He noticed that Shawn had a beer and thought Shawn was sober. Shawn set his mind at ease by saying that it was a non-alcoholic drink. He was glad because he thought that would come between him and Belle. Shawn dropped the bomb that they were getting divorced. It felt final this time. Philip assured him that he wasn’t after Belle. He wanted to focus on reclaiming his birthright. Shawn hoped he got it. Ciara and Lucas wondered if Steven was innocent of stealing the diamond and if they accused the wrong person of taking it.

He took out the diamond necklace from his pocket. Hope arrived and called out for Julie. Doug III introduced himself to Hope. She was offended and told him that her father was Doug Williams.
