NEWS INTERRUPTED THE SHOW TODAY – WE’LL GET THE MISSING PART FROM ON DEMAND

Eric: Yes, yes, thank you very much. Yeah, thanks.

Donna: Caterer’s all set.

Eric: I– I love how they’re ready to go at a moment’s notice. It’s terrific.

Donna: Well, they’re not the only ones, mr. Insta-party.

Eric: Yeah, well, we have a lot to celebrate. I won’t deny that.

Donna: I know, eric. Your progress is remarkable and it’s wonderful, but you’re not all the way back. And I worry about you taking on too much too soon and this party could be–

Eric: This party is exactly what the doctor ordered, even if he didn’t actually say it. Donna, I love that you worry about me. Thank you. But I want you to stop, okay? We’re gonna have a party tonight and it’s a party to celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together.

Donna: Okay.

Brooke: Oh, it’s good to see you smile again.

Ridge: This was a rough road. My dad getting sick. And me having to make decisions for him. I’m just glad it’s behind us.

Brooke: Yeah, he’s on the road to recovery.

Ridge: Yeah.

Carter: You wanted to see me?

Ridge: Yes. Finn came by the house and the treatment’s working. Dad’s doing great.

Carter: Oh, man, that’s incredible, ridge. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting to hear this news.

Ridge: I know, I know.

Rj: You know what I think? I think we deserve a medal. Or a comp day, at least. You know, I can’t believe the discipline and the restraint it took us to leave the beach house this morning. I mean, seriously, like, honestly, what do you have to do to win a statue around here, really? Seriously, though, that was the best first night in a new place, ever.

Luna: It was perfect. You were perfect. I’m so glad I waited for you. The man I love.

Rj: You know, I really did not want to get out of bed this morning. You know, the only reason that I did was to speak to my grandfather about the whole party, celebrating his positive prognosis, which is a party that you, my dear, are invited to.

Luna: I know. I’m blown away. I mean, a beach house in malibu and now a forrester family party? And you? None of this feels real.

Rj: Well, get used to it. It’s your life.

Luna: By the way, I– I texted my mom and she’s on her way over here. I’ve never stayed out all night before, so I don’t know how she’s going to react, but I’m not gonna worry about that. Because last night with you was everything and more than I could have ever dreamed my first time would be like. And that’s all I want to think about right now.

Zende: Granddad, that is such great news. And I got your text. What’s this about a party?

Eric: Oh, we’re gonna celebrate. We’re going to celebrate life, you know? No more wasting time. Letting time slip away. You know? There’s uh– not one day is actually promised to any one of us. Not one day. I don’t want to waste another second. Not another moment that I could be spending with my beautiful donna.

Carter: I can’t wait to congratulate eric on the amazing news.

Ridge: You don’t have to wait. There’s a party tonight and you’re invited.

Katie: Yeah, I just heard from donna. She texted me. And I’m thrilled that eric got positive news from finn and the medical team, but should we be having a party? He just got out of the hospital.

Carter: She has a point.

Brooke: I agree.

Ridge: I do too, but dad has set his mind on it, so try changing it.

Katie: All right, I guess we’re having a party.

When your gut is

out of balance,

Ridge: Dad’s gonna be okay. That’s good.

Katie: Why am I hearing a but?

Ridge: Because I’m not sure that he should be having a party right now. I don’t know if he has the stamina for it.

Carter: Is there any chance that eric might consider putting it off?

[ Brooke laughs ]

Brooke: Really? Have you met eric?

Katie: Mm. Very true.

Donna: Hi.

Brooke: I’m surprised to see you here.

Donna: Well, um, eric wanted me to spread the news about tonight.

MISSING PART HERE

Eric: The forrester men. What a club. And you’re a card-carrying member too, carter.

Carter: Well, I’m honored, I’m honored. And it’s so good to hear about your prognosis, eric.

Eric: Thank you.

Ridge: We heard about your party, too?

Eric: Yes, yeah. You’re coming, right?

Carter: I wouldn’t miss it.

Eric: Good. I’m glad to hear it. Look, I’d like to talk to the two of you in private. Excuse us for a minute. Come here. I wanna talk to you.

Ridge: Okay.

Zende: Granddad’s really making his way back.

Rj: Yeah. No, it’s amazing with, uh, everything he’s been through. It’s really impressive. It’s not surprising, though. ‘Cause he is our grandfather, right?

Zende: Yeah. Hey, rj, I realize that things have been tense between us lately. I just wanted to say, for what it’s worth, I meant what I said. Luna is remarkable. She is a unique, talented, very beautiful woman. And you, cousin, you’re an insanely lucky man.

Poppy: I’ve never seen you quite like this. You’re all lit from within.

Luna: I’ve– I’ve never felt like this before. I didn’t even know that this was possible.

Poppy: Love looks beautiful on you, honey. And that’s what you’re telling me, right? That you’re in love with rj?

Luna: Yeah. I mean, how could I not be? Rj’s, like, the most incredible man ever. And last night, mom, last night was just perfect. I mean, first of all, the beach house. Like, don’t even get me started on that.

Poppy: It is quite a place. I mean, you couldn’t design a more romantic setting.

Luna: And rj made it even more so. I mean, he had the table set, candles lit, my favorite food delivered. The sound of the waves crashing in the back.

Rj: I love you.

Luna: I love you too. I’m just– I’m really happy that I waited to be with the man I love. And I do, mom. I love rj so much. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Rj: No, believe me, I– I know how lucky I am to be with luna. I’ll tell you something else. I’m never gonna let her go.

Poppy: Why would I be happy for you? You moved to L.A. With a suitcase and a dream. Alone. No connections. Right, well, I guess you had your aunt li, but I know she doesn’t count. Then you had finn, but you didn’t ask him to pave your way. In fact, you didn’t even tell him you were here. Instead, you just marched right into forrester creations and you got yourself an internship. And if that wasn’t enough, you found love along the way. With a kind and decent man who doesn’t even try to hide how much he adores you. No, I’m not happy for you, luna. I am ecstatic. And I’m so very, very proud.

Luna: I can’t believe this is my life. And it’s all because of you, mom.

Poppy: Me? I didn’t do anything.

Luna: I mean, all of your encouragements. Ever since I was little. “You’re the best, luna. You’re the smartest, luna.” And here I am, in L.A., Living my best life, working at forrester creations. Taking night-time strolls in malibu with the best man in the world. And that’s what I’m most grateful for. The love that I’m experiencing with rj. It’s– it’s the greatest gift.

Rj: I just want to tell you too, you know, I know that we haven’t been seeing things the same way recently. And I just want you to know that I really value you. And, I mean, not just as a designer, and zende, you’re an incredible designer, you know that. But, as my cousin, you know? You’re family. That’s– that’s never gonna change.

Zende: I appreciate that.

Ridge: Here’s a big shocker. The party is still on.

Zende: Was there ever any doubt?

Eric: No.

Ridge: Tried to talk him out of it, at least wait a couple of weeks to gain some strength.

Carter: And ridge got nowhere.

Eric: And why would we? Why would we do that? Not do the party and then tomorrow I could be walking by that portrait, it could fall on my head.

Ridge: That’s not very likely, but…

Eric: Yeah, it could happen.

Ridge: It could happen. So, I mean, look what happened to me a couple of months ago. Designing, and then my hand starts shaking, and I can’t work, and then I– I need all the help I can get. And– and donna helps me, and then I get finn to help me, and then I see stephanie, I go to the other side, and I see her and– and I told donna, that’s it. That’s it. From now on, I’m living my life a different way. It’s carpe diem, every day.

Ridge: Okay, all right. You wanna have a party, we’re gonna have a party. I told you, we’re gonna do it. Okay?

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: I think I speak for everyone if I say we’re gonna have a party with you as often as we can.

Carter: Hear, hear.

Zende: Absolutely.

Rj: Hey, granddad, we love you.

Donna: I just can’t help being concerned about eric.

Katie: We understand what you’re going through. You’ve been traumatized. Eric’s sudden illness. You thought he was gonna die, but he’s gonna be fine now.

Donna: Yeah.

Brooke: He just needs a little bit more time, and he’ll be back to the eric that we all adore.

Donna: Yeah. Yeah, I just– I just love him so much, you know? And he’s just always been the one for me.

Eric: You are beautiful.

Donna: It’s about time your handsome face hung above the fireplace.

Eric: Wow.

[ Chuckling ] Look at that.

Katie: Well, you and eric have definitely stood the test of time.

Brooke: You have a beautiful and colorful history together. And you have been so devoted to him.

Donna: I would do anything for my honey bear.

Katie: Ah.

[ Brooke chuckles ]

Donna: I just want as much time as possible with him. That’s all. As much time as possible.

Eric: I’m proud to be a member of this group right here. The love and support that I have felt from all of you through all of this has meant more to me than you can know. But I’m not leaving you yet. I have a lot more living to do. Tonight is the beginning of the rest of my life.

[ Upbeat music ]

Rj: Good morning.

Luna: Have you been awake long?

Rj: A while.

Luna: What? You’ve just been watching me?

Rj: It’s just really hard not to.

Luna: Last night was…

Rj: Yeah, it sure was.

Luna: It’s more than I could have ever dreamed of.

[ Eric sighs ]

Donna: Hey. Are you hungry?

Eric: Uh, no. Actually, thanks. Not right now. Not right now.

Ridge: Hey.

Eric: Shouldn’t you two be at the office? Don’t you have that big important meeting with ronaldo this morning?

Ridge: How do you know about that?

Brooke: Are you spying on us?

Eric: Yeah, if you’d let me come into the office, I wouldn’t have to.

Ridge: We’d love to have you in the office. It’s not the same without you there.

Eric: I should certainly hope not. +Brooke: We do miss you and your sunny disposition. But there is this issue of your health.

Eric: Yes, we should be getting some news about that pretty soon. Finn’s on his way over here with my… my long-term prognosis. But then you two already know that, don’t you? That’s why they’re here, isn’t it?

Donna: Because we said no more secrets.

Eric: Yeah. Well… I’m happy for the company. I’m just hoping for some good news.

Ridge: Dad, you fought hard. You deserve this.

Finn: Hey, eric. I… I just let myself in.

Eric: We’re expecting you. I need to hear this news. What’s the… what’s my long-term prognosis?

Luna: Mm.

Rj: What? What is it? What– what’s wrong? Are you– you don’t need to check your breath. You’re fine. Hey, luna. Seriously, it’s okay. Come on, with how close we are after last night?

Luna: Well, I wouldn’t want to do anything to turn you off.

Rj: Turn– that is impossible. Okay? You’re stuck with me.

Finn: So, I met with the medical team.

Eric: And?

Finn: And, you know, as you know, we’ve… had a battery of extensive testing.

Eric: So, what is it? I mean, am I gonna get better? I’m gonna get back to full strength? Am I– how’s my quality of life gonna be? What–

Finn: Eric, your markers are right in line.

[ Donna gasps ] They’re better than what we had hoped.

Donna: Oh! Crack the science of stronger hair.

Rj: How do you feel?

Luna: Um, truthfully?

Rj: Yeah?

Luna: I don’t really know how to put it into words. Like… all of these emotions are hitting me at the same time. The… waking up with you in your bed and lying in your arms. Um…

Rj: Go on.

Luna: Part of me wondered if I’d feel the same afterwards.

Rj: The same how?

Luna: I don’t know. Like, maybe I’d feel like I– I lost something? Something special that I’ve been holding onto for years, but… it’s not like that. I mean, it definitely doesn’t feel the same. Like… I feel different. Like… more of a woman. More connected to another person. More connected than I ever knew possible. It was beautiful. You’re beautiful, rj.

Ridge: So, this is it. We can all breathe again. The procedure was a success.

Eric: I– I think this is cause for celebration, really.

Finn: It most definitely is. But small note of caution, you need to remain diligent, okay? As wonderful news as this is, you need to keep on the right track.

Donna: Oh, he will, won’t you, sweetheart?

Eric: Of course.

Donna: Yeah.

Eric: And see, this is exactly what I would expect from a medical dream team.

Brooke: And you’re keeping bridget apprised too, I assume.

Finn: Oh, yeah, of course. And to say that she was delighted and relieved would be an understatement.

Brooke: Meanwhile, you have your whole family to support you.

Ridge: Or whatever else you need.

Eric: Yeah, well, what I need is to get back to work. I need to design. I need to be creative.

Donna: He was up early sketching away.

Eric: Yeah, but not too early, though, I know. I agree that I’m– I’m going along with getting a lot of rest.

Ridge: See, that is your model patient right here.

Finn: What your father has done, the effort, the determination, that’s what’s made the difference. I mean, that’s why he is where he is today.

Ridge: You hear that? The whole medical community is impressed by you.

Donna: Well, you certainly impressed all of us.

Brooke: We are all blessed, eric. It wasn’t so long ago when you were struggling, facing what you were. And in the darkest hour, finn really came through for us.

Finn: Everyone had a part. You know, everyone was pulling their own weight. Especially this guy. Right there.

Eric: Now, finn, you– you saved my life. You did. And I thank you for that. And I’m gonna live this life the best way I can. I promise you that. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Eric: And just like that, finn has gone back to the hospital to save more lives.

Donna: No doctor is more dedicated.

Ridge: My daughter found herself a good one.

Brooke: I think we’re all grateful that finn’s a part of our lives, especially since he brought you back to us, eric.

Eric: I have to say, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I was worried about this. Been a long journey, you know. Every step– every step of it, just so challenging, you know.

Donna: It’s true, but you faced it head-on, and look where you are now.

Brooke: You’re here. You’re here with family. The people who love you.

Ridge: You’re right. He’s loved. Deeply loved.

Donna: Okay, I know how excited we all are.

[ Laughter ] But, um, I really think that you should lie down and rest. You were up at the crack of dawn sketching that.

Eric: Yeah, I was. I’m still invigorated. I mean, that’s what happens when you get good news like this, you know, it’s invigorating and, you know.

Donna: Eric, please, honey bear.

Eric: Look, I want to celebrate this. I– I just feel wonderful. Why– why don’t we, uh… this is cause for a celebration. I want to have a party. That’s what I want to do. Let’s throw a party.

Donna: Okay, I– I understand your enthusiasm and, you know, I’m– we’re all feeling it.

Eric: Good, good.

Donna: But I’m just not sure a party’s a good idea right now. I mean, yes, we got some positive news, but, um…

Brooke: But I think you really need to take it easy.

Eric: I will. I’ll take it easy. I will. But, uh, I definitely think this is a reason for us to celebrate. Let’s have a party. Tonight.

Ridge: He’s right about that. He’s right.

Eric: I am, right?

Ridge: Tomorrow night.

Eric: Tonight. Tonight. Let’s do it.

Ridge: Not tonight.

Eric: Yes. I know it’s short notice and people are gonna have a hard time showing up. It can be small. It can just be us. That would be all right. My… my objective is to celebrate, and I don’t wanna just celebrate me. I wanna… I want to celebrate you. You’ve been standing next to me so close through all of this, and– and– and you’re a big reason that I’m here right now. And so… I love you, donna.

Donna: I love you too.

Eric: So I– I– I… I want you to be there, and I want you to be there, and I want, uh… I want katie to come too. She’s a big part of this too. So katie and brooke and you, the logan sisters. That would be a good party right there, wouldn’t it? And rj. Rj has to be here too. Absolutely.

Brooke: Of course. Yes, rj would love it.

Eric: Well, then, all right. I’m gonna call him right now. I’m gonna call him. Where’s my phone?

Rj: Can I get you anything? You want coffee or something to eat? I can– I’m not bragging, but I can make a very decent omelet.

Luna: Wait, I saw that post. It was, um, right outside of paris, right?

Rj: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, uh– confession though. I– real life versus social media, I think it took me 11 tries to get an omelet that was, like, postable.

[ Laughs ]

Luna: Thank you. Good right here.

Rj: I’m sorry.

Luna: What?

Rj: I don’t know. I’m just staring at you. Literally, I cannot take my eyes off you.

Luna: I don’t want you to. I mean, I could stay like this forever.

Rj: Oh, yeah? Well, you know what that would mean? That would mean that we never get out of this bed.

Luna: Yeah, I think I could handle that.

Rj: Oh, yeah? You think you could handle that?

Luna: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] I feel so close to you. After last night. Closer than I ever knew possible.

[ Phone ringing ]

Rj: I’m so sorry. I would never answer this right now, I swear. I just– I know the ringtone. It’s my grandfather. I’d–

Luna: It’s okay. It’s okay. Go for it.

[ Ringing continues ] Hey, granddad. What’s up?

Eric: Finn was just here, yeah, and he gave me a clean bill of health.

Rj: Really? Oh, that’s– that’s awesome. Uh, tell me– tell me everything.

Eric: Well, I will, but first things first. I want to invite you to a forrester family party here tonight. I want you to be there.

Rj: Okay. Tonight? Yeah. I’ll definitely be there.

Eric: Good. Any chance luna’s there with you?

Rj: Um… yeah. As a matter of fact, she is. Uh, why?

Eric: Yeah, good. I want you to bring her with you, all right?

Rj: Really?

Eric: Yeah. You love her, don’t you?

Rj: I do.

Eric: Good. Look, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past few months is that, uh… in this life is that love is everything. If you love somebody, you hang on to her, all right? Don’t let her go.

Rj: That’s exactly what I intend to do. Thank you, granddad. I’ll, uh… I’ll see you tonight. And– and congratulations again on the news.

Luna: So, was that about your grandfather’s prognosis?

Rj: It was, and he got some great news, which is awesome.

Luna: Oh, that’s wonderful. I’m so happy.

Rj: Yeah. Uh, and, uh, he also said that there’s gonna be a forrester family party tonight to celebrate, of course.

Luna: That’s cool. You should definitely go.

Rj: Yeah. Well, I am. And so are you. ()

Brooke: So, rj’s coming?

Eric: Yes. It looks like luna will be too.

Ridge: Oh, well, she should. She found your trusty stapler.

Eric: Yes, she did. It’s a wonderful thing she did. Yeah, let’s give her a raise. What do you say? Right?

Ridge: Okay, I’ll look into it.

Donna: Okay, okay. I– I don’t mean to keep harping here, but, um, are you sure you’re up for this? I mean, we could just have a party in a week or two.

Eric: No, no, no, no. No waiting. I feel like this has been a long time coming.

Luna: Wait, so fill me in. What happened?

Rj: Granddad asked me if you were here, so I said yes, and then he invited you to the party.

Luna: Me?

Rj: Yeah. Well, it’s not the first one you’ve been to. You went to the last one.

Luna: Yeah, I know, but I just assumed that that was kind of like a courtesy thing. Or because we were dating or because I helped out on the line. So, you’re telling me that your grandfather, eric forrester, specifically invited me to the family party.

Rj: Yeah, he did. You know what else he asked me? If I love you. You know what I told him?

Luna: That you do?

Rj: It’s just the beauty and the brains, it’s just, it’s such a lethal combo, you know? He also said something really wise to me. That he learned over the last few months just how precious love is. And how I should hold on to the one I love and never let go.

Luna: I love you.

Rj: I love you too.

Ridge: Well, donna and brooke, they’re all in. They already figured out the menu for your party.

[ Eric chuckles ]

Eric: No surprise there. It’s gonna be a wonderful party, I have no doubt about that. It’s gonna be terrific. What?

Ridge: Nothing. It’s just, it’s nice to see you like this. Full of life, energy.

Eric: Yeah. I am full of life. Maybe not completely back. You know, I’m not sure that I’m ever gonna be… a hundred percent again, but, uh… I’m gonna do the best I can. I really am.

Ridge: But you do have the one thing that every person wants. You’re loved.

Eric: Yeah. Never gonna take that for granted again, I’m not. What happened to me changed my life forever.

Ridge: What happened to you? Like when you went on your little trip?

Eric: When I went to the other side, ridge. I went there. There was– there was a feeling of love and peace there that I’ve… I’ve never experienced anytime in my life, and it felt… I felt like I was truly home there. Seeing your mother and– and the people that I knew in my life. I felt like I was home there. And that I was loved there. And I just hope to bring that feeling of love and peace… here. To, uh… to the rest of my life.

Thomas: Let’s do it, hope. Spend our life together. Take that ring off your necklace. Put it on this finger. The way we look at each other. We love each other. We want this. Raising the kids together, husband and wife. Say yes, hope. Say you’ll marry me.

Eric: Well, here’s what I’m hoping for. A positive prognosis tomorrow when we see the doctor. That’s what I want.

Donna: But you had some good ones back at the hospital.

Eric: I know positivity is very important. And I feel better. I feel– I feel better every day. I really do. Although, it’s, uh… it’s not like I’ll be running a marathon again very soon.

Katie: Again?

[ Donna scoffs ]

Eric: All right, ever, if you want to get technical about it. No, no, I do– I do feel better every day. That’s a good sign, right?

Donna: Of course, it’s a good sign, yes. Look, all the tests and the blood work and the meds, it’s all gonna be worth it.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Because this procedure worked and tomorrow, you’re gonna have a good prognosis.

Katie: You’ve been through so much. You both have. If anyone deserves a little good news, it’s the two of you.

Luna: First night in your new rental. You excited?

Rj: Yeah. Less about the place, though. More who I’m with.

Luna: Well, what I’m excited for is that we get to finally be alone together.

Rj: Finally.

Luna: Finally. [ Chuckles ]

[ Knocking ]

Rj: I’m just kidding. I’m joking.

Luna: Oh, my god.

[ Both laughing ]

Rj: We are absolutely… alone.

Katie: There’s no reason to think that tomorrow won’t be good. You’ve been back to the hospital several times now for check-ups, and finn is taking remarkable care of you.

Donna: Yeah, he certainly is. And I am eternally grateful to him and bridget.

Katie: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah, we all are. And we will continue to be.

Donna: You are not going anywhere, okay? You still have a lot more living to do, okay? Come here.

Rj: You know, I remember the first time that I met you.

Luna: What, at um, at your grandfather’s house?

Rj: Mm-hmm. I tried to hide it, but you took my breath away.

Luna: Well, I was too busy being a nervous intern walking into the forrester estate, so…

Rj: You know, I knew there was something special about you. I just had to prove it. Like, I just had to figure out what it was, but… now I’ve got all the proof I need. I feel so close to you.

Luna: I feel close to you, too. I always feel so safe and secure whenever I’m with you.

Hope: I adore you. And you are so, so important to me in my life. But thomas, I– I asked for some time and I still need some time.

Thomas: It’s okay. I understand.

Hope: Do you?

Thomas: Yeah, no, I do. We have plenty of time. Look, when you say yes, I want you to be fully committed to the idea of us. 100% in. And that’s gonna happen. I know it, ’cause I– I can see how we look at each other, how we love each other. Hope… I know we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together. Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Thomas: How settled in are you?

Hope: What do you mean?

[ Thomas clears throat ]

Thomas: Just, uh, I’m wondering if I can convince you to head over to granddad’s with me.

Hope: Of course, but is something wrong? I mean, I know he’s getting some news from the doctor’s tomorrow.

Thomas: Yeah, no, I mean, I don’t think anything’s wrong. Uh, look, my dad texted, and he was planning on going over to granddad’s with your mom, actually, but they’re stuck on one of those international calls that never ends, and so he asked me to go instead.

Hope: Well, I’d be happy to. And honestly, I think eric is probably feeling a little nervous about whatever he’s gonna find out tomorrow, so I’d love to be there for him. It would be nice for us to show a little family support. What? [ Laughs ]

Thomas: Just you. You’re so beautiful. Inside and out. It’S… every time I think about you, I think about your name, and… I know it’s cheesy. It is, but I want hope. Hope for the future. And that makes me think about the hope for our future. The future that we’re gonna share someday.

Zende: I was thrilled to get your text. I was like, party across the courtyard? Of course, I’m walking over.

Eric: No, no, I didn’t say “party,” I didn’t say that. I just thought if he wasn’t busy, he could…

Donna: Uh-huh. What’s this about a party?

Eric: No, well, ridge called and said that thomas might be coming over. And I thought that since katie’s here already, that we could just kind of have a get-together like that.

Katie: Well, I say, yes. Let’s turn the music on. This place just got a lot more interesting.

Donna: Okay, okay, all right. You should be resting.

Eric: Yeah.

Zende: It looks like I got you in trouble, granddad. Maybe I should just head on back to the office.

Eric: No, no, no, no. We have something to celebrate. I’m going to the doctor tomorrow, I’m gonna get a positive prognosis about all this stuff here.

Zende: Yeah, you got this, granddad.

Eric: Yeah, I do. Especially surrounded by this wonderful family.

Zende: Is rj coming too? I assume you texted him.

Eric: No, rj has plans tonight. Something with luna.

Luna: Mm, that was so good. Thank you. I mean, delivery from my favorite restaurant? You’re getting all the brownie points tonight.

Rj: I do have a confession, though. I was nervous about that order. I didn’t know if I got it right.

Luna: No, you did good. I mean, you know me so well.

Rj: Yes, I do. I, um, yeah, I still feel like I have a lot to learn, though.

Luna: What, about my food preferences?

Rj: Yes, yes. Those specifically. Just– you’re just beautifully fascinating.

Luna: Fascinating?

Rj: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] You know, I’ve– I’ve traveled the world and I’ve met so many people. Nobody has been able to capture my imagination and my heart like you do. You jimmys john’s still waking up

[ Hope laughs ]

Hope: I mean, it still amazes me. Every time we come in here, it’s like you’re happier and healthier than ever. I still couldn’t believe it when we walked in the other day and you were playing the piano.

Thomas: I know. Best feeling ever.

Eric: I got through a little bit of it before I had to quit.

Thomas: You definitely did.

Eric: Well, I’m doing better. I’m just– I’m not completely cured. I think I have a long way to go. I really do.

Donna: Well, hopefully when we hear from finn, it’ll be the first step in the right direction in a full recovery.

Eric: Yeah.

Hope: Um, actually, do you mind if I text rj and invite him over? I just– I think he would really love to be here.

Katie: I think he has plans tonight.

Eric: Yeah, a special evening with luna that I insisted he not change.

Thomas: Ah. Is he, uh, settling into the new digs?

>>Donna: Didn’t he, uh, rent from bill spencer?

Hope: Yep, the beach house.

Zende: Lucky for rj.

Eric: I agree with that. I think that’s terrific. I mean, any young person needs to move out of their parents’ house sooner or later. And with what’s going on with– with him and luna, you can imagine the, uh, the memories they’re gonna make. Young love. It’s wonderful.

Luna: I cannot believe my life right now. I mean, is this– is this really happening? I– I– I– get an internship at forrester, which is like my dream job. And then what happens? I meet the coolest guy. The guy that I just walked hand-in-hand with at the beach. In malibu. Malibu. Like, is this really happening right now? It’s like… in the blink of an eye, my entire world shifted.

Rj: I feel the exact same way. My world shifted, and… god, you’re just beautiful.

[ Luna gasps ]

Luna: Oh, my god. How did you…

Rj: I, uh, I just– I just wanted this to be beautiful. I wanted it to be everything that you ever imagined.

Luna: You’re everything I ever imagined. So kind and handsome and funny. Who understands me and… trusts and respects me. And loves me.

Rj: I love you.

Luna: I love you too. Hi, I’m greg.

Eric: Look at me waxing on about, uh, young love. Sometimes, the love you find later in life can be even more fulfilling, darling.

Thomas: Hey, zende.

Zende: Yeah?

Thomas: Did you, by chance, uh, get those designs over to rj, like I asked?

Zende: I did.

Thomas: Yeah? I actually got a good look at his new love shack. I was a bit surprised to learn that rj is renting a multimillion dollar house on the beach. He’s, uh, he’s an incredibly lucky guy, so I guess you can’t blame him for that, right? Everything just seems to fall into his lap. Including luna.

Hope: Oh. Well, I’m sure luna feels lucky to be with a sweet man like rj, and it is pretty clear that they care about each other.

Zende: Sure. Yeah, clear as day.

Luna: Rj, that was… wow.

Rj: Are you okay?

Luna: Yeah. That was amazing. You were amazing. I used to dream about this, you know? My first time, and what it would be like. But what we just shared, that was… that was more than I could have ever imagined.

Rj: You’re so beautiful.

Luna: I’ve never felt closer to anyone than I do to you right now. I just– I want you to hold me in your arms and never let me go.

Rj: I love you.

Luna: I love you too.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: This is a nice surprise.

Finn: You think you’re gonna be working late?

Steffy: Mm… not anymore.

Finn: It’s– it’s too bad we can’t sneak away when you come to the hospital.

Steffy: You know how much I’d love that? Mm-hmm.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: I’m so happy you’re here.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: How’s my, uh… how’s my grandfather?

Finn: Well, we’ve run some more tests and we’ll know more about his long-term prognosis soon.

Steffy: Oh, gosh, I am just so, so grateful. I mean, yes, I’M… I’m still nervous.

Finn: I know.

Steffy: Granddad’s the cornerstone of our family. But you saved his life.

Ridge: There he is.

Finn: Hey.

Ridge: The man of the hour. I feel like I haven’t said it enough. I just– I– we owe you… a great debt. You– you’re, um, what you did was amazing, and it just makes me realize how fleeting these moments are and how lucky we are to be here.

Steffy: Hey, are… what’s going on?

Ridge: Nothing. I’m all right. I’m just thanking him and, um… had a bit of a discussion with brooke about the usual thing.

Steffy: Let me guess. It’s about hope and thomas. Of course.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Zende: Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Now this… this is something special, rj.

Rj: Yeah, I’m feeling really good about it.

Luna: Yeah, it’s amazing.

Zende: You know that this is some of the most expensive real estate in the world?

Rj: Yeah, it’s probably why bill actually didn’t even want to get rid of it. I’m renting it from spencer, of all people, right?

[ Zende laughs ]

Zende: Yeah, I, uh, I doubt that dollar bill would be cutting you a deal on this. A multimillion dollar home in malibu? Now, granddad, he must have cut you a huge bonus for you to be able to swing this place. Oh, hold on a second. What am I saying? It’s not coming out of your pocket. Ridge and brooke are so happy to have their son back home, I’m sure they’re paying for it, aren’t they?

Luna: Hey, you guys are family, and I hate to see this tension or rivalry or whatever it is.

Zende: There’s no rivalry. I’ve already made a name for myself in this business. You’re just starting out. But it must be nice having the great ridge forrester giving you a boost.

Ridge: It’s okay. Just brooke and I had a bit of a difference of opinion.

Steffy: About hope and thomas? What? Something happened?

Finn: Something bad?

Ridge: No. It’s not– well, I don’t know. It’s not bad. It’s, uh… it was unexpected.

Steffy: Oh, great. Now, I’m afraid to ask.

Ridge: Your brother proposed.

[ Thomas chuckles ]

Thomas: That was amazing.

Hope: I’ve, uh… I’ve never felt this way before. I don’t know what it is, but I just… I can’t get enough of you.

[Coughing] I– of c me such a hard t

Zende: Don’t misunderstand me, rj. I’m proud to be a part of this family. I know you are, too.

Rj: Then why are you giving me such a hard time about it, zende?

Zende: Because I don’t think you realize how lucky you are.

Rj: How lucky I am? I– of course I do. I do.

Zende: Look, man, I wasn’t born into all of this the way you were. My life could have turned out very differently. I was left alone at an orphanage in africa. I was a scared, helpless little kid. I had no one. I lost both my parents. Until kristen, your aunt, adopted me. She has been a wonderful mother. She and my father, they love me. They support everything I’ve done. Always have.

Luna: And they’re both designers too.

Zende: Yes, they’re great ones. But they don’t live in L.A. My mother is not here to have my back the way ridge has yours. Your parents run the company. Brooke and ridge are fashion royalty, and you’re the little prince.

Luna: No one treats rj like that, zende. I mean, he works just as hard as–

Zende: I know. I know he works, okay? And honestly, you guys did tear it up in preparation for the fashion showdown, but that isn’t the point I’m trying to make. I’m trying to make you understand where I’m coming from. I’m older than you. I have more experience. I’ve studied design for years. You’re just a couple months into it, learning at the knee of your dad and granddad. Be real, man. If you were in my shoes, you’d be frustrated too.

Finn: And so, thomas had the ring in his pocket?

Ridge: Apparently, he proposed right in the office.

Steffy: That is so romantic.

Ridge: Oh, come on.

Finn: It’s a good thing hope is at least giving it some thought.

Steffy: Oh, she’s not gonna forget about it because it’s a necklace with a ring on it wrapped around her neck.

Ridge: Steffy…

Steffy: So cool.

Ridge: It’s a symbol of his commitment. Give him a break.

Steffy: Symbol of his commitment? Really? How long is this gonna take?

Ridge: I don– he’s gonna give her time so she can make up her own mind. That’s nice.

Steffy: Make up her own mind?

Ridge: Yes.

Steffy: Really? Okay, what if hope says no? What’s that gonna do to thomas? All of the progress he’s made? I mean, she has him just holding on. He’s like stuck in limbo. And I don’t think that’s a very healthy place to be.

Thomas: I’ve never experienced anything like this before. You, your intensity, your passion. You just continue to surprise me.

Hope: I don’t know. I think you bring it out in me.

Thomas: Mm.

Hope: Mm-hmm. This. I don’t know, it’s like it’s something… wild, uninhibited. And… you have a spark and it just ignites all of my desire. Ah mornings!

Steffy: Look, I’m always gonna have thomas’s back. But is this proposal a good idea? Or is it gonna throw him off track?

Finn: Well, you know where I stand. I’m just trying to be as supportive and understanding as I can be.

Ridge: Yeah, and sometimes that means taking a step back, letting grown-ups make their own mistakes.

Finn: He’s– he’s your brother, he’s your son, of course you want him to work this out, but I can’t help but feel for hope after everything that thomas has put her through in the past.

Ridge: Okay. He’s not the same man anymore. He worked hard. He– he deserves love. He’s– he’s worthy of it.

Steffy: I agree a thousand percent. But with hope?

[ Thomas and hope sighing ]

Hope: Wow. I don’t understand what has gotten into me. I can’t get enough of you.

[ Thomas chuckles ]

Rj: I see your perspective, zende, okay? And I just want to let you know that I respect the amount of passion that you have for design and for our company. And I get it. I see what you’re saying, right? You don’t want to be overlooked.

Zende: Or underestimated.

Rj: Or underestimated. Zende, you don’t have to worry about that, man. But I’m gonna give your designs a look, okay? I’ll probably learn a thing or two from them. All right? I will, uh… I’ll give them a look tomorrow morning.

Zende: Tomorrow morning? Because…

Rj: Yeah, I have plans with luna tonight.

Zende: Oh. Okay then. I look forward to hearing from you… tomorrow morning.

Rj: Hey, zende. I mean it. I get why you’re– you’re frustrated, okay? But luna’s right, dude. We’re family and we used to be really close. And I hope we can be again.

Zende: Have a nice night. Bye, luna.

Rj: Think he heard me?

Luna: I’m sorry. I know how much you hate being at odds with him.

Rj: Yeah. Well, there’s only one person I’m focused on tonight. Attention medicare beneficiaries…

Rj: Now, if there’s, uh… no more interruptions.

[ Luna laughs ]

Luna: Um… not yet.

Rj: What do you think? Think we broke the curse?

Luna: Oh, we’re not cursed. We’re just, um… we’re popular.

Rj: Tonight, I want you all for myself.

Luna: We’ve waited a long time for this. All my life.

Rj: Yeah. I want it to be a beautiful night. I want it to be perfect for you.

Luna: I want it to be a beautiful, perfect night too.

Steffy: I agree with you, dad. Thomas has changed, but he deserves to be with someone who truly appreciates him and loves him. Hope can’t give him that.

Finn: And you can’t blame her for being hesitant. So much has happened in the past.

Ridge: Let’s not worry about what happened in the past. Let’s just leave that behind us. Can we do that? Let’s worry about what’s happening now.

Steffy: Okay. Thomas is having a great time with hope, but maybe– maybe he should be with someone who gets excited when he puts a ring on their finger.

Ridge: How do you know she’s not excited? Listen, I get it. You’re looking out for your brother, you don’t want him to get hurt.

Steffy: He could, dad.

Ridge: Of course! We could all get hurt. That’s what happens. It’s– it’s love. There’s no guarantees. That’s why we gotta be positive. Look at the good things, not the bad things. It’s too easy to do that. Look at you guys. You went through a lot. You’re still going through it, but you’re good. You’re better than you were. Am I right? I’m with brooke. We’ve had our ups and downs for sure, but we’re still here. If your brother wants to find– if he wants to find some happiness, let him have it. If he thinks he can find it with hope, let him try.

Thomas: You’re so beautiful. This is what I want. All the time. Just to be with you, to love you, to touch you, kiss you.

[ Thomas sighing ] You say you don’t understand this. That’s ’cause you never had this before. Never been with a man who wants to be with you and only you. Who cherishes you. Someone you can trust. Someone who’s given you his heart. ‘Cause I have. I’ve given you my heart ’cause I trust you. And you can trust me too. You can trust me with your heart because I cherish it. I’m never gonna hurt it. You’ve experienced that pain before. But you never have to again. Hope… you can have that for the rest of your life. All you have to do is take this ring… off this necklace, put it on your finger. Say you’ll marry me, hope. Say you’ll be my wife.

Thomas: You know everything about me now. The good, the bad, everything. You have all of me. There’s never gonna be any secrets between us, never again, I promise. And you know, I have to believe that we have a wonderful future ahead. I have to believe that your mom is wrong. That you’re not gonna break my heart. Or give me back that ring.

Ridge: That’s what I needed. A little pick me upper.

Brooke: Me too. Why do I get the feeling there’s another reason why you wanted to see me?

Ridge: Well, I thought maybe we should talk about the news.

Brooke: Oh, yeah. The news. Thomas proposing to hope. Right. I spoke to her earlier.

Ridge: So did I. So, how do you feel about it? Or do I even need to ask?

Luna: My mom asked me to let it go, so I don’t want to think about who my father is anymore.

Rj: I hear you. Let’s– let’s drop it.

Luna: I mean, it’s not like the thought of who my father is hasn’t crossed my mind a million times before, but… I guess I just have to be okay with maybe never finding out.

Rj: Hey, I shouldn’t have pushed it. Now, though, we know it’s not bill spencer.

Luna: Yeah, we can definitely rule him out.

Rj: Hey, I uh, I know today’s been really stressful, but I would like to turn that around, if you’re okay with it. I planned a special night, just to get your mind off of it. And the beach house is finally mine. And, uh… I want to share it with you. Tonight.

Luna: We get to spend the night together? On the beach?

Rj: Mm-hmm. In the new house. Just the two of us.

Luna: That sounds amazing. Some privacy is exactly what we need.

[ Door opens ]

Charlie: Hello. [ Chuckles ] Rj. Hey, didn’t mean to crash the party, sorry. I just heard about the new malibu digs, huh? The old spencer beach house. My god, what a score! That place is unbeliev– you two are gonna be hanging ten real soon. Cowabunga, huh? Oh, hey, oh, here. Oh, here, okay. Okay, good luck.

Rj: Thanks.

Brooke: We agree on just about everything else.

Ridge: But not on this. Not when our kids want to move forward with something. Listen, here’s my point. They’ve been able to move past everything that they went through.

Brooke: Well, I don’t think she’ll ever be able to move past this. I mean, thomas, I worry about him. He really does love her. And his feelings are very fragile. What if he’s setting himself up for major pain and heartache?

Hope: You know, I’ve thought about this a lot. Your proposal. What it means. If I could even accept it. And, uh, my mom has certainly given her opinion. And now, so has ridge. But really, the only opinions that should matter are, um… thomas, I want to make something very clear. What you told me about that night… it was very hard for me to hear. And I… I wasn’t sure how to feel about the man back then. But you, it’s not just empty words. You’re a man of action and follow through. And you showed me over the years just how much you were willing to change and willing to do the work on yourself. And you really stepped up. Not just– not just for me or the job, but for the kids. I mean, that’s a testament to you, thomas. That’s strength. So, what I’m trying to say is you are not only a talented designer, an amazing father, a loyal man, but I do feel safe with you. I feel like I can give my heart to you. And I do believe in you, thomas. I was looking for some of the best

Ridge: Because thomas put himself out there, he put his heart on the line. Doesn’t mean it’s gonna work. I mean, there’s hundreds of stories about unrequited love. I’m just glad that wasn’t our story.

Brooke: Our story has a happy ending.

Ridge: Our story, young lady, hasn’t even started.

Zende: Hey, have you guys seen rj?

Charlie: Oh, he and– he and luna just elvis’d out of here.

Zende: Hm?

Charlie: They uh, left the building?

Zende: Well, that’s a bummer. I wanted to show him these designs that thomas and I collaborated on. Make sure they don’t step on his work on granddad’s line. I’ll just swing by your place. I’ll talk to him there.

Charlie: Not so fast, my friend. If you want to see rj, you’re gonna have to take the ten west to the one north. Five scenic miles and then turn left.

Zende: Wait, hold on, charlie why are you mapping me out to malibu?

Charlie: Well, that’s where rj’s new swanky beach pad is.

Zende: His new what?

Charlie: His casa del sando. His hacienda del beach-O.

Zende: Seriously? Rj has a new beach house?

Ridge: He’s renting it from bill, of all people.

Brooke: He didn’t buy it.

Zende: Not yet, anyway. Wow, at a ripe young age, rj is renting his own malibu home on the beach for a small fortune. Great. Rj really is the anointed one.

Charlie: What?

Luna: I still can’t believe this is officially your place.

Rj: Neither can I. Yet.

Luna: You checked all the rooms?

Rj: I did, and the beach. And your mom and bill aren’t out there stalking us, so…

Luna: And what about the garage?

Rj: That too, it’s all clear.

Luna: Okay, cool. So, we might actually have some solitude for once. And no one’s gonna like suddenly barge in on us. I think, um, I think we’re finally alone.

Rj: I think we are.

Luna: Do you happen to have like a mint or a gum or something?

Rj: You don’t need a mint.

Luna: I just want to be sure.

Rj: Do I need a mint?

Luna: No.

Rj: No?

Luna: No.

Rj: I think I have one right here for you, my dear.

Luna: Thank you.

Rj: You’re welcome. Good?

Luna: Mm-hmm. Okay, I’m ready.

Hope: I know you’re not the same guy you once were.

Thomas: I’m not. I got rid of that guy a long time ago.

[ Hope chuckles ] I trust you. And I have faith in you. And that means having faith in all the promises you’re making.

Thomas: Thank you hope. Thank you for seeing me. Seeing the man I am today, the man who loves you, cherishes you, and will for the rest of his life. It took me a long time. I changed from a person that I was into the man I am today and that took a lot of work.

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, it takes everyone work, and we all have to keep working. And I will keep working, ’cause I want to continue to prove to you and to everyone else that I am a man that is worthy of your love. And that ring, it’s more than just a ring. It’s a symbol, eternal love that I have for you. I’m going to keep loving you for the rest of my life. And I am so excited for that ring to be on your finger. And for you to be my wife. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

she wished there was a way to

make it last longer. a little resentful.

Brooke: What was that all about?

Ridge: Zende seems a little resentful.

Brooke: Well, I guess that’s understandable. I mean, eric did choose to confide in rj and work with him instead of zende.

Ridge: And then I asked rj to finish the line when dad was in the hospital. I asked zende too, but it’s–

Brooke: After the fact.

Ridge: Yeah, he didn’t like that.

Brooke: Our son is an accomplished young man. First, a social media sensation. And now, a designer at forrester creations.

Ridge: I think that’s zende’s point. You know, our son’s been given a lot of opportunities since he’s been back to los angeles.

Brooke: That’s true. He didn’t even want to be a part of this company in the first place.

Ridge: No. I don’t like that zende feels that way. He’s a very talented designer. And maybe dad didn’t pick him because he thought he had too much work to do with hope for the future.

Brooke: He does seem quite bothered about rj’s rapid rise to the top. And now, the beach house.

Ridge: I think zende just wants to be recognized. That’s all.

Luna: You’ve created such a beautiful, romantic time for us.

Rj: I wanted it to be perfect

Luna: And it is. I’ve, um, I’ve never felt more ready to take the next step. You know, I’ve been holding out for the right person. Someone caring and sensitive, and sexy.

Rj: You ready?

Luna: I am. For the first time in my life, I– I want to.

[ Knock on door ]

Luna: No way.

Rj: This isn’t real. You’re kidding me.

Luna: It’s fine. Just don’t answer it, and maybe they’ll go away.

Rj: Okay.

[ Knock on door ]

Luna: It’s fine. Just leave it. Maybe they’ll just leave.

Zende: Rj, it’s me, zende.

Rj: How does he know I’m even here?

Zende: Your car’s out front. Rj.

Rj: Maybe he just– maybe he won’t be here too long. Okay?

Luna: Okay.

Rj: Yeah.

Zende: Hey, man.

Rj: Hey.

Zende: I heard about your new place, sweet. Oh, hey, luna. I hope I’m not interrupting you guys.

Hope: I know where I stand with you. You have always been open and generous about how you feel. And I am so, so grateful for that. More than you know.

Thomas: I don’t want you to ever question how I feel about you.

Hope: I don’T. I know you love me. And I know you to be steadfast and true. And I can’t tell you how nice it is to be with a man where that is the reality. It’s just that, um…

Thomas: You are still having doubts? Yeah. But not about you. Not about us. Not about what we share. It’s just… it’s just the timing.

Thomas: Yeah. You’re not ready.

Hope: No. Not yet. So, in the meantime, I will continue to wear this beautiful ring right by my heart. And one day, maybe I will be ready for a commitment. But in the meantime, please know that I know you to be a good man. And a good father. With a good heart. And you make me feel like I… (vo) it’s ultimate endless shrimp with another limited-time

Rj: So, what’s up?

Zende: I have designs for you.

Rj: Oh, oh. So this, uh… this couldn’t wait until tomorrow?

Zende: I wanted to get them in your hands right away.

Rj: Oh, well, I’m a little busy right now, so I’ll take a look at them later.

Zende: All right.

Rj: You know, just out of curiosity, how did you know that I’m– I’m living here? I haven’t told a lot of people.

Zende: Charlie.

Luna: Charlie.

Rj: Charlie.

Zende: Yeah, when I couldn’t find you in the office, I was going to go over to brooke and ridge’s, but charlie let me know about the new house, and I figured I’d come check it out.

Luna: Yeah, yeah. It’s a really nice house.

Zende: Yeah, I’ll say. Man, your own spot in malibu’s billionaire beach. Nice work. And I love the décor.

Rj: Thank you, zende.

Zende: You know, you’re really living large, aren’t you?

Rj: Well, yeah, is it really that unusual, though? I mean, you could live like this if you wanted to.

Zende: I don’t know. Might be out of my budget. But not for you. Not for the golden child of brooke logan and ridge forrester.

Ridge: Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition.

Brooke: Well, let’s hope it’s only temporary.

Ridge: Okay, but they’ve got to figure that out. I’m not going to meddle. Not with them, or hope and thomas.

Brooke: That’s a different situation.

Ridge: No, it’s not. They’re adults. They can figure it out. They can make their own decisions.

Brooke: Thomas hasn’t always had the best judgment.

Ridge: Okay, that’s old news. We don’t need to talk about that.

Brooke: What if this decision to propose sets him back again?

Ridge: No, what if this decision makes all the difference? The power of love. It’s what we have. Come on, yeah. I love you.

Thomas: What about um…

Hope: The kids are gonna be gone for hours. I just want… I just want you.

Ridge: That ring is absolutely beautiful. Well done, son.

Thomas: Thanks, dad. I appreciate that. You know, honestly, I thought– when I told you I, uh, proposed to hope, you would… I don’t know, think I lost my sanity?

Ridge: You wanted something and you went after it. I love that. I love you. I love you. Look what I’m looking at. This. I love this. And so does hope. Or she wouldn’t be wearing your ring. Not even around her neck.

Thomas: I just wish that brooke felt the same way.

Brooke: You’ve been through a lot lately. And your marriage falling apart, that was very traumatic. And what you think you feel for thomas, that is just filling that empty hole in your heart.

Hope: So, are you saying that my feelings for thomas aren’t real?

Brooke: Honey, thomas isn’t the man for you. And if you accept his proposal, that would be the biggest mistake of your life.

Luna: Look, mom, I know you want me to let this go, but I can’T. So please, just be honest with me. Is bill spencer my father?

Poppy: I was honest with you, sweetheart. Bill is not your father.

Luna: Just like every other guy I’ve asked you about, huh?

Poppy: Okay, what does it matter, okay? I thought we were happy.

Luna: We were, mom. We are. I mean, I couldn’t have asked for a better childhood, but I have questions. You know, I could get answers on my own. I could get a test or something.

Poppy: No, luna, please. Please don’T. Just don’T.

Luna: Mom, what are you hiding from me?

Ridge: Let’s not worry about that right now, okay?

Thomas: Dad, brooke is never gonna forget my past. She hates that hope and i are together. She’s gonna hate that I proposed even more.

Ridge: All right, but she knows that you’ve been making strides, that you’re a better person now. Does she want you with her daughter? Absolutely not. I also don’t think she’s gonna stand in your way.

Brooke: Honey, please, just take that necklace off and give that ring back to thomas.

Hope: I– I really am at a loss for words, mom. I mean, I– I don’t know what else I can say to convince you that I genuinely care about thomas.

Brooke: I know that you think that he’s changed and maybe he has, but that doesn’t erase the past. Erase everything that he’s done to you and your family to hurt you. I know deep down, you know that. But it just breaks my heart, honey, that you believe this is what you deserve. But you don’T. You deserve so much more. This, this is just settling. I love you, hope. And I just want you to be happy. And I know you won’t be happy with thomas. You won’T. Please, honey, you can’t accept his proposal. You just can’T.

Poppy: Please don’t pursue this.

Luna: Why?

Poppy: Out of respect for your mother.

Luna: Why? Is my father that horrible or something? Is it– is it shameful or embarrassing? Mom, whatever it is, whatever you’re hiding, you can tell me. Come on, mom, is it like a deep, dark family secret or something?

Finn: Oh, hey, luna.

Luna: Hi.

Finn: Hey, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Aunt poppy? You know that feeling of having to re-wash dishes

Finn: Oh my gosh, aunt poppy. It is so good to see you.

Poppy: It’s good to see you too. It’s been too long.

Finn: Yeah, way too long. And I had heard you were in town. It’s– it’s been great having luna in la, and now it’s gonna be even better having both of you.

Poppy: To be honest, I wanted to reach out, but things have been a little crazy.

Finn: Oh, I’m sorry, did I– did I interrupt something?

Luna: No, no, not at all.

Finn: Well, you look amazing, as always. Beautiful and stylish.

Luna: Yeah, that’s my mom.

Finn: I think about all the time that we spent together all those years ago, and then one day, you were gone.

Luna: All the time that you spent together?

Finn: Yeah. When I started college, your mom stayed with us.

Charlie: Hey.

Thomas: Hey, charlie.

Charlie: Junior cheese.

Thomas: What?

Charlie: Oh, no, you’re right, you’re right. Rj would be junior to ridge’s big cheese, so that would make you, don’t tell me, it would…

Thomas: Charlie, can I help you with something?

Charlie: Oh, yeah, I just– just wanted your dad to know that the beautiful and breathtaking esther valentine has finished her fitting. I– I ran into her on the elevator.

Thomas: Bumped into her, huh?

Charlie: Yeah, yeah. Total– total coincidence.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s interesting because you are the head of security. Wouldn’t you be notified when a vip arrives?

Charlie: Well, I…

Thomas: Charlie, are you, um, do you have a crush on esther?

Charlie: Oh, what? You think that little– that little kitten has old charlie smitten? Well, I… oh, how about those dodgers, huh? Ohtani, mookie betts. Ooh, yeah.

Brooke: I’m sorry, charlie, but I’d really like to speak to thomas.

Charlie: Oh, of course. Okay, see you later. Cottage cheese, huh?

Thomas: No, no.

Charlie: I’ll keep working on it.

Thomas: Okay.

Charlie: Gouda. Breingen.

[ Brooke and thomas sigh ]

Thomas: What can I do for you?

Brooke: I was with hope, so I know what you did.

Thomas: What I did? What did I do?

Brooke: You proposed to her. What were you thinking, thomas?

Thomas: Hope, you’ve transformed me. Lit up my world. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m a one-woman man. You’re that woman for me. You, and only you, for the rest of my life.

[ Knocking on door ]

Hope: Ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Hope: Uh, if you are looking for my mom, she has already left.

Ridge: I actually came down here to talk to you.

Hope: Okay, what’s– what’s up?

Ridge: Thomas told me about the proposal and you wearing this ring, not wearing it, it’s a little confusing.

Hope: Okay, well, if you are here to grill me as well, my mom already did a pretty good job of doing that, so.

Ridge: It’s not what I’m here for. I came here to remind you what a remarkable man my son is. But I guess you already know that.

When you smell the amazing

scent of gain flings…

Rj: I can’t stop kissing you. I think about you day and night.

Luna: We need to be alone together. Please get a place of your own soon.

>Luna: I never knew that you stayed with aunt li and uncle jack.

Poppy: I mean, for a bit.

Finn: My first year of college was really tough, and she kept an eye on me. My parents were both busy with their careers. I can’t tell you the amount of just pressure I felt. Having a dad as a lawyer and a mom as a doctor, I put a lot of stress on myself. But then, there was aunt poppy. This beautiful, free spirit, just lived life the way that she wanted to. She would literally close my computer while I was doing homework if I looked too stressed. We’d have, um, was it–

Poppy and finn: Spontaneous dance party.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah. We had a lot of good times.

Luna: Was I there too?

Finn: No, this was about a year before you were born.

[ Phone chimes ] Oh, this is the hospital. I need– I need to make this call.

Luna: Oh, just do it here.

Finn: You sure?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, we were about to leave anyway, so. But before we go, why did you need to see me?

Finn: Oh, I was with steffy and we just wanted to see if you and rj wanted to have dinner soon. But you know what? Why don’t we all do it together?

Poppy: Oh, no. I don’t think so.

Finn: Why? Oh, my mom. Yes. Look, I promise I am trying to get her to chill out about both of you, okay? But yeah, I need to make this. Is it okay?

Luna: Yeah. Of course.

Finn: Thank you so much.

Thomas: Brooke, I can imagine how you’re feeling, but I really don’t wanna argue with you.

Brooke: Okay, that’s not why I’m here. I’m just worried about you, thomas. Proposing to hope? Really? You wanna set yourself up for heartbreak?

Thomas: Look, yeah, I really wanna believe you’re looking out for me, but…

Brooke: I am looking out for you. You’re ridge’s son and I want the best for you.

Thomas: So, did hope tell you something, like she’s not gonna accept my proposal, or…

Brooke: No. She’s, uh, very conflicted. Whether she wants to admit it or not, I know she is not going to fully be able to commit herself to you or give you the life that you want.

Ridge: Don’t be mad at your mom. She’s just looking out for you. I lost faith in thomas too. And he’s worked very hard because he wants me to believe in him. And I do believe in him. But the more important thing for my son is that you believe in him. You know how much he loves you, right?

Hope: I do.

Ridge: And I hope that the feelings that you have for him are genuine, because if they’re not, it’s gonna crush him. And I gotta tell you, even wearing this ring around your neck, it makes him feel like there’s a chance. Makes me feel like there’s a chance.

Hope: So, what are you– what are you saying?

Ridge: You guys are good together. You’re– you’re great parents to douglas, you’re good collaborators, you’re– you’re great friends. But more than that, you found a way to forgive him. And that’s extraordinary. You– you’re a remarkable young woman, and I would be so happy if– if you were my daughter-in-law. If you’ve had sensitivity, those zingers can really cause

Luna: Feels good to be in your arms.

Rj: I feel the same way. That’s why I was texting you. You talk to your mom?

Luna: I did.

Rj: So, what’d she say?

Luna: That bill spencer is not my father.

Rj: Seriously? I’m– I’m so sorry. Are– are– are you okay?

Luna: She was upset that we were even having the conversation. Like, it terrifies her that I’m even curious about who my father is. I mean, she does exactly the same thing whenever I bring up a man from her past. First, she deflects, and then she says “nozawa power.” Mother and daughter, just the two of us.

Rj: She– she does understand that you, like, wanting to know who your father is, it doesn’t change how you feel about her, right?

Luna: And I actually told her that I could, um, look into a paternity test on my own.

Rj: Okay. Well, what’d she say to that?

Luna: Like, freaked out. She begged me not to do it.

Rj: Begged you? Why?

Luna: I have no idea. I mean, she always says that I was made from love, right? So, I don’t understand why she’s acting like the truth about my father is some, like, dark family secret.

Rj: Do– do you think she knows who your dad is?

Luna: She says she doesn’t, but I’m pretty sure she does.

Rj: I’m sorry, luna. What are you gonna do?

Luna: I don’t know why it upsets her so much, but I also– I– I don’t wanna hurt her, so. I guess I’ll just have to stop worrying about who my father is.

Finn: Uh, what about mrs. Allen? What were the results on her ct scan? Okay, okay.

Brooke: I love you, hope, and I just want you to be happy, and I know you won’t be happy with thomas. You won’T. Please, honey. You can’t accept his proposal. You just can’T.

Ridge: I don’t know. I’M… you guys are good together. You– you’re great parents to douglas. You’re good collaborators. You’re great friends. But more than that, you found a way to forgive him. And that’s extraordinary. You– you’re a remarkable young woman, and I would be so happy if– if you were my daughter-in-law.

Thomas: Hey, you.

Hope: Oh, hey to yourself. Uh, so, your dad was just here.

Thomas: Huh. That’s interesting. Your mom actually stopped in on me.

[ Clears throat ] So… guess the proposal’s not a secret anymore.

Hope: Well, I mean, realistically, we would’ve had to tell the parents eventually.

Thomas: And their reactions couldn’t be more different.

Hope: Hope my mom wasn’t too rough on you.

Thomas: Oh, no. I mean, it’s just the same old, same old. She thinks I can never make you happy and all that jazz. She’s also looking out for me, making sure that I’m not gonna be heartbroken and disappointed. What did my dad say?

Hope: Had a lot of nice things to say about you, and also said that he would be happy if I was his– if I were to be his daughter-in-law one day.

Thomas: Wow, really?

Hope: Mm-hmm. No, it was actually… it was really sweet that he took the time to come here and say that to me.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: So, um, about my mom.

Thomas: Hey, it doesn’t matter.

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: Look, hey, no, no, honestly, this is…

[ Laughs ] It’s the status quo at this point. She doesn’t have faith in us. She doesn’t believe that we could have a fruitful relationship. That’s okay. And hey, look, I am not here to pressure you, okay? You can take as long as you need making all the decisions you want. I know that it’s well worth it. Because I know… this ring will be on your finger. I have faith.

Luna: Why aren’t you answering my question, mom?

Poppy: Sweetheart, where is this all coming from?

Luna: I told you, rj and i were talking about the timeline. Your past with bill spencer. The night that you guys spent together at the music festival a little over 20 years ago. And then I was born less than a year later. Is it him, mom? Is bill spencer my father?

Bill: Initial here. Here. Sign. Date. Congratulations. Welcome home.

Rj: Thank you, sir. Well, it’s official. Bill spencer’s my landlord.

[ Bill laughs ]

Bill: No wild parties. And don’t touch the décor.

Rj: Well, is that it? That’s the only two clauses?

Bill: Did you read anything you just signed?

Rj: I’m making a– I’m joking.

Bill: I know you are. Listen, I have faith in you. And I know that luna’s gonna be spending a lot of time here, so she’ll keep you on the straight and narrow.

Rj: I hope so.

Bill: Keep the place nice.

Rj: Yeah.

Bill: Yes.

Rj: I will. That’s sound advice. I will.

Bill: Yes, yes. From what I can tell, you are dating a remarkable young lady.

Thomas: You know, I’m gonna head over to the house later and see granddad.

Ridge: Good. He’ll appreciate the company.

Thomas: It’s good to see him getting stronger, you know.

Ridge: He is getting stronger. Still has a ways to go. He has a follow-up tomorrow, and we’ll see if he gets some news. I still haven’t heard yours yet.

Thomas: My news?

Ridge: You said there was something going on with you and hope.

Thomas: Oh, um… look, I love her, you know, and I– I don’t want anything to come between us.

Hope: Mom, I have to show you what beth made in art class today. Look what the teacher sent me.

Brooke: Oh! Oh, that’s beautiful. I love the colors.

Hope: They had to paint their emotions, and beth said that she feels warm, happy and sunny.

Brooke: That must make you feel good. Given everything that you’re going through since your divorce with liam.

Hope: If you are about to take a dig at thomas, please don’T.

Brooke: Did I mention thomas?

Hope: No, but I know how you are still worried about our involvement with each other.

Ridge: Is somebody causing problems for you and hope?

Thomas: No, I’m not gonna let that happen. And look, the challenges of the past, they won’t be an issue if I’m honest about them.

Ridge: That’s the right attitude.

Thomas: Yeah, and I do believe that hope still has faith in me.

Ridge: Is there a question about that?

Thomas: No, I mean, not necessarily. Not about my feelings for her. I’ve made those very clear. And I don’t think it’s necessarily her feelings for me. I… I may have done something.

Ridge: You may have done what?

Thomas: I…

[ Sighs ] Not may have. I– I did. I– I, um, I proposed to hope.

Hope: Mom, I really don’t want to have to keep defending my relationship with thomas to you every time we speak.

Brooke: Well, I would like to know how you feel about it. I mean, last time we spoke, you said that there could be a future between you and thomas. I mean, you have to be honest with yourself, hope. You really think you could do that? After everything that’s happened? After everything that he’s done? What you know about him? You really think that you could have a serious relationship with thomas?

Luna: Look, I know that this probably seems like it’s coming out of nowhere, but I– I need to know the truth. So please just answer me, mom. Is bill spencer my father?

Poppy: No, honey. Bill isn’t your father. I mean, it’s funny you would even think that.

Luna: It’s not funny to me. Every single time I would bring up a man from your past, that’s always your answer. You always say, “of course not. He can’t be your father. Okay, then who is my father, mom? I don’t know a single thing about him. Why? What are you keeping from me?

Parodontax

Ridge: So you proposed to hope, and she said maybe.

Thomas: She was a little too thrown to give me an answer.

Ridge: Oh, yeah, you said you caught her off guard.

Thomas: Right, I did, and… look, but we were talking about the future, right? And how I feel about her.

Ridge: But she didn’t think you were gonna propose to her.

Thomas: I wanted it to be a surprise.

Ridge: Okay. Thomas, you–

Thomas: Dad, look, hope needs a little more time, and that’s fine. I’m willing to wait. I love her so much. And one day, she’s going to take that ring off her necklace and put it on her finger, and it’s gonna make me the happiest man in the world.

Brooke: Honey, you’ve been so quiet recently. What is going on? Just talk to me.

Hope: If I do, can you promise not to turn it into a lecture?

[ Brooke huffs ]

Brooke: Just tell me the truth.

Hope: About if I see myself with thomas?

Brooke: Yeah. Can you see yourself with thomas in a serious relationship? Not this situation that you have going on now.

Hope: Mom, he loves me. He is committed to me.

Brooke: Okay, but how do you feel about him? If you don’t feel the same way, you’re just leading him on, and that’s not fair to thomas. And it could be dangerous.

Hope: Oh, mom, stop. He is not that man anymore. He loves me. It is real. It is beautiful. It’s not some delusion. And the only reason I thought that maybe I’m not ready to get married yet is–

Brooke: Married? Did he propose?

Hope: He did.

Brooke: Oh, my god, hope. What did you say? Well, you’re not wearing his ring.

[ Sighs ] I’m just glad you said no.

Bill: I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that there is something special about the nozawa women.

Rj: No, no, I agree with you 100%.

Bill: I mean, they make you sit up and take notice. I mean, there– there could be a– a crowd of people and all you see is her.

Rj: That’s– that’s exactly how I feel about luna. You really only talked to poppy and met her that one time?

Bill: Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Rj: Very true. I mean, but you two must have made like a really powerful connection. I mean, it must be crazy seeing her now. Is it?

Bill: I could hardly believe it.

Rj: But you– you recognized poppy right away. After– after one– one night, just like a few hours together?

Bill: That evening we spent together is one that I will never forget.

Poppy: Luna, sweetheart. I thought you were happy. Things were going so well. This hasn’t come up in so long.

Luna: Yeah, well, rj and I were discussing your history with bill and how you met and that– that one magical night that you two shared together. Did you hook up with him, mom? Were– were you two intimate?

Poppy: Luna, I’ve always been open with you and I never wanted you to be embarrassed about these things, but I don’t like being interrogated. I would never do that to you.

Luna: Okay. I’ll take that as a yes. The timeline matches up. And bill could be my father. Are you lying to me, mom? With the freestyle libre 3 system…

Rj: I just– I just think it’s interesting. You know there’s– it’s like there’s something pulling you and poppy back together again.

Bill: Yeah, well, it’s about time my luck finally turned around.

Rj: Yeah, it might be good luck for all three of you. Well, you know, because, um… luna and her mom are really close, and they’ve been on their own for a really long time. You know, luna seeing her mom happy, it– it means a lot to her.

Bill: Well, my boys feel the same way. And I want poppy to get to know them.

Rj: Yeah, luna too. I think she’d fit right in.

Bill: I’m sure they could learn a lot from each other. But before we start introducing families, poppy and I have some more catching up to do.

Rj: Yeah, no, you two should definitely do that. And, uh, who knows? Poppy being back might give your life an unexpected gift.

Luna: See, this is why I never ask about my father. It makes you so uncomfortable.

Poppy: I’m not lying to you, baby.

Luna: Well, you’re not being completely honest with me either.

Poppy: Well, I’m telling you the truth. The same thing I say every time you bring this up. I am your mother. I’m an independent woman, and I am your only parent. I try to be everything that you need. And, yeah, there were times that we struggled.

Luna: Yeah.

Poppy: But you were always safe and secure and loved beyond measure. You’re the reason for every decision that I’ve made ever since I learned… that I was pregnant with you. And I love you with all of my being. Please… please tell me that’s enough.

Ridge: So hope hasn’t told anyone that you proposed?

Thomas: No, we kind of decided to keep it to ourselves for now. Well, we did. Obviously, I told you, and I’m kind of hoping you might not tell brooke.

Ridge: Yeah, listen, son… I’m proud of you. You’ve made good, healthy choices and I see you standing right here. I see who you are. You put yourself out there, but now this is up to hope. Don’t pressure her.

Thomas: No, of course not. I won’T. Look, she’s got me. Always. And I gotta say, I– I really love the fact that you, time after time, you show me this– you have like faith in me, and you give me this unwavering support and it…

[ Sighs ] …It means the world.

Ridge: You’re my boy. You have one of your own, so you know what that feels like.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Fathers and sons.

Thomas: Same is true for mothers and daughters.

Brooke: Oh, honey, you are such a good person. And I know you care about thomas, but he should have realized you’re not ready to make a decision like that. I mean, a marriage proposal out of nowhere?

Hope: Okay, I– I will admit I was a little surprised.

Brooke: You are still trying to process the end of your marriage with liam.

Hope: Okay, yes, I am.

Brooke: Your whole world was turned upside down.

Hope: And thomas helped me back.

Brooke: Helped? I thought your involvement with him was just sort of a reaction to…

Hope: A reaction?

Brooke: Okay, look, it’s been a very confusing time. But, honey, you did the right thing. And if thomas loves you as much as he says he does, he’ll understand. But you can’t go through with this. You can’t accept his proposal. Not after everything that he’s done.

Hope: Well, if it makes you feel better, I– I didn’t say yes. But I didn’t exactly say no either. At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Poppy: I know I couldn’t give you the kind of life that rj had growing up. Okay? It wasn’t easy. We didn’t have luxuries, but we had each other.

Luna: I love the life that we share together.

Poppy: I tried to provide for you.

Luna: I know that, I know. I mean, you devoted your entire life to me.

Poppy being your mom is the best and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my life. All of my pride, all of my joy, it’s right here.

Luna: I got all of my values and my ambition and confidence from you. Look, this is not the reason why I’m asking about my father okay? I’m not trying to look for something better. I love the life that we have, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s just sometimes, when I look in the mirror, there’s so many, like, question marks above my head. Like there’s so many parts of me that I don’t know about myself.

Poppy: But I don’t want you to feel that way.

Luna: Okay, but you have to understand.

Poppy: Yes, I do, but… you know what? You don’t have to. Look at me. We’re nozawa women. What have we got, huh? We’ve got nozawa. Just me and you. The sisterhood, right? Come on, huh? Do it.

Luna: Nozawa power.

Poppy: You’re my entire world.

Luna: Love you, mom.

Ridge: Let’s not worry about brooke right now. You and hope, you’ve been there for each other like no one else has.

Thomas: Thanks, dad.

Ridge: You made your intentions clear. You proposed to her, and if hope had any concerns, she would have said no.

Thomas: Right, but she didn’t say no.

Ridge: She didn’T. So all you can do now is be honest and tell her the truth.

Thomas: And just wait for hope’s response.

Ridge: Yeah. Here’s the good news. She’s got the ring. If this is supposed to happen, love will find a way. Come here.

Thomas: Hey.

Brooke: Why are you wearing thomas’s ring on your necklace?

Hope: Well, he gave it to me.

Brooke: But when you propose, you give a person a ring if they accept, and you didn’t accept.

Hope: No, I– I couldn’T.

Brooke: No, of course you couldn’T. You may have forgiven thomas, but how could you possibly forget everything that he has done?

Hope: That is not the reason why, mom. I needed more time. And while I am doing that, I am going to keep this ring close to my heart.

Brooke: And whose idea was that? Look, I– I’m sorry, but I don’t find this funny or cute or romantic or any of that. To me, this reminds me of thomas’s old behavior.

Hope: Oh my gosh, mom. Are you kidding? It’s like no matter what he does, you find fault with it. It’s like you cannot let it go. Mom, the reason I asked for more time is because I need to figure some things out for myself. Yes, I am still dealing with the end of my marriage, but I also need to make sure that the kids are okay. That they are happy, that they are healthy, that they are stable before I go making any more giant, life-changing decisions. And, oh, by the way, don’t you want me to be happy?

Brooke: Oh, my god, hope! Yes, of course I want you to be happy. The way you were when you were with liam.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, mom! Liam left me! Thomas never has. He has been consistent. He has been supportive. And it’s like you just– you refuse to accept that– that he has changed. Mom, he has become a positive force in my life, both professionally and personally. What?

Brooke: So you’re saying that there’s a possibility of a future between you and thomas? Honey… please, I am begging you. Don’t accept his proposal. Please. You cannot become thomas’ wife.

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

Luna: You can’t be serious.

RJ: I– I mean, well, it’s possible. Come on, the magical night that the two of them spent together, the fact that Bill and Poppy are quite fond of each other? I mean, I don’t– I don’t think it’s a stretch to think they hooked up.

Luna: Okay, that much I’ll buy. But the other thing? What you’re suggesting is– is– is crazy.

RJ: Well, it might be. I don’t know. It might not. Come on, what if Bill Spencer is your father?

---

Bill: Well, thanks for drawing these up, Diana, and for personally bringing them by. Standard lease agreement. Pretty boilerplate, right?

Diana: You’re welcome. You want to add or take out something specific?

Bill: Nope, it’s good.

Diana: I’m surprised. I thought you might keep it for yourself. Can’t beat the location. A romantic setting, impressing the ladies.

Bill: Yeah, but, um… there’s only one lady that I’m interested in impressing.

---

Poppy: I didn’t realize I had that effect on you.

Bill: From the day I first laid eyes on you.

Poppy: It seems like a lifetime ago.

Bill: Well, in some ways it is. But like I told you, from the day you walked in this restaurant, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you. I haven’t forgotten, Poppy.

Poppy: I haven’t forgotten either.

---

Bill: I can’t stop thinking about you. And– and I feel like there are forces at work that– that brought us back into each other’s lives for a reason.

Poppy: Well, I don’t know about forces, but things definitely happen for a reason.

Bill: I wanna spend more tie with you. I wanna get to know you better. I wanna get to know your daughter better. I want you to meet my son. I mean, Liam is really excited to meet you, and… Well, he just kept reiterating that… we’ve been brought back togethr for a reason.

Poppy: I think he may be right.

---

Bill: Thank you. Take care.

Luna: I can’t believe the thought of Bill Spencer being my father is crossing your mind.

RJ: Well, obviously, I don’t know. But, Luna, think about it. Your mom and Bill, they haven’t forgot each other after years. And, you know, the connection that they share is obvious. I mean, everyone can see the connection that they share. And they both talk about the night that they spent together as really special to both of them. And plus, there’s the math. You know, the math checks out with how old you are and when the two of you met. I just– I don’t think it’s that big of a stretch.

Ginge: Sorry to interrupt.

RJ: Hey, Ginge. Uh, I’m like right in the middle of something.

Ginge: Bill Spencer.

Luna: What?

Ginge: Bill Spencer. I’m covering phones. He’s calling for you, RJ.

RJ: Thank you, Ginge. Appreciate it, man. He’s probably just calling to talk to me about the beach house or something like that. Hey, Bill. Uh, sorry to keep you waiting.

Bill: Not a problem. I didn’t have your cell, so I called the main number. Hope I’m not pulling you away from anything too important.

RJ: No, no, no. I… Actually, we were, uh… we were just talking about you.

Bill: Oh, well, that could be trouble.

RJ: Yeah, yeah. Just, you know, uh, about the beach house, how excited I am to move in. Well, you’re a lucky man and this happens to be your lucky day. I know that Wyatt already gave you the keys, but if you can drop by over here, we can get the lease signed off and you can officially move in.

RJ: Okay. I’ll be right over. Thank you. That was, uh, about going over and officially signing the lease. Yay. And, you know, maybe while I’m there, I’ll suss out Bill about your mom and what he and her shared all those years ago. Hey, listen. I’m not trying to push you or anything, all right? I’m just letting you know what I was thinking. Bill and Poppy share a history and I don’t know, the timeline adds up with how old you are and when they met. Maybe it’s time.

Luna: Time?

RJ: Time for you to ask your mom if Bill Spencer is your dad.

---

RJ: I’m just saying is that this timeline adds up. Your mom and Bill met over years ago at the Golden Gate Music Festival. They instantly have this huge connection. They spend this magical night together, and for whatever reason, something happened and they went their separate ways.

Luna: Well, probably would’ve been different if they lived in the same city.

RJ: Yeah. Yeah, I’m willing to bet it would’ve been. Would’ve been different for all of you, especially you.

Luna: If Bill is my father, you mean.

RJ: It’s just, Luna, there’s this– there’s this wistfulness when you talk to me about your father and… I just think that this is your opportunity to change that. Look, I– I– I have to go. I have to go meet Bill to sign this lease. Um, but just think about it. And, you know, your mom, she has the answer. And I– I really do, I think that you should ask her for the truth. And I love you. And, um, I’m just doing all this because I just I wanna help you find the answers to the questions that have plagued you.

---

Luna: Bill Spencer doesn’t seem like a craft fair type.

Poppy: All right, fine. It was at a music festival, but decades ago.

RJ: I don’t think it’s a stretch to think they hooked u. Come on, what if– what if Bill Spencer is your father? Luna, think about it. Your mom and Bill, they haven’t forgot each other after years. Maybe it’s time.

Luna: Time? Time for you to ask your mom… if Bill Spencer is your dad.

Luna: Hi. Um, are you busy?

Poppy: No, I’m good. What’s up?

Luna: I, um, I’d– I’d really like to see you.

Poppy: Wow, I’m popular today.

Luna: What?

Poppy: Nothing. Private joke.

Luna: Um, do you think you could– you could come over to Forrester?

Poppy: Is something wrong?

Luna: I don’t know. Maybe something’s right. Um, but only you can tell.

Poppy: I’ll be right there.

---

RJ: Wow. I gotta be honest with you, Bill, I still can’t believe I’m actually going to live here.

Bill: Ridge and Brooke okay with you moving out?

RJ: Yeah. Well… my dad’s not exactly excited that of all people I could be renting from, I’m renting from you. But I talked to him. I told him, you know, this is my life. It’s my money. So, you know, eventually, he– he saw things my way.

Bill: Good. I did consider keeping the place. I mean, even my– my realtor pointed out that, you know, this is tough to beat if you’re looking for a romantic setting.

RJ: Hm.

Bill: So, I’m sure that you and Luna are going to enjoy it.

RJ: Yeah. Uh, also speaking of, uh, I’m sorry about the whole embarrassing encounter the other day with you and Poppy and Luna and me.

Bill: Oh, no, no, no. That was nothing. I mean, it had the potential to be awkward, but it was no big deal.

RJ: Yeah. So, um… you– you and Poppy, you two are seeing each other?

Bill: I’m working on it.

RJ: Well, it must be wild, you know, to rediscover each other after so many years, right?

Bill: I see you know a bit about our history.

RJ: I mean, I just– I just heard about the basics. You met at a music festival, Bay Area, right?

Bill: Yeah. Uh… Uh, Poppy was– was dancing, and she just stopped me cold in my tracks. I mean, she made quite a– a first impression.

RJ: Huh.

Bill: I had to know her.

RJ: Well, what’s it been, Bill, like years, right?

Bill: A bit more.

RJ: Huh. Well, then, you must have made quite an impression on her for her to remember you after that much time, right?

Bill: Well, all I’ll say is that it was a very special night. And what about you and Luna? You seemed very close when I saw you here.

RJ: I– I’m crazy about her.

Bill: I think that Luna’s heart is in good hands.

RJ: And what about Poppy’s?

Bill: I want the very best for her. And, yes, that includes a relationship with me. You know, I’m– I’m… not one to really believe in things being fated, but… in this case, I do think that Poppy and I were– were drawn together for a reason. Both then and now.

---

Poppy: Hey, I got here as fast as I could.

Luna: Oh, um, you didn’t– you didn’t have to rush.

Poppy: Yeah, but you sounded really intense on the phone, like something was going on. My mind was just racing on the way over here. Was it your Aunt Li again? Did something happen between you and RJ?

Luna: No, no, he– he couldn’t be more wonderful or more supportive.

Poppy: I’m so happy you guys found each other.

Luna: Yeah, me too.

Poppy: Well, you know, it wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t courageous enough to follow your dream. I’m so proud of you. It isn’t easy to leave a life that you know and venture out into the world. But you did it. And you made it work. You’re an inspiration.

Luna: I mean, any courage that I have, I got from you. You’ve– you’ve never been afraid to live life on your own terms and be exactly who you are. Whether that person conformed to societal norms or not.

Poppy: Usually not. unapologetic self-acceptance that prompted you to dance at that music festival where you met Bill. It’s what made you so strong and brave enough to have me and embrace your role as a single mother.

Poppy: Well, you and I didn’t need anybody else but each other, hm?

Luna: Well, each other is kind of the only option we had. Um… RJ’s got me thinking about something.

Poppy: Okay.

Luna: It’s about my father.

---

RJ: It’s a nice thought that, you know, Poppy’s in your life for a reason. Any idea, um, why she’s been in your life now, not once but twice?

Bill: That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

RJ: You don’t know?

Bill: Does anyone really know? I– I mean, I have a few thoughts about it.

RJ: Yeah? Yeah, it’s been fun getting to know Poppy ’cause she’s– she’s interesting, right?

Bill: To say the least.

Poppy: Yeah, she’s a really cool mom.

Bill: I told Poppy that of course I want to get to know her better, but that I want to get to know Luna better as well. As I said, she strikes me as a remarkable young woman.

RJ: Yeah. Well, you’re right. She– she is absolutely remarkable. And, uh, the thing with Luna is the more you get to know her, the more, uh, impressed you become with her.

---

Poppy: You asked me here to talk about your father?

Luna: Yeah.

Poppy: Why? What about him?

Luna: Well, you know, whenever I bring him up, you either shut down or change the subject.

Poppy: You’re curious about your father?

Luna: RJ and I have been talking.

Poppy: You discussed this with RJ?

Luna: Yeah.

Poppy: Okay, well, I mean, I guess I’m not surprised. You guys are getting closer all the time. It makes sense that you would open up to him.

Luna: Well, he’s just– He’s been trying to help me sort out all these things that I’m feeling and all these things that I’m thinking. And I just want to be clear that he did not push me into this at all.

Poppy: Push you into what?

Luna: Trying to figure out who my father is. But– but then he started asking questions and started putting the pieces together.

Poppy: Pieces? What kind of pieces?

Luna: When Bill approached us at Il Giardino, he was positive that you two knew each other. And I don’t know what your reaction was about. I don’t know if– if you really didn’t remember him at the time or if you didn’t want to deal with it in that moment, but he remembered you. And he even brought up San Francisco, and he was right. You guys figured out that you two met at the music festival at Golden Gate Park. I mean, isn’t that amazing? You guys spent one night together like– like something years ago, and you guys still remember each other? But that just makes me think the connection you two shared might have been, like, crazy intense, right? And so RJ did the math and… the time that you and Bill met and the age that I am.

Poppy: Luna, what are you saying?

Luna: Look… I really don’t want you to take offense to this, okay? I love you so much, Mom. And I love our bond, and I would– I would not change that for the entire world. I mean, I’m in awe of you. You raised me all by yourself and you somehow made a way to make every single day so much fun. But there’s a piece of my story that’s missing. So, I need to know the truth, so please just… be honest with me. Is it Bill? Is Bill Spencer my father?

[Relaxing music]

Liam: Um, so when do I get to meet this Poppy? Because with the way we’re going, like how you’re talking about her, I feel like I’m in future step-mom territory.

Bill: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, all right. Whoa, now, slow down. I told you we’re not rushing to the altar. I mean, we’ve only had a couple of dates. Uh, but yes, I– I– I want you to meet her.

Liam: Oh, look at you.

Bill: What?

Liam: You’re just– The way– You’re just– You’re smiling like a dope, I swear. I’m just like, “This is my dad now.”

Bill: Yeah, okay. Yes, she makes me, uh, smile. Well, now, now I gotta meet her. Well, you’re– you– you will. I mean, I certainly hope you will. I don’t know why you wouldn’t. I wanna to get closer to Poppy, you know. Hell, I– I wanna learn everything there is to learn about each other’s families.

---

RJ: You’re worried, aren’t you?

Luna: Yeah. I’m second-guessing leaving my mom alone with Aunt Li. I mean, she can be so cruel.

RJ: I mean, your mom can stand up for herself.

Luna: Well, she shouldn’t have to. I mean, this is none of her business, but Aunt Li always finds a way to bully herself into other people’s lives.

RJ: Yeah, like telling you you couldn’t intern here.

Luna: Yes, exactly. And what, now she’s harassing my mom about who she can and can’t date? I mean, my mom doesn’t need her sister’s permission, and she certainly doesn’t have to justify or explain her past with Bill Spencer.

Li: You should be ashamed.

Poppy: Ashamed? Seriously? Because Luna doesn’t know her father? Hey, I did just fine raising her on my own.

Li: No, no, ashamed for all the men you’ve chased. Okay, the one-night stands, the countless guys you’ve duped into sleeping with you.

Poppy: Oh, wait, no, I see. Ashamed of having blood pulsing through my veins, of wanting human connection or sharing intimacy or passion?

Li: Say all the words, pretty words you want to describe your immoral behavior, but Penelope, it doesn’t change who you are or what you’re doing.

Poppy: Okay, well, I don’t know what’s so immoral about two consenting adults finding pleasure in–

Li: Two consenting strangers who will never see each other again. This is not how we were raised, Penelope.

Poppy: Well, you make it sound like I have a different man in my bed every night, which couldn’t be further from the truth. And some, I do see again, by the way. Bill Spencer, for example.

Li: Oh, God, no, I still can’t believe you slept with him back in the day. Of course I can. He’s got the one quality you love the most. Money.

Poppy: Oh, come on.

Li: Nothing will come out of this, Penelope. You hear me? Nothing.

---

Liam: So, uh, does Poppy have, like, a big family? I mean, I know you mentioned the daughter who’s– who’s interning at Forrester Creations. How is– uh, how’s she doing over there?

Bill: What I understand, she’s blowing everybody away. Listen, I’m telling you, Luna is a very impressive young woman.

RJ: Still think it’s pretty wild hearing you say that.

Luna: Say what?

RJL Just that your mom has a past. With Bill Spencer.

Luna: Well, what’s even more wild is that they found each other again, after all these years have gone by.

RJ: Yeah. What’s it been? It’s been, like, years?

Luna: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it goes way back, like, before I was even born.

---

Li: You and Bill Spencer may have had your wild night of passion decades ago, but it’s ancient history.

Poppy: Oh, I don’t know. The way he’s talking to me… Guy’s into me, Li.

Li: He’s Kelly’s grandfather.

Poppy: Oh, I see. Think I’m too young to be dating a grandfather?

Li: No, Penelope, I’m saying he’s off-limits. Besides, he’s way out of your league. Don’t get your hopes up. Nothing good could ever come out of this relationship with Bill Spencer.

---

Poppy: Nothing good will come of Bill and me?

Li: What’s the matter? Did I offend you?

Poppy: You wanna know something?

Li: What?

Poppy: I wish you’d be a little less judgmental.

Li: And I wish you would give me less to be judgmental about. Honestly, being your sister has been exhausting. Always has been.

Poppy: Oh, because growing up in your shadow wasn’t a daily thrill?

Li: Excuse me?

Poppy: Yeah, okay. You have been critical to me ever since I was a little kid and getting angry at me over the silliest thing.

Li: Penelope, it was never about anger! It was always about what I wanted the best for you. I wish you’d take life more seriously. Your studies, have a goal or two. But all you cared about was boys and concerts and partying.

Poppy: I like to have fun. That doesn’t mean I don’t have goals.

Li: No, gold-digging doesn’t count. Listen, I don’t care that you and Bill shared a torrid night of passion years ago. It’s not happening again. I won’t allow you to sleep your way into Kelly’s grandfather’s life.

---

Li: I gotta say, it’s just so cool, you and Poppy reconnecting after all this time.

Bill: It’s very cool. And random. And what are the chances that we’d be in the exact same restaurant at the exact same time?

Liam: Well, I mean, the chances aren’t that low, right? It’s Il Giardino. You go all the time. It’s right down the street from Forrester. Poppy’s daughter works at Forrester. I’m messing with you. It’s totally a fluke and it’s amazing that it happened, and I’m really happy for you.

Bill: Thank you, son. Wow, I mean for somebody who’s not about fate and all that nonsense…

Liam: I know. It’s like–

Bill: Poppy comes back into my world -plus years later.

Liam: Like, this woman just, like, blasts from the past and then all of a sudden, she’s right in front of you again.

Bill: All right. Don’t try to put me in some kind of rom-com.

Liam: I love it. I love it. You deserve your own rom-com, Dad. It’s– Come on. Listen, this, um… This is not an accident that this woman and you have reconnected now.

---

RJ: You were there, right? When your mom and Bill reconnected?

Luna: Yeah, at Il Giardino. He just approached our table.

Bill: He said he, uh… He recognized your mom, but he couldn’t quite place her or something like that?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, understandably. It had been so long. I mean, at first, it seemed like my mom didn’t even know what he was talking about.

RJ: But then… She like suddenly was like, “Oh, it all came back to me,” something like that?

Luna: I mean, I guess so. I’m not quite sure. I mean, my mom didn’t really wanna talk about it. Why? What were you thinking? Tell me what’s going on in that handsome head of yours.

RJ: I don’t know. I just… I just find it interesting. You know, that two people recognized each other after that amount of time, and, I don’t know, they only saw each other for one night at– at a music festival that was, you know, probably pretty dark and loud, and, let’s face it, you know, one or maybe two of them might have been slightly inebriated. I mean, it’s just, I don’t know. Who’d remember somebody after that amount of time? It just makes you wonder if there was something more maybe going on.

Luna: More going on? What– what are you…

RJ: Well, maybe something happened between the two of them all those years ago.

---

Poppy: Li, please know that I’m saying this with the utmost love and respect for you. Butt out.

Li: This is my life you’re messing with.

Poppy: No, it’s my life, and I will date who I want, I will sleep with who I want.

Li: Not when it affects my son’s family. It’s bad enough that Luna’s working at Forrester Creations and dating Steffy’s brother. Oh, what’s the matter, Penelope? Did you get jealous? Felt like you wanted to show her up? Yeah? By finding an even richer man for yourself?

Poppy: All right, that is a horrible thing to say.

Li: Horribly true. Like mother, like daughter. That girl turned out just like you, didn’t she? Making moves on poor, unsuspecting RJ.

Poppy: Well, like you said, Bill isn’t poor, and nor is he unsuspecting.

Li: I’m not letting you worm your way into Finn and Steffy’s life any further. I shudder to think of the damage you’d cause if, God forbid, Bill started bringing you around.

Poppy: Imagine. We could be step-grandmothers together. Although I don’t think I’d go by “Grandma.” I’ll choose something a little more youthful. “Nana,” maybe? “Lola”?

Li: Save it for when Luna has a child. You’re not going near Kelly or Hayes. You may have a past with Bill, but it’s over. Cut your ties. There’s absolutely no reason why you should see or speak to him again.

---

Bill: I am so glad that Poppy has come back into my world. And, yeah, Liam, I guess sometimes life does just happen. Well, I’m glad it’s happening to you, because you deserve it.

Bill: Thank you. And Poppy seems to have a really good one, too.

Liam: A good one what?

Bill: A good life.

Liam: Oh.

Bill: I mean, she seems very relaxed and happy, and she’s got this wonderful daughter. Uh, I don’t think they always had it easy, though. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, I know from my own experience, not growing up with much can really make you driven to succeed.

Liam: And is that something you recognize in Poppy’s daughter? Yeah, she’s very smart, and, well, I’d say she’s tenacious.

Liam: What’s the, um– What’s the deal with the dad? Is he in the picture?

Bill: Never was. Luna doesn’t even know who her father is.

---

Luna: RJ, what are you getting at?

RJ: Well, I’m just saying that, you know, I have a hard time remembering people that I met, like, two weeks ago, let alone two decades ago. And, you know, your mom’s very pretty. I’m sure she made a very big impression on Bill. So, maybe there was more than, you know, just dancing going on that night?

Luna: You think my mom and Bill Spencer… I knew that they had history years ago, but RJ, you think my mom and Bill Spencer hooked up together?

---

Poppy: Thank you. Hello?

Bill: Poppy, it’s– it’s Bill.

Poppy: How are you?

Bill: Um, I’m– I’m great. I was just– I was just thinking about you and talking about you as well.

Poppy: Oh, really?

Bill: To my son, Liam.

Poppy: Does he have a beach house you wanna show me too?

Bill: Well, he actually did at one time, but, you know, that’s another story. I still cannot believe that Luna and RJ almost walked in on us the other night. That was a close call.

Poppy: Don’t remind me. Regardless, I had an amazing time with you. I would like to do it again. And I hope you feel the same way. Something wrong?

Poppy: Not with you. I thoroughly enjoyed our night together. It’s, um… It’s my sister. She’s so judgmental. She called me a gold-digger.

Bill: Well, it actually is funny, because I’m the one pursuing you. It’s not the other way around. When I was talking to my son about you, he got me thinking.

Poppy: About?

Bill: I can’t stop thinking about you. And– and I feel like there are forces at work that– that brought us back into each other’s lives for a reason.

Poppy: Well, I don’t know about forces, but things definitely happen for a reason.

Bill: Yes, exactly. We’ve been given an incredible opportunity. And I hope you won’t let your sister’s rudeness compromise that. I wanna spend more time with you. I wanna get to know you better. I wanna get to know your daughter better. I want you to meet my sons. I mean, Liam is really excited to meet you. Well, he just kept reiterating that we’ve been brought back together for a reason.

Poppy: I think he may be right.

Luna: Oh, that kind of freaks me out, thinking about my mom and Bill Spencer, like… At a concert?

RJ: I’m sorry, I don’t mean to paint that picture inside of your head.

Luna: Well, you did, Michelangelo, and now I can’t get it out of my head. I mean, I don’t think that’s what… There’s no actual way that… Why did you bring this up?

RJ: Well, because, you know, you told me that you don’t know who your father is, and…

Luna: I haven’t needed a father. I just always appreciated my mom raising me.

RJ: No, I know. I totally– I get that, you know? The relationship that you two have is great. It’s you two against the world.

Luna: Yeah. For as long as I can remember.

RJ: But, you know, all that time, it could have been the three of you.

Luna: I mean, it’s not that big of a deal. You know, I never felt bad about myself or felt like I was missing out on anything. If anything, I felt bad for my mom. You know, I often thought about how different her life would be if my dad was in the picture and contributing. I don’t know. Every time I brought him up, she would get, like, super distant and shut down.

RJ: So your mom’s never told you any information about your dad?

Luna: Nope. Just that I was made from love.

RJ: Well, if that’s true, you know, whoever your dad is, it’s got to be someone who’s really special to your mom. It’s got to be someone who made a really big impact on her.

Luna: Yeah. I hope so. I mean, that’s how I found comfort over the years. If you do the math with when Bill and your mom met at this music festival — like, over years ago, and– and the fact that they don’t– you know, they haven’t forgotten each other, you know, it just got me thinking– Look, I don’t wanna sound crazy, okay, I don’t want you to wig out, but with how old you are and how long ago they both met at that music festival, when they were connecting there…

Luna: Oh, my God. Are you saying what I think you’re saying?

RJ: What if it’s true, Luna? What if Bill Spencer is your father?

Eric: That’s enough now.

Donna: Oh, stop. Here’s your napkin.

Katie: And here’s the paper. I got the business section. The funnies are right behind that ’cause I know that laughter is the best medicine.

Eric: Laughter? I thought that was a good stiff martini.

Donna: Oh, boy. Well, I got you some pineapple juice instead. Something you’ve been craving since the hospital.

Eric: Thank you. Yeah. It’s good. Thank you.

Donna: You’re welcome. Although I can’t wait for happy hour.

Katie: Oh… Man, he never stops.

Donna: No, he doesn’t. But that’s also why he’s with us today. You never stopped fighting, did you? Despite all the odds. It’s because I had all that help of yours. Thank you. The two of you by my side. Thank you. You never gave up on me. You are my rock.

Ridge: No doubt about it.

Katie: Oh?

Ridge: Dad’s back better than ever in Donna’s arms.

---

Liam: Wow. So, Wyatt actually did it, huh? He moved out.

Bill: He told you he was thinking about it, right?

Liam: Thinking about it. He said he was thinking about it and we talked about that, but that’s one thing. I didn’t think he’d actually go through with it.

Bill: Well, he– he did. He rented out my place.

Liam: I mean, is… is he gonna stick around L.A. or is he just like headed off to parts unknown?

Bill: I don’t know. I don’t even think he knows. I mean, my preference is that he stays put.

Liam: Well, mine is too ’cause I would– I would miss the hell out of him, but I… And I guess, hey, sometimes you need a new adventure. Not unlike yourself.

Bill: Me?

Liam: Yeah, you. What, is this– is this new woman in your life not a new adventure?

---

Luna: I still can’t believe it.

RJ: Me either.

Luna: I mean, we’re at your new beach house, we think that we’re finally alone, so we’re kissing.

RJ: And then you hear something outside and you look out and who do you see? Your mother.

Luna: My mother. I mean, how crazy is that?

RJ: You think she was spying on us?

Luna: No. My mom would never.

RJ: Yeah, you’re right. It’s not Poppy’s style.

Luna: But she was acting a little bit weird.

RJ: Yeah, she was acting a little weird. Maybe it was because she ran into her daughter and her boyfriend making out.

Luna: No way. No, no. My mom’s not a prude like that.

RJ: Oh, yeah? Well, what if I started kissing you right now and she happened to walk in?

Luna: It’s not gonna happen. Kiss away.

RJ: All right.

Poppy: Oh, sorry. I can come back.

Luna: No, Mom. No. You are not going anywhere until I find out exactly what you and Bill were doing at the beach house.

---

Ridge: It’s an incredible feeling walking through this door knowing you’re gonna be here where you belong.

Brooke: So, how’s he doing?

Katie: Well, between you and me, Eric’s being a bit of a pill.

Ridge: What?

Eric: Yeah, well, this one is insisting that I have pineapple juice and trying to keep me away from the martinis.

Ridge: Okay. Your health comes first.

Eric: Not you too. Look, in spite of the restrictions, I’m very happy to be home With my beautiful Donna.

Bill: Butting into my love life, are you?

Bill: Uh, well, among other things, Poppy and I had our second date yesterday. And wound up here, in fact. Liam: Oh, why’d you bring her here?

Bill: Hello?

Liam: Oh, well, oh, yeah, no. Okay. All right. Sure. Yeah. Uh, how, uh… How did it go?

Bill: Uh, well, it actually got cut short. Through no fault of mine or Poppy’s.

Liam: Dad, I don’t know what that means.

Bill: You’re not supposed to.

Liam: Wow. Okay. Okay. Uh… Are you, um… Are you gonna see her again? ‘Cause you seem a bit fascinated with the lady.

Bill: Uh, I am fascinated. And when you meet her, you’ll understand why.

Poppy: Bill wanted to show me the beach house, and we didn’t realize that RJ had already rented from Bill’s son.

RJ: Yeah. I gotta admit though, it was– it was kind of funny, you know. Us surprising you, you and Bill surprising us.

Luna: Well, you know, what’s surprising, not to mention amazing, is that out of all of the men in Los Angeles, my mom is seeing Bill Spencer.

Li: What? You and Bill Spencer?

---

Liam: I mean, I gotta say that the timing is pretty remarkable, right? years since you had this, uh, this night together, and not only do you remember it this vividly, but Poppy’s now reappeared in your life. I just, I’m just saying it sounds like fate to me or kismet or whatever.

Bill: Yeah, look, I’m not one to really give much to fate and kismet, but I do have to admit it does feel like something… otherworldly has drawn Poppy and me back together.

Liam: Well, listen, just wait, ’cause time will tell if there’s a reason you two found each other again.

---

Li: I want answers, Penelope. I heard you speaking to a man on the phone the other day. You called him Bill. You’re actually seeing Bill Spencer.

RJ: Li, if you want to talk to Steffy, she’s in a meeting right now.

Li: This is far more important.

Luna: Stop it, Aunt Li. This is not the time or place. Please just– just go.

Li: Not until I’ve made something very clear to your mother.

Poppy: It’s okay, Luna. I appreciate your support, but I’d like to talk to my sister alone. It’s fine.

Li: You are without a doubt the most shameless person. Have you no shred of decency?

Poppy: Not according to you.

Li: Bill Spencer, one of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles. You’ve already set your sights on him. did it, Penelope? To find your next sugar daddy?

---

Donna: Okay, don’t you make me cry saying things like that. That’s not fair.

Eric: Like what? Like how beautiful you are? And like how I– I couldn’t have got through any of this without you? And I… I don’t deserve you.

Ridge: You know what Dad asked you to do to keep a secret would have broken most people.

Brooke: But not you. You stayed strong. You knew that’s what he needed.

Katie: Your strength, your support, your love.

Eric: Your love, most of all. Your… standing vigil by my bed every day, every night. Holding my hand, telling me to fight. without you.

Donna: I would never give up on you, Eric, because you are my everything.

Eric: I’m the luckiest man alive to have you by my side.

---

Liam: Listen, I– I– I know that it hasn’t been easy for you and you were trying to reunite with Katie there, and that didn’t really pan out, and yeah, I get it.

Bill: I– I can’t blame her. All the painful history and everything I put her through. I understand why she’s guarded.

Liam: Poppy isn’t, right? I mean, also, I mean, the way it sounds, it’s like no time has been lost at all between the two of you.

Bill: Yeah, more or less. Yeah.

Liam: Well…

Bill: What?

Liam: Well, you may not want to call it fate, but… it’s totally fate.

---

Luna: Can you believe my Aunt Li? Just walking in here and attacking my mom like that?

RJ: I know. I know. She didn’t even let Poppy explain.

Luna: Well, she never does. I mean, my mom could literally never do anything right in her eyes.

RJ: Do you think we should’ve left the two of them alone? Was that smart?

Luna: I don’t know. I mean, my mom insisted.

RJ: Hey, I’m… I’m really sorry that, you know, you have to go through all of this.

Luna: I’m sorry. I’m sorry that my Aunt Li keeps coming in here and embarrassing herself and our family, just lashing out that way.

RJ: Well, I– I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that my family has had one or two or half a billion dozen arguments here at Forrester. It’s– it’s okay. Don’t worry about it.

Luna: What’s not okay is Aunt Li thinking that my mom has to justify her involvement with Bill Spencer.

Poppy: It isn’t what you’re thinking.

Li: Oh, it most certainly is. I know you sister, dear. This is classic Penelope Nozawa.

Poppy: Will you just hear me out?

Li: I don’t have to. I’ve seen this kind of thing happen repeatedly with you.

Poppy: I… Bill and I have a history. It happened years and years ago, and a lot has happened since then, but the night we had was just beautiful. And it’s something that neither of us has ever forgotten. Oh, my God. You slept with the man. You slept with Bill Spencer.

---

Donna: You’re the kindest, sweetest man I know. I mean, to be part of your life, to share in your world, it… There aren’t even words for me to describe how grateful I am for that. And when I thought that, uh, I was gonna lose you… the only thing in this world I wanted more was time. Just another day with you, another night with you. And now we have it. We were given the gift of time. And there’s not gonna be a moment that goes by that I take it for granted because we have each other again. And that’s the only thing in the world that matters to me. Will ever matter.

Katie: Guys, if you keep this up, we’re all gonna be basket cases.

Brooke: Yeah, I’m okay. Just, you know me. I’m just a sucker for this. I mean, listening to everything that they’ve been through the last few months… it’s crazy. It’s also beautiful. So, it proves my point. Love conquers all. The things that Donna said to Eric and what Eric said to her, it’s just… That’s what brought him home. Brought him home to you, to my sister.

---

Luna: I just really feel for my mom. Like, sure, she comes off like she doesn’t have a care in the world, but when I was growing up, things were really hard for her. And this was something that Aunt Li knew about, but instead of being supportive and understanding–

RJ: She’s just judgmental.

Luna: Yeah, and she obviously still is. Why can’t she just love my mom for the way she is?

RJ: The way you do.

Luna: Exactly. And look, I’m not saying that my mom is perfect, but for Aunt Li to call her a gold digger?

RJ: What?

Luna: Yeah. She called her a gold digger, which just could not be further from the truth. My mom has never depended on anyone for anything. She always made a way for herself.

RJ: So why won’t your aunt acknowledge that?

Luna: I don’t know. It does make me smile a little bit though.

RJ: Why?

Luna: Just thinking about how crazy Aunt Li’s gonna get when she realizes how close my mom and Bill actually are and that they have a little history together.

---

Li: I can’t believe it. No. Of course I can believe it. You slept with Bill Spencer.

Poppy: Years ago, Li. Hey, there was just an instant attraction.

Li: Right. So you just jumped in the sack with a man.

Poppy: Okay, what we had was beautiful and special and I won’t let you think otherwise.

Li: What I think is that whenever a rich, good-looking man is involved, you will stoop to anything.

Poppy: Hey, that is not what that was. Not that it’s any of your business.

Li: Listen to me, Penelope. I’m putting you on notice again. Bill Spencer is Kelly’s grandfather. I won’t allow you to sleep your way into that man’s world and into Finn and Steffy’s life! You and your loose morals. “It was special.” Please. One sordid, debaucherous night. No wonder Luna doesn’t know who her father is.

Liam: So, like, now what? Like, where do you go from here?

Bill: Well, we’re not heading to Vegas for a quickie wedding at the Elvis Chapel. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Liam: Uh, yeah, no, that’s not, uh, that’s not what I had in mind, but obviously you two are getting reacquainted.

Bill: You know, Liam, it’s strange, but in ways I feel like I already know everything I need to know about Poppy. She’s just very open and forthcoming person. And I can’t imagine that there is anything she would tell me that would change things between us.

---

Ridge: Well, this is nice. Quite a love fest we’re having here.

Eric: It is, isn’t it? I like it.

Brooke: We’re all so happy you’re home, Eric.

Katie: House hasn’t been the same without you.

Donna: Oh, nothing has been the same without you.

Ridge: I know I haven’t been the same. Do you know what it’s like having to put up a charade like this? For I don’t know how long, you know, pretending that we didn’t know there’s something wrong with you? It’s hard. And the girls are right. It’s amazing having you back. Our patriarch. You lead us in everything. Family, business… So much more to me than just Dad. You’re my best friend. And I love you. And I thought I was gonna lose you.

Eric: Well, you didn’t. And you’re not gonna lose me for a long, long time. I love you, son.

Ridge: I love you so much.

Eric: Fix me a martini, will you?

Donna: Doesn’t give up.

Hope: Yep. Yeah, I just got back from visiting him. can I give you a call back? Yes. Okay, love you too. Bye. Hey, Thomas.

Thomas: Hey, Douglas left his math books. I figured he might need it for homework.

Hope: Great. Thank you.

Thomas: Yeah, I um– I don’t know. It’s– it’s been a second since our discussion the other night. I wanted to check in. It was kind of intense.

Hope: Yes, it was.

Thomas: Look, I know that I said that I’d give you time and I want to respect that. I just– I just wanna make sure you’re okay.

---

Poppy: You rented this place to RJ?

Bill: No, I didn’t rent it to RJ. Wyatt rented it to RJ.

Poppy: God. God, so I was right? The voice I heard, that was Luna. So, we’re in here in the bedroom and my daughter is out there in the living room.

Bill: Mm-hmm.

---

Luna: Mm. Did you hear that?

RJ: Hear what?

Luna: I don’t know. It sounds like someone’s in the house?

RJ: It’s probably just someone down by the beach.

Luna: No, I could have sworn that it was coming from the bedroom. There’s no way that anyone would be here, right? In one of the bedrooms?

RJ: No, no. What? Wyatt gave me the keys. I’m– I’m the one and only tenant. I mean, hey, if you wanted to, we could check the bedroom. You know, just to make sure. We haven’t really finished the tour yet.

Luna: No, you’re right. I’m sorry, I’ll stop being so jumpy.

RJ: No, hey, it’s fine. We have had our fair share of interruptions for the past couple of days. We’re good at it. No, but I– I completely– I get it. I understand. Nobody is going to interrupt us. No one’s gonna walk in on us. We have complete privacy here. Okay?

---

Hope: I was um, actually just telling my mom about my visit with Eric.

Thomas: Oh, yeah, Steffy and I were over there with Dad and your mom.

Hope: I’m just happy that uh, Eric is finally home.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah, we were worried that we might not see him outside of a hospital bed again. And thankfully, uh, he’s kind of back to his old self. I mean, he’s– he’s weak, but he’s making jokes, getting everybody to laugh.

Hope: Oh, that Eric. He is an inspiration for us all. And his recovery is nothing short of a miracle.

Thomas: It really is a miracle. It’s just like the miracle of after all the bad choices I made, you somehow still open your heart to me.

---

Poppy: Here, put your shirt on, Bill.

Bill: Poppy, we’re good. They’re in the living room.

Poppy: Yes, but they can come in here any second and I don’t want my daughter seeing me like this.

Bill: Like what? All hot and sexy and grr.

Poppy: Here.

Bill: You know what? This is my house, all right? I’m doing some home maintenance.

Poppy: Yeah, right. You maintenance?

Bill: All right. Well, that’s a fair point. Although, I am pretty good with my hands.

Poppy: Well, then use them to help me with these buttons.

Bill: Only if you promise you unbutton them again later.

Poppy: You’re too much. Okay. How do we get outta here?

Bill: Well, let’s see. How about, uh, the door?

Bill: RJ and Luna will never know we were here.

Poppy: Thank you, Bill.

Bill: You’re welcome. Follow me.

---

Luna: Mom?

Hope: Thomas, we don’t need to get into all that right now.

Thomas: Yeah, no. I– I didn’t– Sorry, I didn’t mean to bring it up.

Hope: No, it’s just, I– I think today has been a really positive day. What with Eric finally getting out of the hospital and I’d just rather bask in that instead of dredging up all the other stuff.

Thomas: Yeah, I know. I’m sorry. We don’t have to ever discuss it again. Um, those mistakes from the past. They live inside of me, so I continue to learn from them, but I want nothing more than to move on from it all, together. And I miss you, Hope. I miss you very much.

---

RJ: Oh, my God. She is.

Luna: Mom, Mom. What are you doing here? And where are you coming from?

Bill: Oh, um, we were just hiking around outside a little bit. Uh, I was giving your mom kind of a tour of the place. I wanted to have a real sense of it before Wyatt leased it out and little did I know, he had already rented it to you.

RJ: Yeah. Yeah, he gave me the keys earlier today.

Bill: Right. You know, that’s– that’s my fault. I hadn’t checked my text messages until just now. so I– I had no idea that you’d already moved in.

RJ: No, it’s on– it’s on me. I just– I wanted to show Luna the place. I knew she was gonna love it.

Bill: Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, what’s not to love? It’s uh, it’s very magical. And a hell of a– of a shore break. I’m sure you’re gonna be very happy here, RJ.

RJ: Yeah. Yeah, me too.

Bill: Well, um, don’t let us interrupt you.

Poppy: Yeah, we’re– we’re really sorry. Um, we just thought it would be fun to see the beach house. And you know what? This is a great location. Like, the view is just stunning.

RJ: Yeah, no, it’s– it’s cool, it’s cool. We were– Luna and I were just getting settled in.

Bill: Enjoy the beach, and RJ…

RJ: Yeah.

Bill: Be good to this one. Luna is very special.

Luna: Oh, thank you, Bill. That’s very sweet of you to say.

RJ: Yeah, I couldn’t agree with you more. She is a– She’s a very, incredibly special girl. I’ll be spending a lot of time with you. But, uh, not today because you are right. You do own the place and I haven’t officially signed the lease yet. So we will be back another time, sir.

Bill: Oh, no, no, no. You don’t have to run off on my account.

Luna: No, really, really. It’s fine. And you and I will talk later, okay?

Poppy: Well, that was awkward. Stop laughing. It’s not funny.

Bill: It’s a little funny.

Poppy: It is not funny. It’s not funny.

Bill: And just like that, we’ve got the place all to ourselves.

Poppy: I can’t believe that just happened.

Bill: I don’t know who was more embarrassed, you or your daughter.

Poppy: We were both mortified. Do you think they knew that we were inside?

Bill: Absolutely. No, I’m– I’m teasing you. They didn’t have a clue.

Poppy: I don’t know.

Bill: What difference would it make anyway? Would it be so terrible if your daughter knew that you were having a good time?

Poppy: Yes, I should be setting a good example for my daughter, okay? We’ve only had two dates.

Bill: Uh, three dates, if you count -plus years ago.

Poppy: Technically, does that count as a date? I mean, we just happened to meet and–

Bill: Yeah, and spend many, many, many hours together. And, well, you might say it was, uh, life changing. At least for me.

Poppy: It was a night I could never forget. But you hear what I’m saying.

Bill: Yeah, no. Yes, of course. I mean, you know, you’re a quality parent and you want to set a good example for your daughter.

Poppy: I mean, not that Luna would be judgmental in any way and she’s obviously very fond of you.

Bill: Well, the feeling is mutual and you raised quite a daughter. And that’s a real tribute to you doing it all on your own. Luna has– has many wonderful qualities. She is– Look, she is who she is because of you.

---

Luna: Bill and my mom totally saw us kissing.

RJ: I don’t know. I mean, did– did we get busted?

Luna: Yes, the blinds were wide open and they were right by the window. Besides, I could tell by the way my mom was acting so weird.

RJ: Yeah. You know, Bill was definitely doing a lot of talking and she wasn’t saying much.

Luna: Yeah, she was way too quiet. What were they even doing there? What, Bill just so happened to be showing her the house?

RJ: They, uh, seemed just as surprised as we were, I guess.

Luna: I mean, I’m sure my mom felt horrible and didn’t want to intrude.

RJ: That was nuts.

Luna: We finally had a place to ourselves, RJ. An entire house and guess who shows up out of the blue? My mother, my mother!

RJ: It was– it was kind of hilarious though.

Luna: No, it’s not funny.

RJ: No, you should’ve– Okay, you should have seen the expression on your face. You were just sitting there and you were like…

Luna: I did not look like that.

RJ: Yes, you did, yes you– Actually, it was even worse… She turned and you were just like, oh!

Luna: Oh, my God. All we wanted was some time alone together.

RJ: We did, we did and we are O for three.

Luna: We just can’t seem to catch a break.

---

Hope: What you told me was… shocking, to say the least. And, um, I’m still trying to process all of that.

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: But it’s also not just about you. These past few weeks, they, um– Have brought up a lot of pain for me. That time in my life that I have tried to move past. Those painful memories. Um, not having my daughter. All the things that were done to try to keep her away from me. Uh, yeah, that is a part of my story and Thomas, I can’t just pretend like it didn’t happen. But I also don’t want to be ruled by my past. I mean, look at my life. I have so much to be grateful for. I have a beautiful daughter and our amazing son. And I just am trying to focus on them. Focus on– on happiness, on myself and– and what is best for– for all of us. And that is, uh, why I asked for a little more time.

Thomas: Sure. Yeah.

Hope: But I– I don’t want you to think that I– That I’ve stopped caring for you because actually, um, uh, my mother was here the other day after you left and I actually told her that she needs to stop fighting our relationship.

Thomas: You did?

Hope: Yes, I did.

Thomas: Well, you have no idea how happy that makes me. How beautiful it is that you still believe in me.

---

Poppy: Today did not work out as planned, did it?

Bill: We could pick up where we left off. I will have those locks changed but quick.

Poppy: I think this place belongs to RJ now, at least until his lease is up.

Bill: Yeah. Lucky kid. Well, I’m– I’m glad that Luna will be spending more time here.

Poppy: Yeah, me too. I mean, this really is a magical place and Luna and RJ, they really are so sweet together. And look what we did. We ruined their little date.

Bill: What are you talking about? They ruined our little date.

Poppy: It’s true. Do you think Luna will ever let me live this down?

Bill: It could have been a lot worse. She could have walked in on a bit of action.

Poppy: Don’t even put that out there.

Bill: I don’t think they’re gonna be back, you know? We could just pick up where we left off.

Poppy: Seeing my daughter kind of killed the mood. I like this.

Bill: I meant what I said earlier. You’re a remarkable woman. And I look forward to many, many, many more dates together. And getting to know Luna better as well.

Luna: I feel like we might be cursed.

RJ: We might be. We definitely have some bad luck when it comes to being alone.

Luna: Yeah, I just keep expecting someone to walk in on us. Between here and your mom’s place?

RJ: I know. I know. I just want to kiss you so bad.

Luna: Yeah, but as soon as our lips get within three inches of each other…

RJ: I know, bam door opens every single time.

Luna: I know, I wonder who it will be next time. Whatever. I just say we go for it.

RJ: Yeah?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, it’s risky, but it’s worth it.

RJ: Do you think it’s safe?

---

RJ: Do you think it’s safe?

---

Hope: I mean, I haven’t forgotten. Everything we’ve shared, so many wonderful times.

Thomas: Together, we can do anything. Okay. Beautiful. You’ve blown me away with your big heart. Your generosity and forgiving spirit. It’s just amazing to me. And you still have that ring on your necklace. Know what that means to me? Hope. Hope for us. Hope for our future because of your forgiveness, because of your generosity. You’ve gotten me to a place where I feel like I’m maybe actually worthy of you, worthy of your love. And Hope, I love you so much. And I miss you. I miss touching you. I miss holding you. I miss kissing you.

[Romantic Music]

Poppy: What about your son, Wyatt?

Bill: Don’t worry about Wyatt. Wyatt’s gone.

Poppy: He’s not coming back?

Bill: Wyatt is gone. We’re alone. All alone.

---

Luna: RJ, that view. The ocean’s right there.

RJ: Yeah, well, you know, the view from the inside is pretty breathtaking too.

Luna: So, this is really your place now?

RJ: Yeah, it is. But it’s also yours because it’s where I want to spend a lot of time with you. Where we can finally have a little bit of privacy. have a little bit of privacy.

---

Li: I heard the wonderful news. Eric was discharged.

Finn: Yes, Steffy and Thomas were just at the house with their grandfather.

Li: And here’s my humble son hard at work. Saving more lives the way you saved Eric’s.

---

Thomas: Yeah, Granddad looks great. Not 100% obviously, but great.

Steffy: I wish we could have stayed longer.

Thomas: Next time.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. Next time.

Thomas: Hey, he’s Okay.

Steffy: I just still can’t believe it. I mean, he’s alive. He’s actually home.

Thomas: Thanks to your husband. Look, I know Finn and I have had our issues, but what he did finding that treatment, taking that risk? He saved Granddad’s life

---

Thomas: It is so awesome. The energy out there. Everyone’s so excited. They want to talk about Granddad.

Steffy: I know. There’s so many messages congratulating Granddad. And just to see his face, he’s just so thrilled to be home.

Thomas: Yes, he does need rest though, because he’s not %.

Steffy: Yeah. No, I– I– I get that. But where he was and now he’s like this. This is a big day for our family, for Granddad. And we really need to be celebrating Finn too.

Finn: Eric’s recovery was a team effort.

Li: Well, but there’s one person who deserves a lot of the credit.

Finn: No, you’re right. None of this would have been possible without Eric’s hard work to recover.

Li: You can downplay your role as much as you want, but as a doctor, I know how serious Eric’s condition was. The lengths you went to save him. Honey, what you achieved was extraordinary.

Finn: He’s one of the most important people in Steffy’s life. I had to do everything I could.

Li: I’m so proud of you, son.

Finn: Thanks, Mom. That– Your support means a lot. But you know who else could use some of that? Luna and Aunt Poppy.

---

Luna: Wait, did you hear that?

RJ: Hear what? I don’t hear it. It’s probably just the ocean.

Luna: Uh, I’m sorry, I’m just a little jumpy. It’s just– I’ve never been here before and it kind of feels like I’m in someone else’s house.

Thomas: What? No, you’re not. This is my place. Maybe how if I show you around, maybe you’ll be a little more comfortable? Yeah? Come on.

---

Steffy: I will definitely pass that on to him. Thank you for getting in touch, Manuel. Okay, you too. Bye.

Thomas: Well wishes for Granddad? Yes. And many thanks to my husband.

Thomas: That’s very well deserved.

Steffy: It is, but if you ask Finn, he’ll just tell you he was doing his job.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, he can say that, but the reality is– is Granddad saw other doctors. None of them gave him a reason to hope.

Steffy: Because the treatment was experimental. Attempting it on a patient like Granddad, at his age? I mean, it was really risky, but Finn said it was worth a shot.

Thomas: Finn’s a stubborn guy and I’m very grateful for it.

Steffy: He is, but he also is very determined. Ah, this is just, it’s amazing. It really is. And it’s such a relief knowing that Granddad’s home and he’s recovering.

Thomas: Yeah. Speaking of people that are determined and stubborn, I know a guy who’s going to be very well soon. I mean, Granddad is– is extremely stubborn and he’s gonna keep pushing ’til he’s right as rain.

Steffy: Yeah, but he is the glue that holds our family together.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Look, Finn doesn’t want to take credit for any of this, but he knows the gift that he’s given us. I mean, it was awful knowing that we were losing Granddad. I couldn’t imagine our life without him. But now, thanks to Finn, we have a future with Granddad.

Li: I don’t understand why you feel the need to advocate for your aunt?

Finn: What? So you– you just don’t want a better relationship with your sister? Aunt Poppy is so sweet.

Li: Sweet?

Finn: Yes.

Li: Your aunt only pretends to be sweet, helpless and innocent. She’s perfected it to survive. All so she can fall into the arms of another rich, handsome man.

---

---

RJ: And back to the living room, my dear. Watch your step. Be careful. Uh, I don’t know about you, but I see a lot of nights in our future by that fire pit, you know?

Luna: I just can’t believe that Wyatt wanted to leave this place.

RJ: Right. I know. No, I, uh, I think there’s gonna be a lot of amazing and surprising things that happen here. Starting tonight?

Luna: Hm. We’re finally alone.

RJ: We are finally alone. There’s nobody here to interrupt us.

Luna: Well, there’s still one room you haven’t shown me.

RJ: Oh, yeah.

---

---

Steffy: I had so much faith in Finn and it didn’t make it easy for Dad, but–

Thomas: Yeah, but you trusted your instincts. I’m glad you did and– and I’m glad Dad did too.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I really tried to convince dad to give Finn’s treatment a chance.

Thomas: But he did. And it’s incredible. I mean, look, I– I don’t always appreciate your opinions, especially when they have to do with my personal life, but, you can be pretty persuasive.

Steffy: I’m gonna remember you said that.

Thomas: Okay.

Steffy: Okay, I’m gonna go see Finn.

Thomas: Before you do, um… Look Finn and I have had a lot of issues recently, but, um, please tell him just how grateful I am for what he did for Granddad.

Steffy: I will, Thomas.

Thomas: Thanks.

Steffy: He was just trying to help. It’s really the reason for everything he does. For our family, for his patients. He just wants to try to make a difference. It’s one of the many things I love about him.

Thomas: Bye.

Steffy: Bye.

Finn: I just– I just don’t think you’re being fair, Mom.

Li: I’m being protective. You, of all people should appreciate that. I’m looking out for my family.

Finn: You’re punishing Aunt Poppy for something that she did years ago.

Li: No, I– I know my sister. The choices she makes, how she behaves. What she’s capable of.

Finn: Okay, but what does that have to do with who she is today? Huh? Because I’ve been spending time with Luna and she says nothing but wonderful things.

Li: Oh, well, thank God for that. At least your aunt had the decency to keep her bad decisions and unsavory appetites away from her child.

Finn: Appetites? Geez, seriously?

Li: Let’s just say my sister very much likes the intimate company of men. Especially older, wealthy men. I don’t like talking about it, but you need to know. She will never change. I put my sister on notice. I told her not to go hunting for a sugar daddy in Los Angeles. I won’t allow her to bring shame on our family again. I want her gone, away from us before she sets her sights on her next conquest.

Poppy: Look at you.

Bill: Me? No. No, no, no. Look at you. I can’t believe that I’m holding you in my arms all these years later. I keep thinking about the music festival and the magic that we made that night. And more and more, I’m feeling like this isn’t random. You came back into my life for a reason.

---

RJ: What is it? Do you not want to?

Luna: No, I do. I’ve been looking forward to a night like this just as much as you have. Just– Something feels off. Like– like I shouldn’t be here.

---

Bill: What? Did I do something?

Poppy: Sh.

Bill: What do you mean, sh?

Poppy: I mean, sh. I heard voices in the other room. I think it’s my daughter.

Bill: What?

---

Bill: Your daughter is out there?

Poppy: I think I heard her voice.

Bill: What?

Poppy: You said your son Wyatt rented this place to somebody.

Bill: What? You think he rented it to Luna? I don’t know what they’re paying interns at Forrester, but that is highly unlikely.

Poppy: No, she can’t possibly afford a place like this.

Bill: Poppy, your daughter is not out there.

Poppy: Then, why are you whispering?

Bill: Because you’re whispering! You know what? I’m gonna go check.

Poppy: Wait, wait. Wait, not like that.

Bill: All right. I’m gonna text Wyatt. Find out who we leased the place to. And will that put your mind at ease?

---

Luna: I want to be alone with you, RJ.

RJ: Well, we are alone, right? Yes, I know, but… something feels off, okay? I just– I can’t shake the feeling that we’re not supposed to be here.

RJ: We are supposed to be here, okay? This is– this is for us. Wyatt’s not coming back. No one’s gonna barge in on us. It’s just the two of us.

Luna: Okay.

RJ: Okay.

---

Bill: Ah.

Poppy: What is it?

Bill: Wyatt texted me back.

Poppy: You’re whispering.

Bill: Well, you better whisper too.

Poppy: Why? Who did Wyatt rent the beach house to?

Bill: RJ. Forrester Junior.

Poppy: My daughter’s boyfriend?

Bill: Wyatt already gave him the keys.

Poppy: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. So, I was right. Luna’s here.

Bill: Well, someone’s here.

---

Finn: If you keep this up, I’m not gonna get any work done.

Steffy: It’s all part of my plan.

Finn: Hm. I’ll always make time for my gorgeous wife. You went to the house to see Eric?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah. He looks good considering.

Finn: Yeah, just remember, you know, it’s gonna take some time. Recovery is a process. There’s a lot of milestones to hit, but getting discharged is the big one.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: It’s just a miracle getting him out of the hospital. He’s home now. I just think about all the times we’ve celebrated so many events and so many memories and then the last time we were there, we were saying our goodbyes. But today, today we were, uh, we were together and it just felt so good. It was really nice.

Finn: I mean, Eric fought like hell to make that happen. So did you, hm? You and your entire family. I mean, all your prayers and the support for Eric and for each other. That’s what pulled him through.

Steffy: Well, I– I’m not discounting any of that. We did everything we could, but Finn, come on, it was you. It was.

Finn: Eric had a whole team.

Steffy: No, it was you, Finn. You saved him. Just like you saved me all those years ago.

Finn: Steffy?

Steffy: The moment we first met in the hospital, you transformed me. I wanted to thank you for taking care of me. You changed my life. And our family Just the way you love me. And you never gave up.

Finn: I am here for the long haul. Steffy Forrester, will you be my wife?

Steffy: And you proved to me that nothing is impossible. Finn? How? How? Oh, my God. I am so grateful for you. For our life together and now that we’re raising these incredible children, I’m just really excited for what lies ahead.

Finn: Hey, honey, we changed each other And I want you in my life. Always. You are stuck with me forever.

Eric: Now, Ridge, I, uh… it’s really important for me to have you understand.

Ridge: I do understand, Dad. I do. I understand what I took from you. You said you were at peace.

Eric: I was at peace. I– I– I found contentment and-and-and-and… unconditional love. That’s what– That’s what I saw there.

Ridge: And you saw Mom. You said Mom was waiting for you.

Eric: Yeah, she was. Wonderful, impossible Stephanie, she was there.

Ridge: So let me ask you one more time. Did I let you down? Did you want to stay?

---

Poppy: Be honest. You didn’t think I’d take you up on your dare, did you? Getting up and dancing in front of everyone?

Bill: Well, I am not one who is easily surprised, but that…

Poppy: Did I embarrass you?

Bill: Do I look embarrassed? you seemed to enjoy it.

Bill: Well, that’s because I did enjoy it, very much. I love that side of you.

Poppy: My uninhibited side?

Bill: That’s the one.

Poppy: Well, then maybe you should try it.

Bill: What? What that? Oh, no, no, no. My disco Saturday night days are well behind me.

Poppy: No, impetuous side. Exactly. Dare you.

Bill: All right, let me tell you something, okay? If I– if I did, we’d have to clear this whole place out ’cause I would take over the floor. Although, that might not be a bad thing.

Poppy: Because?

Bill: ‘Cause then I would have you all to myself. I wouldn’t have to share you with anyone.

---

Luna: Here, let me help.

RJ: Oh, thank you.

Luna: Good workout?

RJ: Yeah, sure.

Luna: You really need to get a place of your own.

RJ: I have some good news. Actually, I have a lot of good news. Granddad is getting out of the hospital today.

Luna: Really?

RJ: Yeah.

Luna: That’s amazing. I’m so happy for Eric and for all of you.

RJ: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My-My dad’s, uh, getting him settled in right now. Which is what I’m gonna be doing soon. Getting settled in because I found a place. It’s a beach house. It’s really close to my sister Steffy’s place, and I think you’re gonna love it.

Luna: Wow, that’s– Oh, my God, that’s– that’s amazing. When do you move in?

RJ: Um, today.

Luna: Today?

---

Luna: I know you said you wanted to find your own place, but I had no idea you were actually working on one. And at the beach?

RJ: Yeah. Well, you know, I just had to make sure it actually happened before I told you.

Luna: Well, how did it happen so quickly?

RJ: Mm… That’s a good question. Um… Well, let’s just say I was uh, motivated.

Luna: Oh, yeah?

RJ: Yeah. You know, every time I look at you, I see you, kiss you… I just get even more determined.

Wyatt: This must be the girlfriend. If not, you’re in big trouble.

RJ: It is. It is the girlfriend. This is Luna. Luna, meet Wyatt. Wyatt, Luna.

Wyatt: Nice to meet you.

Luna: You too.

Wyatt: Uh, sorry about the timing.

RJ: No. No, it’s fine. We’re, uh, we’re actually really, really talented at getting interrupted. It happens all the time. But in this case, it’s really welcome, you know, uh, because Wyatt is the one who owns the beach house.

Luna: Oh.

RJ: Yeah.

Wyatt: Oh, speaking of which, here you go.

RJ: Oh!

Wyatt: You might wanna make another one if you’re gonna have any guests.

---

Poppy: Come on, dance with me. I promise you’ll have fun, okay? Just– just live in the moment and let whatever happens just happen.

Bill: Like I did that night? That magical night for both of us. I have a better idea. I mean, this has been fun, but I want to be alone with you, Poppy. And then we can dance or whatever all night long.

---

Ridge: I was torn, Dad. I knew what Finn wanted to do. I– I– I knew what they wanted. I knew what you wanted. And I knew what I wanted. I didn’t want to say goodbye to you. Wasn’t ready.

Eric: It’s okay, son. I understand.

---

Wyatt: Confession?

RJ: Okay.

Wyatt: I mean, it ain’t gonna be easy moving out of the beach house. I got a lot of special memories there.

RJ: Well, hey, you know, you’re– you’re always gonna be welcome to, like, stop by.

Wyatt: Thank you. I appreciate it. Just call ahead first, right?

RJ: Yes. Please.

Wyatt: Uh, Anyway, you– you have everything you need, right? Uh, you got the key.

RJ: Yep, check, got the key.

Wyatt: Uh, you’re renting it fully furnished, so all you need are your clothes, toothbrush, trunks, surfboards. I’m taking mine with me.

RJ: Aw…

Luna: Do you have any idea where you’re gonna go?

Wyatt: I’m not sure. I uh, dunno, maybe hang around LA, spread my wings. I don’t know. See what’s out there in this big wide world for yours truly.

RJ: Wyatt, dude, wherever you land, you’re absolutely gonna make the most of it.

Wyatt: I intend to. Um, just like you guys should, you know, at the beach house, make some amazing memories together.

---

Poppy: Aren’t you gonna get that?

Bill: What?

Poppy: Your phone. It’s vibrating.

Bill: I hadn’t noticed. Too distracted.

Poppy: I didn’t realize I had that effect on you.

Bill: From the day I first laid eyes on you.

Poppy: That seems like a lifetime ago.

Bill: Well, in some ways it is. But like I told you, from the day you walked in this restaurant, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you. I haven’t forgotten, Poppy and I know you haven’t forgotten either. I think we need to do something about that.

Poppy: What did you have in mind?

Bill: It’s a surprise. Come with me.

---

Eric: Ridge, I don’t want to hear another word about whether you let me down or not. I’m a blessed man. I went to the other side, and I saw how beautiful it is there, how wondrous and there’s nothing– nothing to worry about. Nothing at all. But as wonderful as it is there, I am so happy to be back here with all of you, So happy. Don’t doubt that. Never doubt that.

Zende: It’s true! You’re here.

Donna: Slow down.

Zende: Okay, okay, okay. Oh, my God, Granddad, seeing you here, out of that hospital bed, back where you belong… is what we’ve all been praying for.

---

Zende: It truly is a miracle. I never stopped hoping, I never stopped believing, despite the odds, despite everything. How do you feel? You look great.

Eric: I feel really good. Thank you. I’m ready to go back to work.

Donna: What? No.

Zende: You gotta take it easy.

Eric: All right, all right. I’ll rest. I’ll rest for a while until I’m ready, okay? Yeah, my wonderful grandson. So talented. You look pretty good too, yeah? Thank you. I appreciate so much you coming to the hospital and visiting me. It really, uh… it lifted my spirits.

Zende: Next to my dad, you’re the man I admire most. Don’t ever leave me– us– again, okay?

Eric: Okay. Okay.

---

Luna: Sometimes I feel like I need to pinch myself.

RJ: Why?

Luna: This. Being here at Forrester with you. Talking about a house in Malibu. This is just so not what I’m used to.

RJ: Well, how do you mean?

Luna: Well, my upbringing. It’s so different from yours, you know? My mom raised me solo. She was like this strong-willed but peaceful, spiritual merchant who would set up, like, her little stands and sell her tie-dyed, handmade shirts. Or sometimes she’d just get like regular old shirts and make them super cool. Um, but yeah, she worked at, like, farmers’ markets and festivals and things like that. It was definitely down to earth. But I never felt poor though. You know, like we always had each other and we lived a really good life.

RJ: Sounds amazing. My mom is amazing. She’s so free spirited and independent, and she’s also a ballerina and a singer too. Yeah, but me, I was always a little more on the serious side.

RJ: Hmm. But not Poppy?

Luna: No, definitely not Poppy. I was always in awe of her. I love the way she lived her life and the way she loved so openly and freely with no excuses or apologies.

RJ: Well, there’s something to be said for that, you know.

Luna: But when it comes to relationships, let’s just say that I’m glad that I waited for the right guy.

RJ: I’m glad you did too. So, um, if you’re free or whatever, uh, would you like to check out the new place?

Luna: Yes. Let’s go.

RJ: Let’s go.

---

Bill: You like it?

Poppy: God, it’s amazing. And just steps away from the Pacific? Is this where you live?

Bill: Uh it’s one of my properties. My son Wyatt has been living here for quite a while, but… I don’t know, he’s going through something and he feels like he needs a change.

Poppy: So he’s moving out.

Bill: Yeah. I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with the place. Can I pour you one?

Poppy: No, thanks. I’m not really a drinker.

Bill: Ah, your– your special mints.

Poppy: These are not just any mints.

Bill: Yeah? Well, I’m gonna stick with scotch.

Poppy: You know, I have to say, I mean, if this was my place, like, there’s no way I could ever sell it. It’s so– it’s so magical.

Bill: It is.

Bill: Wyatt said he already found a renter, but, I don’t know. I have to figure out what to do long term. Maybe I’ll keep it. Use it to romance a beautiful woman.

Bill: You know, when I– when I close my eyes, I can– I can still see you dancing in front of that bonfire at Golden Gate Park.

Poppy: All those years ago.

Bill: You were like no woman I’d ever known, before or since

Poppy: I feel like this is leading somewhere.

Bill: I hope to the bedroom. Am I coming on too strong?

Poppy: No, it isn’t that. It’s just–

Bill: What?

Poppy: All right, this is gonna sound crazy, but my sister Li, she’s like super judgmental of me and she says I’m always coming on to wealthy men. And it would be really easy to fall into your arms, Bill. But my sister’s wrong. I don’t need a man.

Bill: I know you don’t need me, but I sense that you want me. Just like I want you.

Poppy: This way?

Bill: Yeah.

---

RJ: You ready?

Luna: Mm-hmm.

RJ: Here it is.

Luna: Oh, my God, RJ, I– this is, I can’t even–

RJ: It’s amazing, right?

Luna: It’s so awesome! Oh, my God.

RJ: I’m glad you like it. I hope we’re gonna be spending a lot of time here.

---

Ridge: Well, that was Steffy. She and her family want to stop by, if that’s okay with you, now that you’re settled in.

Eric: That’s great. I can’t wait to see them.

Brooke: And they want to see you too.

Donna: Of course, of course, we just didn’t want to overwhelm you, over tire you.

Eric: That’s all right. I’m not tired. Just being here is so energizing, I– I’m so happy to be here. It makes me feel great. You know, when I started feeling sick and then– and I didn’t want anyone to know, we had to keep it a secret and I was adamant about it. I didn’t want any– any pity or, uh, any concern from anybody. And I insisted on that. And I insisted on the– on the fashion challenge and– and on this goodbye party. I should have… I’m sorry, I should’ve let everybody in.

Zende: We understand why you didn’t, Granddad. It was your way of trying to spare us.

Eric: If I had known then what I know now, I mean, what I’ve seen and what I know about what’s coming to all of us when we pass away. It’s so beautiful, it’s so safe. Nothing to fear. And that– that’s– that’s the beauty of it It leaves us free to– to live our lives the way we want to.

Brooke: And cherish every second that we have together.

Eric: None of us knows how many days we have left, how many years. So we have to make the most of the time we have left.

Donna: That’s right. Actually, that’s what we all should be doing.

Zende: Will be doing.

Hope: Yeah.

Zende: Thanks to you, Granddad. Everything you’ve been through.

Ridge: You’re an inspiration. I love you.

Brooke: We all do.

Dona: So, so very much.

Eric: I love all of you, so much.

Donna: Here you go. It’s finally happening.

Nurse: We’ll miss you around here.

Eric: Been nothing but trouble for you since I’ve been here.

Nurse: Good trouble.

Eric: Thank you. Thank you for all your attentiveness and taking such good care of me. Thank you. And you, doctor. It wasn’t for you, this wouldn’t be happening, so I– I don’t know how to thank you. I– I can’t thank you enough.

Donna: I second that.

---

Ridge: If you’d told me a few weeks ago that we’d be here waiting for Dad to come home… I don’t know. I thought it was the end.

Brooke: So thankful it wasn’t Just so happy he’s gonna come home from the hospital. Just think what would have happened if you told Finn not to go through with that procedure.

Ridge: I hope he understands why I did what I did.

---

Sheila: And I’m gonna need two sidecars for table six, when you can do it, please.

Deacon: You know, I think I’m regretting giving Hollis the day off. I didn’t expect it to be this crowded.

Sheila: It’s become the norm lately. I– It’s understandable. It’s the best pizza in town.

Deacon: Best waitress in town too. That’s what keeps them coming back.

Sheila: Are you flirting?

Deacon: I could be.

Sheila: Are you flirting with me? That might get you lucky later. But what about the people that stopped coming because of me?

Deacon: I don’t want you worrying about that now, right? We’re doing just fine. Fantastic. I can’t get Brooke or Hope to come down here and this guy, it’s like three meals a day.

Sheila: You better go wait on your favorite customer, honey.

Deacon: Welcome back. So, a table for two?

Bill: Please.

Deacon: You’re in luck. We have one right here. And we happen to have a very special mushroom risotto. Best of all the lovely, charming Sheila will be your server. Here you go.

Bill: Interesting. When you said luck, I thought you meant the good kind.

---

Bill: I’m glad you agreed to see me again. The truth is, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you.

Poppy: A memory of the night we spent together all those years ago.

Bill: Yes, that. And the new memories that I’m hoping to make.

Sheila: Why’d you put them in my section? What? Did you do this on purpose? You thought it would be funny?

Deacon: I thought you could have a little fun with him. Hey, who knows? Maybe we’ll get lucky. We’ll get a crying toddler that comes in and we can seat him next to their table. Better yet, better yet, Tell Bill every time he uses his credit card that it’s declined.

Sheila: You know, he’s gonna pay with hundreds.

Deacon: That’s why they call him–

Both: Dollar Bill.

Sheila: Yeah, here goes. Hello. Hello. Bill, welcome back to Il Giardino. Uh, I don’t– I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of meeting your new friend.

Poppy: I’m Poppy.

Sheila: Hi, Poppy, I’m Sheila. I’ll be your server. Can I start you with a drink?

Poppy: Uh, I’d love a still water.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: If you don’t know my drink order by now, you’re an even worse waitress than I thought.

Sheila: Oh, no, I’ve got your number. Uh, would you like to know the specials?

Bill: No.

Sheila: Very well. I’ll get those drinks right up.

Bill: Just so you understand, I’m not normally rude to waitresses.

Poppy: Okay.

Bill: In fact, quite the opposite.

Poppy: So, this Sheila person…

Bill: Is the same Sheila who tried to kill your sister.

---

Ridge: He wanted to go. And I took that away from him.

Brooke: Are you serious? Eric is so happy to be alive. Ridge, he loves you. He loves his entire family. His work. There’s a reason he fought to be here. Trust me. If he wanted to go, he would have.

---

Eric: I really didn’t think I was ever gonna get out of here and certainly not to walk out on my own two feet. I don’t know. I don’t know if I can even process this.

Donna: Well, let’s just process this at home, shall we? It’s time and we’re done, right? All the paperwork’s good and…

Finn: Yeah, we’re good. Get out of here before I have to kick you out.

Eric: Oh, I don’t think it’s gonna come to that.

Finn: Eric. Congratulations. I know you– you credit me with this, but this is because of you and your hard work and your determination.

Eric: This is about the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Donna, I– I– I was gone for a while. I went somewhere and I… And what happened there, I’m never going to forget. I’m never gonna forget it for the rest of my life. I thank you for everything– everything you did. I’m so grateful. I’ll never forget.

---

Sheila: Here we go. A still water for you, Poppy. And a scotch neat for Mr. Spencer. I’ll be right back to take your order.

Poppy: I’m gonna throw my drink in her face, you know? And give her a piece of my mind for what she did to my sister.

Bill: As much as I would like to see that, and I really would, you know, I do remember, you had a bit of a feisty side. Oh, listen, now it’s– it’s not worth it. Sheila is legitimately dangerous and eventually, she will snap and find herself back behind bars.

Poppy: You think?

Bill: I do? Hey, uh, that could be our next date. Just, you know, a fun night out visiting Sheila in prison.

Poppy: Mr. Romantic here.

Bill: Oh, we’d take you to the finest penitentiaries. I noticed you didn’t say no, so that must mean you’re open to seeing me again.

Poppy: Very open.

---

Carter: Hey, is that Eric? Is he–

Ridge: He’s not here yet.

Brooke: Donna texted and said they’re on their way.

Carter: Oh, must be thrilled. And I hope it’s okay that I’m here. You know how much I care about Eric and I wanted to be here to welcome him home.

Ridge: You’re family, Carter.

Donna: All right. Just take your time, take your time.

Ridge: There he is.

Carter: Man of the hour.

Eric: I should get at least a week.

Brooke: Oh, you’re here, Eric.

Eric: Hi.

Brooke: You’re really here.

Eric: I– Don’t hug me. Don’t. I wanna hug everybody, but I can’t. I– I– I’m so glad to be here. Hi. All right.

Carter: So good to see you out of that hospital.

Eric: Thanks.

Carter: Healthy.

Eric: Thank you. Ridge.

Ridge: Welcome home, Dad.

---

Deacon: All right, good.

Sheila: Okay.

Deacon: Date seems to be going well. She’s letting him hold her hand.

Sheila: She probably thinks she hit the jackpot. Handsome, wealthy man, like Bill. Poor, poor Poppy though. She doesn’t realize he is not what he seems.

Deacon: Poppy. Cute name.

Sheila: Yeah. Cute name, cute personality. I can– I can see why he’s interested.

Deacon: Poor Poppy. She has no idea what she’s in for.

Bill: Uh-oh, another one of your special mints. Don’t tell me you’re nervous.

Poppy: Should I be?

Bill: Not at all? I have very high hopes for us.

---

Brooke: I was so close to inviting everybody over to surprise you.

Donna: But then common sense won over and we decided not to overwhelm you.

Eric: It’s all right.

Ridge: You okay, Dad?

Eric: Yeah, I’m okay. I’m okay. It’s just– I, uh, I was never sure I was gonna be able to set foot in this house here.

Brooke: We weren’t sure about that either, but we are all so happy that you’re back home, Eric.

Carter: You never count out the great Eric Forrester. You’ve been like a father to me, Eric, and you believed in me. You, uh, you saw promise in me and I accomplished so many goals thanks to you. What’s most important is that you opened up your home and your family to me. You’ve shown me so much grace and forgiveness and for that, Eric, I am so grateful. And I’m glad I get to tell you that now, with you here. Because I wasn’t ready to lose you.

---

Bill: You know something I remember about you from the festival, besides how gorgeous you were? Was the way you made everything seem so carefree and magical. Now, here we are some -plus years later and you still have that same quality. To me, you haven’t changed a bit. Uh, except for the fact that you’ve raised your– your beautiful daughter, of course.

Sheila: Look at her. Her eyes are just glazing over. She’s probably falling for every single lie he’s telling her. Okay, what? All right. Okay, so the lies were easy to fall for.

Deacon: You– you’re not really helping your cause here. Cut some more limes. Yeah.

Poppy: Well, it’s very kind of you to say that I haven’t changed, but let’s face it, I’ve aged.

Bill: Oh, come on now. I mean, we’ve all aged. But the essence of you, your style, that smile. Yes, that– that exact smile right there. I can see you dancing in the moonlight, smiling at me. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure you were dancing to this.

Bill: Oh, you bet I have it. I could never forget those moves.

Poppy: Turn it down.

Bill: Oh, I’m gonna turn it up, if anything. In fact, I’m daring you. Huh? Double dare you. Let’s see you girl.

Bill: You are really Let’s see you girl.

Bill: You are really something, you know that?

Poppy: I’ve been told.

Bill: Transporting me back in time, just watching you moving so beautifully, gracefully, and effortlessly. What a surprise you are. A magical surprise when I– when I needed it most.

---

Eric: I’m sorry that Carter had to leave. I’m sorry. He said wonderful things.

Ridge: You made a huge impact on his life, obviously.

Brooke: On all of us.

Donna: Especially me. I mean, where would I even be without you? And we came a little too close to finding out.

Brooke: Carter said it the best. He wasn’t ready to lose you. None of us were. It just feels so good to have you here now and we get to spend more time with you.

Ridge: More time with the greatest man I know. We weren’t ready to say goodbye. Were you? You said you went to the other side? We haven’t talked about it. Did you want to stay?

Eric: Well, I– I– I’ll tell you, Ridge. Everybody fears death. Everybody’s afraid of it. I was just like everybody else. I was afraid to die. I was scared. God knows I was– I was scared. And then I went to this place, this– It’s a crossing place, crossing over place and I saw, I heard, uh… You know how people say that, um, they saw the light?

Donna: Yeah, of course.

Eric: I said I did. And– and hearing and seeing are the same thing in there. They’re not separate. You can hear the light and you can see the music and– and, uh, everything that I felt, I was part of it. Uh, It was coming through me. I saw your mother. She’s there. She’s… waiting for me And, um, I was relieved of, uh, things that I was feeling that were bad. My body felt fine. I– I was– I was free of all pain and ache and it just– It was– it was gonna be the perfect exit.

Ridge: Dad, I–

Eric: No, wait, I wanna– I wanna say this to you. And I wanna say that to you too. There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s wonderful there. It’s a beautiful, beautiful place and– and as– as wonderful as life is here, just you wait. Just– just you wait. It’s– it’s full of love and light, love and light. And so, uh, I was ready. I was– I was going there. And now, I’m back here.

Ridge: Did I let you down? Did I make the wrong decision? Did you wanna go?

Steffy: I was so scared when I thought Granddad was dying. Like I– I couldn’t imagine my life or this world without him. And then when I wasn’t able to say anything, it was just– it was really awful. But then it all turned around. I mean, you gave us the most profound gift.

Finn: And speaking of… I have some good news about Eric.

---

Wyatt: If I leave town, is that something that you can get behind?

Bill: Well, I’m not happy about it. I like having my sons close. But if it’s something you feel you need to do for yourself, then who am I to stand in your way.

Wyatt: Look, you’ve been extremely generous for letting me live here when Taylor moved out and everything.

Bill: Don’t be ridiculous. I just– I’m just glad it worked out for you.

Wyatt: Thanks. I’ve made a lot of good memories here. It couldn’t be a– Couldn’t have been a better place to call home And just so you know, I– I did, I– I found a renter. You know, while you’re trying to figure out what you want to do with the place and I think it’s– I think they’re– they’re a good candidate. I think you’ll– you’ll approve.

Bill: Thank you. That saves me a call to Cindy. You know, the head of our– our real estate team. Don’t have to worry about leasing it out.

Wyatt: But enough about me and my evolving situation, what about you? Liam tells me about this new woman in your life.

Bill: Ah, yes. The beautiful, mysterious Poppy.

---

Poppy: Luna came here to start the career she’s wanted ever since she was a little girl.

Li: She set her eyes on RJ the second she walked in that door. Why? I guess that old saying has merit. Like mother, like daughter.

Poppy: Are you done?

Li: Actually, no. I heard you on the phone before I was about to come in. It was obvious you were talking to a man. I even knew before I heard you call him Bill. Another lonely, wealthy suitor. Or should I say sugar daddy?

---

R.J.: So, is– is everyone still treating you well here?

Eric: Yes.

R.J.: Yeah?

Eric: Finn, mostly. He’s a wonderful doctor and he’s a terrific guy, you know. But I gotta tell you something. If I never see him again in a hospital setting, it’ll be too soon.

---

is impressed by Eric’s progress. I mean, it’s remarkable how far he’s come so quickly.

Steffy: Yeah. It’s hard to believe that he technically died in recovery.

Finn: Yeah, but he came back strong. So much so that if all goes well, and I have no reason to believe it won’t, Eric’s going home.

Steffy: Soon?

Finn: Tomorrow.

Steffy: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He’s gonna be released? He’s going home? Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

---

Wyatt: So, tell me about this new woman in your life. >>

Bill: Well, I wouldn’t say that she is in my life quite yet, but I am working on it.

Wyatt: Well, look at you all smitten. Wow. I mean, Liam said that you guys met in what? In the Bay area? Some–

Bill: Golden Gate Music Festival.

Wyatt: I’m sorry, what? The universe just– just tilted a little bit. What were you doing at a music festival?

Bill: What are you talking about? You know, your dad gets down.

Wyatt: Don’t do that at all.

Bill: I love music. You know that.

Wyatt: I just can’t picture Bill Spencer, uh, slumming it for three days in a tent while eating mystery meat out of a commune truck.

Bill: Number one, I had a set up like a Bedouin king. But look, that’s beside the point. Do you want to hear about Poppy or not?

Wyatt: Yes, please share.

Bill: I was walking back to the camp and uh, something caught my eye. And it was just this magnificent creature. I mean, she was dancing in a way that I– I had never seen. She was just so free and– and totally uninhibited. But when the music stopped, she locked in on– on me. It was powerful, magnetic. And it just led to this incredible evening together.

Wyatt: It sounds like this Poppy made quite the impression on you.

Bill: She did. I mean, as the saying goes, right? We made beautiful music together. In fact, I– I think you could say that we created magic.

---

Poppy: I really don’t appreciate this judgmental attitude. You have made this villain version of me. This calculating, well, gold digger now, I guess, who only thinks of herself.

Li: That sounds about right. Especially when it comes to men. It’s always the same pattern. He has to be strong, handsome, but his number one qualification, he has to have money. Lots of it. So you can keep selling your hippie clothes at festivals instead of getting a real job. That is your current plan. To hook up with some poor, unsuspecting sucker here in Los Angeles, so you can lay down your roots. I’m warning you, Penelope, don’t try it.

Poppy: You can’t tell me where to live.

Li: I won’t stop, Penelope. I don’t want you here, or Luna. And I won’t rest until you are both gone.

Luna: Um, Was that Aunt Li until you are both gone.

Luna: Um, Was that Aunt Li I just saw leaving?

Poppy: Yeah, I’m afraid so.

Luna: Hey, she ripped into you again, didn’t she?

Poppy: Yeah. And with a new angle this time. Your aunt called me a gold digger.

---

Eric: I want to go home.

R.J.: I know. Granddad, I– I– I know– I know you do, okay? I know, you’re frustrated, but you– you’ve come so far. All right? So just be patient just a little bit longer, okay?

Eric: Face it. Patience is overrated.

Finn: Hey.

R.J.: Hey, doctor. Your, um, your patient’s getting a little restless, he wants to see the world again.

Finn: Yeah, well, we want that for you too, Eric.

Eric: Yeah, yeah, I know. But we haven’t made quite enough progress as we wanted and we still have a couple of bars to clear before we’re done, so I get it.

Finn: Well, contrary to what you’re expecting, we came in here to tell you that if all goes well, you’ll be going home tomorrow.

R.J.: You’re ready.

---

Wyatt: I mean, you must have been blown away with seeing Poppy after all those years.

Bill: Oh, I’m– I’m just sitting there in Il Giardino and in walks this apparition from the past and I mean, at first, you know, it just didn’t quite register.

Wyatt: Well, did she recognize you?

Bill: Everybody recognizes me. But look, if she didn’t recognize me, she did a very good job of– of hiding it. Now, she didn’t blow me off and then finally, it hit me. Pretty crazy. Huh?

Wyatt: Maybe not. What do you mean?

Wyatt: Well, I mean, you basically turned yourself inside out to try and get Katie back, and for the first time ever, nothing you did worked.

Bill: Yeah. Thanks for the reminder.

Wyatt: I’m just saying, maybe things didn’t work out with Katie because Poppy is supposed to be a part of your future.

Bill: Well, stranger things have happened, right?

Wyatt: I mean, that would be amazing, right? If Poppy, this– this woman from your past just suddenly showed up with the most surprising, unexpected gift.

---

Luna: Aunt Li goes way too far.

Poppy: Yeah. Try telling her that. Lua: I mean, seriously, where does she get off? I mean, calling you a gold digger?

Poppy: I have dated men with money, okay? But it’s not the way your Aunt Li makes it sound. That, you know, there was no targeting.

Luna: I know.

Poppy: I just went where my heart led me.

Luna: What?

Poppy: Just, can you imagine her reaction if she knew it led me to Bill Spencer years ago?

Luna: Oh, and that he’s interested in you again? He’s one of the richest men in Los Angeles. I mean her head would explode.

Poppy: Well, you don’t know the half of it.

Luna: So, where do things stand? With you and Bill, I mean?

Poppy: I’m seeing him again tomorrow.

Luna: Awesome. You must be so excited.

Poppy: Well, we are just getting reacquainted.

Luna: But that could lead to finding out that you’re still into each other, maybe more than before.

Poppy: Okay, you are getting way ahead of yourself, sweetheart.

Luna: We’ll see. But in the meantime I approve. I like Bill. Um, I have since the moment I met him. I like having him around.

---

Eric: This is really happening?

R.J.: He’s– he’s gonna get released like tomorrow?

Steffy: It is the best news.

Finn: Look, I’m not saying it’s definite, but as long as you don’t have any setbacks tonight. Um, yeah, you’re out of here.

Eric: I– I can’t– I can’t tell you what that means to me. Yeah.

Finn: I– I– I think I understand.

Steffy: Yeah, we all do. And you made it. You fought your way back to us and I know it seemed impossible, but… you’re coming home.

Eric: Well, I had a lot of help. Finn. You saved my life.

Steffy: Granddad, it was you. If you didn’t fight, it would be a very different outcome right now.

Eric: Yeah.

Finn: You had an incredibly difficult procedure and it’s been emotional and– and difficult. And it’s gonna continue to– to not be easy, but–

Eric: I can do it. I– I didn’t think I could get this far. I didn’t think I had the stamina or the strength, but I– I had all of you cheering me on, yeah. I’m gonna go home, I’m gonna feel the sun on my face. And the, uh, the breeze coming up from the ocean, from the coast, on my face. Yeah. And hearing the good grandkids laughing around the pool and seeing that– that big old, wonderful house. And my big old, wonderful family around me. I’m– I’m so blessed. I love you so much. Tomorrow.

R.J.: It’s tomorrow. Going home tomorrow.

Eric: Yeah, going home tomorrow.

Thomas: I was there that night. I was on Mulholland, following Emma’s car.

Hope: Yeah, because she was on her way to see me. To tell me that Beth was alive.

Thomas: Yeah. But what Xander accused me of, I didn’t drive Emma off the road, Hope. I’m not a murderer. I tried to stop her and I did not want her to die. I have been completely open and honest with you. And now, you know everything. So please, tell me we can still have a future together. ♪♪♪

---

Luna: I’m still smiling after seeing Eric. I’m so happy we got to visit him.

R.J.: Yeah. Me too. I, uh, I told him we were gonna go back and see him later tonight. You’re not the only one who’s still smiling ’cause I heard all those nice things you said about me to granddad. They were very cute.

Luna: I was supposed to be playing it cool.

R.J.: Yeah, too late. You are very into me and I’m into you.

Brooke: Ooh. Oh, R.J. Uh, I– I– I didn’t realize that you were in here. So, uh, just, uh, I’ll be back. Carry on.

R.J.: Okay.

Luna: Uh, well, that wasn’t embarrassing at all.

R.J.: This is what I’ve been saying, okay? I– I need to get my own place. Right? Like– like today.

---

Ridge: Dad’s getting better every day.

Carter: Yeah, what a relief. I’m thrilled for Eric. Well, for all of you really.

Ridge: Means a lot how much you care about him.

Carter: Of course I care about him. You’re like family to me.

Ridge: Like family? No, we are a family. Come here.

Carter: Thanks, man.

Brooke: Oh, now you two? I keep interrupting everybody tonight. ♪♪♪

---

Luna: Yeah, I mean, you’ve been mentioning for a while, how much you want your own place.

R.J.: Yeah, it’s– it’s… You know, it’s not that I don’t enjoy living with my parents. It’s just it was only meant to be temporary.

Luna: Yeah, well, I know they enjoy having you around.

R.J.: Well… I mean– I mean, that’s the thing, you know, ’cause… when I got back things were a little, like, rocky between them, you know? Like with my dad moving back in and, you know, it– it just felt right, like it felt healing for– for my family.

Luna: Yeah.

R.J.: Yeah. You know, now everything is better and maybe, uh, it’d be nice to have a little bit of privacy.

Luna: Yes, it would be.

---

Brooke: So, I walked in on R.J. and Luna kissing. I felt terrible.

Ridge: Well, I’m sure our son was equally mortified.

Brooke: I just hope I handled it the right way. I don’t want them to feel embarrassed.

Carter: Well their relationship isn’t exactly on the low. I mean, everyone in this building knows how they feel about each other.

Brooke: Well, that’s true. And it is cute how smitten he is with her. And she does seem to be a nice, wonderful, very talented young lady.

Ridge: Well, that’s fantastic. That’s exactly what we need, right? Another office romance including one of my kids.

Brooke: Uh, yeah.

---

Thomas: Say something, Hope.

Hope: I’m– I’m not really sure what to say.

Thomas: I know it’s a lot to digest but now you have the whole story. Look, there are no more secrets between us.

Hope: I appreciate you being honest about what happened that night. But…

Thomas: Hope, I love you and I want to marry you. And I don’t want the past to affect where we are right now.

Hope: I just– I’m going to need some time.

Thomas: I understand.

Hope: But I also don’t want you to lose sight of the fact that I– I know the man that you’ve become.

Thomas: Thank you. As long as you have my ring on your chain, I… still have hope.

Hope: I can’t give you any promises about what the future may hold. Thomas, I just– I just need… I need time to make sense of everything that you have just told me. ♪♪♪

---

Carter: I’d say you both know a thing or two about office romance.

Ridge: I think we’ve all dabbled a little, Carter.

Carter: Touché, touché. But you two, you’re the king and queen.

Ridge: I am the king. And there’s my queen. Hi. Brooke Hm. Yes.

Brooke: But we can’t compare ourselves to Hope and Thomas. You know that, right? That was a different situation. We’re very different people.

Carter: I feel like you two are about to debate– I mean, have a… discussion about this.

Ridge: Yeah, we just– we don’t see eye to eye when it comes to our kids.

Carter: Right. And that’s my cue to leave.

Ridge: You don’t want to hear about parenting stuff?

Carter: No, I think I’m fine.

Ridge: You should have kids. Parenting never ends, Carter. It never ends.

Brooke: Oh, God.

---

Brooke: Okay, I– I don’t want to debate about our kids once again. Okay?

Ridge: Okay, so what do you want to do? Maybe make out a little? Show this room how it’s done?

Brooke: Yeah, we could… do a little of that.

Ridge: A little of that?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Good. ♪♪♪

---

R.J.: You know, even when I do move out of my parents’ house, I’m still gonna see them all the time.

Luna: Yeah, for sure. And you all get to see each other here at work every day. Which is amazing.

R.J.: Yeah, it’s the best. You know, moving back to L.A. was one of the smartest decisions I ever made. I wouldn’t change a thing. But I do have a new priority. And that’s getting even closer to you.

Carter: Hey, R.J., man, I– Ooh.

R.J.: Hey.  Twice in one day. That’s twice. That’s two times.

Carter: My bad, man. Your mom just told me about the first time.

R.J.: Really? Oh, she’s– she’s going around telling people.

Luna: That is just beyond embarrassing.

Carter: I’m just dropping off Eric’s numbers, okay? And– and hey, a little tip: next time, lock the door.

R.J.: Ah. ♪♪♪

---

Ridge: No, gracias. He’s– he’s doing a lot better. He’s getting better every day and hopefully he’ll be out of the hospital soon. That’s exactly what that means. We will see you in Milan in the spring. He– I– I will certainly tell him that. Listen, uh, Domenico, I gotta run and I will talk to you very soon. All right? Oh, me too. Ok, bye. Ciao.

Thomas: The Domenico, Domenico?

Ridge: Yeah, he was just checking on your granddad.

Thomas: Yeah, I look, I– I didn’t mean for you to get off the phone on my account.

Ridge: Just wrapping it up.

Thomas: Well, how is Granddad coming along?

Ridge: He’s– he’s getting better all the time. What’s going on with you? You walked in here, you had the weight of the world on your shoulders, what’s up?

Thomas: Yeah, I just, um… I was just talking to Hope and– And I– I– I feel like I– I just screwed it all up. ♪♪♪

---

Brooke: Hi, sweetheart. I’m sorry to stop by unannounced. But I saw that the lights were still on and I thought I’d come down and say good night to the kiddies.

Hope: They are actually not here right now, they’re with Katie.

Brooke: Oh, sorry I missed them. Well, I guess that would explain the flowers and the candles, and the wine. That’s quite the romantic setup. For Thomas? It’s still quite early. So, is Thomas here in the other room? Am I intruding?

Hope: No. No, it’s, uh, it’s fine. Actually, he’s– he’s, uh, left already.

Brooke: He left? Did you have an argument?

Hope: No, no, we did not have an argument.

Brooke: Honey, you’re my daughter and I know you very well. I can tell when something’s weighing on you. So why don’t you tell me what happened here tonight? Between you and Thomas? ♪♪♪

---

Luna: This is nice.

R.J.: I’ll just stay right here and never move.

Luna: I’m game. I love the way I feel in your arms.

R.J.: Me too.

Luna: Have you always been this sweet?

R.J.: Let’s just say you bring out the best in me.

Luna: They don’t make ’em like you anymore, R.J. You’re one of a kind.

R.J.: Same goes for you.

Luna: No, for real though. Like every new day I get to spend with you I like you even better than the day before. And the day before that. My feelings for you have just grown stronger. Watching how caring you are with your grandfather and seeing the way you treat the staff here. And the barista at our coffee place. You just have all the qualities I’ve ever wanted in a guy. You’re thoughtful and kind, sensitive.

R.J.: Well.

Luna: And you’re also pretty hot. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.

R.J.: Neither have I. I feel the exact same way about you. ♪♪♪

---

Ridge: You all right?

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: And Hope?

Thomas: Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s Hope. She’s incredible as always. I keep thinking about her and how amazing she’s been. She’s always been so forgiving of me.

Ridge: Very impressive. She left the past in the past.

Thomas: Yeah, I just hope it continues in that direction.

Ridge: Why wouldn’t it?

Thomas: I don’t know. I– I guess, um… I’m falling more and more in love with her, you know? And I– I just wanna make sure that in– I don’t wanna do anything to mess it up.

Ridge: It sounds like a healthy perspective.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I’m trying to stay positive, you know, give her space.

Ridge: That’s all you can do. You know, keep your head on straight and do what you can and if it lines up then it’s meant to be, right?

Thomas: Sure. Yeah. Yeah. No, that– that helps. Um, you always give good advice. Thank you. I love you, you’re my son. And I love who you’ve become. You… I’m proud of you.

Thomas: That means a lot, especially coming from you. And talking about this. I know that– I know my relationship with Hope has… always been a little bit of a shock. Right?

Ridge: Shock or not, listen… if you’re happy, I’m happy.

Thomas: Wow. I mean, look, you– you might be the only one who feels that way ’cause it feels like, uh, I don’t know, everyone has something against our relationship, especially Brooke.

---

Brooke: Honey, I can’t help but be concerned. Did something happen? Did Thomas do something to you?

Hope: No, Mom. Nothing– nothing happened to me. Okay? Thomas loves me.

Brooke: Then why isn’t he here? I mean, obviously you set up this really nice, romantic evening for the two of you. What’s going on? What happened tonight?

Hope: We– we uh, had a… difficult conversation about some of the things in his past.

Brooke: Oh, yes. We are all very familiar with that time. It traumatized all of us, most importantly, you. But Thomas did say that he’s been improving and working on himself and… he’s a changed man. We all would really love to believe that.

Hope: I do. I believe him.

Brooke: But you can’t feel that comfortable with what happened in the past. I mean, I’m sure it would be very difficult for you to commit yourself to him.

---

R.J.: I can’t stop kissing you. You know, I think about you day and night. Especially at night, when I’m alone in my bed. Wishing you were there.

Luna: I think about you the same way.

R.J.: You do?

Luna: We need to be alone together. Please get a place of your own, soon.

---

Ridge: Well, don’t worry about Brooke. She’s just being a protective mother.

Thomas: You always say that.

Ridge: I always say that because it’s true. She’s not trying to sabotage your relationship. Right?

Thomas: Brooke is entitled to her opinion. Sure. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I don’t really care about anyone else’s opinion. All I care about is Hope’s opinion. Right? I– I want her to know how committed I am to her and how much she can trust me.

Ridge: And… she’s on board with that. I mean, she’s forgiven you. Right?

Thomas: She’s– she’s trying, you know, but– but she’s not going to forget everything from the past. Right? That’s impossible.

Ridge: Right, but she also knows how much work you’ve put in and she realizes that.

Thomas: Yeah. Look, I would– I would do anything for Hope.

Ridge: That’s how I feel about Brooke. It sounds like it’s real.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, I– I feel like I’ve shown her the kind of love that she deserves. I’ve– I’ve told the truth about every mistake I’ve ever made. I’ve– I’ve let her know that, well, she has all the cards. Right? I put them all on the table. And she’s the only woman for me. There’d never be anybody else. I think I can give her the life she deserves.

---

Brooke: Well, it seems like you’ve developed feelings for Thomas. I won’t fight you on that, but I’m sure it’s gonna be hard for you to move past that chapter in your life. One that Thomas was a very big part of. So it would be best for you to… end it with him now.

Hope: I know you mean well, Mom. But I don’t intend on doing that.

Brooke: Honey, I want you to consider what’s best for you, what’s best for the children.

Hope: I have. And yes, Thomas has– he has made mistakes. He has done some regrettable things and he acknowledges that. But I mean, we haven’t we all messed up? I mean, I’m– I’m not perfect. None of us are. And Lord knows I’m the queen of giving people nd, rd and th, th chances. But what makes this different, Mom, is that it’s not just empty words and platitudes. He’s done the work. And so I’m not just hoping that maybe he’s going to transform. I know he has. He’s backed it up with action.

Brooke: Oh, okay. Um, you’re acting a little strange. I mean, you’re not really yourself right now, honey. You’re very uneasy. And if you don’t want to tell me what’s going on. That’s okay. I just want you to trust your instincts. If there’s anything that you doubt about Thomas, anything at all, please…

Hope: I don’t doubt Thomas. I think– I think he is an exceptional designer. I think he has stepped up and proven himself as a father. And, Mom… He loves me unconditionally. Which is all I have ever hoped for. So I know you hate to hear that, but at some point, Mom, you are going to have to stop fighting this, please. Is there any part of you that can learn to accept Thomas and me? Because who knows… what our future might– might be? ♪♪♪

[Dramatic Music]

Hope: I read everything I could find about Emma’s accident and the police said that there were no witnesses. And you’re telling me that you were there? You saw Emma’s car go off the road and you said nothing.

Thomas: She was driving so fast.

Hope: You were following her!

Thomas: And we were both trying to get to you. To this day, I am still horrified about that night

Hope: All this time.

Thomas: I have been trying to get it out of my mind.

Hope: So what so many people suspected of you… you’re actually admitting is true? That you were on Mulholland the night that Emma died.

---

Steffy: I love how protective you are, but my brother isn’t the threat you think he is.

Finn: Look, I can’t just ignore what Xander told me. He seems sure.

Steffy: That doesn’t make it true, Finn.

Finn: So you’re just really not concerned that Thomas could be responsible for Emma’s death?

Steffy: No, because the police already looked into it. It was an accident, a terrible accident. Finn, listen to me. Dredging this all up, it isn’t helping. I know my brother has changed. He’s learned from his mistakes. Finn, I promise you, Thomas isn’t a danger to anyone. You need to believe me.

Finn: I hear you, all right? Thomas is your big brother. You’ve spent years looking up to him.

Steffy: In a way, his mistakes hurt me more than anyone.

Finn: Well, maybe he hurt someone else a lot more. Look– look, Steffy, I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry. I can see the stress that this is causing you.

Steffy: No, I understand that you have questions. I get that you’re concerned. Xander just shows up here. He’s a new patient and he starts spewing all these accusations against my brother. I get it.

Finn: But that’s just the thing. It wasn’t really like that. I mean, I had to pull the story out of him.

Steffy: It doesn’t make it true. There’s no proof of what Xander’s been saying.

Finn: I understand that, but it’s the way Xander reacted, okay? Just saying your brother’s name. It wasn’t like he was putting me on. He truly believes Thomas is– is dangerous.

Steffy: Well, he’s not. Xander is wrong. Don’t listen to him. Listen to me, your wife.

---

Thomas: I’m so ashamed. I wish I’d come forward sooner. I hated keeping this from you. I wanted to say something so many times and you were so proud of me. Encouraging and supportive. It terrified me this would set us back, make you question everything. And it doesn’t change anything, you know. It– Emma still died because of an accident. But holding it in and holding it back from you, not sharing everything with each other… Yes, I was on Mulholland that night. I was there. I saw Emma’s car go right off the road. All of that is true. But Xander is wrong, Hope. I’m not a murderer. You know me. You have to believe me.

---

Finn: Look, I want to believe you. I don’t want to believe that Thomas might be capable of murder.

Steffy: He is not. Xander and Emma were close. He was deeply affected by her death. So he wanted to point the finger at someone.

Finn: He told me Thomas threatened him.

Steffy: Thomas has done some very dark things in the past. You know that. And Thomas would be the first person to admit that, But hiding something as disgusting, as gruesome, like a crime? He wouldn’t do that. He’s worked so hard on himself. All this healing. He’s become a better father and Xander doesn’t know any of that because he hasn’t seen it. He’s basing this all on the man he used to be. And even at Thomas’s worst, he wouldn’t be homicidal.

Finn: He was desperate though. All he cared about was getting close to Hope. And if he thought Emma was gonna expose him, come between them? I’m just saying, I know how he is, Steffy. Even recently, when I told him that Hope and him should never be together.

Steffy: Was Thomas ever violent with you?

Finn: No.

Steffy: Did you ever feel as though, I don’t know, you were in danger?

Finn: No.

Steffy: Then what does that tell you? I don’t understand why you’re not trusting your instincts or trusting your wife. And I don’t know why you’re trying to open this wound. Yes, I am very protective and I will do anything to protect my family, but I’m not giving Thomas the benefit of the doubt because he is my brother. I’ve seen that he’s changed and I’m putting my faith in him just like you should put your faith in me.

Finn: Okay. Come here. Look, honey… Honey, I love you, okay? You and the kids are my entire world. And if… Look, if you need me to let this go, I– I– I will.

Steffy: So, you’ll drop it?

Finn: Well, if this is causing you this much stress? Yeah. Okay. I can let it go.

Steffy: Oh, my God.

Finn: Yeah.

---

Hope: Why are you telling me this now? Hm? Is it because Xander’s back? Thomas He started up. He got Finn involved, but I’m here because I want a life with you. And there can’t be any secrets between us.

Hope: Tell me again. How it happened. I need to hear you say it again.

Thomas: Emma and I argued at the office. What are you talking about? She demanded that I tell you about Beth. Take a breath.

Emma: I can’t calm down. I just overheard–

Thomas: I tried to reason with her. I tried to make her see what that would do to Steffy.

Emma: Shouldn’t Steffy know the truth?

Thomas: My sister loved that baby girl so much. I just needed more time, but she wouldn’t listen.

Emma: There’s nothing you cn do to stop me, out of my way.

Thomas: No.

Emma: Move, now!

Thomas: You’re not going anywhere. She was gonna find you. She was gonna tell you everything and I tried to stop her. But she jumped in her car and she tore off. I thought I could get her to pull over. She was just driving so fast. She must have been, I don’t know, trying to call you or– or– or text you or something. I– I honked, I tried to get her to slow down, but she just went faster. And then I saw her head go down. She must have been reaching for something. And that’s when she lost control. She missed the turn, crashed through the guardrail. Where she went over, no one would have survived. I still have nightmares about it. I– I hear swerving and the brakes. And then not being able to do anything. I’m haunted by it. But I did not run her off the road. Hope, I swear to you. I was there, but I didn’t kill Emma.

---

Steffy: Look, I know you’re just trying to do the right thing.

Finn: Well, the right thing is for us to stay unified.

Steffy: Yeah. But it is okay if we disagree and we have different opinions.

Finn: Well, you’re my wife and Thomas is your brother. I respect that.

Steffy: I just wish you two could get along.

Finn: Look, I want to get back to that.

Steffy: Yeah, but if you have doubts about Thomas Or you’re troubled by what Xander said, then I don’t know where to go from there.

Finn: Look, what I need to remember and what I can’t forget is how much I love you and how much I missed you and the kids when you were gone. All those nights, I would lay awake just wishing that you would come home. I promised myself that I would never let anything come between us again. So, if you don’t want me to pursue this, I won’t.

Steffy: Well I’m really happy to hear that. We just have so many things going on. Everything we’ve been through. Sheila, our time apart, my grandfather, and now Hope and Thomas are in a relationship.

Finn: Look, there’s been enough turmoil. You’re right. The last thing we need is to go looking for more.

Steffy: Especially when everything’s finally starting to turn around.

Finn: I agree. All I want is a loving, supporting, peaceful family. Your brother included.

Steffy: Okay.

---

Thomas: When I think back, it’s like I’m remembering someone else. A stranger who did all those misguided things. He did it because he loved you in a messed up way and he wanted to spend his life with you. But I’ve done a since then, thanks to you. Your understanding, your support. I’ve changed my ways completely. When I look back, it’s like I see that man clearly, his selfishness and obsession, but that doesn’t exist anymore and he’s never coming back. Now, did I lie? Did I withhold the truth? I handled that night and pretty much everything at that time all wrong? Yes. I should have told you what happened with Beth. But I was so caught up in my own fear. And I don’t want any more secrets between us. Never again. I don’t want us to ever have to think about that night again. Emma is gone and that is the real tragedy. But can’t we just focus on our own life and our future together?

Hope: I, uh… I have to think about this.

Thomas: Nothing has to change.

Hope: You chased Emma, Thomas. You were on Mulholland that night. You saw her go off the road. She was my friend. She died trying to get to me. Trying to tell me the truth about my daughter, about Beth. Do I believe you’re telling the truth, Thomas? Yes. I do believe you.

Thomas: Thank you.

---

Steffy: You really would do anything for me.

Finn: No question.

Steffy: How did I get so lucky?

Finn: It’s never been luck for us. It’s loyalty, commitment, trust.

Steffy: Passion?

Finn: We got plenty of that.

Steffy: I think we could use a little more.

Finn: Oh, is that a complaint?

Steffy: No, it’s a proposition.

Finn: I know. What do you have in mind?

Steffy: We can get someone to watch the kids and I’m gonna keep you in bed until the sun comes up.

Finn: Well, my schedule just completely freed up.

Steffy: I am so grateful for you. I really am.

---

Thomas: I’m sorry, Hope. I hate bringing up these terrible memories. They’re painful for me too. I didn’t want Emma to die. I tried to stop her. You’re disappointed in me. I am too. I did love you then, but it was a messed up flawed kind of love. I was confused. But what I feel for you today is way different. It’s pure and it’s healthy.

Hope: Thomas… We can talk about that another time.

Thomas: Look, I’m not asking you to accept the person I was, but please believe in who I am now. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, Hope I just want to put that horrible night behind us. I promise I am committed to being the upstanding man that you deserve. Someone you can truly love. You’ve changed me from the man who did all of those terrible things years ago to someone that maybe you’re capable of loving, who’s capable of honoring you and loving you. I wanna be a good father. I wanna be a good husband someday. The best designer for your line and the right man for you. No more secrets, Hope. I told you everything. I swear it’s the truth. And if you can’t forgive me, just tell me you believe that I’m a different man now. A better man, better than I was before. Tell me you know I’ve changed. It may have taken me a really long time to mature and find confidence, but I have. To find true love. It’s all because of you. It’s not obsession, not like it was. I swear. I just love you. I love you so much. I want the world to recognize who we are today and what we can be, moving forward. I want to prove how good I can be. Now, and every single day in the future. You’re wearing that engagement ring around your necklace. That ring represents who I am today and the life that I want to share with you, forever. Please don’t give up on me. Don’t give up on us.

Liam: Hope, I know you don’t like hearing this, especially not from me, but you are not safe with thomas. Not emotionally and not physically.

Hope: Liam.

Liam: Okay. What if– what if you say something and it triggers his dark side again? Do you ever think about that? What if he runs you off a cliff too?

Hope: Thomas had nothing to do with emma’s death.

Liam: All I’m saying is you should give that ring back and you could be– listen. You can’t possibly… what, are you gonna marry him?

Hope: That’s not really up to you.

Liam: Okay. Okay. This is me just looking out for you because none of this bodes well. Xander back in town, the emma thing being dredged up again and you know what it’s doing? It’s making me even more worried about you.

Steffy: You said xander was right about something. What is it?

Thomas: It was a tragedy, steff. And what happened to emma, it still weighs on me but I’m not responsible. I didn’t kill her, steff.

Eric: So? What’s the verdict, doc?

Finn: I’m happy to say you’re making excellent progress.

Eric: Thanks for taking such good care of me.

Liam: Well, your family would have come after me with pitchforks if I hadn’t with steffy leading the charge. They love you so much.

Rj: I can vouch for that. Hey.

Eric: Rj.

Rj: Hey.

Eric: And the beautiful luna. What a treat.

Rj: No. Hey, having you here with us, getting stronger every single day. That’s the treat, granddad.

Finn: It’s always a nice surprise to see my cousin, especially when you’re smiling like that.

Luna: Yeah, well, I got lots to smile about.

Finn: Have a nice visit, okay? And can you try to have him take it easy?

Rj: Have– have him take it easy? Do you know who you’re talking about, dude? Come on.

Eric: Finn. Finn. I’m very grateful.

Rj: Hey, yeah. From– from me to you, dude, thank you. Seriously, you’re– you’re a miracle worker. Steffy’s definitely lucky to have you, man.

Thomas: I’m not gonna let xander keep spreading these lies and please tell finn to stop listening to him. It’s no secret. I wasn’t a saint back then, but I’m not responsible.

Steffy: I know.

Thomas: I need hope to know too. But thank you so much for always having faith in me. It means the world.

Steffy: Of course.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Of course.

Hope: Thomas is not a murderer and xander shouldn’t be running around town saying that he is.

Liam: Well, he should, if it’s true.

Hope: It isn’T. Liam, I– I get that you’re, I don’t know, trying to look out for me here, but it’s not necessary, okay? I know thomas. I know the man he really is.

Liam: Who’s the man he really is? Who’s the man thomas really is? Is it a man that you love? Do you love him, hope? So I didn’t think I needed swiffer,

Eric: It’s good– it’s good to see you, both of you. Thanks for– thanks for stopping by.

Luna: Of course. And we did not come empty-handed.

Eric: Luna, the guardian of the stapler.

Luna: Well, it’s a little reminder of what’s waiting for you when you get out of here.

Eric: Good that it did not get tossed or… or forgotten.

Rj: Neither have you, granddad.

Hope: I’m going to tell you what I told steffy and ridge and my mom and everyone else who asks: My feelings for thomas are private. And they’re not up for discussion, especially not with someone who is so openly against our relationship.

Liam: Okay, I know that look. Anything else I say, you’re just gonna dig in deeper. So promise me this, promise me that you’re gonna keep your guard up, okay? You’re not gonna get blindsided by whatever the next round of thomas’s dark secrets is, okay? Because hope, I am telling you they are out there and they are coming.

Steffy: So, how’s granddad?

Finn: I was just checking on him. He’s– he’s doing really well. I– I’m so pleased.

Steffy: That’s such a relief to hear.

Finn: Yeah, well, for me too. Uh, luna and rj are with him.

Steffy: That’s good. They lift him up. I think it’s all the youthful energy and love. So, um, I spoke to thomas like you asked.

Finn: Did he say anything more about emma? Or, let me guess. Thomas just denied, denied, denied

[ Knocking on door ]

Hope: Come in.

Thomas: Hey. Uh, wow. The– the– this place looks amazing.

Hope: You like?

Thomas: Yes. Yes. Mm. I like that even more.

Hope: Um, okay. So…

Thomas: Hold on. I- I just– I need a second. You did this all for me?

Hope: Well, don’t forget about little old me. I intend to reap the benefits of this as well. So, here’s what I’m thinking. We have the night to ourselves. The kids are with katie. We can order in and we can continue collaborating.

Thomas: Oh, I like the sound of that.

Hope: Thought you might. So, would you like to start with a glass of red?

Thomas: Uh, um, actually, I’m– I’m okay.

Hope: Ooh. Okay. Something wrong? You seem a little off?

Thomas: Yeah, look, um, finn confronted steffy in an attempt to try and get her to talk to me about the night that emma died.

Hope: Well, I– I’d really rather not revisit that, so…

Thomas: Yeah. And I– I totally understand, but I’m actually, um, I’m a little relieved that it’s coming up again.

Hope: Why?

Thomas: I think it’s caused a little bit of a barrier between us.

Hope: Okay so what are you trying to tell me, thomas?

Thomas: I love you so much. And I don’t want there to be anything between us, so I want to tell you everything about that night, hope. Aah, it’s a good day to cough.

Eric: Luna. I sent rj away to get water for me so I can have some time alone with you, okay?

Luna: That’s sneaky. What did you, um, what did you want to talk about?

Eric: You and rj. He’s crazy about you.

Luna: Yeah, he may have mentioned it once or twice.

Eric: He’s a smart man. You’re very special.

Luna: Thank you. Your support means everything to us.

Eric: I approve.

Luna: Yeah, I, um, I’ve– I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. Yeah. It’s a surprise. I– when I first moved to L.A., It was for my career. I mean, getting a job at forrester creations? It was like an absolute dream for me and– and that would have been enough. But, um, I– I got really lucky and I met rj and he’s added so much to my life. Fun, friendship, laughter, creativity. The chance to work with you. The biggest one, the one that I was never expecting is– is love.

Eric: Perfect timing.

Luna: Did– did you hear all of that just now?

Rj: Yeah, I did and I’m glad I did.

Luna: Good, because I meant every word.

Steffy: Of course, thomas denied his involvement in emma’s death. He is incapable of murder.

Finn: Well, I wish I were as confident as you.

Steffy: I wish you were too. And maybe you would be if you’d take the time to get to know him better.

Finn: I know him plenty.

Steffy: Yes, thomas has made mistakes in the past. I’m not condoning them. He has done some terrible things, but murder?

Finn: He’s gone to some pretty dark places before.

Steffy: You’re making thomas out to be some kind of monster. He’s not, finn. Look, he didn’t do what xander is accusing him of. You’ve got to trust me on this. I know thomas better than anyone. You need to let this go.

Hope: I thought I already knew everything that happened that night.

Thomas: Not all of it.

Hope: I mean, it still haunts me. The fact that emma lost her life driving to see me to try to tell me that beth was alive.

Thomas: Well, you don’t feel any guilt, do you? Because nothing could be further from the truth.

Hope: Well, that’s what I think about when I let myself go there. And what about you? The police cleared you in the investigation. They said that it was distracted driving that led to emma’s death, and yet, you are telling me that there is more to the story now.

Thomas: That was one of the darkest times of my entire life. I’m not that person. I’ll never be that person again and you believe that, right?

Hope: I’m going to be honest. You telling me that there’s a part of that evening that you have kept to yourself all this time, I mean, that is– that is making me nervous, thomas. So, I am going to need you to tell me everything. I need the whole truth. (Avo) kate made progress with her mental health…

Eric: You two… make my heart warm.

Luna: I think we all feel the same way.

Rj: We sure do.

Luna: Yeah. What’s your secret anyway?

Rj: Yeah. Yeah. What are the secret? We want to be like you when we grow up.

Eric: You’re asking me for a life lesson?

Rj: Well, who better?

Eric: Life is precious. If love finds you, then… give it all you’ve got.

Steffy: Thomas is far from perfect. I am the first one to admit that. I know he’s done horrible things in the past. He hurt a lot of people, but killing someone? I mean, the thought of that is so absurd. Finn, I don’t want to talk about this. There are so many things that are going on. I’m already stressed out about my grandfather and now this?

Finn: Okay. All right. Look the– the last thing I wanna do is– is upset you.

Steffy: Then drop it. My brother’s not a killer.

Hope: I am, uh, trying to wrap my head around this. Okay, so you proposed to me, thomas. I’m wearing the ring you gave me around my neck and that is something I don’t take lightly.

Thomas: Neither do I.

Hope: Okay. So then, if– if you want us to have any chance of a future together, I am going to need you to be completely honest with me.

Thomas: That’s exactly what I want too. And this is a very sad thing to talk about, but this is why I’m thankful we’re finally talking about it. I need to tell you everything about that night, hope. Emma and I had a confrontation. She wanted to go to you and tell you about your baby and I wanted to stop her. And I went after her, which is no secret. I mean, xander pulled the security footage. It showed me leaving forrester. That’s when the accusations started flying, that I ran her off a cliff. But there was no proof. So xander went to try and get the gps location to show I was there at the accident site, but when the cops followed up, I had already erased it. I knew with everyone knowing about what had happened, me keeping the secret about beth, what they would think if I was there that night.

Hope: So, you were there? So, liam and xander and their assumptions about you somehow being involved… are…

Thomas: Yeah. I, uh, I chased after her and we were both driving very fast. And you know how at night time, mulholland can get very, very dangerous, especially if you’re driving fast. That’s when it happened. She went off the road, down into that canyon. I saw it. But I didn’t cause it, hope. I didn’t kill her.

Hope: Did you try to help?

Thomas: No one could have survived that. No one could survive that crash. I– I should have told you the truth about beth and I never meant to hurt her or you or… I never meant for emma to die. That’s the truth about that night, hope. It’s not like xander said. I’m not a murderer. And hope, I… please tell me you can forgive me, please.

Finn: So then, you’ll do it then? You’ll talk to your brother?

Steffy: If that’s what it takes to finally put this to rest, then…

Finn: Okay. Well, hopefully it will, but… only if your brother’s honest with you.

Steffy: I thought he was honest with me. Just wish you thought that too.

Finn: You know that I’m not trying to make trouble for thomas. You do know that, right?

Steffy: None of this would’ve started if you hadn’t spoken to xander.

Finn: Yeah. Well, I have, okay? And he’s come to me twice now. He’s having the same accusations against your brother.

>>. Steffy: Well, it’s not true.

Finn: I know how much that you want to believe that. And for thomas’ sake, I hope it isn’T. But there are still a lot of unanswered questions, babe. Questions only your brother knows the answers to.

Steffy: I told you I– I would talk to him, okay?

Finn: Okay. You just be direct. Ask him point blank if he had any hand in emma’s death.

Thomas: I could do this all day.

Hope: Me too.

Thomas: Unfortunately, I have work to do.

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: Oh…

Thomas: Well… yeah, I gotta finish this design and then show it to you so that you can give me pointers.

[ Thomas laughs ]

Hope: You know, actually, I think, uh, I might have a better idea.

Thomas: Yeah?

Hope: Mm-hmm. What if, uh, you came and met me later at my cabin after you finish, and we could do some more collaborating then?

Thomas: I love collaborating.

Hope: I thought you might like that.

Thomas: You know what else I love? I love that you have always seen the good inside of me. You’ve seen the person that i was, and you helped me turn into the person that I am now. You helped me grow so much. Grow into a person that feels worthy of someone as amazing as you. Still hoping for a future. I’ll never stop hoping. Steffy: Finn, my brother was cleared of any suspicions in emma’s death.

Finn: I’m aware.

Steffy: He answered all of the questions, and the police were satisfied with his answers.

Finn: So, we should be too? Like I should be satisfied?

Steffy: We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if xander hadn’t dredged all of this up.

Finn: Well, the point is, he has and we can’t just ignore it. Are you gonna see him? Right now?

[ Steffy scoffs ]

Steffy: Fine. Yeah, I– I’ll talk to him. I just think it’s a waste of time. I already know everything.

Finn: Well, maybe, but it’s also possible that he’s holding something back, all right? Something that he’s never shared before for whatever reason.

Steffy: He didn’t harm emma. She didn’t die because of anything my brother did.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Li: I saw steffy leaving. She didn’t look happy. What’s going on, finn? Were you arguing?

Finn: Arguing, no. Disagreeing, yes.

Li: About what?

Finn: Steffy’s brother, thomas.

Thomas: Please say you’ll marry me.

Hope: I’m just– I’m not ready yet for this, thomas. I hope you understand.

Thomas: Until you’re ready to put this ring on your finger, just keep it here where it belongs, right next to your heart.

Finn: But given the things thomas has done in the past, when xander accuses thomas of murder? Now, do you understand why I’m so concerned about you?

[ Door opens ]

Hope: Uh-huh. Hi, liam. What are you doing here?

Liam: Interrupting, apparently. Hey, at least you’re not in lingerie. Thomas on his way over? Hope?

Hope: Don’t do that. Don’T.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: What do you want?

Liam: I’m just– you seem distracted and, um, you know, contrary to popular opinion, I do still care about you and you can talk to me, so what’s going on?

Hope: I don’t even know if I should be telling you this, but, uh, I have two words for you. Xander avant.

Liam: Xander… hm. What about him?

Hope: He’s back in town.

Liam: And making thomas’s life hell, no doubt.

Finn: I’m not trying to stir up trouble in my marriage, but I just– I can’t look the other way either.

Li: You’re that concerned about thomas? Doubts you’re not willing to brush away?

Finn: I can’T. It just– it wouldn’t be fair.

Li: Fair to whom? Steffy? Thomas? Someone else you’re not mentioning?

Finn: No, actually, I’m thinking of hope.

Li: Hope?

Finn: You know thomas and hope are a couple, right?

Li: Well, yes. Her marriage to liam ended because of it. At least, that’s my understanding.

>Finn: Well, there are other factors too. Though it– it still baffles me.

Li: What does?

Finn: How hope could be involved with thomas after everything he did years ago.

Liam: Hey, so I know you, uh, don’t wanna hear this, but it’s not exactly easy to blame xander, right? I mean, thomas is the guy who had us convinced our daughter was dead for month after month after month. I mean, it’s not shocking that someone might also think he had something to do with emma’s death.

Hope: Okay, that is a pretty serious accusation to be throwing about, liam. Thomas was cleared. They dropped the investigation. Okay? And– and that thomas that you’re talking about from back then, that’s the old him.

Liam: Right. I forget that. Yeah, the two thomases. I keep forgetting. The old one, the new one, the good one, the bad one. You’ll forgive me if I have a little bit of trouble believing. What is that? Is that an engagement ring?

Steffy: Thanks for seeing me.

Thomas: Yeah, no, it sounded important, but I don’t have much time.

Steffy: Somewhere you need to be?

Thomas: Yeah, I’m meeting hope at the cabin.

Steffy: Hope can wait. This can’T.

Thomas: What’s on your mind, steff?

Steffy: I just came from seeing finn.

Thomas: Good. Hopefully, you were able to convince him to, you know, stop hanging out with xander and stuff.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, a little late for that.

Thomas: A little late for what?

Steffy: Xander showed up at finn’s office again. He still says that you’re responsible for emma’s death. Attention medicare beneficiaries

Li: Word of advice from your mother. Don’t get too caught up in being hope’s protector. There is a complex history between her and your wife. You don’t want to inadvertently–

Finn: Look, mom, I hear you, okay? But that’s not what this is about.

Li: It’s not? You sure?

Finn: Yes, I’m sure. I mean, yes, of course, I want hope to be safe and happy, but my family is my first priority. Nothing will ever come before them.

Li: As it should be.

Finn: Believe me, I know how lucky I am to be married to steffy, to raise our children with her. I would never do anything to hurt what we have together.

Li: Still, this thing with thomas, whatever it is, if it’s causing tension–

Finn: Not in the way that you think it is. It’s just– look, steffy thinks that her brother has changed and grown, and thomas says that he has changed and grown for the better.

Li: But you’re not convinced.

Finn: Look, I would love nothing more than to tell my wife that she’s right. That her brother is who she thinks he is. But thomas has a checkered past. He has done harmful, hurtful things and I will always be wary of thomas until proven otherwise.

Liam: So, thomas proposed, gave you a ring.

Hope: Yes–

Liam: Only that ring is not where rings go. That ring is on a chain around your neck. Why?

Hope: It’s really none of your business.

Liam: Hey, no matter the status of our relationship, I still care about you and you can still confide in me. So, when did this happen?

Hope: Not long ago.

Liam: Not long ago? Anybody else know? They don’t, do they?

Hope: Okay, I am not discussing this with you anymore, all right?

Liam: Oh, you couldn’t do it. You couldn’t do it. You couldn’t say “yes.”

Hope: Not yet.

Liam: Honestly, between you and me, that thing shouldn’t even be on a chain, much less your finger.

Hope: Hm. That’s not exactly up to you, is it?

Liam: No, clearly not. Clearly not. All I can do is keep the old fingers crossed that one day, somehow, you’ll come to realize how much this relationship with thomas is costing you and get out of it before he hurts you again.

Steffy: I realize how frustrating this is for you. That night on mulholland is rearing its ugly head again.

Thomas: Yes, because xander, for some reason, couldn’t just stay away.

Steffy: Well, he’s back here now, thomas, and he’s making waves.

Thomas: Yeah, he’s definitely got your husband sucked in. I wonder if he’s gonna convince you.

Steffy: What? He’s not gonna do that. Look, I– I support you, I do. Look, what happened to emma, it was an accident. I don’t know why finn keeps pointing the finger at you.

Thomas: Finn blames me for what happened.

Steffy: He has questions. Questions that xander put in his head. I told him not to go there.

Thomas: Right, but he won’t let it go, steff.

Steffy: I– well, finn asked me to come here and… he wanted me to ask you one more time if you knew anything about emma’s death. Xander has these accusations. Are any of them true?

Thomas: He’s right about one thing.

>>Liam: I swear, hope, I would never judge you. I– I– I never have, I never would. I just– you know, just– just think about how many people thomas has hurt. Think about how much he’s hurt you.

Hope: Oh, gosh. Um, hate to break it to you, uh, but thomas isn’t the only one who’s hurt me. Yeah, I haven’t forgotten about that whole, you know, moment of you running to steffy and acting like what we shared meant absolutely nothing to you. So, um, I may have been naive and trying to be– you know what? No. This is not even worth it because we’ve both moved on, right?

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. No, we’ve– we’ve– we’ve moved on. I just, um, it’s just a shame that you’ve moved on with thomas, especially given that xander’s back in town spitting all this truth, and that’s got to be–

Hope: Okay, what xander is saying isn’t true, liam.

Liam: Well, I don’t know.

Hope: No, while thomas, yes, has done horrible things in the past, things that he has regretted, things that he has taken accountability for, being responsible for emma’s death is not one of them. He’s not capable of that, as much as I know you’re not going to be convinced of that.

Liam: Well, you know, what– let me ask you this– why? Why now? Why is xander here? What’s in it for xander?

Hope: Because he has an axe to grind. He was fired from forrester, liam, and more importantly, he was very close to emma. So, while the investigation cleared thomas, xander needs someone to blame and who better than thomas?

Liam: So– just so I understand, in this parable, thomas is the victim?

Hope: That is not what I am saying. That is not what I am saying.

Liam: Kinda sounds like it.

Hope: You’re just committed to misunderstanding me. No, what happened to emma was an accident, not a crime. And I get that you and finn and– and everyone else has your judgment and has your doubts and are trying to protect me. I don’t want it. I don’t need it. Especially not from thomas and that whole period of my life, that dark chapter that everyone just keeps trying to bring up, I am wanting to move past it. So, can we please not go back there again?

Liam: I just hope that you understand that as long as you’re in a relationship with thomas, you’re never gonna be able to move past emma’s death.

Steffy: Xander was right about something?

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: What? Tell me.

Thomas: First, I wanna say how sorry I am about what happened to emma. That she lost her life. The police, they know that she went off the road. They think that she was distracted while driving.

[ Tires squealing, crashing ] The thing that xander has right is that I was a person of interest and I should have been. But I was cleared, and the case was closed. The thing is, is xander won’t let it go. He believes that I intentionally killed emma, and, steffy, I didn’T. I didn’t kill emma, okay? I– I don’t know if she was texting while driving, but no matter what, it was a senseless car accident.

Steffy: Yeah. It– it explains a lot. But not everything. Somehow, the truth needs to come out. All of it, thomas.

Thomas: Yeah, it does. I totally agree.

Liam: Hope, given thomas’s past, don’t you think anything is possible? He knew our little girl was alive. He wanted us to think she was dead and he watched us suffer month after month. If he’s capable of that, I think he’s capable of anything. Even murder.

Nurse: Dr. Finnegan?

Finn: Yeah.

Nurse: I just thought I’d let you know that mr. Forrester’s numbers look good and he’s even cracking jokes.

Finn: That’s– that’s great. Thanks. I appreciate the update.

Nurse: I know how important the forrester family is to you.

Finn: Very important. And eric’s not the only forrester I’m worried about.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I feel terrible about what happened to emma. She had her whole life ahead of her. It was a tragic accident. She lost control of her car, finn. She drove off mulholland, she took the turns too quickly. It wasn’t murder. Thomas did not murder her. So, can you please just get that out of your mind?

Hope: Uh, steffy. I got your email and we can definitely make those adjustments. I do think that, uh… um, but you know what? I– we can schedule this for another time.

Steffy: I’m sorry, I just wasn’t, um… what– what were you saying?

Hope: We don’t have to do this right now. You seem a little distracted. It’s okay. We can…

Steffy: No, it’s, uh, I just, um, I’m a little worried is all.

Hope: About thomas?

Steffy: Yeah, I– I’m worried about his past.’S word so hard to put behind him that could potentially drag him down again.

Luna: Oh, so you were at the hospital?

Rj: Yes, I was. I’m sorry, I meant to call you. My bad.

Luna: No worries. Um, how’s eric doing?

Rj: He– he’s good. He’s doing all right. He’s improving, for sure. He made it a point for me to tell you to say hi.

Luna: Oh.

Rj: Yeah. So, what about you? What were you up to?

Rj: So, did you do anything fun last night?

Luna: Actually, um, look, I don’t want to keep any secrets from you.

Rj: Okay.

Luna: I was with zende.

Rj: Like you were like, were you like working late or something?

Luna: No, um, I thought I was having dinner with you, but turns out, it was with zende. No more secret notes pretending to be rj and no more tricking me into a cheap kiss, okay? You’re a great guy. You’ll find someone.

Zende: It’s too bad rj met you first.

Luna: He did and he stole my heart.

Zende: Rj is a very lucky man.

[ Zende sighing ]

Hope: Uh, steffy, you aren’t implying that I’m dragging your brother down, are you?

Steffy: Well, I didn’t say it was only you, hope. Thomas, we were just talking about you.

Thomas: Oh, yeah?

Steffy: Just saying that uh, all the things that you’ve overcome, I’m really, really proud of you. You’ve earned the right to put all the misfortunes and pain behind you.

Thomas: Well, do you think I’ve been doing a good job of that? A lot of that is thanks to hope. You don’t have to worry about our relationship or anything else from the past. I am focused on the future and all the joys to come.

Rj: So, what you’re telling me is that zende sent you a note pretending to be me.

Luna: Well, no, he didn’t sign his name or anything. I’m the one that jumped to conclusions thinking that it was from–

Rj: Well, no, he knew that you’d assume it was me, right? What the hell is wrong with him? Why is he ambushing you like this?

Luna: Try not to be too upset with him. I mean, it seemed innocent enough.

Rj: Enough? What does enough mean? Luna, what happened? Did he come on to you?

Luna: Look, it’s not a big deal, but he did kiss me on the cheek.

Rj: You! Don’t walk out. You’re pathetic.

Zende: Excuse me?

Rj: You just heard what I said. You are pathetic. You can’t find a girl to kiss you, so you have to kiss my girlfriend?

Thomas: It is a shame that steffy had to leave.

Hope: Right. I mean, I don’t know. I– I just think that, uh, our relationship shouldn’t be anyone else’s business but, you know, ours.

Thomas: Yeah, I agree. Though, yeah, it would be nice to have a little bit of support from some people that we know. Like, between my sister and my mom and your entire family. Uh, yeah, it’d be nice if they would at least acknowledge how much I love you and that I’d do anything for you.

Hope: Well, I think the only opinions that should matter when it comes to us is yours and mine.

Thomas: Hm. Well, my opinion is that you are the smartest, most talented, most beautiful woman that I have ever met. I am so proud to call you mine. I’m so proud to work next to you and I’m thankful for every moment we get to spend together. And I am very much looking forward to that ring coming off the necklace and going on your finger.

Finn: You made it.

Steffy: Yeah. Well, when you text me, I just drop everything and I come right over. Actually, I did have an appointment like right down the street.

Finn: Well, thanks for fitting me in.

Steffy: Yeah, of course. So, what’s going on?

Finn: Um…

Steffy: Is it my grandfather? Is everything okay?

Finn: Oh, no, no. Eric– eric’s doing fine. He’s doing better and better every day.

Steffy: Really?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Thank goodness. Yeah, I just, I don’t know if I could handle A… I mean, with everything going on. My grandfather and thomas, his relationship with hope, or whatever you want to call it. And now xander being back and spreading these lies. I assured thomas that you weren’t going to say anything to anyone.

Finn: Well, actually, that’s– that’s why I texted you. That’s why I wanted to see you. There’s something you need to know. Xander came back. I met with him.

Zende: Relax, okay? It was a friendly thing.

Rj: Oh, it was a friendly thing. So– so it’s friendly for you to invite someone else’s girlfriend to a private dinner and then give them a kiss? Is that– is that friendly for you?

Zende: Rj, I grew up in europe. This is– this was– it’s nothing, okay? Maybe it’s one of those situations where we had to be there to understand the vibe, right luna?

Rj: Oh no, I understand the vibe, zende. You’re right, I wasn’t there, despite what you led her to believe. Are you trying to get to me through luna?

Luna: Okay. Okay, guys, let’s not let this get weird.

Rj: Oh, no, we’re beyond that.

Luna: Okay, I just don’t want you guys fighting over me.

Rj: First of all, you’re not okay with me working with granddad, then you’re not okay with me working with my own father. And now, I find out that you’re kissing my girlfriend?

Zende: Rj, the time I spend with luna really has nothing to do with you.

Rj: It has everything to do with me, zende! You know, this whole situation with granddad made me really realize just how fragile life is. And it’s why I’ve been so patient with you. It’s why I’ve been reaching out to you. That’s why I asked you to work on this collection with me and– and this is how you’re gonna repay me? You know what? My patience has an end. I’m not gonna allow you to make moves on luna. Now, grab your sketchbook and back off.

Hope: I hope you realize how much I appreciate your proposal.

Thomas: I do. And I do wish that you had said yes, but, um, I don’t know, I guess in one way or another, I’m glad you didn’T. I don’t want you agreeing to a wedding you’re not ready for.

Hope: Hm. Yeah. Been down that road before.

Thomas: Oh, yeah. Uh, yeah, we– I have. Though that feels like it was with a different person. Like I– I told you before, I’ll say it again. I felt like I’ve waited my entire life to be married to you, so I can wait a little longer.

Hope: Can you?

Thomas: Maybe.

Steffy: You met with xander? You know how I feel about that.

Finn: Look, it’s not like I planned to. I didn’t seek him out. He called, he wanted to see me.

Steffy: So, hang up! It’s that easy. You don’t have to engage.

Finn: Look, I don’t know what to tell you, steffy. There’s this desperation about him, okay? There seems like there’s a lot more going on. So, yeah, I agreed to meet him.

Steffy: So, why did he want to see you this time? Does he have more accusations against thomas?

Finn: Look, I understand that this is difficult for you and you want to support your brother.

Steffy: No, I want you to be able to support my brother. See that he’s changed. He’s worked really hard to become a better man.

Finn: Why? Because he wasn’t a good man before? Because he did terrible, terrible things, maybe even things that you don’t want to face? Look, but after what xander has said, I’m convinced now more than ever that thomas may be responsible for emma barber’s death.

Rj: I can’t believe him. He’s trying to get to me through you.

Luna: I mean, yeah, I basically said the same thing, but he insisted that that’s not the case.

Rj: I– I didn’t mean to imply. I mean, it just– of course, he thinks you’re hot, you’re hot.

Luna: Don’t worry, my self-esteem is not that bad. I didn’t think that I was only like a pawn in some game. But I don’t know. Maybe it’s a– it’s a little bit of both. Like sure, zende’s attracted to me, but also sticking it to you would make him happy too.

Rj: I just– I don’t get why he’s so jealous. Maybe he’s just jealous because I have you.

Luna: Well, you do realize that I– I never would have met up with him if I had known. I mean, I– I– I genuinely thought that the invitation was from you.

Rj: I know, it’s okay. It’s fine. I actually have a question though. Was the dinner any good at all?

Luna: Well, I did not stick around to find out.

Rj: Good.

Luna: Look, zende is a charming guy, but make no mistake my heart’s with you.

Rj: Love you.

Thomas: You know how much I want you.

Hope: Hm. I want you too. Wow. Thomas.

Thomas: Mm-hmm?

Hope: About the engagement.

Thomas: I know, I know. Not yet. And that’s okay. I can live with that. Really. This– I don’t know, it feels promising. Feels like yes is just around the corner.

Steffy: Finn, you have to drop this.

Finn: Steffy, if he killed an innocent girl then–

Steffy: There was a police investigation and they determined emma died by her own reckless driving.

Finn: Her own or thomas’s? Xander said that thomas was determined to stop emma from telling hope the truth. They were fighting about it at forrester. Emma took off, thomas followed, chasing after her in his car, dangerously tailgating her.

Steffy: How does xander even know this? He wasn’t even there.

Finn: No, he wasn’T. But he seemed certain. And he looked at the security footage. He saw thomas going after her. He even accessed the gps in thomas’s car and figured out that he was there. Thomas was on mulholland.

Steffy: He could have been on his way to brooke’s house. It’s like the same route. It doesn’t mean he was anywhere near emma or maliciously ran her off the road. My god. I mean, emma was a really, really sweet girl. What happened to her was a tragedy, but it was not murder. I know my brother and yes, he has done some shady things in the past, but what xander is saying is not true.

Finn: Yeah, well, but there’s evidence and there’s a lot–

Steffy: Evidence that the police already looked into. They investigated it. Thomas was cleared. Look, this is why I didn’t want you digging all of this stuff up. It’s dangerous.

Finn: Do you think–

Steffy: I am not– I am not saying that thomas is dangerous. I’m saying this situation, xander coming here, spreading all these lies, hope doing whatever it is that she’s doing. It could just– it could trigger him. It could make him more vulnerable and he could backslide.

Finn: Do you think that he could become obsessed again?

Steffy: I hope not. My brother has changed.

Finn: Look, I understand, okay, why you want to believe in him. You are a protective, loving sister and I respect it so much, but you’re wrong.

Steffy: Finn, I don’t want to talk about this–

Finn: No, you need to go to thomas, ask him about emma and get the truth.

Thomas: I’ve worked really hard and it’s wonderful that you see that. I mean, I’ve worked from being the person I was to a completely new human being. And now, finally, I feel like I’m worthy of you. Worthy of your love.

Xander: I’m not making this up. Look, you have to believe me. Thomas is dangerous. He killed someone.

Thomas: I didn’t kill anyone, steff. You know that.

Steffy: Of course, I know that.

Thomas: Then tell finn to back off. To stay out of my relationship with hope and stop listening to xander.

Steffy: Thomas, I understand why you’re upset. I don’t want finn dredging up all the horrible events surrounding emma’s death either.

Rj: You can, uh, you can rest now, granddad. They said they’re all done. That’s all the tests for today.

Eric: Good.

Rj: How are you feeling? You feeling any stronger?

Eric: Stitches… healing. Don’t make me laugh. It’s just so funny looking.

Rj: Well, I can, uh, I can see that your sense of humor, thank god, is still intact.

Eric: Yeah. I hope so.

Zende: You must be confused.

Luna: Yeah, I don’t– I don’t understand. Where’s rj?

Zende: He’s at the hospital. He went to see our grandfather.

Luna: But he– he sent me a note asking me to meet here. You’re saying that was you?

Eric: Glad you’re here

Rj: I just came to check on you. We all really miss you at the office.

Eric: Soon.

Rj: Yeah, soon. Keep progressing the way you are, you’re gonna– you’re gonna walk out of here. Otherwise, we’ll bust you out. All right?

Eric: Yeah.

Rj: But, um, you know, until then I’ll be here. Every day to check on you.

Eric: Love you, rj. Love you.

Rj: Love you too, granddad.

Luna: So it was you.

Zende: I arranged dinner, sent you that note. I hope it’s cool?

Luna: Yeah. No, I just, um, I don’t know, I just assumed that it was from rj.

Zende: I didn’t mean to throw you off. I wasn’t trying to be sneaky or anything. You look beautiful tonight, luna.

Luna: Thank you. Um, angelo was kind enough to let me borrow this dress from the archives.

Zende: It’s not the dress. I can’t take my eyes off of you.

Steffy: Thomas, I completely understand your frustration. And I told finn not to follow up on this. Told him to let it go.

Thomas: Okay, I don’t think he’s gonna let it go, ’cause the way he was talking earlier–

Steffy: No, he will. He’s not gonna bring it up anymore.

Finn: You seem pretty certain about this allegation.

Xander: I am. I wouldn’t be here if it was just a hunch. And– and now thomas and hope are working together? I mean, they’re in a relationship?

Finn: Yeah, I can hardly believe it myself.

Xander: Look, the fact that thomas knew that beth was alive and told no one was bad enough. But believe me, he didn’t stop there.

Finn: Look, I need to know if thomas really is a murderer. Are you absolutely certain?

Eric: Mm.

Rj: Good?

Eric: That’s all, okay.

Rj: Okay.

Eric: Good, thank you.

Rj: No problem. We gotta keep you hydrated so you can get back to drinking those martinis.

Eric: Yeah.

Rj: Mm-hmm.

Eric: Yeah.

Rj: How, um, how about some food? Do you want something to eat? You know, I– I saw the pudding, and the pudding looks… seriously, maybe I can sneak in some pizza, and we just don’t tell anybody about that.

Eric: Rj…

Rj: Yeah?

Eric: How’s luna?

Rj: She’s– she’s good. Yeah. Um, she asks about you all the time. She’s pulling for you.

Eric: The two of you are…

Rj: We’re– we’re great. Yeah. Better than ever.

Eric: I knew it.

[ Laughs ]

Luna: I know what you’re doing, zende.

Zende: Having dinner with a gorgeous woman?

Luna: No, I just– this whole competitive vibe with rj.

Zende: About work, maybe.

Luna: No, about everything.

Zende: Nah.

Luna: So you’re not using me to try to get back at rj?

Zende: No, I swear, I’m not. I really enjoyed getting to know you, luna. And I just wanna get to know you a little bit better. Dance with me?

Luna: What? In these shoes?

Zende: Then take them off.

Luna: What am I gonna do with you?

Zende: I can think of a few things. But seriously, I mean, there’s nothing wrong with the two of us having dinner together. All right, all right. I get it. Rj is the golden child. Ridge junior. The son of brooke logan and ridge forrester.

Luna: Come on. Rj does not use the nepo baby card. He’s so modest and down to earth. Besides, you guys are cousins. You should be figuring out a way to be friends with each other. Look, rj does not want any problems with you, and neither do I. Okay? I like you, zende, but… I have to go.

Zende: Aww, don’t leave.

Luna: Look, I’m dating rj.

Zende: Technically that means you’re still single, right? So am I. Oh, come on. Just stay, hang out. Enjoy the evening. Everything I have planned.

Steffy: I told finn that xander’s probably making these accusations to get back at you.

Thomas: Do you know how painful it is to know that your husband thinks I could intentionally kill someone?

Steffy: I made it clear to finn that it was a horrible accident. One I wish we could put behind us.

Thomas: Right. But now he’s throwing gasoline on the flames.

Steffy: This isn’t finn’s fault. He didn’t intentionally go out to seek xander. They met by chance.

Thomas: So xander says. But either way, finn is listening to some random guy instead of his brother-in-law.

Steffy: He’s just protective of me, thomas.

Thomas: Steffy, he told me that he believes I’m a bad person. And now he’s listening to some random stranger who obviously has it out for me.

Steffy: Finn met xander by accident. Once. Okay? It is never gonna happen again.

Finn: How dangerous is thomas?

Xander: I mean, is there anything worse than ending someone’s life? Look, I’m telling you, there’s no limits with thomas, dr. Finnegan.

Finn: No, just– just call me finn.

Xander: Finn… thomas will do anything to protect his own interests. And now I see that he’s getting closer with hope. And I’ve read all the stuff online. It just gives me the creeps looking at the guy. I don’t know what she sees in him. I’ve always admired hope. She’s got everything going for her. You know, she’s smart, beautiful, successful. I don’t know what the hell she’s thinking.

Finn: Well, like my wife, hope buys into this new and improved thomas.

Xander: Yeah. I don’t know, man. I’m worried about her.

Finn: Yeah, me too. But since I wasn’t around back then, I’m not trying to rush into any judgment. I’m trying to keep an open mind, so you need to tell me what happened. The details. Give me the details. What exactly happened the night emma barber died?

Your heart is

the beat of life.

If you have heart failure,

Rj: So, um, I guess you could say that luna and I are getting a little more serious.

Eric: Nice. Nice.

[ Rj chuckles ]

Rj: Yeah, she’S… she’s perfect. She’s just– she’s so supportive and– and she asks about how you’re doing all the time. How I’m doing. She’s just there with me every second. And just– and just thoughtful and– and loving. It’s great. It’s really great. It’s nice having someone I can– I can count on, you know?

Eric: She’s a great girl.

Rj: I agree. 1,000%. I’m lucky to have her. Honestly.

[ Laughs ] I, uh… I like where it’s headed.

Zende: Dinner will be ready shortly. My favorite restaurant in san francisco.

Luna: This is sweet, zende. And I appreciate all of this. But… I can’t have dinner with you.

Zende: Because of rj?

Luna: Yes, because of rj.

Zende: Are you sure? Well… if I can’t have dinner with you… you can at least tell me who the better kisser is.

Luna: I can’t tell you that. I haven’t kissed you. You’re crazy.

Zende: And you’re breathtaking.

Luna: Thank you. And look, I’m flattered. And I have to admit that it’s nice having two incredible forrester guys show interest in me.

Zende: It can’t be too surprising.

Luna: Well, this whole experience, I mean, interning here. The people I’ve met. Getting invited to a romantic dinner like this. I mean, it’s– it’s all beyond my wildest dreams. But rj and I are…

Zende: Engaged? Married?

Luna: No. But I’m happy with rj, and I love him.

Thomas: I don’t want any bad blood with your husband, but now he’s trying to come between me and hope.

Steffy: Finn probably felt obligated to tell hope after what he heard.

Thomas: Okay, well, now he’s crossing a line though. He’s fanning the flames. And– and hope knows about emma’s death and how much of a tragedy it was. But I don’t need finn coming in and saying some crazy things about me.

Steffy: I hear you.

Thomas: Finn’s worried about what I’ll do to hope. Seriously? Me? I love hope and I never want to hurt her.

Steffy: I trust you, thomas.

Thomas: I know, and I know that you have issues with hope and me, our relationship, but… this is about bringing up emma’s death. Okay? I– I had nothing to do with that.

Steffy: Look, I told finn he can no longer communicate with xander. I’m on your side. Okay? I believe in you.

Thomas: Thank you, steff.

Steffy: Yeah.

Xander: The night that emma died, um… look, okay, I’ve– I’ve put together things that I heard from that night. Things that I saw and that I know. And, um, this is how I think it went down. Emma confronted thomas at forrester.

Emma: Shouldn’t steffy know the truth?

Thomas: My sister is her mother.

Emma: No, she’s not. Hope is her mother!

Thomas: Will you keep your voice down?

Xander: Told him that she wouldn’t keep his secret any longer.

Emma: You can’t stop me from telling her.

Xander: So thomas threatened her.

Thomas: This is none of your business. Don’t push me, emma. I am dead serious.

Xander: When she refused to be intimidated, that’s when she ran off to tell hope that her baby was still alive. That’s when thomas followed her.

Finn: So emma was driving to hope’s to reveal the truth about what thomas had done?

Xander: Yeah. But thomas made sure that emma never got there.

Eric: Rj… hang on to luna.

Rj: Oh… [ Chuckles ] I definitely will. Absolutely. I… cherish every single second I get to spend with her. It’s not every day a girl like her comes into your life, you know?

Eric: That’s right.

Rj: This whole experience with you, you know, getting sick, how hard that’s been… it just really showed me how valuable it was to just have luna there in my corner.

Luna: I’m just not used to this kind of attention.

Zende: I find that hard to believe. I mean, look at you.

Luna: Well, I was actually in the chess club in high school, so…

Zende: No. I was too.

Luna: Really?

Zende: Yeah. We’ll have to play together sometime.

Luna: Yeah, maybe.

Zende: Okay. Okay, I won’t push.

Luna: Thanks. And I really do hope that you’ll respect my feelings for rj.

Zende: I will.

Luna: I will have to tell him about this though.

Zende: About what? That we spent some time in the salon together? Some candles and music and a little impromptu kiss on the cheek? You have to admit it was a pretty good cheek kiss.

Luna: I’m chill. But all good things must come to an end, right?

Zende: Should I take that as a sign of encouragement?

Luna: Zende, I’m your friend. Okay? So no more secret notes pretending to be rj and no more tricking me into a cheek kiss. Okay? You’re a great guy. You’ll find someone.

Zende: It’s too bad rj met you first.

Luna: He did. And he stole my heart.

Zende: Rj is a very lucky man.

Thomas: What more do I have to prove, steff?

Steffy: You just keep doing what you’re doing.

Thomas: Look, I– I was in a dark place in the past, but I found therapy, right? And– and– and ways to center myself, practices. And I continue to do those practices. I’m a new person now, steff.

Steff: You just stay on that path, all right?

Thomas: I will. Look, I have turned my life around. I have made amends. I’m dedicated to being a good man, a good father. But your husband, he doesn’t believe that. He looks at me like I’m some kind of monster. Why can’t he just show me the– the tiniest bit of grace or– or understanding?

Steffy: I get it. I do.

Thomas: Then call him off. I just want peace.

Steffy: I want that too. Emma’s death is a very dangerous, volatile subject. It is very important that finn leaves it alone.

Xander: Like I said, I wasn’t there, but in my mind, I’m certain of how it went down. Thomas chased after emma in his car.

Emma: What are you doing?

Xander: Forced her to drive fast on mulholland. Mulholland, it’s a winding road and it was dark. I’m sure emma was terrified.

Emma: Get off my bumper, you idiot!

Xander: Thomas dangerously tailing her…

[ Tires squealing ] …Right on her bumper.

Finn: What, you think thomas ran her off the road?

Xander: Like I said, I– I wasn’t there, but… when you put the pieces together.

Finn: I mean, yeah. It’s no secret that thomas is a man with issues.

Xander: Look, thomas threatened us. He bullied us. I knew emma, okay? She was a cautious driver. The only thing that got her killed was trying to tell hope the truth about beth.

Finn: Okay, yes, but there was a police investigation, and they found no foul play.

Xander: It was ruled an accidental death, but I know better. I saw the security footage from forrester. I saw thomas running to his car, chasing after emma. He went after her. I knew it. So I checked his gps system. Oh, my god. He was at the scene of the accident that night.

Finn: You’re sure?

Xander: Positive. But thomas weaseled his way out of the investigation somehow.

Finn: But you still believe he’s guilty?

Xander: Without a doubt. And as much as your wife and the rest of her family doesn’t want to believe it, thomas is a murderer. He’s responsible for emma’s death, so what are we gonna do about it, finn? We need to put an end to thomas once and for all.

[dramatic music ]

Thomas: You’re putting me on notice? “As long as I live and breathe, you’ll never be with Hope.” Really? You think Hope deserves better than me?

Finn: She deserves a normal, stable relationship with a guy that she can trust and depend on.

Thomas: Hope trusts me.

Finn: Yeah. And I’m saying she shouldn’t.

---

Finn: What aren’t you telling me? No. Look, I– I understand that Thomas has done a lot of terrible things in the past, and even I wouldn’t have thought murder. Is your brother more dangerous than I realized?

---

Poppy: Your text said you were swamped. Too busy to get outta the office?

Luna: Um, yeah.

Poppy: Um, why do I feel like I’ve been lured into a trap?

Luna: Okay. So maybe I may have taken advantage of your maternal instincts a little bit.

Poppy: Okay. So you weren’t dying for a chai latte?

Luna: No. I am dying to know how your date went with Bill Spencer.

---

Poppy: It was lovely reconnecting with Bill.

Luna: Wait, so he was right? You two really did know each other?

Poppy: Mm. From years ago.

Luna: But he never forgot you.

Poppy: No, he thought he recognized me, and he did. You know, which isn’t surprising, given how many people I meet on the craft fair circuit.

Luna: Really? Bill Spencer doesn’t seem like a craft fair type.

Poppy: All right, fine. It was at a music festival. Okay. But– but decades ago, you know. Which reminds me, I’m setting up a booth at the farmer’s market in Malibu this weekend. Do you wanna help me? Like old times?

Luna: Wait, I thought you were gonna take a break after the holidays.

Poppy: Well, if you don’t want to–

Luna: No, no, no. I’d love to. Can RJ come with?

Poppy: Of course, he can. You really care about him.

Luna: Yeah. I could go on and on about RJ all night.

Poppy: You know what? Great idea. Let’s go to dinner and you can talk my ear off about him over enchiladas mole.

Luna: Ooh.

Poppy: Yes. What is it, honey?

Luna: Um… well, I think you’re gonna be having enchiladas without me. “Dinner in the salon. One hour. Can’t wait to see you.”

Poppy: Hm.

[ Luna laughs ]

RJ: Hey.

Zende: What do you want, RJ?

RJ: Listen, I just– I– I just want you to hear me out on something, okay?

Zende: Don’t you have some big important work to be doing with your father?

RJ: Come on. Really? Don’t– don’t be like that. I just, I came in here to tell you that I get it. I get it. I– I get that you wanted to be the one to work with my dad and finish Granddad’s line. And I’m telling you that you can still do that. We can all work together on this.

Zende: Oh, you’re inviting me to join your project.

RJ: I’m just saying that we’re all, you know, we’re– we could all work together. Why not? We– we all wanna honor Granddad, so let’s do that.

Zende: Okay, great. RJ, just tell me one thing. Does your dad need you to draw for him like Granddad did?

RJ: Do? No. What?

Zende: Because that’s what you are. You are a draftsman. I’m a designer.

---

Xander: I know it sounds crazy and I’m sure you don’t wanna believe that your brother-in-law’s capable of something like this, but Thomas, he’s… he’s not a good guy. You should be very careful with him.

Finn: You’re– you’re saying Thomas murdered somebody?

---

Thomas: I really wish you didn’t feel that way. I’ve proven for a long time that I’m not that person anymore. No one has to worry about Hope with me. No one has to protect Hope from me.

Finn: Are you sure about that, Thomas? Because the things that I’m hearing are making me wonder.

Thomas: I understand. But you’re not listening to what I’m saying. You’re not watching my actions. Look, Hope and I, we’ve– we’ve grown so much closer. We’re so much more connected than we were before. We’re really a couple. I’m looking forward to a relationship with her. She is my future.

Finn: You felt that way before, Thomas. She didn’t.

Thomas: I’m not a threat to Hope or to anyone. Not anymore. And I get it. Look, Xander’s coming in here and he’s telling you this story about Emma and her car accident, and it’s gotta trip you up. I get that. But remember who I am. I’m your kid’s uncle. We’re family, man. We should be on the same side. I– I really hope you can believe me. Don’t let Xander come in and drive a wedge between us. And please, please, do not drive a wedge between Hope and me.

Luna: Dinner in the salon.

Poppy: It’s very romantic. And being invited like this, so much sweeter than a text.

Luna: Yeah. Well, and that’s RJ making sure everything’s perfect. Oh, god. But the dinner’s gonna be like super fancy, too. I can’t show up like this.

Poppy: What? You look fantastic.

Luna: No, no. I’m dressed for work. Okay. This is like a let’s-go-and grab-burgers-after kind of outfit. It’s not a secret-note-through-the-door kind of outfit. What am I gonna wear? I don’t have time to go back home.

Poppy: Fortunately, you work at a fashion house.

---

RJ: I’m just trying to find some common ground here, Zende. That’s all I’m trying to do, man.

Zende: No, what you’re trying to do is make me feel okay with you finishing Granddad’s collection.

RJ: Yes. Obviously. And– and you’re not.

Zende: RJ, I support your interest in design. I think it’s great that you wanna be part of the family business. I know how much it means to Ridge and to Granddad, but this collection is different.

RJ: How is it different? Grand– Granddad said that I could handle this.

Zende: You were his assistant, not his protégé.

RJ: Oh, we’re gonna go back to this again? I thought you understood when you found out about Granddad’s condition, Zende.

Zende: Listen, his condition is the most important thing right now. Nothing is more important than Granddad’s recovery.

RJ: I agree with that. So, what could be better for him right now than seeing all of us pull together?

Zende: I did not understand why Granddad chose you to be on his team for the showdown. I didn’t know the whole story. Now, I do. But it doesn’t change the fact that you have been given more opportunity around here than everyone else. And we all know why. ‘Cause you are the golden child, Ridge, Jr.

---

Steffy: Xander isn’t as innocent as you think. He was part of the whole baby Beth lie.

Finn: So, you think he’s making these accusations against Thomas as payback?

Steffy: That’s exactly what I think. Look, what happened to Emma, it was terrible, but it was an accident. I will tell you it again. Thomas is not to blame, so drop it, okay?

---

Finn: I am not gonna debate this with you, Thomas.

Thomas: Well, we probably should ’cause you have it all wrong.

Finn: Okay. Look, I’m– I’m trying to figure out the truth.

Thomas: You’re not gonna get that from Xander.

Finn: Or from you. Am I, Thomas?

[ Phone chimes ]

Finn: You’re very smooth. You deflect my questions. But Xander didn’t come to my office to start trouble. He was stunned when he realized that I was married to Steffy and related to you.

Thomas: Xander’s wrong. His accusations are false. And Hope, she’s not some damsel in distress. She can make her own decisions about who is in her life.

Finn: And she’s making the wrong one with you.

---

RJ: I’m not gonna apologize to you because I’m Ridge and Brooke’s son, Zende.

Zende: You need to know what that means. The leg up it gives you.

RJ: I know the leg up that it gives me. I know how lucky I am. It was incredible, all the time I got to spend with Granddad. I’m not taking a single second of this for granted.

Zende: It’s not luck, RJ. It’s who you are.

RJ: Who I am? You are a Forrester, Zende. We’re both Forresters. What’s your argument?

Zende: You do not have the chops to work on a historic collection like this. That’s it.

RJ: Well, may– maybe I– I don’t, but I– I– I’ve learned a lot from Granddad. I learned hell of a lot from him. I– I–

Zende: Listen, you spent a few weeks learning from the master and now you feel entitled to help finish his collection? What am I saying? Entitled? Of course, you are. You are doing exactly what a Ridge Forrester does best. Flirting with the interns, camping out in the CEO office, walking around with your noses–

RJ: Stop it! You know what? I’ve been– I’ve been trying to see this from your side the whole time, and now, I’m done. Okay. Good luck, Zende. I have plans.

---

Poppy: This is the one.

Luna: You think?

Poppy: Mm-hmm.

Luna: Angela was nice enough to let me borrow it.

Poppy: You look stunning.

Luna: Well, I hope RJ feels the same way.

Poppy: You’re gonna take his breath away. RJ is one lucky guy.

Luna: Mom, I have never met anyone like RJ. I mean, he’s the most thoughtful, empathetic person ever. I mean, if he really cares about someone or something, you can tell. And he puts his heart into everything. I mean, his work and his family, but especially with his surprises. I’m talking chocolates, lunches, uh, flowers. He just, he pays attention to every detail.

Poppy: You two are having quite the effect on each other. The way you talk about him, you sound like a girl in love. Good for you. Enjoy it.

Luna: Mom, I’ve been waiting my entire life for a guy like RJ.

---

Thomas: Your timing of texting is excellent.

Steffy: Oh, I’m sorry. Why? Did I pull you away from something?

Thomas: No, I was just getting an earful from your husband.

---

Xander: Your assistant said I could come in.

Finn: Shut the door.

Xander: Thanks for seeing me again, Dr. Finnegan. To be honest, I wasn’t sure that you would.

Finn: Yeah, I was surprised. I thought our first meeting would be our last.

Xander: Right. Right. Sorry, it’s just, um, after seeing that picture and, you know, everything with Thomas, it just kinda freaked me out a little.

Finn: No, to be honest, what you told me about Thomas freaked me out, too.

Xander: So, you believe me?

Finn: Right now, I don’t know what to believe.

Xander: Because I– I mean, I’d understand if you– if you didn’t. I’m just some guy that walked into your office, told you something horrible about your family. But I– I promise I’m telling the truth.

Finn: Can you prove it?

Xander: Beyond reasonable doubt? No. Neither could the cops. I mean, that’s why Thomas isn’t in jail, but he should be. But Doctor, I’m telling you, Thomas is dangerous. And he’s responsible for Emma Barbara’s death.

RJ: Hi. Uh, where’s Granddad?

Nurse: Downstairs getting some tests.

RJ: Oh, okay. How’s, uh, how’s– how’s he doing? Is he– is he doing okay?

Nurse: Getting stronger every day.

RJ: Glad to hear it.

Nurse: If you can wait, I know he’d be happy to see you. You’re a wonderful grandson to visit so often.

---

Luna: Zende.

Zende: Hi.

Luna: Hi.

Zende: You look fantastic.

Luna: Thanks. Uh, have you seen RJ?

Zende: No, I haven’t.

Luna: Oh, I– I was supposed to meet him here.

Zende: Are you sure?

Luna: Yeah. He, uh, slipped me a note.

Zende: “Dinner in the salon. One hour. Can’t wait to see you.” I’m so glad you’re here, Luna. I’m really looking forward to our evening together.

---

Steffy: You were with Finn?

Thomas: Yeah. I overheard him bashing me to Hope.

Steffy: Bashing you.

Thomas: He told her that she hasn’t been herself lately. That I have been corrupting her, and that she’s just been lashing out since we’ve been together.

Steffy: You want me to disagree?

Thomas: Yeah. That’d be nice to have, you know, some family support.

Steffy: Well, I– I don’t think you’re corrupting Hope, but she’s changed. Finn isn’t wrong about that.

Thomas: He told Hope that she deserves a one-woman man, but not me. He looked her directly in the eyes and said that I’m not good enough for her. Especially after hearing Xander’s accusations against me.

---

Xander: I understand if you don’t wanna believe that Thomas is capable of murder and that you’re worried about Hope. I mean, you should be. It seems like she’s getting closer and closer with Thomas and… I’m sorry. Are they seriously in a relationship? You know, they’re– they’re working together. He’s– he’s the lead designer. Is that true?

Finn: No, I’m– I’m concerned, too.

Xander: Okay. Then tell me that you’ll listen to me. Emma was an innocent young woman with her whole life ahead of her until Thomas ran her off Mulholland Drive. He couldn’t risk Hope knowing the truth about Beth and was willing to do anything to make sure that Emma didn’t tell her that her child was alive.

Finn: Okay, Xander, understand that’s a very serious accusation.

Xander: Look, that’s why I’m back here, to make you– look, I don’t care if– if the investigation is over, okay? Thomas threatened me, and I know what he’s capable of. He’s capable of murder.

---

Thomas: Please, Steff, you may not wanna hear it, but I love Hope and I believe that she loves me, too. We could have a wonderful relationship together, and think about how amazing that would be for Douglas. He would love it so much. So please, talk to Finn. Convince him I’m not a threat. Don’t let him interfere in my relationship with Hope.
