Update written by Joseph
Hope brings Bo breakfast in bed. They talk about making up for lost time. Hope mentions warming up the breakfast in the new state of the art oven that Julie had installed. Bo asks if Julie has been watching home renovation shows or something. Hope reveals to Bo that the Horton house caught on fire last year and tells him how Julie was determined to restore the house to it’s original state.
A flashback re-enactment shows a younger Tom and Alice Horton talking about getting a new washing machine in the house and Tom sharing the news that Addie was pregnant, announcing that they were going to become grandparents.
Bo talks about everything Hope has been through since he’s been gone and wishes he could’ve been there for her. Hope wishes Doug was there to see Bo is alive and that they are back together. Hope believes Doug would say that they lost a lot of years together, but to look at all they gained. Bo jokes about going to sleep having one grandchild and waking up to four. Hope is grateful that he’s here to see them and asks if he’s ready to be a full time grandpa. Bo responds that he’s never been more ready for anything in his life as they kiss.
Bo and Hope get up and head to the living room where Bo calls it amazing that the Horton house looks exactly the same despite the fire. Bo asks if everything was replaced. Hope says some things were unable to be replaced like the scrapbook she made for Tom and Alice when she was little and the letter she wrote Bo on their wedding day which she flashes back to. Bo says he remembers that like it was yesterday. Hope tells Bo about the time capsule they discovered behind the mantle after the fire and that Ciara was the one who got it open. Hope talks about the treasures hidden away for years and how it made them all feel closer to Tom and Alice. Bo remarks that the loved ones they’ve lost are never really gone. Bo says if you look around here, it’s almost like you can see Tom and Alice, proudly looking on and knowing their legacy lives on in them. They sit together as Bo calls it crazy that after all these years, he’s apart of this family. Hope asks why he would say that. Bo talks about being the badseed of his family while Hope was the granddaughter of one of the most prominent doctors in town. Hope doesn’t think he was ever a badseed, just a rebel. Hope says she always felt extremely lucky to be apart of the Brady family. Bo felt like he had arrived when he got his ornament on the Horton family Christmas tree. Hope tells Bo that amazingly, the ornaments survived the fire as they flash back to hanging their ornaments on the tree. Hope brings up adding Shawn and how she’ll never forget the look on Alice’s face when she told her they were having a baby which she flashes back to. Hope states that now their babies have babies. Bo jokes that the Horton family Christmas tree will have to grow some branches for all those ornaments.

Hope can’t imagine what her life would’ve been without Tom and Alice by her side. Bo agrees that they were a Godsend as he hugs Hope. Hope comments on it being quiet and wonders where everyone is. Bo admits he may have hinted that they clear out so he could have alone time with Hope. Bo suggests she go put on something special because he has a celebration planned.

Bo excitedly tells her that she will find out as he sends her upstairs.
Another flashback re-enactment shows younger Tom and Alice at home where Tom had sent the kids and grandkids to the movies so that he and Alice could be alone together.
Hope comes back downstairs in a white dress, joining Bo in a now decorated living room. Bo explains that he had to do something special to celebrate reuniting with the love of his life. Hope calls him perfect and thanks God that she got him back. Bo says while they were separated, he was spared missing her so he’s determined to make sure from now on that they are always together. Hope is determined to never miss him again. Bo suggests making her his wife again. Hope tells Bo that he’s the only man for her as they hug. Bo calls the Horton living room the perfect place as he gets down on one knee and asks Hope to marry him again. Hope says yes as they hug and kiss. Bo says they have stood in a large church with all their friends and family while they’ve also had it just be them and their love as they flash back to their previous wedding. Bo tells Hope that he wants to spend the rest of his life loving her and taking care of her. Bo promises to respect and cherish her as he gives her his heart without holding back. Bo declares that he takes Hope to be his wife now and forever. Hope responds that she’s so proud to stand beside him and she loves him as they flash back to their previous wedding. Bo presents Hope with Alice’s ring and says it’s to their new beginning. Hope then pronounces them wife and husband as they kiss. Hope can’t believe Bo pulled this off but admits he’s amazed her with romantic surprises more times than she can count. Bo reveals he has one more for her and shows her their Fancyface boat. Hope points out that it belongs to Shawn now but Bo explains that Shawn hasn’t had time to take it on the water so it now belongs to them again. After another flashback, Hope wishes they could go back to simpler times. Bo suggests they can by going on another adventure and sailing wherever the wind takes them. Hope questions the idea of leaving Salem so soon. Bo states that Salem will always be their home, but living their life as an adventure is always where they are best. Hope agrees that it’s always been in their DNA. Bo argues that they’ve been separated for the better part of 12 years and if John’s death and his brush with death taught him anything, it’s that tomorrow is never promised and they need to live each day like their last. Hope acknowledges that they do have family all over the world and can visit them including Ben and Ciara as well as Claire and Theo in South Africa. Hope agrees with Bo that tomorrow is never promised and she wants to be on an adventure with the person she loves most in the world. Hope admits she feels guilty but excited to have him all to herself for a bit. Bo says she’s all the excitement he needs and asks if they are doing this or not. Hope agrees as long as he promises to come back to Salem often. Bo assures that they will come back all the time.

Bo says it makes the hellos more meaningful as a montage plays of Bo and Hope’s life together. Bo says they have been on some amazing journeys. Hope adds that they have so many more to come. Bo and Hope say so long to Salem until next time as they exit the town square together.
