Bill: You can’t let sheila go on a technicality!

Scott: Unlawful search and seizure is not a technicality, mr. Spencer. Trust me, I didn’t want to have to rule this way. My hands are tied. The law is clear.

Steffy: But what about all the other crimes she committed? She– she tried to kill finn and me. She shot my mother.

Scott: I can only rule on the case in front of me. And remember, unfortunately, you withdrew your statements and refused to testify. So, the state dropped all charges. Without any new evidence–

Carter: Your honor, you have to admit these are very special circumstances. Now, something has to be done–

Scott: This is not a matter of who’s presiding. Any other judge would rule the same. Believe me.E I am very sorry for all of you. I– I had no choice but to dismiss all charges… and set sheila carter free.

[ Sheila sobbing ]

Sheila: I just, I can’t believe I’ve been given another chance. I am free.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Rj: Nothing online yet? Nothing at all?

Brooke: No.

Rj: Any texts from dad? Or anything at all?

Brooke: No, but I’m sure that he’ll call us as soon as the hearing is over.

Rj: Yeah. You seem uncharacteristically kind of calm about all this.

Brooke: I don’t know, I just feel this profound sense of relief. I mean, sheila, whoo. We have lived in fear of her for so many years. She’s always threatened us. And even that time when she disappeared, we never knew when she might just pop up and try to destroy our lives all over again.

Rj: Yeah. Mom, I don’t think you’re gonna have to worry about that after today. Let’s hope.

Brooke: After that confession, and she is going to prison for the rest of her life. She’ll never get out of there.

Bailiff: Ms. Carter, I need to take you to process your release. You could come with me.

Sheila: Happily. You know, miracles, they– they do happen. I’m living proof of that. I believe a miracle could happen for us too, finn.

Steffy: This can’t be real.

Ridge: We’ll figure something out.

Steffy: How am I supposed to keep the children safe?

Ridge: Come here.

Steffy: Oh, finn! Where did you go?

Finn: I– I just had to check on something.

Steffy: A patient?

Finn: Yeah. Yeah. I, uh– a patient.

Steffy: I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe sheila’s been released.

Bill: Steffy, I am so sorry. We had her. I want you to file a complaint against that judge and get the decision reversed.

Carter: I’ll look into every possible option.

Steffy: This is terrifying. How is sheila free? (Sung) febreze!

Rj: [ Sighing ] I just, I can’t believe everything that bill did to get sheila to confess to murder.

Brooke: He had us convinced that he was in love with sheila.

Rj: Yeah.

Brooke: And sheila believed that he was in love with her. We– we thought that he was crazy.

Rj: So did I. I mean, it was worth it though, at the end of the day, right?

Brooke: Yeah, it was. Now, we never have to be threatened by sheila again. The thought of her bringing harm to our children, it was just– it’s debilitating at times.

Rj: You know, steffy must have had to deal with so much worry and stress throughout all this. I mean, she’s so protective of kelly and hayes, obviously, but hayes is sheila’s grandson. I mean, that’s family. That’s got to make the whole situation ten times worse for her, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Finn is a great guy, but his birth mother is sheila. That means she’s intimately tied to that family forever and that is, uh– that’s devastating.

Rj: Yeah. Steffy and finn are probably gonna be quite happy when this is all over.

Brooke: Oh!

Rj: I just got a great idea. What if, what if we threw a little bit of a celebration after the verdict?

Brooke: Oh.

Rj: Just a little bit of something?

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: We could do that.

Rj: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah, we could toast to the fact that– [ Gasps ] We never have to worry about sheila carter ever again.

Rj: Let’s cheers to that.

[ Brooke giggling ]

Brooke: Cheers.

[ Buzzer sounding ]

Guard: I’ll be right outside.

Mike: Sheila, wow. You’re a sight for sore eyes.

Sheila: I wanted to see you.

Mike: You look good. Surprising, actually, given that it was the first day of your trial. Oh, wait. Guess I don’t need to ask how it went because you’re back here way too fast.

Sheila: Surprising is, uh, a really good word to use.

Mike: Open and shut, huh? They throw the book at you? Sheila… I’m really sorry, but at least you’re not in it alone. There’s another prisoner stuck in this hellhole who’s thinking about you every night before his head hits that rock hard pillow.

Mike: What? What– I don’t get it. What’s going on?

Carter: I’ve already called in restraining orders.

Steffy: We need to increase our security immediately.

Ridge: I’m on it. Don’t worry.

Steffy: Okay, call– call abigail and tell her to– we’ll keep the kids inside because we know that sheila’s gonna go there first. She’s gonna target hayes. I– I can’t believe we’re back here.

Bill: I worked for months to get that confession. The things I had to do.

Carter: Look, I’m as outraged as all of you, but the judge is correct. Based on how the confession was obtained, it can’t be used in court.

Steffy: My god.

Carter: Without it, the case is closed.

Steffy: Yeah, finn and i didn’t testify, so the charges have been dropped. I’m gonna be sick. This is ridiculous.

Liam: Yeah, because it’s sickening. And everybody knows sheila’s a psychopath. Everybody knows anything she touches dies and we have to keep all our families safe from her. Right, finn? You agree with that, right? Even though she’s your birth mother, you agree?

Finn: Of course, I agree. The fact that sheila’s my birth mother means nothing. I’m just as upset as everyone that sheila’s been released.

(Wipe out by

the surfaris plays)

Mike: What– what are you smiling about? What, they give you 20 years instead of life?

Sheila: Oh, they gave me life. They gave me my life back, mike. My future, my freedom.

Mike: What are you talking about?

Sheila: They dismissed the charges.

Mike: You’re going free?

Sheila: Yes! It’s a miracle. They gave me a second chance. That’s– that’s why I’m here. I wanted to tell you goodbye.

Brooke: Tell me sheila is going away for the rest of her life. Part of me wishes I could have been there just to see her face. What’s wrong? You don’t seem happy.

Ridge: Oh, we’re not happy.

Bill: Things didn’t go as planned.

Brooke: What do you mean? Did she get a lighter sentence?

Carter: No.

Bill: She wasn’t sentenced at all.

Ridge: The judge threw out the case, dismissed all the charges. Sheila was free to go.

Rj: What?

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Steffy: Okay, abigail knows not to go anywhere without security, but honestly, I think that everyone should just stay near the home. The thought of sheila just out there, it terrifies me. Like she thinks she can do anything, if she thinks she could go and she could get hayes.

Finn: Okay, just take a breath, okay? We’re safe here. We have the best security you can have, okay? No one is getting in here.

Steffy: Oh, this day did not go as planned.

Finn: I know.

Steffy: It was such a relief. It was such a relief knowing that sheila was in jail. Like I haven’t even thought about her. And when she was out of jail, I just– no matter where I was, I was worried. I constantly had this anxiety wondering where she is, what she could do, if she’s gonna take hayes.

Finn: Steffy. She’s–

Steffy: Nothing is off limits to her. She will do whatever it takes.

Finn: Look, we are not gonna let anything happen to the kids.

Steffy: But what about you? She acts like she has some kind of, like, claim to you.

Finn: She doesn’T.

Steffy: No, no, she doesn’T. You’re right. We– we’re stronger than that. Okay? We are. No, we’re not gonna let her come anywhere near us. Okay. And our family. Promise me, finn. Promise me.

Wyatt: Hey, you’re back. That was quick. Okay, so tell me, how did it go?

[ Laughing ] Did she cry? No, that’s dumb. Sheila doesn’t know how to cry. But at least they dragged her out of there kicking and screaming, right? Tell me, tell me, tell me.

Liam: Uh, not quite.

Wyatt: Okay. So, what– what happened?

[ Clears throat ] And why aren’t you like ecstatic right now? We don’t have to deal with sheila carter ever again, right?

Liam: Yeah. Well, hm. Maybe, I– the charges were dropped. Sheila was released.

Wyatt: What do you– what do you mean released? Re– like released released?

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: No prison? No ankle bracelet? No– she’s just A… productive member of society again released?

Liam: Pretty much. Yeah. Uh, yep.

Wyatt: Why?

Liam: I don’t know. I– I don’t– I don’t know, but um… sheila carter is a free woman and now we all have to deal with it.

[]

Mike: You’re going free? How?

Sheila: Bill’s master plan, it wasn’t so masterful. I mean, he went about things the wrong way, mike.

Mike: What do you mean?

Sheila: The way that they got my confession was illegal. They can’t use my confession as evidence. No evidence, no case.

Mike: Wow. So, no more prison for me. No– no more dark damp cells.

Mike: Yeah.

Sheila: Hey. I’m sorry. I– I know everything that you did for me. I’ll never forget that. Thank you.

Mike: You know how I feel about you, sheila. That’s why I’m happy for you. Man, you always seem to land on your toes. All nine of them.

[ Sheila laughing ] So, you’re going free. What are you gonna do with the rest of your life?

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: I’ve been given a second chance and I’m not gonna waste it. I’m gonna be a real mother to finn, a real grandmother to hayes. I’m not going to let that go. They– they are my family. I’m going to build a relationship with them. Finn loves me. I mean, deep down. I just know it. He loves his mother.

Steffy: Yes. Yeah. If– if connor isn’t available, we just, um, we need someone who specializes in kidnapping. Our kids could be a target and sheila, she is extremely violent. She has access to guns, so we have to take everything into consideration. Okay, yes. Yeah, if we could set up an appointment as soon as possible. Thank you. How did the judge just let sheila walk? This is such an injustice.

Finn: Well, if bill’s plan wasn’t really legal.

Steffy: What are you saying? That sheila deserves to be free? Why– why are you acting so calm? You should be furious right now. She shot me, she shot you and she left us to die. Nothing is off limits to sheila. Why aren’t you upset?

Finn: I am. Of course I am.

Steffy: Sheila needs to stay far away from us and our family. Please tell me you understand that. Tell me you understand that, finn.

Wyatt: I– I don’t– I don’t understand. So– so, dad’s plan backfired because of an unlawful search and seizure?

Liam: I guess so.

Wyatt: That’s stupid. Like I don’t even– I don’t even know what to say to that.

Liam: Yeah. Well, guess what? That’s not even the biggest shocker of the day.

Wyatt: Great. Great. What– what now?

Liam: [ Grunts ] Okay, so, so… charges get dropped, right? Sheila’s released. She gets– she gets escorted out of the room and then, you know, suddenly everybody’s scrambling, right? I mean, they’re trying to, you know, reason with the judge and the whole scene is like pure chaos, but then I noticed that like finn gets up and– and leaves, which was weird because he was there with his wife, who was clearly upset, so you’d think he’d wanna stay with her and console her,

Wyatt: Right.

Liam: No, but he– he takes off and I didn’t know what was going on and so I– I followed him. He didn’t know that I was seeing any of this, but–

Wyatt: Well, what? What? What did you see?

Liam: Well, it turns out he went to see sheila and she hugs him. Right? Now, I’m expecting him to, you know, like, push her off of him and say, you know, “don’t touch me, don’t ever talk to me again.” No, he does the opposite. He just goes for it. He, like, hugs her right back.

Wyatt: What? Are you sure?

Liam: Yeah. No, I’m sure, I’m sure. He put– he put his arms around her and he just held her and it was like intense. Like it was a for like a long time. Like he did– it was as if he didn’t want to let go. And at first I was– I was struggling to process what I was even seeing.

Wyatt: I don’t– I don’t– why would finn want anything to do with that woman after everything that she’s done?

Liam: I don’t know. But this is bad and I’m gonna find out why.

Steffy: Promise me, finn. Promise me you will never have any contact with sheila.

Finn: I promise.

Wyatt: So, finn hugged sheila back. Why?

Liam: I don’t know. I don’t– I don’t know. I mean, that’s not the finn I know. But if he is getting cozy with sheila now, well, that means he’s unable to protect steffy and hayes and kelly. And in that case… well, that’s my job now.

Finn: It’s just, this is crazy. This is– this is actually happening. So much has been going on, you know? With your trip to rome and losing our nanny. Not to mention hope drawing up divorce papers and liam signing ’em.

Steffy: Let’s try to keep that quiet. I don’t know who knows about it.

Finn: Okay, well, it shouldn’t be long now.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Nervous?

Steffy: I was hoping to never lay eyes on her, but… it is worth it if she is sentenced to prison for the rest of her life. How’re you doing?

Finn: I’m anxious as anyone to see sheila pay for what she’s done.

Steffy: Yeah, but she’s still– she’s your birth mother, so…

[ Phone chimes ]

Finn: No, that doesn’t make a difference.

Steffy: Oh, babe, I gotta respond to this.

Finn: Okay.

Brooke: Well, that about covers it.

[ Eric chuckling ]

Eric: This is fantastic. You know, hope for the future has exceeded all of our expectations. And– and we’re gonna surpass quarterly projections, everything. It’s fantastic.

[ Chuckling ] Hope and thomas are quite a team. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

Brooke: Thanks for having this meeting over breakfast. I think it was a good distraction.

Eric: Exactly what we needed, isn’t it?

Brooke: Yes.

Eric: Yeah. Sheila’s trial starting today?

Brooke: Gonna be a relief when it’s finally over.

Eric: You’re not gonna go today?

Brooke: Oh, gosh, no. I don’t wanna see her face. Not after everything she’s done to us and to our families. Ridge told me he would let me know when he’s sentenced to prison.

Deacon: Hey, is something going on with sheila? I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but overhear.

Brooke: Oh! Uh… well, her trial starts today. Finally, she will be out of our lives once and for all.

Deacon: So today’s the day, huh?

Brooke: Yes. I don’t wanna think about sheila carter ever again.

Eric: She’s terrorized our families long enough.

Brooke: She has. And maybe i should try to find forgiveness, at least for my sake, but… I can’T.

Deacon: I– I understand. You want justice.

Brooke: Yeah, some kind of justice. For whatever that’s worth. She could spend thousands of years in prison and still not make up for all the pain and fear that she’s caused.

Eric: Well, that ends today. Thank god.

Brooke: We can all take solace in the fact that she’s going to prison, and we don’t have to worry about her ever again.

Ridge: Hey.

Steffy: Hi.

Ridge: Sorry we’re late. A little bit of traffic.

Steffy: Oh, it’s– it’s fine. They haven’t started yet. Bill, you’re back from stella maris.

Bill: Wouldn’t miss this for anything.

Steffy: [ Sighs ] Carter, how we lookin’?

Bill: “How we lookin’?” Sheila confessed!

Carter: I know the judge. He’s tough. I can’t imagine him showing any leniency.

Ridge: How you holding up? Where’s finn?

Steffy: I’m doing as well as I can. Finn’s out, he’s taking a phone call. He’ll be right back. I just want this to be over.

Finn: Thanks for the update. I’m– I’m gonna be unavailable for the next little while, so just call dr. Casey if anything changes with his condition. Okay, thanks. I’ll be in touch this afternoon. All right, bye. Liam!

Liam: Hey!

Finn: [ Scoffs ] What are you doing here? Hey, it’s me…your skin.

Finn: Why are you here, liam?

Liam: Wh– why am I here? I mean, uh… [ Chuckles ] To show my support, really.

Finn: Oh. Support for– uh, for steffy? My wife?

Liam: Yeah, yeah. But, you know, well, kelly, my dad, and everyone.

Finn: Okay, look, I– I feel for you, okay? I wouldn’t wish what you’re going through with hope on anyone. No one wants to see a marriage come to an end, especially when children are involved. But if you think that steffy is just gonna–

Liam: Wait, wait, wait. So, wait, I’m sorry. What– I don’t really understand what’s happening here. What did– where is this coming from?

Finn: You just need to know that I’m not gonna tolerate anything inappropriate. I’m not naive, okay? I know you two have a history, and that’s exactly what it’s gonna continue to be.

Liam: Uh… you– o– yeah. Duly noted. Can I go in now?

Finn: This is a family affair. This concerns steffy and my mother–

Liam: Okay, finn, listen, I don’t wanna upset you, but kelly is a part of that family. My daughter lives under your roof, so obviously I have a vested interest in what goes on in there. I wanna see with my own eyes that, yes, steffy, but kelly, my dad, all of us, are– are never threatened by sheila again.

Brooke: Still gives me chills to think that steffy and finn were shot right here in the back alley.

Eric: Oh, thank god, they both survived.

Brooke: Yeah. If you didn’t find them in time, deacon, I hate to think what could’ve happened.

Eric: No matter how much we love kelly and hayes… that could never replace their parents in their lives.

Brooke: I still just can’t wrap my head around it. How sheila could do that. How could she shoot her own son? I mean, where is the maternal love? Where’s the maternal feelings?

Eric: She’s a sociopath. They have no feelings.

Deacon: Well, from what I understand, she didn’t mean to shoot finn, right? He got shot protecting steffy.

Brooke: Yeah, but she still did. And then she shot steffy point blank and left them there to die.

Eric: And that was monstrous.

Brooke: It’s barbaric. But that’s not the first time she tried to kill.

Eric: No, but this is the first one she’s admitted to.

Brooke: Yeah. Hopefully that puts her away for the rest of her life.

Deacon: It just makes you wonder, though. I mean, if she’s– if she’s really that crazy, is prison the right place for her? I– maybe– maybe, you know, she needs to be somewhere where she can get some help.

Brooke: Deacon! She is beyond help.

Eric: For the first time in my life, I– I have to agree with that. I think prison, behind bars for the rest of her life, is where she belongs.

[ Hushed, indistinct chatter ]

Steffy: Liam, what– what are you doing here?

Finn: Huh. Funny, I had the same question.

Liam: Uh, well, moral support, like I told finn. But also, I just wanna see sheila sentenced. I mean, I’d like confirmation that none of us are gonna be terrorized by a psychopath ever again.

Bill: We all wanna close this chapter.

[ Door opens ] Where are you going?

Eric: This– this trial should’ve started by now, shouldn’t it?

Brooke: [ Sighs ] Ridge was gonna keep me updated, but I haven’t heard anything from him yet.

Eric: Yeah. It’s a big day for ridge. And for bill both. They accomplished a great deal. This should give them a great deal of satisfaction.

Brooke: And deacon helped too. I mean, you bought enough time for ridge and bill to catch up to her.

Eric: That must have been hard.

Deacon: Yeah. No, it was.

Brooke: It was very dangerous. You put yourself at significant risk.

Deacon: I never felt unsafe. Look, I– I just had to keep her there. I really didn’t do much. Ridge and bill, they did the heavy lifting.

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: [ Scoffs ] Especially bill. He had to convince her that he was in love with her and that he wanted a life with her.

Eric: But he did it. He finally got a confession to murder.

Brooke: Which was amazing in itself.

Deacon: I guess it just goes to show that even someone like sheila needs love.

Brooke: Bill had to alienate everybody. And I remember katie was so terrified that he had given up on everything that he believed in. I mean, we were all very concerned.

Eric: I can’t imagine everything he had to go through to do this. But he did. He got her to confess to murder one.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. And ridge was there the whole time with him, helping him! We didn’t even know. And he rigged the house, bill’s house. They both did that.

Eric: Well, they got it done. They got her to confess to murder one.

Brooke: Thank god! We don’t even have to think about her. She’s gonna be locked away in prison. We don’t have to care about her, love her. Nobody’s gonna give a single thought.

Eric: But finn is a good, caring person. This is gonna have a very deep effect on him, to see his mother sentenced for murder.

Steffy: [ Whispering ] Stop making eye contact with her. She’s just trying to get you to feel sorry for her.

Bill: She may try to plea to a lesser charge.

Liam: Would the D.A. Even go for something like that?

Carter: They have the confession, but we’ll find out soon enough.

Bailiff: All to order. The honorable evan scott presiding.

Scott: Thank you. And thank you all for coming today to this special session here in my chambers. As you know, we are here to discuss the charges against ms. Sheila carter. Counsel has opted to do this here in chambers to expedite the legal process. The charges are: Murder in the first, which could result in lifetime imprisonment.

Sheila: I’m gonna spend the rest of my life in prison.

Herman: Stay positive.

[ Clears throat ] Your honor, if I could just–

Scott: Mr. Herman, please sit down. Before we begin, I have something I need to address to everyone present.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Deacon: Are you sure I can’t get you anything else?

Eric: No, thanks, deacon, I’m very satisfied.

Brooke: Oh, me too. And not just for the food.

[ Sighs ] I’m just so relieved that sheila is finally going to get everything that she deserves.

Scott: Most of you gathered here in this chamber today have been greatly harmed by sheila carter. Her past speaks for itself. She has admitted to heinous crimes, and she should pay the price. Mr. Spencer and mr. Forrester, I have to commend you for going above and beyond, for protecting your family. I am well aware of the history ms. Carter has with the forrester family. She has terrorized you for years, and it’s understandable that you wanna see her behind bars. Dr. Finnegan, I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you, to see your mother in handcuffs, and I sympathize with you and your family for the pain she has caused you as well. This is a day you’ve all been waiting for, to see sheila carter finally brought to justice. Which is why it pains me greatly to tell you what I have to say. Unfortunately, after examining the facts of the case, I have no choice but to determine that there is no legal footing. The evidence allegedly tying ms. Carter to murder in the first degree was obtained through unlawful search and seizure.

Bill: What?

Scott: And while I have been very clear that– that mr. Spencer has a pursuit of justice and determination to protect his family and the public, his use of personal connections to federal investigators was murky. It was a glorified fishing expedition for a confession, not knowing exactly what crimes may have been committed prior to the defense’s admission. Furthermore, the means of surveillance? Not legal. Therefore, the defense’s motion to suppress the evidence… is granted. And without further evidence, the charges against ms. Carter for murder in the first degree relies solely on hearsay and speculation, and are therefore dropped.

Steffy: Wha– no! No, no, no, this can’t be happening! She– she tried to kill me, she tried to kill her own son! Please!

Scott: Ms. Finnegan, please. I hear your frustration and your outrage, and I assure you, I share it. If anybody deserves to be behind bars, it’s sheila carter. However, I am familiar with the prior case, and due to the fact that you and dr. Finnegan withdrew your statements and refused to testify, the state dropped its charges. So, unless there is any new evidence in that case… no? I’m sorry. I have no recourse but to pronounce the case against ms. Carter officially dismissed and order her immediate release.

Ridge: You can’t do this! Carter!

Bill: After everything I went through, you’re gonna let this nut walk on a technicality?

Steffy: You have to consider my children! How am I supposed to keep them safe?

Carter: Your honor, as the injured party’s attorney, I motion to file for an appeal.

Scott: Yes, of course. But, counselor, you know you’re wasting your time.

Sheila: Are you… are you saying that I’m free to go?

Scott: Yes, ms. Carter, you are free. But trust me, if I see you in my courtroom again, I doubt you’ll be so lucky.

Sheila: Oh, thank you.

Steffy: Oh, no. No! You have no idea what you’ve done. Dad, what are we gonna do? What are we–

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Steffy: Oh, my gosh.

Ridge: It’s okay.

Steffy: How– how did this happen?

Sheila: I really am free?

Russell: Yes. You are free.

[ Both laughing ] I have some paperwork to finish up, so you stay right here. I’ll be right back, okay?

Sheila: Yeah. Okay.

Russell: Thank you.

Sheila: [ Excited gasp ] Oh, finn! Finn, I– I– I can’t even– I can’t even imagine. I– I never– I never imagined being free. I– I’ve been given the greatest gift. I’ve been given a second chance. Thank god! Thank– thank god. My son! Thank god!

[ Relaxing music ]

Guard: I’ll be right outside if you need me, doc.

Finn: Okay.

Sheila: Oh, thank you… for– for coming. It’s really nice to see you.

Finn: Well, my office called and said you requested to see me for your pre-trial exam.

Sheila: I always want to see you.

Finn: Well, I shouldn’t be here.

Sheila: But you are here. My handsome son.

Steffy: This seat taken?

Liam: H– hi. Yeah, um, no. It is– well, it is now. That’S… I did not expect to see you today.

Steffy: I was in the neighborhood. So, how are things going with you and hope?

[ Hope sighing ]

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Wow.

[ Hope chuckling ] Now, I don’t recall getting an email about an exclusive for eye on fashion, so…

Wyatt: Well, it’s nice to see you too, hope. I am not here on business. I am here as a concerned brother and concerned brother-in-law, and to be honest with you, I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s going on between you and liam.

Finn: This shouldn’t take too long.

Sheila: Well, take all the time you want. I’ve got no place I need to be.

Finn: Have you had any residual symptoms from your cardiac episode?

Sheila: No. I get paranoid every time my heart starts racing, but I– that could be caused by stress.

Finn: Possibly.

Sheila: I can’t– I can’t imagine, really, what I have to be stressed about. Oh. Could be that I’m locked up in a prison cell.

Finn: You know exactly why you’re in here.

Sheila: I do. I also know that I should be dead right now. You could have let me die, finn, but you didn’T. You saved your mother’s life.

Hope: All right, did you come here to read me the riot act?

[ Wyatt chuckling ]

Wyatt: Come on. You know me better than that.

Hope: Oh, oh, okay. So, you haven’t talked to your brother.

Wyatt: No. I– I know what happened in rome. I promise, I– I’m just here to talk, okay? I– I want to see where your head’s at.

[ Wyatt sighing ]

Hope: Okay.

Wyatt: What are you doing?

Steffy: Thank you. I don’t mean to pry, I’m just, I’m concerned.

Liam: You’re not prying. You– you care and I appreciate it.

Steffy: I’m guessing by your mood, you two haven’t resolved anything.

Liam: Well, she had divorce papers drawn up, so… no.

Steffy: What? Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Finn: I’m a doctor. I took an oath not to harm, all right? I treated you as I would any other patient, not because you’re my birth mother.

Sheila: That doesn’t change the fact that you did save me. And I– I’m gonna be forever thankful. I’m never gonna forget that, finn. You know, with my trial coming closer, it’s times like these, memories that I have with you, it really helps me sleep at night, you know. It lets me forget for even a moment that I may never be a free woman again.

Hope: Uh, yes. I did kiss thomas in rome and I will tell you exactly what I told liam and that’s that I honestly don’t know what I was thinking.

Wyatt: Okay.

Hope: But, the more that I have thought about it, the more I think I have come to understand that maybe this needed to happen.

Wyatt: Why?

Hope: Steffy.

Wyatt: Steffy?

Hope: Yes.

Wyatt: What does steffy have to do with this?

Hope: Well, wyatt, you know your brother has feelings for her. You’ve seen the endless cycle for yourself and frankly, wyatt, after how many years, I’m tired and I have tried to move past it, but when liam didn’t afford me that same grace, when he hasn’t been fully committed to the marriage himself, that just…

Wyatt: Where– where are you getting all this though, hm? Because you know liam and steffy have been over for a long time now.

Hope: Like that ever really stopped someone? You know, sometimes feelings, they don’t go away. I mean, look at my life, for example. My mother and ridge and taylor and that endless merry-go-round and the back and forth and wyatt, I vowed that I never wanted to do that to my family. So, I won’T.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Divorce? So hope thinks that the reason for her marriage problems is because of our past together? No, she’s just trying to point the blame at somebody else for her own behavior.

Liam: I– yeah, I mean, i kinda agree. I don’t– I don’t fault her for not wanting to repeat the mistakes her mom made with your dad.

Steffy: That doesn’t justify the harsh decision. Like, filing for divorce?

Liam: Yeah, I– I think it’s a pretext. Uh, listen, she’s not– she’s not wrong that I care about you and I’ll always care about you, but come on. I’m not– I’m not harboring any romantic delusions that you and I are gonna have a future together. I– I’m respecting your marriage to finn, and between you and me, I’m not– I’m not gonna mistake ever again. I’m not gonna cross any lines with you, I promise. She found it.

Wyatt: We’re close, right? I mean, we’ve been through a lot over the years and I understand you not wanting to live your life like your mother and you don’t wanna go on that whole rollercoaster ride.

Hope: Hm. I have worked very hard not to repeat those mistakes.

Wyatt: Right, but you and liam are not the same as your mom and ridge. In fact, you’re far from it.

Hope: Hm. And yet, some patterns are hard to break, so.

Wyatt: I mean, but you did it. You did it with liam. You built a foundation together. Like, you have a family. There’s a lot to fight for.

Hope: Wyatt, I’m not the one that stopped fighting. That was liam. Liam was the one who walked out on our marriage so easily and so… I’m getting off the ride. Wyatt, um… we signed the divorce papers.

Liam: I just want you to know that I know kissing you was wrong. You’re– you’re a married woman and the last thing I want–

Steffy: Hey, hey. We’ve known each other long enough, you do not have to explain. You were at a breaking point.

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: You were in pain, so let’s just forget about it.

Liam: Okay, but I still want to be clear that I– I have nothing respect for– for finn.

Steffy: I know.

Liam: Especially given who he is and what he’s had to transcend, right? I mean, not everybody has a psychopath for a mother, much less one that tried to kill you, so.

Steffy: Look, I– I– I don’t wanna talk about that, okay? That was a really dark chapter in our lives, but thankfully, we have moved on. We don’t have to worry about sheila anymore. She’s locked up and she’s gonna stay there for the rest of her life.

Finn: Your heart’s racing. Are you telling the truth? Have you had any more symptoms?

Sheila: Just stress. You know, my entire life is in the hands of the justice system and my day of reckoning, it’s coming soon. It’s the last thing I think of when I go to bed at night and the first thing I think of in the morning when I wake up, um, besides you. I can’t escape it. And the thought of living my life without you and hayes, sometimes, it’s– it’s just too much. I love you both so very much. I know how much pain I’ve caused you, finn. All the people that you care about, but you have to know that I love you. I love you more than my own life. You have to know that, my son.

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry?

Wyatt: Wait, so you– so you guys are getting a divorce? That’s it? End of the line? You guys have already signed the papers?

Hope: Yes.

Wyatt: Wow. I mean, I– I can’t even– I can’t even believe this.

Hope: Look, I– I take responsibility for what happened with thomas in rome, but wyatt, I mean… if we’re being honest here, this is about so much more. I mean, this is about liam not fighting for us. This is about years, years of betrayal. This is about steffy’s place in your brother’s heart.

Steffy: Finn knows to keep his distance from sheila. She’s caused nothing but pain.

Liam: Well, I don’t doubt it. Everything that woman touches turns to dust.

Steffy: It hurts him to live with the fact that sheila is his mom. It’s not easy, but he’s accepted it. He knows exactly who she is, and after what she did to us, he will never set eyes on her again.

Sheila: You know, when I look back on my life, I’m not proud of what I see, the choices that I’ve made. The people that I’ve hurt. But, one thing that I am very proud of is that I gave birth to you, finn.

Finn: And I will always be grateful to you for that. And I hope you do find a positive purpose in your life, even if– even if it’s in here. You’re healthy enough to stand trial. Um… steffy and I will be at the hearing.

Sheila: So, I’ll, uh… I’ll get to see you one last time.

Finn: Goodbye, sheila.

Sheila: Wait, finn. It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been apart, the love is still there. I loved you from the second you came into this world. I’ve never stopped loving you, my beautiful baby boy. You know, I could just– I could just hold you in my arms and stare at you for hours. It was and still is the proudest moment of my life. And I thank god that you– you chose me as your mother.

Finn: When you– when you hold me like that, it feels– when you hold me like that, it feels like something I have been missing my whole life.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: What do you think?

Rj: I like it. I like the– the design.

Ridge: It’s all right, huh?

Rj: Yeah.

Ridge: Men’s collection is coming together. You okay?

Rj: Yeah. I don’t know. I’m worried about hope’s marriage a little bit.

Hope: I take full responsibility for what I’ve done with thomas. But, liam, even you have to admit that thomas isn’t the only one that has interfered in our marriage. Steffy has been there all along and it’s starting to feel a little hypocritical and I refuse to put up with it any longer.

Finn: Do you know what the issue is? Some former patient of mine needs to see me right away? Okay. Um, yeah, well, I’m finishing up some things at home, but I guess I’ll just call you back shortly. Okay.

Steffy: No surprise you’re needed.

[ Finn scoffing ] Oh, you’re the best.U’re sh a caring and compassionate doctor.

Mike: Good to see you, sheila. Pulled some strings to arrange a visit with my favorite fellow inmate.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: What is it you want, mike?

Mike: Oh, I got word your trial’s coming up, and, well, I just hope you’re adjusting to prison life all right. ‘Cause, well, you’re gonna be here a long, long time.

Steffy: I am so proud of you, baby. So many people admire you, not only as a doctor, but as a man too. Especially me. You’re such a kind human being and you would do anything for your patients.

Sheila: Well, your sources are correct. My attorney said that my time before the judge is– is coming.

Mike: Well, just keep your expectations low.

Sheila: Oh, gosh. Your encouragement is– oh, it’s heartwarming, mike.

Mike: What can I say? I’m a realist. Sheila, you’re not getting out of here.

Sheila: Is– is that what this visit is all about?

Mike: Babe, it’s about seeing the bright side. You’re not in here alone. Yours truly is behind bars, too.

Ridge: I admire how much you care about hope.

Rj: Yeah. I really– I– I hate seeing her upset. It’s hard on me.

Ridge: You know what I think?

Rj: No.

Ridge: I think the two of them are gonna be okay.

Rj: I, uh… thanks, thank you. I– I might’ve, uh, gone over to talk to liam, actually, on behalf of hope.

Ridge: Oh.

Rj: I mean, it wasn’t– I was just trying to get through to him, you know, what the stakes are and what he could lose, and I– I really tried to get him to forgive hope.

Liam: I’m sorry. I– forgive me. How did we– how did we get from you kissing thomas to an argument about steffy?

Hope: Because you love her. Right? You’ll always love her. And I– I know that because I’ve lived through this, liam. I’ve– I’ve grown up with ridge and his divided feelings between my mom and taylor and I don’t want any part of it.

Liam: I don’t get the analogy. What, you’re not gonna make the same mistake as brooke by running off with the bad boy? Like, wh– what? So bad? Right now. Today. Is that– is it because he loves me? It’s because he’s dedicated to me? Is it because he’s loyal? Is it because when I look into his eyes, I just see %100 commitment and I can’t say the same for you? Metro has unlimited 5g for just $25.

Sheila: Yeah. You’re right. My future is looking rather bleak.

Mike: Your attorney offering any hope?

Sheila: No. I did reach out to jack, finn’s father. He couldn’t shut me down fast enough.

Mike: Well, no shock there. But, sheila, you gotta stay positive or you’ll go crazy in here.

Sheila: Mike, I– I could almost live with the fact that I’d behind bars for the rest of my life. But what makes me crazy is to know that I could never being close to finn and hayes ever again.

Steffy: I gotta get to the office before it gets too late. Dad wants me to look at some samples.

Finn: Yeah, and I gotta call my nurse back about this patient.

Steffy: Yeah, and I’ll– I’ll make those calls this week about a nanny. I’m hoping that we can interview some this week.

Finn: Yes. Thank you. I don’t know what I’d ever do without you. I love our family so much.

Steffy: Me too.

Finn: And I will always do whatever it takes to keep everyone safe and happy.

Rj: I really wish I can be as optimistic about hope and liam’s marriage as you are.

Ridge: But you have doubts.

Rj: Yeah, I have doubts. I– listen, I talked to liam. All right? I looked him in the face. We talked about all this. He is hurt, he is betrayed, he’s blindsid– I’ve never seen him ke I think it’s going to take a miracle for him to forgive hope, honestly.

Ridge: Well, time heals wounds, son. And I think liam going to realize what’s best for him, for his family.

Rj: I mean, do you really think liam is going to throw away his entire life, his marriage over one kiss? I don’t know. You know what, I think I need to just back away. I think– and to think a little more positively about it. Take a page out of your book and just believe that the two of them are going to figure it out. And I hope they do.

Liam: Hope, I– I have been totally committed to you.

Hope: Was that past tense?

Liam: How are you doing– how are you turning this around on me when clearly, you’ve had feeling for thomas for god knows how long.

Hope: Can I ask you a question?

Liam: Fine. What?

Hope: Given how easy it was for you to ask for a divorce from me over a kiss, was it because of steffy? Let me guess. You– you told her that, um, walking away from her was the biggest mistake of your life? Hm? What’s so sad about that is that I know that’s probably how you feel. Salonpas lidocaine flex.

Ridge: Well, I would have to say it’s the, uh, sustainable component of this last collection that keeps us apart from the competition. You– you can definitely print that. Yes. Okay. Any time. I’m– oh. I got another call. Oh, I will. Th– oh, yes. Thank you.

[ Rj laughing ]

Rj: Nice. That was good. Kind of leave them wanting more, right?

Ridge: Yeah, he wanted a soundbite. Now, he has one. Glad you’re here. And I don’t mean because I, you know…

Rj: Dad, I know.Th

Steffy: Hi, you two.

Ridge: Hi!

Rj:. Hey, steffy. What’s up?

Steffy: Sorry, I’m late. Finn and I are in the process of looking for a new nanny, which can be crazy.

Ridge: Speaking of finn, I was talking to carter and he says that sheila’s trial is approaching.

Steffy: Thank god. That day can’t come soon enough. We can keep sheila carter behind bars for the rest of her life.

Guard: Time’s up, guthrie.

Mike: Already? Man, time flies when you’re having fun. Well, my friend, I will be thinking of you and your day in court. And I will come and have a face-to-face with you every chance I get. You’re stuck with me, now. Maybe we’ll be together forever after all.

Finn: No! Is th– there has to be another way! Is there not any other doctor that’s available? Okay, okay, okay. You know what? Fine. Just tell them I’ll do it one last time, okay? One time, that’s it.

Liam: Yeah, hope, absolutely. I’m re-evaluating some choices now. I’ve always cared about steffy, but this is a whole other–

Hope: Do you hear yourself, liam? That’s part of the problem.

Liam: What is the problem? That I have a history with steffy? That I gave all of that up for you? Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.

Hope: No. No. You meant it. You feel like it was a mistake giving up your life up with steffy.

Liam: Do you feel like I’ve forced you to give up something with thomas?

Hope: I am sorry that I have caused so much pain and heartache. Liam, I promise you you that was never my intention. But maybe, this… was always going to be impossible. Maybe, it’s been… too much back and forth. Too many betrayals, just– maybe, it was just too much to overcome.

Liam: Okay. Okay, so… so, what– what are you saying?

Hope: I love you. I will always love you. And I believe that standing here, at heart, we are both good people. But maybe, the situation is just untenable. I know that you’ve always felt pulled in two different directions and you’ve always wanted more time over at steffy’s, and well, um… yeah, now’s– now’s your chance.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: I, uh… I had my attorney draw up divorce papers. Thoughts, martin?

Rj: Hey, does carter have an exact date for the sheila trial?

Ridge: No, not yet. He’s keeping us posted. How do you think finn is gonna feel about his birth mother going away for the rest of her days?

Steffy: He wants sheila to pay for her crimes more than anyone.

Sheila: Why am I still here? Is there someone coming to visit me?

Guard: Yes.

Sheila: Oh, god, please, please. Please let him be coming to see me, please, lord, please. Finn, you came!

Finn: I’m only here as your doctor.

Sheila: It’s okay. It doesn’t matter why you came, it– it just matters that you’re here. I am so grateful to see you, my handsome son. I mean, just look at you. You know, it doesn’t matter what happens. It– it won’t change the fact that I brought you into this world. I’m your mother, finn. Your mother. And I’m never gonna stop loving you.

Liam: Wow. You had the papers drawn up.

Hope: You’re the one who asked for a divorce, liam. Liam, I love you. And I know you will continue to be an amazing father to our baby girl. But…

[ Clears throat ] …You wanted a divorce, so I took you at your word.

[ Liam sighing ]

Liam: You ready for this? You– you’re ready to walk away?

Hope: I did not want this, no. I did not want the heartache and… the pain and– and I did not want to raise our daughter in a broken family. But here we are. So no, liam. I wanted none of this.

Liam: Except maybe thomas.

Hope: You will be free to live your life… and I will be free to live mine. .

[ Steffy sighing ]

[ Finn sighing ]

Finn: Do you hear that? That is absolute silence.

Steffy: Ugh, it’s so nice. Kelly and hayes’ food fight certainly did not help this morning.

Finn: I had to clean up cereal off the floor.

Steffy: Thank you for helping get it– getting it out of my hair. It was all over me.

Finn: Any time. We’re, um…

Steffy: What?

Finn: We’re gonna have to find a new nanny now that amelia is gone. We haven’t had much luck with sitters.

Steffy: I know, I know, and our moms can only help out so much.

Finn: Um, there is one good thing about not having anyone around.

Steffy: Really?

Finn: Yeah. We can, uh… do more of this.

Steffy: Yeah, we can.

Finn: And find small moments of peace to reconnect.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: I just– I feel so blessed to be in a strong marriage considering…

Steffy: Considering what?

Finn: Considering what hope and liam are going through.

Brooke: Honey, I– I just don’t want you to regret this. I know what it’s like to be enticed by the bad boy.

Hope: Oh, my god. Can we just stop with that already?

Brooke: Okay, so what are you trying to tell me, hope? You really are gonna give up on your marriage?

Hope: I just know that I deserve more than half of liam’s heart.

Ridge: Logan.

Brooke: Oh. Hi, ridge.

Ridge: Hi. Hey.

Brooke: Hey.

Ridge: It seems you were miles away. And I guess I know why.

Liam: Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Liam: I, uh, take it you got my text.

Hope: Yeah. I was a little surprised by it, but, uh… I agree. We need to talk. About our marriage and… our future.

Finn: What time is liam coming by to be with kelly?

Steffy: I don’t know. He said he was gonna text me after he saw hope.

Finn: Did he give you any indication about their situation?

Steffy: No, but I’m hoping no news is good news.

Finn: Well, it’d be ideal if hope and liam could work it out, for all of us. Including you and me.

Ridge: Is there any news?

Brooke: Uh, no. I haven’t spoken to hope yet today.

Ridge: Hey, with everything going on, I forgot to tell you how thankful I am for what you did last night.

Brooke: Last night?

Ridge: Yeah, going to talk to thomas. How’d it go?

Hope: I have, um, been thinking a lot about… our future, our past. I mean, how we wound up here. And I am not making excuses for what happened in rome. I hate that I hurt you. I really do. But I think we need to figure out where do we go from here? And if there is hope for our marriage, then I think we need to have a very honest conversation with each other about… everything.

Liam: You and thomas?

Hope: And you and steffy. (Wheezing)

Ridge: I don’t know. I just never would have thought that our amazing reunion was gonna be upstaged by hope and thomas kissing.

Brooke: Yeah, I know. I don’t think anybody predicted that.

Ridge: I’m just trying to make light of something.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Hope and liam, it’s sad. It’s awful what they’re going through. And I’m grateful that you talked– you talked to thomas and you know that he wasn’t responsible for this. It means a lot to me. It means a lot to him. This was a mistake. Two young people doing something dumb. Maybe it was the city, maybe it was the wine, I don’t know. They’ll get past it. They will. It’s a silly kiss, that’s all.

Brooke: Yeah.

Finn: Look, I’m not being insensitive to what hope and liam are going through.

Steffy: Well, it sounds like you want them to patch things up so it doesn’t upset our life. Liam won’t be coming here and unloading all of his issues with hope on us.

Finn: No, wait a minute, that’s– that’s– that’s not what I’m saying. Look, if liam can find it in his heart to forgive hope, that’ll be the best thing for all of us. And I– look– totally support liam playing a big part in kelly’s life, but I don’t want liam coming around here whenever he chooses, spending too much time with you if it doesn’t work out with hope, especially now when liam’s feeling vulnerable.

Hope: I take full responsibility for what happened with thomas. But liam, you know me and you know that I have always just prided myself on my morals and my standards and yet, in rome… I gave into desire. And I’m not proud of that. I don’t know if it’s ’cause I got caught up in the moment or I was looking for some sort of escape, but… it happened. And I’m not gonna lie to you, liam. The desire was real for me and I know you hate hearing about this and you hate hearing about thomas, but I think we also need to admit that he is not the only one who has interfered in our marriage. And whether you want to admit it or not, I have the sneaking suspicion that you already have gone and done what you always do. You went and you ran to steffy. Some luxury creams just sit on top of skin.

Ridge: So, how did it go? You still haven’t told me how it went when you saw thomas last night.

Brooke: Oh, it was, um, it was… surprising. I mean, not at all what I expected.

Ridge: I was afraid of that. I get it. He’s done awful things to you, to your family, hope, liam. But he’s worked so hard and he’s not the same person. He’s not. He’s– he’s become a better man.

Brooke: I wanna believe that. I really do.

Ridge: But it kinda seems like you don’T.

Brooke: Just not sure that I can.

Ridge: But you see that he’s put the time in, right? He’s a better dad, he’s a better son. He’s trying and I think you need to– to give him a chance. He made a mistake. It was one kiss, but you gotta get past that.

Finn: Just to be clear, I am not jealous or insecure in the least when it comes to liam. And I would never, ever question your love or your commitment. I just don’t trust liam. Not when he’s emotionally freefalling. Look, this is what he does. He– he may be reminded of all the history that you two share.

Steffy: That’s all it is, finn. History.

Finn: Well, I’m just saying, liam better not forget that.

Liam: All right, so, you think I went to steffy. I’m pretty sure you’ve seen thomas since you’ve been back in town. What do we do here? What’s the plan? I mean, steffy’s happily married. Nothing’s happening there, but thomas isn’t, so what do you want? Do you want a relationship with him now?

Hope: We’re not talking about thomas right now.

Liam: We’re not?

Hope: No. We are talking about your relationship with steffy that you have had throughout our entire marriage.

Liam: No, that’s clearly what you want to talk about to deflect. Is that your excuse for kissing thomas?

Hope: No, liam. When I apologized to you for that, I meant it. I own what I did. Look, the more I think about that kiss and why it even happened, why I would allow myself to risk so much… the more I begin to think that it is about something far deeper than just that. It is about the cyclical dynamic that we have had with steffy that has eroded the foundation of our relationship throughout so many years.

Liam: So you kissed thomas because– I’m sorry. This doesn’t make any sense to me. You’re gonna have to connect these dots.

Hope: Okay, fine, look. If you look at the bigger picture, liam, I think this has to do with the fear deeply ingrained inside of me. And that is a childhood where I had to watch my mother shed countless tears over ridge and his divided loyalties between two women and that changes things. And that changed something inside of me, and liam, I refuse to be that woman.

Ridge: I have to believe that everything is gonna work out for the best.

Brooke: I hope you’re right.

Ridge: I am right. People make mistakes. They’ll fight, they work through it and they’re gonna put this behind them.

Brooke: I wanna believe that. I do. I just feel like so many people’s lives are going to be impacted if… if hope and liam can’t find their way back to each other.

Steffy: Baby, you have nothing to worry about. I am committed to you, our marriage, our life together.

Finn: I know and look, I really do feel for what liam’s going through, I just– I don’t want his mind wandering to thoughts of you and kelly.

Steffy: We’re solid. Liam knows that.

Finn: Well, knowing how liam feels about thomas, I can only imagine the blow it was to liam to see that kiss.

Steffy: I can’t believe it happened.

Finn: Maybe some people can’t control themselves. They can’t fight the power and the romance of rome taking over.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: My gosh.

Liam: Okay, so… let me get this straight. Steffy’s been a non-issue in our relationship for a long time. You kiss thomas in rome and now, suddenly, retroactively, this is about steffy? Hope– I know what you’re doing. I love you and perhaps naively, I never questioned your commitment to me or our marriage. I mean, even when steffy told me rightly that you had something going on with thomas, I didn’t believe it. I– I– I defended you because I always defend you.

Hope: That’s the problem. You always turning to steffy. It is like her shadow has been cast upon the entirety of our relationship. I mean, liam, anytime I wasn’t able to give you what you needed, what you couldn’t communicate to me, you would go and run to her.

Liam: Yeah, I’m sorry for that. I hurt you. I made mistakes. But you didn’t forgive me as quickly as you clearly expect me to forgive you. I had to earn back your trust for months. And we’re not here right now because of my mistakes. We’re here because of yours. We’re here because of what you did and you didn’t just do it with anyone. You did it with the one guy who tried over and over to destroy our family. You wanna know why I want a divorce? It’s because I don’t understand you. I don’t know who you are and I still don’t know what’s going on between you and thomas, so if you wanna tell me, great.

Hope: You wanted a divorce, okay. Fine. Then that means your life is yours and mine is mine. You wanted it. I accept that.

Liam: You beat me to it. You took of your ring first. You know, I cherished what we had. I still will. I didn’t think it would end, especially not like this, but hope, you gotta stop telling yourself it’s because of me and steffy. It’s not. It’s because of you and thomas. I haven’t done anything wrong.

Hope: Except you have. You have planted seeds of betrayal throughout the years, liam, and you have never truly faced any sort of consequences for that, and that, that’s my fault. Because I was always trying to do the right thing for our family, for our marriage, I would try to forgive and move on. But I really need to thank you for not allowing me the same grace because it’s opened my eyes. I’m sorry I hurt you. Truly, I am, but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with a man wondering where his affections truly lie. I won’t do that. So… go. Find love. Hell, even go find steffy.

this can’t happen. You and– and thomas? Have you forgotten everything that he’s done to your family? What were you thinking?

Hope: I’m not thinking. I’m feeling and I have never felt a connection like this before.

Brooke: Honey, I’m not gonna allow it. I am not gonna allow you to throw away your life, your marriage, your family for this. This affair with thomas ends tonight.

Wyatt: Liam, you have every right to feel hurt and angry. You’re allowed to feel all of those feelings. But the question is, is if you’re gonna allow that hurt and anger to just completely destroy years of history and a family.

Liam: I– I wish that question had an answer, wyatt.

[ Wyatt scoffing ]

Wyatt: Fine. Here’s a different question then. Do you still love hope? Because if the answer to that is yes, then you have to try and forgive her. Talk to her, listen to her. You gotta do whatever you can to save that marriage before it’s too late.

Steffy: I’m sorry, finn had to rush out. He had to see one of his patients. Moving him out of the icu.

Ridge: Well, I’m glad he’s got his priorities straight, but we did have a date tonight. We were gonna talk about the game.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, you were gonna talk about soccer all night long.

Ridge: Not all night long, just most of the night and it’s called football.

Steffy: Oh, okay.

Ridge: Okay. Anyway…

[ Steffy laughing ] You got a good man, even if he supports peterborough.

Steffy: No, I actually am really grateful. We’ve been talking about that, just how grateful we are for this life. Our beautiful family. Kelly and hayes. Everything’s just so easy with him. It really works and I just feel so lucky. Especially considering everything that’s going on between liam and hope. Because she kissed thomas.

Ridge: I feel for hope and liam. That’s tough.

Steffy: Yeah, it really rocked liam. I mean, he’s not himself.

Ridge: I get that. Look, I know I can say this to you. I’m a little concerned about thomas backsliding with all the fallout. He’s worked so hard.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. I wish it never happened.

Ridge: Hope and liam, they’re gonna be fine. He’s gonna forgive her and they’re gonna– gonna move on. It was a kiss. That’s all.

Brooke: Hope, please. You are making a terrible mistake, but it’s not too late. You can go to liam and you can tell him how much you love him and he will forgive you. You know how much he loves you.

Hope: He doesn’t want me anymore, mom. He can’t forgive me. Liam wants a divorce.

Wyatt: You’re right. What hope did, it doesn’t make any sense, but that– that’s why you have to talk to her.

Liam: How could she have feelings for thomas?

Wyatt: You don’t even know that she does!

Liam: Yes, I do, wyatt. Yes, I do. I know what I saw. That kiss was real and passionate and lustful and very freaking deliberate and it made me sick to my stomach, and steffy tried to warn me about this. She told me that there was something going on between the two of them well before–

Wyatt: You’re gonna believe steffy?

Liam: I don’t know what I believe. Here’s what I know, is that hope looked me in the eye and told me that I’m crazy for thinking that anything could happen between the two of them. I’m crazy for doubting that she loves me and our family more than anything in the world.

Wyatt: Well, she does!

Liam: You are asking me to deny reality! What I saw was not a figment of my imagination.

Wyatt: Okay, fine. It wasn’t and I can’t explain it, but you know what? You are the most forgiving person that I know. You, of all people, can find a way.

Liam: See, that– it’s exactly what steffy said. It’s unreal.

Wyatt: She did? You, uh– [ Clears throat ] You talk to steffy a lot lately?

Liam: I mean, yeah, a little.

Wyatt: Is there something you wanna tell me, bro? Some other reason, maybe, you’re not exactly fighting so hard for your marriage right now? How about you tell me how steffy factors into this whole situation, huh?

Ridge: Well, I have to keep an eye on thomas. Tell him to keep his head down and avoid any more drama. I just don’t want him to fall into that black hole. Your mom was worried about that too.

Steffy: Yeah, I told liam it’s gonna take time, but he’s gotta forgive hope.

Ridge: Liam’s very lucky to have you. It’s nice that you guys are still close.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, we, uh– we all make mistakes and I know forgiveness is tough right now, but it’s possible when you love someone. And liam loves hope.

Kelly: Mommy?

Steffy: What’s the matter, baby?

Kelly: I dreamed something happened to daddy. I was crying for him, but he couldn’t hear me.

Taylor: Oh, no. It sounds like you had a bad dream. Oh, baby. Nothing happened to daddy, okay? Remember what he said to you before you fell asleep? What did he say?

Kelly: That he loves me to the moon and back.

Steffy: And he always will.

Brooke: Hope, please. Put yourself in liam’s shoes. He just found out about the kiss. He was reacting to that.

Hope: He means it, mom. Liam wants a divorce. I saw it in his eyes.

Brooke: But that doesn’t mean you should turn to thomas. He’s obviously taking advantage of this situation. Of you.

Hope: Oh, no. Thomas is not taking advantage of me.

Thomas: I don’t want to take advantage of anything, brooke. And I never wanted to break up her marriage.

Brooke: Well, I find that hard to believe since I came in here and found the two of you in bed together.

Thomas: You came over here telling us that you know what I’m saying is true. And I just want hope to be happy.

Brooke: You want her to be happy? Then, send her home to liam where she belongs. She can fix her marriage.

Hope: Wow, mom.

Brooke: Honey, liam may have said that he wanted a divorce, but he didn’t mean it. You know he loves you.

Hope: Liam may love me, but he also loves someone else. He loves steffy. (Rose h) smoking caused my lung cancer.

Wyatt: I know you and steffy are close and everything, but– hm.

Liam: Yeah, we have a daughter and she’s still my friend.

Wyatt: Right. And you said you saw her in rome too? Before and after you– you saw hope.

Liam: Yeah, well, she was at the event, so she knows what happened.

Wyatt: And you’ve talked to her since you’ve been back?

Liam: I have been over to the house, yes.

Wyatt: Yeah. To see kelly?

Liam: Yes, I– I try to see my daughter as much as I possibly can. Is that okay with you?

Wyatt: Hm, is that it though?

Liam: Yeah, I talk to steffy about stuff like–

Wyatt: About hope? About how disillusioned you are? About how– how much you’re feeling betrayed by her right now?

Liam: I mean, yes, steffy knows– she knows how I feel.

Wyatt: Anything else come up? Any old feelings you might have for steffy?

Liam: Y– like I said, you know, sh– steffy knows how I feel.

Wyatt: Okay, liam, you– you need to be straight with me here. Is there something going on with steffy? Something that might be impacting this whole situation with hope?

Liam: I did something really stupid. Um… I kissed her.

Ridge: Everything all right?

Steffy: Out like a light.

Ridge: When you were a kid, you had bad dreams too.

Steffy: Oh, yes. You’d sit on my bed and hold my hand ’til I fell asleep.

Ridge: My favorite thing.

Steffy: Actually, I have a confession to make. I sometimes would fake a bad dream just so you could be with me.

Ridge: I love that. I had no idea.

Steffy: Nothing made me feel safer than my dad.

Ridge: And I’m sure kelly feels the same way.

Steffy: Oh, kelly adores liam. Um, liam hates not being here, but he’s a great dad. He just has two families, one with me, one with hope.

Ridge: Can I ask you something? Do you think hope turned to thomas because you still have a connection with liam?

Brooke: You refuse to let me repeat your mistakes? Okay. Yeah. Oh, fine. Fine, mom. I don’t want to. I don’t want to be with a man who’s in love with another woman and we all know how liam feels about steffy.

Brooke: Honey, that was in the past. Steffy and liam’s relationship was over a long time ago.

Hope: Oh, no. It is not over. It’s never going to be over, mom. It hangs over our marriage constantly. And I know liam feels that way because he– he has much said so to me. So, I would think that maybe you might understand how I feel in this scenario.

Brooke: My relationship with ridge is very different from yours and liam’S. Just save your marriage. You and liam have worked too hard. Fought too hard to be together. Don’t throw it all away. Save yourself from the pain and heartache.

Hope: Don’t you see that is exactly what I am doing? I am saving myself. And mom, did you ever stop to maybe ask yourself why it was so easy for liam to walk out on our marriage? How he was able to just give it up like that? After all those years that I’ve forgiven him for so much worse? He couldn’t allow me that same forgiveness, mom. Did you think that maybe it’s because he has a backup plan? Because there’s a woman who’s always been waiting there for him to give him exactly what I give him? Family, love, hell, even a daughter.

Brooke: He loves you. He is committed to you.

Hope: Oh, in the same way that ridge is committed to you? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know that sounded harsh and I don’t mean to hurt you, mom, but I don’t want to live my life like that. I mean, sure. Yes, you and ridge have– have managed to smooth things out as of late, but how many decades has it been of you chasing after him begging for his love, worrying that he’s thinking about someone else? I don’t want that. So yes, I will always love liam. I will and I hate the way that this has all transpired. But I want to be with a man who wants me… and only me. (Vo) if you have graves’ disease,

Wyatt: You kissed steffy? Twice?

Liam: Yeah. Um, once in rome and once after when we got back.

Wyatt: Oh, my god. Like, I don’t even know what you’re thinking. Like, this is a complete–

Liam: I– I– I don’t know what I was thinking, okay? I was– I– I had just seen my wife in thomas’s arms. I was– I was shell shocked.

Wyatt: Oh, so you thought the best thing that you could do is to go kiss steffy? Someone who you have tons of history with?

Liam: And who is happily married to finn and has her family.

Wyatt: Yes!

Liam: I know, I know it was– it was wrong and stupid and dumb and dumb and stupid and wrong and I know that.

Wyatt: Wait, you cannot– you cannot go down this road, liam. Like, you can’T. That’s not fair to anybody.

Liam: I know. I– I– I never should have crossed the line like that. I have too much respect for steffy and finn and their– and their marriage and kissing her was– it was wrong. It was totally wrong and– and I promise, I promised her, I– I– I’m never gonna do something like that. I’m– I’m never gonna interfere in her life or her marriage ever again.

Ridge: If hope thinks that liam still has feelings for you, that could seriously undermine the relationship.

Liam: I think

my marriage is over.

I think it’s over.

I think I…

[ Liam sniffling ]

I think I made a mistake.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Liam. No, liam loves hope. They’re gonna find their way through this. They’re gonna put their family back together. Liam’s future is with her.

Brooke: Honey, I– I just don’t want you to regret this and I know you will. I do, trust me. I know you’re gonna wake up one day and you’re gonna wish none of this happened. You’ll be devastated and you’ll want to take it all back, but it will be too late. But it’s not too late right now, honey. You can still fight. You can fight for liam. You can fight for your family. You could fight for your marriage.

Hope: I am fighting for myself, mom.

Brooke: Thomas is not gonna make you happy.

Hope: Were you happy all those years that I had to scrape you up off the floor, heartbroken? Were you happy?

Brooke: Of course not, sweetheart.

Hope: Okay, so I think I deserve a little more than that. And please don’t tell me again that liam loves me and I should fight for my marriage when he is the one that refuses to do so.

Brooke: Liam does love you and he will come home.

Hope: Oh, please. Mom, he’s probably over at steffy’s right now declaring his love and begging to be taken back.

Brooke: Steffy is married to finn!

Hope: Like that’s ever stopped anyone before. I mean… I hate what is happening. I hate that liam saw me kiss thomas. I hate that I hurt him. But, mom, after everything that has happened over how many years, I am not sure that I see a future with liam.

[ Brooke sighing ] You don’t mean that.

Hope: I do.

Brooke: Okay. I know what it’s like to be enticed by the bad boy.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Can we just stop with that already? Mom, yes, thomas has flaws but last time I checked, we all do, right? But thomas also has strengths. You want to know one of them? He wants me and only me. He doesn’t have some other woman rattling around in the back of his head. No, it is just me. You know how good that feels?

Brooke: Oh, okay, so what are you trying to tell me, hope? You really are gonna give up on your marriage? You’re giving up?

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: I don’t have an answer for you, mom. I– I don’T. I can only ask that you keep what you have seen here tonight between us while I try to figure out my next steps because this is my life and these are my choices and I will live with the consequences. I just know… that I deserve more than half of liam’s heart. And I want to be with a man who is not in love with another woman.

[ Hope panting ]

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Hope!

[ Brooke gasping ] My god. What are you doing? Oh, this is unbelievable.

Hope: Mom! What?

Brooke: You and thomas?

Carter: Okay, so– so you really think it’s a good idea?

Ridge: What? Brooke talking to thomas? I think it’s a great idea. It would mean a lot to him.

Carter: Well, I’m surprised that she’s willing to after everything that’s happened.

Ridge: Why are you surprised by that? Maybe she could see him for who he is instead of who he was.

Taylor: Oh, hey fellas.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Am I interrupting?

Carter: No, no, not at all. It’s good to see you, taylor.

Taylor: It’s good to see you too, carter. I’m looking for thomas. We’re supposed to have dinner and I can not reach him. Do you– do you know where he is?

Ridge: Yeah, he’s with brooke.

Liam: No, no. Once the third quarter projections for australia are finalized, then you send them to me. No, I did– I did tell you that yesterday, bryce. Yeah, all right. Thank you. I thought you went home.

Wyatt: Well, I saw that you didn’t, so I brought chinese.

Liam: Oh. Thank you. I was just, um, finishing up with the sydney team.

Wyatt: Yeah, I know. Nice. I think the way you’ve been handling the situation down under’s been pretty impressive. You know, speaking of situation, I just wonder if you’ve been burying yourself in your work a lot lately because you’re trying to distract yourself from the situation at home. Your marriage. When are you gonna go talk to hope?

Liam: Dude, I really– I really don’t want to talk about hope and thomas.

Wyatt: Right. I get that, but it’s not like the situation’s just gonna go away.

Liam: Yes, I know. I know, wyatt. I’m painfully aware of that. Every time I stop even for a second, what races through my brain is hope kissing thomas. Do you wanna– do you wanna know what the best part of my day has been? Yelling at the sydney team. What does that say?

Wyatt: Okay, you know what? This whole thing has been rough on you, I get that. You don’t want to talk about hope and thomas. That’s fine. So, let’s just take the jackass out of the conversation and we’ll just talk about hope. You remember her. About yay high, blonde hair, great eyes. Your wife. The woman you love.

Taylor: Okay, well why– why is thomas with brooke?

Ridge: She’s worried about hope and liam’s relationship.

Carter: That’s understandable after what just happened in rome.

Taylor: Yeah, but she’s been worried about their relationship for a while. Thomas told me what happened in rome. At least, this time, no one can blame thomas.

Ridge: And brooke agrees. She knows hope started this one.

Hope: Mom, what are you doing here?

Brooke: What are you doing here? In thomas’ bed? You are a married woman or have you forgotten? How could you do this, hope? How? This isn’t charmin!

Wyatt: Spoke to dad today.

Liam: Oh, yeah? Is he checking up on us?

Wyatt: Pretty much. I mean, I told him everything was fine, that he had nothing to worry about, but you know how he is. If he can’t see it, he can’t believe it.

Liam: Wait, you didn’t– you didn’t, um… you didn’t say anything about hope and thomas?

Wyatt: That’s not my business to tell, liam. Neither is you staying at his place while he’s gone.

Liam: Thank you. I appreciate it.

Wyatt: Look, I know that this whole thing has been rough on you, but it’s not like it’s the end of the world, right? J– j– just hear me out, hear me out here. You– you have a lot right going on in your life.

Liam: Do I?

Wyatt: Yes, you do and you know you do. Hope loves you, you love hope. You have beth. You have douglas. You have a beautiful family that everyone can see that.

Liam: Oh, can everybody see that, wyatt?

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: Can everybody see that? Do you think hope couldn’t see that when she had her tongue down thomas’ throat?

Wyatt: Fine, I will give you that one.

Liam: Thank you.

Wyatt: But, I don’t want to harp on this. Maybe, just– just maybe, you can find a little bit of compassion and forgiveness for your wife.

Liam: I think I should get back to work.

Wyatt: No, liam, I’m serious here!

Liam: I’m being serious too! What do you think I can do? You think I just have this superpower where I can forget everything that happened in rome? Like, deleted.

Wyatt: You know what? If you really love hope, then you need to dig deep and find a way to talk to her and forgive her.

Taylor: Look, I am– I am– I am glad that brooke knows that– that hope is the one that kissed thomas, but– but see, I just– I just have this feeling that– that thomas is gonna end up getting blamed for this because that is always what happens. And he has risen above so much, the last thing I wanna see is– is hope or any of the logans drag him down.

Ridge: Here we go, okay.

Carter: I should be going.

Ridge: Smart move. Can I come with you?

Carter: Nope. Goodnight.

Taylor: The allure of the city, carter?

Carter: Goodnight, taylor.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Ridge: So, that’s how you feel, huh?

Taylor: I do. I really do. You know how hard thomas has worked to get to where he is and he is a better man. He is a better father and I am so proud of him.

Ridge: So am I. I haven’t seen him so happy or so well-adjusted in a long time.

Taylor: And he’s happy and well-adjusted because he’s been sticking to his program and he is– he is dedicated to being the best version of himself that he can possibly be.

Ridge: I agree.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: So, shouldn’t we celebrate that?

Taylor: Ridge, I celebrate that everyday. But now, I’M… I’m worried. I am. I’m– I’m worried that– that hope’s little stunt in rome is gonna be a trigger for our son.

Ridge: Hasn’t been so far.

Taylor: So far. Well, I’ll tell you this, I do not want to see the logans sabotage thomas.

Hope: Mom, please let me explain.

Brooke: How? How are you going to explain? I came here today to tell thomas I knew that kiss wasn’t his fault. I came here in good faith. I was gonna extend an olive branch. And then I find the two of you in bed together. I’m beginning to wonder if you didn’t manipulate my daughter after all.

Hope: Mom, this is not thomas’ fault. He did not manipulate me. I made a choice. I know what I did and I don’t regret it.

Brooke: Honey, you turn to the one man that your husband hates more than anything–

Hope: My husband left me!

Brooke: I refuse to believe that, I do. You have to keep fighting, hope. And this thing that happened here today with you and thomas, this was a mistake. You are not going to be with thomas. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Ridge: No one is trying to sabotage thomas.

Taylor: Yet.

Ridge: Why do you do that? Why?

Taylor: What?

Ridge: It’s a simple kiss. Nothing’s gonna come of it.

Taylor: Oh, okay, ridge. How can you be so sure of that?

Ridge: I can be sure because if they had wanted to get together, they would’ve done it right here in L.A. Plenty of opportunity.

Taylor: But there were no feelings involved and now there are. Are– are you forgetting that thomas had an obsession?

Ridge: Had an obsession. History, past. It’s changed now.

Taylor: Mm-hmm. Right. But– but now, there is an active trigger and hope is pulling him back into the barrel.

Ridge: It was a simple kiss and it was heat of the moment, that’s all.

Taylor: Okay, well, that simple kiss in the heat of a moment can be very dangerous for our son.

Ridge: No, it’s– it’s not gonna come to that.

Taylor: Well, see, we don’t– we don’t know what thomas is thinking. We don’t know what’s coming up for him. We don’t know how he’s feeling.

Ridge: Here’s what I know. I trust him. Do you?

Taylor: This is not just about trust.

Ridge: Simple question. Do you trust him?

Taylor: I do. I do not trust hope or her mother.

Liam: All right, I really do have to get back to work now.

Wyatt: Oh, come on. Don’t blow me off, man.

Liam: I’m not blowing you off, wyatt. All right, okay. I know what you’re doing. You’re looking out for me and my family and I appreciate it and I hear you.

Wyatt: Okay, so what’s the problem?

Liam: What’s the– do you get that I want to forgive hope?

Wyatt: So then, why don’t you tell her that?

Liam: Because she’s the one who caused all of this in the first place by making out with thomas! Do you– do you understand that every time I close my eyes… yeah, see, there it is. See, there it is again. This is gonna haunt me forever, do you understand that?

Wyatt: Okay, I get that. Seriously, I do. But dude, it was– it was one kiss. One kiss. That’s it! Like, are you willing to just destroy your whole marriage and your family over that?

Thomas: Look, neither of us expected this, brooke. I mean, hope came over here in pain and upset because liam said he wanted a divorce.

Brooke: You should’ve sent her home.

Hope: Could you stop blaming him, mom? I don’t need rescuing right now.

Brooke: Just the other day, you were saying wanted to fix your marriage, you wanted to save it, and now this? It doesn’t make sense.

Hope: I hate what has happened, but liam made it very clear to me that it is over between us.

Brooke: You can’t give up.

Hope: I’m not the one that gave up on my marriage, mom! That was liam! And sure, maybe this is moving too fast with thomas, maybe it’s– maybe it is wrong, maybe it is scandalous, but it was also beautiful and passionate and romantic and if anyone should be able to understand it, it should be you.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Target circle week!

Ridge: I know you’re concerned about thomas and I know you don’t have a lot of patience with brooke right now.

Taylor: You think?

Ridge: But this isn’t about brooke. This is about hope and our son and the two of them had a moment in rome and I feel… given enough time, everyone’s gonna forget about it. That’s what I think. What do you think?

Taylor: I don’t, um…

Ridge: Okay, then, let me help you. Let’s just say that everything’s gonna work out just fine.

Taylor: Who are you right now?

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: What is going on? Mr. Positive?

Ridge: Point is this: It’s a simple kiss. It’s not gonna change anything.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Wyatt: Liam, don’t let one mistake destroy your entire marriage.

[ Liam sighing ]

Liam: I– I hear what you’re saying, but you’re not hearing what I’m–

Wyatt: Okay, because I’m saying it’s just one kiss. That’s what I’m saying.

Liam: That I know of. That I actually saw. And– and it was a kiss with thomas!

Wyatt: Oh, okay. So if hope kissed some random italian guy in rome, you’d be able to forgive that?

Liam: Have I not been saying that? Yes, that is the kind of thing I could eventually come to forgive.

Wyatt: Okay, I love you, but you need to let this go.

Liam: Oh, my god.

Wyatt: No one hates thomas more than I do, okay? Yet I’m asking you to let it go! Forget about him! Concentrate on hope. Think about what you do have. Think about your daughter. You have so much worth fighting for here.

Liam: Wyatt, why thomas? After– after everything that he’s done to us, what– what does that say about hope?

Wyatt: I don’t know why. I don’t know why she did what she did. She probably doesn’t even know why she did what she did.

Liam: Oh, that’s encouraging. That bodes well.

Wyatt: The thing that I do know, liam, is that you are the man that hope wants and loves. That’s it. Not thomas.

Hope: I didn’t plan any of this. I never thought for a minute that I could be with a man like this while I’m still married to another. I mean, how could I possibly, right? That’s not who I am.

Brooke: You’re right. That’s not who you are.

Hope: Yeah. Little miss hope logan. Too good to do something so thoughtless. I mean, how could I possibly? But I hate to break it to you, mom, what thomas and i shared was beautiful. And I have never felt this way before. And I am following my heart just like you did all those years ago and I am not saying that to blame you, mom. I don’t blame you for any of this. If anything, it just makes me feel even worse about the way that I attacked you for your past. Saying that I never wanted to be like you. Well maybe, I was wrong.

Brooke: Honey, you are nothing like me. I made a lot of mistakes in my life. Turning to the wrong man, the inappropriate man, and it cost me a lot. I don’t want you following in my footsteps. I don’t want that kind of life for you. You are so much better than that, hope. And when you say what you and thomas shared was beautiful? Well, I am not gonna believe that because nothing good will come of this. In fact, nothing will come of this. The two of you are going to forget everything that happened here today. You’re gonna wipe it from your minds, from your memories. No more lingering desires. Nothing. And you are going to go back to your husband, to your family, to beth and douglas. That’s where you belong, hope. You’re going to make it work. And this, whatever happened here between you and thomas, it is over. This affair ends today.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: Mm. I fell asleep.

Thomas: Mm.

Hope: How long was I–

Thomas: Well, you were– you were gone for a while. But I’ll take it as a compliment.

Hope: Yeah, you should. I should, um, I should probably get going.

Finn: You hear that?

Steffy: What?

Finn: It’s the sound of children sleeping.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: What should we do with this, uh, rare opportunity.

Steffy: I don’t know. You tell me.

Finn: For the rest of the night…

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Keep talking.

Finn: It’s all about you.

Ridge: Isn’t it funny, carter? Just when you’re ready to pass the torch, you see a little light.

Carter: Through a keyhole. I– your inspiration looks a lot like someone I know, but I– I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Ridge: Hm.

Carter: Uncanny.

Ridge: I don’t know what you mean.

Carter: What I mean is that it looks like your relationship was raised to another level on this trip. Haven’t seen you this happy in a long time.

Ridge: And it’s all because of logan.

Steffy: Babe, you spoil me.

Finn: All right.

Steffy: Yeah, you do.

Finn: Well, the night is young.

Steffy: Yeah. Oh, did you see what kelly drew for me?

Finn: Oh, wow. Huh. Might be time for her own line.

Steffy: Look, I know we’re a little biased, but honestly? I know talent when I see it.

Finn: Right? Like kelly was showing hayes how to hold his marker. It was so cute.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh.

Finn: They didn’t, uh, they didn’t see me spying on them.

[ Steffy laughing ]

Steffy: I just love seeing those two play together.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: I just never wanna take any of this for granted. You know, our home, our children, our life.

Finn: Me either.

Brooke: Wow, this is very nice. I might have to model this one myself.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Carter: You should know that ridge has been in an extremely pleasant mood since his return from rome.

Ridge: You know what? Maybe it was the beautiful city. Maybe it was the beautiful wine you made me drink every morning. And maybe it’s this beautiful creature right here.

Brooke: Mm. It was a very special trip for us. I just wish that everybody felt that way. I wish that things were better for hope and liam.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Can’t we just stay this way forever?

Thomas: Yeah. That sounds nice.

Hope: It’s just, I’ve never felt this way before. It’s– it’s exhilarating. Thomas.

Thomas: Mm-hmm?

Hope: I want you.

Steffy: You know, they say it’s– it’s the small things that turn out to be the really big things in life. And that is so true. I appreciate every single moment we have together.

Finn: So do I.

Steffy: God, to think I almost lost you.

Finn: Hey. But you didn’T.

Steffy: No, but, I would drive myself crazy just thinking about what life would be like without you.

Finn: But you don’t have to think about that anymore, okay? It’s in the past.

Steffy: Yeah, but the thought of raising our kids without you, I mean, it was… it was a lot. Um… god, I used to wake up in a panic. You know, my heart was racing and I remember just reaching out, seeing if you were there.

Finn: Hey, I am not going anywhere.

Steffy: Okay.

Brooke: My daughter has gone a little off course and that’s just not like her.

Ridge: It’s just a little bump, that’s all. I mean, look at us.

Brooke: Let’s not compare hope to our romance and what we’ve been through.

Ridge: I’m not saying that at all. I just– we had our challenges and we’re here, that’s all.

Carter: Yeah, it’s a good thing your amazing, talented friend convinced you to look through the keyhole and see your future.

Ridge: It’s unbelievable. And I will find a way to thank my amazing, talented friend.

Carter: I’m counting on it. Anyway, I have to hop on a conference call with the distributors. You’re welcome.

Ridge: Oh, boy.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Well, I am happy that I’m the one that’s responsible for bringing you peace and happiness to your life. But I can’t be the only one.

Ridge: You are.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Well, you and thomas. I mean, look, as a parent, you just want your kid to be happy, right? And that’s what he is. He’S… he’s a changed man. You believe that, right?

Hope: You know, I never thought I would do something like this. Being with another man when I’m still technically married.

Thomas: Hey, don’t do that to yourself.

Hope: No, no, no. No. It’s okay. I’m not ashamed. I’m not, thomas, really. I do hate what I’m doing to liam and what this is going to do to my family, but at the same time, I just… I’ve wanted you for so long.

Thomas: Hm.

Hope: And uh, yeah, it’s even better than I imagined.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Thomas: Well, I totally agree with that. I mean, this– this is not something I ever expected, but I’m sure happy it happened.

Hope: Me too. I– I really did try to do the right thing and I fought this really hard, but I just… I couldn’t resist you any longer. “Look at this skin, baby.

Finn: Hey. You all right?

Steffy: Uh, just thinking about that time. It was… the darkest chapter of my life. Thinking that you were gone. Hayes losing his father.

Finn: I wish you never had to go through that.

Steffy: I… it was torture. Oh, it was torture. You know, I was paralyzed. Every minute felt like hours, then a miracle happened.

[ Bell ringing ]

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy!

It’s me! Babe, that’s what you need to focus on, okay? Our incredible reunion. Reliving all that other stuff, it’s just– it’s not gonna help. It’s behind us.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. I know. And I do feel better that you said that because I don’t– I don’t ever wanna go through that again.

Finn: You never will.

Brooke: Well, I, um, I still have questions about what happened in rome, but I do know that my daughter initiated the kiss and thomas, he’s been amazing, actually. He’s kept his vow to be very professional with hope, working with her all this time and I appreciate that.

Ridge: He would love to hear you say that.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: I’ve been meaning to talk to him about it. I just haven’t found the right time. But, I am driving that way, so maybe I could swing by his place and just have a little chat with him.

Ridge: Really?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Thank you.

Brooke: Hope’s really gotta fix this. She needs to be with her family and back in the arms of the man she loves.

Ridge: Bye.

Hope: I got so defensive with my mom. I just really let her have it.

Thomas: She’s your mom. I’m sure she’s– she’s already forgiven you.

Hope: I don’t know. I just… I was pretty brutal and she did not deserve it.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I bet she’s already forgotten about it.

Hope: I hope so. I think I pushed back so hard because I was in denial, you know? My feelings for you. I just did not want to admit that she was right.

Thomas: That you fell for the bad boy.

Hope: Former bad boy, sir, all right? Don’t forget that because you are thoughtful and you are kind and…

Thomas: Well, you bring it out of me.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Ugh, my entire world is falling apart as we speak, and yet, somehow, being here with you, it just… it fades away. I just…

when you’re ready to go

Steffy: Watching everything that’s going on between liam and hope, it really makes me appreciate what we have.

Finn: Honestly, me too.

Steffy: God, it’s such a mess.

Finn: Yeah, it’s a major test to see if their love is as strong as it appears. I mean, look, no marriage is perfect. If they want it to work, they need to put each other first and fight for it.

Steffy: Yeah, but that’s not going to be easy. We all know how liam feels about thomas. I mean, what happened in rome when we confirmed his fears about my brother. Liam’s devastated.

Finn: Okay, well liam needs to get over it and put his family first.

Steffy: I’m just– I’m just still blown away by all of it. Like, how does she give in to her feelings? Like how does she fall for thomas? She insisted that I had nothing to worry about. She said it to my face that she didn’t have feelings for thomas. She really is a logan after all.

Carter: Ridge, thomas really knocked it out of the park with these designs.

Ridge: You always knew he could do it.

Carter: Yeah.

Ridge: He’s his own worst enemy.

Carter: Yeah, he could’ve stayed on that path, but he got it together. It’s not easy.

Ridge: It’s not easy. Especially when it comes to his obsession with hope, but he did it. He moved past it. He changed his life. Even brooke can see that now.

Carter: Quite the turnaround.

Ridge: Yeah, and she’s on her way over there right now to talk to him about it.

Carter: Really?

Ridge: Yeah, [Indistinct] Look. It was a kiss! Brooke has nothing to worry about when it comes to hope and thomas, trust me.

Hope: Don’t stop.

[ Hope panting ]

Brooke: Thomas? The door was open.

[ Brooke panting ]

[ Whispering ] Oh, my god. Hope! Oh, my god. What are you doing?

[ Sensual music ]

Rj: Are you texting hope?

Liam: Uh, no, I’m texting wyatt, he needs notes for a meeting. He’s been– uh, he’s been taking over ever since my dad left town.

Rj: Come on, I mean, I’m sure bill knows that the two of you can handle this right now. He probably wants you focusing on your marriage, right? Instead of crashing at his place?

Liam: Well, rj, there’s a reason I’m crashing at my dad’s place.

Carter: Thomas and hope really nailed the fashion preview. The coverage won’t stop.

Ridge: Everyone is eating up this collection. Here’s your line sheet.

Katie: Thank you very much. I just hope we can keep up with demand, and thomas and hope need to keep a professional boundary. They crossed the line in rome.

Carter: Yeah, let’s hope the public doesn’t get wind of what happened.

Ridge: Agreed. We need to deal with this privately.

Katie: Well, good luck with that. Once a professional relationship becomes personal, it tends to infiltrate a company, becomes scandal for the press. Hope and thomas got caught up in a moment, and now that she’s back, she needs to concentrate on her marriage.

Ridge: Obviously, brooke is concerned about this too.

Katie: Well, yeah. Hope doesn’t normally run around kissing other men. She’s always been so moral. She’s focused on her family, committed to liam.

Carter: It’s hard to believe she’s the one responsible for what happened in rome.

Katie: She and thomas were riding high off of the success of the show. I’m sure she’s come to her senses now.

Ridge: I’m sure that doesn’t help liam. You know how he feels about thomas.

Liam: Hey rj, I know hope is your sister. You love her. You’re looking out for her. I can take time off from here, right? The reason I’m in this office right now is because I want the distraction. If I just focus on work…

Rj: You wanna focus on work instead of letting your marriage fall apart, is that it?

Liam: Yeah.

Rj: Look, maybe tonight, instead of staying at your dad’s place, maybe you should just go, and stay with your wife at home for a little. I don’t know, man. Maybe this isn’t my place. I feel… if anybody understands needing some time away, it’s me. So I get it, all right? I’m not coming after you for that. I’m just saying when you do spend time away over something like this, it builds walls, and I’m just worried that those walls aren’t gonna come down over this. I think you just need to go and just talk to her before it’s too late.

Thomas: Yeah, it feels like we’re made for each other. Do you have any idea how incredible you are? You’re just beautiful inside and out.

Hope: Well, you… you make me feel… alive. And I never want this feeling to end. You bring out something in me that… even I never knew existed. You’ve evolved.

Katie: So, the whole time you were in rome, you didn’t notice anything going on between hope and thomas?

Carter: Seemed all business to me. It was very professional.

Ridge: They were just invested in making this preview a success, that’s all I saw.

Katie: Well, your son doesn’t have the best track record…

Ridge: All right, easy. I know he’s made mistakes in the past, but he’s changed his life around, all right? So, this has nothing to do with thomas backsliding.

Carter: It’s probably the hardest thing for liam to grasp.

Ridge: I’m sure it is, but he can’t blame my son for it. He should talk to hope.

Liam: Which acquisition? No, no, hold firm. They’ll come around. Yeah. Yeah. No, I’m good. Rj’s still here. I know, told him about the chocolate ice cream in the cafeteria. Dude just won’t leave.

[ Liam chuckling ] No, I’m fine. It’s okay. I’m all good. Thanks, bro.

Rj: Well, it sounds like wyatt can handle things. You’re allowed to focus on your personal life every once in a blue moon. Maybe you can come around too. Am I getting through to you at all?

Liam: Anybody ever told you how persistent you are?

Rj: I’ve been described as worse.

Liam: Here’s the thing. I warned hope so many times, right? I mean, I told her that thomas should be no bigger a part of our lives than he absolutely has to be.

Rj: Right. And you’ve been super supportive of co-parenting douglas. I’m not knocking you for that, man.

Liam: That’s not… I draw the line at work, right? I have voiced my concerns over and over again about thomas rejoining hope for the future as the lead designer. And we came to an understanding, or at least, I thought we did. And then all of a sudden, hope changes her mind, and now, I’m going, “oh, great. Okay, here we go again. Thomas never ceases to insert himself into our lives.” And now, guess what. All this time, I thought thomas would be the one who blew up our lives and it was actually hope. It was hope. It was your sister who turned to him.

Hope: I’ve never really known this part of me. And on some level, I guess, it scares me.

Thomas: Being with me?

Hope: No. It’s just what’s going on inside of me. It’s almost like something has been unleashed. But it feels… strong. Powerful.

Thomas: Yeah, strong and powerful sound good.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Who knows? Maybe, this is what my mom was talking about all those years, you know, following her heart. Maybe, this is what it feels like. I just know that, um… it took a lot to admit that… I’ve been thinking about you in this way for a while now, and I– I knew it was wrong. I know it’S… this is wrong, but I just… I had to give in.

[ Hope chuckling ] What I dreamed of… this is so much better. I’m hearing different ways for me to screen

Carter: Look, I know how proud you are of thomas. We all are. He’s worked really hard to better himself, and he’s really come into his own.

Ridge: Yes, he has. Thank you, carter. He turned his life around. It’s not an easy thing to do. He’s a good father. He’s a good son. He shows up, his work is impeccable. Yes?

Katie: Yeah. He’s a huge component of hope for the future. I mean, none of this would have happened without him. Hope made an impulsive mistake. She got confused, spending so much time with thomas. She promises it’s never gonna happen again. So, now, it’s really up to liam to forgive her and keep their marriage from falling apart.

Rj: I hear you. But are you– are you telling me that you really want a divorce?

Liam: No.

Rj: No?

Liam: No, I don’t want this. I don’t want any of this, rj. You know what I want? You know what I do want?

Rj: What?

Liam: What I do want, I want my life back. That’s what I want. I want the last several months back. Here’s what I really want. I want the hope I knew from before, back. That’s what I want.

Rj: You could get her back. Come on, liam, you have something worth fighting for. Right now, you do. There’s nothing like what the two of you have and you know that.

Liam: You’re a good little brother.

Rj: Oh, don’t– don’t give me that. I’m not in high school anymore.

Liam: I’m not– I’m not condescending to you. That’s not what I’m doing. I’m just saying it’s a little different when it’s your life.

Rj: That is life, liam. You have good, you have bad, you have ups, you have downs. I mean, come on, that’s every single relationship. Am I wrong?

Liam: No.

Rj: Look, you need to focus on the fact that you love hope. And more importantly than that, you also love your family. If you focus on that, you’ll be able to forget about the fact that she did kiss thomas.

[ Liam groaning ] I can guarantee this isn’t gonna happen again.

Thomas: You know, I never could have imagined this. How incredible it would be right here, with you.

[ Both chuckling ]

Hope: Well, lying here in your arms… I have to admit there… is a part of me inside that is just screaming, “what are you doing?” I mean, I don’t know what I’m doing. My husband left me and I understand why. And I hate that I hurt him, but all of this is just happening so quickly. I don’t know. I– I– I do feel like maybe I am losing my mind. Maybe I am crazy because I mean, I– I had it all, right? Had the perfect family and… yet, I just can’t stop… wanting you. Trying to control my asthma felt anything but normal.

Rj: Liam, you can get past all of this. You both have been fighting for your marriage for so long. You’ve got to find it in your heart to just forgive her this once. Okay?

Liam: Rj, do you know how excited I was to surprise hope? To see her face… when I stepped off the plane? And then when I get to the event, I find out that I was too late. Do you know what I did? I just… I just went looking for her. Do you know how insane that is to just start walking around rome in hopes that I might see my wife? But I got this idea in my head that, um, she might be at the colosseum. I don’t know, it just felt cosmic and as I was approaching, I started to, uh, fantasize, you know. Her turning to me… running up to me, embracing me, thanking me for coming halfway across the world to support her. But what I got instead, the surprise… I got instead was her standing there with somebody else. At first, I couldn’t make out who it was, but it was thomas. And the way… she was looking at him… the desire.

[ Liam scoffing ] That smile of hers. A smile I… I thought was only ever meant for me. And then the look on her face changed and then she leaned in and she just… she kissed the one man… that she always knew I hated more than anyone.

Rj: I’m sorry, liam. I think if you really tried and you really focused on what the two of you have together, I think you could just find it in your heart to forgive her for this.

Liam: I would like that very much… but like I said, I’m not gonna get that image out of my head. Rj… forgiveness ain’t in the cards.

Rj: This isn’t you. You are not a quitter! That’s not the guy that I know. And I know that you know in your heart that hope and you are what is right. What you need to do right now is you need to go out that door and you need to fight for your marriage before it completely falls apart and you live with regret for the rest of your life.

Thomas: You know, I– I think I know what’s going on inside that head of yours. You– you did your best. I mean, you– you really tried to save your marriage. You went to liam, you tried to talk it out and he didn’t want to have any of it. In fact, he jumped straight to divorce. I– I don’t understand how a man could do that to you. You’re such an incredible person. You’re so wonderful. You’re always forgiving. I just– I don’t get it. Any man should be grateful to be with you and I know that I am. I– I don’t wanna be a person who ruins your life. I wanna be a person who puts you first. Lets you know that you’re loved and that you’re the only one. Just you and only you.

Hope: You know, I meant what I said. That I’ve never experienced anything like this. This feeling. It’s just… I don’t know, maybe it is because we’re doing something wrong. I mean, I am technically a married woman and yet… I don’t feel ashamed. I mean how could I? What we shared was so… passionate. Was so incredible. But before I– I get myself in any more trouble than I am… I should probably go.

Thomas: Okay. Look, um… before you do though, I… I have a question and I want you to be honest. Is this… you and me, something you can actually handle? Tell me the truth.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Thomas… you’ve unlocked something in me and I have never felt more alive and I want to keep exploring that with you, but I also need to figure out what my next steps are going to be. So, until I get that figured out, can we just… can we keep this between us?

Thomas: Yeah. Of course. Take your time. H

Wyatt: Hope is your wife. She loves you. You have a beautiful daughter together. Just don’t take that for granted.

Liam: I’m not.

Wyatt: Okay. Hope hurt you. All right? But don’t let that cloud what’s really important here. Your family, your life with hope. Like– I– I– I know you still love her.

Liam: Yes, of course I still love her.

Wyatt: So then go to her. Start with, “I love you.” And end with, “I forgive you.” Just trust me, bro. You’re gonna regret it if you don’T.

Sheila: You know, I’m not sure how much time we have here together, but I just– thank you for coming to see me. I mean, really, I– it means so much that you came to visit. I– I– I try to keep my head up around here. But I am lonely. And it’s just nice to know that someone is thinking about me, that I really haven’t been forgotten.

Deacon: Well, like the song goes, honey, “you are unforgettable.”

Sheila: I’m just glad that I’m being remembered for the right reasons. Someone who doesn’t think that I’m hateful. You know, someone that actually has good memories of me. Oh, I miss you. I miss you a lot.

Deacon: So he’s already spilled wine all over his shirt, right? Then goes in for the tiramisu with the fork, almost puts his eye out. Finally, finally, he gets the nerve to propose. You know, he gets down on one knee, completely takes out the table next to him. I’m like, “this poor guy.”

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: We all know that proposals can be dangerous to your health, right? Oh, too soon?

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: Just tell me, did she say yes?

Deacon: Yeah. Thank god she did. I mean, I can’t even imagine the carnage had she said no.

Sheila: Then, that proves it. You see, there is definitely somebody out there for everyone.

Deacon: And I think people, sometimes they just get each other. You know, panic induced flaws and all.

Sheila: I am so happy for you. Really. I– I know that I am stuck in this hellhole, but I– I am so happy to see that you’re thriving. I mean, no one deserves to be happy more than you. I just wish I were there to share it with you.

Wyatt: Look, I know this stings, but we’ve all made mistakes. I mean, come on. Hope’s forgiven you for a few over the years.

Liam: Wyatt, this is not like, oops. It’s thomas, okay? It’s thomas. And she let him put his hands all– no, it’s worse than that. She had her hands all over him.

Wyatt: Okay. You know what? Listen to me. Listen to me here, okay?

Liam: I’m listening.

Wyatt: You’ve got to let that go. Hope loves you. And deep down I know– I know you don’t want this to end.

Liam: Rj.

Rj: Hey.

Liam: What are you– how are you here?

Rj: Listen, listen. I just came from talking with hope about the whole situation with thomas and she’s devastated. I know I’m just her younger brother, but hear me out. You gotta take her back.

[ Thomas and hope panting ]

Hope: Um, I have to admit that I have thought about this moment probably more than I should. Yeah.

Thomas: [ Laughing ] Yeah?

Hope: [ Laughing ] Yeah. What it would be like for you to touch me. To hold me. And I have to say, my imagination, um… wasn’t even close to the real thing. Where are you going?

Deacon: I know that you said that this place has taken a toll on you, but I gotta tell you, all things considered, you look pretty damn good. I mean in a, you know, female prison movie kinda way hot.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, they’re gonna come in here any second now and tell us that our time is up. But I really don’t wanna talk about this place, okay? Because it really– it sucks. It really sucks that I’m stuck in here.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Sheila: Don’t be. You– you have no idea what it means to me that you came to see me here today. Really, that there’s still somebody out there that… that cares about me.

Deacon: I will always care about you. Against all reason and my better judgment.

Sheila: [ Laughing ] Come on. You know, I’m fun to hang around. Never a dull moment.

Deacon: You are a regular carnival ride.

Sheila: Who knows, right? Could have happened if I just hadn’t messed up.

Deacon: Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Rj: Listen, I’m not excusing what hope did, all right? I know the whole history with thomas and everything he’s done to your family. I can’t even imagine the hurt of seeing her kissing thomas in front of the colosseum.

Liam: Yeah, rj, I’m not getting that outta my head anytime soon.

Rj: Look, I know, it’s gonna take time, all right? Hope knows that. But look, she’s willing to do anything to fix this, liam. Come on. You gotta fight for your marriage, all right? I think she deserves a second chance.

Wyatt: He’s right. At least try.

Rj: She loves you. Obviously, she really– she loves you. Just you. And despite all of this, I think that you still love her. I mean, you guys have been through so much worse than this and you got through it. And you got through it because you went through it together.

Wyatt: And you can go through this together too.

Rj: Liam, if you leave her right now, it would destroy her. Don’t walk away over one mistake.

Hope: It was amazing. You are amazing.

[ Hope chuckling ] This is so not like me. Oh, my gosh, thomas. You know, when I first started having feelings for you, it’s just terrified me. And not because of how you’re probably thinking. It’s more because I just didn’t understand it. And so I blamed work, blamed stress, I– I blamed my mom and her history and… her past mistakes and relationships.

Thomas: Do you feel like you’re making a mistake?

Hope: I hate that I hurt liam. And I hate that I hurt my family. I hate that. But how can this be a mistake when what we shared feels so right? I mean, it’s like how when we design and when we create together and you just are able to finish my sentences. It’s like you know what I’m thinking before I even do. You know what I want before I even know that I need it.

Thomas: I just drew thinking about you, your– your boldness, your drama, your sexiness. All of it I just… it was all just you. Every piece.

Hope: Something so beautiful, it just… it can’t be wrong. This has to be right. Febreze!

Deacon: I will always care about you, but–

Sheila: But nobody can know.

Deacon: I– I’m sorry.

Sheila: I’m not. I am not sorry for the time that we shared. I promise you, I would never mess anything up for you. Although, probably never happen being stuck in this hellhole, most likely for the rest of my life. It’s just, I– I can’t help but wonder what might have been… if we’d met earlier, or in another life maybe. I just really wish I could have your arms around me again.

Rj: I get it, all right? I sympathize with you. I understand what the stakes are here.

Liam: Have you ever been betrayed by the one person you’re supposed to be able to trust?

Rj: I don’t– I don’t know. Okay? I’m not telling you how to feel right now. I’m just saying you’re– you’re in a fight, okay? And you’ve been knocked down and that doesn’t mean that you should just give up. That– that is when you get up and you start fighting. Especially when you’ve got something worth fighting for, man.

Wyatt: Exactly. I like this guy.

Rj: Listen, hope has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, except for you. If anyone, anybody is capable of forgiving her, it’s you, liam.

Wyatt: He’s not wrong. I mean, if nothing else, you owe it to yourself to give your marriage another chance.

Rj: You gotta fight for it. Fight for your marriage. Liam, you need to fight for your kids. I– I guarantee you that if you just stop right now and just tune all of this out and just listen to your heart, it’s gonna lead you back to hope every single time.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: I can’t stop thinking about how you’re such a good person. You are. But I– I feel like I’m still kind of the bad guy.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Stop. Thomas, you’re not fooling me. Okay? I know who you are. And that’s not you anymore. You’re loving and you’re devoted and you are honest. You know, when it came to relationships, up until now, I’ve always been so afraid to act on impulse. Scared to, you know, I don’t know, chase after something forbidden. I mean, look at my dad. That’s a perfect example. I could think of a few others, but this…

Thomas: Yeah, sometimes you just– you can’t see what’s standing right in front of you.

Hope: Well, I see you and you’re not what people think. I mean, strong-willed and opinionated, sure, yes, but you are also… gentle, intuitive, creative. I mean, you couldn’t design the way you do if you weren’t all those things and more.

Thomas: I– you have no idea what that means to me.

Hope: Well, I see something else there too. You’re faithful. You’ve said that from the beginning.

Thomas: It’s true.

Hope: And you have no idea how much that means to me. More than you will ever know. (Michael) copd is harder on the folks around you, I think.

Wyatt: You’re a good brother, rj.

Rj: Hope’s always looked out for me. I’m just returning the favor.

Wyatt: You can do this, liam. You know you want to and don’t even try and deny it. And I know it’s gonna be hard. Of course, it’s gonna be hard. For both you and hope, it’s gonna be a lot of work, but she’s worth it. You know she is.

Rj: You mean everything to my sister, man. I think you should give her another shot, all right? I think she deserves a second chance.

Wyatt: Or at least try. I’m telling you, man, you’re gonna regret it if you don’T. Rj is right. Go to hope now before it’s too late.

Hope: I feel like I can tell you anything and you won’t judge me.

Thomas: You didn’t think you could do that with liam? Sorry, I don’t have to bring him up if you don’t want me to.

Hope: Well, I mean, if it wasn’t for liam, we wouldn’t be in this situation right now, probably, right? If he didn’t end the marriage so abruptly and go running to your sister. Ooh. Sorry. Yeah. I probably shouldn’t talk about that right now when we’re like this.

Thomas: Oh, I– I– I did it first. It’s all right.

Hope: Look, thomas, this is what I will say about that. You know my relationship with liam is complicated. And being with someone whose feelings are divided between two women that just– I know he loves me. And I know he loves my family, but I also know he loves steffy. And that’s just always been in the background. It’s always taken up space in our relationship, but I mean, hell, even he’s given into temptation a time or two, right? And I’ve forgiven it, but… I haven’t forgotten. And maybe it’s just been too many times over too many years and I just found myself wondering… what it would be like to be with someone where I came first. Where I was the only one. And when I’m with you, thomas, you make me feel like I am the only woman in the world. When you look at me like that, you make me feel… I don’t know, desired, respected… loved.

Thomas: Your heart is beating so fast.

Hope: So is yours.

Thomas: Wait.

[ Clears throat ] What about liam?

Hope: He decided to end our marriage. He walked out on me. Liam’s made his choice.

Liam: It’s ironic, isn’t it? All this time I was so worried about thomas and what he would do and how he would hurt hope and our family and– I guess, it never occurred to me that hope would be the one.

Wyatt: I can’t even begin to imagine how tough this is for you. But, like, is there any way that you can just dig deep and find some kind of forgiveness for– for–

Liam: How? How do I do that when hope is the one who betrayed me with thomas. I mean, thomas of all people. This is the one person in the whole world that I just– you know this already. It’s just that, this is not the kind of thing I can just get past. I mean, for me, for me, it’s unforgivable.

[ Electric door buzzes ]

Sheila: Come on, tate, what am I doing here? No one comes to see me anymore. I think I– I think I hold the record.

Guard: Today is your lucky day.

[ Door buzzes ]

Deacon: Thank you.

Guard: No touching. I’m right outside.

Sheila: Thought you forgot about me.

Deacon: Impossible. I’m sorry I haven’t come sooner. How are you holding up?

Sheila: Oh, you know, just… using this time for self-reflection.

Deacon: Babe, it’s you and me. How are you really doing?

Liam: Why are you looking at me like that?

Wyatt: I’m– I’m just– I’m– I’m– I’m thinking, okay? I’m– I’m playing something out here. You– you– you talk about what hope did, right? How kissing thomas in rome is– is unforgivable. But…

[ Chuckles ] …Is it really? You know, like, it– it– is there any way that you can look past this before it’s too late?

Thomas: What– what are we doing?

Hope: I… I don’t know. I– I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m doing because I guess I’m not thinking I’m just destroying my marriage and my family, right? Because something’s wrong with me.

Thomas: Whoa, whoa, stop, stop, stop. Hope. Hold on. You are the most amazing wife and mother. You’re the most remarkable person I’ve ever met. So I’m– I’m not going to let you tear yourself down. Sweet pillows of softness!

Deacon: I’ve wanted to see you so many times. And I just couldn’t, but I have to be careful.

Sheila: You don’t have to explain. I understand. Right? I mean, bill and– and ridge knowing about us, that just creates problems for you.

Deacon: No, I know. They– they– they said they would keep it a secret.

Sheila: You know, after everything that I put you through you, you’re– you’re still here. I really can’t tell you how much that means to me, deacon.

Wyatt: Look, you have every right to be upset here. I get it. Thomas has been trying to interfere in your marriage for years now. And you warned hope again and again and again, right? Yet, she was the one who decided to make a move on–

Liam: You’re really helping me out with this, thank you.

Wyatt: I’m just stating the facts here, okay? The damage is done. You can’t go back. But what you can do is decide where you go from here. You love hope, right?

Liam: Yes, of course I do.

Wyatt: Good, then– then it’s not too late to fix this, right? Think about it. It… [ Scoffs ] …It’s just one kiss and regardless of who it was with, is it worth losing everything?

Wyatt: Like, I know you said you want divorce but– but you were angry, you were pissed off at seeing the whole kiss. But do you want to, like, give up on hope and– and your– your wife and your family?

Liam: Hey. I hear you. I really do. It’s just, this is not the kind of thing I can move on from.

Wyatt: Okay. Well, I think it’s never a good idea to make a dramatic decision when you’re in the heat of the moment. And I think that’s what you’re doing right now. It’s– it is. Okay? I still think there’s time here to move on, to fix this, if you want to. It’s not too late to change your mind.

Hope: I’ll never forget that look in liam’s eyes when he said our marriage was over. That he wanted a divorce. It was… not just pain, it was… disappointment. Disappointment in me.

Thomas: Look, he was– he was probably just in shock.

Hope: No. No, he was… almost calm. Resolved. Like he made up his mind. So now I’m left picking up the pieces, wondering about beth and douglas, and what this is going to mean for them, and I just– I messed it all up.

Thomas: Hey, hey, hey. Please do not punish yourself.

Hope: No, thomas, whatever happens, that is my fault. This is on me.

Thomas: We have no idea what the future will hold. We don’T. Right? We’re going to get through this. I’m here for you. I will always be here for you, hope. Always. (Vo) when it comes to nature valley, which camp are you in?

Sheila: You know, I don’t want to talk about me anymore. All right? Let’s, uh– what about you? What’s going on? How’s the restaurant?

Deacon: Who the hell knew deacon sharpe was a workaholic. I mean, I’ve been busting my ass harder than I ever have. I’ve never been happier. I mean, it’s the craziest thing, right?

Sheila: No. I always… I always believed in you. And you have that drive. That’s something that we both share.

Deacon: It wasn’t always like that. I mean, when you came into my life, it definitely was not like that.

Sheila: Come on, you were just a diamond in the rough, right?

Deacon: Hmm.

Sheila: I’ve always believed in you, deacon. I mean, so many people, they just wrote me off but not you.

Deacon: I’m never going to forget that.

Sheila: Yeah. Sometimes I close my eyes and I– I just make believe I am sitting at il giardino sipping on a martini watching you charm your clients.

Deacon: Well, I mean, I can occasionally be charming. This is true.

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: Wow. I really miss that smile. That charm. I… I really miss you.

Wyatt: It was one kiss, man. Come on. It’s just– you’re not going to fight for hope, huh? You’re not going to give her another chance to explain? Like, I think you need to take a step back here and– and look at what you’re giving up. I mean, beth needs both of her parents. Douglas. Not to mention, the bottom line is you can’t deny that you still love hope.

Liam: Yeah, I– yes, I know, wyatt. That is what makes this so painful. Yeah, before thomas started infiltrating our family, hope and I, we had it all. We were building a future together, and I could see– I could see him trying to create separation between us. And I was doing everything I could not to let that happen. What I didn’t count on, what shocked the hell out of me, was that it was hope going after him. It was– it was hope who wanted him.

Thomas: You really think liam could be interested in steffy again?

Hope: He is. I know it. They were practically the last words he said to me before he walked out the door. So, yeah, there’s that. Frankly, I’m just trying to… deal with the fallout of my own actions right now. And I’M…

Thomas: Look, I’m– like I said, I am always going to be here for you. Right?

Thomas: As a friend, as someone you can talk to… someone who would never judge you.

Hope: It means a lot to hear you say that. That you care about me.

Thomas: Always.

Hope: You know, it’s been kind of a remarkable thing watching you turn your life around. I mean, it’s shown me that people actually can change, that it’s not just empty words and platitudes that, um… if you mean it, and if you want it… you can do it. Thomas, you have become… an incredible man.

Thomas: I’m sorry, I–

[ Sighs ] I can’t do this. – You like that bone?

Deacon: Sheila, no matter what’s happened, nobody can take away what you and I shared. And I can honestly say that I have never, ever met anyone like you.

Sheila: Well, that’s nice to know. But tell me, is there, uh… anyone special in your life now?

Deacon: I don’t have time for romance. I live and breath that restaurant. I’m going to make that the hottest place in town.

Sheila: I can’t say I’m disappointed to hear that you– you haven’t found someone special.

Deacon: It’s not so easy to replace the one and only sheila carter.

Sheila: Yeah. Some days I feel like I– I just have no hope. And then I– I think about you. I– I think about… the memories that– that we made together and– and that really helps me get through things here. I’m really thankful that you came, deacon.

Wyatt: Okay. Here’s what I want you to do. All right? Just humor me. Okay? Let’s try and… pretend that the kiss never happened.

Liam: Oh, my god. I wish I could!

Wyatt: You’d still be back with your family.

Liam: Have you ever met a human before?

Wyatt: Oh, my– liam. You’re upset. It’s thomas. I get it. Nobody hates that guy more than I do. But you can’t just walk away from your family. Don’t make a decision that you can’t take back.

Liam: Our marriage is over and you– and you always knew that it would be if you chose this. I want a divorce.

Hope: I remember when liam put this ring on my finger. How excited we were… to build a life together. A family. A future. And now I can’t– he couldn’t make the compromises that I have had to make for us. And it shattered. Our marriage is over.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Thomas: [Indistinct]

Hope: Yeah.

Thomas: Everything’s gonna be all right.

Hope: No, it won’T. Because liam saw me kiss you in rome.

Wyatt: Hey. Hi. I heard you were in here. Just didn’t know you were coming back today, considering– so how did it go with hope? That good, huh?

Steffy: I thought I made myself clear back in rome. Look, I– I know you’re going through a lot right now. You’re freaking out about what you saw. Hope and thomas kissing and maybe you think that you made a mistake putting your trust in hope. I don’t know. But I feel bad for you. I really do. But you can’t come here and kiss me. I am a married woman, liam. Happily married. You need to respect that.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: Tried calling you. You okay? I’m sure thomas freaked when he realized his secret kiss with hope isn’t a secret after all.

Steffy: Thomas was totally blindsided when I told him I knew about the kiss.

Finn: He had no idea that anyone saw him at the colosseum with hope?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Hm.

Steffy: He was pretty upset when I told him. And he was concerned about hope and her marriage and he urged me not to say anything. But he was even more stunned to hear that I heard about the kiss from liam.

Wyatt: So what happened with you and hope?

Liam: I mean, she apologized. She… asked for forgiveness.

Wyatt: I mean, I still can’t believe she’d do something like this. I mean, jeopardize your marriage just to kiss thomas.

Liam: Neither can I.

Wyatt: So? Were you able to do what she asked though? Have you gotten to a place where you can maybe forgive her and save your marriage?

Hope: You know, liam warned me. My mom warned me, but I insisted that everything was fine. You know, you were his biggest fear in our marriage. And what did I do? I– I kissed you. Me. I did that… to my marriage, to my family and now my whole world is… upside down. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Steffy: Thomas was shocked that liam saw hope kissing him. He didn’t even know liam was in rome. Thomas said that they were just caught up in the moment after the preview. That’s all it was. But honestly, he didn’t really have any excuses. He wasn’t defending himself. He just feels terrible and he doesn’t want hope to end up hurt.

Finn: But hope had no intention of telling her husband?

Steffy: I guess not.

Finn: Hm. Yeah, she put my brother in a terrible position.

Finn: True. But thomas is a grown man. He could have stopped hope from kissing him or, you know, never been alone with her in one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Steffy: Yeah. I don’t– I don’t see this ending well. We know that my brother has made changes in his life, wonderful changes, but… liam doesn’t buy it. He doesn’t trust him and now he doesn’t trust hope. And he’s always been able to blame thomas and he always sees hope as this innocent woman. And now I think he finally realizes that hope’s the issue and I’m sure he can’t get that image of hope and thomas kissing out of his head.

Wyatt: Do you think you could possibly forgive hope?

Liam: I would have to understand what’s going on with her first. Why did she do this?

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, she knows you’ve had issues with thomas for a while now. Like why would she do the one thing that would ruin your marriage?

Liam: I mean, she, you know, she told me she loves me. She asked for forgiveness, but she can’t explain why– she can’t explain why she did the thing that she wants my forgiveness for. And that scares me. I mean, how foolish do I have to be? Here I was traveling halfway across the world to show her my love and support. And it turns out she’s– she’s moved on, she’s fallen for somebody else in the eternal city, like, you know.

Wyatt: Yeah, if you think about it that way, it’s pretty egregious. But you’ve been in this situation before, liam. You’ve both made mistakes in the past and you’ve both been able to forgive each other for your sake and for the marriage and for the children.

Liam: Yeah. But… what do I do if it’s just a fact that I can’t trust her anymore? Because wyatt, I’m not– I don’t wanna be that guy that doesn’t have confidence in his own marriage. That’s constantly walking around wondering if his wife is cheating on him. That’s not who I want to be and it’s not who I’m willing to become.

Wyatt: Okay. You sound pretty resolved about this. So what– what are you saying exactly?

Liam: I’m saying what I said to her. I– I still want a divorce.

Thomas: Liam will get over this, okay? It was just a kiss.

Hope: You know he will never see this as just a kiss.

Thomas: Look, he has made plenty of mistakes in the past and you always forgave him.

Hope: No, I know. But this is the ultimate betrayal because it’s you. And I get it. I get it. So I um… asked for forgiveness. I fought for our marriage, and–

Thomas: How did he react?

Hope: Like I said, liam wants a divorce, so.

Thomas: I am so sorry, hope. I never wanted to cause you any more pain or heartache.

Hope: Thomas, don’t do that. Don’t, okay? This is not on you, it’s on me. I kissed you. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories.

-During an asthma attack,

Finn: Wait, so are you saying that thomas just took the heat for this? Did you tell him that you knew it was all hope that initiated the kiss?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. I– I told thomas it– it wasn’t his fault that liam saw hope lean in to kiss thomas and I was trying my best not to judge him. And honestly, I– I could tell that thomas has changed.

Finn: Well certainly, I mean, if he’s willing to sacrifice himself to protect hope.

Steffy: Oh, yeah. Like, he wants to protect her at all costs. He had some kind of like visceral reaction which shows me that he’s grown. He’s not this like little boy anymore. He’s like a man.

Finn: Or this could be a sign of how deep his feelings are for hope.

Steffy: Yeah, I think it’s apparent that the feelings are mutual.

Wyatt: So nothing’s changed for you? You still want a divorce.

[ Sighs ] Man, I– I’m sorry. I just– well, how did hope take it? I mean, I’m sure she doesn’t want that.

Liam: I mean, no, she was– she was fighting for another chance, at least at first.

Wyatt: Okay. But what about you? Like is this– this really it? Like you want a divorce?

Hope: No, thomas, don’t do that. I– I don’t want you feeling guilty. And yes, in the past, you may have struggled with certain things but this, what– what happened between us, that’s on me.

Thomas: No. Look, you were– you were caught up in the city. You were in rome, one of the most beautiful places and– and the success of our line. And I wanted you to bask in the glory of that and I should have just kept my distance.

Hope: Well, the thing is thomas I, um– I wanted to be close to you. I’ve, um, been fighting this for a while now and I’m not proud of it. I um– I don’t even understand it. And yet I still gave in, knowing the risks. I kissed you. And so, yes, maybe– maybe there is something wrong with me.

Thomas: No, no. Hold on. No, no, there’s nothing wrong with you. There’s never been anything wrong with you. You’re one of the most wonderful, loving, committed people…

Hope: Okay. Well, I– I don’t feel that way now. Because I might have destroyed my marriage. I might have destroyed my family and… for what?

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry? Their marriage work.

Steffy: Yeah, I just, I– I don’t wanna see liam hurt or my brother.

Finn: That’s because you got such a good heart. And you stand up for people and you have such principles. You know, I was thinking today just how grateful I am that I get to come home to you, every day. I missed you when you were away.

Wyatt: Have you thought this whole divorce thing through? Hm. Like, have you really thought it through? Because come on, you’re not the type of guy to rush to this kind of conclusion and throw your whole life away on a whim.

Liam: Of course, I don’t want a divorce, wyatt. I– I didn’t want any of this, but it happened.

Wyatt: Okay. Well, I thought that the love that you and hope shared could overcome anything.

Liam: Anything but this. Anything but thomas and I– and I had been clear about that for years, but she invited him in any way. She pursued him anyway. And whether she’s willing to admit it to me or not, hope has feelings for thomas.

Thomas: Okay, hope. Look, I– I think you’re taking this a little too far. Right? I mean, look, you made one mistake but that doesn’t take away from the years where you have been the most amazing and wonderful wife and mother. Liam, he– he just needs time, right? To– to deal with his initial hurt and anger.

Hope: Oh, yeah, he’s hurt all right. He’s so hurt that he–

Thomas: What?

Hope: He went to see your sister. Yeah, he wants steffy again. That same old song and dance and liam and his divided feelings. But when I’m with you, thomas, and you look at me… you make me feel like I am the only woman in the world. And so that is why… I will always remember the two of us in front of the colosseum.

Thomas: What are you saying?

Hope: Liam wants steffy. And I want the man who only wants me. I want you, thomas.

Hope: You’re home, liam. That’s a start. So let me prove my love to you. Let me fix the damage that I have caused.

Liam: I… I don’t think this is the kind of thing we fix. You kissed thomas and I had to force you to tell me the truth about it.

Hope: Liam, I am ashamed about what I’ve done. I never should– please just allow me the chance to make it better. I am begging you to please see the bigger picture, liam. Our family is worth fighting for. Please. Can you forgive me?

Steffy: I know, thomas. Hope kissed you in rome. Come on, admit it.

Thomas: Okay, fine. She kissed me, but it just happened. All right? I didn’t plan it. The last thing I want is for hope’s marriage to be ruined.

Brooke: Oh, I just can’t believe that liam saw hope kissing thomas. He walked out on her and he still didn’t come back this morning.

Ridge: Don’t worry, they’ll find their way back to each other.

Brooke: And what if they don’t?

Ridge: They will. We did. Something worth fighting for, you fight. I mean, if you wanna lean on me.

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Knock on the door ]

R.J.: Hey.

Ridge: Hey.

R.J.: How are you guys? Oh, well, it’s nice seeing the two of you together. Mom, how are– how are you doing? Are you okay?

Brooke: I’m concerned.

R.J.: Yeah, I know. I’m worried about hope too.

R.J.: Honestly, I wanted to believe that liam was gonna be there, but…

Brooke: Have you talked to hope since this morning?

R.J.: No, I haven’T. Seems like she needs her space.

Brooke: Oh, she may need us now more than ever. I– I don’t understand it. Kissing thomas like that. Why would she do that? Throw away everything that she has with liam.

Ridge: Well, you know, we may never know why she did what she did.

Steffy: Look, I know this wasn’t your doing. Hope’s the one. You’re not to blame. But that kiss, it changes everything. Hope kissed you. It’s her fault, not yours.

Hope: We have a future. We do. We have a life and a family that we need to protect, and I understand that what I did put that in jeopardy, but liam, I refuse to give up on us. I still believe in us. Please say that you do, too.

Liam: We have– we have been through so much. I– I wanted us to work. I wanted our family to thrive, but I– I can’t give you what you need. I can’t forgive this. Not you and thomas. The fact is, our marriage is over and you– and you and you always knew that it would be if you chose this. So, uh, you know… I want a divorce. Hi, I’m sharon, and I lost 52 pounds on golo.

Brooke: To be quite honest, I have had concerns about hope’s feelings for thomas for quite some time.

R.J.: Why would she kiss thomas?

Brooke: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe she got caught up in the success of hope for the future, and you and I both know what that’s like. All of the energy and the excitement and the intensity of doing something amazing together, and then add on the romance of rome…

Ridge: It’s still not excuse.

Brooke: No, I didn’t say it was.

Ridge: Well…

Brooke: I don’t mean that, it’s just, I’m trying to come up with some kind of explanation. Hope loves liam. She’s mortified by what she did. She’s going to fight for her marriage.

Thomas: Look, steff, this whole situation is, uh, complicated and really, it’s none of your business.

Steffy: It is my business if it has the ability to affect forrester creations and hope for the future.

Thomas: Okay, steff, please tell me you’re not gonna do anything to upset hope and liam’s marriage. I don’t want one little kiss to ruin her entire life.

Steffy: So, wait, you’re okay with everyone painting you as the villain just to protect hope? Well, the thing is, the truth is already out. Liam is the one who told me. Liam saw hope kissing you in front of the colosseum. He knows everything.

Hope: You don’t mean that. Liam, I know you’re hurt, but please… don’t talk about divorce. I mean, our marriage, it– it doesn’t have to be over.

Liam: What happens the next time you’re alone with thomas? I mean, between douglas and work, there’s always gonna be another opportunity for it to happen again.

Hope: No, no, it wouldn’t–

Liam: Hope, it doesn’t matter how much I love you. I’m going to be haunted by this every time you leave the house, every time I see you two together. That is– it’s not–

Hope: We can move past this. I promise you we can. I know we can because I’ve forgiven you for so much worse. I’m sorry, I love you. I love you.

Liam: Um… I’m gonna be– I’m gonna be staying at my dad’s until he’s, uh, back in town and we’ll– we’ll co-parent beth and we’ll– you know, we’ll make sure this is as easy on the kids as possible.

Hope: And what about us?

Liam: I love you more than anything. I don’t want this. But… you chose the one thing you knew I couldn’t survive. And let’s be honest, hope, you’re still not gonna stop working with him. You’re always gonna find new ways to keep him in your life, in our lives.

Hope: He is douglas’ father.

Liam: You gotta stop saying that ’cause it’s more than that. You have feelings for him. You are attracted to him. You want him. And what’s worse than that is that you’ve spent months accusing me of being jealous, of being controlling, of being unsupportive of your career. You made me feel crazy when you knew all along that what I was seeing was real. That– that, I can’t forgive. Of course, I’ve made mistakes. We’ve both made mistakes, we’ve both forgiven, but you’ve always known, not thomas, never thomas.

[Stomach growling]

R.J.: After what happened in rome, do you think hope’s marriage is gonna be able to survive?

Ridge: R.J.

R.J.: What?

Brooke: I don’t know. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it just doesn’t make sense. Hope’s always been the good girl, you know, living her life with principles and morals. I never thought that this would happen. I never thought she would risk everything that she believed in just for a moment with thomas.

Thomas: Hold on a second. You– you said that liam saw us? That’s not possible. He wasn’t in rome.

Steffy: Yeah, liam regretted his decision not to be there for hope and her line. So, he surprised her. He flew to rome. He wanted to show how committed he was to their life and their marriage and instead, he saw his wife kissing you. I ran into liam after you and hope kissed and I– I’ve never seen him so heartbroken and disillusioned.

[ Liam sobbing ]

Steffy: Oh, my god, liam. Hey. [ Sighs ]

Thomas: I– I don’t know, I feel like I should talk to him.

Steffy: What? No, no, no, you don’t– you don’t have to do that. Liam saw hope kiss you.

Steffy: He knows that she was the one who initiated it and you already know how liam feels about you. Look, I– I tried to convince him to be able to find some forgiveness. I just, I don’t know if he’ll be able to do that.

Thomas: I have caused hope so much pain in her life and I– I– I don’t want to be responsible for any more of it. I mean, that time in rome, that should have been a highlight for her and her life and her career. But instead it’s, like, gonna be some kind of dark cloud, and it could lead to the end of her marriage.

Hope: We’ve always found our way back to each other. Liam, the life that we have built with each other, with beth, that is worth saving, that is worth fighting for. And I know that I have made mistakes, but like you said, we both have and we have always managed to find forgiveness.

Liam: Like I said, if it had been anyone else, you know, we– we’d have found our way back. We would have. But… with thomas, I can’t, I just… I can’T.

Hope: So, you’re saying there’s no way forward for us? You’re closing that door?

[ Sobbing ] Uh… I, um… I just have to ask. Have you seen steffy since this all happened? You have, haven’t you? Wow.

[ Laughs ] Oh. So, maybe it’s– it’s not just me. That’s the problem here, right? I mean, you… keep mentioning thomas, but steffy has always had a seat at the table in our relationship and our marriage, and you did go see her, didn’t you? Let me guess, you want her back now? Yeah. Liam, that’s pretty predictable.

Liam: Hey, hope. I haven’t had a single thought about steffy. But I’m thinking about her now. You know everything thomas has done. Pain and the suffering that he’s caused us, and there has to be something broken inside of you for you to want him, for you to want that.

Hope: Maybe you’re right.

Liam: Yeah. Goodbye, hope.

Living with diabetes?

Brooke: Hope and I have had some painful conversations. I– I never thought my past would influence her the way it has.

R.J.: No, mom, don’t blame yourself for this. All right? Hope is her own person and she’s gonna fix her relationship with liam in her own way. Okay?

Brooke: Okay. But I’m also concerned about some of the things she said to me. Like she doesn’t want to be anything like me and how she has no desire to live her life like I’ve lived mine.

Ridge: All right, but you gotta understand that she was upset and you know how much she loves you and respects you.

Brooke: I think the reason she was lashing out at me was because she was starting to have feelings stirring inside of her for another man, the wrong man. And it may have cost hope her relationship with liam.

Liam: I have begged you so many times to keep thomas out of your life. And when you don’t, we all pay the price.

Hope: Okay, fine. Fine. Fine, I’ll tell him no. I changed my mind.

Liam: What are you saying?

Hope: I asked thomas to come back to hope for the future. Thomas and I are… going to be working together… again. Liam, I don’t want to hurt you. But thomas is my lead designer. He is my partner and… I can’t imagine being in rome without him.

Liam: Of course, I’ve made mistakes. We’ve both made mistakes. We’ve both forgiven. But you’ve always known, not thomas, never thomas. I want a divorce.

[ Knock on the door ]

Hope: Liam knows. He saw us in italy.

Thomas: I know. Steffy told me. I– I was gonna call but I didn’t know if it’d make the situation worse. Did you talk to liam? What did he say?

Hope: Well, I tried to explain it. I tried to make sense of it. That we weren’T… exactly thinking, but he did not want to hear that. And, um… yeah, after everything we have been through… liam doesn’t see a way forward for us. Liam wants a divorce.
