Liam: Do you think maybe, uh,ut t with the forrester pilot again just to see, like, if you know, like there’s like an update or something.

Steffy: It hasn’t been that long since I spoke to him. He said he would get back to me once the repairs are done. And he said it’s– it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be fixed tonight, so.

Liam: Dude, it was supposed to be just like a quick trip. There and back, they go, they have the meeting and then they’re on a flight back to L.A.

Steffy: Okay, but who knew that the forrester jet would have mechanical problems?

Liam: I know. She was supposed to be home by now and now it looks like she’s gonna spend the night there with him?

Steffy: Okay, liam, I know it’s not ideal, but it’s not the end of the world.

Liam: If thomas behaves himself.

Steffy: There’s no reason to think he won’T.

Liam: I don’t know, could be a bit of a temptation. Your brother, my wife. Together, hundreds of miles away alone for the night. I don’t even like the fact that my mind is going there, but it’s going there and I have to admit it and I just, you know, like there’s a lot– there’s so many things I can forgive but not that, you know, never, never that.

Thomas: You are the most principled and– and moral person I’ve ever met. You’re nothing like your mother. You love your family. You always wanna be with liam and– and nothing is gonna come between you two.

Hope: Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.

Thomas: [ Laughs ] Here.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Heartbeat thumping ]

Liam: I should have seen this coming.

Steffy: No one could have predicted that the jet would break down.

Liam: Not the– not the jet breaking down, but I– I could have predicted that things like this would start to happen if hope brought thomas back to work on her line.

Steffy: What are you talking about?

Liam: There’s always gonna be business trips. There’s always gonna be these special, personal appearances that hope has to make to promote her line. I mean, it’s naive to think that thomas wouldn’t want to tag along every chance he gets.

Steffy: Whoa, liam. That’s not what happened. The buyers wanted to see thomas. He didn’t just horn in to be around hope.

Liam: That– I’m not saying that’s what happened this time. I’m saying– let’s say his obsession with hope kicks in again. Okay, this is– this is exactly the kind of opportunity that he could seize upon. They’re in san francisco.

Steffy: Okay, liam, I am telling you, thomas is not gonna be an issue when it comes to hope.

Liam: You really believe that?

Steffy: I really believe that.

Liam: So, I have– I have nothing to worry about? Nothing at all.

Steffy: Hope, tell me the truth. You have feelings for him.

[ Heart beating ]

[ Phone chiming ]

Hope: It’s trevor.

Thomas: Okay.

Hope: Hi. Hi. Any news?

Trevor: Yes. Good news. We were finally able to get all the mechanical issues fixed.

Hope: Okay. So, the jet’s all set to go?

Trevor: I’m sorry about the delay, but we are a go. And hope? Did you hear me? As soon as you get to the airport, we’ll be ready to go.

Hope: Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thomas and I will be there soon. Special k is oven-toasted to crisp perfection

Steffy: Okay. Okay. I have tried to reassure you every way I know how about my brother, but I really don’t know what else I can say.

Liam: I know. I know. Hey, I do have a certain psychiatrist you would totally get along with because taylor had plenty to say about how thomas has changed and he’s not the same person. He’s been doing work on himself and that change is real and lasting and important.

Steffy: Yeah? Did my mom– did she sway you?

[ Blows raspberry ]

Liam: No, she didn’t sway me. But I do understand why she thinks I’m the one being unreasonable.

Steffy: Look, my mom respects you. And you’re right to feel the way that you do.

Liam: Listen, I get it. It’s like you, your mom, your dad, your whole family, even hope. I mean, like literally everybody thinks I just need to get over myself and accept that thomas has changed.

Steffy: Thomas is just trying to be his best self. New and improved thomas forrester. There’s no hint of him backsliding.

Liam: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: I don’t believe he’s gonna initiate anything.

Liam: Well, he better not because he’s already created a lot of friction in my marriage and I’m not gonna let anything come between us. Especially not him.

Hope: So, the jet’s ready to go. So, we should get ready to head to the airport.

Thomas: Sure. Um, do you wanna call liam? I’m sure he’ll be relieved knowing you’ll be home tonight.

Hope: Right, yeah. Of course.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Phone beeps ]

Liam: Hey, you okay?

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. The pilot just called and they fixed the jet.

Liam: Are you flying home tonight?

Hope: Yep.

Liam: Good.

Hope: Good. I’m anxious to get home.

Liam: Yeah. No kidding. It’s– it’s been, what? Less than a day and it just feels like so much longer than that.

Hope: Well, I love you and I can’t wait to be in your arms again.

Liam: I like the sound of that. Um… I love you too. Uh… be safe and I’ll see you soon.

Steffy: They’re on their way back?

Liam: Yeah. So that’s– hey! Don’t have to have that in my head for the rest of the night. Hopefully, right?

Steffy: It’s great. I’m telling you, thomas is doing the work as a designer, as a co-parent, for douglas. Thomas isn’t the one you should be concerned about.

Steffy: He has his hat on straight.

Liam: I really wanna believe that.

Thomas: All right, I texted the front desk and cancelled that other room. Got everything?

Hope: I think so. You?

Thomas: Think so.

Hope: Good, I’m glad we were able to go home tonight.

Thomas: Home to your husband and family. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Finn: You– you relax. I already put the kids down. I whipped up a light dinner, the two of us and we can eat after you–

Steffy: Thank you.

Finn: Unwind.

Steffy: What did I do to deserve being married to such an incredible husband? Really?

Finn: I’m sure you’ll show your appreciation later.

Steffy: Oh, you best believe it.

Finn: So your text said you were at spencer publications?

Steffy: Yeah, I– I needed to talk to liam.

Finn: About eye on fashion?

Steffy: No, about um, hope and thomas. I was just… checking in on him about their business trip to san francisco.

Finn: Oh, yeah. Is liam doing any better with that? He didn’t seem too thrilled when it came up. Yeah, he was even less than thrilled when hope called and said that she wasn’t gonna make it back tonight.

Finn: What do you mean? There was something wrong with the jet. Some kind of like malfunction and they weren’t sure if they’re gonna be able to fix it and– anyways, it looked like hope and thomas were gonna spend the night in san francisco.

Finn: Wow. Wait. Oh, so, your brother and hope alone together overnight.

[ Chuckles ] I can only imagine how liam reacted to that.

[ Steffy sighs ] We all know he doesn’t trust your brother.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. Liam can’t get past everything that thomas has done. He keeps thinking that thomas is going to revert to his old ways.

Finn: So, did they make it back to L.A. At least?

Steffy: Uh, yeah, they’re– the plane’s fixed and they’re on their way now.

Finn: Okay, good. So no harm, no foul, liam can relax.

Steffy: Yeah. Um, actually, there’s more.

Finn: Concerning liam and thomas?

Steffy? No. Concerning hope.

Wyatt: I mean, should we tell dad about the final numbers? What do you think he’s gonna say? You know, I know he said he liked the company and that he wanted us to pull the trigger and– and you know, lock it in and everything. It’s just, I don’t know. Are we moving too fast? I mean, are we not seeing something here? Are we overlooking anything that could be like a problem for the company later on? I’m just not– I don’t know. I’m freaking out here. Liam?

Liam: Yo.

Wyatt: Hey!

Liam: Hey.

Wyatt: I could use your feedback here. Is there something we’re overlooking that could come back and bite us in the butt later?

Liam: Um, yeah. I just, um– I don’t see anything. Really. Like– what are you doing?

Wyatt: This isn’t even the document I’m talking about right now! This is the page that we’re on. Can you please keep up? I’m gonna have to hold you down and force feed you red meat.

Liam: It’s kind of a funny joke.

Wyatt: Okay.

Liam: What– what do you, why are you getting all heavy?

Wyatt: What is it?

Liam: There’s not– what?

Wyatt: What is it? What’s got you distracted right now?

Liam: Well–

Wyatt: You can tell me because I’ll just give you some sage brotherly advice like I always do and then we can get back to our little $80 million acquisition, huh? What do you think about that? What? Is it hope and thomas again? Are they spending late nights at the office or something? This is getting really old–

Liam: They’re not at the office. They’re not even in town.

Wyatt: Wait, what?

Liam: Yeah, thomas and my wife are in san francisco together right now.

Trevor: Apologies again for the delay.

Hope: Oh, no, it’s totally okay, trevor. We understand.

Thomas: Yeah, these things happen sometimes. It’s nobody’s fault.

Hope: We’re just grateful that the issue’s been fixed and we can head home.

Trevor: Okay. Well, we’ll be in the air momentarily and I promise I will get you both home safely, asap. I can imagine you can’t wait to see your families, right?

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: Thanks. So…

Hope: So.

Thomas: Boss. Congratulations on a very, very successful trip. I mean, the buyers could not have been more impressed.

Hope: Well, I think there’s no denying what they said. Which is that we make a pretty impressive team. Partial response:

Wyatt: Well, look, all’s well, that ends well, right? The jet’s fixed. Hope will be back tonight, probably in time to put the kids to bed and you for that matter.

Liam: Yeah, well, here’s hoping.

Wyatt: Look, man, I know this is your worst nightmare here. Your wife being stranded in another city with the guy who’s literally been obsessing over her for several years.

Liam: Yeah. No, I know. But, well, thankfully, uh, he behaved himself and didn’t take advantage, so. Yay.

Wyatt: That’s good. You know, that for sure? I never know anything for sure, but… hope would have told me if he’d tried anything.

Wyatt: Well, I bet he was tempted though, right?

Liam: Yeah, his sister would beg to differ.

Wyatt: Steffy. What does she have to do with it?

Liam: Sorry, she was– she was here earlier and you know, obviously she’s team thomas all the way, you know.

Wyatt: Why? Because they’re family?

Liam: [ Laughs ] No. I mean, yeah, they’re family and that makes a difference. But no, she’s always been pretty, uh, I don’t know, she’s got a good read on thomas. She’s always objective. She– she doesn’t make excuses for his behavior. She calls him out. And so, it’s kind of different. Like when steffy says that he’s a changed man–

Wyatt: You’ve gotta believe her?

Liam: I was gonna say I feel even more alone. But…

Finn: You know, we don’t have to talk about hope or thomas or liam when we’re alone like this together. We get such little time to ourselves as it is. But I can see you’re still distracted. So, lay it on me. What is it? Something about hope you said?

Steffy: Actually, liam. Something he said.

Finn: What, when you two were together earlier?

Steffy: Yeah. He said if– if hope ever crossed the line with thomas, he wouldn’t be able to forgive her.

Finn: Okay. Yeah, well, I get where liam is coming from, but that’s not gonna be an issue, right? ‘Cause you trust your brother, he’s not gonna get fixated on hope again. So, this is all– wait, what is it? Babe? What aren’t you telling me? What is it?

Steffy: What I didn’t say to liam is that… it’s not thomas he should be concerned about. It’s hope.

Thomas: You okay?

Hope: Yeah, it’s just my neck. It’s seizing up. I think it’s from the stress of everything.

Thomas: Oh, yeah, I get that all the time. You’re feeling it up here, but it’s actually right here. Yeah. You feel that knot?

Hope: Yeah.

[ Heart beating ]

[ Speaker beeping ]

Trevor: We’ll be starting our descent soon. Please prepare for landing.

Thomas: Hey, you heard him. Soon, hope. You’ll be home soon.

Liam: Yeah, that’s great. ‘Cause th– right, ’cause those were all my concerns. So, um… tell you what. Why– why don’t I have legal just draw up the contract tonight, and then tomorrow, I’ll have a– a messenger bring you a hard copy. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Bye-bye. Well, hello, there. So much prettier than wyatt.

Steffy: Are you busy?

Liam: Uh, no, that was– that was my last call for the day. What are you doin’ here?

Steffy: I forgot to give you kelly’s wristband, she wears it for all her soccer games and bailey has the same one, and they’re at the stage where they like to match.

Liam: Yep. Yep. Aww, that’s cute. I could have picked this up on my way home, you didn’t have to come all the way here, though.

Steffy: I– I just– I just wanted to check in with you, see if you heard anything from hope and thomas about their business trip to san francisco.

Hope: So as you can see, we are very excited about this collection.

Thomas: Well, I, for one, believe in staying a step ahead of the clientele, and giving them what they didn’t know they needed.

Hope: And we hope that we have made believers out of you.

Buyer #1: Indeed. It was a convincing presentation of a beautiful collection.

Buyer #2: Some of the best work hope for the future has ever produced.

Hope: Well, we– we like to think so.

Thomas: Yeah.

Buyer #1: You two make an incredible team.

Buyer #2: We’re very happy you’re back, spearheading the line.

Hope: I couldn’t agree more.

Liam: You’re asking me if I have any information on a forrester meeting? Aren’t you the ceo?

Steffy: That is true, but I just thought you may have heard from hope before me.

Liam: Uh, no.

[ Phone chiming ]

Liam: Oh? Speaking of.

Steffy: It’s hope?

Liam: Mm-hmm. “The meeting just wrapped, went great!” Exclamation point. “Thomas and I are heading to the jet soon. We will be on our way home. Love you.” Cool. Well, that’s best-case-scenario, right? Success and she’s outta there.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I’m glad to hear it.

Liam: Hmm.

Steffy: Not just because the pitch went well, but also, uh, hope and thomas flying out together was a little concerning for you.

Liam: Whatever. She’s on her way home now, it’s all I care about.

Thomas: Have a good one.

Buyer #1: Thank you.

Hope: Did that go as well as I think it did?

Thomas: It couldn’t have gone better.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. We– were amazing. You were amazing. All that forrester charm?

Thomas: You were, uh, awesome! You were compelling, you were passionate. You’re irresistible. I mean, look, I– I– I think we just expanded our reach dramatically.

Hope: I know. I know, I’m feeling pretty good about it. Oh, thomas, thank you. Thank you again. I mean, I– I’ve seen all the hard work that you’ve put into the designs and now this presentation, it just– it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Thomas: Thank you for giving me a chance to actually prove myself.

[ Phone chiming ]

Hope: Uh… oh, it’s the pilot.

Thomas: Oh, I thought he was– we were supposed to call him, right?

Hope: Um, hey, trevor. You– you actually have both of us here, and good timing, and we just finished up with the meeting.

Thomas: Hey.

Trevor: Apologies, but I’m afraid we’re having some mechanical issues.

Crew’s doing everything

they can, but… there’s a chance that we might not get out tonight. I’ll keep you posted.

[ Phone beeps ]

[ Thomas sighing ]

Hope: Come on.

Thomas: I know. Look, I– I know you want to get home to liam, I just… feel terrible. No two bodies are the same.

Hope: I can’t believe this. I mean, of course! Of course the jet is having mechanical issues when I happen to be here with you. I mean, liam is going to love this.

Thomas: Okay, but it’s a non-issue if I can get you on a commercial flight, right?

Hope: Yeah, except I don’t see any that are available and you’ve been on hold forever, and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Thomas: We’ll know soon enough.

Hope: [ Sighs ] Thank you, for trying to help me get home.

Thomas: You’re welcome. But– but don’t worry about this, I know that you want to get home to liam and the family, but… think about what we just did today. I mean, we were supposed to impress those buyers, and we did, and that’s great for the line.

Hope: Oh, yeah. Hell yeah, we did.

[ Both laughing ]

Thomas: It’s amazing teamwork.

Hope: Yeah, it was almost like we were finishing each other’s sentences.

Thomas: Yeah, like one mind and two voices. It’s weird.

Hope: Oh, I don’t know. I was– I was having so much fun, I forgot to be nervous.

Thomas: Oh. You don’t have to be. Not when I’m around. Yeah, I’m here. What does that mean? All right, yeah. Thank you very much. Okay. Okay, so, um, bad news. Uh, by the time you got to the airport, there’s only one more flight out tonight, and it’s fully booked.

Hope: Dammit!

Thomas: I know, I’m sorry.

Hope: No, no, it is fine, it is no one’s fault, it’s just, I had already texted liam after the meeting that I would be home soon, and that’s what he will be expecting. Me, walking through the door, not spending the night here with you. Oh, this isn’t good.

Steffy: Look, I– I get why you’re wary of thomas. His past, and I understand why you don’t like the idea of hope and thomas jetting off together.

Liam: I mean, yeah. From where I’m sittin’, it’s just a recipe for disaster, but who am I kidding? I don’t like them together in any context, so–

Steffy: Look, I don’t know how many times I need to reassure you. But thomas has changed. He’s focused on work. Saving hope for the future with designs only he can create. And they make a fantastic team. I think you need to think about that. Be a little thankful.

Liam: Ah– well, meeting’s over and hope’s on her way home, and I’m definitely thankful for that, so–

[ Phone ringing ] Aha. Hey, you.

Congratulations on the meeting.

Can’t say I’m surprised.

Uh, any time you set your mind to something, you’re irresistible, so buyers never stood a chance. Proud of you.

Hope: Thanks.

Liam: So… yeah, I can’t wait for you to get home so we can celebrate properly.

Hope: Um, well, me– me too, but unfortunately, there is a bit of a problem.

Liam: I, uh– I thought that the buyers loved it.

Hope: The jet is having mechanical issues.

Liam: Oh. Uh, all right. Well, hey. It’s a good thing you figured that out when you’re still on the ground. Right? ‘Cause, ‘um… uh, so what, you just gonna fly commercial, or…

Hope: Well, see, that’s the thing. By the time I get to the airport, there’s only one flight out, and it’s already fully booked.

Liam: Oh. Um… so what are you saying exactly? Just, are you– you’re stuck, you’re gonna be spending the night in san francisco with thomas?

[]

Hope: Well, hopefully they will be able to fix the problem, and then we can make it home tonight.

The pilot is going

to keep us updated.

But, um, yes, it is possible that thomas and I will have to stay in san francisco overnight.

Liam: Seriously?

Hope: I know. I know. I know. But fingers crossed, hopefully I will be able to make it home tonight, still, somehow. I just– I really, really want to see you and the kids. Um, but I– I do have to get going. Um, but I will– I will keep you posted. Okay? I love you, liam.

Liam: Yeah, I love you, too.

Steffy: Hope and thomas are spending the night in san francisco?

Thomas: Okay. Uh, while you were talking to liam, I decided to go ahead and order us some room service.

Hope: Oh, good call. I am starving.

Thomas: Yeah, that, uh, pitch meeting kind of worked up an appetite. Niçoise salad, right?

Hope: [ Laughs ] Yep. You know me so well.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: I’m sorry you have to be here. Was liam upset?

Hope: If I just hadn’t texted him I would be home soon, then I wouldn’t have set that expectation. Then it wouldn’t look so bad, and then– you know what? No. We had a great day here, and I don’t want to ruin that, so I am going to think positively and not stress, and the jet is going to be fixed. And in the meantime, all I can do is wait, so that is what I am going to try to do.

Thomas: Waiting. Not really my strong suit.

Hope: [ Laughs ] Oh, tell me about it.

[ Both laughing ] Well, hey, at least it’s good company.

Thomas: Yeah. You’re being a really good sport about all of this.

Hope: Well, so are you.

Thomas: Yeah, this isn’t that terrible for me. I get a night in san francisco. I can go grab some sushi, and then head back to the hotel and keep working. You need to get home to your fam–

Hope: Hey. Hey hey. No, no, no. No more work for you. You did enough today. All right? So, if– if we are actually stuck here, then I say we should just enjoy that dinner that you ordered for us, and just… bask in the glory of our success.

Thomas: Okay. Yeah. That’s actually a really good idea. I’m gonna go ahead and order myself a room, then. Just in case.

Liam: Isn’t it so funny how I never really liked the idea of hope and thomas going on a trip together?

Steffy: Hey, there’s still a chance they could– they could get home tonight.

Liam: I know, but the later it gets, the less I like the odds, and just… the thought of hope and thomas alone together overnight, it– I said, I see it

Steffy: Yeah, okay. Keep me posted. Thanks. Still workin’ on the mechanical issue, and pilot says it might not be fixed tonight, so yeah, hope and thomas might be spending the night in san francisco.

Liam: Well, I, for one, think that’s great. I think it’s so great, and with my luck, the hotel will be almost completely booked up, and thomas will be chivalrous enough to offer to share his room.

Steffy: Oh, liam, stop. You know that’s not gonna happen. And I know that you– you have reason to doubt him because of what happened in the past. I understand.

Liam: Yeah, but you– you– you think I should leave it in the past and give him the same chance everybody else is.

Steffy: I just think you need to be open to it. Give thomas the benefit of the doubt. Save you some grief.

Liam: [ Laughs ] That’s– actually, that’s probably true. It would save me some grief. It’s just that I’ve seen this too many times before. It’s like thomas does change… for a second. And then he’s back to scheming.

Steffy: Okay, but you have to admit, hope and thomas working together right now, it’s not the horror show you’ve been worried about.

Liam: No, it’s not. Yet. I mean, when the possibility first arose, I was just like… I was begging hope, I was begging her not to work with him, and she– she considered it, and she agreed with me, and I thought the issue was settled, and then the very next day, she changed her mind and she hired him.

Steffy: Yeah, that must hurt.

Liam: Uh, yeah. I mean, I was pretty convinced that was like the end of all peace and harmony in our household. It was like– it was like we just took opposite corners of the ring, you know? And– and then there’s thomas, right there in the middle, driving a wedge between us. And the truth is, hope has been pretty amazing, though. She’s been… yeah, she’s been kind and supportive, and she’s assured me over and over that if he tries anything, he’s– he’s out of there.

Steffy: Hope,

I know what I saw.

You caressing thomas’s hands,

staring into his eyes,

saying all the things

that you were saying.

You have feelings for him. Liam, thomas’s feelings are in check. You don’t have to worry about him.

Thomas: Well, I think this day deserves a toast.

Hope: I completely agree.

Thomas: To the wonderful meeting we just had, and the big fat order that’s gonna come from it.

Hope: Mm, hear hear!

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: All right, uh, my turn. Uh, to us, to turning over a new leaf, and to continuing to make magic together.

Thomas: I’ll drink to that!

Hope: Hey, huzzah!

Thomas: Huzzah!

Thomas: Aw, man.

Hope: Mm. You know, I really do have to commend you, thomas. I mean, this whole… new and improved version of you. Thomas 2.0.

Thomas: Ha!

Hope: It’s been, um… it’s been really great to see. Not just at hope for the future, but… it’s been really beneficial for douglas as well.

Thomas: Well, I– I hope it’s not too boastful of me to say, but I am actually really proud of the progress I’ve made, ’cause it’s gotten us to a place where we can have a friendship like this.

Hope: Well, good! I think you should be proud. You’ve– you’ve put in a lot of hard work, and… honestly, I… am proud to call you my business partner now, and not only that, but I consider you a friend.

Thomas: Your high praises mean the world.

Thomas: You’re giving me that look again. What does it mean?

[ Laughs ]

Hope: I don’t know. I don’T…

[ Thomas laughing ] I mean– you know that I love liam. And my family, they mean everything to me.

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: Good. Because I’ve been really trying to… just have us in a good place, you know? And I’ve been constantly reassuring liam about our partnership, and that there’s nothing to worry about there, which is really ironic, that I’m the one having to assuage his fears, when he’s done everything that he’s done, and I have never given him anything to really worry about.

Thomas: Wait. Worry about what?

Hope: It has not always been easy to grow up in my mother’s shadow. I mean, you know. You’ve done it yourself. I mean, there’s been a lot of judgment cast upon my mom, and some of that judgment just… get passed down to me, and I have tried so hard to fight against that. I’m my own person, I’m not my mom, and her with her stupid excuse of just following her heart… really, she just… leaves a trail of devastation behind her. I never wanted to be like that. My principles, and my morals, they matter to me. It’S…

Thomas: No. Wait. Hey, hey, hold on. Hold on. Hope. You are the most principled and– and moral person I’ve ever met. You’re nothing like your mother. And I’ve watched you my entire life, you’re– you-re– you’re like one of the most incredible people ever. And you love your family. You always want to be with liam and– and nothing is gonna come between you two.

Hope: Thank you. Thank you.

Thomas: Here. Come here.

Carter: I just got the call. I know it’s not ideal with everything else going on.

Hope: Or it could be perfect timing. International buzz ghw wouldn’t hurt.

Thomas: What’s happening?

Hope: Well, some of our most influential buyers just arrived in san francisco.

Carter: Now that you and hope are a team again, they want you to fly up for a meeting.

Thomas: When?

Hope: Today.

Finn: I had a cancellation. So, well, naturally, I had to come see you.

Steffy: Mm. I love it when my sexy, handsome doctor makes an office call.

[ Door opens ]

Liam: Hey. So– oh. Oh. That’s–

Finn: We forgot to lock the door.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah.

Liam: Uh, hope sent a text saying that, uh, she and carter were here. I assumed it was in this room. Obviously, that’s not the case. So, uh, how are you?

Liam: You just, uh– you just point me in the direction of my wife and I will disappear, so…

Steffy: No, liam, actually, wait, I– I have kelly’s–

Liam: No, no, no. I’ll– I’ll come back. Steffy, I can come back for it.

Steffy: It’s right here–

Finn: Did you remember the new shoelaces?

Steffy: Here, catch.

Liam: The purple ones with the matching– the– the glittery–

Steffy: Of course! As if kelly would let me forget. Are you kidding?

Liam: Well, according to several of the fashion magazines I publish, they’re all the rage, so…

Finn: Well, she’s gonna be a trendsetter just like her mom.

Liam: Yeah, she sure is.

Finn: Hey, so, liam, I, um– I know we’re gonna see you at the soccer game this weekend, but I was wondering, uh, how are you holding up? Well, steffy mentioned some things. And I don’t think it’s a big secret that you still have issues with hope and thomas working together.

Liam: [ Laughs ] Uh…

Thomas: So, the buyers wanna meet with us today?

Carter: Soon as you can get there.

Thomas: In san francisco?

Carter: I already talked to the pilot. He can file a flight plan as soon as I give the word.

Thomas: Sudden.

Carter: Yeah, I just got the request. I ran it by hope on my way to find you. And like I explained to her, they’re very excited and wanna see you both.

Hope: This could be huge for our collection.

Thomas: So, we need to leave, like, right now.

Hope: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Are you willing to go?

Thomas: Yeah, of course. But, uh, are you?

Hope: Yes. I think it would be a great way to show them our confidence in our comeback and– and show them how well we’ve been working together.

Carter: So, what do you say, thomas?

Thomas: You know how committed I am to this line. Let’s roll. One prilosec otc each morning blocks

Liam: So, you really, truly think thomas has changed?

Finn: I do. A lot. Look, he’s– he’s taking therapy seriously. He’s focused on his work, being a better father. And there’s no question thomas is sincere, I– does it mean you need to stop being vigilant where hope is concerned? I– I can’t answer that.

Liam: I don’t know. Maybe you can. You spend time with him.

Finn: Well, at the house with family and not at work with hope.

Liam: Hmm. Yeah.

Steffy: You know where I stand on this.

Liam: You think that I’m too hard on thomas and I need to give him a break. Right?

Steffy: I think he is doing the work. And it’s not just talk.

Finn: Look, it’s– it’s his wife. He’s in love with her and he wants to protect her.

Liam: Absolutely. That’s it. That’s it.

Finn: That’s something I understand.

Liam: Thank you. And I just– I– here’s my thing. I just don’t wanna take thomas’s word for it when he says, “oh, it’s fine. You have nothing to worry about.” Because I’ve made that exact mistake before.

Finn: Uh, and it’s– it’s stressful. I mean, you’re– you’re on alert all the time.

Liam: Right. And I’m not– you know, I don’t wanna be, like, looking for problems where there aren’t any. But if I let my guard down and something does happen, he does snap or whatever, like, I’m never gonna forgive myself.

Steffy: Okay. Hold on. Hope doesn’t need protection from thomas.

Hope: This is about thomas

again?

Steffy: Hope,

you were clutching his hands.

You were gazing into his eyes.

Hope: Stop, you’re making

a bigger deal out of that

moment than it has to be.

I mean, we were excited

about the numbers.

What more do you want

me to say?

Steffy: I just need to know.

I need to be a hundred

percent certain that you have

no inappropriate feelings

towards my brother. Liam, thomas won’t do anything to interfere in your marriage.

Carter: Won’t be an overnight trip.

Thomas: Yeah, well, we’re too busy for that.

Carter: Right. We’re in the swing of production. You’re churning out designs. But actual face time with the buyers, it’s too important to pass up. You’ll fly up, have the meeting, be back in la in time to say goodnight to your kids.

Hope: Perfect.

Thomas: Yeah.

Carter: And donna, she’s gonna book a room at the hotel. She’s setting up catering. All you two have to do is show up and kill your presentation.

Thomas: Yeah. Once we figure out which looks to bring for the collection.

Carter: Katie’s sending over an updated media package.

Hope: I already have sales preparing a deck about our pre-order numbers.

Thomas: Sounds like we’re all set.

Carter: Guys, hope for the future is making an excellent turnaround. But this meeting with the buyers could be crucial for your success.

Thomas: Securing a strong presence with the international market is important.

[ Phone chimes ]

Hope: Especially for an innovative brand like ours appealing to a younger, more socially conscious clientele.

Carter: It’s the pilot. The flight plan is filed. Jet’s being fueled.

Hope: Okay. So, we just need to grab a few things here and then we’ll be on our way.

Carter: Good luck. We’ll debrief in the morning.

Thomas: Thanks for setting this up, carter.

Carter: It’s in your hands now. Bring it home.

Hope: Okay, so, what do we need to bring? I need my tablet. Uh, we need our designs. I think we should bring design number six and some fabric samples.

Thomas: Maybe we should bring an exclusive, something no one else has seen.

Hope: That’s smart. That’s smart. Let them have the first look. I think that could go a long way. Oh! This is exciting. I– I can’t wait.

Thomas: Neither can I. But what about liam? Can’t imagine he’s gonna be too thrilled about this.

Hope: Thrilled about what? What’s going on? No two bodies are the same.

Liam: Okay. So, obviously there’s something I should know about. What? What is it?

Hope: Um, well, carter was just here and I have to fly to san francisco for a meeting. Some of our most influential buyers are in town and they want to discuss our upcoming collection.

Liam: That’s great.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. So, it’s– it’s gonna be a quick trip, just there and back.

Liam: Okay. When?

Hope: Today. Actually, like, right now.

Liam: Oh, okay. Uh, I don’t– wait. I don’t– why? Like, there’s nothing going on with the kids and you and I don’t have any plans. Why would– why would I not be– ’cause thomas is going. Okay. Yeah.

Thomas: Liam, uh, hope and I are both the leaders of hope for the future and the buyer wants to see both of us.

Liam: So, it’s the buyer’s idea? Okay.

Thomas: Yes. Uh, you know what, I’m gonna leave you guys to talk about this. I have some sketches I need to grab. Okay. Right. [ Clears throat ] But I– liam, just so you know, I– you got nothing to worry about.

Finn: Go lock the door.

Steffy: But I don’t wanna let you go. And my employees should know not to barge in on the boss, so…

Finn: Mm-hmm?

Steffy: Yeah.

[ Door opens ]

Thomas: Steff, I just need to grab a few things.

[ Finn chuckles ]

Steffy: Except that one.

Finn: Yeah.

Thomas: You’re busy.

Steffy: Uh, try– trying to be.

Thomas: Yeah. Okay. I won’t be here for very long. I just need to grab a couple sketches. The jet’s waiting.

Steffy: You’re doing that now?

Thomas: Yeah. Carter has all the details. And if you’re gonna be in here for a little bit longer, then maybe you should lock the door.

Steffy: We really should’ve learned our lesson when liam walked in on us earlier.

Thomas: Actually, liam is across the hall right now with hope, and he is not happy.

Steffy: Why? What happened?

Thomas: Carter didn’t tell you about the meeting?

Steffy: He texted me, but I was kind of busy.

Thomas: Okay. Um, well, um, hope and I have an impromptu meeting in san francisco today.

Steffy: You and hope are going together?

Thomas: Yes. And liam found out about it and he was as surprised as you are.

Finn: Hmm. I’ll bet.

Thomas: Yeah. I’m guessing by the look on his face when I left, he’s probably not wishing her a bon voyage.

Hope: We only just learned about this meeting a few minutes ago from carter.

Liam: All right. So, hope and thomas take on san francisco.

Hope: Just for the day. We just fly up, have the meeting, fly back. It’s not an overnight. Liam, I know how you feel about thomas. It’s just, this could really make or break our collection and it could generate a lot of buzz.

Liam: Yeah, no, no. I to– I get it. I totally get it. It’s just, it’S… you and thomas taking a trip together, just the two of you, after the time you already spend together. It’s– it’s a lot. But–

Hope: I know that we would normally have a longer conversation about this and I– I get your concerns.

Liam: Yeah. And you’ve heard those concerns ad nauseam. It is what it is.

Hope: Okay. But you understand why I have to go, right? Like, what it takes to sell a collection. I just– I don’t want you to be upset or to worry.

Liam: Hey, I’ll be waiting for you to get home tonight.

Hope: Thank you. Liam, I just– I want you to know that the way you support me and the way you look out for me, I– I don’t take that for granted. Okay? ‘Cause my commitment is to you and only you. I love you.

Liam: I love you, too. Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Steffy: This meeting could be a big game-changer. The couture line has a strong share with them. But hope for the future is just getting its foothold. If they wanna see more of hope and thomas, they need to go.

Finn: Mm, they did, right?

Steffy: Yeah. They’re on a plane right now.

Finn: Well, good. ‘Cause that means we might not get interrupted again.

Steffy: [ Laughs ] No. Oh, great. You’re back.

Liam: You know this door has a lock on it, right?

Finn: Yeah. We just keep getting sidetracked.

Liam: Gross. Forgot kelly’s soccer stuff.

Steffy: I’m assuming you heard about, uh, hope’s trip?

Liam: Last minute san francisco trip? Yeah.

Steffy: I just heard about it, too. You know thomas is going, right?

Liam: Oh, I know. I was with them right before they left.

Finn: You okay with that?

Liam: With my wife’s formerly obsessed lead designer and her taking a little trippy trip together?

Steffy: Liam.

Liam: Obviously, I’m not pleased with it. No.

Steffy: Well, it’s really good for the collection and for hope.

Liam: Yeah. No, yes, of course. And I’m– I’m so proud and supportive of everything hope has accomplished.

Steffy: And my brother’s a big part of that, too.

Liam: Why does everybody think that it’s thomas’s talent I’m doubting? His talent is not the problem. His personality is. And if any of his… issues happen to crop up again, given the right opportunity, like, say, cozy little business trip, we’re gonna have an issue.

Steffy: It’s a necessary trip.

Liam: It’s a necessary trip. I know. I’m just– yeah. Okay. Listen, do I wish hope was going with carter or, well, literally anybody else on the planet? Yes, I do. But like I told hope, I have absolute faith in her. And even though I don’t love how much time she’s spending with thomas, I just have to keep reminding myself that– that there is no– there’s no concern I have for thomas that trumps the faith I have in hope. And I’m incredibly lucky to have her as a wife because she’s honest and she’s genuine and she’s forthright and she loves me. So, there you have it.

Thomas: There you go.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: You’re welcome.

Hope: Katie put together a great package about the preview.

Thomas: Yeah? We should start with that and then get into the sales numbers.

Hope: Yeah. The sales team included some projections. I think we go over that and then you’re up.

Thomas: I’m up? No, I think, uh, the best person to talk about hope for the future is hope.

Hope: Yeah. Except the buyers want to see the man behind the design, so…

Pilot: Apologies for the interrupting, but we are gonna be taking off shortly.

Hope: Thank you. Oh, and there aren’t going to be any delays tonight? No fog? We’ll be able to get into los angeles in time this evening?

Pilot: Yes.

Hope: Thank you.

Pilot: You should buckle up. Prepare for takeoff.

Thomas: Thanks.

Hope: [ Clears throat ] So, I know this is a short flight, but I do think we should keep working. I know we don’t have a lot of time to prepare, but I want this presentation to go as smoothly as possible.

Thomas: Yeah. Um… I do wanna talk about this before we get going–

Hope: What?

Thomas: Since we weren’t able to on the way to–

Hope: What? What?

Thomas: Your conversation with liam, how did that go? Look, I– I don’t want our working together or– or– or– yeah, I don’t know, being together at all to cause any issue in your marriage.

Hope: I really do appreciate that, thomas. I do. And I– I believe you. I mean, it wasn’t too long ago that taking this trip with you, it– it might give me pause. But now, I mean, thomas, you have changed. And because of that, I mean, we– we wouldn’t be going to this meeting today. I mean, you helped revitalize hope for the future.

Thomas: I’m just trying to live up to your faith in me.

Hope: Oh, well, you’re kinda doing it every day right now, so…

Thomas: But what about liam?

Hope: Liam knows that I love him and I love our marriage. I love our family. I love our life together. And nothing and no one will ever come between that.

Thomas: I believe you. I know that. I mean, you’ve never been that kind of person. I– I– I saw your mother growing up and she– she made a lot of mistakes, right? She would be with one man, then go to another, and sometimes it wasn’t at the right time. Sometimes not with the right man. But you’re not like that. And you would never do that. Not you. Never you.

[ Clears throat ]

Steffy: Hey.

Hope: Oh, steffy. What’s up?

Steffy: We have to talk. About what I saw between you and my brother.

Taylor: Look at my boy hard at work.

Thomas: [ Laughs ] Sorry. I was in the zone.

Taylor: I know, I can see that and here I am breaking your concentration.

Thomas: No, not at all. I’m never too busy for you.

Taylor: You are just being sweet. I know. But I do love seeing you here at forrester creations. Following in your dad and granddad’s footsteps.

Thomas: You know, I hear it runs in the blood.

Taylor: Yeah, it does. But you know what? You have your very own way of doing things. You know? Not just– not just here at work but in life as well. You’re gonna make it happen. And shock ’em all.

Liam: I mean, it’s a good– it’s a good idea. I just don’t know how you implement something like that.

Wyatt: Well, that’s the thing. I have a top coder worker on it right now. We’re building up the platform and we’ll take a look at it.

Liam: So basically, it’s like a– it’s like a daily roundup of just what– like, whatever the top influencers are posting about.

Wyatt: Right. Correct. Yes. But we’re just arranging it in a way to make it appealing, you know, one-stop shop.

Liam: That’s interesting.

Wyatt: Yeah?

Liam: I mean, it’s– it’s more convenient for the user because it kind of like streamlines the whole retail experience.

Wyatt: Exactly. And you know what else I was thinking, we should maybe reach out to hope and see if the fashion houses might be able to utilize something like this. You know what I mean? Oh! Or better yet. I can’t believe I didn’t even think of this. Like, you should maybe reach out to her top designer, because I know you can’t wait to talk to him.

Liam: Wow!

[ Wyatt laughs ] Wow!

Wyatt: You don’t– no?

[ Laughs sarcastically ]

Liam: Yeah, too soon. Too soon.

Wyatt: I’m sorry, I just– I couldn’t help myself.

Liam: Oh, you couldn’t? Thomas forrester spends 12 hours a day with my wife and he lives rent-free in my head. But– but wyatt couldn’t help himself, so– so– so there’s that.

Wyatt: I’m sorry! Okay? But it’s a damn good idea, isn’t it?

Liam: I hope to god you’re talking about the app.

Wyatt: Of course, I’m talking about the app! But it’s not just an app, it’s the app of all apps. I’m telling you. If we build this right, and we market it correctly, this could be eight figures, easy.

Liam: It does have potential.

Wyatt: See? And then think about the monthly subscriptions.

Liam: Ooh.

Wyatt: Mm. Maybe I should talk to thomas’s people about this. And just ask.

Liam: Oh, my god! You’re the worst person. Ever. Do you understand I’m trying to get thomas out of my head and you just keep shoving him back in again? Stop it, stop, stop it.

Taylor: I just– I am– I am just so impressed with everything that you’re doing.

Thomas: I never get tired of hearing you say that. Well, good because I– I say it every day.

Thomas: Yeah, you do. That’s true.

Taylor: You know, it’s just, I– I see so much of your dad in you, when it comes to finding the inspiration in your designs. You just get so laser-focused.

Thomas: Yeah. So long as I’m laser-focused on hope for the future and not hope, right, mom?

Hope: This is about thomas again?

Steffy: Hope, you were clutching his hands. You were gazing into his eyes–

Hope: Steffy, you’re making a bigger deal out of that moment than it has to be. I mean, we were excited about the numbers. What more do you want me to say?

Steffy: I just need to know. I need to be 100% certain that you have no inappropriate feelings towards my brother. (Tap, tap)

Wyatt: Look, I’m trying to make light of the situation.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. No, no, I clocked that.

Wyatt: I’m your brother. I’m trying a different tact here. I’m supposed to give you a hard time, aren’t I?

Liam: Okay. Actually, you know what– you know what the hardest thing about the whole thomas situation is? It’s just– it’s just me trying to predict when he’s gonna cross the line again. Like, precisely when is that gonna happen?

Wyatt: Because you know he will.

Liam: No, of course he will. I mean, this– nobody goes through a sweeping life change like that in a matter of months. And especially not thomas.

Wyatt: Yeah. I mean, it’s– it’s definitely not real, that’s for sure.

Liam: No, it’s definitely not real. Or at least it’s not– it’s not as real as everybody seems to think it is. Which is why I– I’m still keeping my eye on him.

Wyatt: Well, and hope’s doing the same thing though, right?

Liam: Yeah. Well, she– I mean, she says she’s, you know, always on the lookout for red flags. And, uh, you know, my job is to believe that, so–

Wyatt: Okay, good. ‘Cause hope’s not one to lie. So, you’ve got no reason to doubt her.

Liam: No, I– that’s right. I– I completely trust hope. She’s– it’s– it’s just frustrating that she works so much with thomas and that’s why I’m keeping my guard up because I just– it– work is one thing. I don’t want him to interfere in my marriage.

Taylor: So, do you remember– do you remember the, uh– your dad’s office at the old house? You used to sit on top of his big desk, eating a– a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And then– and then you’d tuck your little hands underneath you and you’d watch him draw for hours.

Thomas: Yeah, I remember now. That’s what started my love affair with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

[ Giggling ] Ah, those– those times from my childhood, they had such a huge impact on me.

Taylor: I know they did. And now look at you.

Thomas: No place I’d rather be.

Taylor: Yeah, I know. I know. And I– I just– I wish that you had a– a healthier balance between work and…

[Whispering] …Life.

Thomas: I go on dates, mom.

Taylor: Right. But nothing significant.

Thomas: [ Laughs ] Oh, man. Look at you. I could just– oh, you’re transparent.

Taylor: What are you–

Thomas: I see right through you. Come on, I can tell, obviously, you still are concerned about me and my feelings or potential feelings for hope.

Taylor: Oh, do you know what? Just because I come by and check on you every now and again, doesn’t–

Thomas: You mean every hour or two?

Taylor: That is my “smotherly” love. Deal with it.

Thomas: Okay. You’re right. I’m sorry. I– smother away. Because you love your kids. And I couldn’t be more grateful that I have someone who cares about me so much. Bring it in.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Hope: I thought we had already put this issue to rest.

Steffy: I need to be absolutely sure. There is so much riding on your partnership being successful. And not just for your line, but for thomas’s well-being.

Hope: Look, I get it. You’re being a protective sister, which I would do the same thing if I were in your shoes. But can I ask you an honest question, steffy? I mean, you and your family, you– you truly do believe that thomas has changed, right?

Steffy: Yes, absolutely.

Hope: Okay. So, then, am I not allowed to trust that? To appreciate the man that he’s become? Someone who is kind. Who doesn’t just think about himself. Who actually worked hard on the road to self-improvement.

Steffy: That’s why I don’t want you unraveling all the progress thomas has made.

Hope: Steffy, I would never do that. I am rooting for him just as much as you are. And what you walked in on–

Steffy: Holding his hands?

Hope: We were caught up in the moment.

Steffy: What kind of moment?

Hope: One of excitement. I mean, steffy, you know, better than anyone, that my line was on the brink of collapse and your brother helped save it. And not only that, we work together, we’re co-parents and yes, thomas is– is now a good friend of mine.

Steffy: That’s why I need reassurance that you don’t have any feelings for him.

Hope: Am I happy for thomas? Yes. Am I proud of him? Absolutely. But are there any romantic feelings, steffy? No, none at all. “Look at this skin, baby.

Taylor: Okay. So, you know I don’t just come here to– to check on you, right?

Thomas: I do. Yeah, I do.

Taylor: No, I– I– I come here because I– I also want to catch up and see your handsome face. Not just the serious stuff.

Thomas: No, you don’t want to just talk about the serious stuff. Like therapy and all my past trauma. What you want to know is, you know, if I’m getting enough vitamins or sleep.

Taylor: Are you?

Thomas: Yes.

Taylor: [ Giggles ] Okay, good. Now, honey, I am– I am, uh– I am here really for– for something very important and I– I just– I need you to be honest with me.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: Have you seen the season finale of–

Thomas: No, no. Why would I do that? That would– you– you watched it without me? Why would you–

Taylor: I might’ve–

Thomas: That’s– why? That’s– that’s really painful. Talk about trauma. You’re bringing more into my life. Why would you do that? Wow! Mom!

Taylor: You’ve been so busy! And it’s so good.

[ Groaning ]

Thomas: Oh, yeah. I’m so glad to hear that. So good. Can’t wait to watch it on my own. You’re– yeah. Okay. Look, you– you’re very sweet. And, um, honestly, I’m– I’m glad that you do check on me. Because… therapy and– and working through all this stuff, this is the reason that I’m actually making significant changes this time.

Taylor: I know. You’re doing so good. You are– you are truly committed to making a real shift happen.

Wyatt: These look good. And I’ll just take these back once they’re executed. All right. Thanks, margie. So… things with hope are good, then?

Liam: Things with hope are good. Yeah. They’d be great, if it weren’t for thomas, but they’re good.

Wyatt: Right. Look. I know that it’s hard, but you just, you gotta stay positive.

Liam: No, positive– look. You know me. I’m– I’m an optimist. It’s just been a challenge lately. We’ve had, you know, some disagreements and–

Wyatt: About thomas? Let’s see, we talked about this, once before? Twice?

Liam: Oh god. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. I know. I vent to you. I use you as a– as a vent. That’s– that’s our thing. You know what? It would be easier if I just didn’t have to, like, conform to the whole thomas-is-a-changed-man narrative thing. Right?

Wyatt: Right.

Liam: I mean, that– that’s been a challenge. That’s what’s created conflict between hope and me. In certain areas. In other areas, we’re actually, uh, pretty good.

Wyatt: Right. Other areas.

Liam: Yeah, other areas that I won’t go into too much detail about. Suffice it to say, there is this boutique shop on melrose that we’ve gone to a couple of times.

Wyatt: I’m gonna call thomas, how about that?

Liam: Okay, foul ball.

Wyatt: Okay, time out.

Liam: All right.

Wyatt: Time out.

Liam: It’s– everything’s fine. I have nothing to complain about. I have everything to be grateful for. As a matter of fact, hope has, really, I don’t think ever been as loving or affectionate, so…

Wyatt: Well, that’s good. Yeah, I’m glad. I’m happy for you both.

Liam: Thank you.

Wyatt: Look, it’s hard enough trying to keep up the romance when you got kids and jobs and family and all that. Not to mention when you have A…

[ Shuddering ] …Stupid face like thomas lurking around.

[ Chuckling ]

Liam: I’m– I’m, uh– I’m trying not to obsess too much over that stupid face lurking around. And in the meantime, one thing is clear, I’m just incredibly lucky to have hope in my life. Because there is no one more loyal or committed than her.

Hope: I don’t have any feelings for thomas. Nothing beyond friendship, collaboration and sharing a son together.

Steffy: Okay. I just want to make sure you’re not following some of brooke’s patterns.

Hope: Okay, steffy. I– we’re not talking about my mom right now. We’re talking about me, right? And I am my own person. I know myself. I know my boundaries, and while I may be brooke logan’s daughter, I am nothing like her when it comes to men. I would never do anything to undermine the life that I have built for myself and for my family. And I would certainly never do anything inappropriate with any man, let alone thomas. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Thomas: I wish I had time, I could take you to lunch.

Taylor: Oh, gosh, I would love that. I really would. But I– I know that you’re creating masterpieces and I have an entire day filled with patients.

Thomas: Well, I appreciate you coming by, seeing how I’m doing.

Taylor: Yeah. Always. Always. I’m– I’m– I’m not too smothering. Am I?

Thomas: No. Honestly, it’s been– it’s been pretty amazing having you and your support. I don’t know what I would have done without your faith in me. It’s really helped motivate me.

Taylor: You know, I am– I am just here to remind you that– that you’re not alone. And I see you. You know, what you’re doing today is just getting you that much closer to where you’ll be tomorrow. And I am just so proud that I get to ride shotgun on this journey with you.

Thomas: Well, I– I “lerve” you, mom.

Taylor: I “lerve” you back.

[ Both chuckling ]

Wyatt: Well, I’d say life is treating you pretty well. And you know what, I’m glad. Because I think you deserve all the happiness in the world.

Liam: Thanks, man. And that’s true. You know what, hope is… an immeasurable part of that. Just knowing that she’s– she’s there for me. She’s got my back. I can always count on her. The kids can always count on her. There’s nothing better than that.

Wyatt: Yeah. I mean, look, you– you lucked out when you married that one.

Liam: That’s true. There is no one more kind or compassionate, or with more integrity than hope logan.

Wyatt: Yep. Apple kind of fell far from the tree on that one, huh?

Liam: Hmm?

Wyatt: With brooke? I mean, I don’t mean any disrespect to brooke. Or anything–

Liam: No, no, no.

Wyatt: She’s a phenomenal woman, you know what I mean? But, I mean, come on, we heard the stories about her when she was younger, when she was hope’s age, you know? And–

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: And that whole thing.

Liam: Yeah, they’re– they’re different, you know. Different personalities, different, uh, value systems.

Wyatt: Yeah. It was just– sometimes, I– I– you know, it’s hard to believe that she’s hope’s mom.

[ Laughing ]

Liam: No, me too. Hope is definitely her own person. I mean, she’s so– she’s got, like, such a specific… moral code.

Wyatt: Right.

Liam: You know, and she sticks with it. She, like, never strays from it. But that’s– that’s great for me. That’s why I love her so much, right? Like, I never have to worry about that. I never have to question her fidelity. Or her commitment.

Hope: I mean, you know how much I love liam, how– how hard I fought for him and for our relationship. I mean, hell, steffy, I even fought you–

Steffy: I– I’m not– I’m not disputing your feelings for your husband. I know you love him. It’s just thomas has come a long way. He’s moved on from his dysfunctional ways. He’s not pining for you anymore. And I’d hate to see him get caught up in all of this again.

Hope: Thomas understands that there was never anything between us, there never will be. He’s finally accepted that. And that is why the line is in such a good place. It’s because he and I are finally on the same page. And thomas knows how much I love liam. And between you and me, I mean, liam and I, we’ve never been more connected. So, yes, while I may spend my days at work here with your brother, our relationship is purely platonic and professional. And I–

[ Clatter ] Oh, sorry. Just– yeah.

Steffy: Look, um, I’m happy that you and liam are in a good place. And hey, okay, maybe, maybe my imagination was running wild when I walked in on you and thomas.

Hope: I mean, I get it. I just– I think you were reading a little too far into things. I have a healthy working relationship with thomas. And I am happily married to liam.

Steffy: Okay. Just, things are going so well for our families and I– I don’t want anything to mess it up is all.

Hope: Well, you don’t have to worry about thomas and me. Okay? I promise.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Crickets chirping ]

Liam: Okay, how much time until the kids get home?

Hope: Two words for you: Sleep. Over.

[ Exaggerated gasp ]

Liam: Both of them?

Hope: Mm-hmm. Yup, so…

Liam: [ Whispering ] Yes.

Hope: We have the entire night to ourselves. And I plan on devoting that to my very handsome husband.

Liam: Oh, no complaints here.

Finn: Hey. Thanks again for taking on bedtime duties solo.

Steffy: Hey, my husband wants an after-dinner dip in the ocean and I make that happen. No ulterior motives here, I swear.

Finn: No?

Steffy: None whatsoever. No.

Finn: Oh, okay, okay.

Steffy: Mm. You’re just so sexy. And I’m so lucky to be your wife. Not because of… all of this. I mean– I mean, yes, but… but this. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.

Finn: I think I’m the lucky one. I’m married to a woman that’s such a beautiful force of nature. Come here.

[ Pencil scratching ]

R.J.: You’re always sketching, aren’t you, thomas?

Thomas: What’s that?

R.J.: Oh, you know. Just you and a sketchpad, never far apart. Is dad that much of a tyrant, you know? He’s got you designing 24/7?

Thomas: No.

R.J.: Okay. Never mind. Seems like you’re in some sort of artistic trance. Well, I’ll let you be.

Thomas: Hang on, R.J. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Hold on.

[ Laughs ] I just… yeah, you know what? I should– I should take a– a minute away from this. I’ve been working on it for a while.

R.J.: Wow. Looks great.

Thomas: Thanks.

R.J.: Can totally see hope wearing it. That’s the whole point, right? Why you two are so successful? You know, her visions coming to life through your hands?

Thomas: My hands.

R.J.: Yeah, I’m assuming that’s how you, uh, normally hold a pencil, unless you’ve been designing by foot, all of these years. ‘Cause if so, dude, you gotta let me record that. We could go viral.

[ Thomas chuckles ] Yeah.

R.J.: So, you seriously seem to be working a lot. You ever get bored of being in the office?

Thomas: No, not really. I– I– I like it. I love being here and being productive. But what about you? Why– why are you here at this hour?

R.J.: Oh, I was just having dinner with mom across the street. Thought I’d pop in, see if hope was still here. Do you know where she is?

Thomas: No. Should I?

R.J.: Uh, yeah.

[ Chuckles ] From what I’ve heard, it sounds like hope spends all of her time with you.

Liam: Well…

Hope: Hmm.

Liam: This night certainly took a turn. Here, I thought I was gonna be home alone with the kids, while you were working late.

Hope: Yeah. I think there have been too many late work nights lately. And I– I need some much-needed hubby time. And, uh, I think we need to make more nights like this a priority. I really wanna spend more time with each other, focusing on us, our relationship, and I’m, um… I’m sorry that I haven’t been there for you as much as I would like to be right now.

Finn: Hayes get his 10 kisses?

Steffy: Oh! More like 12.

Finn: 12?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Oh, the boy’s upping his game?

Steffy: He certainly knows how to work me.

Finn: Yeah, well, like father, like son.

Steffy: [ Laughs ] Yeah, that is true.

[ Groaning ]

Finn: You okay?

Steffy: Yeah, no, it’s just, um… ah…

Finn: What?

Steffy: Something happened at the office today.

Finn: Something that worries you? Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

[ R.J. Chuckles ]

R.J.: You know, I think it’s pretty cool, that my half-brother, through my father, is designing for my half-sister through my mom. Makes me feel like I’m a part of it all. You know, like I’m this thing connecting everyone together.

Thomas: But?

R.J.: But, you know one of the reasons I was out of the country for so long, thomas? I don’t necessarily like being the one connecting everybody. It’s a lot of pressure. I– you know? It’s– and it’s just asking for trouble. Especially when someone is bringing on a lot of drama.

[ Thomas chortles ]

Thomas: Yeah. Someone. I know that someone is me.

R.J.: Thomas, you’re my brother. Okay? I’m always going to care about you. But… you crossed lines that should have never been crossed. And you didn’t just do it one time, thomas. You did it multiple times.

Thomas: You’re right. I did. Look, I– I’ve been working on myself and I think I’m finally the kind of brother you can actually be proud of.

R.J.: We’re good now, thomas. I’m– I’m taking you at your word. Okay? But you understand why I’ve been away for so long, right? Like, you get it?

Thomas: Yeah, I get it. And I promise I don’t want to meddle in our dad’s love life ever again.

R.J.: I mean, that’s– that’s good. I’m glad to hear it. If our dad decides to get back together with my mom or your mom, or… I don’t know, someone else entirely, it’s– it’s their business. It’s not ours, right?

Thomas: 100%.

R.J.: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah. I’ve interfered for the last time. All right? Their– their relationships, their problems. It’s their business.

R.J.: Facts. And, you know, I’m assuming it’s the same deal with hope. Right? No more interfering there. Thomas, where do things stand between you and my sister?

Liam: Ooh, what do we got? What do we got? What do we got? What is this? Is this the, um… is this that cab we got from the winery last summer?

Hope: Yup.

Liam: Wow. You know something? I kind of thought you were saving it for our anniversary.

Hope: Saving it for a special occasion. Which this is. A toast. To what really matters. I– I know I have been pretty focused on work lately, but at the end of the day, nothing matters more to me than this family. My handsome husband. Our beautiful children. This house that we’ve made a home. So, here’s to us.

Liam: To us.

[ Clinking ]

Finn: Honey, what’s going on? Hmm? A situation at work? Is it something I can help with?

Steffy: No. But it’s really sweet of you to offer. And I’m not entirely sure if it’s even a situation or… maybe I’m reading too much into it. God, I hope so, because there’s so much riding on the line.

Finn: A while ago you were worried about hope for the future. And whether or not thomas should work on the line again. Does this have anything to do with that? With hope and your brother?

Steffy: Yeah.

If you have this…

Thomas: Hope and I are doing really well now. As co-parents, as coworkers. I mean, look, we’ve got a strong and solid and platonic relationship.

R.J.: And you’ve accepted that’s just all it’s ever gonna be?

Thomas: Yeah. Look, I– I get it. She’s your sister. You’re protective. I know exactly how that feels. You love her.

R.J.: Yeah, of course. I mean, she’s amazing. She deserves the best.

Thomas: She does.

R.J.: You thought that was you for a long time, didn’t you, thomas?

Thomas: Look, I came back from new york and I was a single dad. I– I didn’t know how to fill my son’s life and– and– and he needed a mother and he connected with hope. And it was a beautiful thing and she really, really filled that role in his life. And for that I will always love her.

R.J.: I get it. Hope is a very caring, kind person. But she’s married to someone else now, thomas.

Thomas: I get that. And I didn’t respect that marriage in the past. I did a lot of things that hurt a lot of people. Especially in our family and… I don’t know how, but at some point, I was able to earn back some of their forgiveness. I don’t think I deserve it. But I think I finally got to the point where I realize in myself, I– I’m not that person anymore. So, I can promise you, hope and her marriage to liam, they have nothing to worry about.

Liam: I hope you know… how much this means to me. How you’ve invested in us, I-in our marriage. Um, ’cause I admit, I– you know, I was worried when you said that you would work with thomas again. I just kind of assumed it would put a strain on the relationship, especially with you spending the majority of your time at– at the office. But, you know–

Hope: Liam, can we–

Liam: Yeah?

Hope: — Maybe not talk about thomas? Tonight is supposed to be about us.

Liam: Yes. Yes. That’s way better, way better topic. Us. Uh, um, much more interesting.

Hope: Yeah. And, uh, sexier, too.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah.

Finn: So, this problem weighing on you, it’s– it’s about hope for the future, isn’t it?

Steffy: Not only is my husband incredibly sexy, he is very perceptive. I– no, seriously, you are, like, the smartest man I know.

Finn: So, that means I’m right.

Steffy: The line is doing well. The preorders are doing better than expected.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Okay, well, that’s– that’s great.

Steffy: It is great. It is. Uh, but–

Finn: Well, so, if you aren’t concerned about the line itself, that must mean that… you’re concerned about the people behind it. Was it a mistake letting hope and thomas work together?

[ Steffy laughs softly ] Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

R.J.: I’m impressed. You made some serious improvements, man. And I’m– I’m genuinely proud of the person you’re becoming.

Thomas: Hey, right back at you.

R.J.: Oh, come on, you don’t mean that. You’re just happy that I’m wasting my life away on the internet.

Thomas: Um, I don’t know if I would define lining up sponsorships and traveling all over the world on those sponsorships as “wasting time.”

[ Soft chuckle ]

R.J.: I just got a great idea.

Thomas: What?

R.J.: You should explain that to dad.

Thomas: Nope.

R.J.: Why not?

Thomas: Come on.

R.J.: Please?

Thomas: No. I just told you that I am not getting involved in anybody’s business or meddling around. Okay? And I don’t think anybody could tell dad that, uh, ridge forrester, jr. Is not supposed to be a fashion designer. It’s not happening. But, you know what? If you ever feel like you wanna come in here, you wanna work on some designs with me, or just see the process, you’re always welcome. I’m– I’m right here.

R.J.: Thank you, thomas. I appreciate it.

Thomas: Glad you’re back, R.J.

R.J.: Well, hey, that makes two of us.

[ Contented sighing ]

Liam: Wow. Okay. Wow. That was, uh… that was, uh… that– that ju– that was, um… I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately, but you have– you have never been more passionate or– or in the moment. Oh, my god, I– I love it. It’s amazing.

Hope: Yeah, I just, um… just want you to know how I feel. It’s important for me to… to show you how much I love you.

Finn: You’re concerned with your brother collaborating with hope?

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right.

Finn: Well, have you not been reassuring liam about all this? Just tell him that there’s no reason to worry?

Steffy: Yes, I have.

Finn: Look, I– I know he’s not crazy about the idea of thomas and hope spending so much time together.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Mm, that’s– that’s putting it mildly.

Finn: And despite all the work and therapy thomas has put in, he still thinks that– thomas is obsessed with hope and that he’s gonna make a move and– and try and do something. And I thought at least, well, until tonight, that you felt the opposite. I th-thought you believed in thomas.

Steffy: I– I do. That hasn’t changed.

Finn: Okay. Well, so much for being the smartest man. You know, ’cause I– I thought that’s where you were–

Steffy: No, no, no, I– look. Thomas is better. And I– I trust him completely. And I won’t let anyone or anything derail the progress he’s made.

Finn: Uh, okay. So, you’re– you’re concerned with liam and his negativity? Try not to worry. Okay? Liam will figure it out for himself. H-he will see that there is no problem and that there’s no reason to be worried.

Steffy: Let’s not waste any more time talking about hope or liam.

Finn: Got something else in mind?

Steffy: Yeah, I have something in mind. Doesn’t involve talking.

Steffy: Do you have

feelings for thomas?

Are you actually turning

into your mother?

Hope: You know, moments like this are so important. And I– I know I’ve been really distracted with work lately and I just– I hope you know how much you and our family– I mean, you come first, always. I– I love you and you’ll never doubt that, right?

Liam: I don’t doubt you. I have never doubted you. I have never questioned your feelings or your loyalty, and I never will.

Steffy: Hope, I know what I saw. You, caressing thomas’ hands, staring into his eyes, saying all the things that you were saying. You have feelings for him. Hope, tell me the truth. Now.

Thomas: There’s no way.

Ridge: No way what, thomas?

Waitress: Your brother said to give this to you.

[ Scoffs ]

Liam: Of course he did. Thank you.

Taylor: I called your office, and they said you would be here. May I join you?

Liam: I… hi. Yes. Yes. Uh, please, please sit. Hi. What’s up, taylor?

Taylor: I just wanted to speak to you. About… your wife and my son.

[ Liam chuckles ]

Liam: Uh, I feel like you might want to talk to me about hope and thomas working together.

Taylor: Oh, you are correct.

Liam: Ah.

Taylor: You’ve had a lot of strong objections.

Liam: I… I have. Yeah. But you already know what they are. I mean, I’m just– I’m concerned that thomas is gonna do what he’s already done–

Taylor: He won’T.

Liam: Okay. Listen–

Taylor: Thomas is not gonna cross any lines. And… I’m not just saying that because he’s my son. I’m saying that because I know he won’T. He’s not gonna throw away all the work he’s done and risk his career and family… for something that can never be.

Ridge: Something wrong?

Thomas: No, it’s just, um…

Ridge: Just talking to yourself.

Thomas: I was thinking out loud.

Ridge: Thinking out loud about what?

Thomas: This, uh, the sketch is just, like… there’s something off about it.

Ridge: Mm. That’s what it’s about?

Thomas: Yeah, I appreciate your concern. But, um…

Ridge: But what?

Thomas: You know what? Um… maybe it would be good to talk about it. And I don’t want to fall back into old patterns.

[ Clearing throat ] It’s– it’s about hope.

Steffy: My brother is doing everything he possibly can to redeem himself. Not only here at work, but with douglas. And the rest of the family.

Hope: No, I know. I– I know.

Steffy: Do you know that? Because what I just saw, was you flirting with thomas. And I know that sounds so crazy because thomas is the one we’re supposed to be worried about. Not you. Not sweet hope. Hope who never misbehaves. But you are now. Because I saw you flirting with my brother. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Liam: You’ve always had a lot of faith in thomas, haven’t you?

Taylor: Are you– are you saying I shouldn’t have?

Liam: No, I’m not saying that. I’M… what am I saying? I guess I just– I think he’s lucky to have a parent who believes in him as much as you do.

Taylor: I’m lucky to have thomas as a son. And yes, I do believe in him. But if he was playing as I–

Liam: Which, he’s done before.

Taylor: Yeah, he has. Boy, he was good at it, wasn’t he? And as good as he was at it, I am now better at spotting his tells. And he is– he is still making progress with them.

Liam: I mean, yeah, that’s good. That– that is good. That’s a good thing. But can we– elephant in the room? Taylor, you’re a psychiatrist. But in this context you’re not just a psychiatrist. You’re also thomas’ mother. So, how–

Taylor: How could i be unbiased?

Liam: Yes.

Taylor: That is– that is a fair question. You know, um, I wouldn’t be fighting so hard for thomas if I wasn’t absolutely certain he’d changed. You know, I– I have a lot more invested in thomas getting better than you do. He’s my son.

[ Stammering ] I just want the best for him. So– so being biased in this situation, it would be the worst possible thing for him. And for hope.

Ridge: So this is about hope. What about her?

Thomas: It’s about hope. It’s about, uh, hope for the future. And… have you seen the preorder numbers?

Ridge: I have not.

Thomas: Okay. Well. They came in.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: And… let me see. Here you go. They exceeded our expectations.

Ridge: Well, this is amazing. You should be really happy.

Thomas: Well, hope is ecstatic.

Ridge: And she should be happy too, because her line’s been struggling a little bit.

Thomas: Uh, well, you know, a lot has changed since then.

Ridge: Really? The only thing that’s changed is she has a new lead designer.

Thomas: Yeah. And I– I’m really lucky to be here.

Ridge: Luck has nothing to do with it. You did the work. You worked on yourself. You worked on your craft, and… here we are. Son, I am so proud of you.

Thomas: You should be proud of hope too.

Ridge: Okay. I’m so proud of her too. She did what she did to save her line. She did everything she had to.

Thomas: It’s– it’s not just that, though. It’s not just her doing what she had to. Like, she, she… after everything I did, she… was able to forgive me and that’S…

Ridge: That’s what she does. She gives second chances. It’s nice.

Thomas: It’s not just what someone does. This is… after everything I did, that’s a new level of forgiveness. And I, I don’t know. Look, I… me being back, it can affect her marriage with liam.

Ridge: I think they’re fine.

Thomas: Maybe they are, but liam doesn’t trust me. He doesn’t have any reason–

Ridge: What are you doing right now? What is this? You should be over the moon. You just showed me these numbers. You should be doing backflips. Instead, you’re standing here doing… this. What’s going on?

[ Thomas grunts ]

Hope: Misbehaving? Steffy, this– this is an overreaction. You are reading too much into what you saw.

Steffy: Am I? I want to believe that’s the case.

Hope: It is.

Steffy: I hope to god it is. I hope you’re being honest with me and yourself. Thomas has been acting like a gentleman. He has been behaving himself. He has not crossed any lines with you. He is making strides in his life.

Hope: I know that. I have seen the work that he has done. I believe that he is a changed man.

Steffy: Yeah, he’s been fighting those demons and he’s winning. Why can’t you be sensitive to that?

Hope: I am. I am proud of him, steffy.

Steffy: Really? Because what I just walked in on, what I just saw, was you laying it on thick. You flirting with my brother. Saying all the things that you were saying, looking into his eyes, and caressing his hands. You were flirting with him. Wow, I can’t even believe I am saying this. Are you actually turning into your mother? My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Thomas: Has anyone ever told you you worry too much?

Ridge: All the time. I’m not worried about you. Not anymore.

Thomas: Really? You mean that?

Ridge: Oh, I mean that. It’s who you are. You, you did it. You fixed whatever the problem was. And you’re back. You’re a great father to your son. Your skills are improving all the time. And I don’t know that I’ve said it, and I’m gonna say it again. I’m gonna keep repeating it. I am so proud of you.

Thomas: You know I’m actually kind of proud of me too.

Ridge: Good! You should be! Because you earned this.

[ Sighs ] All right. If you ever need anybody, I hope you know this. If you ever need to talk to someone about anything, I’m here. I’ll listen. And I will give advice. If you ask for it.

Thomas: I, I appreciate that. I, um, I’ll keep that in mind.

Ridge: So where is hope? I want to congratulate her too.

Thomas: She’s over in the design office.

Ridge: She has to be so impressed with you.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, dad, um… I– I’m glad that hope has brought herself to forgiving me and, and the rest of the family is moving in that direction, but… it means the world to me that you are willing to give me another chance, and– and forgive me. And… I promise, I know that I’ve– I’ve done some dark things in the past, but, um… I am never gonna become that person again. You have my word.

Liam: I do actually appreciate your concern for hope. I do.

Taylor: Well, I appreciate hope’s capacity for forgiveness. She didn’t have to allow thomas to come back to be her lead designer, but she did.

Liam: Yeah. But she also didn’t forget about all the things that he’s done in the past, like none of us have.

Taylor: No, but… she was willing to trust that thomas wouldn’t revert to his old ways. And he hasn’T.

Liam: Yet. That we know of. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t or couldn’T. And if that does happen–

Taylor: If that happens, hope is gonna put a stop to it, and thomas will be gone. And thomas knows that. He could lose everything, and– and everyone that he loves. His career, everything. He’s not gonna allow that.

Liam: What if it’s not up to him, taylor? What if– what if the impulse is just too strong? What if he literally cannot help himself?

Taylor: What if he can? Therapy is giving him incredible coping skills. He is– he is healing through the very things that cause the triggers. And now he’s able to spot them as soon as they come up. Come on, liam. That is huge. Can you not see that?

Liam: Here’s what I see. I see, and I mean this, that the people who love him, are invested in his growth. And that’s a good thing. It means you and ridge and steffy all have confidence in him. And that’s your job. But my job is to stay on guard.

Taylor: Okay. But remember, hope is smart. Give her some credit. And try to– just try to believe that I– I would never want hope and thomas working so closely together if I wasn’t absolutely certain that thomas… wasn’t that old thomas.

[ Liam chuckles ]

Liam: You sound like steffy, actually. She said the same thing to me. She’s been trying to drill into my head that… that I have nothing to worry about when it comes to her brother and hope.

[ Sardonic chuckle ]

Steffy: You’re really turning into your mom.

Hope: What? No. No, steffy. And I think you’re making way too much of this.

Steffy: I know what I saw.

Hope: We were excited about the numbers. We were celebrating. And we did get caught up in the moment, steffy. But I love liam. My family and my marriage mean everything to me. Please do not interfere with that.

Steffy: I’m not. But if you’re developing feelings for my brother, I’m gonna have an issue with this.

Hope: Steffy, can you please just try to listen to me and see it from my point of view? Thomas and i have been working really hard on this line together. We have been spending a lot of hours together. We also share a son together. But that is it. That is where it stops. Liam is my husband. And I love him and I am committed to him. (Buzz) morning!

Liam: Well, steffy is right. But then again, steffy is always right. And don’t you forget it.

[ Liam chuckles ] Come on, if you could just..

Liam: Have the kind of faith in your son that you do?

Taylor: Well, I– I would never expect you to do that. No.

[ Chuckles ] I’m just asking for… just a modicum of faith. You know? Thomas can’t– can’t change what he did. But he can change the way that he does things from now on, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. The efforts he’s making are real. And hope sees that every day, we all do. Present company excluded. So what do you say? Think you can give him just a little benefit of the doubt?

[ Liam groaning ]

Liam: I want to believe you, taylor, for all our sakes. Especially hope’S. She’S… she’s a good person, you know? She’s– she’s kind, and compassionate and sincere.

Taylor: And smart.

Liam: And smart. Yes.

Taylor: Yes. And she forgave thomas. But she also put very firm boundaries in place. You have nothing to worry about, liam.

Hope: Working with you this time around, it’s been amazing. I mean, it’s like we are in sync on everything. It’s been magical. And now, I mean, there’s no limit to where we can take hope for the future.

Steffy: I want to believe you, hope. I never questioned your love for liam.

Hope: Then don’t start now.

Steffy: I have spoken to him. You asked me to do that, remember? He loves you so much.

Hope: Steffy, I know that.

Steffy: He’s been concerned about you and thomas. He trusts you. He just doesn’t trust thomas. But I think you’re the one he needs to be concerned about.

Hope: No, steffy. I am completely devoted to liam.

Steffy: And he is completely devoted to you. Do you realize how lucky you are? Liam is completely supportive and understanding. But if he were to walk in on what I just did, he would have freaked out.

Hope: Steffy, please… please don’t say a word to liam.

[ Steffy scoffs ] He’s already sensitive enough about thomas and me working together, and I swear to you, there is nothing going on between the two of us.

Steffy: Do you miss it?

Hope: Miss what?

Steffy: His affection for you.

Hope: How could you even ask such a thing? No. No, steffy. I love my husband. I love my family. They mean everything to me. So, please… don’t overreact to a situation that you are misunderstanding. Please do not tell anyone about this. I swear to you. There is– there’s nothing going on.

Steffy: Okay. So you’re telling me the truth. You have no feelings for thomas. None at all.

Hope: No.

Steffy: Good. Because you can’t be leading him on. Reigniting his obsession with you. I’m serious, hope. Do not lead thomas on. Or undermine the progrs my brother has made. I’ll be watching you.

Brooke: [ Sighs ] I– i haven’t been able to wipe this smile off my face since R.J. Came home.

Ridge: I know the feeling.

Brooke: I don’t think I let myself really feel how much I missed him.

Ridge: I get that, ’cause it, uh, it hurts too much, doesn’t it? But you gotta let ’em go. Let them be who they are.

Brooke: As opposed to who you want them to be, right? I can’t believe you’re actually saying that.

Ridge: I can’t believe you’re saying that. All I did was nudge him in what I think is the right direction. I got him to put pencil to paper, and he’s, uh– he’s talented.

Brooke: Show me. Oh! Uh-huh. That’s, uh– wow!

[ Chuckles ]

Ridge: What, you don’t think it looks like me?

Brooke: Uh, let’s see. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, it does, it looks just like you. That’s, uh– that’s what’s so funny.

[ Chuckles]

[ Sighs ] Mm.

Liam: So, I don’t know. I mean, assuming dad signs off on it, I think we could– we could finalize the deal in a matter of days.

Wyatt: Really? Yes! See? This is what I’m talking about. See how productive we can be when you actually show up to meetings?

Liam: Oh, my god. You’re just– you’re– you’re gonna hold that over my head forever. You’re just– okay, fine.

Wyatt: Pretty much, yeah.

Liam: I’m ready for it. No, it’s great. It’s great.

Wyatt: Hey, I do have a question for you, though.

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: What is happening with the thomas and hope situation? Any updates?

Thomas: Okay, so what do you think? Should we take the hemline up a little bit or do you wanna leave it where it is?

Hope: You know what? I think in order to show off the shoes, we should bring up the hemline in the front just a little.

Thomas: Of course, that was, um… that was my instinct as well.

[ Chuckling ]

Hope: Of course it was.

[ Chuckles ]

Petra: There’s no doubt, you two make magic together.

Steffy: I agree. Hope and thomas are great business partners.

Wyatt: Look, obviously, I know you’ve been struggling with the idea of hope working so closely with thomas.

Liam: Oh, I’m struggling? Have I been struggling? Like I’ve been struggling in school or like I struggle for the driver’s test–

Wyatt: I know.

Liam: That’s very diplomatic of you. I appreciate that.

Wyatt: I’m just wondering, is anything concerning happened?

Liam: Uh, concerning? Did–

Wyatt: Yes.

Liam: Not technically, but that doesn’t mean there’s not gonna be something. I mean, this is how thomas works, right? It’s like nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. And then, oh my god, he was obsessed with hope the whole time, right? I just don’t– I don’t want her and douglas dealing with that again.

Wyatt: I feel for you, man. I’m– I’m sorry.

Liam: Well, don’t, because that’s who hope is and she’s very trusting and that’s one of the things I admire about her, and paradoxically, it also creates a huge blind spot, which is why I’m keeping my eyes peeled in her stead. Uh, make sure nobody takes advantage of it, including and especially “tom*S.”

Brooke: I– I must say, R.J. Really has talent. I mean, this is incredible. Look at how he’s captured your– your mannerisms. Your essence. Look at the hair! Oh, my gosh– no, no.

[ Laughing ] The hands. The hands!

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Taylor: Okay, okay, what is so funny?

Brooke: Oh, my gosh. Okay. I guess you better be careful what you wish for. Because ridge took a pencil and put it in R.J.’S hand, was hoping that he would deliver a brilliant design, and voila.

[ Laughing]

Taylor: Oh, it is– it is the spitting image.

Ridge: What are you laughing at? Why are you piling on? What– what’s happening?

Taylor: Because it’s so easy.

Brooke: Yes, it is.

Ridge: Okay well, I don’t even know why you’re here. Looking for thomas? He’s in a meeting with hope and steffy.

Taylor: I am actually looking for thomas, but okay, fine. I– I– I love that everyone is getting along. I– I love it. The three of us, our daughters. You know what? We’re finally acting like the extended family we should have been all along.

Brooke: Mm.

Taylor: Right?

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: I don’t know. I still think maybe we should raise the waistline a little bit, you know, and make it more marketable to a broader audience?

Thomas: Yeah. Create a better silhouette. Okay. Yeah, great. Petra, thank you so much. You have been wonderful as usual.

Petra: You should see me after work. Really, though. Any time.

Thomas: I’ll remember that.

[ Hope clearing throat ]

Steffy: Well, congratulations, both of you. Looks like hope for the future is back on track. Hopefully that will be reflected when the preorders are released today.

Hope: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I’m kinda nervous about that.

Thomas: Not me. We’re gonna kill it.

Hope: Well, of course you aren’t, you weren’t here when hope for the future was in a downward spiral. And believe me when I tell you, it was not fun. But luckily you’re back now. You’ve given new life to the line and I couldn’t be more grateful. (Buzz) morning!

Wyatt: I mean, I gotta hand it to him. Deacon has done a great job with this place. I mean, this pizza is phenomenal.

Liam: Totally. And vegetarian.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: It’s still good. Right?

Wyatt: All right, it’s okay.

Liam: Mm-hmm.

Wyatt: I think deacon’s surprising a lot of people lately.

Liam: Yeah. But not hope. Because she always believed in her dad and she’s all too happy to rub in our faces that she was right about him.

Wyatt: Yeah. Well, let’s just hope that she’s right about thomas and that he’s got a handle on things. You know what I mean? But I do think it’s a good idea to keep a watchful eye on him.

Liam: I went and talked to him.

Wyatt: What?

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: What did he say?

Liam: Uh, what did he say? What do you think he said? He– he admitted that he’s made mistakes in the past but he’s not that guy anymore. He’s been working on himself. He’s a changed man. He’s definitely, definitely, definitely not obsessed with hope. And I don’t have to worry. You know, it’s all that.

Wyatt: So, you believe him.

[ Liam snorts, giggles ]

Taylor: You know, this is kind of like a– a dawn of a new era. Both our families standing together, supporting each other.

Brooke: Well, what makes me happy is that our daughters followed in our footsteps and ended their rivalry. Maybe they’ll become best friends, like we are.

Taylor: Wouldn’t that be something?

Brooke: It would.

[ Chuckling]

Ridge: I guess that makes you guys trailblazers, right? Because our families are finally together and not fighting anymore.

Taylor: And you know what? I– I know that you don’t fully believe in thomas yet, but I think in time you will. He really is in a good place.

Brooke: I hope he is. For your sakes, as his parents, and for– for hope, too. She has invested a lot in thomas.

Thomas: Hope, I– I can’t tell you how much your faith and your belief in me has meant. It’s incredible. After everything that I did. I hurt you and your mom and I even brought our son into it, and it– it pains me that I did that, but I did and… you somehow were able to see past that and see a future that didn’t involve thomas becoming that person, but being a much better person, and you granted me this opportunity to come back and help design for this line, which I love so much and I know means so much to you. And I just– thank you for that.

Hope: Thomas, you have to stop thanking me. I mean, you’re doing it basically every time you put a pen to a piece of paper and create a new design. But that, that’s you. That’s all you. I mean, thomas, this collection wouldn’t be the same without you, and we know that’s the truth. Uh, look, I think those preorder numbers are in right now, so I’m gonna go check on them.

Thomas: Okay, hold on. Hold on.

[ Chuckles ] You don’t need to cross your fingers. It’s all gonna work out, I promise.

Hope: Okay.

Thomas: What?

Steffy: You are just doing an amazing job, you really are. And I can see that you are turning your life around. Um…

Thomas: It seems like there’s a “but” coming.

Steffy: I just watch you and hope working together. I see how devoted you are to the success of hope for the future, and I know you’ve been focused on it for months, working with hope to save the line.

Thomas: That’s the goal.

Steffy: Yeah, but what about the personal side? I love you, thomas. So, I have to ask. Are you still fixated on hope?

[Bones cracking]

Liam: Listen, the fact of the matter is thomas has shown us all, more than once, how unstable he is. And I just– I don’t– I don’t know, I don’t want hope getting caught up in all the crazy.

Wyatt: But she’s still, like, on the lookout, right? Even though she’s given him the benefit of the doubt.

Liam: Yes. And I– I’m just– I’m just trying to practice letting that be enough. You know, let– letting her exercise her own judgment. It’s just difficult because I– I know how manipulative thomas can be, you know?

Wyatt: Not to mention the blind spot that you were talking about earlier.

Liam: There you go.

Wyatt: Look, man. I get it, all right? Hope’s your wife and your first instinct is to just protect her. Right? But I just want you to be careful. I don’t want you to talk too much about thomas when you’re spending time with hope.

Liam: I will say this. Hope has been working pretty hard to make sure that doesn’t happen. Like, as– as many hours as she’s been putting in–

Wyatt: Yeah?

Liam: She’s consciously carved out time for just the two of us. Her and me, husband and wife.

Wyatt: That’s– that’s great. Love it.

Liam: It’s– it’s been really nice. I– truth is, I don’t know what I did to deserve a woman like hope.

Taylor: Well, it means a lot that you’re willing to see thomas differently. You know, he just– he just wants to make everything right.

Ridge: And I think he is, right? He’s making some really good choices. Personally and professionally. I mean, his– his designs are great. Just full of positivity, right?

Taylor: Yes. Yes. It makes me feel so proud. It makes us proud as parents. And I think in time, thomas is gonna earn your trust, too, just like he did hope’S.

Brooke: That would make me very happy. And so far so good. He seems to be making changes. Let’s just hope it sticks.

Taylor: Oh. I think it will, I really do. He’s doing the work. He healed his relationship with you. He healed his relationship with steffy. That’s a lot. And now steffy and thomas are– are back to annoying each other on a daily basis as it should be.

[ Both chuckling ]

Steffy: Look, I’m not accusing you of anything.

Thomas: I get it. I appreciate your concern.

Steffy: Really?

Thomas: Really. Look, I– I’ve been going to therapy. I’ve been working on myself and digging through the– the darkness in my past, which led to my behavior. And I’m keeping my priorities straight this time. ‘Kay?

Steffy: Yeah. It certainly seems that way.

Thomas: It is. I mean, every morning I wake up, I have all these designs that just are flooding my brain and I have to get them out onto paper. You know, that’s my focus. And then also, you know, being a great dad to douglas is the most important thing in the world and being a good son to mom and dad, and being a great brother to you. Look, I’m– I’m not thinking about hope, and honestly, if she even threw herself at me, I would say no. Not that she would ever do that.

Steffy: No, that wouldn’t happen.

Thomas: No. [ Chuckles ] That’s what I said. It’s just– just a joke.

Steffy: Too soon, bro. Too soon.

Thomas: Okay, fine, fine. It was too soon. I’m sorry. But look, I promise I have all of my priorities straight and I’m in control of my life. You got no reason to worry.

Steffy: Okay.

Thomas: [ Chuckles ] Okay, come on.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Sighs ] Thank god. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Thomas: Get the preorder numbers yet?

Hope: Yep.

Thomas: No, hope, no, no, it can’t be. Are– okay. All right. You know what? Um, I take full responsibility for everything. All right? We’ll– we’ll start over from the ground up, brand new designs.

Hope: Thomas, the numbers weren’t good.

Thomas: I’m getting that.

Hope: They were great.

Thomas: Are you– you joking?

Hope: Off the charts!

Thomas: Why would you– why would–

Hope: Exceeded our expectations! I don’t know, I couldn’t resist. I couldn’t resist.

Thomas: I’m so happy for you.

Hope: No, you should be happy for yourself. I mean, thomas, this comeback wouldn’t have happened without you.

Thomas: No, no, no, it was a team effort.

Hope: Well, yes, but you led that team, thomas. I mean, eric, zende, ridge, those– those are amazing designers, but it never was successful because no one has understood me the way that you do. I mean, working with you this time around, it’s been– it’s been amazing. I mean, it’s like we are in sync on everything. It’s been magical. And now, I mean, there’s no limit to where we can take hope for the future.

Thomas: You’re my inspiration. You know, it’s like it’s– it’s going from your head through these hands, out into the world.

Hope: Well, thank goodness for these hands, then.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Heartbeat thudding ] And thank goodness for you. Thank you for seeing me.

[ Thudding continues ]

[ Thudding fades ]

Thomas: Yeah, I’m so excited. This– this is just the beginning for hope for the future. Yeah, I’m excited for the journey ahead.

Hope: Me, too.

Thomas: Okay, I gotta head across the hall and grab something. Congratulations.

Hope: Back at you.

[ Chuckling ]

Hope: It’s been amazing.

I mean, it’s like we are

in sync on everything.

It’s been magical and now,

I mean,

there’s no limit to where we

can take hope for the future.

[ Door closes ]

Hope: Steffy. Hey, I didn’t realize you were still here.

Steffy: It looks like you were, uh, lost in thought.

Hope: Well, the preorder numbers are in.

Steffy: Yeah, I heard. I saw.

Hope: Saw?

Steffy: Look, my parents and I, we’ve been, uh, very proud of thomas. Obviously, his obsession with you led him to very dark places. But he rose above it. And we thought we could trust you and thomas to be able to work together without it having a bad effect on him.

Hope: And you’ve been right.

Steffy: Absolutely right about thomas. He’s changed. I see that. He realizes what he’s done with you was inappropriate and I know he won’t do that again. What I didn’t know, which I– I never would’ve thought, is that it would… it would be you.

Hope: Me?

Steffy: Yeah. Flirting with thomas.

Hope: What?

Steffy: I saw you, hope. You were looking right in thomas’s eyes, laying it on pretty thick.

Hope: All right, it’s not what you think–

Steffy: I know what I saw. I will not let you derail thomas.

Hope: Steffy, I would never try to–

Steffy: I can’t even believe we’re actually having this conversation. Things were going so well for all of us. Our moms are actually getting along. Thomas finally sees his full potential as a designer and a father. I will not allow you or anyone else to set him back. Do you hear me? So, I’m gonna ask you and ask you once. Do you have feelings for thomas? Hope, I want the truth. Do you have feelings for my brother?

Ridge: Let’s see what you can do. Son, to everybody else, this right here… is nothing, just blank page, right? To us, this is the idea of possibilities, endless possibilities. This is a door we can open, a door to life, right?

Rj: Dad. No, dad, I–

Ridge: No, listen, you were given something. You’re given this incredible gift and grandad has it, he gave it to me, you guys have it. But it doesn’t land in the same place for everybody else. I need to know where it landed with you. Let me see it.

Thomas: What?

Hope: Nothing, it’s just, uh, your creative energy.

Thomas: Well, I just had an idea, had to get it out on the paper, you know? Is– is it too much?

Hope: [ Laughs ] No, never too much. It’s, um, good. I mean, your– your passion is lighting up this entire office. It’s nice to see you in your element again. I’m just happy it’s with me– with hope for the future.

[ Laughs softly ]

Count boucie: You got a nice little establishment here, mr. Sharpe. But obviously, it’s missing something.

Deacon: Let me guess, that something would be you?

Count boucie: Well, you know, right now it’s a nice restaurant, but as a level two sommelier from napa valley and a sommelier to the stars, I can turn il giardino into the “it” restaurant it’s longing to be.

Deacon: “It” restaurant?

Count boucie: The most talked-about, trendsetting, highest reviewed, the best, if you will. Just say the word and count boucie will snap into action.

Orville: Yes!

Deacon: Well, count, your name does convey quite a bit of gravitas. Uh, what’s your background?

Count boucie: Well, I was named after the great count basie, the king of swing.

Deacon: So that makes you the king of sommeliers.

Count boucie: King, perhaps. Count? Most definitely.

[ Laughs ]

Thomas: Thank you for that. You made me feel like I’m alive, you know? It’s almost like my– I’ve been reborn.

Hope: Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Thomas: That’s actually not a bad idea for a design. See? You always never stop inspiring me, it’s– it’s– it’s impressive and you just– you want me to be the best I possibly can be, and you encourage me to do that and– and it means so much, so I’m just– I’m in your debt, hope.

Ridge: You say you’re not interested in design, you don’t want to be part of this company. I get it, I hear you. But it’s in your blood, you can’t deny it. So maybe, just take this pencil, and just maybe, you could surprise yourself. Maybe this is it, maybe this is your true calling, to be here with us. I said, I see it

Deacon: I– I– I gotta tell you, count, you got me thinking, you got me intrigued. All right, tell me about your experience.

Count boucie: My experience?

Deacon: Yeah, you know, uh, who you worked for or where you worked?

Count boucie: Well, the list is long and plentiful. I’ve been requested by some of the most influential people in the world. Movie stars, athletes, politicians, royalty?

Deacon: Wow, so maybe tell me about the last person you worked for.

Count boucie: I’m not apt to kiss and tell, mr. Sharpe. One of the hallmarks of an a-list sommelier is discretion, but my reputation led me here, did it not?

Deacon: You know, actually, I– I thought it was my listing.

Orville: Grandpa?

Count boucie: Uh, I’m working right now, just relax.

Orville: But grandpa, I’m hungry.

Deacon: Well, hey, if you’re hungry, guess what? You’re in the right place.

Orville: What do you mean?

Deacon: What do I mean? I– I tell you what. You tell me what you want to eat and I’m gonna have somebody bring you a plate of whatever it is. How’s that sound?

Orville: Do you have corn?

Deacon: Corn? What, are you kidding me, man? I got fields of corn!

Ridge: Give it a shot, there’s no pressure.

Rj: Yeah, you know just ’cause you say “no pressure” doesn’t mean there is no pressure, right?

Ridge: That’s exactly what it means, there’s no pressure. I don’t care if you do this for a living or not, I just want to see what you’re capable of.

Charlie: Sorry for the intrusion.

Ridge: What is it, charlie?

Charlie: I just wanted you to know that I just finished scaling back all that extra security we had when sheila was the big problem.

Ridge: Okay, do you remember having a conversation where I told you that things like that can be sent in an email? Maybe a note left on pam’s desk? You don’t have to run in here like the building’s on fire.

Charlie: Gee, who– who curdled the big cheese?

[ Laughs ] See what I did there? It’s like a metaphorical image, joke, “curdled cheese”? Get– get it? See?

Rj: Yeah, yep, I got it, thanks. I, uh– I think dad was just, uh, interrupted in the middle of a heartwarming plea to get me to follow in his footsteps.

Charlie: Oh.

Ridge: That’s– that’s not what I’m doing at all, I’m sorry and I’m– what I wanted was for you to take the pencil and let nature do the rest. Because my first design, the first time I ever did this, I remember it like it was yesterday. It’s a big wave that came over me, and it was incredible, and I– I will never forget it. I just thought, if this is something that you may wanna do, that you should have that same euphoric, life-changing moment, that’s all.

Charlie: I know– I know exactly what you mean. I get the exact same feeling every time I go skinny dipping. I mean, a couple of laps in the buff every morning has given me two things. It made me, one, a better protector, and two, it made my neighbor build a higher fence.

Ridge: Make a statement. You can do it.

Hope: I’m proud of you, thomas. All the growth you’ve been showing? It’s been reflecting in your work as well.

Thomas: Really?

Hope: Yeah. Come on, you don’t have to do the pretend humility thing with me, I know you know you’re good.

Thomas: I may be aware. But I– I will say something that I didn’t know. Honestly, I– I had no idea if, uh, the new-and-improved thomas would actually be any good.

Hope: What do you mean?

Thomas: Look, I… I realize this now after putting myself through therapy and digging into this stuff, but in the past, I– I took all of my frustration, my anger, and– and that’s what fuelled me and made me put pen to paper. Very “rage against the machine,” right? And, now, uh, I– I don’t do that anymore and there was a time where I thought I would have no idea if what would come out would actually be of any substance, or good.

Hope: Well, I don’t think you have to worry, thomas, because your designs are on a whole other level now.

Thomas: That’s ’cause of you. You have inspired me from the beginning, but you used to inspire me in a different way, and now, you inspire me with… love. And that is what fuels me and I wake up every morning now with– with all of these designs flowing through my mind and it’s like– it’s a freedom that I have never experienced.

Hope: Peace.

Thomas: Exactly.

Hope: I think it’s evident that you have finally found peace within yourself. And it’s made you not only a better designer, but a better father and a better man as well. Need relief for tired, achy feet?

Deacon: Uh– uh, mr.–

Count boucie: Shh, I’m still reading.

Deacon: Yeah, I– I was just gonna say, if there are any changes you think that I need to make–

Count boucie: Oh, there’ll be changes made if we make this deal.

Deacon: Okay. Uh, oh, great, thank you. All right, here you go. Look at this– you got pizza, you got french fries, and good old california corn.

Orville: I love corn.

[ Deacon laughs ]

Deacon: You know, your grandfather’s a count, so who knows? Maybe some day, you’ll become a colonel. Get it? Kernel? Ah, I guess it was kinda corny, wasn’t it? Count, what can I say, I’m impressed. But there’s only one way to find out you’re as good as you think you are. So, I’m gonna put you to the test.

Count boucie: A test?

Deacon: Yep, blind taste-test. I’m gonna ask you to please leave the room, I’m gonna pour three glasses of wine and I want you to tell me what region they’re from. Sound good?

Count boucie: Brilliant.

Deacon: Mm.

Orville: Corn rules, man.

Ridge: Let it out, son. Trust your instincts.

Charlie: Oh, the suspense is killing me.

Ridge: Anything else I can do for you, charlie?

Charlie: No, thanks.

Ridge: ‘Cause my son and i were having a very important moment.

Charlie: Oh, I know, and I– and I– it is an honor for me to be here, to protect you from any interruptions.

[ Laughs ]

Charlie: I guess I’m the interruption, huh? I– well, you know, I was just– you know what? [ Stuttering ] I’m gonna get out of here and– and leave it. Good luck over there!

Ridge: Charlie!

Charlie: Yeah, all right… good luck, rj!

Ridge: Finished? May I?

Rj: Sure.

Ridge: Really?

Rj: Well, what? You said to draw what inspires you.

Ridge: This– this is what you learned? This? Really? You–

[ Grunts ] All right, very cute. Very cute.

Rj: Thank you, I try.

[ Door opens ]

Thomas: Hot out of the sewing room.

Hope: Oh, this is my favorite part– getting to see our designs come to life.

Thomas: Drumroll, please.

[ Drumming on legs ]

[ Hope gasps ]

Hope: Oh, my gosh, thomas! It’s extraordinary, it’s exactly how we envisioned!

Thomas: I know, it’s beautiful. I– I really wanna see it up and moving, but sadly, we don’t have any models coming in ’til later.

Hope: I can try it on.

Thomas: You sure?

Hope: Yes, it’s fine, I mean, I’m just as anxious as you are to see this design in all its glory!

Thomas: Awesome, thank you!

Hope: All right.

Brooke: Thomas,

he is a bad boy, and you,

my sweet, precious daughter,

you don’t like the bad boys.

Unlike your mother.

[]

Deacon: All right. One of these is french, one is italian, one is californian. Oh, count boucie! We’re ready for you! Please. Okay, so here’s the deal. You’re gonna take a taste from each glass, you’re gonna tell me what region it’s from. One is french, one is italian, one is californian. Should be easy for a guy of your talent.

Count boucie: Delightful! Hmm.

Deacon: All right, count, game time. Italian? French? Or californian?

Count boucie: French!

Deacon: Well done. Next?

Count boucie: Italian.

Count boucie: California like the beach boys.

Deacon: Well, look, you obviously know your stuff, I can’t dispute that.

Count boucie: Well, not only do I know my wine, but I can also charm your customers into buying more product and make you a ton of money! Sound like a plan?

Deacon: All right, all right, yeah, I’m digging it, okay? I am. Let me– let me think about it, but I promise you, I’m gonna get back to you. I really am impressed. Thanks a lot, count. Orville, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Ridge: I don’t really look like this, do I? Come on.

Rj: No, what? No. Not at all.

Ridge: Uh-huh. You’re funny. It shows me how talented you are.

Rj: Thank you, dad, it means a lot coming from someone as accomplished as you.

Ridge: Everyone dreams, you know. There’s only a few of us, a few fortunate people that can take that dream and make it into something that the whole world can experience.

Rj: Dad, that’s exactly what I want to do. I– I know that I can draw, that I can create. I mean, come on, you had me doing this when I was younger, too. I don’t want to design dresses. And please don’t take that as a jab, I love everything about forrester creations. I’m– I’m proud of the work everyone here does. But especially you. I mean, I– I just– I– I want to do my own thing, you know? And build my brand.

Ridge: As an influencer?

Rj: Yes, dad, as an influencer. You know I can hear the disapproval in your voice?

Ridge: That’s not– that’s not– no, it’s just not a career, you know?

Rj: You sound old.

Ridge: I am old! You drew an old man!

[ Laughs ]

Rj: I know, I’M… you know, I didn’t draw that just to be funny. You said to draw what inspires you, and that’s you, dad. You inspire me. I just– I really don’t want to disappoint you, okay? I have to build my own future.

Ridge: I know, come here, I’m not disappointed in you, come here. I love you.

Rj: I love you, too.

Brooke: And you,

my sweet, precious daughter,

you don’t like the bad boys.

Hope: I’m ready!

Thomas: ‘Kay. Wow! Come here. Careful, don’t want to have you fall like last time.

Hope: [ Laughs ] Yeah.

Thomas: Wow. This is great. Uh, do you mind?

Hope: Oh, yeah, sure, sure.

Thomas: ‘Kay. Okay.

[ Hope clears throat ] Is everything okay?

Hope: Yeah, yeah, I’m just… excited about the design.

Thomas: ‘Kay, yeah, I mean, me too, this is– the only thing is, I think I wanna change the hem a little bit, but other than that, it’s– it’s great. This is remarkable.

Hope: What is?

Thomas: Well, the dress, but also, um, the fact that we’re able to work together like this and you can finally trust me.

Brooke: There’s no denying that I’ve always desired the wrong man. Glad you’re not like me that way.

[ Relaxing music ]

Eric: Look who’s here. Well, it appears that, uh, ridge was able to talk you into coming into the office.

Rj: Well, of course, he promised me lunch with you, granddad.

Ridge: You know, I thought we could bring our favorite influencer to our favorite take-out restaurant, see what he thinks. If he likes it, he can tell his friends and his followers can blow it up.

Rj: Hey, if we do that, you’ll probably never be able to get another order in.

Ridge: That’s a good point. Let’s not do that.

Eric: You know, ridge junior seems to be just about as popular as you were at his age.

Ridge: Easy, almost.

Rj: Hey, hey, hey, hey, neither of us are as big a deal as you are, granddad.

Eric: I’m glad you realize that. It’s good to see you, welcome back.

Rj: Good to see you too.

Ridge: Couldn’t agree more.

Rj: Thanks, dad.

Thomas: You know, zende suggested that we do thicker braiding.

Hope: To give it more structure.

Thomas: Yeah, but I’m thinking maybe just on the sides.

Hope: Yeah, so it doesn’t–

Both: Break up the flow.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: I swear, thomas, sometimes you can read my mind.

Daniele: Well, I have to congratulate you, deacon. You’re doing an amazing business over here.

Deacon: Oh, thank you, chef daniele. I gotta tell you, it means a lot coming from a world-renowned chef like yourself.

Daniele: Well, you know, I have to be honest. When I sold the restaurant to you, I was a little bit nervous, but il giardino is a hit. Well done, deacon.

Deacon: I gotta say, our clientele, they expect a lot.

Daniele: But the pizza must be perfect.

Deacon: Mm-hmm. Oh.

Daniele: Look at that.

Deacon: Yes. This is amazing. So much flavor in the crust and the– the texture. How do you do this?

Daniele: When you have a lot of business, you turn up the heat.

Deacon: So cook it faster.

Danielle: No, no, no longer. Slower and longer.

Deacon: Longer.

Danielle: Yes. A drop in 15 degrees temperature, it will make the crust go puffier, airier, crispier. Look at that.

Deacon: Well, if it tastes as good as this one, I’m gonna have to hire a bouncer to handle the lines outside.

Daniele: Cheers this.

Deacon: Yeah. Mm. So good.

Deacon: All right, enough pasta.. I’m gonna eat this whole damn pie. Chef, I just want to thank you so much for– for putting your faith in me, for your wisdom and your guidance. You’re the best.

Daniele: Well, my mom in naples was the best. She taught me. I’m teaching you and look at you, deacon, you’re a success. Good job.

Deacon: Well, I hope so. I mean, I got a long way to go, but uh, I’ll tell you I wouldn’t mind making a little more money.

Hope: Where is that sketch that you were showing me earlier? The one you were working on?

Thomas: Uh, this one?

Hope: Oh, yes. Oh, it turned out so great. I love that you brought the pattern all the way down. I mean, it really helps the way that it–

Thomas: The way that it drapes.

Hope: Exactly.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: You know, thomas, no one does casual sophistication the way that you do.

Thomas: Hey, that’s the heart and soul of california fashion, right? And that’s what forrester creations is known for. But we always do it with a little bit of an unexpected twist.

Hope: Um, segue, uh, speaking of unexpected twists, have you seen much of rj since he’s been back?

Charlie: Oh, well, you look at this. What do we have here? We’ve got double trouble. Right here at our stage. We got ridge senior and ridge junior. Welcome.

Rj: Hey, charlie. Do you have that, uh, new badge for me?

Charlie: Yeah, I– yeah, I, but you know, we need to redo the picture because your I would– it’s on pammy’s desk.

Ridge: It’s a good thing to have. You’re gonna come in every day. You should have one.

Charlie: What? What? That’s great. Welcome aboard rj.

Rj: No, no, not quite, charlie.

Eric: Maybe, uh, maybe someday.

Rj: I mean, if I was working here, it would give me more time to hang out with the coolest guy I know.

Charlie: Oh, stop.

Eric: It’s me.

Ridge: Well, here we are. Finally got you back here from halfway across the world. Now, just gotta figure out how to keep you. People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Daniele: You want to make more money, deacon?

Deacon: Doesn’t everybody? Which is why I’m gonna be hiring a new wine sommelier. And as a matter of fact, I should have one coming any minute.

Daniele: That’s a great idea.

Deacon: You know, il giardino is a classy place. We gotta– we gotta lean into that, you know. Really step it up, find somebody who knows what they’re doing, with some flair, with some sprezzatura. You know, that’s– that’s where you really make the money.

Daniele: Of course, I agree on that. But remember, people come in for the food. Freshest ingredients from the farmers’ market. The local produce is everything. That’s what people come in–

Deacon: No, I get it. I get it. I mean, if I don’t do those things right, all the flash in the world isn’t gonna make a difference.

Daniele: Well, you are my friend.

Deacon: Oh, come on, you gotta go so soon?

Daniele: Yes, I’m off, my friend.

Deacon: Oh, chef daniele, thank you so much for everything. For your advice, your friendship. Don’t be a stranger, okay?

Daniele: I won’T. Remember, keep up the quality and the money will come, my friend. Ciao.

Deacon: Ciao. Money, money, money, money, money. Show me the money!

Boucie: Did somebody just say my favorite word? Money!

Rj: So, tell me about the hot new takeout place.

Ridge: Dad, let me ask you something. Why is it every time I bring up work, this one changes the subject?

Charlie: Well, uh, lunch will unfortunately have to wait. Uh, the big boss has a meeting.

Ridge: No, my schedule’s clear.

Charlie: Nah, nah, nah, nah, no, the O.G. Big boss. The original uh, big, in this case, the original granddaddy big boss, this guy, him.

Ridge: Excuse me.

Eric: Yeah, thanks for the reminder. I appreciate it, charlie. It’s a video conference. It shouldn’t take too long.

Ridge: Why don’t you take it here?

Rj: Yeah, I– I can help you with the lighting, the background.

Eric: You know, actually I have the ring light and the tripods set up just down the hall, so I’ll do that.

Rj: Wow, I’m impressed.

Eric: Well, I have an influencer friend who gave me some tips, you know. I know how to do this.

Rj: Well, it’s nice to know I have at least one big time celebrity follower.

Eric: I’m proud of you. I’ll be right back.

Rj: All right.

Ridge: Well, there you go. The forrester men, now they know how to put on a show. Your granddad taught me, but it turns out no one had to teach you. You know all this stuff already. You know what? That kind of knowledge could come in very handy around here.

Thomas: You know, when you asked me back to hope for the future, I vowed to do it right this time. Because that’s what you and the company needed from me, and douglas too. Total commitment. And that’s how this company started, you know. Granddad was totally committed to what he was doing and I’m gonna be that and more. I’m gonna take hope for the future beyond anything forrester creations has ever done.

Hope: Yeah. Well, we hit a slump when we could least afford to have one and things looked pretty bleak, but thanks to your help, we were able to turn things around.

Thomas: Thrilled to do it.

Hope: Yeah, I just wanna make sure though that you don’t get so caught up in this, that you don’t have any time for yourself, or to spend with douglas.

Thomas: Oh, I promise that’s not gonna happen. And we had so much fun at the game last weekend.

Hope: Remind me again, how many hot dogs did you let that boy eat? Was it?

Thomas: Uh, not as many as me. Look, I promise it wasn’t as many as me. And uh, and I also– gosh, we had– we always have fun when we’re together, but um, I– I did let him know that obviously you and I are just really busy right now.

Hope: That is true. And I guess that answers my question from earlier, about rj. I mean, I know you saw him when he first got home, but I’m guessing you haven’t had any time to spend with him since?

Thomas: Not really. Honestly, we just haven’t crossed paths or had a chance to connect.

Hope: So, you haven’t been avoiding rj at all? And I’m just curious about how you really feel about rj being back. That’s all. She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Boucie: Might you be deacon sharpe, the proprietor of this fine dining establishment?

Deacon: Ah, yeah. And you are?

Boucie: Count boucie, master sommelier to the stars and the answer to all your dreams. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance fine, sir.

Deacon: Uh, yeah. Pleasure’s mine. Who’s this?

Boucie: Uh, that’s my grandson.

Orville: Hi.

Deacon: Hi.

Boucie: I hope it’s all right that I brought him along.

Deacon: Yeah, no problem.

Orville: Gramps, I’m hungry.

Boucie: Ah, we’ll get something to eat in a little while. Just go sit down and–

Orville: But gramps, I’m hungry.

Boucie: Just sit down. We’ll be right with you.

Deacon: I’m guessing you saw my ad for a wine expert?

Boucie: And count boucie is the man you are looking for.

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Thomas: How do I feel about rj being back? I think it’s great.

Hope: Okay. I wasn’t sure.

Thomas: Well, I mean, I know that dad and brooke really missed him.

Hope: Well, so have I.

Thomas: You understand why he stayed away though, right? He just wanted to avoid the family drama.

Hope: Yeah, but he knows we’re past that now.

Thomas: Yeah, he does.

Hope: Yeah, I mean, I’ve been updating him on everything. I mean, mom and taylor are being besties now. Bill helping ridge put sheila back in jail. I mean, douglas is home. He knows we’re on better terms now.

Thomas: Yeah. Everything seems kind of copacetic, doesn’t it?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Let’s hope it stays that way.

Thomas: I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’T.

Hope: Wow, that is good to hear. I just know that I’m thrilled that rj is back home, in los angeles, but I understand if your feelings are a little more complicated, nuanced, complex.

Rj: You know, I’m not kidding. Grandpa is 100% a-list.

Ridge: Ha. He would love to hear you say that. And it’s great to see him so happy with donna too.

Ridge: Yeah. Well, you know, those logan women bring it out in the forrester men.

Rj: Oh, yeah. And vice versa.

Ridge: Well, it’s working for them.

Rj: But not you and mom?

Ridge: Listen, your mom and I, we– we have some great memories and we created you. This incredible kid.

Rj: Well, it’s great that she’s in a happier place now.

Ridge: It is great.

Rj: You look happy too.

Ridge: Of course, I’m happy, you’re back. I mean, your mom and I, we couldn’t be happier.

Rj: Well, I mean, I’m– I think the whole truce with taylor plays a part in it too, right?

Ridge: Yeah. No, I’m sure it does. And– and if I had known that that was a possibility, I would have encouraged it years ago.

Rj: Well, you know, from what I’ve heard, it definitely sounds like you, uh, played a part in making it happen, so.

Ridge: Really? You’re gonna do that?

Rj: Yeah.

Ridge: So you came back just to rub it in. Is that it?

Rj: No, dad. I– I’m just, I’m– I’m just curious, you know what’s going on between you and mom?

Deacon: Uh, so you’re a count?

Boucie: Uh, at your service.

Deacon: And a wine sommelier?

Boucie: Not any wine sommelier.

Deacon: All right, you– you service the stars.

Boucie: Uh, you inquired about said services. You won’t find anybody better than count boucie. I have an exceptional wine mind and a distinguished palate. Give me a chance and uh, I’ll prove it to you.

Deacon: Um. Oh.

Hope: I just get it, okay? It’s your baby half-brother rj. I understand if there are some competitive feelings there.

Thomas: He, look, he hasn’t been around in a long time and it may take us a minute to– to reconnect, but I don’t see him as competition. And also– oh yeah, I– I– I look, I promise. I– I meant what I said. I’m glad that he’s back and if he wants to come and work here, I will make him feel welcome.

Hope: Of course, you would.

Thomas: Look, I am glad that he’s back, but more than me, I think that your mom and my dad are really glad that he’s back.

Ridge: What did you ask me? You asked me how things are between me and your mom? Was that it?

Rj: No, if you don’t want to talk about it–

Ridge: No, it’s not that I don’t wanna talk about it. I just– I’d appreciate it if you’re not gonna play matchmaker.

Rj: No, dad. Come on, I’m not gonna do that.

Ridge: Well, we’ve already had it, right? Steffy and thomas, they wanted me back with their mom and that didn’t work out well.

Rj: Yeah, well, thomas did a little more than he should have. But like I said, I don’t wanna get involved in any family drama.

Ridge: Well, I think that’s wise.

Rj: Thanks.

Ridge: And as far as your mom and me, we’re um, I don’t know. We’re just chilling.

Rj: Chilling.

Ridge: Yeah, chilling. We’re just gonna leave it alone for now.

Rj: Right. ‘Cause you’re so good at that. Come on, dad. I know what you’re like when you set your mind on something, talk to me, talk to me.

Ridge: Now, that’s another forrester trait that you were given.

Rj: Yeah, it’s an invaluable one, as long as we’re not butting heads.

Ridge: We’re not, right? We’re not butting heads.

Rj: No, no, no, not us.

Ridge: You know why? ‘Cause I’m glad that you’re here. I’m– I’m so happy to see you and so impressed with the man that you’ve become. The man that– that you’re becoming. I need to talk about the future a little bit and it’s not, there’s no pressure here. It’s just– it’s what I told granddad, you know. You’re– you’re talented and you– you– you have, um, you have this passion and understanding for something.

Rj: And– and I’m– I’m using it.

Ridge: Yeah, I know you’re using it. Yes, you are. You’re traveling, you’re seeing the world, you’re– you’re– you’re living your best life and I love that. But you were given something. You were given a gift. I don’t know if it started with your granddad, I think it did, but he gave it to me. He gave it to thomas, you have it. It’s a gift to create beauty. And I see it in you. I see it in your work, I see it in your videos, your art. You look at– at the world in a– in a– in a very unique way and whatever you see, you find a way to– to make it tangible for everybody. I need you to do something for me. I need you to show me. No, I don’t, I– no, you don’t need to show me because I already know. You need to show yourself because I’m convinced you could be the greatest designer that forrester has ever seen.

[ Relaxing music ]

Finn: Hey, I came home from the hospital as soon as I could. Glad you survived your visit with sheila.

Steffy: She’s in prison, finn, we don’t have to be afraid anymore.

Finn: Still. I was just… I was worried about you.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: How’d it go?

Steffy: It was incredible. It was everything I needed and more, just being able to see her squirm behind bars where she belongs.

Sheila: Well, there must have been a part of you that was happy to hear from me, or else you wouldn’t be here. I’m right. Aren’t I, jack? You’re as lonely as I am. Okay, wait, stop. Just stop. I needed to see you because you criminal defense attorneys in all of california. I need you to help me, jack.

Bill: I want our life back.

Wyatt: Hey, we didn’t see katie’s car in the driveway. I– I thought she was staying over for lunch.

Liam: Yeah.

Bill: She just left.

Wyatt: Already?

Bill: Yeah.

Wyatt: Oh, no, I’m sorry.

Liam: Didn’t go the way you hoped, huh? Shoot.

Carter: Look who’s back.

[ Katie sighing contentedly ]

Katie: Yeah. Sorry about the late lunch. Wouldn’t wanna upset my handsome C.O.O.

Carter: C.O.O. Understands that unpredictable circumstances come up from time to time.

Katie: Yeah, unpredictable.

Carter: So, how’d it go with bill?

Bill: Who says I struck out?

Liam: Uh, no, well, j– just figured since, you know, katie already left.

Bill: Okay, danny downer and his brother dirk.

[ Liam snorting ]

Wyatt: Why dirk?

Bill: Anyway, I didn’t expect katie to move in here and just resume our life right away. But I don’t think that day is too far off.

Carter: Well, first, I wanna tell you that I appreciate you for being open with me about your date with bill.

Katie: Can we please stop calling it a date? It was not a date. And I will never keep secrets from you. Honestly, I’m not surprised that bill wants me back.

Carter: Well, look at you, katie. I’m not surprised either.

Katie: He always wants me when he thinks he can’t have me. He says that he misses me and misses our life together.

Carter: And what about you? Do you feel the same way?

Finn: I know how you feel.

Steffy: But you’re not thrilled that I paid sheila a visit?

Finn: Especially by yourself? I could’ve gone with you, steffy.

Steffy: And make sheila’s dreams come true? Her precious son goes to see his psychopath birth mom. No way, we– we cannot give her that satisfaction. I love you for being concerned, but sheila has no power over us anymore.

Sheila: It means a lot that you came to see me.

Jack: Don’t flatter yourself, sheila. You wanna know why I’m here?

Sheila: Oh, you were intrigued by my suggestive emails?

Jack: No. I need to tell you in person to leave me alone, sheila. I want nothing to do with you. So, stop writing, stop sending me emails. Do you understand me? Do I make myself clear?

These are the people, who help you stay well.

Liam: Well, I gotta say, dad, I’m hearing a lot of confidence.

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, you do sound pretty convinced that you and katie are gonna get back together.

Bill: Gotta have a little faith in life, wyatt.

Liam: This is true. This is true. They did get to have lunch together, I mean–

Bill: Well, she didn’t actually stay for the meal, but I’m telling you, katie was moved. I could feel it.

Wyatt: Oh, you guys got a nice stroll down memory lane.

Bill: Yeah. Memories that, uh, katie will never forget. I mean, that’s what she said.

Liam: Well, of course, yeah, your relationship had challenges, but look at all the good stuff. You got will out of it, you know.

Bill: A son that will bond us forever.

Wyatt: Exactly.

Liam: What about carter? ‘Cause it kind of seems like those two are serious.

Bill: Katie definitely cares about him, which doesn’t discourage me, but I know that I have a battle on my hands.

Carter: Do you feel the same way as bill?

Katie: Hmm. My feelings for bill aren’t simple. No, they’re complicated. I won’t lie about that. He’s the father of my son. We have a long history. Some of that history is good. Some of that history is not so good. I mean, I’d gotten to the point where I had lost all faith in bill.

Carter: Then he surprises all of us by putting sheila carter in prison.

Katie: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he– he frustrates me to no end, and then he does something brave and he sacrifices himself, puts himself in danger so that sheila can be locked up for the rest of her life.

Steffy: Then sheila’s exactly where she’s supposed to be.

Finn: Well, finally.

Steffy: I mean, you should have seen her. She looked so small, in every sense of the word, like her smug bravado, gone. She just looked sad and helpless, and she should. She’s gonna die in that place.

Finn: I wonder if reality has sunk in yet.

Steffy: Well, she’s gonna have to find a way to accept her fate because there is nothing and no one that can get sheila out of there.

Sheila: You’re my only hope.

Jack: I’m not anything to you, sheila.

Sheila: That’s not true. I can’t accept that you don’t want to see me anymore. It’s like I said, I see the loneliness in your eyes, jack. It’s okay. I mean, you– you can talk to me. I know things haven’t been easy for you lately.

Jack: [ Chuckles ] That’s an understatement. Li won’t even return my calls since she found out about our affair, that you’re finn’s birth mother. My marriage is basically dead. And my relationship with finn is not the same as it was.

Sheila: I’m sorry.

Jack: You save that. I don’t want to hear that from you. Not with all the unspeakable things that you’ve done. You shot our son, you shot finn.

Sheila: That was an accident. You’ve got to believe that, because I love finn more than my own life. He is a remarkable, amazing man and he’s the best thing that you and I have ever done. Our son, jack. Our son. (Music throughout)

Liam: You know, I– I’ve gotten to know carter pretty well over the years. So has wyatt.

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, he’s a pretty good guy.

Bill: I don’t disagree. I have no personal beef with carter.

Liam: Except that you’re both into the same woman.

Bill: Uh-huh. Now, for all the criticism I get, carter’s not perfect either.

Liam: I’m not saying– that’s not what I– did I say that? I’m not– no, nobody’s– nobody’s flawless. I’m just– I’m just saying–

Bill: Well, well, listen, kid, she’s pretty damn close. She is a living angel. And right now she has her walls up with me and I– I can’t blame her. I hurt her and I regret that more than I can say, but I will prove to her that she is the only woman for me, and she’ll be my katie again.

Carter: Did he call you his katie?

[ Katie laughs ]

Katie: Oh, he said a lot of things. And I’m– I’m gonna be totally honest with you. He tried to kiss me. I wouldn’t let him because I didn’t want to, because of you. Because of us.

Carter: Us. I love that word.

Katie: Me too. We actually talked about you quite a bit.

Carter: I’m sure he was really excited about that.

Katie: He loved– he loved it. Yeah, I told him that you were um, you were kind and you were caring and funny and– and best of all– best of all, you’ve never fallen for my sister.

Carter: That is true. That’s a– a score one for me.

Katie: Yeah, that’s a gold star. I wanted him to know how important you are to me and how good you make me feel. I want you to know how much you mean to me.

Carter: I have a pretty good idea.

Katie: Good guy.

Steffy: How was your visit with your mom?

Finn: It was good to touch base with her.

Steffy: You tell her where I went?

Finn: I did, and to say that she was shocked, would be an understatement.

Steffy: Maybe li and i should pay sheila a visit. Could you imagine sheila having to face that? She’d probably go crying back to her cell.

Finn: My mom’s another one of sheila’s victims.

Steffy: Finn, your mom could have died.

Finn: What now? No, it’s– it’s more than that. I mean, what sheila and my dad did before I was born. Like that affair and that– that secret finally coming out. My mom is a strong woman, but I know how much that shattered her faith in my father.

Sheila: Jack, you’re alone, a broken man. Your son doesn’t respect you. Li has shut you out. You have nothing.

Jack: Why would i listen to you?

Sheila: Because I understand. You know, the next time you are feeling down and alone, I just want you to think back to that night where finn was conceived and how much we loved one another and the life that we could have had. We… we still can.

Jack: This is it, sheila. This is your life. You confessed to murder. They’re never gonna let you out of here.

Sheila: I just want you to remember. Just remember us and how good we were together. And it wasn’t just about passion and sex, a filthy fling. No, it was a lot more than that. You know it was. You said so. You told me you loved me and I loved you too. I’m barbara and I’m fromst. Joseph, michigan.

Finn: I worry about my mom.

Steffy: Why?

Finn: She’s just– she’s still so angry at my dad. I– she hasn’t been able to find any forgiveness at all and not– not for his sake, but just, you know, for herself so she could move forward.

Steffy: Yeah, but what about you? How do you feel? I mean, you don’t really talk about jack that much.

Finn: Honestly, I don’t know how I feel about him. There’s a lot of confusing emotions. I mean, on one hand, I mean, I’m– I’m hurt that he would keep such a huge secret from me and my mom all these years. He owed it to us to tell the truth.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. He did.

Finn: But then, on the other hand, my dad was an incredible father. You know, I was always loved and appreciated and supported in every single way. It’s just my parents and I, we were so close, and when I think about my mom learning that my dad cheated on her. And the child that they adopted, me, was his son from an affair and it’s something that he knew about all these years and kept secret. I mean, what kind of man does that? I mean, it’s no surprise my mom is so upset and hurt. It makes us both question everything, you know? And it makes me wonder how close were sheila and my dad all those years ago.

Steffy: But finn, if that affair hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have you. And I wouldn’t have hayes. I’m sorry about what you’re going through but just know, I am with you every step of the way.

Sheila: What we shared was more than just one night. We loved one another. You were hungry for me. You couldn’t get enough of me. But you were married and we had to hide our affair while I carried your child inside of me. Our child. Do you remember the very first time you came to see me after I had finn? How much I wanted you? I wanted you to be my husband. I wanted you to marry me. I was so excited about what could be. The joy and it where– where things could go, but you didn’t want to leave your wife. You didn’t want to hurt her. So I– I gave you our son. You and li adopted our son. And now all these years later, your marriage to li is over and your relationship with finn is irrevocably damaged.

Jack: That’s true. But look at you, sheila. Look around, look where you are.

Sheila: Yeah, you’re right. I want you to take a look around, locked up in this filthy place. You know life has turned into a very lonely, shallow existence for both of us. And yet here we– we are yet again, face to face. We can make something good out of this and we had that magic before, jack. We can do it again.

Jack: Not on your life. Don’t email me, don’t try to contact me. I’ll never see you again, sheila. Hear me? Never. Guard, let me out.

Guard: I’ll be back for you.

Sheila: Yeah, I’ve been emailing you, writing letters, and no response. I… I almost thought that maybe I should give up. But look, it worked. You came. Thank you. It really means a lot to me that you’re here.

Eric: This is really good, carter. I like how you resolved all these issues. You did a great job. Although I shouldn’t be surprised, you do a great job for this company. That’s why you’re so important to us, all of us, and to the family, too.

Carter: I’m honored you feel that way. And speaking of family, you must be excited to have your grandson back in town.

Eric: Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m more than happy, I’m– I’m thrilled.

Carter: Yeah, it’s good to see R.J. And ridge can’t stop talking about how happy he is to have his son back.

Eric: That kid’s really going places, you know. He makes all these videos. They’re– they’re all over the internet. It’s great.

Carter: Yeah, I follow him.

Eric: Yeah, me, too. Carter? What’s going on? You okay?

Carter: Yeah.

Eric: It just seems like you’re a little off balance.

Carter: I think my mind might be over at the spencer estate, if I’m being honest. Katie went to see bill. She’s with him as we speak.

Eric: Yeah.

Bill: Feels good hearing you appreciate me.

Katie: Well, what you did was very brave. Going up against sheila carter like that, it was risky. It could’ve turned out a lot differently for you. And I’m glad that it didn’t, especially for will’s sake.

Bill: And for yours, too? Maybe a little? I’m glad you agreed to come over, katie. I miss you. The house misses you.

Katie: The house?

Bill: Yeah, the house. I mean, look around. You feel it, too, don’t you? The energy. This is where you belong, katie. This is your home.

Eric: Carter, you shouldn’t let that bother you. Katie at bill’S. I mean, they share a son. They’re always gonna have things to talk about from time to time.

Carter: I understand, but there’s more to it. It’s not just two parents getting together to talk about their child. No. No, no, no, bill’s got ideas.

Eric: Ideas? Uh-huh. And these ideas concern you because you have feelings for katie–

Carter: I don’t wanna see katie hurt again.

Bill: I’m not trying to pressure you, katie. I respect that you wanted some time away from me, that you… needed a temporary split.

Katie: Temporary, huh?

Bill: As far as I’m concerned. You’ve got to miss it a little bit? Me, this home, the place where we shared some of the greatest moments of our lives. I remember. And I know that you remember, too.

Sheila: Thank you for– for coming. I– I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision for you.

Jack: Every instinct tells me I shouldn’t be here. What do you want, sheila?

Sheila: It is so good to see you, jack.

[ Chuckles ] (Music throughout)

Carter: Bill’s hurt katie too many times already. He’s hurt her in ways that–

Eric: Katie’s smart, all right? She’s not gonna let bill deceive her again. Especially when there’s a– a better option at hand. You two have not, uh, exactly been able to hide how you feel about each other.

Carter: Yes,

katie, this is real.

We just made love.

That’s so much better.

Katie: You’re right.

It was love.

Carter: It’s true. Katie’s become very special to me. I wanna give her all the good things.

Eric: Good. Yeah, especially in opposition to how things have been with him all these years. Look, I’m with you. I don’t wanna see katie’s fragile heart in– in– in bill spencer’s hands.

Bill: Chef said about 10 more minutes. Can I get you something to drink while we’re waiting?

Katie: Uh, no– no, I’m– I’m good. I actually– I– I– I’m kind of rethinking whether I should stay for a meal.

Bill: Well, it’s kind of an important part of having lunch together, don’t you think?

Katie: Yeah, it’s just that I– I should’ve been clearer about my intentions. I– I wanted to come by to reiterate how grateful I am for what you did with sheila, but anything else…

Bill: Because of carter?

Katie: I told you how much I’m enjoying getting to know him.

Bill: Well, how well do you know him, katie? What exactly is going on between you two?

Katie: I’m sure you don’t want me to get into details.

Bill: What about me? You did kiss me, after all, when you found out the truth of what was really going on with sheila.

Katie: Yes, and as I recall, I slapped you as well. Bill, you and carter are just two very different people.

Bill: Well, I’ll give him credit for one thing. Smart man, falling for you.

Jack: This was a mistake.

Sheila: No, no, come on, please. At least– at least hear me out.

Jack: What can you possibly have to say that I’d want to hear, sheila?

Sheila: Well, I’ve had a lot of time, um… to think here, jack.

Jack: To think about your crimes? Good. Sort of the point.

Sheila: About my past and better days. And I realized that a lot of those were with you. I… those early years with you and I treasure those memories. I treasure those moments and– and none of them more than the night that we conceived finn.

[ Laughs ] He saved my life, you know.

Jack: Yeah, I know.

Sheila: Finn didn’t have to do that. He could have let me die. But he didn’T. I mean, that’s the man that you raised. Our boy, jack. Our boy. Tv: Try tide power pods with 85% more tide in every pod.

Sheila: You know, I– I couldn’t be more proud of our son and the man that he turned out to be. And I owe you thanks for that, jack, the way you raised him.

Jack: What are you trying to do here, sheila?

Sheila: Maybe… we can help one another?

Jack: If you think you could drag me into your madness or that I would ever help you in any way… you’re even crazier than I thought.

Carter: Look, eric, you and I can understand that bill’s no good for katie, but our opinion doesn’t exactly count. She has to know it, too.

Eric: I’m pretty sure she does.

Carter: Intellectually, yes. But emotionally, when you throw that in the mix, there’s a history there, eric. A marriage full of memories. A child they both adore.

Eric: And you’re scared that he’s gonna remind her of that? That he’s gonna convince her that, uh, he deserves another chance?

Carter: He’s already proven that he’s the hero, right? He took down sheila carter.

Eric: That was a team effort.

Carter: Okay, but it all hinged on bill, his performance, and there’s no denying that it’s changed the way everyone looks at him, including katie.

Eric: Look, carter, two opposing things can be true at the same time. On the one hand, you know, bill’s a big hero. He saved his whole family from a psychotic killer. On the other hand, he’s the worst possible partner that katie could have in this world. So, I’m not gonna worry about it. Look, it doesn’t matter how much he rattles on about having a third and fourth, and fifth chance. You have to have faith that katie’s not gonna fall for it.

Carter: I hope not. I mean, how could she ever believe bill’s feelings for her? Knowing deep down, they’ll never compare to what he feels for her sister.

Katie: You say carter is a smart man. Well, I agree. He’s very smart, he’s very accomplished.

Bill: Odd. Where’s the part where we’re supposedly very different?

Katie: Well, he’s never fallen for my sister, so that’s a huge plus.

Bill: Can we leave brooke out of it?

Katie: I wish– I wish we could. I wish you would have. Things would have been really different. I suppose you’ve heard about the pact that brooke and taylor have made. They’re gonna put their friendship first and they’re swearing off ridge.

Bill: Yeah, that pact will never last.

Katie: Well, I think it will. I can’t speak for taylor, but brooke, she’s pretty committed to staying true to it. So, she’s available.

Bill: And I’m sure the right guy is out there for her. But if you’re suggesting that’s me, katie–

Katie: You want her. You know you do. So, now’s your chance. You– she’s all alone. She’s all alone in that big house, so you should make your move. You know you want to. Go to her.

Bill: There was a time when I would have raced right over. I will admit that she had a hold on me. But it had an expiration date and that time has passed. You are the only woman I want, katie. You are the only woman I need. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Eric: Carter, bill’s feelings for brooke will always be in the back of katie’s mind. You have to– you have to feel confident that– that alone is gonna keep her away from him.

Carter: I hear you and I definitely wanna believe that. Katie deserves better than what bill has to offer.

Eric: No, there’s no question about that. She deserves the kind of life that you will give her.

Carter: I’d like the chance. And the way I feel for katie, the happiness I want to give her, the joy, the–

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Carter: The laughter.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Carter: Just put me in coach, I’m ready.

Eric: Oh, you’re in the game, you’re in the game. I mean, I’ve seen the way she looks at you. I’m on your side.

Carter: Thank you, eric.

Eric: Yeah.

Carter: Belated

merry christmas, katie.

Katie: Beautiful.

Katie: I should go. This was– this isn’t productive.

Bill: Okay, okay, okay. Just humor me first.

Katie: I’m kind of all out of jokes.

Bill: Yeah. Humor me by sitting here with me on this couch for a couple of minutes, in this room where we spent so many evenings together, unwinding. You with a– with a book in your hand, me with a whiskey. We would talk about our day and sometimes we would just sit together enjoying the mutual silence. And I would watch you, admiring my beautiful katie. Will you please do that with me? Just– just sit here. Just for a couple of minutes. I want to remember what that felt like. And I want to remind you that the majority of time that we spent together, was really great. So many incredible memories, katie, beautiful moments, positive, happy times.

I said something

when I proposed

and I’m going to say it again,

in front of all these people.

I want you, katie.

I want our family.

I want our life together.

Nothing means more to me.

Katie: You’re not wrong. We– we shared a lot of beautiful moments.

Bill: And we will again. I mean it, katie. I swear I mean it. You are the only woman for me. I want our life back. I want the future that we should have been sharing together.

Sheila: You know, there’s really no reason to be cruel. I just thought that you loved our son as much as I did.

Jack: I do.

Sheila: I gave him to you. I gave you the most important gift that you will ever receive.

Jack: I’m supposed to give you something in return? Is that what you’re thinking, sheila?

Sheila: You’re a criminal defense attorney, jack, one of the finest in all of los angeles. I just– I just have a few questions. I mean, what– what went down to put me here? Why am I locked up?

Jack: Because you killed people, sheila. Because you are…

[ Sighs ] I’m not doing this.

Sheila: Oh, come on.

Jack: I’m not answering your questions–

Sheila: And yet you’re here. And you came of your own free will, your choice. Why? I think we both know.

Jack: Why are you looking at me like that, sheila?

Sheila: Because I recognize it.

Jack: Recognize what?

Sheila: Don’t you remember how drawn we were to one another? And yes, the years have gone by, but that connection between us, it– it hasn’t changed. Yes, we have led very different lives. But I see us as our younger selves and I know so many things really have remained the same.

Jack: What are you trying to get at?

Sheila: You were lonely. Lee was devoted to her career. She didn’t pay attention to your needs and your wants. And I was lonely, too. I mean, that’s what sparked everything between us. What led to finn. And I– I look at you now and I see that hollow look in your eyes and that sadness in your face, as it was before. You’re lonely again. Just like me.

[ Relaxing music ]

Katie: This is why I left you, bill. But it’s also why I love you.

[ Bill sighing ]

Carter: You’re thinking about it too, huh?

Katie: You mean what happened earlier at your place?

Carter: Big step.

Katie: It’s a major step. And both of us kind of said “it,” without saying it, you know? We don’t need those three little words, even though that’s what we were feeling.

Carter: Are feeling.

Katie: Yeah. Mm-hmm. I know that neither one of us really wanted to rush things. Wanted to take our time getting to know each other.

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Katie: And I’m glad we did.

Carter: Me too. In fact, you know, you can stay here and we can keep getting to know each other.

Katie: Oh? Really?

Carter: You don’t need to go see bill, do you?

Sheila: You know– what– what is this room? I’ve never been in here before.

Guard: Your visitor, it’s another inmate.

Sheila: Another inmate.

Mike: Hey, doll face.

Carter: Bill’s made it more than clear that he wants you back.

Katie: Well, contrary to what bill spencer might think, he doesn’t always get what he wants.

Brooke: Oh! Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to interrupt.

Katie: Uh, that’s okay. I was just leaving. I have a date with bill.

Brooke: Oh!

Katie: I’ll see you later.

Carter: Have fun.

Katie: Bye.

Sheila: I can’t believe it.

Mike: Yeah.

Sheila: Oh, it’s really you.

Mike: Your old pal, mike guthrie, in the flesh. Surprise, surprise.

Sheila: It certainly is.

Mike: Believe it or not. I’m still in this place. We’re staying in the same five star high class joint. But I wanted to check on you and make sure you were okay myself. I heard about the heart episode. I was worried about you. How’s the ticker?

Sheila: Still ticking.

Mike: But you’re doing better now, right? I mean, look at you. You look like a mill.

Sheila: Oh, I guess it’s the, uh, the five star cuisine that they’ve been feeding me.

Mike: Glad to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor. Kind of hard not to. This place.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, I– I never thought… that I’d be locked up again.

Mike: Oh, yeah. Didn’t expect your savior, bill spencer, to double cross you either. But holy moly, babe, did he ever.

Katie: Don’t tell me you picked those yourself?

Bill: What if I said I did?

Katie: I would ask you what you’ve done with the real bill spencer.

Bill: So, I thought we would, uh, eat by the pool. The chef is setting it up now.

Katie: That sounds nice.

Bill: You know, since you wouldn’t have dinner with me the other night.

Katie: It’s not that I wouldn’t have dinner with you. I just had other plans.

Bill: Other plans. Hm. Like a yoga class.

Katie: Sort of.

Bill: Well. Since the other night didn’t pan out, I’m glad today did. I am seeing you here. In this house. The house where we raised our son. It just feels right, katie. Like you’re finally home. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Mike: Must be rough, being back in the slammer again.

Sheila: I– I hate this. Being locked up like a caged animal, just wondering if this is the way that– that I’m gonna be spending the rest of my life.

Mike: Don’t go there. One day at a time.

Sheila: Yeah, well, that might work for you, but not me. I spend every waking moment trying to figure a way out of this place.

Mike: Well, I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Sheila: Whose side are you on?

Mike: Yours. Always. I pulled a lot of strings to come over here, to visit you. I thought a friendly face might help. Look. You know how I feel about you. On the outside, I can’t compete with the forresters, those handsome chiselled jaws. But in here? Yours truly, not so bad. I mean, look around. Suddenly, mike guthrie’s a real catch. There. There’s that smile.

Sheila: I appreciate it. I really appreciate you, mike.

Mike: I bet I know what else is bothering you. I know how much you love your son. I bet you’re missing finn something fierce.

Sheila: You have no idea. But not to worry. I have a plan to see my son again very soon.

Carter: So basically, bill wants another shot to convince katie to take him back. You know, bill being himself, the man never gives up.

Brooke: Even though he probably should.

Carter: If that’s your way of asking me if I think if katie is totally over him.

Brooke: Well, I see the way katie looks at you, and it’s obvious your relationship is… progressing. I mean, bill must see that too.

Carter: Of course he does. That’s why he invited her over to the house. That’s why she’s there now. This is how it’s gonna go. Bill’s gonna remind her of their relationship, all the good things. You know, their marriage. And then he’s gonna go into the family they created with will, and then, he is going to apologize. He is gonna say sorry for hurting her over and over again. And then, he’ll promise never to do it again. And don’t get me started on all the jewelry.

Brooke: The jewelry.

Carter: I’m sorry, I’m saying more than I should.

Brooke: No, you don’t have to apologize to me. I know you care about katie.

[ Brooke giggling ]

Carter: Confession?

Brooke: [ Whispering ] Yes!

Carter: Earlier today, katie and I basically said “I love you” to each other.

[ Brooke gasping ]

Brooke: What? Really?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Oh, my god, I’m so happy for you two. I’m so happy.

Carter: Thank you. Thank you. And that’s why I think I’m so worked up. I’m just– I’m not crazy about her being with bill right now. I don’t trust him.

Brooke: Yeah.

Carter: Especially when it comes to your sister.

Bill: I still don’t know how he pulled it off. What was he, like five or six? And he– and he tapes $5 bills all over the wall spelling out “happy birthday daddy?” Right– right there. Right on that wall. So, I would come down the stairs and see them first thing in the morning. You remember that?

Katie: I– of course I remember it. I was the one who gave him the money.

Bill: Of course you were.

Katie: But the idea was all his.

Bill: Well, he always knew how to get on his old man’s good side, didn’t he?

Katie: He always worshipped the ground you walked on. He still does.

Bill: You miss him as much as I do?

Katie: Every moment of every day.

Bill: I miss his mom, too.

Katie: Bill, I know what you’re doing and… I haven’t forgotten our family and the wonderful moments that we’ve shared.

Bill: I’m glad to hear that. And there are more good times to be had, and there are more memories to make. As a family. As a couple.

Katie: Bill, I can’T.

Bill: Because of carter? People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Carter: Katie’s her own woman. She’ll make the right decision for her life. For herself.

Brooke: Carter, you don’t have to like that bill’s trying to win katie back.

Carter: Let’s face it, brooke. We all know bill loves you.

Brooke: Bill is a part of my past. A past that I don’t plan on revisiting.

Carter: I get that. And I understand, but still, katie doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s second choice. She’s too special for that.

Bill: You and carter, it’s that serious?

Katie: We never expected it to go anywhere. You know, we’ve been colleagues for a long time. We just started spending time together and we realized that… we like spending time together. I admire him and I respect him.

Bill: Okay. I understand that he comes with a lot of baggage of his own.

Katie: If you’re talking about–

Bill: I’m talking about, well, to put it mildly, that whole mess with quinn. A lot of people got hurt, katie.

Katie: Yeah. And nobody knows that more than carter, and he regrets that it went as far as it did.

Bill: Well, I have plenty of regrets of my own. Most importantly, not cherishing what you and I had when we had it. Losing your faith and your trust. Now, if carter can learn from his mistakes, can’t I do the same? Can you give me that much?

Katie: Of course. Yes, of course. I– I’m not angry. I– I’m not resentful. I am not trying to hold you to a higher standard. I care about you, bill. I always will.

Bill: But you care about carter more? All right. Look, um, I’m gonna ask you a question. I want you to be straight with me. What exactly is going on between you and carter?

[ Katie scoffing ]

Mike: Why would you expect finn, the son you shot–

Sheila: Accidentally.

Mike: Why would you expect him to come and see you?

Sheila: Okay. Well, you already know about my heart attack.

Mike: Yeah. So?

Sheila: Well, I put in a request to be seen by my attending physician.

Mike: Your son.

Sheila: Precisely. Mike, look, finn could have let me die, but he didn’T. I think that speaks volumes, don’t you?

Mike: Well, obviously you’re hoping it does.

Sheila: I’m still his birth mother. I’m the one that gave him life. And somewhere, deep down, I just, I– I know he still loves me. He’s gonna forgive me. He’s gonna accept me and I can’t just sit back waiting for that to happen. I’ve got to make that happen.

Mike: Never ceases to amaze me. Your willingness to keep fighting. But come on, sheila. You gotta be realistic. The fbi nailed you. You confessed to murder one. Those are some big obstacles.

Sheila: Yeah. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. And make no mistake, mike, I have the will. No two bodies are the same.

Sheila: Mike. I don’t intend on spending the rest of my life in this hellhole.

Mike: Like I haven’t heard that before.

Sheila: You’re doubting me.

Mike: Oh, no. No. I learned a long time ago not to do that. But I’ll say it again. The situation is different. You confessed to killing two people.

Sheila: No. No, not two. Just one, okay? The other one was an accident. Besides, I won’t be doing this on my own. I’m gonna have help from the outside.

Mike: Who? Sheila, I don’t mean any offense, but you’re poison. Nobody’s gonna touch you. Look, it’s time to face facts. Sheila, you’re gonna be in this place a long, long time.

Guard: You got a visitor.

Sheila: I do?

Guard: You emailed him.

Mike: Seriously, sheila?

Sheila: He got my email. He’s coming. Okay.

Mike: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Who are you seeing? Damn it, sheila. Answer me!

Sheila: I’m ready.

Mike: Ready for what? Sheila, come on, talk to me. Sheila, wait. Sheila! I love you!

Katie: I don’t wanna talk about carter and me. I– I wanna talk about you and me.

Bill: Well, I always like the sound of that.

Katie: I appreciate you too, bill. I do. And not just because you’re will’s father, but because of everything we’ve shared and everything that we’ve meant to each other. I can see that you are the man that I always knew you were, that you’re at your best. You’re the man who put sheila carter away for good.

Sheila: What room is this?

Guard: All right. Here you go.

Sheila: Oh, god, that feels good.

Guard: Make yourself comfortable.

Sheila: Thanks. Thank you for coming. You won’t be disappointed, I promise you.

Steffy: Amelia has the kids. Oh, we could go back to bed. Pick up where we left off.

Finn: Mm… I would love that more than you know. But my mom’s coming over.

Steffy: Yeah. Unless I call and reschedule.

Steffy: It is tempting.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: But I have plans, too. I have some unfinished business with someone.

[ Alarm buzzing ]

Sheila: [ Sighs ] You’ve got to find a way out of here.

Bill: So, let me get this straight. The two of you, on your own, without consulting me, acquired a streaming channel that no one is watching.

Wyatt: Well, I mean, I wouldn’t say no one’s watch– that’s why we got it so cheap. Do you see? Liam?

Liam: Uh, right. Yeah. So– so we just figured instead of, you know, building a new one from the ground up, we would acquire and– and rebrand an existing channel devoted to all things fashion.

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, just change direction. Update it a little bit. You know, movies, new and old. Documentaries that feature some of the famous designers and– and models throughout the years.

Liam: Uh, and, you know, interviews with up-and-coming influencers. Live coverage of– of shows.

Wyatt: All the award shows. It’S…

Liam: You hate it.

Liam and wyatt: He hates it.

Liam: That’s it.

Wyatt: Yeah, we gotta go back.

Bill: No. I love it.

Wyatt: What?

Bill: And besides, you guys deserve a new toy. You held down the fort at spencer publications while I appeared to be awol with sheila.

Wyatt: [Laughs] Yeah.

Bill: I’m proud of you guys.

Liam: Thanks, dad.

Wyatt: Aw, look at this guy. We’re glad to have you back.

Liam: Personally and professionally.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Bill: Well, no one’s happier than I am. I lost precious time, those… disgusting months with sheila. And I want to get it back. Starting with the time I lost with my katie.

[ Katie moans sleepily ]

Carter: Morning, sunshine.

Katie: Morning. Are you watching me sleep?

Carter: Mm. What can I say? I love looking at you.

Katie: I like looking at you.

Liam: So, uh, katie, huh?

Wyatt: So, she’s back on your agenda?

Bill: Never left it. I just got sidetracked. But I’m back now. What?

Liam: No– nothing. No, it’s just, uh… I don’t think– we don’t want to be negative.

Wyatt: No. Never.

Liam: But–

Wyatt: No. Yeah, just, you– you have a history with, um–

Liam: With katie. And– and with brooke. And…

Wyatt: Yeah. You– you really– you really believe you have another shot with katie?

Bill: Absolutely.

Carter: [ Chuckles] Ah, waking up, you… sleeping beside me…

[ Katie chuckles ] I done something right.

Katie: Mm.

Carter: Starting my day gazing at such beauty.

Katie: [ Giggles ] Well, you make me feel beautiful. That’s not all you make me feel.

Finn: You’re going to see sheila?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Why?

Steffy: I have a few things I need to say to that murdering psycho. I just want to see her. I wanna see her behind bars. Finally caged like the animal she is.

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, O.C. Keller. Any chance that I can get back on the, uh– the prison computer system? You know, I sent an email earlier. I want to see if I got a response.

Guard: Can’T. Visitor scheduled.

Sheila: Who?

Guard: You just gotta wait and see. Still living with odors?

Finn: Look, I just– I don’t like the idea of you being alone in a room with sheila.

Steffy: It’s prison. There’ll be guards. You have nothing to worry about. Though I love that you do.

Finn: Just what– why don’t you let me come with you?

Steffy: I want you to have a nice time with your mom. I’ll be fine.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: ‘Kay. I love you. I’ll be fine.

Finn: I love you. All right.

Katie: [ Moans ] Why can’t we just stay like this? Just stay in bed all day long?

Carter: That would be awesome.

Kate: Mm.

Carter: But duty calls for me, and you have a date with bill. [ Chuckles ]

Katie: Oh, my god, it’s not a date. He just– he just wants to talk.

Carter: Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

Katie: Maybe we’ll just talk about will.

Carter: Mm. You know that’s not true.

Katie: I’m sorry if it bothers you.

Carter: It doesn’T. I just don’t trust bill.

Katie: Well, I have a question.

Carter: Shoot.

Katie: Why are we talking about bill?

Carter: Bill who?

Katie: Hmm.

[ Giggles ]

Bill: You guys want a water?

Liam: Ah, no, we’re good.

Wyatt: Thank you. You– you and katie ha– have been through a lot together and– and not all good. Well, that could be said of any couple, wyatt.

Wyatt: True.

Liam: Uh, well, you know, I– I’m not sure just any husband falls for the wife’S… sister.

Wyatt: Yeah, dad. I mean, katie hasn’t been the same ever since you were with brooke.

Bill: Yeah, I know. I know, wyatt. I broke katie’s trust. But I can win it back.

Liam: Oh, he sounds really sure about it.

Bill: All I need is time and access.

Wyatt: And I take it that katie hasn’t been giving you either?

Bill: Not yet. But that’ll change. Not overnight. But I will get another chance with katie, and I won’t blow it next time.

Liam: And what about carter?

Bill: He’ll move on.

Wyatt: Well–

Liam: Okay.

Wyatt: I– it’s hard to argue with you when you’re this determined. You know, I mean, you have been known to pull off the impossible–

Liam: Technically, he just did.

Wyatt: Mm.

Liam: Right? With, you know, securing a confession from sheila, sending her back to prison for life.

Guard: Prison secure.

[ Door buzzing ]

Man on radio: Jail 5 and 7,

roger.

[ Door buzzing ]

Steffy: Had to see you in your natural habitat. I gotta say.. suits you. (Music throughout)

Bill: First thing I’m gonna do when katie comes back to me is whisk her off to the stella maris. A month, maybe two. However long it takes for us to really rediscover each other.

Liam: Yeah, cool. That’s– yeah. That’s– yeah. I– I mean, uh, I don’t know. Katie might have some trouble getting away. It just depends on the timing, ’cause, like, as if– if, say, it conflicted with the hope for the future launch–

[Cross chatter]

Bill: All right, all right. Can you just slow your practicality roll and allow me to do my visualization.

Wyatt: You got a vision board for that?

[ Liam snorts with laughter ] Put it up in the–

Bill: Keep it up, clown.

Wyatt: ‘Kay.

Bill: Keep it up. But watch, the two of us on the stella maris, and either before or after, we’re gonna do some house hunting.

Wyatt: Wow. You– you are really planning ahead here.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. Maybe too far, too fast.

Bill: Oh, here it comes.

Liam: I don’t know. Listen–

Bill: Here it comes.

Liam: I’m just– you– I love you. I’m just saying– I’m just saying it’s possible that you’re underestimating katie’s connection with carter.

[ Katie sighs ]

Katie: Wow.

Carter: Mm-hmm. You can say that again.

Katie: Ha. Okay. Wow. Mm, I think I have it solved.

Carter: What solved?

Katie: The problem with world peace.

Carter: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Katie. No, no. No more war. No more traffic-induced road rage. Even congress might get along. All they have to do is wake up with carter.

Carter: Mm.

Sheila: Problem solved.

Carter: I aim to please.

Katie: Seriously, no one could be in a bad mood after what we just did now.

Carter: Mm. You have a point.

[ Both moaning ] What’s that look?

Katie: I’m gonna ask a, um, slightly inappropriate question.

> Carter: Mm.

Katie: It’s just that I’m curious. What was it like with quinn?

[ Katie laughs ]

Li: So good to see you.

Finn: [ Chuckles] It’s only been, what, two days?

Li: Too long.

Finn: Hmm.

Li: Is this a rare day off for you?

Finn: Uh, I pulled a late night shift.

Li: Oh. So, you and steffy will pass each other at the door.

Finn: Hmm. Well, if we’re lucky.

Li: I know it’s challenging. You have the kids, two demanding careers. I assume that’s where steffy is right now, at forrester?

Finn: Actually, she’s at the prison. To see sheila.

Li: What? Why on the earth–

Finn: She wants to tell sheila how we really feel about her and the hell that she put us through. And not just steffy and me, mom. You, too.

Steffy: Surprised?

Sheila: So, why– why are you here, steffy? Are you here to berate me, humiliate me? Kick me while I’m down?

Steffy: Do I really have to choose?

Sheila: You could show just a little human compassion. You know, put yourself in my position, being set up by bill spencer. What if you found out finn never really loved you, that your whole life was just a scam?

Steffy: First of all, that would never happen. There’s no reason to scam me because I’m not a sociopathic killer. And second, hell will freeze over before I ever feel an ounce of sympathy for you. You’re getting everything you deserve. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Liam: Listen, regardless of how it turns out with katie, it’s really nice to have dad back.

Wyatt: Yeah. Vision boards and all.

[ Liam laughs ]

Bill: Thank you, guys. And– and look, I– I have nothing against carter. He’s fine. He’s a good guy. He’s not good enough for katie, and I told them both, I will fight for the woman I love. For my family. And I will win. Katie will come back to me.

Carter: No. No. No, thank you. No. Pillow talk with you about quinn is a lose-lose situation. I’m gonna pass on that question.

Katie: Oh, come on. Come on.

Carter: No.

Katie: I’m a modern woman. I can talk to you about anything. And I’m just– I’m curious. It just– it was so out of character for you. So, I’m asking because I really want to know the answer. I mean, what was it with quinn? Was it just sex?

[ Carter grumbles ]

Carter: Looking back, it was a bad time for the both of us. Quinn and eric, they were having issues, and my love life kept blowing up in my face. And… we felt very unseen. Except when we were together. Just ignited. And it was the guiltiest I’ve ever felt in my life. But to answer your question, there was a powerful attraction and it made for incredible sex. But in the end, that’s all it was, because she left. This. This, katie. This is real. We just made love. That’s so much better. In fact, it’s the best thing ever.

Katie: You’re right. It was love. And it is the best.

Finn: Sheila has messed with your life a lot longer than you and I even knew. And I know how we don’t talk about it anymore, but I imagine it’s still painful. Knowing that dad had an affair with her. That sheila gave birth to me.

Li: Honestly… I wish I never found out. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

Finn: Yeah, this whole sheila thing really tore our whole family apart.

Li: You’re right. My marriage didn’t survive sheila. But you did. Steffy did. I did. I won’t let my mind dwell on the past. The only thing that matters now is that you, steffy, and my precious grandchildren are finally safe from sheila carter.

Sheila: How can you be so cold? Heartless? You know, your husband, son, and I, we all share the same blood. Instead of you respecting that and encouraging a relationship between finn and his mother, hayes and his grandmother, no, you shut me out at every turn.

Steffy: And I always will. Count on that. Oh, sheila, sheila, sheila. You have no one to blame but yourself. Your crimes finally caught up with you and landed you in prison. And now you’ll stay here for the rest of your miserable life. And as far as my family is concerned… you don’t exist. Hayes will never know you.

Sheila: No, that’s not true, because… I’m his grandmother. Finn isn’t gonna let you.

Steffy: If you actually think that, you’re delusional.

Sheila: He’s my son. Finn may be mad, but deep down, he loves me. He could’ve let me die when I had the heart attack. But he didn’t, he saved my life. What more proof do you need?

Steffy: Fins saved you because that’s what he does. He’s a kind, loving man who tries to see the best in people. Even worthless people like you. But I’ll remind him of what a monster you are. And then I’m gonna wipe you from his mind. We will never think about you or talk about you again. My children, they are not gonna know your name. You will be completely erased. Guard?

Sheila: I am going to be back. I am not going to be locked up in this place forever.

Steffy: Guard?

Sheila: You haven’t seen the last of me, steffy.

[ Relaxing music ]

Ridge: My boys. Look at us, huh?

Taylor: Such handsome fellas.

Ridge: I know! And the forrester men back together, in this building!

[ All chuckling ]

Brooke: Oh, we are so excited to have you home, rj.

Rj: Good to be home, mom.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. I– I think you are– you are overjoyed right now.

Ridge: I am overjoyed!

Brooke: He’s beaming!

Ridge: And I’m beaming. Know why I’m beaming? Because I’m here with these– they were boys five minutes ago, now they’re men.

[ Rj laughs ] And the possibilities are endless.

Steffy: What are you asking, liam? Is there something more drawing hope to thomas?

Liam: That’s what I’m asking you. Do you think that?

Steffy: Like… what? The collection? Thomas coming up with these new designs?

Liam: No, not– not work.

Steffy: Okay, so… douglas? Their role as parents? Douglas is always gonna keep them connected. And you know that. The four of you have been navigating that for a while… okay, so if it’s not work or parenting, why do you think hope and thomas wanna spend all this time together?

[ Liam sighs ]

Liam: Listen, douglas is always gonna tie hope and thomas together. That’s not– I’ve made peace with that.

Steffy: But you’re worried about something else now?

Liam: That’s what I’m asking. Should I be?

Steffy: And I already told you no!

Liam: I know, I know, but the– ugh. It’s just the feeling. The feeling is not going away. I mean, I– look, I admit it. I thought that thomas was gonna be out of the company, right? I thought that he was gonna be out of hope for the future, and turns out that’s not true, and I’m trying to make peace with that too, but I also don’t wanna come off as this overbearing, overprotective, controlling husband.

Steffy: Okay, nobody thinks that. You love hope, you’re worried about her. Her well-being matters to you. There is nothing wrong with that. But I honestly don’t think that you need to be concerned about thomas having feelings for your wife.

Hope: I think you might’ve gotten here just in time, thomas.

Thomas: Why’s that?

Hope: Oh, to rescue your half-brother.

Thomas: Oh, yeah?

Brooke: Yeah, ridge has been putting on the pressure for rj to work here.

Rj: Yeah, well, too bad for him I inherited all of his stubbornness, so…

Ridge: And what else did you get? You got my ambition and you got your mom’s ingenuity. So this is not about pressure. It’s a proud dad saying, “there’s a lot of potential here.”

What are folks 60 and older

up to these days?

Steffy: You’re worried about hope having feelings for thomas?

Liam: What? No! No. I don’t think so. No, it’s just– [ Sighs ] I mean, something– something keeps drawing hope back to thomas. I just don’t know what it is, that’s all.

Steffy: She always likes to see the best in everyone, so.

Liam: Well, yeah, but that’s the– like, I keep, you know, I keep thinking of all the horrible things he’s done to her, and yet he’s still in her life.

Steffy: Yeah, okay, you can’t ignore the fact that they work together, they share a child together, raising a child.

Liam: I promise you, I’m not ignoring anything. If anything, it’s the opposite. I’m on high alert all the time, and I hate it. It stresses me out.

Steffy: Do you need me to tell you that you’re crazy?

Liam: Yeah, probably.

Steffy: I can’t stop you from worrying, liam.

Liam: And I can’t– I know that I can’t ask you to– I’m– I’m not asking you to do anything creepy or weird, like spy on hope, okay? It’s not your problem.

Steffy: Right, ’cause… that would be weird.

Liam: I–

Steffy: And crazy.

Liam: I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just– I just don’t know– I wanna know–

[ Groans ] I wanna know what I’m dealing with, that’s all. That’s all. I wanna know what I’m dealing with, and… maybe… I’ve underestimated hope.

Steffy: Underestimated her how?

Liam: I don’t know. I mean, you know, I– I keep asking myself, like, “well, how could she put up with all these things that thomas has done, all the things he’s put her through?” But, like, she puts up with me. She puts up with how much I care about you. She puts up with our history. She puts up with our family. She puts up with all of that.

Steffy: Yeah, but hope and i are past that. There’s– we don’t have any issues–

Liam: That– that’s my point. That’s what I’m saying. I mean, maybe hope just really is that generous, and… I can’t see it because… I’m not.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Liam, I– I gotta get to work.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Steffy: But just know that… thomas is in a much better place, okay? My father has forgiven him, and thomas knows how lucky he is to have it, have this chance, and I promise you, he is not gonna sabotage it. Okay? It’ll be fine. Like I said, I promise, all right? All right, I gotta head out.

Liam: Okay.

Ridge: My father built this company for his kids, and now I wanna share it with you guys. Thomas, can you please just tell him how good it would be to have him on board?

Thomas: Well, honestly, I– I don’t know if he needs to come on board, or wants to. I mean, I’ve been seeing the stuff you’ve been doing recently. It’s– it’s innovative, and I’m impressed.

Rj: Thanks, man.

Ridge: How is that helping, thomas?

Taylor: You know what, why don’t you just be happy that rj’s home?

Ridge: I am–

Thomas: Okay, look, look. Hey. You’re a forrester, right? You’re rj, ridge jr. If you want a place here at the company, it’s yours. You have birthright here as much as I do.

Ridge: Well said. And very true.

Rj: Come on, dad. You don’t want all of your kids working here, do you?

Thomas: Hey. Just know you’re welcome.

Rj: I appreciate it.

Brooke: Okay. I can understand why your father wants you to work here. I would love to have you here as well. But, we, as your parents, we’re not gonna be pushy. We’re going to allow you to follow your own path.

Ridge: Yeah. What your mom said, absolutely. As long as your own path, maybe it leads you back here into this office, that’s all.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Oh, god.

Ridge: What? When you dare to transform your hair

Liam: Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry. Hi!

Wyatt: I was just texting you.

Liam: I know, yeah.

Wyatt: You totally missed the meeting, man.

Liam: Okay, I– it was–

[ Laughs ] Got here soon as I could. Just a last-minute thing, wasn’t– wasn’t something I planned.

Wyatt: Oh, unlike this meeting that’s been on the books for weeks now.

Liam: Are you okay? Did you handle it?

Wyatt: Yes, I’m fine.

Liam: All right.

Wyatt: And yes, that’s what I do. Probably better you weren’t here anyway. You’d screw things up. Clients like me better.

Liam: Oh my god, yeah, you’re not upset at all.

Wyatt: I will be if you think you’re gonna get a free lunch out of this.

Liam: I mean, I’m a little hungry–

Wyatt: Nope.

Liam: Why?

Wyatt: ‘Cause you gotta work a little bit for me to be able–

Liam: No. Just–

Wyatt: No. Expense account–

Liam: One–

Wyatt: No.

Liam: One appetizer.

Wyatt: I’m gonna tell dad.

Liam: I’ll eat my spring rolls, you can give me the whole play-by-play of how you, you know, closed the deal and saved the company and yadda-yadda-yadda.

Wyatt: You know what? I got a better idea.

Liam: What?

Wyatt: How about you tell me where the hell you were? Because I know you, and I know something’s eating at you. So why’d you bail on me?

Liam: I was with steffy.

Taylor: Okay, so, sorry to interrupt. This is– this is pretty wonderful, huh?

Ridge: Yeah.

Hope: It absolutely is, because I can’t believe that rj didn’t tell anyone that he was coming home.

Taylor: Okay, well, if your mom had known, she would’ve– she wouldn’t have been able to keep it to herself. She would’ve been too excited.

Hope: Yeah, it’s true.

Rj: Hey, thomas? I think we need to have a little talk.

Thomas: I think I know what this is about.

Rj: You up to your old tricks again, thomas?

Thomas: Yeah, look, um… I did some pretty terrible things. I hurt both of our families. But I’m not gonna do anything like that again.

Rj: So I’ve heard.

Thomas: Yeah, look, I– I was ostracized from the family, from the company and it hurt, really bad, but it caused me to turn inward, you know, look at myself and figure out my issues and I think I did, so I think I am a different person now.

Rj: Okay. I– I hope so.

Thomas: Hey, we all change, right? Even you.

Rj: Listen, I– I’ve been away for a while, thomas, doing my own thing, but that doesn’t mean I was kept out of the loop. I kept up with everything, okay? So, like, I just– like I told mom and dad, I just– I don’t wanna get involved in any family drama, okay?

Thomas: I don’t wanna start any.

Rj: I still have to put you on notice. I can’t let you mess around with my mom and dad again, or my big sister.

Thomas: Yeah. I respect that.

Rj: Okay.

Thomas: So, we’re good?

Rj: Yeah. Yeah, we’re– we’re good. I don’t know, I figure if our moms could get along, at least become friends, there’s no reason we can’t be.

[ Taylor and brooke chattering ]

[ Laughing & chatting ]

Thomas: Yeah. You know, I, uh… I never thought I would see that happening.

Rj: Yeah, it’s gonna take some getting used to. Now, I’m not gonna lie, it’s actually one of the reasons I came back. Mom and taylor have been rivals, I think, for my entire life?

[ Chuckles ] Like, I had to see it for myself.

Thomas: Yeah, I know. I know. Hey, look, um… we, uh, we haven’t exactly been that close recently, but you know you’re my half-brother and we can change that, right? We can spend more time together and I think we should. Well, hey, I mean, we have the same name, right? But you got stuck with our dad’s name too, and that– that kinda sucks.

Rj: [ Laughs ] Yeah. Yeah, it’s definitely– it’s hard to make a name for yourself when you share yours with someone as legendary as ridge forrester.

Thomas: Yeah, no kidding.

[ Both chuckling ]

Brooke: Wow! Lots of laughing coming from over here.

Ridge: Yeah, what are you guys talking about?

Rj: Oh, you know, just the trials and tribulations of being forrester men, saddled with the insurmountable legacy of our amazingly talented and well-respected father.

Thomas: Well put.

Rj: How will we ever measure up?

[ Laughs ]

Steffy: Dad, charlie’s going on about some huge surprise? What’s–

Rj: Surprise.

Steffy: Rj?

[ Rj laughs ] Oh, my god. Rj! What? Oh, my goodness!

[ Laughing ] Oh, my god. I don’t feel my age. Why should my skin?

Wyatt: You missed the meeting because you were with steffy?

Liam: Well, ye– and traffic was awful, by the way.

Wyatt: Dude, we have been working on this deal for weeks now. I cleared my whole afternoon.

Liam: Yeah, it’s not like I wanted to be late, man. I– I just, time got away from me, I’m sorry.

Wyatt: Time got away from you.

Liam: I texted you and I told you I was running late.

Wyatt: Oh, must’ve been some kind of emergency, then, with kelly? Better have been.

Liam: Kind of.

Wyatt: Hm.

Liam: Kind of a mini-emergency. She left her homework at steffy’s, and then– and then we started talking, and, uh, yeah. That’s all.

Wyatt: About?

Liam: What do you think? Thomas.

Wyatt: Great. Our favorite person.

Liam: Who’s– who’s our server today? Is it–

Wyatt: Mm-mm. Uh-uh. No foodsie ’til you explainsie–

Liam: Why?

Wyatt: What’s going on? I thought you and steffy already got into this?

Liam: We did. We have. We’ve– she– she’s still insisting that I have nothing to worry about.

Wyatt: Is there any reason why you should be?

Liam: I– I– I want to believe her. I do.

Wyatt: Okay. So then you’re gonna stop bugging her? You’re gonna stop flaking on meetings and everything? Is that it?

Liam: Oh, my god, wyatt. It’s this one time.

Wyatt: Yeah, but it’s just not like you! You’re mr. Reliable! Okay, if this is gonna throw you off your game here, then you need to find some way to get past it. We got quarterlies coming up.

Liam: Then we want the same thing because I do wanna find a way past it, and that’s why i was talking to steffy. I want– I want– I want… assurance.

Wyatt: And did you get it? Because I don’t wanna hear that you bailed on me for nothing.

Liam: Steffy says that she and thomas and the whole family are in a really good place right now, so…

Wyatt: Aw. Terrific.

Liam: Maybe that means thomas will keep his damn head on straight.

Wyatt: Fine. I forgive you.

Liam: Aw–

Wyatt: A little bit. A little bit. Because I know steffy and the family have been going through a lot lately, with the sheila thing and ridge going mia and thomas disappearing and reappearing like a magic act.

Liam: See? You get it. Forresters need all the good news they can get right now. And I need all the bruschetta I can eat right now. Please? Please? Please.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: Yes!

Steffy: I can’t believe you’re here. Where have you been hiding? Why didn’t anyone tell me that you were here?

Rj: Well, nobody knew.

Brooke: He just showed up.

Rj: Yeah, I wanted to surprise everybody.

Steffy: Well, you succeeded. Look at dad’s face.

Ridge: What about my face?

Steffy: Your face. [ Laughs ] No, it’s lit up. So is brooke’S.

Brooke: I know. We’re so happy.

Steffy: I can tell. Especially dad. You must be so happy to have your son back. No offense, thomas.

Thomas: No taken, stef.

Taylor: [ Chuckles ] And these two are actually getting along.

Steffy: Kinda like you and brooke.

Rj: Steffy, you’re still a rock star.

Steffy: Obviously. See, this is the kind of energy we need around here, okay?

Rj: Oh, no, please, don’t you also start. He’s– he’s enough to handle. You’re a whole lot tougher.

Thomas: She is pretty tough.

Steffy: Yeah.

Rj: Nothing can keep you down, steffy.

Steffy: I could say the same about you, mr. Adventure-seeker. What, you were, like, scaling mountains and jumping off of them? So, what are you doing now? What brings you back to L.A.?

Rj: Aw, you know, I’ve just got some opportunities, but i really wanna just stick around, spend some time with my family.

Steffy: I think that’s an excellent idea.

Brooke: I think it’s a great idea. Yeah.

Ridge: And you know what? We still haven’t figured out what he’s gonna do for a job while he’s here, but that can wait. We don’t have to do that right now, just because I have a request.

Rj: If he tells you to offer me a job, I already have one.

Ridge: Okay, “request” is not the right word. I– I have, um… I have an idea. And this is something that would mean a lot to me, and it’s actually the first time we can do it, because these two ladies finally get along, and I’m totally on board.

Taylor: Okay, what– what is it? What?

Ridge: Can we just all get together and have a picture of the two mothers and all the kids? Can we do that, please?

Brooke: Oh, a picture? Yeah. We should do that. Let’s do it. Okay, rj, come here!

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Hope: Here, I can take it.

Ridge: No! I– no, you’re gonna be in the picture.

Hope: Okay, so then are you gonna do it?

Ridge: Hang on. Yeah, you need to be in it because you’re not my daughter, but you’re part of my family, have been for a long time, so.

Hope: Okay. I love that.

Ridge: Okay. You. Eat your heart out. This is how you do selfies.

Rj: Oh, all right, dad.

Steffy: Gotta turn it the other way.

Rj: Come on, show me how it’s done.

Ridge: I got it! This, right?

Taylor: Well, you– yeah.

Steffy: Go like that.

Rj: There you go.

Ridge: Oh, yeah, yeah.

Steffy: Okay, your thumb’s–

Ridge: I can’t even believe–

[ All complaining ] Hey, shh, shh! Stop, stop, stop! Just take a moment, take this moment. Look at us. We got half-brothers and half-sisters and mothers and dads, and we’re all here, and… people always tell me I– I have two families, and I don’T. I have one. One beautiful, blended family, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

[ Mouthing ] Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Taylor: Very nice speech.

Ridge: All right, we’ll start from the beginning. Okay, what do I do?

Steffy: Hit the button.

Taylor: Make sure you get all of our heads.

Rj: There you go. Big circle.

Ridge: Yeah, yeah. I know!

Brooke: You got it.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: No, don’t go–

Taylor: Don’t go up.

Ridge: Okay, ready?

Brooke: Okay.

surprise, little brother. Although, look at you now, not so little anymore.

Ridge: If we’d known you were coming, we could’ve thrown you a party with big “ridge jr.” Banner.

Brooke: Oh-ho!

Rj: That– that would’ve been fun, but honestly I’m– I’m happy to spend some alone time with my parents and my sister, my favorite people on the planet, but seriously I– I really did miss you guys.

Brooke: We missed you, rj.

Ridge: Life is just not the same without you here.

Brooke: The baby of the family. Always knew you’d come back home.

Hope: Now, we just need to find a way to convince rj to stay forever.

Brooke: Yes!

Ridge: Oh, I know how to do that.

[ Brooke gasps ] One more group hug!

Brooke: Oh! Yes!

Ridge: Yeah, come on, check it out.

Hope: All right.

Ridge: See? That’s it, done.

[ All laugh ]

[ Brooke sighs ]

Taylor: Well, this is– this is big news, right? I mean, here at forrester and in the family?

Thomas: Yes, my half-brother is back in town.

Taylor: Yeah, I bet brooke is so excited.

Thomas: Yeah, dad too.

Taylor: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, I bet he’s really excited. I’m sure he’s feeling really proud right now, having all of his kids in one city. You, steffy and his only child with brooke. How do you feel about it, mom?

Finn: Wow, did I win the lottery or what?

[ Steffy laughing ] Every morning, I get to wake up and see your beautiful face. This incredible force of a woman just lying there, snoring her head off.

Steffy: Stop that! I do not snore!

Finn: When I first heard it, I thought it was the sea lions on the beach.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Or like a wild parrot.

Steffy: Stop. No, I don’T.

Finn: No, in fact it was my gorgeous wife just laying there, drooling just a little bit.

Steffy: Whatever, you know you love it.

Finn: I do. I love everything. I love everything about you.

Steffy: Don’t even.

[ Finn grunts ] Do not talk to me about snoring.

Finn: Oh, does the truth hurt?

Steffy: Yeah. You know, especially after a night of one of your overnight shifts and you come in like a 90 year old man, sounds like you have a chainsaw, just like cutting down trees–

Finn: Yeah, okay.

[ Steffy imitating a chainsaw ] Okay yeah that’s, um, that is accurate, that’s a good one. Okay, you got me there.

Steffy” well the truth hurts, so.

Finn: Does it? Come here.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Liam: Hey, steffy? Oh, sorry.

Steffy: No.

Finn: No, no worries liam, come on in.

Liam: I know I’m interrupting, I know that, I’m sorry.

Finn: No, no we were just, you’re not– we were just talking about steffy’s snoring.

Steffy: Don’t even think about weighing in.

Liam: I– don’t– dude, I plead the fifth.

Steffy: Smart man.

Finn: Yeah, very smart.

Steffy: Oh, I have kelly’s homework for you.

Liam: Ah, thank you, thank you, thank you. Um, do you have a second?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. What’s, uh, what’s goin’ on?

Thomas: You, uh, you haven’t given me an answer.

Taylor: Huh? Oh, what about rj being home? I mean, am I happy? Yeah, why?

Thomas: I mean, look he’s– I know that you– you like him, he’s a good kid. Got no issue with him.

Taylor: Of course not, honey. I mean, come on, he’s– he’s ridge’s son, he’s your brother.

Thomas: Half-brother.

Taylor: Whatever. He’s family.

Thomas: Right.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Dad and brooke created him together.

Taylor: You mean they–

Thomas: Oh my god.

Taylor: Is that how conception works?

Thomas: Haha, mom, I’m just saying that him being back, it could change all the dynamics.

Taylor: Maybe, I don’t know. How do you feel?

Rj: Hope, you’ve been seriously killing it. The line is so hot right now, not to mention all the philanthropy it’s generating.

Hope: Aw, thank you, rj. That’s so sweet and thank you for letting me run ideas by you.

Ridge: Ah-ha! So, you’ve been paying attention to the family business after all.

Hope: Oh, let me guess, your dad is already trying to recruit you to work here.

Brooke: His father would like nothing more.

Ridge: No, all I’m saying is that, you know, your sister and I, we run this joint, so we can probably find you a nice table next to donna and pam.

[ Rj chuckling ] Angel soft toilet paper is… strong… and soft!

Steffy: Liam, I understand you wanting reassurance about thomas and trust me, it wasn’t easy for me to forgive him too, I was upset.

Finn: I was hesitant. But, I saw how important it was to taylor and the family, so I sucked it up and I’m glad I did.

Steffy: Yeah, me too, and it’s nice having thomas back in our lives. Look, I wouldn’t have forgiven him if I didn’t truly believe he’d changed.

Liam: I know, I know, I know, I just– I wish it were that simple for me.

Steffy: I…

Finn: Okay, I know it’s more complicated for you, liam, but, uh, I gotta work.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah I gotta get to the office too so, uh.

Finn: Why don’t you, uh, call me about this later?

Steffy: Okay, I’ll call you. I love you.

Finn: All right. Have a good day.

Liam: I– I don’t want to put you on the spot, I swear. The problem is that I trust you. You’re telling me thomas is improving, he’s really working on himself, he’s making great strides, okay, cool. What’s the degree, though? Like, uh, like how much of a change are we talking about? Is this a radical change? Is this enough of a change that I don’t have to worry about him working with my wife all day and all night?

Taylor: I feel like I kinda asked you first, but okay, fine. How do I feel about rj being back? I’m happy, I am– I am– okay here, I am happy that brooke and ridge have their son back home.

Thomas: Are you though, really?

Taylor: Yes! Am I happy that they have their son back home? Of course, I am! I mean, I know what it was like, you know, when I was away from you, thousands of miles away. It’s A… it’s a terrible feeling, you know? And rj, rj left home when he was so young, you know. He was probably like, what, this big? And now, he’s probably, like, this big?

Thomas: Kinda like this big. He’s like– he’s big. He’s almost out of school!

Taylor: You know what, babies are always gonna be our babies and you’re gonna feel the same way about douglas when he gets older. I mean, I… I look at you and I cannot believe how old you are.

Thomas: Thanks.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Taylor: Come on, if you’re old, then I’m ancient. Come on, it’s gonna be nice to see your half-brother.

Thomas: Yeah, it is. It’ll be great and I’m– and I’m looking forward to catching up with him.

Taylor: Good, I mean, I think there’s going to be a lot to catch up on, I– I do. And hopefully you and steffy are going to be able to spend a lot of time with him, you know? It’s important. Um, don’t think I don’t notice you are still dodging the question.

Taylor: Yeah, I… I do seem nervous. I– I– I know that there are some factors at play here and you’re wondering how I feel about rj being back and if, um, if I think his presence is gonna get ridge and brooke back together and I would say… probably so.

Ridge: I’m only kidding! You wanna come work here, you get your own office and we’ll put “rj” or “ridge jr.” Or– or “mr. Forrester” on the door.

Brooke: Well, now that’s a pretty sweet deal, rj.

Ridge: It is and I’ll make it even sweeter. You know what? Own parking spot, next to mine.

Rj: You’re crackin’ me up.

Ridge: What?

Rj: You’ve– you’ve gone from offering me an internship to just, like, handing me the keys to the company.

Ridge: I’m not a good negotiator, everybody knows that.

Rj: No offence, dad, but come on, you know how I feel. This is a fashion house, forrester creations. It’s a company that granddad and grandma built from the ground up. One that mom helped innovate, one that you and steffy have been running like pros and that’s awesome and I’m proud of this place and everything you guys have accomplished but… I really wanna try to do my own thing, you know? Establish my own identity.

Ridge: By being an influencer?

Rj: Yeah, I’m– I’m building my brand. I’ve got a lot of followers. I’ve– mom, hope, can you please back me up on this?

Hope: He does have a ton of followers. He is doing quite well.

Brooke: Yes, he is. Gosh, so much pressure, right? Sorry, honey. Will you stop, please? Don’t drive our son away before he’s even spent one night here. – They get it.

Steffy: Here.

Liam: Thank you. Here’s the thing, you’re just– you’re the only person I know who is both close to thomas and at least capable of being objective about him.

Steffy: Liam, I wouldn’t lie to you. If I had any misgivings about thomas, if I doubted him, then I wouldn’t have accepted his apology. I wouldn’t have rehired him at forrester. Remember, we were not in a good place.

Liam: Oh, I do remember.

Steffy: I blame thomas for taking away my parents’ chance at a future together.

Liam: As you should have.

Steffy: And we hit a rough patch and I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to trust him again.

Liam: So, what– what now? Is it– is it just that you, like, feel it in your bones? I mean, you sure you’re not caving into pressure because it’s the sisterly thing to do?

Steffy: I truly believe thomas is a different person.

Liam: Really? Like, what– so, what made the difference for you?

Steffy: I know my brother. I know when he’s struggling and I can sense when there’s something to be concerned about. And right now, all I feel is… his calmness, his humility, his determination. Thomas is not hung up on hope anymore. He is focused on being a dedicated father and a designer and my father and my mother sees it too. I gotta tell you, it’s– it’s really a wonderful time for our family.

Thomas: Okay, so, you– you do think that rj being back in town could bring dad and brooke back together?

Taylor: There is no doubt in my mind.

Thomas: And you’re– you’re, what? You’re just cool with that?

Taylor: I am– I am– I am– I don’t know, I’m indifferent? I don’T… you know, they– they share a child together and…

Thomas: Yeah, dad shares multiple children with you.

Taylor: Oh– oh, yes and… this isn’t just about sharing a child, obviously. You know, there… brooke and ridge are gonna wanna spend time together with the family and– and, because that’s what families do and– and you and steffy are gonna be a part of that. And you know what? I’d even be able to have some big, crazy dinner with both families, which could be kinda fun.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: Come on. We can put the “fun” in dysfunctional.

Thomas: Mm.

Taylor: It’ll be really good to see rj.

Thomas: Okay, yeah, well as much fun as we could have, um, this could still cause you a lot of pain.

Taylor: I trust my friendship with brooke and all I care about is honesty and transparency from her when it comes to ridge because that’s what our pact is. Friends first.

Brooke: Ooh, I can’t believe you’re back, I just don’t wanna let you go.

Hope: Mom, I don’t think he can breathe.

Brooke: Oh, I’m not squeezing too tight, am I honey?

Rj: No, no, you’re fine, mom. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss your hugs.

Brooke: Oh, my sweet boy.

Ridge: Also, we have a gym here at forrester, I don’t know if you knew that.

Rj: Yes, I know we have a gym, dad.

Ridge: It’s open 24 hours. You could take pictures of yourself in the mirror, doing whatever you guys do.

Rj: That’s very funny, dad, but, you know, that’s not really my kinda thing. That’s a nice pose though.

Ridge: Thank you and we could work out, once a month or whatever, you know, you think is appropriate.

Hope: Okay, you know what? He only just got home and I don’t think we should be pushing so hard to get him to work here just yet. I don’t want him feeling cornered, so–

Rj: No, it’s okay, I don’t feel cornered. I know my dad’s just lookin’ out for me.

Ridge: I am looking out for him, that’s what I’m doing.

Hope: Okay.

Ridge: Also looking out for the company a little bit because I know how talented you are and you could help us.

Rj: Thank you, dad. That’s high praise coming from you, actually. I really appreciate it, but… I mean, I don’t know, I– I just, I really wanna try to do my own thing, you know?

Ridge: Well, I hope that doing your thing will bring you back to this office, working with me. Martial arts is my passion.

Taylor: I don’t wanna talk about me anymore, I wanna talk about you and how you feel about ridge jr. Being home.

Thomas: Okay, look, I don’t exactly know what you mean. Like, how do I feel about what?

Taylor: How do you– thomas. How do you feel about your half-brother being home?

Thomas: I don’t know. Good, I guess? Look, it’s– it’s not like we, uh, hang out all the time and like you adorably pointed out, um, I am much older than him, like really old apparently.

Taylor: Super old.

Thomas: But at least not ancient. Okay look, and especially after everything that’s gone down recently… I don’t know, look, I’m sure that we’ll get together and we will bury the hatchet.

Taylor: Hm, I think that’s a good idea and there is no time like the present. Come on, let’s go.

Thomas: Why do you have to be so pushy?

Taylor: Uh, have you met me? Come on, let’s go, age before beauty.

Thomas: Ancient before old.

Taylor: Oh, my god, you did not.

Thomas: Yup.

Taylor: Come, thomas, let’s go. Come on!

[ Thomas sighing ]

Steffy: Don’t feel bad for having reservations.

Liam: Huh, reservations. That’s– that’s, uh, diplomatic, especially when hope’s spending her entire work day with thomas, well into the night.

Steffy: Well they’re– they’re creating a line, that’s what designers do and there’s a lot of pressure to perform.

Liam: I know. You know what? You’re– I– I know that, you’re right. I’m proud of hope’s career, I want to be supportive, I want her to succeed. It’s– it’s just that when it comes to thomas specifically, she… I don’t wanna talk this to death and– and hope knows how I feel.

Steffy: Your opinion has changed?

Liam: I can’t really put my finger on it, I just… I started thinking maybe it’s not just thomas. Maybe there’s something… with hope that keeps bringing her back to him.

Ridge: Door is always open.

Brooke: I think he gets the picture, ridge.

Hoep: Yeah, loud and clear.

Ridge: What he doesn’t get is that he was given a talent. Same talent that your grandfather has and thomas, zende, sometimes me. It’s a gift, you can create things. But you have something else and that could make you the best out of all of us because you inherited your mom’s brain.

Hope: Okay, ridge is right there.

Ridge: Yeah.

Hope: You got the best of both worlds and while I don’t want to add to the arm-twisting by ridge sr. Over here, working here does have its perks.

Rj: Oh, no, there’s no doubt about that. The work you guys do here is amazing and it’s known worldwide, I mean… I’m not gonna lie too, it has opened some doors for me but… I just, I wanna try to pave my own way, whatever that is.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh, there he is.

Rj: Taylor, hey!

Taylor: Hey. Wow, look at you, it’s wonderful to see you!

Rj: It’s great to see you too. Thomas.

Thomas: Little brother. It’s good to see you. I missed you.

Rj: It’s good to see you too. I, uh, I was just sayin’ how I’ve been keeping up with hope for the future. Dude, incredible work, truly. You’ve– you’ve really developed into a world-class designer.

Thomas: Thanks, man. I appreciate that.

Rj: But, uh, I do believe your success is because you take after dad.

Thomas: Our weird, mischievous father.

Ridge: What– what is that? Where’s that comin’ from? There’s nothin’ weird about me. I created the two of you, right?

Thomas: That’s a good point, yeah sure.

Ridge: It’s not a question, it’s a great point!

Thomas: Sure, yeah.

Ridge: My two boys, all grown up. This is the kind of moment that a man, a father lives for, ’cause I helped raise both of you with these two amazing women. I love you guys. Glad you’re home.

[ Brooke laughs ]

Rj: Aw, nice. Look at us.

Brooke: Look at us. Rj, I– I still can’t believe you’re here.

Rj: The look on your face when you saw me… priceless.

Ridge: It was good.

Rj: Hey, don’t you laugh too hard. I got you too.

Ridge: You know what? Your surprise was so good, you almost didn’t make it in the building.

Rj: Almost. Keyword almost. All right? Ridge forrester jr. Always finds a way.

Ridge: Apparently, he does. Yes.

Brooke: Okay. You know what? You can play a trick like that on me anytime you want as long as it means you’re home, okay?

Thomas: Sorry, mom. Just… just one more second. When inspiration hits, you know?

Taylor: Oh, no, I do. I do know actually. You know, inspiration always used to hit your dad when we were just sitting down for dinner. So, I always… always kept extra napkins laying around so he could sketch on ’em.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah. No, I remember. Um, okay. Sorry. Uh, what’s up?

Taylor: Um, it’s kind of annoying. I stopped by to really just see how things are going with hope.

Thomas: With hope?

Taylor: Yeah.

Thomas: They’re great.

Taylor: Okay. So, I have to ask. No urges or desire?

Thomas: That’s a very weird conversation to have with my mother.

Taylor: That’s a very fair conversation considering everybody’s worried. So…

Thomas: Okay. Mom, I– I promise I’m not having any urges or desires. Okay.

[ Laughs ] I– I’m not gonna try and manipulate anyone or force you and dad together. I– I honestly, I just wanna be the best designer I possibly can and I wanna prove to everybody that they can trust me, especially you.

Taylor: Oh. You don’t need to prove anything to me. I– I’m not the one, you know. I wouldn’t have backed you if I didn’t trust you. You know that, right?

Thomas: Yeah. I– I appreciate that. Thank you. I’m great.

Taylor: I know you are. You’ve done a lot of work on yourself and it’s all paying off, and I’m very proud of you. So is your dad.

Thomas: Aw. Thanks, mom.

Taylor: Yeah.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Thomas: I get it. I get it. Look, I’ve made strides before forward and then I fall back and I appreciate you looking out for me.

Taylor: Yeah. Look, you’ve– you are working harder than you’ve ever worked before and it shows, you know. But doesn’t mean that it’s not challenging working with hope day in and day out ’cause you’ve loved her for a long time.

Thomas: It’s not challenging. Yes, I do love hope. I still do ’cause she’s my friend, right? We’re coworkers. Co-parents. She’s a great person, right? But– but I’m not pursuing her in any way. I– I– I don’t want to be with her. I– I know she doesn’t want to be with me–

Taylor: I know, I know.

Thomas: And she’s with liam. And I respect their relationship and I will never, ever do anything to break them apart.

Taylor: Okay. Okay. I’m sorry I asked. I get it. I love you. Have I told you how proud I am of you?

Thomas: You just did, but it’s okay. You can tell me again ’cause I really like hearing it.

Taylor: Oh, my god. I am so proud of you.

Thomas: Thank you so much.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Sorry to just bombard you with all the questions.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Hope: Hi. Hi, taylor. Hi. I was actually– I was just about to go over some designs with thomas.

Taylor: Oh.

Ridge: Are you ever not on that thing?

Brooke: Ridge!

Ridge: What?

Rj: Check it out.

Ridge: That’s us. You uploaded the picture of us.

Rj: Yep.

Ridge: That’s got 3,000 likes already.

Rj: Yep.

Ridge: And this… you get paid for this?

Rj: Yes.

Ridge: Wow. Well, enjoy it.

Rj: Mom, I almost forgot. I come bearing gifts.

Brooke: Oh, you got me something?

Rj: Oh, yeah.

Brooke: Oh, chocolates.

Rj: Not just any old chocolates. It’s chocolates from switzerland.

Brooke: Chocolates from switzerland? I can’t believe this. Thank you, sweetie. Wait. Wait. When were you in switzerland?

Ridge: Boy gets around.

Rj: You know, it’s great seeing you two so happy. I know you guys have been through a lot lately.

Ridge: It’s an understatement.

Brooke: Yeah. But things are better now.

Rj: Yeah. I’m happy to hear it. How are all my brothers and sisters doing?

Brooke: They’re great. Bridget is in new york working at the hospital and rick’s still at international.

Rj: I know. We linked up in paris.

Brooke: Yeah, that’s right. And hope, she’s doing fabulous with her family, liam and the kids. And oh my gosh, her line, hope for the future is going crazy. It’s so successful.

Rj: I’ve– I’ve been keeping up with the latest and its fire. I gotta admit.

Brooke: Yeah.

Rj: Dad, how’s steffy?

Ridge: Steffy’s good. I mean, you know her. Force of nature, she’s got kids and a husband, a house and she’s running this company with me. It’s all effortless with her.

Rj: Yeah. Well, I’m glad that her and finn can finally put the whole sheila nightmare behind them. We all finally can, which is good.

Brooke: Hm.

Ridge: Didn’t ask about thomas. Didn’t ask about your brother.

Rj: Yeah. How– how is my big brother?

Ridge: He’s good. He’s doing really well. Have you spoken to him?

Rj: Um, no. Not in a while.

Ridge: Huh. But would you say that things are okay between the two of you? I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Thomas: Okay. So this is what’s so amazing about lace, right? And– and keeping with the boho design. But you put it in there sort of as a base and then you can add something else on top of it like– like leather.

Hope: To give it a little edge.

Thomas: Exactly.

Hope: I like it. And we could also play with the colors and use the leather to create kind of a richer, darker tone, but then use the lace to soften it up.

Thomas: Like taking both worlds and bringing them together.

Taylor: You know what, kind of like the two of you. You know, I’ve– I’ve– I’ve never seen you guys so creatively in sync and it’s– it’s pretty cool. I’m– I’m sorry that liam is not okay with this, you know?

Hope: Oh, you know, hopefully, he gets used to it because we are co-workers.

Taylor: Yeah, of course. And god, he– he has no reason to be concerned anymore.

Thomas: Yeah. And that may be true, but he has every reason to be skeptical of me. I mean, I’ve– I’ve done some pretty horrible things in the past and hurt their relationship and I never want that to happen again. And I promise that I will, moving forward, you know, win him over. Are you okay?

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. It’s just everything is, I don’t know. We’re finally coming together with douglas, with hope for the future. And heck, I mean, even our moms are besties now.

Taylor: Yeah.

Thomas: I don’t– I didn’t see that coming.

Taylor: Yeah. Nope. Neither did I.

Thomas: I don’t think anyone could have.

Taylor: No. No. Look, brooke and I will always care about ridge. We really will. But you know, it’s– we have families with him, but it’s– it’s nice just to be done with all the drama.

Thomas: It is. You know, and dad, he wants the best for everyone honestly. I think that he really respects your friendship with brooke and I don’t know, he wants– he wants this family to be great. This– this very big, very weird and complicated family.

Rj: What’s my relationship like with my brother?

Ridge: Yeah. That’s the question.

Brooke: We understand if things are a bit complicated between you and thomas.

Rj: Complicated… it’s just what he did was messed up. Making that call to cps pretending to be mom. I’m not gonna lie, it hurt when you two got separated, but I can’t get caught up in all the family drama. I just can’T. I’ve watched my brothers and sisters go at it against each other just too many times. The whole forrester-logan rivalry, it isn’t fun, especially when you’re a forrester and a logan. And I’m proud to be both. I have great parents and amazing brothers and sisters. We’re all really, really blessed.

Ridge: Could have used your sound mind a few years ago.

Rj: Well, I think I needed to step away to develop it.

Brooke: You’ve really grown up, rj.

Ridge: We’re both proud of you.

Rj: Thank you, dad. I hope I’m not coming across like I don’t care. It’s just, I really don’t wanna get caught up in any of the family drama. It’s one of the reasons why I haven’t been back in so long.

Brooke: Of course. I mean, we understand. We don’t want you to have to feel like you need to pick a side.

Ridge: No, not at all. Family is supposed to help and inspire. It’s not something we should run from.

Rj: I’m not running, dad. I’m just trying to stay focused. You know, I think this whole latest encounter with sheila really proves that our family is much stronger unified than fighting against each other. Hell, if dad and bill can get along, there’s no reason our family can’t, right?

Ridge: Yeah, that’s a good point. Um, we’ve been doing pretty well.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Pretty well. It’s even better now though, right? Now that he’s back home? And I’m not gonna let you leave. I’m not. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Hope: This is the collection so far.

Thomas: I wanted vintage hope for the future to inspire the collection, not– not be a reboot, right?

Hope: No, but showing its growth and development.

Thomas: Yeah. As we all have grown and developed over the time since hope for the future was launched, right? Actually, this one was zende’S.

Taylor: I– I love it. I– I love everything. I really do. I’M… you guys are a– a good team. You– you really are. You collaborate very, very well. I– I bet the bond is strengthened even more from parenting douglas together.

[ Door opens ]

Charlie: Sorry for the intrusion, but you might wanna lap up this grand cru before I spill it. Some might call it news, others might call it gossip.

Hope: What is it?

Charlie: Well, here I am, hard at work when the front desk wakes me– walkies me and says that ridge forrester is trying to get in the building.

Thomas: That’s the news, charlie?

Taylor: What?

Charlie: Well, security said ridge forrester was at the entrance, but ridge forrester was in his office working.

Hope: So someone is pretending to be ridge and trying to break into forrester.

Charlie: Oh, the tale of two ridges is far more complex than that my friends.

Thomas.: Can you get to the point?

Charlie: Well, the ridge at the front entrance was a real ridge. The ridge in this office was a real ridge. What? Two ridges? Two ridge forresters? How can that be? Well, there was a big ridge and a little ridge. Well, not so little anymore, I guess you’d call–

Hope: Are you talking about rj? Like our rj?

Charlie: Bingo.

Thomas: Why didn’t you just say that in the first place?

Hope: Thomas, our baby brother is home.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, what do you think? You– you just gonna stay for a while or you– you just gonna stay until the next festival kicks off?

Rj: That’s a fair question. But no, I’m not just passing through. I’ve– I’ve– I’ve really missed you guys. I miss being home.

Brooke: Oh, honey. You don’t know how good it makes me feel to hear you say that.

Ridge: So maybe since you’re gonna stay for a while, you could be in the office.

Brooke: Uh, ridge…

Ridge: Yeah. He could work as– as an intern.

Rj: Dad?

Ridge: What?

Rj: What are you doing? You know how I feel about the fashion industry. I–

Ridge: I know, but it’s been a while and maybe now coming back, it– it would be different. You know, you could spend some time with me, with your granddad. We’d just be here and we’d, I don’t know, we’d love to have you.

Rj: I– I appreciate the offer, but I got my own thing going on.

Ridge: Yeah. The– the online stuff.

Rj: Yeah. I mean, that’s stuff, being an influencer, it allows me to travel the world. Collaborate with so many artists. And–

Ridge: I know because you are an artist. We– we– we are artists.

Brooke: Ridge, don’t pressure him. Okay? He’s just finding his–

Ridge: I’m– I’m not! I’m just talking about the sketches you used to make. And they were good. You remember? They were good.

Rj: Dad, thank you. I appreciate it. But come on, isn’t it already busy enough here between you and granddad and hope and steffy? And not to mention thomas and zende are killing it.

Ridge: Just because they’re designers it doesn’t mean that we don’t have room for you. What?

Rj: Dad, I’ve got my own followers. I’m– I’m building my brand. I’m making my own content and it’s–

Ridge: Okay. I know. I– I get that. I’m– I’m hip to all that. But here’s the thing. Wait. Hey, if you’re gonna create some stuff here, you design some stuff here, you could make your brand bigger. Get more followers. You know what I’m saying? Please.

Brooke: Yes, I know what you’re saying, but can you just stop for a second? He just got here.

Ridge: I know.

Brooke: Look, he’s– he’s here. I don’t wanna scare him away, ridge. Stop. I really missed you so much. I did. I missed you.

Rj: I missed you too. Martial arts is my passion.

Hope: Wait, so rj is here in los angeles?

Charlie: Not just in los angeles, but in the building, mon amie. In fact, he’s in the office de grand fromage with brooke as we speak.

Thomas: Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen rj.

Charlie: Well, he is not such a kid anymore. In fact, he turned out to be quite the handsome jack. Chip off the old block, if you ask me. You can tell tell ridge I said that, okay?

Thomas: Okay.

Charlie: Okay. Well, I will get outta your hair and charlie, will go back to what charlie does best and that is keeping forrester safe from neferocity.

Thomas: It’s not a word, charlie.

Charlie: Oh.

Taylor: This is exciting. Your little brother’s back.

Hope: I know. We– I was actually talking about rj with my mom this morning. I mean, she always misses him, but sometimes it just hits her really hard. So, I am sure that she is thrilled. So I am… I’m gonna go see our brother.

Thomas: Yeah, you go ahead. I’ll catch up.

Hope: Okay.

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Um, okay. Um… why didn’t go with hope to see your brother?

Thomas: ‘Cause I have stuff I have to do right now.

Taylor: Really? Have you talked to rj at all?

Thomas: No. Not in a while.

Taylor: No? Why?

Thomas: Because being at odds with his mom makes for some pretty awkward conversation.

Taylor: Okay. But you’re not at odds anymore, so.

Thomas: He doesn’t know that.

Taylor: Yeah, because you haven’t talked to him in a while. See? See how that works? Come on. It’d be good for you to reconnect with your brother.

Thomas: Do you have to do the psych thing all the time?

Taylor: Do you have to avoid the psych thing all the time? I wanna know how you feel about rj being back.

Thomas: You know, I could ask you the exact same question. How do you feel about the only child that dad and brooke ever had being back?

Rj: So we’re cool, dad?

Ridge: Yeah. I’m just happy you’re home.

Brooke: We both are. And don’t worry, there’s gonna be plenty of time to figure out what you wanna do while you’re back here in la.

Rj: Well, I mean, I know I wanna work on my online brand. But don’t worry, dad, I’m not gonna slack off.

Ridge: I’m not– why do you– no, I know. I’m– I’m not worried about you slacking off. I know how you get when you’re passionate about something. I just don’t want you to forget that you have designer blood running through your veins. That’s all.

Hope: Rj.

Rj: Oh, hey, hope.

Hope: Excuse me. Come here. Come here. Hi. Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe you.

Rj: What?

Hope: When we talked yesterday, you didn’t tell me you were coming home.

Rj: Well, I wanted to surprise you and all of them.

Brooke: And what a wonderful surprise it was.

Hope: Well, you look great.

Rj: Aw, thank you. So do you. Not to mention you have been killing it with hope for the future.

Hope: Ah, yeah. Well, thomas does deserve some of the credit, but what about you? I mean, I’ve been keeping up to date on all your exciting adventures.

Rj: Yeah. It– it’s been amazing, but I, you know, I was ready to come home. I missed everybody, especially you.

Hope: Does this mean you’re going to stay for more than a week?

Brooke: He better be.

Rj: Yes. I… like I was telling mom and dad, I’m gonna be hanging around for a while and my plans are open.

Ridge: That’s what we like to hear.

Hope: Well, you were certainly missed. Right, mom?

Brooke: Yes. So much.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Look at you. I mean, it feels just like yesterday that we were running around these halls and having dance parties in the showroom after everyone left for the day.

Rj: Yeah. Such are good times.

Hope: Yes, they were. And now we get to have some more. It’s good to have you home, rj.

Rj: It’s good to be home.

Hope: Oh, group hug.

Brooke: Let’s do a family hug.

Hope: Everyone get in here. I’m so happy.

[ Relaxing music ]

Charlie: Nothing. But nothing is better than seeing ridge forrester at his drafting table. It’s like seeing michelangelo in front of a blank sistine chapel ceiling. Like the great julia child–

Ridge: In her kitchen.

Charlie: Right?

Ridge: Yes. What’s up?

Charlie: Well, something sinister, I’m afraid. I had to come up here to get eyeballs on you to make sure that you are here and you are not out there.

Ridge: Out there where?

Charlie: Front entrance. Some whackazoid is pretending to be ridge forrester.

Ridge: Okay, well, there’s no reason to pretend anything like that ’cause I’m here, right?

Charlie: Right you are. You know, listen, I– I noticed that pammy and donna are not at the desk out there, so you know what? I am going to do you a solid and I’m going to plant my keester right there, so if this jokester tries anything funny, and I don’t mean amusing funny, I mean, you know, funny, I’ll– I’ll be there.

Ridge: Okay, that’s great. I appreciate it and I appreciate not being interrupted because I’m working.

Charlie: Oh, sure, well, come on. You’re the king. You’re the king and I will guard this place like buckingham palace.

Ridge: Great. What does that mean? No tourists? Is that what that means?

Charlie: Well, you’re the king. I’m nothing. King, nothing, king, nothing.

Ridge: Yes, charlie. I’m the king of nothing.

Charlie: Yeah. Yeah, well, listen, I– I– got your back and your front. I got– in fact– I’ll be right out there.

Ridge: Why am I paying this guy?

[ Hope sighing ]

Brooke: Oh, good honey, you’re home. I just wanted to run this down from the house. Douglas left his binder.

Hope: Oh. Well, like mother, like son.

Brooke: I’m glad you’re home, actually. I wanted to talk to you about something.

Hope: Ah. Is it about thomas?

Brooke: Uh, no, even though I can’t help but be concerned.

Hope: Well, you have nothing to be concerned about. There’s no need to worry. I already talked to dad about this today.

Brooke: He was here?

Hope: No. No, I went to go visit him at il giardino. You know, give him a long overdue thank you for helping to put sheila away for good.

Deacon: I have been dying to see you. Sheila, you gotta know how sorry I am. I know that this whole thing seems like a huge betrayal to you. Please, I’m begging you. Tell me you don’t hate me.

Bill: You’re hesitating. Now, maybe you don’t want to say it in front of carter, but the sooner he hears it, the better. You know how I feel and I think you feel it too. I’m right, aren’t I? You still love me, katie.

Katie: Bill, you’re really putting me on the spot here. Especially in front of carter.

Bill: You’re the one who insisted he stay.

Katie: Do I care about you? Do I want what’s best for you? Of course. You’re the father of my son.

Bill: That’s right, katie. We share a son, our family. A family I want back.

Sheila: You stabbed me in the back, deacon.

Deacon: I was cornered. Bill and ridge gave me a way out.

Sheila: And you took it.

Deacon: Mm-hm. Yeah.

Sheila: Do I hate you? After everything you did for me? I could never hate you.

[ Deacon sighing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Ridge: Yes?

Charlie: Hi, me again. Uh, remember that whole debacle about the ridge impersonator?

Ridge: The thing we talked about just a few minutes ago? Yeah, I remember that, charlie.

Charlie: Yeah, well we thought it was a mistake, you know, that there couldn’t possibly be a ridge forrester downstairs.

Ridge: It was a mistake. I’m right here.

Charlie: Right you are. Uh… there’s– there’s someone I think you should meet.

Ridge: Well, that someone’s gonna have to make an appointment. Charlie, I’m trying to explain this to you. I’m in the groove here. I’m trying to get something done. I’m feeling it. I don’t want to be interrupted.

Charlie: Well, I– I know, but th–

Ridge: Handle it, charlie! Please!

Charlie: Okay, yes sir. Um, you absolutely sure?

Ridge: Positive.

Charlie: Okay.

Ridge: Wow.

[ Knocking on door ] Charlie, you are killing me.

[ Ridge laughing ] Rj!

Rj: Hey, dad.

Ridge: Ridge jr. Now, I get it.

Rj: Yeah.

Ridge: Hi. Welcome home. Aw. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Carter: Look, bill. I get that you two have history, that you share a child and years of memories together, and yes, katie will always love you. I already know that. But it doesn’t have the same meaning for her that it does for you. You see, we’re together now, happily.

Katie: It’s true. We’ve been having a really good time together.

Bill: Time that would’ve never happened if I had been the husband you needed. I’ve got a lot of making up to do and I’d like the chance to do just that, starting tonight over dinner.

Deacon: You don’t hate me.

Sheila: I know how much you risked. All that time that we spent together… everything that you did for me. All those many and many moments that we shared. I’ll never forget it.

Deacon: And neither will I. Not again. There’s no way. It can’t be.

[ Deacon exhaling ]

Sheila: Mama’s back.

Deacon: Oh, sheila, every time I’m near you, my heart, it just goes pitter patter.

Sheila: Yeah. Such happy memories. And now, I’m stuck here.

Hope: Okay, so if you don’t want to talk about dad and you don’t want to talk about sheila and you certainly don’t want to talk about thomas, what did you want to talk about then?

Brooke: Oh, nothing. I mean… it just, sometimes it– it weights on me.

Hope: What?

Brooke: Look, don’t get me wrong. I mean, I’m happy that he’s living the life that he wants to, that he’s travelling the world and doing exciting things. It’s just… I miss him.

Hope: Oh, this conversation again. You want to talk about rj.

[ Ridge laughing ]

Ridge: Another ridge forrester trying to get in the building. Now, I got it.

Rj: Yeah. Just the younger, more handsome version.

Ridge: Really? Can’t argue with you. You’re right.

Rj: You know, it took some serious convincing to get in here. Has it really been that long?

Ridge: It’s been too long. What have you been doing? Hitting the gym? Is that it?

Rj: When I can.

Ridge: When you can. When you’re not influencing people on the world wide web. You look good.

Rj: Thank you, dad. Speaking of, have you seen my latest posts?

Ridge: Oh, the one where you’re bungee jumping off a building or whatever? No, I haven’t seen it, and your mom hasn’t seen it because we don’t wanna see you in those kind of situations. You get that. Can’t believe your mom didn’t tell me you were coming.

Rj: Oh, mom doesn’t know. Nobody knows.

Ridge: You didn’t give anyone a heads up?

Rj: And spoil the surprise?

Ridge: It is so good to see you. Come here.

Rj: It’s good to see you too, dad.

Ridge: I missed you. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Bill: Come on, katie. One dinner with me. What do you say?

Katie: I’m just afraid that it will give you false hope and I–

Bill: And you’re afraid to face the truth. You know we belong together.

Katie: No, it’s not that. Carter and I have a really good thing going on here and I am not going to disrespect that or him.

Bill: Oh, come on, now. Carter’s not afraid of a little friendly competition from little old me. Right, carter?

Sheila: So, what’s next for the incredibly, incredibly sexy mr. Sharpe?

Deacon: All good things, I hope, now that I’ve been granted my clemency.

Sheila: Well… so, you get to roam your life free while I’m in here. I’m happy for you, deacon.

Brooke: So, when is the last time you talked to your brother?

Hope: I talked to him the other day. I mean, we text each other all the time. We video chat and mom, I know you talk to him too. I mean, you see his posts, you know he’s doing fine.

Brooke: Yes, okay, but why can’t he do fine right here in los angeles?

Hope: He’s young. He’s figuring things out. He’s spreading his wings, but at least you know he’s living his best life.

Brooke: Yes, and whatever he chooses to do, I will support him, even if it’s taking videos and pictures from the south pole or making those crazy cartoons.

Hope: Mom, you know he prefers the term “animation.”

Brooke: Okay. He is very talented, but why doesn’t he bring that talent home? I want to thank you for being the one child who stayed.

Hope: Does that make me the favorite?

[ Hope laughing ]

Ridge: Look at you. Are you all right? You good? You happy?

Rj: Yeah, very.

Ridge: Yeah? Running around all over the world, that doesn’t get old ever?

Rj: I don’t know. How could it? It’s awesome, dad.

Ridge: It is awesome. What a stupid thing to say. Of course, it’s awesome. You’re only young once. You should do that. Do your thing.

Rj: Especially, if it means… I bring back gifts. Your favorite licorice.

[ Ridge gasping ] Oh, yeah.

Ridge: When did you do this? When did you go to denmark?

Rj: Well, if you watched the bungee video, you would be able to answer that question.

Ridge: I told you about that. This is so good. Thank you.

Rj: I got something for mom too. I can’t wait to see her. Is she here?

Ridge: She’s not here right now, but she’s coming later. She’s gonna be so excited to see her little boy. Little boy, to see you. She’s gonna be so happy that you’re back. Up at 2:00am again?

Carter: You said over dinner? Nah, man. Katie can spend time and have meals with anyone she wants. She knows how much I care about her and I know how much she cares about me, and I want to continue having her in my life.

Bill: Now, you can want that, but just know, carter, katie and I share a son and I want my family back. I want my katie, and I think you’ll come back after I prove you are the only woman in the world for me.

Deacon: You’re happy for me?

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: My god, sheila, I helped put you in here.

Sheila: That’s the smartest thing you’ve probably ever done in your life. I mean it. You’ve– you’ve got the restaurant, you’ve got hope, you’ve got your whole future ahead of you. I… I may end up spending the rest of my life here. So, you go. You go and you live your life. Don’t wait for me, daddy.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Rj: So, the whack job, sheila, is finally behind bars, huh? You know, if the whole fashion gig doesn’t work out, you can totally get a job as an undercover cop, mr. 21 jump street.

Ridge: No, no, no, I know. I thought about it. I think it’s time to hang up the shield, eh. Miss my family too much, especially your mom.

Rj: Yeah. How is mom doing?

Ridge: She’s great. You know her, always doing something. She’s this– this beacon of light for everybody. But there’s, um… how do I say this? There’s a sadness right below the surface. She misses you.

Rj: What? Are you trying to guilt trip me?

Ridge: Yeah.

Rj: Really? I video chat both of you, a lot.

Ridge: Once– once a month or twice a month is not a lot. It’s the opposite of a lot. I’m not giving you– no, I’m not giving you a hard time. I’m glad you’re doing what you’re doing, but your mom misses you. It’s a real thing. She’s gonna be so happy to see you in the flesh.

Brooke: A surprise?

Charlie: Oh, yeah. And i think you’re gonna like it.

Ridge: Oh, hey.

Brooke: Hey.

Ridge: Looking for something? What’s going on?

Brooke: Well, charlie mentioned a surprise.

Ridge: He did? Hm? I don’t know. Oh. Maybe it’s that thing, um, I was gonna show you back there.

Brooke: Oh. One of your creations.

Ridge: Well, it’s really something that we created together.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Together? What have we created lately together?

[ Brooke gasping ]

Rj: Hi, mom.

Brooke: Ah! What? Rj?

[ Brooke laughing ] I can’t believe this. What? You’re– you’re really here.

Rj: In the flesh, here.

Brooke: My god. This is just so– so bizarre. I was just talking to hope about you, saying how much I missed you. Wait, did you know about this?

Ridge: Oh, he didn’t tell anybody he was coming. He’s full of surprises.

Brooke: Oh, you are. Okay, so does this mean you’re gonna stay awhile?

Rj: Well, I… do have a channel that’s blowing up.

Brooke: I know. We follow you.

Rj: I’ve got some offers to go to some pretty cool places too. Costa rica’s on the table, thailand.

Ridge: Offers? What do you mean offers? You get paid for that?

Rj: Yeah, dad. Come on. You know the drill. I’m an influencer now. I haven’t hit you up for money in ages.

Ridge: That is true.

Brooke: From your posts, we’ve seen that you’re here, there and everywhere.

Rj: Yes, yeah, and I’ve been a real rolling stone as of lately too. You know, just go, go, go and… anyways, what I really– what I really want is to spend some time with you guys.

Brooke: Really?

Rj: Yeah. I figured I’d stick around and post some L.A. Content for a while, if that’s okay.

Brooke: Oh, my god! Is that okay? Of course, that’s okay.

Ridge: It’s all we ever wanted. It’s great.

Brooke: Oh, my god. We just miss you. Miss you so much. I’m just so glad that you’re home, honey.

Ridge: May I?

Brooke: Of course.

[ Dramatic music ]

Sheila: Are you finished? Is there– is there anything else that you’d like to blame me for?

Taylor: No, you’re the one that’s finished. In every sense of the word. You’re locked up here, cut off from anyone you ever claimed to care about. Forever.

Sheila: Because of you. Because of what you did, bill. Using me. Oh, the way that you did. I never should’ve trusted you.

Bill: But you did. You did. Which, in some ways, still amazes me. You brought me into your dark, toxic world. God, I sacrificed so much and I would’ve sacrificed even more for the sake of my family, my loved ones, the next generation so you wouldn’t be a threat to them and now you’re not. You will die in prison alone and unloved, the two things you fear most. They are your fate now. Your inescapable fate.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: I’m not quite sure how to answer that question.

Carter: It’s complicated. I know. We thought bill lost his mind, was in love with sheila, when really he was doing this big heroic thing, protecting all of us from her. It’s why I gotta ask, given what bill did, has that changed the way you look at your ex-husband?

Deacon: Honey, come on, you’ve gotta let me fix you something. Hey, my linguine with clam sauce? Unbelievable. Secret recipe.

Hope: All right, that does sound delicious, but I– I do have to get back to work soon.

Deacon: All right, I get it. Never stops, does it?

Hope: No, it does not.

[ Deacon chuckling ] But, you know what else doesn’t?

Deacon: Hm?

Hope: My love for you. How proud I am of you. I mean, the success here at il giardino, you helping to keep us all safe from sheila carter. I mean, dad, I know.

[ Hope sighing ] I know you don’t like to think of yourself as a hero, but you are. Especially to me.

Deacon: Come here.

[ Hope laughing ] Come here.

Hope: You did good.

Deacon: Honey, just so you know, I’m not responsible for bringing sheila down. That was all bill and ridge.

Hope: Okay, dad, I think you’re being way too modest. If it weren’t for you, then–

Deacon: I am– I am so happy that you think I did something heroic, but– but I didn’T. I didn’t orchestrate the sting. I mean, I just kinda got pulled into it.

Hope: Yeah, well, guess what? Now sheila’s in prison, and she can’t threaten or terrorize anyone anymore. And as much as you might wanna downplay it, I think that you have a lot to be proud of.

Hope: Dad, you– you are proud of yourself, right?

[ Deacon sighing ]

Carter: I completely understand why everyone’s in awe of what bill did. Ridge too and I know that you’ll always care for him. He’s will’s father. You two share a lot of history.

Katie: Yeah. Good and bad. And bill is infuriating and exasperating and controlling, but family has always come first for him, which is why it was so confusing, this whole thing with sheila. Ultimately, he was looking out for his family, and not just his own. What bill did was huge.

Carter: And?

Katie: And I’ve always known that there is goodness inside of bill. And now he’s proved it. And I’m glad that everyone can see the goodness inside of him. What I could see so many years ago.

Sheila: My inescapable fate?

Bill: Locked in a cell. Weeks passing into months, months into years, and years into, well, dead. No visitors. No family. No one. That is the fate you’ve brought upon yourself.

Sheila: No, that is the fate that you forced on me.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Sheila, just accept responsibility.

Sheila: Oh, like you have, taylor? I know what you did. You shot bill. You should be in the prison cell right next to mine. Time for downy mcbride to go to work. I recognize that look. That’s the look of a person that needs a slice of tiramisu. I know you said no on the linguine with clams, but I can’t let you leave empty-handed.

Hope: Huh. Now look who’s tryin’ to get rid of me.

Deacon: I’m not. I love when you come see me. I just know that you’re busy with hope for the future, which I’m curious how it’s going.

Hope: Oh. Because thomas is designing for me again?

Deacon: Well, you know, I’m just imagining the two of you back at it, working hard together.

Hope: Hm.

Deacon: Hm.

Hope: Well, it’s not just us. There’s also zende, who is a very important part of our team.

Deacon: Right, right, but of course, zende wasn’t obsessed with you.

Hope: Okay, you know what, dad, it’s going– it’s fine. It’s okay. Everything’s okay.

Deacon: So, you’re telling me that tommy boy is minding his ps and qs?

Hope: Yes.

Deacon: Because if he steps one toe over the line, I swear–

Hope: He hasn’t and he won’T.

Deacon: Okay, all right, okay. You’re sure about that?

Hope: Yeah.

Deacon: Hm.

Hope: It’s going to be fine.

Deacon: And how’s liam feel about that?

Hope: Uh, h– he’ll– he’ll come around.

Deacon: Which means he’s not real thrilled.

Hope: Okay, you know– know what, dad? Uh, how about I just focus on all that stuff, and you just focus on this beautiful restaurant here, and just know how very proud I am of you for helping to get rid of sheila from our lives once and for all, okay?

Deacon: Okay.

Carter: So, bill’s bravery and heroism reminds you of–

Katie: Reminds me that he can be both maddening and marvelous at the same time, but that does not mean–

Carter: Katie, look. Your feelings are your feelings. You don’t have to explain or justify them, least of all to me. Bill did a very heroic thing and he’s riding that wave right now, and I’m not dissing the man or taking away from anything he’s done, but the bill before this went down was a very different man.

Katie: I haven’t forgotten.

Carter: Good. Because what he’s done in the past, the way he treated you, the pain he caused you. I’m not saying this to upset you. I just don’t wanna see him hurt you again. That’s the very last thing I want.

Bill: Enough, sheila.

Sheila: It’s the truth. I know all about your dirty little secret, taylor. If I’ve gotta pay for my crimes, why doesn’t she?

Taylor: Oh no, bill. She’s threatening me.

Sheila: Oh, my– I may be locked up, but I can still cause a lot of trouble.

Bill: You can’t cause squat. I cut a deal with the feds. Taylor is fully exonerated. She never has to worry about that night ever again.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: Isn’t that amazing? Isn’t that the best news? Thank you. You see, the forresters, the logans and the spencers will never have to worry about being targeted by you ever again. Your days of terrorizing us are over.

Bill: Guard!

[ Door buzzing ]

Bill: You’ll die in here, sheila. And no one, absolutely no one, is going to care. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Waitress: Hi, what can I get you?

Sheila: I was thinking

of you. How wonderful you

have been and the risk that

you’ve taken allowing me

to stay here. I wanted to take

a risk for you.

Ridge: Nice work, deacon.

You bought us

just enough time.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Sheila: Was– was any of

this even real?

Katie: I realize that everything you’re saying to me is out of concern for me.

Carter: Good. Because I hate the way bill took you for granted. The way he mistreated you. Returning to brooke saying she’s the greatest love of his life? Katie, he has disrespected you over and over and you are better than that. You deserve better. Even if it’s not me–

Katie: What makes you think it’s not you? I love the way you care for me. I love what we have become to each other. I have always admired you for any number of reasons, but now… I know you. And I can see and I trust that you see me, and you hear me, and that means so much. And I will not take that for granted.

Carter: Look, I’m deeply grateful that you trust me enough to share so much of yourself with me. And I realize your feelings for bill are complicated, just don’t forget you left him for a reason.

Bill: Sorry to interrupt.

Katie: Um, how did things go with sheila?

Bill: Good. She’s totally isolated. And she will stay that way until she takes her last breath. There is no soul left on the planet who has one ounce of sympathy for sheila carter.

[ Sheila grunting loudly ]

Sheila: Why am I still here? Why haven’t you taken my back to my luxury accommodations?

Guard: You got another visitor.

Sheila: Oh, no. No, uh, I’ve had enough of visitors for today, so just send ’em– just send whoever it is away.

Guard: What? Do I look like your secretary? You don’t get to bark orders at me.

Sheila: That’s not what I…

[ Door buzzing ]

Deacon: I’m sorry. I… I’m so sorry. Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Deacon: I was worried about you. After your heart attack. How’re you doing?

Sheila: Well, physically, better, obviously. They never would’ve released me just to stuff me back into a prison cell.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Deacon: Ridge and bill came to me. They didn’t give me a choice. I would’ve gone back to prison. I was always afraid something like this was gonna happen, you know? That you were gonna wind up behind bars. Your past was gonna catch up with you, but you gotta know, I didn’t want this. You know, I didn’t– just think about this crazy journey that we’ve been on together. That– that crazy redhead who showed up at my place. Sexy nine-toed beauty. I knew from the get go it was nuts to get involved with you, and I just– I couldn’t stop myself. Couldn’t help myself. And believe me, I tried. Every time I tried to get away, something just drew me back in.

Sheila: Do you know what that was?

Deacon: Yes. And so do you. You’ve always known how I felt about you. That hasn’t changed. Please tell me you don’t hate me.

Bill: I think it was really cathartic for taylor to express herself to sheila. Telling her that she will do everything in her power to wipe out any trace of that vile woman, as though she never existed.

Katie: Good. I’m happy she got to do that.

Carter: Me too.

Bill: Enough of that. I didn’t come back here to talk about sheila. I’m here to speak to katie. Alone. If that’s all right with you.

Katie: Anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of carter.

Bill: As you wish. You are so important to me, katie. I miss you. I miss what we once meant to each other. And my life, uh… my life isn’t a life without you in it. I need you now more than ever. All that time I spent, uh, trying to bust sheila, doing whatever I had to do to protect you. To protect everyone. It only reinforced how much I love you and how it would… kill me to lose you. But I know that you and carter, uh, have been spending time together. I– I respect that. Uh, I respect carter. He’s a good and decent man. That doesn’t mean I’m going to give up. We share a son. A family. And we can have that again if you just give me one more chance. I think I have proven to everyone with this sheila situation that I will go to any lengths necessary to get what I want. I love you, katie. And I believe that deep down in your soul, you still love me too. Tell me I’m not wrong. Tell me that you’re still my katie.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: But there’s

no one like you.

The extraordinary lengths

you go to.

This one was really crazy.

This is why I left you, bill.

But it’s also why I love you.

Bill: How do you do it? How do you get more beautiful by the day?

Carter: The only logan

I have my eye on

is the one I’m staring at.

You’re amazing, katie.

And beautiful.

Very beautiful.

Taylor: Carter.

Carter: Taylor.

Taylor: Hi.

Carter: Hi. Hey. Who you lookin’ for? Steffy or thomas?

Taylor: Neither one. Bill wanted to talk to me.

Carter: Spencer? Here?

Deacon: Okay, victoria, don’t forget to let me know when the bread guy arrives, all right?

Victoria: Will do.

Deacon: Okay. Ugh, I hate doin’ this. Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Deacon: What a beautiful surprise.

Hope: Uh, you got a minute?

Deacon: Yeah, I got all the time in the world for you. Yeah.

Hope: Oh.

Deacon: What’s up?

Hope: Oh, I just think we need to have a long, overdue conversation about sheila carter.

Deacon: Of all the things we could talk about, you wanna talk about sheila carter?

Hope: Well, not particularly, but I know what you did with her.

Deacon: You do?

Hope: Yes, dad. I do. *

Deacon: Just, please,

turn yourself in.

Sheila: No. Never. I am–

I am never

going back to prison.

Bill: Oh, I think you are.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Taylor: Yeah, bill said he was coming to forrester and he wanted to talk to me.

Carter: Didn’t say why?

Taylor: No. But I’m assuming it has to do with this whole sheila sting.

Carter: Probably right.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I am– I am still blown away. You know, bill and ridge teaming up together to take sheila down. What a couple of heroes.

Carter: Yeah, we’re grateful for the end result.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, obviously bill isn’t here, so I’m gonna go check the design office–

Carter: Well, katie’s working in there. You know, I can walk over with you.

Taylor: It’s right over there. I– I got it.

Bill: You’re getting my calls and my texts. I wanna see you, katie. And I’ve made it easy. I’ve already arranged dinner. I’ve had the house fumigated, I even had an exorcism performed now that vampire is gone.

[ Katie sighing ] So, what do you say? Join me? Give me one more chance.

[ Knocking on door ]

Taylor: Hey. Hi.

Katie: Hi.

Taylor: There you are. Hi, katie.

Katie: Hey.

Taylor: I got your message. Said you wanted to talk. What’s up?

Bill: Well, I thought that you and I should take a little trip.

Taylor: Intriguing. Where– where to?

Bill: Prison. To see sheila. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Deacon: Hope, I don’t know what you think you heard, but I–

Hope: Dad. Like I said, I know what you did.

Deacon: With sheila?

Hope: To her. And helping bill and ridge send sheila back to prison.

Deacon: Right, that.

Hope: Come on, dad. Don’t be so modest. It is a big deal. I mean, what the three of you did. I mean, we never have to worry about sheila carter ever again. That nine-toed freak is finally behind bars, where she should’ve been to begin with. I mean, we don’t ever have to worry about her making parole or escaping.

Deacon: I did it for our family. You know I did.

Emilio: Hey, boss, what can I get you this morning? The tiramisu is to die for.

Deacon: Uh, I think I’m just gonna do a cappuccino. And, uh, emilio, do me a favor, don’t go bonkers with the whipped cream, okay?

Hope: Actually, that sounds really good. I’d love one of those too.

Emilio: Gotcha.

Hope: Thanks.

[ Bread stick crunching ] Look, dad, all I’m saying is that I know that couldn’t have been easy for you, pretending to be friends with sheila when you know all of the horrible things that she’s done to people we love and care about. She finally got what she deserved, and I just wish I could’ve been there when her face cracked when she finally realized that nobody was on her side.

Deacon: You know, it was actually kind of sad.

Hope: I’m sorry, wait– oh, are you serious?

Emilio: Two cappuccinos.

Busboy: Delicious.

Deacon: Yeah, you know, I mean, just human to human. I mean, I could see that this– this woman’s whole life was shattering right in front of her.

Hope: Look at you, you big softie.

Deacon: Get out of here.

Hope: No wonder sheila felt like she could trust you.

[ Prison buzzer buzzing ]

[ Keys jingling ]

Guard: You know the drill.

Sheila: What’s happening?

Guard: Someone wants to see you.

Katie: Why do you wanna go see sheila?

Bill: Well, it’s not for me. It’s for taylor. I’ve already told sheila exactly what I think of her. But you haven’t had that opportunity and I believe you’ll feel better if you do it.

Taylor: Um…

Katie: I agree. You should. You should confront sheila, after everything she’s done to your family. I mean, I can’t imagine what you went through.

Bill: Yeah, um, I have to own my part in that. I’m sorry for what I put you through, making you think I was blackmailing you. I hope you understand.

Taylor: I– I– I– I understand now. Um, but I’m the one that’s sorry. I– I should’ve never done what I did to you. It haunts me every single day. I– I wanted to turn myself in, and…

Bill: Well, I’ve struck a deal with the feds, so you don’t have to be haunted any longer. I’ve put it out of my mind, I want you to do the same.

Taylor: I am trying. Thank you. Do you know what, bill, you are– you are actually right. I– I do have some things to say to sheila. How soon can we see her?

Bill: Well, I’ve taken the liberty of– of making a call. So, they know that sheila is expecting a visitor.

Katie: You had a lot of faith in your power of persuasion.

Bill: I’m workin’ on it.

Taylor: Okay, so, are– are you ready to do this?

Bill: If you are.

Taylor: Let’s do this. I’ll meet you outside.

Bill: Gonna be here for a while?

Katie: All day.

Bill: Then I’m comin’ back. I’m gonna convince you to have that dinner with me. Won’t quit until I do. As hard as I worked to put sheila away, I’m gonna work even harder to get my family, my katie back. Family is just very important.

Carter: Good news. The budget increase you requested was approved. It’s good to know people in high places.

Katie: Mm. It’s a good thing I’ve been putting my time in with the C.O.O.

Carter: Mm-hmm. So, I talked to taylor earlier.

Katie: Mm-hmm?

Carter: She was looking for bill.

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: Said he wanted to meet her here.

Katie: She found him.

Carter: He was with you?

Katie: Mm-hmm.

Carter: It’s no surprise you were his first stop. There’s no secret that he wants you back now that this whole sheila saga is over.

Katie: Does that bother you?

Carter: It makes sense. Bill wasn’t bill when he was with her, but now that he’s himself again, he wants his life back. Any man would.

Hope: It always still amazes that after all this time worrying and wondering what life-threatening thing that sheila was going to pull next, she is finally out of our lives for good.

Deacon: Well, it was something that had to be done.

Hope: Well, of course it had to be done, after all the chaos that she’s caused in everyone’s life. I mean, from– from being finn’s birth mother to shooting steffy and finn to cutting off her own toe and faking her own death in order to avoid prison. I mean, dad, that is just a fraction of the crazy things that sheila carter has done. I mean, that woman is literally insane.

Deacon: Yeah, there is no doubt about it. There is no one like sheila carter.

Sheila: I don’t have anything scheduled with my attorney.

Guard: An attorney’s not gonna do you any good.

Sheila: Ah, well thank you for that brilliant legal analysis. Why– why am I here?

[ Door buzzing ] Eh, just take me back to my cell because I don’t– I don’t wanna see them.

Bill: You don’t have a choice. I’ll take it from here.

Guard: We’ll be right outside.

[ Door buzzing ]

[ Laughing ]

Sheila: Isn’t this an ironic pairing? The victim and his shooter. Hi, I’m angela.

Carter: Wait, hold on, so they’re at the prison now? Taylor agreed to go?

Katie: Yes. Bill said that he was able to confront sheila to tell her exactly what he thought of her and that taylor deserved the same opportunity and I agree. She lost a lot because of sheila.

Carter: Yeah, she almost lost her daughter. She shot finn and steffy in cold blood. Yeah, I can imagine taylor has a few things to get off her chest.

Katie: Yeah, and sheila is a captive audience.

Carter: Hm. Captive being the operative word.

Katie: Mm-hmm, thank god. I was beginning to think that we would never get that woman out of our lives.

Carter: Hm, I gotta give it to him. I mean, bill pulled it off. Dude fooled everybody, especially sheila.

Katie: She seriously thought she was going to be the next mrs. Bill spencer.

Carter: Yeah, his ruthless streak came in handy this time. We all owe bill a debt of gratitude.

Katie: Hm.

Carter: Has that changed the way you look at him?

[ Katie sighing ]

Sheila: Look, are you here to check up on me? And the last time we saw each other, I did fall on the ground with a heart attack, but I don’t want you to worry because I’m– I’m better now. I was such a fool. Believing that you could be kind. And loving. Compassionate. I– I truly thought you– you loved me. Yeah, we really opened up to one another, and for the first time in my life, I really felt seen. Respected. I trusted you and it was all just a lie. A setup to put me in here for life.

Bill: Well, you’re not such a fool after all. You’re getting it.

Sheila: I’ve never claimed to be a saint, ever, but what you did was deplorable. And you, as a psychiatrist, you must see that.

Taylor: Well, um, yeah, I mean, I guess as a– as a psychiatrist, I– I believe in kindness and compassion. To be honest, even if it hurts. You know, one of my greatest gifts is being able to find the innate goodness in someone. Shine a light on it so that they see it too and you know I believe that everyone has that quality. And then there’s you. Deplorable. Yes, that is shooting steffy and finn to save yourself. Gunning your own son down in an alley.

Sheila: That was an accident.

Taylor: Because you meant to kill my daughter. That’s why it was an accident. You almost took both parents from hayes, someone else you claim to love. But you are only capable of loving yourself. Who is gonna help you? Who can be there for you? That is who you love. Until you don’T. And then, it’s terrifying. I know because I’ve been on the other side of that. Just so scared. But you love to terrify people. You do. It gives you power and it makes you feel alive because deep down inside, you know you’re irrelevant. And thanks to– thanks to bill and ridge, you’re gonna be locked up here for the rest of your life. You almost took my daughter away from me and from everyone who loves her, but by god’s grace, you didn’t do it. I want you to listen to me. From this day forward, your name will never be mentioned again. And hayes won’t ever even know you existed. He won’t even know you walked this earth. The name sheila carter will mean nothing to my family and you will be erased from our lives… forever.

[ Sentimental music ]

Ridge: Make a wish.

[ Claps ]

Ridge: Nice job.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Steffy: Dad, you didn’t have to do all of this. This is so sweet. It’s– it’s wonderful. Maybe we can, um, put it in the kitchen or I– I can take it home, okay?

Ridge: Sure. ‘Cause you gotta go, right?

Steffy: Y– yeah. I– I just wanna get ready before finn gets home.

Ridge: Yeah. Oh, you haven’t seen the card yet?

Steffy: What card?

Ridge: Sit down. You have a second. Come on.

Steffy: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Ridge: And I– I need to press–

Steffy: Oh, no.

Ridge: I got this.

Steffy: Uh-huh. Yeah.

Ridge: That I think. Yes, right there.

[ Joyous instrumental ]

[ Steffy gasps ]

Steffy: Oh, my god. Dad, you put this together?

Ridge: Yeah. It’s all me. No, I wasn’T. I don’t know how to do that. I found the pictures and then zende did it.

Steffy: Oh, my goodness.

[ Steffy laughs ]

[ Steffy chuckling ] That is so– it’s so sweet. It really is. Thank you. But I– I–

Ridge: But you gotta– yeah. Yeah.

Steffy: I’m gonna be late. I’m gonna be late.

Ridge: So what’s the rush, really?

Steffy: Dad!

Ridge: I just thought, you know, we would spend some father-daughter time. We haven’t done that in a long time.

Steffy: What? Didn’t we just– didn’t we just do that?

Ridge: Yeah, sure. No, I just thought we’d go for a walk on the beach and some sushi. You know, that kind of stuff.

Steffy: But you knew I had plans tonight.

Ridge: Yeah.

Steffy: You did. But look, dad, this is wonderful. Like I said, this is amazing and I really loved it and it was super sweet. And I love you so much, but I gotta go.

Ridge: I love you more.

Steffy: I love you. Okay. Don’t eat all the cake. I will have some later.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: Love you. Thank you.

Ridge: Me more. Happy birthday.

Taylor: How did it go?

Ridge: It was– it was good. I wish you could have been here. It was, uh– it was nice. It was really nice.

Taylor: Oh, good. Good. I knew she’d love it. It was so special. And now she is–

Ridge: She’s, um, she not here with me.

Taylor: Because she is with her husband, spending her birthday with him.

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Okay. I mean, come on. You gotta love that steffy has finn, right?

Ridge: Yes!

Taylor: Because there’s no more heartache. There’s no more drama. It’s the complete opposite of what she had with liam. He was such a fool to let her go. And then finn came along.

Ridge: And everything was perfect. No, look, I get it. She’s gonna spend her birthday with anybody but me, then it– yeah, should be finn.

[ Taylor laughs ]

[ Knock on the door ]

Steffy: Oh, liam. Hi.

Liam: Hi.

Steffy: I thought finn forgot his key again.

Liam: No, no, no. Just me. But I– I know you have birthday plans tonight.

Steffy: I’ve– I’ve got a few minutes. Come on in.

Liam: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

Liam: Okay. So, uh, not gonna stay long. I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy birthday.

Steffy: Aw. Thank you.

Liam: Also, I brought your favorite instrument of torture, mr. Quacksworth. Kelly was asking about it.

Steffy: Oh, right.

Liam: And yeah, I could pretend like that was the only reason, but it’s not. I– I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about you all day. I’ve been taking the walk down memory lane. Thinking about our life together. All the stuff we’ve been through and I just– um, we were really fortunate, weren’t we?

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Cha cha cha.

[ Laughter ]

[ Duck squeaking ]

[ Both laughing ] If you’ve had sensitivity, those zingers can really cause

Taylor: This is good.

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Taylor: You know, steffy really has lived two incredibly different lives with two incredibly different men.

Ridge: It’s amazing to me that you keep forgetting the other incredible that she had in her life.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Ridge: It doesn’t matter. How was your breakfast with steffy?

Taylor: Hmm. It was wonderful. It was fun. It was wonder-fun. Okay. You know, I love being here for– for these celebrations. I missed out on so many.

Ridge: Don’t do that. The kids always knew that you were here in spirit, even when you were out saving people.

Taylor: I know. I know. But it still– it still hurts right here.

Ridge: I get that.

Taylor: Yeah. But can you believe that our little girl, our little steffy, she’s– she’s married. She has two kids and she runs an international fashion house.

Ridge: She co-runs it, but yeah. No, she– she’s very, very ambitious. I wonder where she gets it. I love that kid. And not just because she has achieved so much, but because… because of the person she’s become. We should take some credit for that.

Taylor: Should we?

Ridge: Nah.

Taylor: You know, steffy– steffy deserves all the joy this life has to offer. And you know what? She found it with finn. She’s probably in his arms right now, where she belongs on her birthday.

Steffy: That is so not true.

Liam: It is absolutely true. She was there first. You jumped out of the damn car to stand in the parking space.

Steffy: So, we could be first in the space. I wasn’t gonna be– I wasn’t gonna miss the first song of concert, okay? So you’re welcome. You’re welcome.

Liam: Fine.

Steffy: You’re welcome.

Liam: Fine. I’ll tell– I’ll give you this, there is nobody quite like steffy forrester.

Steffy: I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment.

Liam: Oh, it’s a compliment. Trust me. It’s a compliment. You gotta think. I mean, for a huge chunk of our lives, we were everything to each other.

Steffy: Yeah. The hell we shared. Wow.

Liam: Yeah. It’s funny. At the time, I kinda thought it would last forever.

Steffy: Yeah, me too. But we have the memories.

[“The song that never played”]

Notes on a page

have all been arranged

trying to find

the words to say

what I’ve been thinking

I spent all night

working so hard to write

but, by the time

I got it right

I looked, you were gone

well, the melody was perfect

but all the while

I was blind

without someone to listen

there’s no reason or rhyme

and now I write here alone

so you’ll finally know

how you and I became

the song that never played

Liam: Two, three.

Steffy: I’m okay.

[ Steffy gasps ]

Liam: Yeah, you’re not– you’re not going anywhere. Neither am I.

Notes on a page

have all been arranged

Steffy: Mr. And mrs. Spencer.

Liam: Finally.

Steffy: Forever.

Liam: Forever.

What I’ve been thinking

Liam: Hey, you know something? Our love, it’s– it’s changed, but… it’s never going away. Happy birthday. I love you.

I have type 2 diabetes,

Ridge: She just left.

Taylor: Oh, come on, ridge. It’s her birthday.

Ridge: What? No. No. I don’t mean– kindergarten. Do you remember? She– she just left. All the other kids who were clinging onto their parents’ legs crying and… steffy just left. Just turned, walked into that room and never looked back.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, you knew that was coming because she stood up and started running before she could walk.

Ridge: Our beautiful, independent daughter.

Steffy: How is

everybody feeling?

[ Crowd cheers ]

Taylor: Our wild child.

[ Ridge grunts ] You know, as– as parents, we just want our kids to be safe and happy. She found that with finn.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Finn?

Finn: Kelly and hayes are already out for the evening. They already wished you a happy birthday. Now, it’s my turn.

Steffy: You did not have to do all of this.

Finn: What? Ah, you wanted a quiet dinner at home. And if I’ve learned anything being your husband, it’s how to take orders.

Steffy: Hey!

[ Finn laughs ] Our lobster rolls from our favorite restaurant? Favorite pinot grigio. Talk about a celebration, baby.

Finn: Oh, well, we have a lot to celebrate and give thanks for. We made it through some insane challenges that– that would break most people, but, uh, not you.

Steffy: Close. But thankfully, you’re still here.

Finn: Yeah. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express just how grateful I am that you appeared and came into my life and changed it the way you did. I mean, before I met you, I was committed to my work. I– I had no idea what I was missing. Now, I have this brilliant, beautiful wife who always keeps me on my toes.

[ Steffy laughs ] This wonderful, growing family. You taught me balance, fulfillment. Can’t imagine my life any other way. I love you.

Steffy: I love you. Nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Steffy: We are so lucky. Our love, we skirted death. We danced with the devil. We went halfway around the world. This birthday means more to me just… just because I have you here. You know, you… you saved me when we met. You gave me a second chance at life, love, family. And I couldn’t be more happier and more grateful with what we built.

Finn: I got you a gift.

Steffy: I am looking right at my gift. You. You’re here. You’re home. My incredible husband. Amazing father. So happy you’re here. Especially after everything. Things I’ll never forget.

God, finn, can you hear me,

please? Please, finn. Finn. Took off to monaco. I– I thought you were gone.

Finn: But I wasn’T. And I knew she wasn’T.

Sheila: I am taking care

of you.

Finn: No. I wanna see

my wife. I had to get out of there. Make it free and come find you… in monaco. I looked everywhere for you. I looked and I looked.

[ Church bell ringing ] And then…

steffy!

It’s me! It’s me!

I found you.

Steffy, it’s me.

It’s really me.

[ Steffy sobbing ]

Honey, I’m alive.

[ Church bells ringing ]

Steffy: Gosh, we heard the bells. That’s when I saw you. I found you. Oh, I couldn’t be more grateful for that moment.

Finn: Yeah. About the present?

Steffy: Baby, forget about the present. I– I wanna be–

Finn: Just… please open it.

Steffy: Okay. What is this?

Finn: Yeah. Press– press the button.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Church bell ringing ] Oh, my goodness. You got the bells? Are you kidding?

Finn: I had an italian craftsman– yeah, I installed them in the tower.

Steffy: Oh, my god! Thank you. Oh, my gosh, finn. I can’t believe this.

Finn: Well.

[“Reverie”]

Almost too good to be real

’cause this is how love

used to feel

and I think most every

moment with you is reverie

every moment with you

is reverie

Finn: Happy birthday.

[ Relaxing music ]

Liam: So, I think, um– I think maybe there’s been a– a misunderstanding. I didn’t come here because I need you to reassure me about my marriage.

Thomas: I get it. You don’t like hope spending time with me.

Liam: That’s true, but… I trust hope. I just don’t trust you.

Thomas: Sure, and I– I haven’t really given you a reason to trust me.

Liam: And you’ve never given me a reason to change my mind.

Thomas: But maybe I can in time. Everyone knows that hope is committed to you and your marriage.

Liam: And nothing is gonna change that, including you. You understand that, right?

Steffy: Sometimes things work out the way they’re meant to. Sheila’s in jail, our families are safe. I’m happy with finn and our kids and douglas is back with you and liam and beth and you’re happy and in love with liam.

Hollis: I mean, it’s been a lot of time since our dinner and I still can’t stop thinking about you. I just know that there’s so much more that we can have together. Much more.

Brooke: Hollis, you’re very sweet and sexy, a good kisser, but you’re looking to date and I’m not ready yet.

Hollis: Yet.

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Okay. You are relentless.

Brooke: I am flattered, I truly am, but I think our days of special deliveries are over.

Hollis: Look, maybe dinner at your house wasn’t as romantic as it should have been.

Brooke: Oh, no. No, it was. It was lovely. And that kiss. Oh, my gosh, that kiss. But as much as I enjoyed it, I’m not sure I’m ready to jump into something.

[ Taylor clears her throat ]

Taylor: Oh, hello there. You’re looking a little flustered.

Brooke: Whoo.

Taylor: So is–

Brooke: I am.

Taylor: So is there gonna be another dinner with hollis or did you chase him away?

Liam: Hope brought you back for one reason, to help save her line.

Thomas: And we’re gonna make that happen. I’m not gonna let her down.

Liam: That’s awesome because you are a valuable co-worker to her, but nothing more. So, please understand, all the long hours, all the talk about teamwork and partnership, there’s no hidden message there. It’s all about hope for the future. It’s not about you.

Steffy: If thomas does become a problem for you, I– I wanna know.

Hope: He won’t be.

Steffy: I’m glad to hear that, but I do have high hopes for this partnership. But if thomas does step outta line or if you need some distance, you can come to me. I– I do want hope for the future to succeed, but I also want you to feel supported. Our moms are doing it and I hope we can do that too.

Hope: Thank you. Steffy, I– I appreciate that. I really do, but your brother has just been a complete professional.

Steffy: I’m really glad to hear that.

Hope: Yeah, I just– I wish liam would believe it too. You know, I’ve tried to reassure him, but I don’t know, nothing seems to help. Maybe if he heard it though, coming from someone who– who works here at the office and knows firsthand how thomas and I interact. I mean, I know you already kind of broached the subject with him, but maybe it’s worth trying again. You know, help liam see that there’s nothing to worry about when it comes to thomas and me. Keep it quilted means you keep it the best…

Steffy: You want me to help you out with liam?

Hope: Well, I just– maybe you might be able to get through to him. I mean, talk to him, reassure him, it might make more of a difference coming from you.

Steffy: I– I tried, I tried to make it clear to him that I think my brother has changed. And his obsession with you is in the past.

Hope: And liam just wouldn’t listen.

Steffy: Hope. Okay– okay, I will, uh– I will give it another shot. I will talk to him again.

Hope: Thank you.

Steffy: Yeah, of course. It’s the least I can do. You let thomas come back to hope for the future and yes, it was right for the line, but it was also so good for him. I’ve never seen him so motivated and energized.

Hope: Yeah, I can see it too.

Steffy: But if– if thomas, like, freaks you out, being around him in any way, like, come to me. Know that I’m here for you.

Taylor: Hello? You’re quiet all of a sudden.

Brooke: Yeah, sorry.

Taylor: That’s okay. What’s going on? Are you thinking about hollis asking you out to dinner again?

Brooke: I wish, no. Probably something I can’t do right now.

Taylor: Right, because you want to focus on your family?

Brooke: Yes. And this isn’t about ridge?

Brooke: No, nothing like that, no.

Taylor: Okay. Well, you’re thinking about something. Something’s wrong. What is it?

Brooke: Look, I don’t wanna get into it. We’re here, having a nice meal, nice dessert. I don’t wanna get too heavy. Probably reading too much into it anyway.

Taylor: Okay. And maybe– maybe your feelings are completely valid and we can work it out together. It’s kind of my specialty.

Brooke: It’s hope. Our relationship as mother and daughter. She would like to be the complete opposite of me.

Thomas: Hope and I have agreed to keep things professional.

Liam: Right, but hope doesn’t have a problem with boundaries. You do.

Thomas: I did, you’re right. But not anymore.

Liam: [Indistinct] Was so much easier if I could just, like, take your word for it.

Thomas: I’m not– I’m not expecting you to just take my word for it, all right? I– I know that my promises don’t mean that much to you, but I’m asking you to trust me.

Liam: I know, yeah, I know. You just want a chance to prove yourself. I know.

Thomas: Yeah. I do.

Liam: Listen, hope did what she had to do to save her line and I will always be supportive of her career, but thomas, she is not attracted to you. Hope is impregnably faithful and she loves me with all of her heart.

Thomas: Hope.

Liam: Hey.

Hope: You two playing nice?

Liam: Yup.

Thomas: Well, liam’s concerned about me, in relationship to your marriage. It’s not like I can blame him, all right. But I promised both of you that I am fully respectful of your marriage and your commitment to each other.

Liam: That’s all I wanted to hear. You wanna– do you wanna get out of here? Do you wanna, uh, grab some lunch or something?

Hope: Actually, uh, thomas and I still have some work to do, but I won’t be late.

Liam: Okay. I’ll see you later.

Hope: I’ll see you soon.

Thomas: Um, I meant what I said and I don’t think liam’s gonna believe me, but, I promise, hope, I don’t want to cause any issues for you or your marriage or turn your world upside down, ever again. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Brooke: My daughter doesn’t want to be anything like me.

Taylor: Do you think she really meant it like that?

Brooke: Those were her exact words.

Taylor: Okay. What– what sparked it? Have you been arguing?

Brooke: No, I mean my past hasn’t been an issue between us for a long time.

Taylor: Wait a minute. She– she brought up your past?

Brooke: My relationships with inappropriate men. I do regret the pain that my decisions have caused my family. I do, but you know what, those were my decisions to make and I made them. And whether they were right or wrong, it doesn’t really matter. I’m not gonna beat myself up for following my heart.

Taylor: Are hope and liam having problems?

Brooke: Every time I ask her, she just gets more and more upset. So, I am concerned, yeah.

Taylor: That makes sense. I understand that. But hope and liam will work it out. I– I do believe that. Hope is so in love and committed to liam.

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Steffy: Hey, hey, are you looking for hope?

Liam: No, no, actually I just saw hope. But if you’re busy, I can, I–

Steffy: No, no, actually, um– I– I need to speak with you.

Liam: Okay. Is it about kelly? Did she clock another boy?

Steffy: No. No, no, it’s– it’s about hope. I’m not trying to bring up a bad subject, but we’ve already had this discussion and um–

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah, and hope she– she came here and she, um…

Liam: Steffy, she what? She came here.

Steffy: She’s worried about your concerns with thomas.

Liam: Is she maybe starting to share those concerns?

Steffy: No. No and neither. No, and neither am I. But clearly, you still have a problem with it, so she asked if I could talk to you.

Liam: Oh, great. So now you’re both pleading his case.

Steffy: No, no, look, hope and thomas, they are doing really great work and they’re doing everything they can to rebuild their professional connection. She understands that you’re upset and she knows that she hasn’t been able to convince you, so she asked if I could help.

Thomas: Like I said, hope, I’m– I’m so sorry for the heartache and pain that I’ve caused you in the past. Especially when you came in and transformed our lives. When caroline died, douglas and I, we were lost, but you came in and you– you– you gave him a mother and you showed us both love and compassion that we needed. And I cannot thank you enough for that. I am so grateful for you, hope. And I promise, like I said before, I– I don’t want to come in between your marriage and disrupt your life, okay? But my feelings for you, well, they were valid. It makes complete sense that anyone could fall in love with you because hope, you’re amazing.

For your most brilliant smile,

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Hope and I have our differences, but I really admire who she is, who she’s become. And her morals and her principles, her priorities. But ever since her outburst, I’ve been really concerned.

Taylor: In what way?

Brooke: Are you having

feelings for another man?

Is it thomas?

Hope: This isn’t about me.

This is about you.

Brooke: All marriages have problems. That’s what I told her. You just have to face them together.

Taylor: And you really think that hope and liam are having issues?

Brooke: Their marriage has been under a lot of pressure.

Taylor: Oh, it’s because of hope working with thomas. Oh, I wish there was a way to convince liam that thomas had truly changed.

Liam: Hope wants you to speak to me?

Steffy: I told her I already had. Look, I’m– I am just trying to be completely transparent with both of you, but I am in a weird position because part of me feels like hope wants me to defend my brother and…

Liam: Which you… you have an issue with?

Steffy: No, no, not at all. And that is the strangest part of all because after everything my brother did, all the infuriating and destructive things he has done, I truly believe when he says it won’t happen again. My brother is working on himself. He is on the straight and narrow. He’s going to therapy. He is focused on work.

Liam: Well, yeah, he’s focused on hope’s collection, where he gets to spend as much time with her as he wants.

Steffy: Okay. The feelings thomas had for hope, they are in the past. They will not interfere in your marriage, okay?

Hope: I’m not perfect.

Thomas: Well, maybe you don’t see yourself that way but douglas does.

Hope: Well, he’s a little boy, of course, he looks up to both of his parents.

Thomas: Right, but only one of his parents deserve it. You gave douglas a future. He loves you so much.

Hope: And I love him.

Thomas: Yeah. Even when– even when he wasn’t living with you, when he was living with me, or when he was living with steffy, he still knew you were there for him. He could always count on you. You’ve always been that for him. You– you’re just incredible and– and in his life and I honestly, I– I can– I thank you for all of that. And I– and I wanna show you all the gratitude in the world, but honestly, I– I– I– I– I don’t want to freak you out or… yeah.

Hope: You’re not.

Thomas: No?

Hope: No. You and caroline created a beautiful, amazing boy and I am just– I’m lucky that I get to be a part of his life.

Thomas: Okay. Even if, um– even if his father is a part of the package?

Hope: Yeah, sure. Even if his father is a bad boy every now and then.

Thomas: Oh, well, good thing you’re the good girl.

Hope: Hm. It’s not as easy as it looks. To be honest, thomas, most of my life has felt like me trying to be someone different than my mom. You know, she had a tendency to jump from one man to the next, chasing passion and desire. She thrived on the attention and I judged her for it. I thought it was inappropriate, but maybe really, she was just following her heart. Maybe I was wrong.

Thomas: Um, what are you saying?

Hope: I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m just trying to still figure my life out.

Thomas: Aren’t we all doing that? There is one thing I know for sure.

Hope: What is that?

Thomas: Your place in douglas’s life? Like when– when things are going crazy. I don’t know which way is up. I’ve got two things, right? I’ve got my work and I’ve got our son and you’re always there for him. And I know it’s really, really cheesy and I’ve said it before, but you honestly are the hope for our future.

Hope: Well, thank you, thomas. I– I needed to hear that.

Thomas: Maybe I am the bad boy, but you’ll always be the good girl. You’re like an angel.

[ Steffy laughing ]

Liam: Wait, did I– is that– go back, go back.

Steffy: Here.

Liam: Did she– she pushed that kid. Kelly pushed that kid over.

Steffy: What can I say? Our daughter loves a scavenger hunt. But she did share her prize with all the other kids.

Liam: Aw.

Steffy: She is such a determined little girl.

Liam: Yeah, she is. Now, who– who does that remind me of?

Steffy: I don’t know. It’s so weird. Yeah, she’s my mini-me for sure.

Liam: Thank you for that. I needed, uh, to laugh a little.

Steffy: Are you still stressing over thomas?

Liam: No. No, I’m not– it’s not that I’m– I– okay, maybe a little bit. I just– I want to support hope, right. I want to support her decision-making. I just– yeah, I don’t know if– if I can trust thomas around her here.

Thomas: I am so thankful for you and you being willing to give me another chance in your life and it’s just, it’s a testament to the kind of person that you really are. What did you decide on the fringe, hope?

Hope: Uh, huh? What?

Thomas: The, uh, the camel coat we talked about?

Hope: Oh, right. Um, right.

Thomas: Hope.

Hope: What?

Thomas: Is everything okay?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Taylor: I am loving the menu here. Everything is just amazing, right? It’s, um, it’s decadent in all the best ways.

Brooke: And the company’s not so bad either.

Taylor: Very true. And the company’s about to get even better.

Hollis: Well, hello, ladies.

Brooke: Hi, hollis.

Taylor: Hi.

Hollis: It’s good to see you, both of you.

Taylor: Oh– oh, I exist today.

Hollis: How’s everything?

Brooke: Uh, the food is fabulous.

Hollis: Well, I’m glad you’re enjoying yourselves.

Taylor: I’m glad that brooke suggested that we come here. This has actually become one of our favorite restaurants. I can’t imagine why.

Hollis: I’ll send over some dessert later, on the house.

Taylor: Oh, that’s very sweet. So, do you, uh, send dessert over to all your return customers?

Hollis: Just the extra special ones.

Customer: Hey, hollis. I had a question about the wine list. I’m looking for something kind of smooth and velvety. Maybe stop by my table when you get a chance.

Hollis: Sure. Yeah.

Customer: Thanks.

Taylor: Mm, smooth and velvety.

Brooke: I guess some people come here for more than just the food and the wine.

Taylor: Yeah, I bet most of the customers come here to flirt with hollis, just like that one was doing.

Hollis: I didn’t notice. There’s only one woman who’s got my attention.

Steffy: Everyone is in a really good place, including my brother.

Liam: That’s what I keep hearing.

Steffy: Your skepticism makes sense. Thomas has given you a million reasons not to trust him. I get it.

Liam: But– but to your point, that’s the thing. I trust hope.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Liam: That should be the most important thing. So, what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just focus on the fact that my wife knows what’s good for herself?

Steffy: Because you’re trying to protect someone you care deeply about. We all do that. I wouldn’t be saying this if I didn’t believe it. And I wouldn’t have pushed hope to work with thomas if I had seen any red flags.

Thomas: Are you okay?

Hope: Me? Yeah. Yeah, everything’s fine.

Thomas: You sure?

Hope: Yeah. It’s just, remember that conversation earlier?

Thomas: About crazy thoughts?

Hope: Yeah, I just– I might be having one of those moments. Man: I’m not slowing down anytime soon.

Taylor: Okay. All right. I know that you weren’t ready then, but I can see that you’re excited. I– let’s– let’s just review the highlights of your– of your dinner with hollis, okay? Okay, you had a gorgeous guy over. You laughed a lot and you made out.

Brooke: I wouldn’t say made out.

Taylor: Yes, you’re the one that said it was hot.

Brooke: It was.

Taylor: See, that’s what I’m talking about. I mean, I guess first kisses are always great, right?

Brooke: Especially with hollis.

Taylor: See, that’s the look I’m talking about. I–

[ Taylor clearing her throat ]

Hollis: Can I get you ladies anything?

Taylor: Um, I am good. Brooke, are you sure there’s not anything you want?

Brooke: No. No, I’m fine, thank you.

Hollis: Oh, brooke, you are so much more than fine. You are absolutely beautiful.

Taylor: Oh, would you look at that? I have a client that I need to call.

Brooke: Taylor. I’m– I’m sorry, she’s being so obvious.

Hollis: No, it’s okay, I actually kind of liked it. Do you mind if I sit for a minute?

Brooke: Sure. Go ahead.

Hollis: It’s really nice to see you, brooke.

Brooke: It’s nice to see you, hollis.

Hollis: Look, I know I should probably be playing this a little more cool, but um, god, I can’t stop thinking about you.

Brooke: Really? Really?

Steffy: You are in a tough position. You’re trying to honor hope’s wishes, respect her career while trying to keep her safe and your marriage healthy.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I just don’t want thomas taking advantage of her kindness and generosity.

Steffy: And that’s a valid concern because he has in the past.

Liam: Yeah, well, I mean, he’s manipulated all of us at one point or another. But that’s– that’s– that’s why I have a hard time believing he’s just like, cured now. Like all of a sudden, he’s a well-adjusted stand-up guy.

Steffy: If it’s any consolation, he is laser-focused on work. He’s trying to put out the best line possible. And honestly, I don’t sense any weirdness from thomas towards hope.

Liam: Really? I– okay, I’m glad to hear you say that because the guy is getting to spend a lot of time alone with my wife. Oh, my god, listen to me right now. Like I sound so jealous.

Steffy: But you’re– but you’re not. You’re just a nurturing, concerned husband. There’s a big difference and hope understands that. She appreciates it. She appreciates you. We all do.

Thomas: You know I’ve had, uh, I’ve had my fair share of wild thoughts in the past. When your– your mind starts racing, your heart starts beating and I don’t know, it feels like you have this overwhelming anxiety. But I– I’m sure that my version of wild thought and our version of wild thought are very different. But, uh, now, I’m not thinking those kind of thoughts anymore, right. My wild thoughts are having to do with pushing the envelope when it comes to design, right? Like, uh, what do I do with the neckline? And if I do this, is it too much, right? If I add a sequin here, is that too much? If I– if I put ruffles here, is everyone gonna go mad?

Hope: Well, of course, they are because everybody hates ruffles. Don’t you know that?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Thomas: No, that was great. That was great. I’m so glad that we can laugh like this and you’re comfortable enough around me, you know? Um, there was a while where I wanted it all with you and um, now I’m just– I realize that what we have, it’s more than enough. I am so grateful you’re in my life.

Hope: I’m grateful for you too, thomas.

…I’m over 45.

Hollis: Look, brooke, I’m sorry if I’m being too forward, I am, but I had a really great time with you. And I know we only hung out once. And for all I know, it was some silly dare that taylor put you up to. And everyone says that ridge is your– your true love, but I don’t know. At the end of that night, that kiss that we shared, I’ve never experienced a kiss like that before.

Brooke: Oh, come on, hollis. You have girls falling at your feet everywhere flirting with you, like that– smooth and velvety back there.

Hollis: Yeah, well, what about you, brooke? I mean, come on, you’re this world-famous fashion industry icon. You got men falling at your feet left and right.

Brooke: Please, that’s nonsense.

Hollis: No, no, it’s not.

Steffy: I’ll need a report from international by tomorrow. Okay. Yes, absolutely. Yes, pilar will get back to me with a report. Mm-hmm. And a proposal. Yes. Yes, she will. Yeah, come on in. All department heads need to report to me. Thank you. Okay, bye bye.

Hope: You didn’t need to get off the phone.

Steffy: No, no, it’s fine, I was just finishing up.

Hope: Okay. Um, well, I actually was wondering if we could schedule a meeting to go over hope for the future’s latest designs because your brother is on quite the roll.

Steffy: That’s awesome. Yeah, he is really coming through for us.

Hope: He is. I mean, honestly steffy, I haven’t seen him this inspired in– well, ever, really.

Steffy: So, how are things outside of work?

Hope: Oh, uh, well, douglas being home has been wonderful, so thank you again for taking such great care of him.

Steffy: Absolutely, of course. And um, you and liam? I know that liam has some issues with you and thomas collaborating.

Hope: Yes and I wish that weren’t the case.

Steffy: I know, but he loves you and he’s just looking out for you and the kids.

Hope: No, I know. I know he means well. I just– I don’t think he’s ever going to be convinced that thomas isn’t the man that he used to be.

Steffy: Yeah, actually I– I was just– I was talking to liam and that is something he is struggling with.

Hope: Well, I mean, everyone has seen the leaps and bounds that thomas has made. I mean, not just me, but I know you’ve seen it. I mean, everyone here at work.

Steffy: Yeah, thomas is coping very nicely. Like he’s working well under pressure and honestly, I don’t see any of his old patterns re-emerging. And trust me, I am looking very closely.

Hope: Mm. And you made that clear to my husband?

Steffy: I told liam he has nothing to be concerned about when it comes to you and thomas. I’m right, aren’t I?

[ Knock on door ]

Thomas: Hey.

Liam: Hey.

Thomas: Uh, if you’re looking for hope, I think she’s in with my sister.

Liam: Uh, no, actually I’m uh, here for you.

Thomas: Oh, all right. Uh, what’s up? Uh, here, my new design. You wanna check it– check it out?

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. That’s really good.

Thomas: Thanks. Um, I– I appreciate that. It’s– we’re trying some new things, you know. This is like a much more comfortable vibe and not just obviously with the– with the designs, but with the artistic process, everything. It’s like a whole new everything.

Liam: Including you?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, I– I feel like I’m a completely different person. But you’re not buying it?

Liam: No, it’s– it’s not that, it’s just– it’s a little convenient, you know, given the last time and the time before.

Thomas: Well, hopefully at some point we can only focus on the future and not constantly be looking in the past.

Liam: Yeah, that’s actually, I was– I was just talking to steffy about this.

Thomas: Speaking of someone that, um, I’ve been growing with. I mean, I think, uh– hopefully, I’ve repaired our relationship a little bit. Um, she seems happy about my progress and– and also with my family, there’s progress there too.

Liam: Yeah, she’s, uh– she’s really proud of you, thomas. She’s been a big advocate for you and she– she has reassured me that I don’t have anything to worry about when it comes to you and hope working together. I guess that’s why I’m here. I just, um… wanted to hear it from you. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Hollis: Look, brooke. All I’m trying to say is that you’ve been on my mind a lot since our dinner. And I know you said you didn’t want anything serious right now.

Brooke: I just got out of my marriage.

Hollis: Which I totally respect, but at least let me take you on a proper dinner date.

Brooke: You don’t have to do that, hollis.

Hollis: Yeah, but I– I want to. There’s this place in topanga I’ve been wanting to try. We’ll keep it totally casual. No pressure. I just feel like there’s a lot more here that we can explore. I know there is. What do you say? One kiss from brooke logan just isn’t enough.

Thomas: You got nothing to worry about.

Liam: Yeah, it’s just– it’s one thing to say that, but–

Thomas: No, I understand you’re– you’re apprehensive, especially after what you walked in on the other day.

Liam: Oh, you mean you and hope on the couch with your hands all over my wife.

Thomas: That is not what happened, okay? We were working together, I was making adjustments, she was on the riser and she fell into–

Liam: Thomas, I know. I– I understand that now. I just hope you can understand why I would have assumed the worst in the moment.

Thomas: Yeah, I get it. After everything that we’ve been through. Um, but I’m committed to who I am now, all right. I’m not gonna be backsliding into the old thomas and– and I am focused 100% on– on never jeopardizing what I have with hope now.

Liam: I’m trying so hard to believe that.

Thomas: I know that my word may not mean that much to you, but I am being 100% honest. My focus now is on the line, my relationship with hope as friends, as co-parents. I think we’re creating a great family for douglas in the way that we haven’t and we’re working well together here, okay? But I am not gonna be going after hope in any way. Making any moves on her, all right? And even if she came on to me, I would say no.

Liam: Okay, see that right there. Do you– do you hear what you’re saying? Do you see why that would worry me? That you’re entertaining that? Hope coming on to you as a plausible scenario. Thomas, hope is not going to be coming on to you because that is ridiculous.

Thomas: Of course not because she is fully committed to you and your marriage.

Steffy: So there’s no reason to worry about you and thomas, right?

Hope: No, of course not.

Steffy: Okay. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear you say that because I do feel as though my brother has changed.

Hope: I agree.

Steffy: I just think it’s important that we stay professional and avoid conflict.

Hope: I would love that because I– I don’t want any problems either.

Steffy: I would love that too and I mean, look at our moms. They’re kind of paving the way for us.

Hope: I know. I think they’re actually having lunch together.

Steffy: I think they are. It’s really nice that they’ve been able to move past their differences and come to a place of understanding. I really hope that we can do that too.

Hope: I would love that. I think it would be also really nice for the kids.

Steffy: Yeah, it would. And I’m– you know, I’m happy. I’m– I’m in love with finn and you’re in love with liam and I really do feel as though this is how things are supposed to be. Not to say things weren’t difficult at first.

Hope: Yeah, things were tough at times.

Steffy: Yeah, many times, especially when liam married you and we had our daughter, but it was tough, but I found finn. And I am absolutely in love with him and I just know he is my forever and I know liam is your forever.

Steffy: Did I forward you that invitation?

Liam: To what? Oh, to josephine’s birthday party? Yeah, I just keep meaning to ask kelly what she wants to get her.

Steffy: No, sky’s birthday. Also on your weekend.

Liam: Oh, my god. Why is our daughter so damn popular? She was invited to everything.

Steffy: I know, right? And the answer is a hockey stick for josephine and something sloth like for sky.

Liam: Sloth like?

Steffy: Yeah, she’s obsessed with them.

Liam: Oh, wow. Okay. Uh, yeah, I should– I should be able to make it there, like barely right after the– um, soccer match.

Steffy: Okay. Well, uh, let me know if you need help. I don’t want to step on your time, but I should be available.

Liam: No, no. Actually, uh, I might take you up on that just because, you know, hope’s been working overtime on the line, and I’ll probably be juggling three kids.

Steffy: Yeah. But it is nice to see hope motivated. Thomas too. I mean, there’s so much that has to be done before the next showing. They’re actually in a meeting right now.

Liam: Hm, imagine that?

Steffy: Am I hearing a tone?

Liam: No. Yeah, a little bit. Look, I don’t wanna– I don’t wanna be that husband.

Steffy: But…

Liam: But thomas is your brother, I know you love him, but you would be straight with me, right?

Steffy: Yeah, always.

Liam: Is he okay?

Hope: These numbers are higher than expected.

Charlotte: Yeah. I mean, it’s still a bit too soon to call it a complete turnaround from where we were a few months ago, but the early numbers are definitely promising.

Paris: Are we surprised though with thomas back on the line?

Thomas: Ha, ha, ha. No, no, no, this isn’t because of me. Hope for the future is a team effort. Zende, especially, your contribution hasn’t gone unnoticed. I mean, you’re as pivotal now as you were before I came back.

Zende: I appreciate that. But let’s give credit where credit’s due. No one, and I mean no one, shares hope’s vision the way you do and communicates it to us. You get her and her line better than anyone.

Paris: And the new promotional material?

Charlotte: Three days at the most, but I can push for two.

Paris: Okay, great. I’ve got several people asking.

Hope: Oh, that actually reminds me. I did get your email and thank you for putting that list together on such short notice because I would like to partner with all of them. I mean, they all seem worthwhile.

Paris: Yeah? Great. When you said you wanted new and dynamic charities attached to this line, I was a little bit worried about finding the right fits.

Hope: Oh, you found them, and then some. I mean, they all have such amazing positive messaging and that’s exactly what hope for the future is about. So, needless to say, I’m thrilled.

Charlotte: Okay, that puts more pressure on me to get that material ready, but I’ll have it tomorrow.

Paris: Even better.

Zende: More pressure on you? How do you think thomas and I feel?

Hope: Hey, hey, you two have been doing a phenomenal job. I mean, I know I’ve been putting the pressure on you guys to get this next collection out, but it’s been remarkable watching you give it your all. Really inspired by the new direction we’re going in. And you have all been so dedicated and focused, and it means a lot knowing that you have my back.

Thomas: Well, I think I can speak for all of us and say that we’re the ones that are thrilled. We’re just all so thankful to be working on the line.

Steffy: Is thomas okay?

Liam: Yeah, I– I’m just, um, I’m not trying to put you in an awkward position. I know he’s your brother and you want him to succeed obviously.

Steffy: Yeah, definitely.

Liam: And I respect that and more than that, I respect you as a businesswoman, but you’re the one who urged hope to bring thomas back on her line and I just, I got– I gotta think you wouldn’t have done that if you thought there was even a possibility that he’s not–

Steffy: No, no, they’re a successful team. A profitable one. And thomas is a really talented designer.

Liam: I know that. I’m not questioning that. I’m just– can he be professional? That’s the thing. Like, can– can thomas be content with– with a totally platonic, healthy working relationship with hope or is he already going down the same path he always goes down where he starts getting obsessed with my wife?

Liam: So, like, wait, I didn’t, just so you know, I wasn’t asking that out of nowhere. Like I– I walked in on something the other day–

Steffy: Ah yes, the infamous fall off the riser.

Liam: Oh, no. You heard about that?

Steffy: About your overreaction?

Liam: I– dude, no! I wasn’t– ugh. You should have seen it.

Steffy: Them tangled up on the couch. Yeah, I get it.

Liam: Okay, but no, but steffy, like what it looked like was bad.

Steffy: I’m sure it was completely innocent. He was helping break her fall.

Liam: Yeah, that has been made clear to me now.

Steffy: Okay, look, given thomas’s history, I do understand why you would be concerned, but–

Liam: But– but what? Are you saying I have a reason to be concerned?

Steffy: No, no, no–

Liam: Really? Are you sure, ’cause?

Steffy: No, not any more. I’m sure. I’m sure. I do believe thomas has made some real significant changes. I wouldn’t have asked hope to work with thomas otherwise.

Liam: Even if it was good business?

Steffy: Liam! I wouldn’t ask hope to work with thomas if I thought thomas was a danger to her. No, look at me. I would not put hope or your marriage at risk.

Liam: Okay.

Charlotte: Thomas had a one track mind, all about you, but I can really see a change in him. He’s different. He’s– he’s a really good guy.

Hope: Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.

Thomas: Hey, uh, tell me you heard from that guy from paris. You’re waiting on a really big order?

Hope: Fingers crossed, we will hear from him today.

Thomas: Great.

Zende: Hey, guys, I’m gonna head down to the sewing room. I want to make sure that they got that fabric change we were discussing.

Hope: All right, thank you, zende, appreciate it.

Zende: You got it.

Hope: Bye.

Paris: We are getting responses. Two charities confirmed already.

Hope: Seriously? That’s amazing.

Paris: And they have questions. Lots of them. Looks like I got phone calls to make. You’ll check on that promotional material?

Charlotte: I’m on it.

Paris: Bye.

Charlotte: And thomas, I just wanted to say that it’s so great having you back. Your talent and your energy. Let me know if you ever want to look over projections together.

Thomas: Sounds good.

Charlotte: Okay, we’ll set something up.

Thomas: I’m, uh, I’m glad we’re alone.

Hope: You are?

Thomas: Yeah, there’s something I wanted to say to you. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate what you said. It means a lot coming from you. Telling me that I’m doing a great job because I respect you. I respect you so much. I respect your work, the line. I also respect your message, and I promise I respect your marriage. Hi, I’m eileen.

Liam: I mean, don’t get me wrong, like I wanna believe you. I wanna be as confident as you are that thomas is just fine around hope.

Steffy: It’s just that history suggests otherwise? I understand your hesitation.

Liam: Well, yeah, I mean, like, it wasn’t even that long ago that you had to take a hard line with the guy, like you kicked him out of the company.

Steffy: I did, yeah, I promised thomas that he wouldn’t be working on hope’s line. He wasn’t even allowed here in this building. If I thought thomas was the same man he used to be, lying and manipulating, I would not expose hope to that kind of trauma. And I– and I wouldn’t put her or your marriage in harm’s way.

Liam: I know. You really think he’s changed?

Steffy: Yeah, I do.

Liam: It’s just, like, he’s made this claim before, you know that he’s all better now and we know what happened then or what always happens. I’m not, I– I sound like I’m not trying to trash your brother. In fact, I’m really happy that you’re confident about him. I just… okay, let’s say this is legit, right? And he really is working on himself. He’s trying to be a better man. Things can go wrong. Like what if it doesn’t last? What– what– what does that mean for hope then? And I wanna– I want to trust my wife’s instincts and I definitely don’t wanna be like a controlling husband.

Steffy: That is not who you are. I know you. The husband that you are is kind, nurturing and supportive. And hope knows that too, liam. How could she not?

Thomas: You know, I feel like we have finally made it to higher ground. You know, at a place of mutual respect and understanding.

Hope: It does feel that way, doesn’t it? It’s about time.

Thomas: Oh, it’s about time, all right. It is. Finally moving on from the past and– and the way that I was, my issues, and now we’re working together and parenting douglas, and I actually feel normal, you know. And so I’m– I’m proud of that progress.

Hope: I’m proud of it too. It’s been a long road.

Thomas: It has. But how I feel about you now? Well… it’s– my feelings for you are so much stronger and better and– and more mature than they ever were before. I mean, look, I– I– I thought that I was the answer to your problems. I thought that I was the person for you and that I could make you happy. But now I realize, I know, that it’s not me. Obviously, it’s liam. You guys are so happy together and you being happy, it brings me so much joy. And for a while, I was so sure about you and that led me to doing some pretty terrible things, um, things I regret. But at the same time that– that humbles me, you know, and that makes me turn into a better person. And this is just a really long winded way of me trying to tell you that I am so thankful for you and you being willing to give me another chance in your life, and it’s just– it’s a testament to the kind of person that you really are.

Hope: Wow. Well, um, you’re welcome, but I believe there is the right woman out there for you somewhere, especially now that you’ve done all this introspection and made all these changes to your life. I think even, hey, you might be ready for a relationship.

Thomas: Ooh.

Hope: You gotta lot of love to give, thomas.

Thomas: You think she’s out there, huh? The woman for me?

Hope: Oh, I know she is. It’s just maybe you haven’t met her yet? Or maybe you have? Perhaps even, she’s here at forrester?

Thomas: Do you have someone in mind?

Hope: I don’t know. I pick up on a vibe sometimes with you and paris.

Thomas: With paris? No, if there’s a vibe, it’s just a friendly one.

Hope: Uh, okay. Well, uh, what about sloan?

Thomas: The model?

Hope: She asked you out for drinks the other day?

Thomas: Yeah. No, she’s– she’s really cute. It’s just, you know, I, um, I think it would be fun, but the woman for me? Eh.

Hope: Okay, all right, fine. So, you don’t want an office romance, clearly. Uh, but I’m sure you must go out from time to time.

Thomas: You know what? It’s just– it’s not good timing right now.

Hope: Oh, so you’re too busy to date?

Thomas: You said it yourself. I mean, we have so much to do.

Hope: Okay, yes. But a date or two isn’t going to derail hope for the future or your inner progress, right?

Thomas: You’re starting to sound more like my mom.

Hope: Huh. Well, you know what? Taylor’s a doctor, so i will take that as a compliment.

Thomas: Okay, okay. Look, I am– I am excited to find the woman for me, right? And I– I do want that.

[Indistinct] In the potential, who knows, near future, but right now, that’s not what I’m focused on. I’m focused on work and– and creating the best line humanly possible. And honestly, I’m glad I’m doing it with you because I– I don’t think I could be doing the caliber of work that I’m doing with anyone else.

Hope: Thomas, I’m sure you could collaborate with anyone. I mean, especially now.

Thomas: Now that I’ve gotten past my, let’s call them rough patches? There were a few. Yeah. But I– I am glad that my, uh, crazy thought days are over.

Liam: You sure you’re okay?

Hope: Well, thomas, just because you have crazy thoughts, doesn’t mean you need to act on them.

Thomas: Had, not have. I– my, my crazy thought days are over.

Liam: Well, listen, I, um, I appreciate you lending an ear and I appreciate your support. I know you’ve got much better things to do than listen to me drone on and on about your brother, so.

Steffy: Hey, what could be more important?

Liam: Um, I don’t know, maybe the whole like running a company thing.

Steffy: Yeah. That’s true.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: It was a good talk. Thank you.

Steffy: Of course. I know you’re worried about this and I just don’t want you to bottle it up. So know that you can– you can talk to me, any time. Your happiness is important to me.

Liam: I’d be a lot happier if I had your confidence. There’s nothing to be concerned about.

Steffy: Life is full of concerns, but mostly small ones, like getting to birthdays and soccer games. Try not to stress about things that aren’t even there. I– I get it. But honestly, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to thomas and hope.

Thomas: What is it?

Liam: What’s wrong?

Hope: Just because you

have a crazy thought, doesn’t

mean you have to act on it.

Liam: You sure you’re okay?

Hope: That can never happen. [ Echoing ] Never. That can never happen. [ Echoing] Never. That can never happen. [ Echoing ] Never.

[ Dramatic music ]

Brooke: I– I still haven’t forgotten what you said the other night, hope. How you won’t ruin your marriage with liam. You won’t be drawn to the bad boy like I was. Honey, I can see that you’re struggling with something.

[ Brooke sighing ] Look, it’s really hard for me to imagine, but tell me, do you have feelings for thomas?

Taylor: So, is that a yes?

Ridge: To what? A family dinner with all my favorites? Yeah, of course.

Taylor: It’s actually a family dinner with all our grandkids favorites, so.

Ridge: What’s the difference? They like mac and cheese. I love mac and cheese. They hate kale. I hate kale. It’s the same thing.

Taylor: That’s because you’re a big kid yourself.

Thomas: Who is? Me? Dad?

[ Taylor laughs ]

Ridge: Yeah. Your mom’s giving me a hard time.

Taylor: Oh, no. I’m not. I’m just trying to plan a family dinner. And you know how hard it is for your dad to commit.

Ridge: Well, it’s gonna be a day like that. Okay. No, I am committed. I even helped you with the menu.

Thomas: Mac and cheese?

Ridge: Yeah, mac and cheese. He gets it.

Thomas: Yeah. I love this. Seeing you guys like this together and enjoying each other’s company. And don’t worry, I’m not gonna go too far on this. I’m not gonna try and play matchmaker again.

Ridge: That’s– that’s a good idea because she’s in the committed relationship already.

Thomas: Really? With who?

Ridge: Brooke.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Okay. All right. You guys both know that brooke and I are friends and we’re very serious about it, okay? We even made an oath. Friendship first.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Thomas: Well, I, for one, think this whole friend’s first thing is great, but you’re not gonna like start calling her logan too, are you?

Taylor: What? I mean, she just started calling me doc, so. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh. No laughs at all. Okay, fine. You know what? I think it’s kinda funny. All right, fine. You know what? Brooke and i have a new understanding. You guys just need to accept that. It’s based on transparency and trust.

Thomas: That’s great. I mean, how– how do you feel about that, dad?

Ridge: I’m so happy. This– look, after years of being rivals, it’s just amazing that they found each other. I just didn’t think it through. I didn’t think I was gonna get tossed to the side like that.

Taylor: Oh, karma’s a bitch. Oh. [ Laughs ]

Ridge: Just I’m not the be all and the end all. Not now anyway.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

Thomas: Oh, that– it looks like him not the be all, end all, it’s– hell may have frozen over.

Ridge: Yeah. Well, that’s– few months you leave and come back and you find this. I don’t know.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, welcome home to friendship first. You know, this frees me up. It really does. Now, I get to just smother my grandkids with love and affection. I’m gonna be a grand-smother. See? You’re not laughing at that either. I’m gonna do the same thing with you and steffy. I’m gonna smother you, okay? Yep. I am. And I’m sure that brooke is gonna do the same thing with hope.

Hope: Mom, what are you talking about?

Brooke: I’m asking you a question and not an easy one at that.

[ Phone chimes ] Is that thomas?

Hope: What? No.

Brooke: Well, then who is it?

Hope: Mom, seriously?

Brooke: If it’s thomas–

Hope: It’s not thomas. But even if it was, we work together. I mean, we’re trying to resuscitate my line. That means long hours and needing to talk to each other.

Brooke: Honey, I’m well aware of that, but I get the feeling that the things that you were saying to me the other night had more to do about you than about me. Plus, when I walked in here just a bit ago, the way you and thomas were communicating just seemed–

Hope: Seemed like what?

Brooke: Oh, honey, come on. You admitted to me that you find thomas attractive. I’m your mother. There’s nothing you can’t say to me. So, are there feelings on your part for thomas?

Thomas: So, how exactly is this whole smothering steff and me thing gonna work?

Ridge: You know what, I’d like to hear that too because these are two grown people.

Taylor: Oh, okay. Okay, okay. I know that smothering sounds a little intense and look, I know that– that you and steffy are adults and you have children of your own, but I have– I have some time to make up for.

Thomas: Time to make up for you being away? That wasn’t your fault.

Taylor: I know, but you know, I’ve been gone since then too. My work in africa–

Ridge: Your extremely important work in africa.

Thomas: Dad’s right. Look, you didn’t just frivolously travel around the globe. You were over there doing incredible work, helping save people’s lives. That’s something that steffy and I will always be proud of you for.

Taylor: Thank you, thomas. I love you.

Thomas: I love you too. I mean, you’re such an accomplished person. You– you really– you’re really incredible, honestly and– and I think all of us just respect you so much.

Ridge: Plus, you are easy on the eyes, so.

Taylor: Oh, god.

Ridge: What?

Thomas: Well, you are– you’re– you’re beautiful.

Ridge: See?

Thomas: Not just on the outside, on the inside too. And honestly, mom, you truly are an inspiration.

Taylor: Thank you. Are you trying to make me cry right now because I–

Thomas: Sorry.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Thomas: But I am kind of, ’cause I have one more thing to say. Um, you were talking about how– how you maybe weren’t always around, but we never– we never doubted your love for us. We always knew what you were doing was really important.

Thomas: And so I just, I need you to remember that we always have and will love and appreciate you.

Ridge: Well, they’re not the only ones that appreciate you. I know who you are. I see you. You were there when these guys were kids and they needed you. They needed a mom, they needed love. Needed a house. You were there when I was nowhere to be found and for that, I will always respect and admire you every minute of every day.

Brooke: You can trust me, honey. If anybody understands getting drawn into the bad boy, the inappropriate man, it would be me.

Hope: Why do you think that is?

Brooke: Why did I do it over and over again, you mean?

Hope: I mean, I’m curious. I’d like to know. I mean, I know things can get complicated, but if you knew you were playing with fire–

Brooke: How could I not get burned, right?

Hope: Exactly. I mean, why risk so much for men that you knew were all wrong for you?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: I’ve been asking myself that for years. Maybe I felt that I just needed more excitement in my life. Or maybe I was just self-sabotaging, which happened a lot. But you, honey, you are in an incredible marriage with a wonderful man.

Hope: I know.

Brooke: And liam is everything you’ve always wanted.

Hope: I know that too.

Brooke: So now, you’re telling me at this point in your marriage, you might possibly be having feelings for thomas?

Hope: What? I never said that.

Brooke: I know, I’m just trying to figure this out. You and I used to be able to talk about everything, but now, every time I bring up thomas, this is how you act. Honey, I just want you to know that I am here for you.

Hope: Mom, I know you always have my best interest at heart.

Brooke: Yes. Always.

Hope: Okay. So just believe me when I tell you that I do not have feelings for thomas, at least not in the way that you’re implying. Do I care about thomas? Yes, of course. He is douglas’s father and he’s an important part of my son’s life.

Brooke: And yours? (Vo) red lobster presents fun dining:

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

Thomas: You know, we actually don’t tell you often enough what– what a great mother and grandmother you have always been. And I– I think we should do it more often. Right, dad?

Ridge: Yes. I got it. Taylor hayes appreciation day. All right. We just pamper her once a month.

Thomas: Great idea.

Taylor: You know what, I am– I am totally, totally down for that, but somebody has already beaten you to the pampering.

Thomas: Who?

Taylor: Kelly. She wanted to make something special for her grandma. So, she made me this.

Ridge: Oh, kelly gave you that. I thought you and brooke had matching bracelets.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Thomas: Okay. That can get a little weird. You– you– you two can have matching bracelets, but please don’t match her giggle ’cause that might get weird.

Taylor: Okay. Well, you know, forget about the giggle. I’m– I’m working on the jiggle. It’s never gonna happen though, ’cause–

Thomas: My mother.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Taylor: You know what? I have a new appreciation for brooke. I really do. You know, even that she was there for you and your sisters in any capacity when I was gone.

Thomas: Okay. But you– we– we were never offended when you were gone. I mean, like, you– having you back, that’s what’s most important. You’re– you’re the family’s moral compass. You know, you’re our heart.

Ridge: You know, he is right. This family’s not the same when you’re not here. So, when you came back, just lifted everybody’s spirits.

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you. I’m– I’m glad to be here. I’m– I’m so happy. I– I– I get to see steffy thriving with her family and– and you and douglas are close again and that makes me so happy. And, you know, I– I get to be here with my– with my best friend.

Ridge: Me? Your best friend?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: You can’t have more than one. You have a bff already. You got brooke.

Taylor: Okay. My other best friend.

Ridge: Oh, well, okay. My best friend or not, I’M… I’m glad you’re here where you belong.

Brooke: I don’t mean to make you defensive.

Hope: I’m not.

Brooke: Are you sure?

Hope: Yes.

Brooke: Okay. It’s just the other night, the way you were talking to me and looking at me wasn’t like you, hope. And I don’t mean to blame you or make you feel bad or anything. I’m just concerned about you and liam and your precious little family. Look, I know there’s been a lot of stress going on lately. Everything with sheila, and your line having some problems. And I know it’s not just merely a job to you. You put your whole self into your line and you wanna make an impact on the world. And for that, I– I’m so amazed. I– I’m in awe of you. Really, sweetie. And I can understand why you wanna work with thomas. He’s great at what he does. He’s very talented. It’s just thinking of you guys working together all day and then sometimes into the night, I know it’s putting a bit of a strain on liam and I don’t want it to hurt your relationship.

Hope: Mom, we’re working through things. And like I– I told you, I mean, we had a beautiful night together the other night.

Brooke: Yeah. Until you came up to my house and gave me a piece of your mind.

Hope: Mom, I appreciate your concern, but really you have nothing to worry about. But thomas and me, we just– we share the same passion for my line and– and the same vision for hope for the future. I mean, that is what our relationship is. It’s about work. That is all. The abcs of ckd

Taylor: Okay. Okay. Enough about me. All right. I’m gonna tell you a little secret. I– I love compliments, but I also hate them. Hope that helps.

Thomas: Okay. You don’t have to get embarrassed. All right? You deserve all the praise.

Ridge: And more.

Taylor: Oh, thank you, thank you, but can we focus on this guy? Can we focus on our kid and– and all the work that he’s doing? All the work that you continue to do. Thomas, I– I feel the changes in you.

Ridge: I feel them too. Very proud of you, son.

Thomas: Okay. Now, it’s time for me to be embarrassed. Um, no, honestly, like, your love and your support from both of you, that’s– it means the world to me because there’s a time where I was exiled from the family, from the company, and– and that was the most excruciating time in my life. And now, I get to be in my son’s life again and I get to be around you guys and I get to come to work and– and design, my passion. And– and the designs, honestly, they keep pouring out. Actually, this morning, I– I woke up at dawn and I made this one right here. I was actually, I was– I was gonna surprise hope with it. What do you think?

Ridge: What do I think? I– I think you’re brimming with talent.

Taylor: Ah, gosh, thomas. It’s– it’s– it’s beautiful.

Thomas: That’s good. That’s good. Thank you. My focus right now is just doing the best I can for hope for the future and, you know, winning back hope’s trust and her respect obviously. We– we do a great job working together and we’re also a great co-parents. I’m just glad that our relationship’s finally in a better place.

Hope: I don’t know what else I can say to convince you. I mean, is it because you think I’m projecting or whatever? Look, mom, I said a lot of hurtful things that were uncalled for and– and I do apologize.

Brooke: I appreciate you saying that, honey. Yes, some of those things were very hurtful. Not that I haven’t admitted the mistakes I’ve made in my life, especially with men, but that is why I appreciate you so much. The way you conduct your life, your morals, your principles, your commitment to liam. You don’t do anything scandalous. You’re never in the tabloids. You don’t sabotage your marriage by following your own deep inner desires. I just worry, honey, that’s all. I know that working with thomas has caused a bit of a strain in your marriage and I don’t wanna see anything happen between you, liam, and your kids.

Hope: Mom, I won’t let that happen. I love liam. I love my family and– I mean, we’ve overcome so many obstacles, so many challenges to get to where we are. I will not let anyone derail that. Okay, mom? I– I won’t allow it.

Brooke: Okay. Yeah. I’m glad to hear that.

Hope: Yeah.

Brooke: I love you so much.

Hope: I love you. I’m sorry.

Ridge: Turn for me, please.

Thomas: What’s that look?

Zende: You don’t like it?

Ridge: I do like it a lot. Comfortable?

Sloane: And fun.

Thomas: It’s boho chic.

Zende: This style really speaks to me.

Thomas: Shows in your work.

Zende: Your design. I just included your notes.

Thomas: Take credit where it’s due, all right? This is a team sport.

Ridge: Quite a departure from the last collection.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, I thought it would be really cool to take one of the old designs and update it. Very poetic, you know. And also show the public we’re a force to be reckoned with. Hey.

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: You like?

Hope: It’s–

Zende: I think you took her breath away.

Liam: The marketing proposal, can you have that for me like tomorrow, end of day?

Wyatt: I can do one better. How about by noon?

Liam: Also, we have to talk about that cover before we meet with dad.

Wyatt: Oh, he came roaring back, didn’t he?

Liam: Well, ever since sheila went bye bye.

Wyatt: Right. I’m sure the same thing is going on for ridge. Missed all those months of work, right? Oh, you guys had that dinner last night? The family dinner? You and the kids and hope, brooke, ridge. Is he as amped to be back?

Liam: I– I wouldn’t know. Um, change of plans. Hope and i spent the evening alone, so.

Wyatt: Oh.

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: Oh, really?

Liam: Okay. Don’t– don’t do that.

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: That’s weird, wyatt. That’s–

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: Can you– can you– wyatt, why are you–

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: Okay, we’re in a restaurant. Please stop.

Wyatt: Am I right?

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: Yeah?

Brooke: Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get advances. Yes. Very exciting. And thank you for your enthusiasm.

Taylor: Hello.

Brooke: Hi. Ever since we announced that thomas is coming back as lead designer for hope for the future, we’ve had so much interest.

Taylor: Well, that makes sense to me. Our kids are a brilliant design team. The whole world knows it.

Brooke: I’m just so happy for hope. She’s so excited and she’s so energized.

Taylor: Yeah. Thomas feels the same way really, you know? God, there are so many things to celebrate right now. You know, I’ve been, um– I’ve been curious how your family dinner went last night with ridge.

Brooke: Oh, um… about that.

Taylor: What happened?

Brooke: Liam and hope and the kids, they couldn’t make it.

Taylor: Oh, okay. I’m sorry. So, you had to reschedule?

Brooke: No.

Taylor: No? So, you and ridge had dinner alone?

Taylor: But it was supposed to be a family dinner, really, right?

Brooke: Right.

Taylor: Right.

Brooke: Yeah. I mean, that was the plan. It’s just that at the last minute, hope came in and she told me she decided to spend some time alone with liam instead, and then she arranged these sleepovers for the kids, so.

Taylor: Okay. And so it was– it was just you and old ridgey?

Brooke: Yep. It was.

Taylor: Hmm.

Liam: Yeah, man. I came home to this uber romantic setting, courtesy of my beautiful wife.

Wyatt: Nice. Nice.

Liam: The kids were already at play dates, so.

Wyatt: Place all to yourselves. Judging by that stupid grin on your face, you made the most of it.

Liam: Did indeed. And oh, my god, did we need that.

Wyatt: Yeah. Good.

Liam: Yeah.

Thomas: I think I wanna bring this in just a tad. Make it a little bit more body conscious.

Zende: It’s subtle, but it does the trick.

Sloane: You really are an amazing designer.

Thomas: Thank you.

Sloane: I’d love to hear how you got that way. Maybe you’ll let me buy you a drink some night soon?

Thomas: Ah, well, I think that could be arranged. All right, well, we’re good. Here. I’ll– I’ll give you a call.

Sloane: I’ll be waiting.

Ridge: Oh, boy. To be young again, huh? Have fun, but–

Thomas: Be respectful and be smart. I remember.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: Okay.

Ridge: I was concerned about hope for the future, but you guys are pulling it off. I’m impressed.

Zende: It’s so good to have you back. No one gets hope for the future like you do. Am I right?

Hope: He certainly does.

Brooke: Nothing happened. It was just dinner with ridge.

Taylor: God, I cannot believe this, brooke. You cooked?

Brooke: What? God, no. No, I– I didn’t cook. I ordered out from il giardino.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: This is nice to spend some time with ridge.

Taylor: I’m really glad that you can be transparent with me about everything, especially when it comes to ridge. Thank you. God, we’ve come such a long way, haven’t we?

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: I trust you.

Brooke: I trust you.

Taylor: Good.

Brooke: Look, you have to know this. I take our vow very seriously. Men, they can come and go, but girlfriends, they last forever.

Taylor: Come here.

Wyatt: Thanks. So hold on. Let me– let me get this straight. Thomas caught hope as she fell off a riser in the design office?

Liam: I swear to god, wyatt, if you had seen what I walked in on.

Wyatt: Oh, I would’ve done a lot more than shove him, that’s for sure.

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: So– so you and hope, what, cleared things up last night then or no?

Liam: You know what, it was nice. It was really nice to just kinda like table thomas and– and focus on each other. Here’s the– here’s the thing. I know that hope and I are never going to agree on thomas because I look at him and I don’t see a better man. I see a better liar. I see an algorithm that is just learning with every failed manipulation.

Wyatt: So, did you tell hope though? Does she know how you feel about this?

Liam: Of course, she knows.

Wyatt: Okay. Then, unfortunately, you have to trust her. I mean, if she says one more move and thomas is out, then you have to believe that. You have to believe that she’s gonna handle it.

Liam: I mean, I know. I know. I– and– and the problem is I trust hope and I don’t trust thomas.

Wyatt: Right.

Liam: But you know what? It’s nights like last night that make me feel better because she made an effort. She showed up. She– she acknowledged my point of view. She thanked me for my– my– my patience. I mean, it was just– it was– it was really nice. And it– and it– it gives me certainty that thomas isn’t gonna interfere in our marriage.

Thomas: Have you, uh, heard from chief baker?

Ridge: Yeah. No, I talked to him earlier. Sheila still recovering from her heart attack and yeah, she’s gonna end up behind bars.

Zende: I am still blown away that you and bill were able to pull this off.

Thomas: Yeah. Teamwork makes the dream work. We know a lot about that, don’t we?

Hope: Absolutely.

Zende: We sure do.

Ridge: You know what’s nice? Being excited about a line again. Hope for the future, I think, is gonna be better than ever. And hope, I know you had some reservations about rehiring thomas. I think you made the right choice. A strong choice makes you the leader that you are, doing what’s right for the company. You guys make a good team. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Liam: Not to uh, overshare, but hope and I, we have not uh, connected like that in a long time.

Wyatt: I mean, you need that. I’m happy for you guys.

Liam: Yeah, I mean–

Wyatt: What?

Liam: Just– no, nothing. It’s not– there were like a couple of moments where she seemed a little off, I guess.

Wyatt: What do you mean?

Liam: No, she’s not– it wasn’t– I’m overplaying it. It wasn’t– she wasn’t off. She was just like– she would– oh, my god. And then, when it was over, she like got dressed like really, really fast and said she had to go see her mom.

Wyatt: Really? That’s odd.

Liam: Yeah, it was. It was super abrupt and weird. And I don’t know, it kind of freaked me out a little bit. So, I went up to the main house after she did, and I don’t know what she and brooke were talking about, but– but by the time I got there, it was– it was tense. Like hope was tense.

Thomas: So, what do you think?

Hope: It reminds me of, I don’t know, a different time when things were less complicated? I mean, it feels relaxed, comfortable.

Thomas: Yeah. Unstructured, but sensual. You know, that’s what this line’s all about.

Hope: Exactly. I mean, I’ve always been drawn to that sort of style. The– I don’t know, hippie-esque, flowy, ’60s vibe.

Thomas: Yeah. ’60s for sure. ’70s a little bit as well. I mean the– the hippie fashions and the boho were very similar in a lot of ways, but they’re also different. I mean, you know, boho is a little bit more– a little bit more romantic, right? I mean, the boho designs sort of incorporate the fringe and the– the flare, all those kind of things, right? I mean, it’s– it’s– it’s really impressive and cool how you see the– the– the designs expand over time and– and– and that sort of boho get a little bit more artistic and– and kind of complicated in a lot of ways and this is a lot of information you already know and I don’t need to tell you ’cause it’s boring you to death.

Hope: No, not boring. Not boring at all. It’s just– it’s nice to see you so passionate.

[ Thomas chuckles ]

Brooke: So did chief baker call you?

Taylor: He did. He told me that sheila was recovering from her heart attack in the prison hospital and that we don’t have to worry about her anymore. We don’t have to worry about her coming after any of us.

Brooke: Still blows me away actually, that we thought ridge was out there traveling around trying to find himself, and he was right here in town trying to help trap sheila.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. You know, keeping us safe and most importantly, keeping the futures of our grandchildren safe and secure, which is amazing.

Brooke: He truly is a hero. I– I don’t even know how we can begin to thank him.

Ridge: Well, you’re off to a pretty good start, but don’t let me stop you.

Brooke: Hey, you.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: So, how long have you been standing there?

Ridge: Oh, long enough.

Taylor: Okay. So, did you hear me and brooke talking about your– your dinner last night?

Ridge: Maybe, it wasn’t there long enough. No, I missed that.

Taylor: Oh, god. You missed the juicy part. I’m glad you had fun.

Ridge: Yeah, it was– it– it was wonderful.

Brooke: Yeah, it was. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Taylor: So, does it surprise you that brooke and i are friends?

Ridge: Honestly, it’s– it’s gonna take some getting used to.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Well, it was like that for us too. It was strange, but in a really good way.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. Yeah, it was. I mean, things are… things are really different now and I’m glad that the two of you had a good time last night. Alone even.

Brooke: Yep. Mm.

Taylor: Yeah. See, in the past I would’ve thought that– that brooke had that whole thing planned out.

Brooke: And nine times out of ten, you would’ve been right.

Taylor: I know.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Taylor: But not anymore. Gone are the days when brooke comes downstairs in a sexy nighty to lure you, you know? You okay?

Brooke: Yeah. I’m sorry.

Taylor: We trust each other now.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We do.

Ridge: Yeah. I always wanted you guys to get along and I– I’m realizing that I– I made that very challenging, but you guys found a way to rise above it and um, I admire you for it.

Brooke: Aw. We weren’t sure how you’d feel about this alliance.

Ridge: Hey, I’m behind whatever this is.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: A hundred percent. It means our families aren’t fighting anymore.

Taylor: That’s right. Our kids aren’t gonna have to choose sides anymore.

Brooke: They can make their own decisions. What’s best for them. What they need.

Ridge: Absolutely. I– I saw hope and thomas over there and they were– they weren’t fighting there. There was– there was no weird energy. It was just creativity and they’re gonna come up with a really, really good line. Proud of thomas. He’s working hard and I’m– I’m proud of hope too. She’s giving him another shot.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Okay. Well, I think I have to go talk to hope.

Taylor: Is everything okay?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: See you later.

Taylor: Bye.

Ridge: You’re not gonna hug it out? It’s another– okay.

Taylor: I know. Maybe, um, I think we’re up next. Family dinner.

Ridge: I would like that.

Taylor: Yeah, me too. And if thomas and steffy and finn and kelly and hayes can’t show up, then well, I’m just gonna cancel, so. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. We’ll be fine.

Ridge: I think so.

Liam: Thank you very much.

Waiter: No problem.

Wyatt: Um, so you didn’t overhear anything? You have no idea what they were talking about?

Liam: No, I have no idea. All I know is that it was something in the air, man. I mean, hope– hope loves her mother more than anything, but she’s made a very particular effort to live a different life from brooke and I think that there’s a small part of hope that just doesn’t wanna turn into her mother maybe? Or, I don’t know.

Thomas: This is zende’s latest design. I think he’s doing some pretty great work.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, yes. I mean, he just needed a little guidance and you know the line so well and exactly what will speak to me. Hell, even better than I know sometimes. I mean, your designs have been inspired.

Thomas: You can say that again. I have felt very inspired lately. Inspired in a lot of different ways. Inspired to be a– a better man, you know. I wanna be the best person I possibly can. The best father most importantly, but also the best brother and the best friend.

Hope: Well, you know, this– this whole gratitude thing goes both ways, right? I mean, you’ve been thanking me a lot for giving you a second chance, but really I should also be thanking you for giving my line another chance. And not just that, but also being a man of your word, actually doing the work. You have– you’ve– you’ve changed. Douglas has noticed it and I have too and I like what I’m seeing. Mom.

Brooke: Sorry to interrupt. I’d like to speak with hope alone, please.

Thomas: Sure, of course.

Hope: Is everything okay?

Brooke: Uh, well, just would like to catch up on our conversation we had the other night. Some of the things that were said. How you don’t want to be like me and fall for the wrong man, the bad boy. But hope, I have to ask since I just overheard some things… are you having feelings for thomas?
