazing. This is my future daughter-in-law. Still feels strange to say that, but yes.
Thomas: Can I get you a drink?
Paris: Please.
Thomas: You got it.
Carter: Paris. Beautiful as always.
Paris: Thank you. Not too bad yourself.
Carter: That’s some piece of hardware you got there.
Paris: I know, Thomas did good, didn’t he?
Carter: He definitely did. I’m glad you found happiness. Congratulations. Thomas is a very lucky guy.
Paris: Yeah.
Carter: Well, I’ll let you two lovebirds catch up.
Paris: Ooh, ooh–
Thomas: There you go.
Paris: My hero.
Thomas: So, I was gonna send Charlie to come looking for you. What happened?
Paris: Did you miss me?
Thomas: Always. So? What happened? Where were you?
Paris: I was at the office. I had a few loose ends I needed to tie up.
Thomas: Hmm. I hope they’re all tied up. ‘Cause I’m not letting you out of my side for the rest of the night. ♪♪
Bill: Um, I’m sorry, Katie. I, uh… I feel like I’m sending you mixed signals. I will always love and care about you.
Katie: But you’re moving on with Luna and Poppy.
Bill: I am. And… And I’m happy. But I will always hold what we shared… Right here. We have so many wonderful memories. ♪♪ We had an incredible life. Family. I often wonder what it could have been if I hadn’t screwed things up.
Katie: So do I.
Bill: So, uh… what’s going on with you and, uh, what’s the name?
Katie: [laughing] Carter.
Bill: Carter– yeah, Carter.
Katie: Yeah… touché. Oh, gosh. I think… I think we’re better off as friends. Honestly… I can’t really see myself moving… moving on with any man at this point. I really wish that you… would think about what you say before you say it.
Bill: What do you mean?
Katie: It’s hurtful for you to say that I’m the love of your life when you don’t mean it.
Bill: I do mean it. Don’t ever doubt my love for you, Katie. ♪♪

[soft chatter continues] [music continues]
Brooke: Are you okay? Being here with Thomas and Paris?
Hope: I mean, it’s… pretty surreal.
Eric: Listen, everybody, if I might say something for a second, just a second. I’m… very glad that you’re all here. I really am. That you decided to spend the Fourth with us. Thank you.
Ridge: And thank you for having us in your home. Right? Speaking of home… [sighing] …my son is home. And he brought a very special, very beautiful surprise. Paris, his fiancé. So let’s hear it for Thomas and Paris. Can we?
Eric: To Thomas and Paris.
All: Cheers.
[laughter]
Thomas: Um… I’m sure it’s kind of a surprise for everyone here that I came back and we are engaged. When I left LA, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I got over there to International, and I never would have expected to… fall in love. But that is exactly what happened. Paris and I reconnected, and… really helped each other. You mean the world to me. And I love you.
Paris: I love you, too. And I can’t wait to be married.
Thomas: Me either. And that being said, Grandpa, you and Grandma made this house exactly what it is, which is a wonderful home. A home of love and family. And that’s what this place represents. Well, Paris and I, we’ve been through problems and issues in the past, but I think we helped each other get through those things and move past that point. Considering how well you have welcomed her into this family, I think it would be wonderful, with your blessing, to potentially get married here, if you are okay with that.
Paris: Yeah, that would be wonderful.
Thomas: So, Granddad, could we get married in your home?
Thomas: Well, um… I guess we’re about to have another wedding. To Thomas and Paris.
Ridge: Thomas and Paris. You guys, that’s gonna be great.
Eric: All right… isn’t that just beautiful?
Ridge: Dad.
Eric: The two of them. It’s gonna be nice. Well done. Well done. Well done.
Eric: Well, let’s– we should celebrate, shouldn’t we? [loud pop]
