[ Relaxing music ]

Katie: This is why I left you, bill. But it’s also why I love you.

[ Bill sighing ]

Carter: You’re thinking about it too, huh?

Katie: You mean what happened earlier at your place?

Carter: Big step.

Katie: It’s a major step. And both of us kind of said “it,” without saying it, you know? We don’t need those three little words, even though that’s what we were feeling.

Carter: Are feeling.

Katie: Yeah. Mm-hmm. I know that neither one of us really wanted to rush things. Wanted to take our time getting to know each other.

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Katie: And I’m glad we did.

Carter: Me too. In fact, you know, you can stay here and we can keep getting to know each other.

Katie: Oh? Really?

Carter: You don’t need to go see bill, do you?

Sheila: You know– what– what is this room? I’ve never been in here before.

Guard: Your visitor, it’s another inmate.

Sheila: Another inmate.

Mike: Hey, doll face.

Carter: Bill’s made it more than clear that he wants you back.

Katie: Well, contrary to what bill spencer might think, he doesn’t always get what he wants.

Brooke: Oh! Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to interrupt.

Katie: Uh, that’s okay. I was just leaving. I have a date with bill.

Brooke: Oh!

Katie: I’ll see you later.

Carter: Have fun.

Katie: Bye.

Sheila: I can’t believe it.

Mike: Yeah.

Sheila: Oh, it’s really you.

Mike: Your old pal, mike guthrie, in the flesh. Surprise, surprise.

Sheila: It certainly is.

Mike: Believe it or not. I’m still in this place. We’re staying in the same five star high class joint. But I wanted to check on you and make sure you were okay myself. I heard about the heart episode. I was worried about you. How’s the ticker?

Sheila: Still ticking.

Mike: But you’re doing better now, right? I mean, look at you. You look like a mill.

Sheila: Oh, I guess it’s the, uh, the five star cuisine that they’ve been feeding me.

Mike: Glad to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor. Kind of hard not to. This place.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, I– I never thought… that I’d be locked up again.

Mike: Oh, yeah. Didn’t expect your savior, bill spencer, to double cross you either. But holy moly, babe, did he ever.

Katie: Don’t tell me you picked those yourself?

Bill: What if I said I did?

Katie: I would ask you what you’ve done with the real bill spencer.

Bill: So, I thought we would, uh, eat by the pool. The chef is setting it up now.

Katie: That sounds nice.

Bill: You know, since you wouldn’t have dinner with me the other night.

Katie: It’s not that I wouldn’t have dinner with you. I just had other plans.

Bill: Other plans. Hm. Like a yoga class.

Katie: Sort of.

Bill: Well. Since the other night didn’t pan out, I’m glad today did. I am seeing you here. In this house. The house where we raised our son. It just feels right, katie. Like you’re finally home. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Mike: Must be rough, being back in the slammer again.

Sheila: I– I hate this. Being locked up like a caged animal, just wondering if this is the way that– that I’m gonna be spending the rest of my life.

Mike: Don’t go there. One day at a time.

Sheila: Yeah, well, that might work for you, but not me. I spend every waking moment trying to figure a way out of this place.

Mike: Well, I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Sheila: Whose side are you on?

Mike: Yours. Always. I pulled a lot of strings to come over here, to visit you. I thought a friendly face might help. Look. You know how I feel about you. On the outside, I can’t compete with the forresters, those handsome chiselled jaws. But in here? Yours truly, not so bad. I mean, look around. Suddenly, mike guthrie’s a real catch. There. There’s that smile.

Sheila: I appreciate it. I really appreciate you, mike.

Mike: I bet I know what else is bothering you. I know how much you love your son. I bet you’re missing finn something fierce.

Sheila: You have no idea. But not to worry. I have a plan to see my son again very soon.

Carter: So basically, bill wants another shot to convince katie to take him back. You know, bill being himself, the man never gives up.

Brooke: Even though he probably should.

Carter: If that’s your way of asking me if I think if katie is totally over him.

Brooke: Well, I see the way katie looks at you, and it’s obvious your relationship is… progressing. I mean, bill must see that too.

Carter: Of course he does. That’s why he invited her over to the house. That’s why she’s there now. This is how it’s gonna go. Bill’s gonna remind her of their relationship, all the good things. You know, their marriage. And then he’s gonna go into the family they created with will, and then, he is going to apologize. He is gonna say sorry for hurting her over and over again. And then, he’ll promise never to do it again. And don’t get me started on all the jewelry.

Brooke: The jewelry.

Carter: I’m sorry, I’m saying more than I should.

Brooke: No, you don’t have to apologize to me. I know you care about katie.

[ Brooke giggling ]

Carter: Confession?

Brooke: [ Whispering ] Yes!

Carter: Earlier today, katie and I basically said “I love you” to each other.

[ Brooke gasping ]

Brooke: What? Really?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Oh, my god, I’m so happy for you two. I’m so happy.

Carter: Thank you. Thank you. And that’s why I think I’m so worked up. I’m just– I’m not crazy about her being with bill right now. I don’t trust him.

Brooke: Yeah.

Carter: Especially when it comes to your sister.

Bill: I still don’t know how he pulled it off. What was he, like five or six? And he– and he tapes $5 bills all over the wall spelling out “happy birthday daddy?” Right– right there. Right on that wall. So, I would come down the stairs and see them first thing in the morning. You remember that?

Katie: I– of course I remember it. I was the one who gave him the money.

Bill: Of course you were.

Katie: But the idea was all his.

Bill: Well, he always knew how to get on his old man’s good side, didn’t he?

Katie: He always worshipped the ground you walked on. He still does.

Bill: You miss him as much as I do?

Katie: Every moment of every day.

Bill: I miss his mom, too.

Katie: Bill, I know what you’re doing and… I haven’t forgotten our family and the wonderful moments that we’ve shared.

Bill: I’m glad to hear that. And there are more good times to be had, and there are more memories to make. As a family. As a couple.

Katie: Bill, I can’T.

Bill: Because of carter? People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Carter: Katie’s her own woman. She’ll make the right decision for her life. For herself.

Brooke: Carter, you don’t have to like that bill’s trying to win katie back.

Carter: Let’s face it, brooke. We all know bill loves you.

Brooke: Bill is a part of my past. A past that I don’t plan on revisiting.

Carter: I get that. And I understand, but still, katie doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s second choice. She’s too special for that.

Bill: You and carter, it’s that serious?

Katie: We never expected it to go anywhere. You know, we’ve been colleagues for a long time. We just started spending time together and we realized that… we like spending time together. I admire him and I respect him.

Bill: Okay. I understand that he comes with a lot of baggage of his own.

Katie: If you’re talking about–

Bill: I’m talking about, well, to put it mildly, that whole mess with quinn. A lot of people got hurt, katie.

Katie: Yeah. And nobody knows that more than carter, and he regrets that it went as far as it did.

Bill: Well, I have plenty of regrets of my own. Most importantly, not cherishing what you and I had when we had it. Losing your faith and your trust. Now, if carter can learn from his mistakes, can’t I do the same? Can you give me that much?

Katie: Of course. Yes, of course. I– I’m not angry. I– I’m not resentful. I am not trying to hold you to a higher standard. I care about you, bill. I always will.

Bill: But you care about carter more? All right. Look, um, I’m gonna ask you a question. I want you to be straight with me. What exactly is going on between you and carter?

[ Katie scoffing ]

Mike: Why would you expect finn, the son you shot–

Sheila: Accidentally.

Mike: Why would you expect him to come and see you?

Sheila: Okay. Well, you already know about my heart attack.

Mike: Yeah. So?

Sheila: Well, I put in a request to be seen by my attending physician.

Mike: Your son.

Sheila: Precisely. Mike, look, finn could have let me die, but he didn’T. I think that speaks volumes, don’t you?

Mike: Well, obviously you’re hoping it does.

Sheila: I’m still his birth mother. I’m the one that gave him life. And somewhere, deep down, I just, I– I know he still loves me. He’s gonna forgive me. He’s gonna accept me and I can’t just sit back waiting for that to happen. I’ve got to make that happen.

Mike: Never ceases to amaze me. Your willingness to keep fighting. But come on, sheila. You gotta be realistic. The fbi nailed you. You confessed to murder one. Those are some big obstacles.

Sheila: Yeah. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. And make no mistake, mike, I have the will. No two bodies are the same.

Sheila: Mike. I don’t intend on spending the rest of my life in this hellhole.

Mike: Like I haven’t heard that before.

Sheila: You’re doubting me.

Mike: Oh, no. No. I learned a long time ago not to do that. But I’ll say it again. The situation is different. You confessed to killing two people.

Sheila: No. No, not two. Just one, okay? The other one was an accident. Besides, I won’t be doing this on my own. I’m gonna have help from the outside.

Mike: Who? Sheila, I don’t mean any offense, but you’re poison. Nobody’s gonna touch you. Look, it’s time to face facts. Sheila, you’re gonna be in this place a long, long time.

Guard: You got a visitor.

Sheila: I do?

Guard: You emailed him.

Mike: Seriously, sheila?

Sheila: He got my email. He’s coming. Okay.

Mike: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Who are you seeing? Damn it, sheila. Answer me!

Sheila: I’m ready.

Mike: Ready for what? Sheila, come on, talk to me. Sheila, wait. Sheila! I love you!

Katie: I don’t wanna talk about carter and me. I– I wanna talk about you and me.

Bill: Well, I always like the sound of that.

Katie: I appreciate you too, bill. I do. And not just because you’re will’s father, but because of everything we’ve shared and everything that we’ve meant to each other. I can see that you are the man that I always knew you were, that you’re at your best. You’re the man who put sheila carter away for good.

Sheila: What room is this?

Guard: All right. Here you go.

Sheila: Oh, god, that feels good.

Guard: Make yourself comfortable.

Sheila: Thanks. Thank you for coming. You won’t be disappointed, I promise you.

Steffy: Amelia has the kids. Oh, we could go back to bed. Pick up where we left off.

Finn: Mm… I would love that more than you know. But my mom’s coming over.

Steffy: Yeah. Unless I call and reschedule.

Steffy: It is tempting.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: But I have plans, too. I have some unfinished business with someone.

[ Alarm buzzing ]

Sheila: [ Sighs ] You’ve got to find a way out of here.

Bill: So, let me get this straight. The two of you, on your own, without consulting me, acquired a streaming channel that no one is watching.

Wyatt: Well, I mean, I wouldn’t say no one’s watch– that’s why we got it so cheap. Do you see? Liam?

Liam: Uh, right. Yeah. So– so we just figured instead of, you know, building a new one from the ground up, we would acquire and– and rebrand an existing channel devoted to all things fashion.

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, just change direction. Update it a little bit. You know, movies, new and old. Documentaries that feature some of the famous designers and– and models throughout the years.

Liam: Uh, and, you know, interviews with up-and-coming influencers. Live coverage of– of shows.

Wyatt: All the award shows. It’S…

Liam: You hate it.

Liam and wyatt: He hates it.

Liam: That’s it.

Wyatt: Yeah, we gotta go back.

Bill: No. I love it.

Wyatt: What?

Bill: And besides, you guys deserve a new toy. You held down the fort at spencer publications while I appeared to be awol with sheila.

Wyatt: [Laughs] Yeah.

Bill: I’m proud of you guys.

Liam: Thanks, dad.

Wyatt: Aw, look at this guy. We’re glad to have you back.

Liam: Personally and professionally.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Bill: Well, no one’s happier than I am. I lost precious time, those… disgusting months with sheila. And I want to get it back. Starting with the time I lost with my katie.

[ Katie moans sleepily ]

Carter: Morning, sunshine.

Katie: Morning. Are you watching me sleep?

Carter: Mm. What can I say? I love looking at you.

Katie: I like looking at you.

Liam: So, uh, katie, huh?

Wyatt: So, she’s back on your agenda?

Bill: Never left it. I just got sidetracked. But I’m back now. What?

Liam: No– nothing. No, it’s just, uh… I don’t think– we don’t want to be negative.

Wyatt: No. Never.

Liam: But–

Wyatt: No. Yeah, just, you– you have a history with, um–

Liam: With katie. And– and with brooke. And…

Wyatt: Yeah. You– you really– you really believe you have another shot with katie?

Bill: Absolutely.

Carter: [ Chuckles] Ah, waking up, you… sleeping beside me…

[ Katie chuckles ] I done something right.

Katie: Mm.

Carter: Starting my day gazing at such beauty.

Katie: [ Giggles ] Well, you make me feel beautiful. That’s not all you make me feel.

Finn: You’re going to see sheila?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Why?

Steffy: I have a few things I need to say to that murdering psycho. I just want to see her. I wanna see her behind bars. Finally caged like the animal she is.

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, O.C. Keller. Any chance that I can get back on the, uh– the prison computer system? You know, I sent an email earlier. I want to see if I got a response.

Guard: Can’T. Visitor scheduled.

Sheila: Who?

Guard: You just gotta wait and see. Still living with odors?

Finn: Look, I just– I don’t like the idea of you being alone in a room with sheila.

Steffy: It’s prison. There’ll be guards. You have nothing to worry about. Though I love that you do.

Finn: Just what– why don’t you let me come with you?

Steffy: I want you to have a nice time with your mom. I’ll be fine.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: ‘Kay. I love you. I’ll be fine.

Finn: I love you. All right.

Katie: [ Moans ] Why can’t we just stay like this? Just stay in bed all day long?

Carter: That would be awesome.

Kate: Mm.

Carter: But duty calls for me, and you have a date with bill. [ Chuckles ]

Katie: Oh, my god, it’s not a date. He just– he just wants to talk.

Carter: Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

Katie: Maybe we’ll just talk about will.

Carter: Mm. You know that’s not true.

Katie: I’m sorry if it bothers you.

Carter: It doesn’T. I just don’t trust bill.

Katie: Well, I have a question.

Carter: Shoot.

Katie: Why are we talking about bill?

Carter: Bill who?

Katie: Hmm.

[ Giggles ]

Bill: You guys want a water?

Liam: Ah, no, we’re good.

Wyatt: Thank you. You– you and katie ha– have been through a lot together and– and not all good. Well, that could be said of any couple, wyatt.

Wyatt: True.

Liam: Uh, well, you know, I– I’m not sure just any husband falls for the wife’S… sister.

Wyatt: Yeah, dad. I mean, katie hasn’t been the same ever since you were with brooke.

Bill: Yeah, I know. I know, wyatt. I broke katie’s trust. But I can win it back.

Liam: Oh, he sounds really sure about it.

Bill: All I need is time and access.

Wyatt: And I take it that katie hasn’t been giving you either?

Bill: Not yet. But that’ll change. Not overnight. But I will get another chance with katie, and I won’t blow it next time.

Liam: And what about carter?

Bill: He’ll move on.

Wyatt: Well–

Liam: Okay.

Wyatt: I– it’s hard to argue with you when you’re this determined. You know, I mean, you have been known to pull off the impossible–

Liam: Technically, he just did.

Wyatt: Mm.

Liam: Right? With, you know, securing a confession from sheila, sending her back to prison for life.

Guard: Prison secure.

[ Door buzzing ]

Man on radio: Jail 5 and 7,

roger.

[ Door buzzing ]

Steffy: Had to see you in your natural habitat. I gotta say.. suits you. (Music throughout)

Bill: First thing I’m gonna do when katie comes back to me is whisk her off to the stella maris. A month, maybe two. However long it takes for us to really rediscover each other.

Liam: Yeah, cool. That’s– yeah. That’s– yeah. I– I mean, uh, I don’t know. Katie might have some trouble getting away. It just depends on the timing, ’cause, like, as if– if, say, it conflicted with the hope for the future launch–

[Cross chatter]

Bill: All right, all right. Can you just slow your practicality roll and allow me to do my visualization.

Wyatt: You got a vision board for that?

[ Liam snorts with laughter ] Put it up in the–

Bill: Keep it up, clown.

Wyatt: ‘Kay.

Bill: Keep it up. But watch, the two of us on the stella maris, and either before or after, we’re gonna do some house hunting.

Wyatt: Wow. You– you are really planning ahead here.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. Maybe too far, too fast.

Bill: Oh, here it comes.

Liam: I don’t know. Listen–

Bill: Here it comes.

Liam: I’m just– you– I love you. I’m just saying– I’m just saying it’s possible that you’re underestimating katie’s connection with carter.

[ Katie sighs ]

Katie: Wow.

Carter: Mm-hmm. You can say that again.

Katie: Ha. Okay. Wow. Mm, I think I have it solved.

Carter: What solved?

Katie: The problem with world peace.

Carter: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Katie. No, no. No more war. No more traffic-induced road rage. Even congress might get along. All they have to do is wake up with carter.

Carter: Mm.

Sheila: Problem solved.

Carter: I aim to please.

Katie: Seriously, no one could be in a bad mood after what we just did now.

Carter: Mm. You have a point.

[ Both moaning ] What’s that look?

Katie: I’m gonna ask a, um, slightly inappropriate question.

> Carter: Mm.

Katie: It’s just that I’m curious. What was it like with quinn?

[ Katie laughs ]

Li: So good to see you.

Finn: [ Chuckles] It’s only been, what, two days?

Li: Too long.

Finn: Hmm.

Li: Is this a rare day off for you?

Finn: Uh, I pulled a late night shift.

Li: Oh. So, you and steffy will pass each other at the door.

Finn: Hmm. Well, if we’re lucky.

Li: I know it’s challenging. You have the kids, two demanding careers. I assume that’s where steffy is right now, at forrester?

Finn: Actually, she’s at the prison. To see sheila.

Li: What? Why on the earth–

Finn: She wants to tell sheila how we really feel about her and the hell that she put us through. And not just steffy and me, mom. You, too.

Steffy: Surprised?

Sheila: So, why– why are you here, steffy? Are you here to berate me, humiliate me? Kick me while I’m down?

Steffy: Do I really have to choose?

Sheila: You could show just a little human compassion. You know, put yourself in my position, being set up by bill spencer. What if you found out finn never really loved you, that your whole life was just a scam?

Steffy: First of all, that would never happen. There’s no reason to scam me because I’m not a sociopathic killer. And second, hell will freeze over before I ever feel an ounce of sympathy for you. You’re getting everything you deserve. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Liam: Listen, regardless of how it turns out with katie, it’s really nice to have dad back.

Wyatt: Yeah. Vision boards and all.

[ Liam laughs ]

Bill: Thank you, guys. And– and look, I– I have nothing against carter. He’s fine. He’s a good guy. He’s not good enough for katie, and I told them both, I will fight for the woman I love. For my family. And I will win. Katie will come back to me.

Carter: No. No. No, thank you. No. Pillow talk with you about quinn is a lose-lose situation. I’m gonna pass on that question.

Katie: Oh, come on. Come on.

Carter: No.

Katie: I’m a modern woman. I can talk to you about anything. And I’m just– I’m curious. It just– it was so out of character for you. So, I’m asking because I really want to know the answer. I mean, what was it with quinn? Was it just sex?

[ Carter grumbles ]

Carter: Looking back, it was a bad time for the both of us. Quinn and eric, they were having issues, and my love life kept blowing up in my face. And… we felt very unseen. Except when we were together. Just ignited. And it was the guiltiest I’ve ever felt in my life. But to answer your question, there was a powerful attraction and it made for incredible sex. But in the end, that’s all it was, because she left. This. This, katie. This is real. We just made love. That’s so much better. In fact, it’s the best thing ever.

Katie: You’re right. It was love. And it is the best.

Finn: Sheila has messed with your life a lot longer than you and I even knew. And I know how we don’t talk about it anymore, but I imagine it’s still painful. Knowing that dad had an affair with her. That sheila gave birth to me.

Li: Honestly… I wish I never found out. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

Finn: Yeah, this whole sheila thing really tore our whole family apart.

Li: You’re right. My marriage didn’t survive sheila. But you did. Steffy did. I did. I won’t let my mind dwell on the past. The only thing that matters now is that you, steffy, and my precious grandchildren are finally safe from sheila carter.

Sheila: How can you be so cold? Heartless? You know, your husband, son, and I, we all share the same blood. Instead of you respecting that and encouraging a relationship between finn and his mother, hayes and his grandmother, no, you shut me out at every turn.

Steffy: And I always will. Count on that. Oh, sheila, sheila, sheila. You have no one to blame but yourself. Your crimes finally caught up with you and landed you in prison. And now you’ll stay here for the rest of your miserable life. And as far as my family is concerned… you don’t exist. Hayes will never know you.

Sheila: No, that’s not true, because… I’m his grandmother. Finn isn’t gonna let you.

Steffy: If you actually think that, you’re delusional.

Sheila: He’s my son. Finn may be mad, but deep down, he loves me. He could’ve let me die when I had the heart attack. But he didn’t, he saved my life. What more proof do you need?

Steffy: Fins saved you because that’s what he does. He’s a kind, loving man who tries to see the best in people. Even worthless people like you. But I’ll remind him of what a monster you are. And then I’m gonna wipe you from his mind. We will never think about you or talk about you again. My children, they are not gonna know your name. You will be completely erased. Guard?

Sheila: I am going to be back. I am not going to be locked up in this place forever.

Steffy: Guard?

Sheila: You haven’t seen the last of me, steffy.

[ Relaxing music ]

Ridge: My boys. Look at us, huh?

Taylor: Such handsome fellas.

Ridge: I know! And the forrester men back together, in this building!

[ All chuckling ]

Brooke: Oh, we are so excited to have you home, rj.

Rj: Good to be home, mom.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. I– I think you are– you are overjoyed right now.

Ridge: I am overjoyed!

Brooke: He’s beaming!

Ridge: And I’m beaming. Know why I’m beaming? Because I’m here with these– they were boys five minutes ago, now they’re men.

[ Rj laughs ] And the possibilities are endless.

Steffy: What are you asking, liam? Is there something more drawing hope to thomas?

Liam: That’s what I’m asking you. Do you think that?

Steffy: Like… what? The collection? Thomas coming up with these new designs?

Liam: No, not– not work.

Steffy: Okay, so… douglas? Their role as parents? Douglas is always gonna keep them connected. And you know that. The four of you have been navigating that for a while… okay, so if it’s not work or parenting, why do you think hope and thomas wanna spend all this time together?

[ Liam sighs ]

Liam: Listen, douglas is always gonna tie hope and thomas together. That’s not– I’ve made peace with that.

Steffy: But you’re worried about something else now?

Liam: That’s what I’m asking. Should I be?

Steffy: And I already told you no!

Liam: I know, I know, but the– ugh. It’s just the feeling. The feeling is not going away. I mean, I– look, I admit it. I thought that thomas was gonna be out of the company, right? I thought that he was gonna be out of hope for the future, and turns out that’s not true, and I’m trying to make peace with that too, but I also don’t wanna come off as this overbearing, overprotective, controlling husband.

Steffy: Okay, nobody thinks that. You love hope, you’re worried about her. Her well-being matters to you. There is nothing wrong with that. But I honestly don’t think that you need to be concerned about thomas having feelings for your wife.

Hope: I think you might’ve gotten here just in time, thomas.

Thomas: Why’s that?

Hope: Oh, to rescue your half-brother.

Thomas: Oh, yeah?

Brooke: Yeah, ridge has been putting on the pressure for rj to work here.

Rj: Yeah, well, too bad for him I inherited all of his stubbornness, so…

Ridge: And what else did you get? You got my ambition and you got your mom’s ingenuity. So this is not about pressure. It’s a proud dad saying, “there’s a lot of potential here.”

What are folks 60 and older

up to these days?

Steffy: You’re worried about hope having feelings for thomas?

Liam: What? No! No. I don’t think so. No, it’s just– [ Sighs ] I mean, something– something keeps drawing hope back to thomas. I just don’t know what it is, that’s all.

Steffy: She always likes to see the best in everyone, so.

Liam: Well, yeah, but that’s the– like, I keep, you know, I keep thinking of all the horrible things he’s done to her, and yet he’s still in her life.

Steffy: Yeah, okay, you can’t ignore the fact that they work together, they share a child together, raising a child.

Liam: I promise you, I’m not ignoring anything. If anything, it’s the opposite. I’m on high alert all the time, and I hate it. It stresses me out.

Steffy: Do you need me to tell you that you’re crazy?

Liam: Yeah, probably.

Steffy: I can’t stop you from worrying, liam.

Liam: And I can’t– I know that I can’t ask you to– I’m– I’m not asking you to do anything creepy or weird, like spy on hope, okay? It’s not your problem.

Steffy: Right, ’cause… that would be weird.

Liam: I–

Steffy: And crazy.

Liam: I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just– I just don’t know– I wanna know–

[ Groans ] I wanna know what I’m dealing with, that’s all. That’s all. I wanna know what I’m dealing with, and… maybe… I’ve underestimated hope.

Steffy: Underestimated her how?

Liam: I don’t know. I mean, you know, I– I keep asking myself, like, “well, how could she put up with all these things that thomas has done, all the things he’s put her through?” But, like, she puts up with me. She puts up with how much I care about you. She puts up with our history. She puts up with our family. She puts up with all of that.

Steffy: Yeah, but hope and i are past that. There’s– we don’t have any issues–

Liam: That– that’s my point. That’s what I’m saying. I mean, maybe hope just really is that generous, and… I can’t see it because… I’m not.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Liam, I– I gotta get to work.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Steffy: But just know that… thomas is in a much better place, okay? My father has forgiven him, and thomas knows how lucky he is to have it, have this chance, and I promise you, he is not gonna sabotage it. Okay? It’ll be fine. Like I said, I promise, all right? All right, I gotta head out.

Liam: Okay.

Ridge: My father built this company for his kids, and now I wanna share it with you guys. Thomas, can you please just tell him how good it would be to have him on board?

Thomas: Well, honestly, I– I don’t know if he needs to come on board, or wants to. I mean, I’ve been seeing the stuff you’ve been doing recently. It’s– it’s innovative, and I’m impressed.

Rj: Thanks, man.

Ridge: How is that helping, thomas?

Taylor: You know what, why don’t you just be happy that rj’s home?

Ridge: I am–

Thomas: Okay, look, look. Hey. You’re a forrester, right? You’re rj, ridge jr. If you want a place here at the company, it’s yours. You have birthright here as much as I do.

Ridge: Well said. And very true.

Rj: Come on, dad. You don’t want all of your kids working here, do you?

Thomas: Hey. Just know you’re welcome.

Rj: I appreciate it.

Brooke: Okay. I can understand why your father wants you to work here. I would love to have you here as well. But, we, as your parents, we’re not gonna be pushy. We’re going to allow you to follow your own path.

Ridge: Yeah. What your mom said, absolutely. As long as your own path, maybe it leads you back here into this office, that’s all.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Oh, god.

Ridge: What? When you dare to transform your hair

Liam: Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry. Hi!

Wyatt: I was just texting you.

Liam: I know, yeah.

Wyatt: You totally missed the meeting, man.

Liam: Okay, I– it was–

[ Laughs ] Got here soon as I could. Just a last-minute thing, wasn’t– wasn’t something I planned.

Wyatt: Oh, unlike this meeting that’s been on the books for weeks now.

Liam: Are you okay? Did you handle it?

Wyatt: Yes, I’m fine.

Liam: All right.

Wyatt: And yes, that’s what I do. Probably better you weren’t here anyway. You’d screw things up. Clients like me better.

Liam: Oh my god, yeah, you’re not upset at all.

Wyatt: I will be if you think you’re gonna get a free lunch out of this.

Liam: I mean, I’m a little hungry–

Wyatt: Nope.

Liam: Why?

Wyatt: ‘Cause you gotta work a little bit for me to be able–

Liam: No. Just–

Wyatt: No. Expense account–

Liam: One–

Wyatt: No.

Liam: One appetizer.

Wyatt: I’m gonna tell dad.

Liam: I’ll eat my spring rolls, you can give me the whole play-by-play of how you, you know, closed the deal and saved the company and yadda-yadda-yadda.

Wyatt: You know what? I got a better idea.

Liam: What?

Wyatt: How about you tell me where the hell you were? Because I know you, and I know something’s eating at you. So why’d you bail on me?

Liam: I was with steffy.

Taylor: Okay, so, sorry to interrupt. This is– this is pretty wonderful, huh?

Ridge: Yeah.

Hope: It absolutely is, because I can’t believe that rj didn’t tell anyone that he was coming home.

Taylor: Okay, well, if your mom had known, she would’ve– she wouldn’t have been able to keep it to herself. She would’ve been too excited.

Hope: Yeah, it’s true.

Rj: Hey, thomas? I think we need to have a little talk.

Thomas: I think I know what this is about.

Rj: You up to your old tricks again, thomas?

Thomas: Yeah, look, um… I did some pretty terrible things. I hurt both of our families. But I’m not gonna do anything like that again.

Rj: So I’ve heard.

Thomas: Yeah, look, I– I was ostracized from the family, from the company and it hurt, really bad, but it caused me to turn inward, you know, look at myself and figure out my issues and I think I did, so I think I am a different person now.

Rj: Okay. I– I hope so.

Thomas: Hey, we all change, right? Even you.

Rj: Listen, I– I’ve been away for a while, thomas, doing my own thing, but that doesn’t mean I was kept out of the loop. I kept up with everything, okay? So, like, I just– like I told mom and dad, I just– I don’t wanna get involved in any family drama, okay?

Thomas: I don’t wanna start any.

Rj: I still have to put you on notice. I can’t let you mess around with my mom and dad again, or my big sister.

Thomas: Yeah. I respect that.

Rj: Okay.

Thomas: So, we’re good?

Rj: Yeah. Yeah, we’re– we’re good. I don’t know, I figure if our moms could get along, at least become friends, there’s no reason we can’t be.

[ Taylor and brooke chattering ]

[ Laughing & chatting ]

Thomas: Yeah. You know, I, uh… I never thought I would see that happening.

Rj: Yeah, it’s gonna take some getting used to. Now, I’m not gonna lie, it’s actually one of the reasons I came back. Mom and taylor have been rivals, I think, for my entire life?

[ Chuckles ] Like, I had to see it for myself.

Thomas: Yeah, I know. I know. Hey, look, um… we, uh, we haven’t exactly been that close recently, but you know you’re my half-brother and we can change that, right? We can spend more time together and I think we should. Well, hey, I mean, we have the same name, right? But you got stuck with our dad’s name too, and that– that kinda sucks.

Rj: [ Laughs ] Yeah. Yeah, it’s definitely– it’s hard to make a name for yourself when you share yours with someone as legendary as ridge forrester.

Thomas: Yeah, no kidding.

[ Both chuckling ]

Brooke: Wow! Lots of laughing coming from over here.

Ridge: Yeah, what are you guys talking about?

Rj: Oh, you know, just the trials and tribulations of being forrester men, saddled with the insurmountable legacy of our amazingly talented and well-respected father.

Thomas: Well put.

Rj: How will we ever measure up?

[ Laughs ]

Steffy: Dad, charlie’s going on about some huge surprise? What’s–

Rj: Surprise.

Steffy: Rj?

[ Rj laughs ] Oh, my god. Rj! What? Oh, my goodness!

[ Laughing ] Oh, my god. I don’t feel my age. Why should my skin?

Wyatt: You missed the meeting because you were with steffy?

Liam: Well, ye– and traffic was awful, by the way.

Wyatt: Dude, we have been working on this deal for weeks now. I cleared my whole afternoon.

Liam: Yeah, it’s not like I wanted to be late, man. I– I just, time got away from me, I’m sorry.

Wyatt: Time got away from you.

Liam: I texted you and I told you I was running late.

Wyatt: Oh, must’ve been some kind of emergency, then, with kelly? Better have been.

Liam: Kind of.

Wyatt: Hm.

Liam: Kind of a mini-emergency. She left her homework at steffy’s, and then– and then we started talking, and, uh, yeah. That’s all.

Wyatt: About?

Liam: What do you think? Thomas.

Wyatt: Great. Our favorite person.

Liam: Who’s– who’s our server today? Is it–

Wyatt: Mm-mm. Uh-uh. No foodsie ’til you explainsie–

Liam: Why?

Wyatt: What’s going on? I thought you and steffy already got into this?

Liam: We did. We have. We’ve– she– she’s still insisting that I have nothing to worry about.

Wyatt: Is there any reason why you should be?

Liam: I– I– I want to believe her. I do.

Wyatt: Okay. So then you’re gonna stop bugging her? You’re gonna stop flaking on meetings and everything? Is that it?

Liam: Oh, my god, wyatt. It’s this one time.

Wyatt: Yeah, but it’s just not like you! You’re mr. Reliable! Okay, if this is gonna throw you off your game here, then you need to find some way to get past it. We got quarterlies coming up.

Liam: Then we want the same thing because I do wanna find a way past it, and that’s why i was talking to steffy. I want– I want– I want… assurance.

Wyatt: And did you get it? Because I don’t wanna hear that you bailed on me for nothing.

Liam: Steffy says that she and thomas and the whole family are in a really good place right now, so…

Wyatt: Aw. Terrific.

Liam: Maybe that means thomas will keep his damn head on straight.

Wyatt: Fine. I forgive you.

Liam: Aw–

Wyatt: A little bit. A little bit. Because I know steffy and the family have been going through a lot lately, with the sheila thing and ridge going mia and thomas disappearing and reappearing like a magic act.

Liam: See? You get it. Forresters need all the good news they can get right now. And I need all the bruschetta I can eat right now. Please? Please? Please.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: Yes!

Steffy: I can’t believe you’re here. Where have you been hiding? Why didn’t anyone tell me that you were here?

Rj: Well, nobody knew.

Brooke: He just showed up.

Rj: Yeah, I wanted to surprise everybody.

Steffy: Well, you succeeded. Look at dad’s face.

Ridge: What about my face?

Steffy: Your face. [ Laughs ] No, it’s lit up. So is brooke’S.

Brooke: I know. We’re so happy.

Steffy: I can tell. Especially dad. You must be so happy to have your son back. No offense, thomas.

Thomas: No taken, stef.

Taylor: [ Chuckles ] And these two are actually getting along.

Steffy: Kinda like you and brooke.

Rj: Steffy, you’re still a rock star.

Steffy: Obviously. See, this is the kind of energy we need around here, okay?

Rj: Oh, no, please, don’t you also start. He’s– he’s enough to handle. You’re a whole lot tougher.

Thomas: She is pretty tough.

Steffy: Yeah.

Rj: Nothing can keep you down, steffy.

Steffy: I could say the same about you, mr. Adventure-seeker. What, you were, like, scaling mountains and jumping off of them? So, what are you doing now? What brings you back to L.A.?

Rj: Aw, you know, I’ve just got some opportunities, but i really wanna just stick around, spend some time with my family.

Steffy: I think that’s an excellent idea.

Brooke: I think it’s a great idea. Yeah.

Ridge: And you know what? We still haven’t figured out what he’s gonna do for a job while he’s here, but that can wait. We don’t have to do that right now, just because I have a request.

Rj: If he tells you to offer me a job, I already have one.

Ridge: Okay, “request” is not the right word. I– I have, um… I have an idea. And this is something that would mean a lot to me, and it’s actually the first time we can do it, because these two ladies finally get along, and I’m totally on board.

Taylor: Okay, what– what is it? What?

Ridge: Can we just all get together and have a picture of the two mothers and all the kids? Can we do that, please?

Brooke: Oh, a picture? Yeah. We should do that. Let’s do it. Okay, rj, come here!

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Hope: Here, I can take it.

Ridge: No! I– no, you’re gonna be in the picture.

Hope: Okay, so then are you gonna do it?

Ridge: Hang on. Yeah, you need to be in it because you’re not my daughter, but you’re part of my family, have been for a long time, so.

Hope: Okay. I love that.

Ridge: Okay. You. Eat your heart out. This is how you do selfies.

Rj: Oh, all right, dad.

Steffy: Gotta turn it the other way.

Rj: Come on, show me how it’s done.

Ridge: I got it! This, right?

Taylor: Well, you– yeah.

Steffy: Go like that.

Rj: There you go.

Ridge: Oh, yeah, yeah.

Steffy: Okay, your thumb’s–

Ridge: I can’t even believe–

[ All complaining ] Hey, shh, shh! Stop, stop, stop! Just take a moment, take this moment. Look at us. We got half-brothers and half-sisters and mothers and dads, and we’re all here, and… people always tell me I– I have two families, and I don’T. I have one. One beautiful, blended family, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

[ Mouthing ] Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Taylor: Very nice speech.

Ridge: All right, we’ll start from the beginning. Okay, what do I do?

Steffy: Hit the button.

Taylor: Make sure you get all of our heads.

Rj: There you go. Big circle.

Ridge: Yeah, yeah. I know!

Brooke: You got it.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: No, don’t go–

Taylor: Don’t go up.

Ridge: Okay, ready?

Brooke: Okay.

surprise, little brother. Although, look at you now, not so little anymore.

Ridge: If we’d known you were coming, we could’ve thrown you a party with big “ridge jr.” Banner.

Brooke: Oh-ho!

Rj: That– that would’ve been fun, but honestly I’m– I’m happy to spend some alone time with my parents and my sister, my favorite people on the planet, but seriously I– I really did miss you guys.

Brooke: We missed you, rj.

Ridge: Life is just not the same without you here.

Brooke: The baby of the family. Always knew you’d come back home.

Hope: Now, we just need to find a way to convince rj to stay forever.

Brooke: Yes!

Ridge: Oh, I know how to do that.

[ Brooke gasps ] One more group hug!

Brooke: Oh! Yes!

Ridge: Yeah, come on, check it out.

Hope: All right.

Ridge: See? That’s it, done.

[ All laugh ]

[ Brooke sighs ]

Taylor: Well, this is– this is big news, right? I mean, here at forrester and in the family?

Thomas: Yes, my half-brother is back in town.

Taylor: Yeah, I bet brooke is so excited.

Thomas: Yeah, dad too.

Taylor: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, I bet he’s really excited. I’m sure he’s feeling really proud right now, having all of his kids in one city. You, steffy and his only child with brooke. How do you feel about it, mom?

Finn: Wow, did I win the lottery or what?

[ Steffy laughing ] Every morning, I get to wake up and see your beautiful face. This incredible force of a woman just lying there, snoring her head off.

Steffy: Stop that! I do not snore!

Finn: When I first heard it, I thought it was the sea lions on the beach.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Or like a wild parrot.

Steffy: Stop. No, I don’T.

Finn: No, in fact it was my gorgeous wife just laying there, drooling just a little bit.

Steffy: Whatever, you know you love it.

Finn: I do. I love everything. I love everything about you.

Steffy: Don’t even.

[ Finn grunts ] Do not talk to me about snoring.

Finn: Oh, does the truth hurt?

Steffy: Yeah. You know, especially after a night of one of your overnight shifts and you come in like a 90 year old man, sounds like you have a chainsaw, just like cutting down trees–

Finn: Yeah, okay.

[ Steffy imitating a chainsaw ] Okay yeah that’s, um, that is accurate, that’s a good one. Okay, you got me there.

Steffy” well the truth hurts, so.

Finn: Does it? Come here.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Liam: Hey, steffy? Oh, sorry.

Steffy: No.

Finn: No, no worries liam, come on in.

Liam: I know I’m interrupting, I know that, I’m sorry.

Finn: No, no we were just, you’re not– we were just talking about steffy’s snoring.

Steffy: Don’t even think about weighing in.

Liam: I– don’t– dude, I plead the fifth.

Steffy: Smart man.

Finn: Yeah, very smart.

Steffy: Oh, I have kelly’s homework for you.

Liam: Ah, thank you, thank you, thank you. Um, do you have a second?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. What’s, uh, what’s goin’ on?

Thomas: You, uh, you haven’t given me an answer.

Taylor: Huh? Oh, what about rj being home? I mean, am I happy? Yeah, why?

Thomas: I mean, look he’s– I know that you– you like him, he’s a good kid. Got no issue with him.

Taylor: Of course not, honey. I mean, come on, he’s– he’s ridge’s son, he’s your brother.

Thomas: Half-brother.

Taylor: Whatever. He’s family.

Thomas: Right.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Dad and brooke created him together.

Taylor: You mean they–

Thomas: Oh my god.

Taylor: Is that how conception works?

Thomas: Haha, mom, I’m just saying that him being back, it could change all the dynamics.

Taylor: Maybe, I don’t know. How do you feel?

Rj: Hope, you’ve been seriously killing it. The line is so hot right now, not to mention all the philanthropy it’s generating.

Hope: Aw, thank you, rj. That’s so sweet and thank you for letting me run ideas by you.

Ridge: Ah-ha! So, you’ve been paying attention to the family business after all.

Hope: Oh, let me guess, your dad is already trying to recruit you to work here.

Brooke: His father would like nothing more.

Ridge: No, all I’m saying is that, you know, your sister and I, we run this joint, so we can probably find you a nice table next to donna and pam.

[ Rj chuckling ] Angel soft toilet paper is… strong… and soft!

Steffy: Liam, I understand you wanting reassurance about thomas and trust me, it wasn’t easy for me to forgive him too, I was upset.

Finn: I was hesitant. But, I saw how important it was to taylor and the family, so I sucked it up and I’m glad I did.

Steffy: Yeah, me too, and it’s nice having thomas back in our lives. Look, I wouldn’t have forgiven him if I didn’t truly believe he’d changed.

Liam: I know, I know, I know, I just– I wish it were that simple for me.

Steffy: I…

Finn: Okay, I know it’s more complicated for you, liam, but, uh, I gotta work.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah I gotta get to the office too so, uh.

Finn: Why don’t you, uh, call me about this later?

Steffy: Okay, I’ll call you. I love you.

Finn: All right. Have a good day.

Liam: I– I don’t want to put you on the spot, I swear. The problem is that I trust you. You’re telling me thomas is improving, he’s really working on himself, he’s making great strides, okay, cool. What’s the degree, though? Like, uh, like how much of a change are we talking about? Is this a radical change? Is this enough of a change that I don’t have to worry about him working with my wife all day and all night?

Taylor: I feel like I kinda asked you first, but okay, fine. How do I feel about rj being back? I’m happy, I am– I am– okay here, I am happy that brooke and ridge have their son back home.

Thomas: Are you though, really?

Taylor: Yes! Am I happy that they have their son back home? Of course, I am! I mean, I know what it was like, you know, when I was away from you, thousands of miles away. It’s A… it’s a terrible feeling, you know? And rj, rj left home when he was so young, you know. He was probably like, what, this big? And now, he’s probably, like, this big?

Thomas: Kinda like this big. He’s like– he’s big. He’s almost out of school!

Taylor: You know what, babies are always gonna be our babies and you’re gonna feel the same way about douglas when he gets older. I mean, I… I look at you and I cannot believe how old you are.

Thomas: Thanks.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Taylor: Come on, if you’re old, then I’m ancient. Come on, it’s gonna be nice to see your half-brother.

Thomas: Yeah, it is. It’ll be great and I’m– and I’m looking forward to catching up with him.

Taylor: Good, I mean, I think there’s going to be a lot to catch up on, I– I do. And hopefully you and steffy are going to be able to spend a lot of time with him, you know? It’s important. Um, don’t think I don’t notice you are still dodging the question.

Taylor: Yeah, I… I do seem nervous. I– I– I know that there are some factors at play here and you’re wondering how I feel about rj being back and if, um, if I think his presence is gonna get ridge and brooke back together and I would say… probably so.

Ridge: I’m only kidding! You wanna come work here, you get your own office and we’ll put “rj” or “ridge jr.” Or– or “mr. Forrester” on the door.

Brooke: Well, now that’s a pretty sweet deal, rj.

Ridge: It is and I’ll make it even sweeter. You know what? Own parking spot, next to mine.

Rj: You’re crackin’ me up.

Ridge: What?

Rj: You’ve– you’ve gone from offering me an internship to just, like, handing me the keys to the company.

Ridge: I’m not a good negotiator, everybody knows that.

Rj: No offence, dad, but come on, you know how I feel. This is a fashion house, forrester creations. It’s a company that granddad and grandma built from the ground up. One that mom helped innovate, one that you and steffy have been running like pros and that’s awesome and I’m proud of this place and everything you guys have accomplished but… I really wanna try to do my own thing, you know? Establish my own identity.

Ridge: By being an influencer?

Rj: Yeah, I’m– I’m building my brand. I’ve got a lot of followers. I’ve– mom, hope, can you please back me up on this?

Hope: He does have a ton of followers. He is doing quite well.

Brooke: Yes, he is. Gosh, so much pressure, right? Sorry, honey. Will you stop, please? Don’t drive our son away before he’s even spent one night here. – They get it.

Steffy: Here.

Liam: Thank you. Here’s the thing, you’re just– you’re the only person I know who is both close to thomas and at least capable of being objective about him.

Steffy: Liam, I wouldn’t lie to you. If I had any misgivings about thomas, if I doubted him, then I wouldn’t have accepted his apology. I wouldn’t have rehired him at forrester. Remember, we were not in a good place.

Liam: Oh, I do remember.

Steffy: I blame thomas for taking away my parents’ chance at a future together.

Liam: As you should have.

Steffy: And we hit a rough patch and I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to trust him again.

Liam: So, what– what now? Is it– is it just that you, like, feel it in your bones? I mean, you sure you’re not caving into pressure because it’s the sisterly thing to do?

Steffy: I truly believe thomas is a different person.

Liam: Really? Like, what– so, what made the difference for you?

Steffy: I know my brother. I know when he’s struggling and I can sense when there’s something to be concerned about. And right now, all I feel is… his calmness, his humility, his determination. Thomas is not hung up on hope anymore. He is focused on being a dedicated father and a designer and my father and my mother sees it too. I gotta tell you, it’s– it’s really a wonderful time for our family.

Thomas: Okay, so, you– you do think that rj being back in town could bring dad and brooke back together?

Taylor: There is no doubt in my mind.

Thomas: And you’re– you’re, what? You’re just cool with that?

Taylor: I am– I am– I am– I don’t know, I’m indifferent? I don’T… you know, they– they share a child together and…

Thomas: Yeah, dad shares multiple children with you.

Taylor: Oh– oh, yes and… this isn’t just about sharing a child, obviously. You know, there… brooke and ridge are gonna wanna spend time together with the family and– and, because that’s what families do and– and you and steffy are gonna be a part of that. And you know what? I’d even be able to have some big, crazy dinner with both families, which could be kinda fun.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: Come on. We can put the “fun” in dysfunctional.

Thomas: Mm.

Taylor: It’ll be really good to see rj.

Thomas: Okay, yeah, well as much fun as we could have, um, this could still cause you a lot of pain.

Taylor: I trust my friendship with brooke and all I care about is honesty and transparency from her when it comes to ridge because that’s what our pact is. Friends first.

Brooke: Ooh, I can’t believe you’re back, I just don’t wanna let you go.

Hope: Mom, I don’t think he can breathe.

Brooke: Oh, I’m not squeezing too tight, am I honey?

Rj: No, no, you’re fine, mom. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss your hugs.

Brooke: Oh, my sweet boy.

Ridge: Also, we have a gym here at forrester, I don’t know if you knew that.

Rj: Yes, I know we have a gym, dad.

Ridge: It’s open 24 hours. You could take pictures of yourself in the mirror, doing whatever you guys do.

Rj: That’s very funny, dad, but, you know, that’s not really my kinda thing. That’s a nice pose though.

Ridge: Thank you and we could work out, once a month or whatever, you know, you think is appropriate.

Hope: Okay, you know what? He only just got home and I don’t think we should be pushing so hard to get him to work here just yet. I don’t want him feeling cornered, so–

Rj: No, it’s okay, I don’t feel cornered. I know my dad’s just lookin’ out for me.

Ridge: I am looking out for him, that’s what I’m doing.

Hope: Okay.

Ridge: Also looking out for the company a little bit because I know how talented you are and you could help us.

Rj: Thank you, dad. That’s high praise coming from you, actually. I really appreciate it, but… I mean, I don’t know, I– I just, I really wanna try to do my own thing, you know?

Ridge: Well, I hope that doing your thing will bring you back to this office, working with me. Martial arts is my passion.

Taylor: I don’t wanna talk about me anymore, I wanna talk about you and how you feel about ridge jr. Being home.

Thomas: Okay, look, I don’t exactly know what you mean. Like, how do I feel about what?

Taylor: How do you– thomas. How do you feel about your half-brother being home?

Thomas: I don’t know. Good, I guess? Look, it’s– it’s not like we, uh, hang out all the time and like you adorably pointed out, um, I am much older than him, like really old apparently.

Taylor: Super old.

Thomas: But at least not ancient. Okay look, and especially after everything that’s gone down recently… I don’t know, look, I’m sure that we’ll get together and we will bury the hatchet.

Taylor: Hm, I think that’s a good idea and there is no time like the present. Come on, let’s go.

Thomas: Why do you have to be so pushy?

Taylor: Uh, have you met me? Come on, let’s go, age before beauty.

Thomas: Ancient before old.

Taylor: Oh, my god, you did not.

Thomas: Yup.

Taylor: Come, thomas, let’s go. Come on!

[ Thomas sighing ]

Steffy: Don’t feel bad for having reservations.

Liam: Huh, reservations. That’s– that’s, uh, diplomatic, especially when hope’s spending her entire work day with thomas, well into the night.

Steffy: Well they’re– they’re creating a line, that’s what designers do and there’s a lot of pressure to perform.

Liam: I know. You know what? You’re– I– I know that, you’re right. I’m proud of hope’s career, I want to be supportive, I want her to succeed. It’s– it’s just that when it comes to thomas specifically, she… I don’t wanna talk this to death and– and hope knows how I feel.

Steffy: Your opinion has changed?

Liam: I can’t really put my finger on it, I just… I started thinking maybe it’s not just thomas. Maybe there’s something… with hope that keeps bringing her back to him.

Ridge: Door is always open.

Brooke: I think he gets the picture, ridge.

Hoep: Yeah, loud and clear.

Ridge: What he doesn’t get is that he was given a talent. Same talent that your grandfather has and thomas, zende, sometimes me. It’s a gift, you can create things. But you have something else and that could make you the best out of all of us because you inherited your mom’s brain.

Hope: Okay, ridge is right there.

Ridge: Yeah.

Hope: You got the best of both worlds and while I don’t want to add to the arm-twisting by ridge sr. Over here, working here does have its perks.

Rj: Oh, no, there’s no doubt about that. The work you guys do here is amazing and it’s known worldwide, I mean… I’m not gonna lie too, it has opened some doors for me but… I just, I wanna try to pave my own way, whatever that is.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh, there he is.

Rj: Taylor, hey!

Taylor: Hey. Wow, look at you, it’s wonderful to see you!

Rj: It’s great to see you too. Thomas.

Thomas: Little brother. It’s good to see you. I missed you.

Rj: It’s good to see you too. I, uh, I was just sayin’ how I’ve been keeping up with hope for the future. Dude, incredible work, truly. You’ve– you’ve really developed into a world-class designer.

Thomas: Thanks, man. I appreciate that.

Rj: But, uh, I do believe your success is because you take after dad.

Thomas: Our weird, mischievous father.

Ridge: What– what is that? Where’s that comin’ from? There’s nothin’ weird about me. I created the two of you, right?

Thomas: That’s a good point, yeah sure.

Ridge: It’s not a question, it’s a great point!

Thomas: Sure, yeah.

Ridge: My two boys, all grown up. This is the kind of moment that a man, a father lives for, ’cause I helped raise both of you with these two amazing women. I love you guys. Glad you’re home.

[ Brooke laughs ]

Rj: Aw, nice. Look at us.

Brooke: Look at us. Rj, I– I still can’t believe you’re here.

Rj: The look on your face when you saw me… priceless.

Ridge: It was good.

Rj: Hey, don’t you laugh too hard. I got you too.

Ridge: You know what? Your surprise was so good, you almost didn’t make it in the building.

Rj: Almost. Keyword almost. All right? Ridge forrester jr. Always finds a way.

Ridge: Apparently, he does. Yes.

Brooke: Okay. You know what? You can play a trick like that on me anytime you want as long as it means you’re home, okay?

Thomas: Sorry, mom. Just… just one more second. When inspiration hits, you know?

Taylor: Oh, no, I do. I do know actually. You know, inspiration always used to hit your dad when we were just sitting down for dinner. So, I always… always kept extra napkins laying around so he could sketch on ’em.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah. No, I remember. Um, okay. Sorry. Uh, what’s up?

Taylor: Um, it’s kind of annoying. I stopped by to really just see how things are going with hope.

Thomas: With hope?

Taylor: Yeah.

Thomas: They’re great.

Taylor: Okay. So, I have to ask. No urges or desire?

Thomas: That’s a very weird conversation to have with my mother.

Taylor: That’s a very fair conversation considering everybody’s worried. So…

Thomas: Okay. Mom, I– I promise I’m not having any urges or desires. Okay.

[ Laughs ] I– I’m not gonna try and manipulate anyone or force you and dad together. I– I honestly, I just wanna be the best designer I possibly can and I wanna prove to everybody that they can trust me, especially you.

Taylor: Oh. You don’t need to prove anything to me. I– I’m not the one, you know. I wouldn’t have backed you if I didn’t trust you. You know that, right?

Thomas: Yeah. I– I appreciate that. Thank you. I’m great.

Taylor: I know you are. You’ve done a lot of work on yourself and it’s all paying off, and I’m very proud of you. So is your dad.

Thomas: Aw. Thanks, mom.

Taylor: Yeah.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Thomas: I get it. I get it. Look, I’ve made strides before forward and then I fall back and I appreciate you looking out for me.

Taylor: Yeah. Look, you’ve– you are working harder than you’ve ever worked before and it shows, you know. But doesn’t mean that it’s not challenging working with hope day in and day out ’cause you’ve loved her for a long time.

Thomas: It’s not challenging. Yes, I do love hope. I still do ’cause she’s my friend, right? We’re coworkers. Co-parents. She’s a great person, right? But– but I’m not pursuing her in any way. I– I– I don’t want to be with her. I– I know she doesn’t want to be with me–

Taylor: I know, I know.

Thomas: And she’s with liam. And I respect their relationship and I will never, ever do anything to break them apart.

Taylor: Okay. Okay. I’m sorry I asked. I get it. I love you. Have I told you how proud I am of you?

Thomas: You just did, but it’s okay. You can tell me again ’cause I really like hearing it.

Taylor: Oh, my god. I am so proud of you.

Thomas: Thank you so much.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Sorry to just bombard you with all the questions.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Hope: Hi. Hi, taylor. Hi. I was actually– I was just about to go over some designs with thomas.

Taylor: Oh.

Ridge: Are you ever not on that thing?

Brooke: Ridge!

Ridge: What?

Rj: Check it out.

Ridge: That’s us. You uploaded the picture of us.

Rj: Yep.

Ridge: That’s got 3,000 likes already.

Rj: Yep.

Ridge: And this… you get paid for this?

Rj: Yes.

Ridge: Wow. Well, enjoy it.

Rj: Mom, I almost forgot. I come bearing gifts.

Brooke: Oh, you got me something?

Rj: Oh, yeah.

Brooke: Oh, chocolates.

Rj: Not just any old chocolates. It’s chocolates from switzerland.

Brooke: Chocolates from switzerland? I can’t believe this. Thank you, sweetie. Wait. Wait. When were you in switzerland?

Ridge: Boy gets around.

Rj: You know, it’s great seeing you two so happy. I know you guys have been through a lot lately.

Ridge: It’s an understatement.

Brooke: Yeah. But things are better now.

Rj: Yeah. I’m happy to hear it. How are all my brothers and sisters doing?

Brooke: They’re great. Bridget is in new york working at the hospital and rick’s still at international.

Rj: I know. We linked up in paris.

Brooke: Yeah, that’s right. And hope, she’s doing fabulous with her family, liam and the kids. And oh my gosh, her line, hope for the future is going crazy. It’s so successful.

Rj: I’ve– I’ve been keeping up with the latest and its fire. I gotta admit.

Brooke: Yeah.

Rj: Dad, how’s steffy?

Ridge: Steffy’s good. I mean, you know her. Force of nature, she’s got kids and a husband, a house and she’s running this company with me. It’s all effortless with her.

Rj: Yeah. Well, I’m glad that her and finn can finally put the whole sheila nightmare behind them. We all finally can, which is good.

Brooke: Hm.

Ridge: Didn’t ask about thomas. Didn’t ask about your brother.

Rj: Yeah. How– how is my big brother?

Ridge: He’s good. He’s doing really well. Have you spoken to him?

Rj: Um, no. Not in a while.

Ridge: Huh. But would you say that things are okay between the two of you? I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Thomas: Okay. So this is what’s so amazing about lace, right? And– and keeping with the boho design. But you put it in there sort of as a base and then you can add something else on top of it like– like leather.

Hope: To give it a little edge.

Thomas: Exactly.

Hope: I like it. And we could also play with the colors and use the leather to create kind of a richer, darker tone, but then use the lace to soften it up.

Thomas: Like taking both worlds and bringing them together.

Taylor: You know what, kind of like the two of you. You know, I’ve– I’ve– I’ve never seen you guys so creatively in sync and it’s– it’s pretty cool. I’m– I’m sorry that liam is not okay with this, you know?

Hope: Oh, you know, hopefully, he gets used to it because we are co-workers.

Taylor: Yeah, of course. And god, he– he has no reason to be concerned anymore.

Thomas: Yeah. And that may be true, but he has every reason to be skeptical of me. I mean, I’ve– I’ve done some pretty horrible things in the past and hurt their relationship and I never want that to happen again. And I promise that I will, moving forward, you know, win him over. Are you okay?

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. It’s just everything is, I don’t know. We’re finally coming together with douglas, with hope for the future. And heck, I mean, even our moms are besties now.

Taylor: Yeah.

Thomas: I don’t– I didn’t see that coming.

Taylor: Yeah. Nope. Neither did I.

Thomas: I don’t think anyone could have.

Taylor: No. No. Look, brooke and I will always care about ridge. We really will. But you know, it’s– we have families with him, but it’s– it’s nice just to be done with all the drama.

Thomas: It is. You know, and dad, he wants the best for everyone honestly. I think that he really respects your friendship with brooke and I don’t know, he wants– he wants this family to be great. This– this very big, very weird and complicated family.

Rj: What’s my relationship like with my brother?

Ridge: Yeah. That’s the question.

Brooke: We understand if things are a bit complicated between you and thomas.

Rj: Complicated… it’s just what he did was messed up. Making that call to cps pretending to be mom. I’m not gonna lie, it hurt when you two got separated, but I can’t get caught up in all the family drama. I just can’T. I’ve watched my brothers and sisters go at it against each other just too many times. The whole forrester-logan rivalry, it isn’t fun, especially when you’re a forrester and a logan. And I’m proud to be both. I have great parents and amazing brothers and sisters. We’re all really, really blessed.

Ridge: Could have used your sound mind a few years ago.

Rj: Well, I think I needed to step away to develop it.

Brooke: You’ve really grown up, rj.

Ridge: We’re both proud of you.

Rj: Thank you, dad. I hope I’m not coming across like I don’t care. It’s just, I really don’t wanna get caught up in any of the family drama. It’s one of the reasons why I haven’t been back in so long.

Brooke: Of course. I mean, we understand. We don’t want you to have to feel like you need to pick a side.

Ridge: No, not at all. Family is supposed to help and inspire. It’s not something we should run from.

Rj: I’m not running, dad. I’m just trying to stay focused. You know, I think this whole latest encounter with sheila really proves that our family is much stronger unified than fighting against each other. Hell, if dad and bill can get along, there’s no reason our family can’t, right?

Ridge: Yeah, that’s a good point. Um, we’ve been doing pretty well.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Pretty well. It’s even better now though, right? Now that he’s back home? And I’m not gonna let you leave. I’m not. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Hope: This is the collection so far.

Thomas: I wanted vintage hope for the future to inspire the collection, not– not be a reboot, right?

Hope: No, but showing its growth and development.

Thomas: Yeah. As we all have grown and developed over the time since hope for the future was launched, right? Actually, this one was zende’S.

Taylor: I– I love it. I– I love everything. I really do. I’M… you guys are a– a good team. You– you really are. You collaborate very, very well. I– I bet the bond is strengthened even more from parenting douglas together.

[ Door opens ]

Charlie: Sorry for the intrusion, but you might wanna lap up this grand cru before I spill it. Some might call it news, others might call it gossip.

Hope: What is it?

Charlie: Well, here I am, hard at work when the front desk wakes me– walkies me and says that ridge forrester is trying to get in the building.

Thomas: That’s the news, charlie?

Taylor: What?

Charlie: Well, security said ridge forrester was at the entrance, but ridge forrester was in his office working.

Hope: So someone is pretending to be ridge and trying to break into forrester.

Charlie: Oh, the tale of two ridges is far more complex than that my friends.

Thomas.: Can you get to the point?

Charlie: Well, the ridge at the front entrance was a real ridge. The ridge in this office was a real ridge. What? Two ridges? Two ridge forresters? How can that be? Well, there was a big ridge and a little ridge. Well, not so little anymore, I guess you’d call–

Hope: Are you talking about rj? Like our rj?

Charlie: Bingo.

Thomas: Why didn’t you just say that in the first place?

Hope: Thomas, our baby brother is home.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, what do you think? You– you just gonna stay for a while or you– you just gonna stay until the next festival kicks off?

Rj: That’s a fair question. But no, I’m not just passing through. I’ve– I’ve– I’ve really missed you guys. I miss being home.

Brooke: Oh, honey. You don’t know how good it makes me feel to hear you say that.

Ridge: So maybe since you’re gonna stay for a while, you could be in the office.

Brooke: Uh, ridge…

Ridge: Yeah. He could work as– as an intern.

Rj: Dad?

Ridge: What?

Rj: What are you doing? You know how I feel about the fashion industry. I–

Ridge: I know, but it’s been a while and maybe now coming back, it– it would be different. You know, you could spend some time with me, with your granddad. We’d just be here and we’d, I don’t know, we’d love to have you.

Rj: I– I appreciate the offer, but I got my own thing going on.

Ridge: Yeah. The– the online stuff.

Rj: Yeah. I mean, that’s stuff, being an influencer, it allows me to travel the world. Collaborate with so many artists. And–

Ridge: I know because you are an artist. We– we– we are artists.

Brooke: Ridge, don’t pressure him. Okay? He’s just finding his–

Ridge: I’m– I’m not! I’m just talking about the sketches you used to make. And they were good. You remember? They were good.

Rj: Dad, thank you. I appreciate it. But come on, isn’t it already busy enough here between you and granddad and hope and steffy? And not to mention thomas and zende are killing it.

Ridge: Just because they’re designers it doesn’t mean that we don’t have room for you. What?

Rj: Dad, I’ve got my own followers. I’m– I’m building my brand. I’m making my own content and it’s–

Ridge: Okay. I know. I– I get that. I’m– I’m hip to all that. But here’s the thing. Wait. Hey, if you’re gonna create some stuff here, you design some stuff here, you could make your brand bigger. Get more followers. You know what I’m saying? Please.

Brooke: Yes, I know what you’re saying, but can you just stop for a second? He just got here.

Ridge: I know.

Brooke: Look, he’s– he’s here. I don’t wanna scare him away, ridge. Stop. I really missed you so much. I did. I missed you.

Rj: I missed you too. Martial arts is my passion.

Hope: Wait, so rj is here in los angeles?

Charlie: Not just in los angeles, but in the building, mon amie. In fact, he’s in the office de grand fromage with brooke as we speak.

Thomas: Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen rj.

Charlie: Well, he is not such a kid anymore. In fact, he turned out to be quite the handsome jack. Chip off the old block, if you ask me. You can tell tell ridge I said that, okay?

Thomas: Okay.

Charlie: Okay. Well, I will get outta your hair and charlie, will go back to what charlie does best and that is keeping forrester safe from neferocity.

Thomas: It’s not a word, charlie.

Charlie: Oh.

Taylor: This is exciting. Your little brother’s back.

Hope: I know. We– I was actually talking about rj with my mom this morning. I mean, she always misses him, but sometimes it just hits her really hard. So, I am sure that she is thrilled. So I am… I’m gonna go see our brother.

Thomas: Yeah, you go ahead. I’ll catch up.

Hope: Okay.

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Um, okay. Um… why didn’t go with hope to see your brother?

Thomas: ‘Cause I have stuff I have to do right now.

Taylor: Really? Have you talked to rj at all?

Thomas: No. Not in a while.

Taylor: No? Why?

Thomas: Because being at odds with his mom makes for some pretty awkward conversation.

Taylor: Okay. But you’re not at odds anymore, so.

Thomas: He doesn’t know that.

Taylor: Yeah, because you haven’t talked to him in a while. See? See how that works? Come on. It’d be good for you to reconnect with your brother.

Thomas: Do you have to do the psych thing all the time?

Taylor: Do you have to avoid the psych thing all the time? I wanna know how you feel about rj being back.

Thomas: You know, I could ask you the exact same question. How do you feel about the only child that dad and brooke ever had being back?

Rj: So we’re cool, dad?

Ridge: Yeah. I’m just happy you’re home.

Brooke: We both are. And don’t worry, there’s gonna be plenty of time to figure out what you wanna do while you’re back here in la.

Rj: Well, I mean, I know I wanna work on my online brand. But don’t worry, dad, I’m not gonna slack off.

Ridge: I’m not– why do you– no, I know. I’m– I’m not worried about you slacking off. I know how you get when you’re passionate about something. I just don’t want you to forget that you have designer blood running through your veins. That’s all.

Hope: Rj.

Rj: Oh, hey, hope.

Hope: Excuse me. Come here. Come here. Hi. Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe you.

Rj: What?

Hope: When we talked yesterday, you didn’t tell me you were coming home.

Rj: Well, I wanted to surprise you and all of them.

Brooke: And what a wonderful surprise it was.

Hope: Well, you look great.

Rj: Aw, thank you. So do you. Not to mention you have been killing it with hope for the future.

Hope: Ah, yeah. Well, thomas does deserve some of the credit, but what about you? I mean, I’ve been keeping up to date on all your exciting adventures.

Rj: Yeah. It– it’s been amazing, but I, you know, I was ready to come home. I missed everybody, especially you.

Hope: Does this mean you’re going to stay for more than a week?

Brooke: He better be.

Rj: Yes. I… like I was telling mom and dad, I’m gonna be hanging around for a while and my plans are open.

Ridge: That’s what we like to hear.

Hope: Well, you were certainly missed. Right, mom?

Brooke: Yes. So much.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Look at you. I mean, it feels just like yesterday that we were running around these halls and having dance parties in the showroom after everyone left for the day.

Rj: Yeah. Such are good times.

Hope: Yes, they were. And now we get to have some more. It’s good to have you home, rj.

Rj: It’s good to be home.

Hope: Oh, group hug.

Brooke: Let’s do a family hug.

Hope: Everyone get in here. I’m so happy.

[ Relaxing music ]

Charlie: Nothing. But nothing is better than seeing ridge forrester at his drafting table. It’s like seeing michelangelo in front of a blank sistine chapel ceiling. Like the great julia child–

Ridge: In her kitchen.

Charlie: Right?

Ridge: Yes. What’s up?

Charlie: Well, something sinister, I’m afraid. I had to come up here to get eyeballs on you to make sure that you are here and you are not out there.

Ridge: Out there where?

Charlie: Front entrance. Some whackazoid is pretending to be ridge forrester.

Ridge: Okay, well, there’s no reason to pretend anything like that ’cause I’m here, right?

Charlie: Right you are. You know, listen, I– I noticed that pammy and donna are not at the desk out there, so you know what? I am going to do you a solid and I’m going to plant my keester right there, so if this jokester tries anything funny, and I don’t mean amusing funny, I mean, you know, funny, I’ll– I’ll be there.

Ridge: Okay, that’s great. I appreciate it and I appreciate not being interrupted because I’m working.

Charlie: Oh, sure, well, come on. You’re the king. You’re the king and I will guard this place like buckingham palace.

Ridge: Great. What does that mean? No tourists? Is that what that means?

Charlie: Well, you’re the king. I’m nothing. King, nothing, king, nothing.

Ridge: Yes, charlie. I’m the king of nothing.

Charlie: Yeah. Yeah, well, listen, I– I– got your back and your front. I got– in fact– I’ll be right out there.

Ridge: Why am I paying this guy?

[ Hope sighing ]

Brooke: Oh, good honey, you’re home. I just wanted to run this down from the house. Douglas left his binder.

Hope: Oh. Well, like mother, like son.

Brooke: I’m glad you’re home, actually. I wanted to talk to you about something.

Hope: Ah. Is it about thomas?

Brooke: Uh, no, even though I can’t help but be concerned.

Hope: Well, you have nothing to be concerned about. There’s no need to worry. I already talked to dad about this today.

Brooke: He was here?

Hope: No. No, I went to go visit him at il giardino. You know, give him a long overdue thank you for helping to put sheila away for good.

Deacon: I have been dying to see you. Sheila, you gotta know how sorry I am. I know that this whole thing seems like a huge betrayal to you. Please, I’m begging you. Tell me you don’t hate me.

Bill: You’re hesitating. Now, maybe you don’t want to say it in front of carter, but the sooner he hears it, the better. You know how I feel and I think you feel it too. I’m right, aren’t I? You still love me, katie.

Katie: Bill, you’re really putting me on the spot here. Especially in front of carter.

Bill: You’re the one who insisted he stay.

Katie: Do I care about you? Do I want what’s best for you? Of course. You’re the father of my son.

Bill: That’s right, katie. We share a son, our family. A family I want back.

Sheila: You stabbed me in the back, deacon.

Deacon: I was cornered. Bill and ridge gave me a way out.

Sheila: And you took it.

Deacon: Mm-hm. Yeah.

Sheila: Do I hate you? After everything you did for me? I could never hate you.

[ Deacon sighing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Ridge: Yes?

Charlie: Hi, me again. Uh, remember that whole debacle about the ridge impersonator?

Ridge: The thing we talked about just a few minutes ago? Yeah, I remember that, charlie.

Charlie: Yeah, well we thought it was a mistake, you know, that there couldn’t possibly be a ridge forrester downstairs.

Ridge: It was a mistake. I’m right here.

Charlie: Right you are. Uh… there’s– there’s someone I think you should meet.

Ridge: Well, that someone’s gonna have to make an appointment. Charlie, I’m trying to explain this to you. I’m in the groove here. I’m trying to get something done. I’m feeling it. I don’t want to be interrupted.

Charlie: Well, I– I know, but th–

Ridge: Handle it, charlie! Please!

Charlie: Okay, yes sir. Um, you absolutely sure?

Ridge: Positive.

Charlie: Okay.

Ridge: Wow.

[ Knocking on door ] Charlie, you are killing me.

[ Ridge laughing ] Rj!

Rj: Hey, dad.

Ridge: Ridge jr. Now, I get it.

Rj: Yeah.

Ridge: Hi. Welcome home. Aw. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Carter: Look, bill. I get that you two have history, that you share a child and years of memories together, and yes, katie will always love you. I already know that. But it doesn’t have the same meaning for her that it does for you. You see, we’re together now, happily.

Katie: It’s true. We’ve been having a really good time together.

Bill: Time that would’ve never happened if I had been the husband you needed. I’ve got a lot of making up to do and I’d like the chance to do just that, starting tonight over dinner.

Deacon: You don’t hate me.

Sheila: I know how much you risked. All that time that we spent together… everything that you did for me. All those many and many moments that we shared. I’ll never forget it.

Deacon: And neither will I. Not again. There’s no way. It can’t be.

[ Deacon exhaling ]

Sheila: Mama’s back.

Deacon: Oh, sheila, every time I’m near you, my heart, it just goes pitter patter.

Sheila: Yeah. Such happy memories. And now, I’m stuck here.

Hope: Okay, so if you don’t want to talk about dad and you don’t want to talk about sheila and you certainly don’t want to talk about thomas, what did you want to talk about then?

Brooke: Oh, nothing. I mean… it just, sometimes it– it weights on me.

Hope: What?

Brooke: Look, don’t get me wrong. I mean, I’m happy that he’s living the life that he wants to, that he’s travelling the world and doing exciting things. It’s just… I miss him.

Hope: Oh, this conversation again. You want to talk about rj.

[ Ridge laughing ]

Ridge: Another ridge forrester trying to get in the building. Now, I got it.

Rj: Yeah. Just the younger, more handsome version.

Ridge: Really? Can’t argue with you. You’re right.

Rj: You know, it took some serious convincing to get in here. Has it really been that long?

Ridge: It’s been too long. What have you been doing? Hitting the gym? Is that it?

Rj: When I can.

Ridge: When you can. When you’re not influencing people on the world wide web. You look good.

Rj: Thank you, dad. Speaking of, have you seen my latest posts?

Ridge: Oh, the one where you’re bungee jumping off a building or whatever? No, I haven’t seen it, and your mom hasn’t seen it because we don’t wanna see you in those kind of situations. You get that. Can’t believe your mom didn’t tell me you were coming.

Rj: Oh, mom doesn’t know. Nobody knows.

Ridge: You didn’t give anyone a heads up?

Rj: And spoil the surprise?

Ridge: It is so good to see you. Come here.

Rj: It’s good to see you too, dad.

Ridge: I missed you. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Bill: Come on, katie. One dinner with me. What do you say?

Katie: I’m just afraid that it will give you false hope and I–

Bill: And you’re afraid to face the truth. You know we belong together.

Katie: No, it’s not that. Carter and I have a really good thing going on here and I am not going to disrespect that or him.

Bill: Oh, come on, now. Carter’s not afraid of a little friendly competition from little old me. Right, carter?

Sheila: So, what’s next for the incredibly, incredibly sexy mr. Sharpe?

Deacon: All good things, I hope, now that I’ve been granted my clemency.

Sheila: Well… so, you get to roam your life free while I’m in here. I’m happy for you, deacon.

Brooke: So, when is the last time you talked to your brother?

Hope: I talked to him the other day. I mean, we text each other all the time. We video chat and mom, I know you talk to him too. I mean, you see his posts, you know he’s doing fine.

Brooke: Yes, okay, but why can’t he do fine right here in los angeles?

Hope: He’s young. He’s figuring things out. He’s spreading his wings, but at least you know he’s living his best life.

Brooke: Yes, and whatever he chooses to do, I will support him, even if it’s taking videos and pictures from the south pole or making those crazy cartoons.

Hope: Mom, you know he prefers the term “animation.”

Brooke: Okay. He is very talented, but why doesn’t he bring that talent home? I want to thank you for being the one child who stayed.

Hope: Does that make me the favorite?

[ Hope laughing ]

Ridge: Look at you. Are you all right? You good? You happy?

Rj: Yeah, very.

Ridge: Yeah? Running around all over the world, that doesn’t get old ever?

Rj: I don’t know. How could it? It’s awesome, dad.

Ridge: It is awesome. What a stupid thing to say. Of course, it’s awesome. You’re only young once. You should do that. Do your thing.

Rj: Especially, if it means… I bring back gifts. Your favorite licorice.

[ Ridge gasping ] Oh, yeah.

Ridge: When did you do this? When did you go to denmark?

Rj: Well, if you watched the bungee video, you would be able to answer that question.

Ridge: I told you about that. This is so good. Thank you.

Rj: I got something for mom too. I can’t wait to see her. Is she here?

Ridge: She’s not here right now, but she’s coming later. She’s gonna be so excited to see her little boy. Little boy, to see you. She’s gonna be so happy that you’re back. Up at 2:00am again?

Carter: You said over dinner? Nah, man. Katie can spend time and have meals with anyone she wants. She knows how much I care about her and I know how much she cares about me, and I want to continue having her in my life.

Bill: Now, you can want that, but just know, carter, katie and I share a son and I want my family back. I want my katie, and I think you’ll come back after I prove you are the only woman in the world for me.

Deacon: You’re happy for me?

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: My god, sheila, I helped put you in here.

Sheila: That’s the smartest thing you’ve probably ever done in your life. I mean it. You’ve– you’ve got the restaurant, you’ve got hope, you’ve got your whole future ahead of you. I… I may end up spending the rest of my life here. So, you go. You go and you live your life. Don’t wait for me, daddy.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Rj: So, the whack job, sheila, is finally behind bars, huh? You know, if the whole fashion gig doesn’t work out, you can totally get a job as an undercover cop, mr. 21 jump street.

Ridge: No, no, no, I know. I thought about it. I think it’s time to hang up the shield, eh. Miss my family too much, especially your mom.

Rj: Yeah. How is mom doing?

Ridge: She’s great. You know her, always doing something. She’s this– this beacon of light for everybody. But there’s, um… how do I say this? There’s a sadness right below the surface. She misses you.

Rj: What? Are you trying to guilt trip me?

Ridge: Yeah.

Rj: Really? I video chat both of you, a lot.

Ridge: Once– once a month or twice a month is not a lot. It’s the opposite of a lot. I’m not giving you– no, I’m not giving you a hard time. I’m glad you’re doing what you’re doing, but your mom misses you. It’s a real thing. She’s gonna be so happy to see you in the flesh.

Brooke: A surprise?

Charlie: Oh, yeah. And i think you’re gonna like it.

Ridge: Oh, hey.

Brooke: Hey.

Ridge: Looking for something? What’s going on?

Brooke: Well, charlie mentioned a surprise.

Ridge: He did? Hm? I don’t know. Oh. Maybe it’s that thing, um, I was gonna show you back there.

Brooke: Oh. One of your creations.

Ridge: Well, it’s really something that we created together.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Together? What have we created lately together?

[ Brooke gasping ]

Rj: Hi, mom.

Brooke: Ah! What? Rj?

[ Brooke laughing ] I can’t believe this. What? You’re– you’re really here.

Rj: In the flesh, here.

Brooke: My god. This is just so– so bizarre. I was just talking to hope about you, saying how much I missed you. Wait, did you know about this?

Ridge: Oh, he didn’t tell anybody he was coming. He’s full of surprises.

Brooke: Oh, you are. Okay, so does this mean you’re gonna stay awhile?

Rj: Well, I… do have a channel that’s blowing up.

Brooke: I know. We follow you.

Rj: I’ve got some offers to go to some pretty cool places too. Costa rica’s on the table, thailand.

Ridge: Offers? What do you mean offers? You get paid for that?

Rj: Yeah, dad. Come on. You know the drill. I’m an influencer now. I haven’t hit you up for money in ages.

Ridge: That is true.

Brooke: From your posts, we’ve seen that you’re here, there and everywhere.

Rj: Yes, yeah, and I’ve been a real rolling stone as of lately too. You know, just go, go, go and… anyways, what I really– what I really want is to spend some time with you guys.

Brooke: Really?

Rj: Yeah. I figured I’d stick around and post some L.A. Content for a while, if that’s okay.

Brooke: Oh, my god! Is that okay? Of course, that’s okay.

Ridge: It’s all we ever wanted. It’s great.

Brooke: Oh, my god. We just miss you. Miss you so much. I’m just so glad that you’re home, honey.

Ridge: May I?

Brooke: Of course.

[ Dramatic music ]

Sheila: Are you finished? Is there– is there anything else that you’d like to blame me for?

Taylor: No, you’re the one that’s finished. In every sense of the word. You’re locked up here, cut off from anyone you ever claimed to care about. Forever.

Sheila: Because of you. Because of what you did, bill. Using me. Oh, the way that you did. I never should’ve trusted you.

Bill: But you did. You did. Which, in some ways, still amazes me. You brought me into your dark, toxic world. God, I sacrificed so much and I would’ve sacrificed even more for the sake of my family, my loved ones, the next generation so you wouldn’t be a threat to them and now you’re not. You will die in prison alone and unloved, the two things you fear most. They are your fate now. Your inescapable fate.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: I’m not quite sure how to answer that question.

Carter: It’s complicated. I know. We thought bill lost his mind, was in love with sheila, when really he was doing this big heroic thing, protecting all of us from her. It’s why I gotta ask, given what bill did, has that changed the way you look at your ex-husband?

Deacon: Honey, come on, you’ve gotta let me fix you something. Hey, my linguine with clam sauce? Unbelievable. Secret recipe.

Hope: All right, that does sound delicious, but I– I do have to get back to work soon.

Deacon: All right, I get it. Never stops, does it?

Hope: No, it does not.

[ Deacon chuckling ] But, you know what else doesn’t?

Deacon: Hm?

Hope: My love for you. How proud I am of you. I mean, the success here at il giardino, you helping to keep us all safe from sheila carter. I mean, dad, I know.

[ Hope sighing ] I know you don’t like to think of yourself as a hero, but you are. Especially to me.

Deacon: Come here.

[ Hope laughing ] Come here.

Hope: You did good.

Deacon: Honey, just so you know, I’m not responsible for bringing sheila down. That was all bill and ridge.

Hope: Okay, dad, I think you’re being way too modest. If it weren’t for you, then–

Deacon: I am– I am so happy that you think I did something heroic, but– but I didn’T. I didn’t orchestrate the sting. I mean, I just kinda got pulled into it.

Hope: Yeah, well, guess what? Now sheila’s in prison, and she can’t threaten or terrorize anyone anymore. And as much as you might wanna downplay it, I think that you have a lot to be proud of.

Hope: Dad, you– you are proud of yourself, right?

[ Deacon sighing ]

Carter: I completely understand why everyone’s in awe of what bill did. Ridge too and I know that you’ll always care for him. He’s will’s father. You two share a lot of history.

Katie: Yeah. Good and bad. And bill is infuriating and exasperating and controlling, but family has always come first for him, which is why it was so confusing, this whole thing with sheila. Ultimately, he was looking out for his family, and not just his own. What bill did was huge.

Carter: And?

Katie: And I’ve always known that there is goodness inside of bill. And now he’s proved it. And I’m glad that everyone can see the goodness inside of him. What I could see so many years ago.

Sheila: My inescapable fate?

Bill: Locked in a cell. Weeks passing into months, months into years, and years into, well, dead. No visitors. No family. No one. That is the fate you’ve brought upon yourself.

Sheila: No, that is the fate that you forced on me.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Sheila, just accept responsibility.

Sheila: Oh, like you have, taylor? I know what you did. You shot bill. You should be in the prison cell right next to mine. Time for downy mcbride to go to work. I recognize that look. That’s the look of a person that needs a slice of tiramisu. I know you said no on the linguine with clams, but I can’t let you leave empty-handed.

Hope: Huh. Now look who’s tryin’ to get rid of me.

Deacon: I’m not. I love when you come see me. I just know that you’re busy with hope for the future, which I’m curious how it’s going.

Hope: Oh. Because thomas is designing for me again?

Deacon: Well, you know, I’m just imagining the two of you back at it, working hard together.

Hope: Hm.

Deacon: Hm.

Hope: Well, it’s not just us. There’s also zende, who is a very important part of our team.

Deacon: Right, right, but of course, zende wasn’t obsessed with you.

Hope: Okay, you know what, dad, it’s going– it’s fine. It’s okay. Everything’s okay.

Deacon: So, you’re telling me that tommy boy is minding his ps and qs?

Hope: Yes.

Deacon: Because if he steps one toe over the line, I swear–

Hope: He hasn’t and he won’T.

Deacon: Okay, all right, okay. You’re sure about that?

Hope: Yeah.

Deacon: Hm.

Hope: It’s going to be fine.

Deacon: And how’s liam feel about that?

Hope: Uh, h– he’ll– he’ll come around.

Deacon: Which means he’s not real thrilled.

Hope: Okay, you know– know what, dad? Uh, how about I just focus on all that stuff, and you just focus on this beautiful restaurant here, and just know how very proud I am of you for helping to get rid of sheila from our lives once and for all, okay?

Deacon: Okay.

Carter: So, bill’s bravery and heroism reminds you of–

Katie: Reminds me that he can be both maddening and marvelous at the same time, but that does not mean–

Carter: Katie, look. Your feelings are your feelings. You don’t have to explain or justify them, least of all to me. Bill did a very heroic thing and he’s riding that wave right now, and I’m not dissing the man or taking away from anything he’s done, but the bill before this went down was a very different man.

Katie: I haven’t forgotten.

Carter: Good. Because what he’s done in the past, the way he treated you, the pain he caused you. I’m not saying this to upset you. I just don’t wanna see him hurt you again. That’s the very last thing I want.

Bill: Enough, sheila.

Sheila: It’s the truth. I know all about your dirty little secret, taylor. If I’ve gotta pay for my crimes, why doesn’t she?

Taylor: Oh no, bill. She’s threatening me.

Sheila: Oh, my– I may be locked up, but I can still cause a lot of trouble.

Bill: You can’t cause squat. I cut a deal with the feds. Taylor is fully exonerated. She never has to worry about that night ever again.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: Isn’t that amazing? Isn’t that the best news? Thank you. You see, the forresters, the logans and the spencers will never have to worry about being targeted by you ever again. Your days of terrorizing us are over.

Bill: Guard!

[ Door buzzing ]

Bill: You’ll die in here, sheila. And no one, absolutely no one, is going to care. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Waitress: Hi, what can I get you?

Sheila: I was thinking

of you. How wonderful you

have been and the risk that

you’ve taken allowing me

to stay here. I wanted to take

a risk for you.

Ridge: Nice work, deacon.

You bought us

just enough time.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Sheila: Was– was any of

this even real?

Katie: I realize that everything you’re saying to me is out of concern for me.

Carter: Good. Because I hate the way bill took you for granted. The way he mistreated you. Returning to brooke saying she’s the greatest love of his life? Katie, he has disrespected you over and over and you are better than that. You deserve better. Even if it’s not me–

Katie: What makes you think it’s not you? I love the way you care for me. I love what we have become to each other. I have always admired you for any number of reasons, but now… I know you. And I can see and I trust that you see me, and you hear me, and that means so much. And I will not take that for granted.

Carter: Look, I’m deeply grateful that you trust me enough to share so much of yourself with me. And I realize your feelings for bill are complicated, just don’t forget you left him for a reason.

Bill: Sorry to interrupt.

Katie: Um, how did things go with sheila?

Bill: Good. She’s totally isolated. And she will stay that way until she takes her last breath. There is no soul left on the planet who has one ounce of sympathy for sheila carter.

[ Sheila grunting loudly ]

Sheila: Why am I still here? Why haven’t you taken my back to my luxury accommodations?

Guard: You got another visitor.

Sheila: Oh, no. No, uh, I’ve had enough of visitors for today, so just send ’em– just send whoever it is away.

Guard: What? Do I look like your secretary? You don’t get to bark orders at me.

Sheila: That’s not what I…

[ Door buzzing ]

Deacon: I’m sorry. I… I’m so sorry. Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Deacon: I was worried about you. After your heart attack. How’re you doing?

Sheila: Well, physically, better, obviously. They never would’ve released me just to stuff me back into a prison cell.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Deacon: Ridge and bill came to me. They didn’t give me a choice. I would’ve gone back to prison. I was always afraid something like this was gonna happen, you know? That you were gonna wind up behind bars. Your past was gonna catch up with you, but you gotta know, I didn’t want this. You know, I didn’t– just think about this crazy journey that we’ve been on together. That– that crazy redhead who showed up at my place. Sexy nine-toed beauty. I knew from the get go it was nuts to get involved with you, and I just– I couldn’t stop myself. Couldn’t help myself. And believe me, I tried. Every time I tried to get away, something just drew me back in.

Sheila: Do you know what that was?

Deacon: Yes. And so do you. You’ve always known how I felt about you. That hasn’t changed. Please tell me you don’t hate me.

Bill: I think it was really cathartic for taylor to express herself to sheila. Telling her that she will do everything in her power to wipe out any trace of that vile woman, as though she never existed.

Katie: Good. I’m happy she got to do that.

Carter: Me too.

Bill: Enough of that. I didn’t come back here to talk about sheila. I’m here to speak to katie. Alone. If that’s all right with you.

Katie: Anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of carter.

Bill: As you wish. You are so important to me, katie. I miss you. I miss what we once meant to each other. And my life, uh… my life isn’t a life without you in it. I need you now more than ever. All that time I spent, uh, trying to bust sheila, doing whatever I had to do to protect you. To protect everyone. It only reinforced how much I love you and how it would… kill me to lose you. But I know that you and carter, uh, have been spending time together. I– I respect that. Uh, I respect carter. He’s a good and decent man. That doesn’t mean I’m going to give up. We share a son. A family. And we can have that again if you just give me one more chance. I think I have proven to everyone with this sheila situation that I will go to any lengths necessary to get what I want. I love you, katie. And I believe that deep down in your soul, you still love me too. Tell me I’m not wrong. Tell me that you’re still my katie.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: But there’s

no one like you.

The extraordinary lengths

you go to.

This one was really crazy.

This is why I left you, bill.

But it’s also why I love you.

Bill: How do you do it? How do you get more beautiful by the day?

Carter: The only logan

I have my eye on

is the one I’m staring at.

You’re amazing, katie.

And beautiful.

Very beautiful.

Taylor: Carter.

Carter: Taylor.

Taylor: Hi.

Carter: Hi. Hey. Who you lookin’ for? Steffy or thomas?

Taylor: Neither one. Bill wanted to talk to me.

Carter: Spencer? Here?

Deacon: Okay, victoria, don’t forget to let me know when the bread guy arrives, all right?

Victoria: Will do.

Deacon: Okay. Ugh, I hate doin’ this. Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Deacon: What a beautiful surprise.

Hope: Uh, you got a minute?

Deacon: Yeah, I got all the time in the world for you. Yeah.

Hope: Oh.

Deacon: What’s up?

Hope: Oh, I just think we need to have a long, overdue conversation about sheila carter.

Deacon: Of all the things we could talk about, you wanna talk about sheila carter?

Hope: Well, not particularly, but I know what you did with her.

Deacon: You do?

Hope: Yes, dad. I do. *

Deacon: Just, please,

turn yourself in.

Sheila: No. Never. I am–

I am never

going back to prison.

Bill: Oh, I think you are.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Taylor: Yeah, bill said he was coming to forrester and he wanted to talk to me.

Carter: Didn’t say why?

Taylor: No. But I’m assuming it has to do with this whole sheila sting.

Carter: Probably right.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I am– I am still blown away. You know, bill and ridge teaming up together to take sheila down. What a couple of heroes.

Carter: Yeah, we’re grateful for the end result.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, obviously bill isn’t here, so I’m gonna go check the design office–

Carter: Well, katie’s working in there. You know, I can walk over with you.

Taylor: It’s right over there. I– I got it.

Bill: You’re getting my calls and my texts. I wanna see you, katie. And I’ve made it easy. I’ve already arranged dinner. I’ve had the house fumigated, I even had an exorcism performed now that vampire is gone.

[ Katie sighing ] So, what do you say? Join me? Give me one more chance.

[ Knocking on door ]

Taylor: Hey. Hi.

Katie: Hi.

Taylor: There you are. Hi, katie.

Katie: Hey.

Taylor: I got your message. Said you wanted to talk. What’s up?

Bill: Well, I thought that you and I should take a little trip.

Taylor: Intriguing. Where– where to?

Bill: Prison. To see sheila. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Deacon: Hope, I don’t know what you think you heard, but I–

Hope: Dad. Like I said, I know what you did.

Deacon: With sheila?

Hope: To her. And helping bill and ridge send sheila back to prison.

Deacon: Right, that.

Hope: Come on, dad. Don’t be so modest. It is a big deal. I mean, what the three of you did. I mean, we never have to worry about sheila carter ever again. That nine-toed freak is finally behind bars, where she should’ve been to begin with. I mean, we don’t ever have to worry about her making parole or escaping.

Deacon: I did it for our family. You know I did.

Emilio: Hey, boss, what can I get you this morning? The tiramisu is to die for.

Deacon: Uh, I think I’m just gonna do a cappuccino. And, uh, emilio, do me a favor, don’t go bonkers with the whipped cream, okay?

Hope: Actually, that sounds really good. I’d love one of those too.

Emilio: Gotcha.

Hope: Thanks.

[ Bread stick crunching ] Look, dad, all I’m saying is that I know that couldn’t have been easy for you, pretending to be friends with sheila when you know all of the horrible things that she’s done to people we love and care about. She finally got what she deserved, and I just wish I could’ve been there when her face cracked when she finally realized that nobody was on her side.

Deacon: You know, it was actually kind of sad.

Hope: I’m sorry, wait– oh, are you serious?

Emilio: Two cappuccinos.

Busboy: Delicious.

Deacon: Yeah, you know, I mean, just human to human. I mean, I could see that this– this woman’s whole life was shattering right in front of her.

Hope: Look at you, you big softie.

Deacon: Get out of here.

Hope: No wonder sheila felt like she could trust you.

[ Prison buzzer buzzing ]

[ Keys jingling ]

Guard: You know the drill.

Sheila: What’s happening?

Guard: Someone wants to see you.

Katie: Why do you wanna go see sheila?

Bill: Well, it’s not for me. It’s for taylor. I’ve already told sheila exactly what I think of her. But you haven’t had that opportunity and I believe you’ll feel better if you do it.

Taylor: Um…

Katie: I agree. You should. You should confront sheila, after everything she’s done to your family. I mean, I can’t imagine what you went through.

Bill: Yeah, um, I have to own my part in that. I’m sorry for what I put you through, making you think I was blackmailing you. I hope you understand.

Taylor: I– I– I– I understand now. Um, but I’m the one that’s sorry. I– I should’ve never done what I did to you. It haunts me every single day. I– I wanted to turn myself in, and…

Bill: Well, I’ve struck a deal with the feds, so you don’t have to be haunted any longer. I’ve put it out of my mind, I want you to do the same.

Taylor: I am trying. Thank you. Do you know what, bill, you are– you are actually right. I– I do have some things to say to sheila. How soon can we see her?

Bill: Well, I’ve taken the liberty of– of making a call. So, they know that sheila is expecting a visitor.

Katie: You had a lot of faith in your power of persuasion.

Bill: I’m workin’ on it.

Taylor: Okay, so, are– are you ready to do this?

Bill: If you are.

Taylor: Let’s do this. I’ll meet you outside.

Bill: Gonna be here for a while?

Katie: All day.

Bill: Then I’m comin’ back. I’m gonna convince you to have that dinner with me. Won’t quit until I do. As hard as I worked to put sheila away, I’m gonna work even harder to get my family, my katie back. Family is just very important.

Carter: Good news. The budget increase you requested was approved. It’s good to know people in high places.

Katie: Mm. It’s a good thing I’ve been putting my time in with the C.O.O.

Carter: Mm-hmm. So, I talked to taylor earlier.

Katie: Mm-hmm?

Carter: She was looking for bill.

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: Said he wanted to meet her here.

Katie: She found him.

Carter: He was with you?

Katie: Mm-hmm.

Carter: It’s no surprise you were his first stop. There’s no secret that he wants you back now that this whole sheila saga is over.

Katie: Does that bother you?

Carter: It makes sense. Bill wasn’t bill when he was with her, but now that he’s himself again, he wants his life back. Any man would.

Hope: It always still amazes that after all this time worrying and wondering what life-threatening thing that sheila was going to pull next, she is finally out of our lives for good.

Deacon: Well, it was something that had to be done.

Hope: Well, of course it had to be done, after all the chaos that she’s caused in everyone’s life. I mean, from– from being finn’s birth mother to shooting steffy and finn to cutting off her own toe and faking her own death in order to avoid prison. I mean, dad, that is just a fraction of the crazy things that sheila carter has done. I mean, that woman is literally insane.

Deacon: Yeah, there is no doubt about it. There is no one like sheila carter.

Sheila: I don’t have anything scheduled with my attorney.

Guard: An attorney’s not gonna do you any good.

Sheila: Ah, well thank you for that brilliant legal analysis. Why– why am I here?

[ Door buzzing ] Eh, just take me back to my cell because I don’t– I don’t wanna see them.

Bill: You don’t have a choice. I’ll take it from here.

Guard: We’ll be right outside.

[ Door buzzing ]

[ Laughing ]

Sheila: Isn’t this an ironic pairing? The victim and his shooter. Hi, I’m angela.

Carter: Wait, hold on, so they’re at the prison now? Taylor agreed to go?

Katie: Yes. Bill said that he was able to confront sheila to tell her exactly what he thought of her and that taylor deserved the same opportunity and I agree. She lost a lot because of sheila.

Carter: Yeah, she almost lost her daughter. She shot finn and steffy in cold blood. Yeah, I can imagine taylor has a few things to get off her chest.

Katie: Yeah, and sheila is a captive audience.

Carter: Hm. Captive being the operative word.

Katie: Mm-hmm, thank god. I was beginning to think that we would never get that woman out of our lives.

Carter: Hm, I gotta give it to him. I mean, bill pulled it off. Dude fooled everybody, especially sheila.

Katie: She seriously thought she was going to be the next mrs. Bill spencer.

Carter: Yeah, his ruthless streak came in handy this time. We all owe bill a debt of gratitude.

Katie: Hm.

Carter: Has that changed the way you look at him?

[ Katie sighing ]

Sheila: Look, are you here to check up on me? And the last time we saw each other, I did fall on the ground with a heart attack, but I don’t want you to worry because I’m– I’m better now. I was such a fool. Believing that you could be kind. And loving. Compassionate. I– I truly thought you– you loved me. Yeah, we really opened up to one another, and for the first time in my life, I really felt seen. Respected. I trusted you and it was all just a lie. A setup to put me in here for life.

Bill: Well, you’re not such a fool after all. You’re getting it.

Sheila: I’ve never claimed to be a saint, ever, but what you did was deplorable. And you, as a psychiatrist, you must see that.

Taylor: Well, um, yeah, I mean, I guess as a– as a psychiatrist, I– I believe in kindness and compassion. To be honest, even if it hurts. You know, one of my greatest gifts is being able to find the innate goodness in someone. Shine a light on it so that they see it too and you know I believe that everyone has that quality. And then there’s you. Deplorable. Yes, that is shooting steffy and finn to save yourself. Gunning your own son down in an alley.

Sheila: That was an accident.

Taylor: Because you meant to kill my daughter. That’s why it was an accident. You almost took both parents from hayes, someone else you claim to love. But you are only capable of loving yourself. Who is gonna help you? Who can be there for you? That is who you love. Until you don’T. And then, it’s terrifying. I know because I’ve been on the other side of that. Just so scared. But you love to terrify people. You do. It gives you power and it makes you feel alive because deep down inside, you know you’re irrelevant. And thanks to– thanks to bill and ridge, you’re gonna be locked up here for the rest of your life. You almost took my daughter away from me and from everyone who loves her, but by god’s grace, you didn’t do it. I want you to listen to me. From this day forward, your name will never be mentioned again. And hayes won’t ever even know you existed. He won’t even know you walked this earth. The name sheila carter will mean nothing to my family and you will be erased from our lives… forever.

Ridge: I just thought, you know, we would spend some father-daughter time. We haven’t done that in a long time.

Steffy: What? Didn’t we just– didn’t we just do that?

Ridge: Yeah, sure. No, I just thought we’d go for a walk on the beach and some sushi. You know, that kind of stuff.

Steffy: But you knew I had plans tonight.

Ridge: Yeah.

Steffy: You did. But look, dad, this is wonderful. Like I said, this is amazing and I really loved it and it was super sweet. And I love you so much, but I gotta go.

Ridge: I love you more.

Steffy: I love you. Okay. Don’t eat all the cake. I will have some later.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: Love you. Thank you.

Ridge: Me more. Happy birthday.

Taylor: How did it go?

Ridge: It was– it was good. I wish you could have been here. It was, uh– it was nice. It was really nice.

Taylor: Oh, good. Good. I knew she’d love it. It was so special. And now she is–

Ridge: She’s, um, she not here with me.

Taylor: Because she is with her husband, spending her birthday with him.

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Okay. I mean, come on. You gotta love that steffy has finn, right?

Ridge: Yes!

Taylor: Because there’s no more heartache. There’s no more drama. It’s the complete opposite of what she had with liam. He was such a fool to let her go. And then finn came along.

Ridge: And everything was perfect. No, look, I get it. She’s gonna spend her birthday with anybody but me, then it– yeah, should be finn.

[ Taylor laughs ]

[ Knock on the door ]

Steffy: Oh, liam. Hi.

Liam: Hi.

Steffy: I thought finn forgot his key again.

Liam: No, no, no. Just me. But I– I know you have birthday plans tonight.

Steffy: I’ve– I’ve got a few minutes. Come on in.

Liam: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

Liam: Okay. So, uh, not gonna stay long. I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy birthday.

Steffy: Aw. Thank you.

Liam: Also, I brought your favorite instrument of torture, mr. Quacksworth. Kelly was asking about it.

Steffy: Oh, right.

Liam: And yeah, I could pretend like that was the only reason, but it’s not. I– I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about you all day. I’ve been taking the walk down memory lane. Thinking about our life together. All the stuff we’ve been through and I just– um, we were really fortunate, weren’t we?

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Cha cha cha.

[ Laughter ]

[ Duck squeaking ]

[ Both laughing ] If you’ve had sensitivity, those zingers can really cause

Taylor: This is good.

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Taylor: You know, steffy really has lived two incredibly different lives with two incredibly different men.

Ridge: It’s amazing to me that you keep forgetting the other incredible that she had in her life.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Ridge: It doesn’t matter. How was your breakfast with steffy?

Taylor: Hmm. It was wonderful. It was fun. It was wonder-fun. Okay. You know, I love being here for– for these celebrations. I missed out on so many.

Ridge: Don’t do that. The kids always knew that you were here in spirit, even when you were out saving people.

Taylor: I know. I know. But it still– it still hurts right here.

Ridge: I get that.

Taylor: Yeah. But can you believe that our little girl, our little steffy, she’s– she’s married. She has two kids and she runs an international fashion house.

Ridge: She co-runs it, but yeah. No, she– she’s very, very ambitious. I wonder where she gets it. I love that kid. And not just because she has achieved so much, but because… because of the person she’s become. We should take some credit for that.

Taylor: Should we?

Ridge: Nah.

Taylor: You know, steffy– steffy deserves all the joy this life has to offer. And you know what? She found it with finn. She’s probably in his arms right now, where she belongs on her birthday.

Steffy: That is so not true.

Liam: It is absolutely true. She was there first. You jumped out of the damn car to stand in the parking space.

Steffy: So, we could be first in the space. I wasn’t gonna be– I wasn’t gonna miss the first song of concert, okay? So you’re welcome. You’re welcome.

Liam: Fine.

Steffy: You’re welcome.

Liam: Fine. I’ll tell– I’ll give you this, there is nobody quite like steffy forrester.

Steffy: I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment.

Liam: Oh, it’s a compliment. Trust me. It’s a compliment. You gotta think. I mean, for a huge chunk of our lives, we were everything to each other.

Steffy: Yeah. The hell we shared. Wow.

Liam: Yeah. It’s funny. At the time, I kinda thought it would last forever.

Steffy: Yeah, me too. But we have the memories.

[“The song that never played”]

Notes on a page

have all been arranged

trying to find

the words to say

what I’ve been thinking

I spent all night

working so hard to write

but, by the time

I got it right

I looked, you were gone

well, the melody was perfect

but all the while

I was blind

without someone to listen

there’s no reason or rhyme

and now I write here alone

so you’ll finally know

how you and I became

the song that never played

Liam: Two, three.

Steffy: I’m okay.

[ Steffy gasps ]

Liam: Yeah, you’re not– you’re not going anywhere. Neither am I.

Notes on a page

have all been arranged

Steffy: Mr. And mrs. Spencer.

Liam: Finally.

Steffy: Forever.

Liam: Forever.

What I’ve been thinking

Liam: Hey, you know something? Our love, it’s– it’s changed, but… it’s never going away. Happy birthday. I love you.

I have type 2 diabetes,

Ridge: She just left.

Taylor: Oh, come on, ridge. It’s her birthday.

Ridge: What? No. No. I don’t mean– kindergarten. Do you remember? She– she just left. All the other kids who were clinging onto their parents’ legs crying and… steffy just left. Just turned, walked into that room and never looked back.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, you knew that was coming because she stood up and started running before she could walk.

Ridge: Our beautiful, independent daughter.

Steffy: How is

everybody feeling?

[ Crowd cheers ]

Taylor: Our wild child.

[ Ridge grunts ] You know, as– as parents, we just want our kids to be safe and happy. She found that with finn.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Finn?

Finn: Kelly and hayes are already out for the evening. They already wished you a happy birthday. Now, it’s my turn.

Steffy: You did not have to do all of this.

Finn: What? Ah, you wanted a quiet dinner at home. And if I’ve learned anything being your husband, it’s how to take orders.

Steffy: Hey!

[ Finn laughs ] Our lobster rolls from our favorite restaurant? Favorite pinot grigio. Talk about a celebration, baby.

Finn: Oh, well, we have a lot to celebrate and give thanks for. We made it through some insane challenges that– that would break most people, but, uh, not you.

Steffy: Close. But thankfully, you’re still here.

Finn: Yeah. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express just how grateful I am that you appeared and came into my life and changed it the way you did. I mean, before I met you, I was committed to my work. I– I had no idea what I was missing. Now, I have this brilliant, beautiful wife who always keeps me on my toes.

[ Steffy laughs ] This wonderful, growing family. You taught me balance, fulfillment. Can’t imagine my life any other way. I love you.

Steffy: I love you. Nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Steffy: We are so lucky. Our love, we skirted death. We danced with the devil. We went halfway around the world. This birthday means more to me just… just because I have you here. You know, you… you saved me when we met. You gave me a second chance at life, love, family. And I couldn’t be more happier and more grateful with what we built.

Finn: I got you a gift.

Steffy: I am looking right at my gift. You. You’re here. You’re home. My incredible husband. Amazing father. So happy you’re here. Especially after everything. Things I’ll never forget.

God, finn, can you hear me,

please? Please, finn. Finn. Took off to monaco. I– I thought you were gone.

Finn: But I wasn’T. And I knew she wasn’T.

Sheila: I am taking care

of you.

Finn: No. I wanna see

my wife. I had to get out of there. Make it free and come find you… in monaco. I looked everywhere for you. I looked and I looked.

[ Church bell ringing ] And then…

steffy!

It’s me! It’s me!

I found you.

Steffy, it’s me.

It’s really me.

[ Steffy sobbing ]

Honey, I’m alive.

[ Church bells ringing ]

Steffy: Gosh, we heard the bells. That’s when I saw you. I found you. Oh, I couldn’t be more grateful for that moment.

Finn: Yeah. About the present?

Steffy: Baby, forget about the present. I– I wanna be–

Finn: Just… please open it.

Steffy: Okay. What is this?

Finn: Yeah. Press– press the button.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Church bell ringing ] Oh, my goodness. You got the bells? Are you kidding?

Finn: I had an italian craftsman– yeah, I installed them in the tower.

Steffy: Oh, my god! Thank you. Oh, my gosh, finn. I can’t believe this.

Finn: Well.

[“Reverie”]

Almost too good to be real

’cause this is how love

used to feel

and I think most every

moment with you is reverie

every moment with you

is reverie

Finn: Happy birthday.

[ Relaxing music ]

Liam: So, I think, um– I think maybe there’s been a– a misunderstanding. I didn’t come here because I need you to reassure me about my marriage.

Thomas: I get it. You don’t like hope spending time with me.

Liam: That’s true, but… I trust hope. I just don’t trust you.

Thomas: Sure, and I– I haven’t really given you a reason to trust me.

Liam: And you’ve never given me a reason to change my mind.

Thomas: But maybe I can in time. Everyone knows that hope is committed to you and your marriage.

Liam: And nothing is gonna change that, including you. You understand that, right?

Steffy: Sometimes things work out the way they’re meant to. Sheila’s in jail, our families are safe. I’m happy with finn and our kids and douglas is back with you and liam and beth and you’re happy and in love with liam.

Hollis: I mean, it’s been a lot of time since our dinner and I still can’t stop thinking about you. I just know that there’s so much more that we can have together. Much more.

Brooke: Hollis, you’re very sweet and sexy, a good kisser, but you’re looking to date and I’m not ready yet.

Hollis: Yet.

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Okay. You are relentless.

Brooke: I am flattered, I truly am, but I think our days of special deliveries are over.

Hollis: Look, maybe dinner at your house wasn’t as romantic as it should have been.

Brooke: Oh, no. No, it was. It was lovely. And that kiss. Oh, my gosh, that kiss. But as much as I enjoyed it, I’m not sure I’m ready to jump into something.

[ Taylor clears her throat ]

Taylor: Oh, hello there. You’re looking a little flustered.

Brooke: Whoo.

Taylor: So is–

Brooke: I am.

Taylor: So is there gonna be another dinner with hollis or did you chase him away?

Liam: Hope brought you back for one reason, to help save her line.

Thomas: And we’re gonna make that happen. I’m not gonna let her down.

Liam: That’s awesome because you are a valuable co-worker to her, but nothing more. So, please understand, all the long hours, all the talk about teamwork and partnership, there’s no hidden message there. It’s all about hope for the future. It’s not about you.

Steffy: If thomas does become a problem for you, I– I wanna know.

Hope: He won’t be.

Steffy: I’m glad to hear that, but I do have high hopes for this partnership. But if thomas does step outta line or if you need some distance, you can come to me. I– I do want hope for the future to succeed, but I also want you to feel supported. Our moms are doing it and I hope we can do that too.

Hope: Thank you. Steffy, I– I appreciate that. I really do, but your brother has just been a complete professional.

Steffy: I’m really glad to hear that.

Hope: Yeah, I just– I wish liam would believe it too. You know, I’ve tried to reassure him, but I don’t know, nothing seems to help. Maybe if he heard it though, coming from someone who– who works here at the office and knows firsthand how thomas and I interact. I mean, I know you already kind of broached the subject with him, but maybe it’s worth trying again. You know, help liam see that there’s nothing to worry about when it comes to thomas and me. Keep it quilted means you keep it the best…

Steffy: You want me to help you out with liam?

Hope: Well, I just– maybe you might be able to get through to him. I mean, talk to him, reassure him, it might make more of a difference coming from you.

Steffy: I– I tried, I tried to make it clear to him that I think my brother has changed. And his obsession with you is in the past.

Hope: And liam just wouldn’t listen.

Steffy: Hope. Okay– okay, I will, uh– I will give it another shot. I will talk to him again.

Hope: Thank you.

Steffy: Yeah, of course. It’s the least I can do. You let thomas come back to hope for the future and yes, it was right for the line, but it was also so good for him. I’ve never seen him so motivated and energized.

Hope: Yeah, I can see it too.

Steffy: But if– if thomas, like, freaks you out, being around him in any way, like, come to me. Know that I’m here for you.

Taylor: Hello? You’re quiet all of a sudden.

Brooke: Yeah, sorry.

Taylor: That’s okay. What’s going on? Are you thinking about hollis asking you out to dinner again?

Brooke: I wish, no. Probably something I can’t do right now.

Taylor: Right, because you want to focus on your family?

Brooke: Yes. And this isn’t about ridge?

Brooke: No, nothing like that, no.

Taylor: Okay. Well, you’re thinking about something. Something’s wrong. What is it?

Brooke: Look, I don’t wanna get into it. We’re here, having a nice meal, nice dessert. I don’t wanna get too heavy. Probably reading too much into it anyway.

Taylor: Okay. And maybe– maybe your feelings are completely valid and we can work it out together. It’s kind of my specialty.

Brooke: It’s hope. Our relationship as mother and daughter. She would like to be the complete opposite of me.

Thomas: Hope and I have agreed to keep things professional.

Liam: Right, but hope doesn’t have a problem with boundaries. You do.

Thomas: I did, you’re right. But not anymore.

Liam: [Indistinct] Was so much easier if I could just, like, take your word for it.

Thomas: I’m not– I’m not expecting you to just take my word for it, all right? I– I know that my promises don’t mean that much to you, but I’m asking you to trust me.

Liam: I know, yeah, I know. You just want a chance to prove yourself. I know.

Thomas: Yeah. I do.

Liam: Listen, hope did what she had to do to save her line and I will always be supportive of her career, but thomas, she is not attracted to you. Hope is impregnably faithful and she loves me with all of her heart.

Thomas: Hope.

Liam: Hey.

Hope: You two playing nice?

Liam: Yup.

Thomas: Well, liam’s concerned about me, in relationship to your marriage. It’s not like I can blame him, all right. But I promised both of you that I am fully respectful of your marriage and your commitment to each other.

Liam: That’s all I wanted to hear. You wanna– do you wanna get out of here? Do you wanna, uh, grab some lunch or something?

Hope: Actually, uh, thomas and I still have some work to do, but I won’t be late.

Liam: Okay. I’ll see you later.

Hope: I’ll see you soon.

Thomas: Um, I meant what I said and I don’t think liam’s gonna believe me, but, I promise, hope, I don’t want to cause any issues for you or your marriage or turn your world upside down, ever again. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Brooke: My daughter doesn’t want to be anything like me.

Taylor: Do you think she really meant it like that?

Brooke: Those were her exact words.

Taylor: Okay. What– what sparked it? Have you been arguing?

Brooke: No, I mean my past hasn’t been an issue between us for a long time.

Taylor: Wait a minute. She– she brought up your past?

Brooke: My relationships with inappropriate men. I do regret the pain that my decisions have caused my family. I do, but you know what, those were my decisions to make and I made them. And whether they were right or wrong, it doesn’t really matter. I’m not gonna beat myself up for following my heart.

Taylor: Are hope and liam having problems?

Brooke: Every time I ask her, she just gets more and more upset. So, I am concerned, yeah.

Taylor: That makes sense. I understand that. But hope and liam will work it out. I– I do believe that. Hope is so in love and committed to liam.

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Steffy: Hey, hey, are you looking for hope?

Liam: No, no, actually I just saw hope. But if you’re busy, I can, I–

Steffy: No, no, actually, um– I– I need to speak with you.

Liam: Okay. Is it about kelly? Did she clock another boy?

Steffy: No. No, no, it’s– it’s about hope. I’m not trying to bring up a bad subject, but we’ve already had this discussion and um–

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah, and hope she– she came here and she, um…

Liam: Steffy, she what? She came here.

Steffy: She’s worried about your concerns with thomas.

Liam: Is she maybe starting to share those concerns?

Steffy: No. No and neither. No, and neither am I. But clearly, you still have a problem with it, so she asked if I could talk to you.

Liam: Oh, great. So now you’re both pleading his case.

Steffy: No, no, look, hope and thomas, they are doing really great work and they’re doing everything they can to rebuild their professional connection. She understands that you’re upset and she knows that she hasn’t been able to convince you, so she asked if I could help.

Thomas: Like I said, hope, I’m– I’m so sorry for the heartache and pain that I’ve caused you in the past. Especially when you came in and transformed our lives. When caroline died, douglas and I, we were lost, but you came in and you– you– you gave him a mother and you showed us both love and compassion that we needed. And I cannot thank you enough for that. I am so grateful for you, hope. And I promise, like I said before, I– I don’t want to come in between your marriage and disrupt your life, okay? But my feelings for you, well, they were valid. It makes complete sense that anyone could fall in love with you because hope, you’re amazing.

For your most brilliant smile,

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Hope and I have our differences, but I really admire who she is, who she’s become. And her morals and her principles, her priorities. But ever since her outburst, I’ve been really concerned.

Taylor: In what way?

Brooke: Are you having

feelings for another man?

Is it thomas?

Hope: This isn’t about me.

This is about you.

Brooke: All marriages have problems. That’s what I told her. You just have to face them together.

Taylor: And you really think that hope and liam are having issues?

Brooke: Their marriage has been under a lot of pressure.

Taylor: Oh, it’s because of hope working with thomas. Oh, I wish there was a way to convince liam that thomas had truly changed.

Liam: Hope wants you to speak to me?

Steffy: I told her I already had. Look, I’m– I am just trying to be completely transparent with both of you, but I am in a weird position because part of me feels like hope wants me to defend my brother and…

Liam: Which you… you have an issue with?

Steffy: No, no, not at all. And that is the strangest part of all because after everything my brother did, all the infuriating and destructive things he has done, I truly believe when he says it won’t happen again. My brother is working on himself. He is on the straight and narrow. He’s going to therapy. He is focused on work.

Liam: Well, yeah, he’s focused on hope’s collection, where he gets to spend as much time with her as he wants.

Steffy: Okay. The feelings thomas had for hope, they are in the past. They will not interfere in your marriage, okay?

Hope: I’m not perfect.

Thomas: Well, maybe you don’t see yourself that way but douglas does.

Hope: Well, he’s a little boy, of course, he looks up to both of his parents.

Thomas: Right, but only one of his parents deserve it. You gave douglas a future. He loves you so much.

Hope: And I love him.

Thomas: Yeah. Even when– even when he wasn’t living with you, when he was living with me, or when he was living with steffy, he still knew you were there for him. He could always count on you. You’ve always been that for him. You– you’re just incredible and– and in his life and I honestly, I– I can– I thank you for all of that. And I– and I wanna show you all the gratitude in the world, but honestly, I– I– I– I– I don’t want to freak you out or… yeah.

Hope: You’re not.

Thomas: No?

Hope: No. You and caroline created a beautiful, amazing boy and I am just– I’m lucky that I get to be a part of his life.

Thomas: Okay. Even if, um– even if his father is a part of the package?

Hope: Yeah, sure. Even if his father is a bad boy every now and then.

Thomas: Oh, well, good thing you’re the good girl.

Hope: Hm. It’s not as easy as it looks. To be honest, thomas, most of my life has felt like me trying to be someone different than my mom. You know, she had a tendency to jump from one man to the next, chasing passion and desire. She thrived on the attention and I judged her for it. I thought it was inappropriate, but maybe really, she was just following her heart. Maybe I was wrong.

Thomas: Um, what are you saying?

Hope: I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m just trying to still figure my life out.

Thomas: Aren’t we all doing that? There is one thing I know for sure.

Hope: What is that?

Thomas: Your place in douglas’s life? Like when– when things are going crazy. I don’t know which way is up. I’ve got two things, right? I’ve got my work and I’ve got our son and you’re always there for him. And I know it’s really, really cheesy and I’ve said it before, but you honestly are the hope for our future.

Hope: Well, thank you, thomas. I– I needed to hear that.

Thomas: Maybe I am the bad boy, but you’ll always be the good girl. You’re like an angel.

[ Steffy laughing ]

Liam: Wait, did I– is that– go back, go back.

Steffy: Here.

Liam: Did she– she pushed that kid. Kelly pushed that kid over.

Steffy: What can I say? Our daughter loves a scavenger hunt. But she did share her prize with all the other kids.

Liam: Aw.

Steffy: She is such a determined little girl.

Liam: Yeah, she is. Now, who– who does that remind me of?

Steffy: I don’t know. It’s so weird. Yeah, she’s my mini-me for sure.

Liam: Thank you for that. I needed, uh, to laugh a little.

Steffy: Are you still stressing over thomas?

Liam: No. No, I’m not– it’s not that I’m– I– okay, maybe a little bit. I just– I want to support hope, right. I want to support her decision-making. I just– yeah, I don’t know if– if I can trust thomas around her here.

Thomas: I am so thankful for you and you being willing to give me another chance in your life and it’s just, it’s a testament to the kind of person that you really are. What did you decide on the fringe, hope?

Hope: Uh, huh? What?

Thomas: The, uh, the camel coat we talked about?

Hope: Oh, right. Um, right.

Thomas: Hope.

Hope: What?

Thomas: Is everything okay?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Taylor: I am loving the menu here. Everything is just amazing, right? It’s, um, it’s decadent in all the best ways.

Brooke: And the company’s not so bad either.

Taylor: Very true. And the company’s about to get even better.

Hollis: Well, hello, ladies.

Brooke: Hi, hollis.

Taylor: Hi.

Hollis: It’s good to see you, both of you.

Taylor: Oh– oh, I exist today.

Hollis: How’s everything?

Brooke: Uh, the food is fabulous.

Hollis: Well, I’m glad you’re enjoying yourselves.

Taylor: I’m glad that brooke suggested that we come here. This has actually become one of our favorite restaurants. I can’t imagine why.

Hollis: I’ll send over some dessert later, on the house.

Taylor: Oh, that’s very sweet. So, do you, uh, send dessert over to all your return customers?

Hollis: Just the extra special ones.

Customer: Hey, hollis. I had a question about the wine list. I’m looking for something kind of smooth and velvety. Maybe stop by my table when you get a chance.

Hollis: Sure. Yeah.

Customer: Thanks.

Taylor: Mm, smooth and velvety.

Brooke: I guess some people come here for more than just the food and the wine.

Taylor: Yeah, I bet most of the customers come here to flirt with hollis, just like that one was doing.

Hollis: I didn’t notice. There’s only one woman who’s got my attention.

Steffy: Everyone is in a really good place, including my brother.

Liam: That’s what I keep hearing.

Steffy: Your skepticism makes sense. Thomas has given you a million reasons not to trust him. I get it.

Liam: But– but to your point, that’s the thing. I trust hope.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Liam: That should be the most important thing. So, what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just focus on the fact that my wife knows what’s good for herself?

Steffy: Because you’re trying to protect someone you care deeply about. We all do that. I wouldn’t be saying this if I didn’t believe it. And I wouldn’t have pushed hope to work with thomas if I had seen any red flags.

Thomas: Are you okay?

Hope: Me? Yeah. Yeah, everything’s fine.

Thomas: You sure?

Hope: Yeah. It’s just, remember that conversation earlier?

Thomas: About crazy thoughts?

Hope: Yeah, I just– I might be having one of those moments. Man: I’m not slowing down anytime soon.

Taylor: Okay. All right. I know that you weren’t ready then, but I can see that you’re excited. I– let’s– let’s just review the highlights of your– of your dinner with hollis, okay? Okay, you had a gorgeous guy over. You laughed a lot and you made out.

Brooke: I wouldn’t say made out.

Taylor: Yes, you’re the one that said it was hot.

Brooke: It was.

Taylor: See, that’s what I’m talking about. I mean, I guess first kisses are always great, right?

Brooke: Especially with hollis.

Taylor: See, that’s the look I’m talking about. I–

[ Taylor clearing her throat ]

Hollis: Can I get you ladies anything?

Taylor: Um, I am good. Brooke, are you sure there’s not anything you want?

Brooke: No. No, I’m fine, thank you.

Hollis: Oh, brooke, you are so much more than fine. You are absolutely beautiful.

Taylor: Oh, would you look at that? I have a client that I need to call.

Brooke: Taylor. I’m– I’m sorry, she’s being so obvious.

Hollis: No, it’s okay, I actually kind of liked it. Do you mind if I sit for a minute?

Brooke: Sure. Go ahead.

Hollis: It’s really nice to see you, brooke.

Brooke: It’s nice to see you, hollis.

Hollis: Look, I know I should probably be playing this a little more cool, but um, god, I can’t stop thinking about you.

Brooke: Really? Really?

Steffy: You are in a tough position. You’re trying to honor hope’s wishes, respect her career while trying to keep her safe and your marriage healthy.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I just don’t want thomas taking advantage of her kindness and generosity.

Steffy: And that’s a valid concern because he has in the past.

Liam: Yeah, well, I mean, he’s manipulated all of us at one point or another. But that’s– that’s– that’s why I have a hard time believing he’s just like, cured now. Like all of a sudden, he’s a well-adjusted stand-up guy.

Steffy: If it’s any consolation, he is laser-focused on work. He’s trying to put out the best line possible. And honestly, I don’t sense any weirdness from thomas towards hope.

Liam: Really? I– okay, I’m glad to hear you say that because the guy is getting to spend a lot of time alone with my wife. Oh, my god, listen to me right now. Like I sound so jealous.

Steffy: But you’re– but you’re not. You’re just a nurturing, concerned husband. There’s a big difference and hope understands that. She appreciates it. She appreciates you. We all do.

Thomas: You know I’ve had, uh, I’ve had my fair share of wild thoughts in the past. When your– your mind starts racing, your heart starts beating and I don’t know, it feels like you have this overwhelming anxiety. But I– I’m sure that my version of wild thought and our version of wild thought are very different. But, uh, now, I’m not thinking those kind of thoughts anymore, right. My wild thoughts are having to do with pushing the envelope when it comes to design, right? Like, uh, what do I do with the neckline? And if I do this, is it too much, right? If I add a sequin here, is that too much? If I– if I put ruffles here, is everyone gonna go mad?

Hope: Well, of course, they are because everybody hates ruffles. Don’t you know that?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Thomas: No, that was great. That was great. I’m so glad that we can laugh like this and you’re comfortable enough around me, you know? Um, there was a while where I wanted it all with you and um, now I’m just– I realize that what we have, it’s more than enough. I am so grateful you’re in my life.

Hope: I’m grateful for you too, thomas.

…I’m over 45.

Hollis: Look, brooke, I’m sorry if I’m being too forward, I am, but I had a really great time with you. And I know we only hung out once. And for all I know, it was some silly dare that taylor put you up to. And everyone says that ridge is your– your true love, but I don’t know. At the end of that night, that kiss that we shared, I’ve never experienced a kiss like that before.

Brooke: Oh, come on, hollis. You have girls falling at your feet everywhere flirting with you, like that– smooth and velvety back there.

Hollis: Yeah, well, what about you, brooke? I mean, come on, you’re this world-famous fashion industry icon. You got men falling at your feet left and right.

Brooke: Please, that’s nonsense.

Hollis: No, no, it’s not.

Steffy: I’ll need a report from international by tomorrow. Okay. Yes, absolutely. Yes, pilar will get back to me with a report. Mm-hmm. And a proposal. Yes. Yes, she will. Yeah, come on in. All department heads need to report to me. Thank you. Okay, bye bye.

Hope: You didn’t need to get off the phone.

Steffy: No, no, it’s fine, I was just finishing up.

Hope: Okay. Um, well, I actually was wondering if we could schedule a meeting to go over hope for the future’s latest designs because your brother is on quite the roll.

Steffy: That’s awesome. Yeah, he is really coming through for us.

Hope: He is. I mean, honestly steffy, I haven’t seen him this inspired in– well, ever, really.

Steffy: So, how are things outside of work?

Hope: Oh, uh, well, douglas being home has been wonderful, so thank you again for taking such great care of him.

Steffy: Absolutely, of course. And um, you and liam? I know that liam has some issues with you and thomas collaborating.

Hope: Yes and I wish that weren’t the case.

Steffy: I know, but he loves you and he’s just looking out for you and the kids.

Hope: No, I know. I know he means well. I just– I don’t think he’s ever going to be convinced that thomas isn’t the man that he used to be.

Steffy: Yeah, actually I– I was just– I was talking to liam and that is something he is struggling with.

Hope: Well, I mean, everyone has seen the leaps and bounds that thomas has made. I mean, not just me, but I know you’ve seen it. I mean, everyone here at work.

Steffy: Yeah, thomas is coping very nicely. Like he’s working well under pressure and honestly, I don’t see any of his old patterns re-emerging. And trust me, I am looking very closely.

Hope: Mm. And you made that clear to my husband?

Steffy: I told liam he has nothing to be concerned about when it comes to you and thomas. I’m right, aren’t I?

[ Knock on door ]

Thomas: Hey.

Liam: Hey.

Thomas: Uh, if you’re looking for hope, I think she’s in with my sister.

Liam: Uh, no, actually I’m uh, here for you.

Thomas: Oh, all right. Uh, what’s up? Uh, here, my new design. You wanna check it– check it out?

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. That’s really good.

Thomas: Thanks. Um, I– I appreciate that. It’s– we’re trying some new things, you know. This is like a much more comfortable vibe and not just obviously with the– with the designs, but with the artistic process, everything. It’s like a whole new everything.

Liam: Including you?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, I– I feel like I’m a completely different person. But you’re not buying it?

Liam: No, it’s– it’s not that, it’s just– it’s a little convenient, you know, given the last time and the time before.

Thomas: Well, hopefully at some point we can only focus on the future and not constantly be looking in the past.

Liam: Yeah, that’s actually, I was– I was just talking to steffy about this.

Thomas: Speaking of someone that, um, I’ve been growing with. I mean, I think, uh– hopefully, I’ve repaired our relationship a little bit. Um, she seems happy about my progress and– and also with my family, there’s progress there too.

Liam: Yeah, she’s, uh– she’s really proud of you, thomas. She’s been a big advocate for you and she– she has reassured me that I don’t have anything to worry about when it comes to you and hope working together. I guess that’s why I’m here. I just, um… wanted to hear it from you. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Hollis: Look, brooke. All I’m trying to say is that you’ve been on my mind a lot since our dinner. And I know you said you didn’t want anything serious right now.

Brooke: I just got out of my marriage.

Hollis: Which I totally respect, but at least let me take you on a proper dinner date.

Brooke: You don’t have to do that, hollis.

Hollis: Yeah, but I– I want to. There’s this place in topanga I’ve been wanting to try. We’ll keep it totally casual. No pressure. I just feel like there’s a lot more here that we can explore. I know there is. What do you say? One kiss from brooke logan just isn’t enough.

Thomas: You got nothing to worry about.

Liam: Yeah, it’s just– it’s one thing to say that, but–

Thomas: No, I understand you’re– you’re apprehensive, especially after what you walked in on the other day.

Liam: Oh, you mean you and hope on the couch with your hands all over my wife.

Thomas: That is not what happened, okay? We were working together, I was making adjustments, she was on the riser and she fell into–

Liam: Thomas, I know. I– I understand that now. I just hope you can understand why I would have assumed the worst in the moment.

Thomas: Yeah, I get it. After everything that we’ve been through. Um, but I’m committed to who I am now, all right. I’m not gonna be backsliding into the old thomas and– and I am focused 100% on– on never jeopardizing what I have with hope now.

Liam: I’m trying so hard to believe that.

Thomas: I know that my word may not mean that much to you, but I am being 100% honest. My focus now is on the line, my relationship with hope as friends, as co-parents. I think we’re creating a great family for douglas in the way that we haven’t and we’re working well together here, okay? But I am not gonna be going after hope in any way. Making any moves on her, all right? And even if she came on to me, I would say no.

Liam: Okay, see that right there. Do you– do you hear what you’re saying? Do you see why that would worry me? That you’re entertaining that? Hope coming on to you as a plausible scenario. Thomas, hope is not going to be coming on to you because that is ridiculous.

Thomas: Of course not because she is fully committed to you and your marriage.

Steffy: So there’s no reason to worry about you and thomas, right?

Hope: No, of course not.

Steffy: Okay. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear you say that because I do feel as though my brother has changed.

Hope: I agree.

Steffy: I just think it’s important that we stay professional and avoid conflict.

Hope: I would love that because I– I don’t want any problems either.

Steffy: I would love that too and I mean, look at our moms. They’re kind of paving the way for us.

Hope: I know. I think they’re actually having lunch together.

Steffy: I think they are. It’s really nice that they’ve been able to move past their differences and come to a place of understanding. I really hope that we can do that too.

Hope: I would love that. I think it would be also really nice for the kids.

Steffy: Yeah, it would. And I’m– you know, I’m happy. I’m– I’m in love with finn and you’re in love with liam and I really do feel as though this is how things are supposed to be. Not to say things weren’t difficult at first.

Hope: Yeah, things were tough at times.

Steffy: Yeah, many times, especially when liam married you and we had our daughter, but it was tough, but I found finn. And I am absolutely in love with him and I just know he is my forever and I know liam is your forever.

Steffy: Did I forward you that invitation?

Liam: To what? Oh, to josephine’s birthday party? Yeah, I just keep meaning to ask kelly what she wants to get her.

Steffy: No, sky’s birthday. Also on your weekend.

Liam: Oh, my god. Why is our daughter so damn popular? She was invited to everything.

Steffy: I know, right? And the answer is a hockey stick for josephine and something sloth like for sky.

Liam: Sloth like?

Steffy: Yeah, she’s obsessed with them.

Liam: Oh, wow. Okay. Uh, yeah, I should– I should be able to make it there, like barely right after the– um, soccer match.

Steffy: Okay. Well, uh, let me know if you need help. I don’t want to step on your time, but I should be available.

Liam: No, no. Actually, uh, I might take you up on that just because, you know, hope’s been working overtime on the line, and I’ll probably be juggling three kids.

Steffy: Yeah. But it is nice to see hope motivated. Thomas too. I mean, there’s so much that has to be done before the next showing. They’re actually in a meeting right now.

Liam: Hm, imagine that?

Steffy: Am I hearing a tone?

Liam: No. Yeah, a little bit. Look, I don’t wanna– I don’t wanna be that husband.

Steffy: But…

Liam: But thomas is your brother, I know you love him, but you would be straight with me, right?

Steffy: Yeah, always.

Liam: Is he okay?

Hope: These numbers are higher than expected.

Charlotte: Yeah. I mean, it’s still a bit too soon to call it a complete turnaround from where we were a few months ago, but the early numbers are definitely promising.

Paris: Are we surprised though with thomas back on the line?

Thomas: Ha, ha, ha. No, no, no, this isn’t because of me. Hope for the future is a team effort. Zende, especially, your contribution hasn’t gone unnoticed. I mean, you’re as pivotal now as you were before I came back.

Zende: I appreciate that. But let’s give credit where credit’s due. No one, and I mean no one, shares hope’s vision the way you do and communicates it to us. You get her and her line better than anyone.

Paris: And the new promotional material?

Charlotte: Three days at the most, but I can push for two.

Paris: Okay, great. I’ve got several people asking.

Hope: Oh, that actually reminds me. I did get your email and thank you for putting that list together on such short notice because I would like to partner with all of them. I mean, they all seem worthwhile.

Paris: Yeah? Great. When you said you wanted new and dynamic charities attached to this line, I was a little bit worried about finding the right fits.

Hope: Oh, you found them, and then some. I mean, they all have such amazing positive messaging and that’s exactly what hope for the future is about. So, needless to say, I’m thrilled.

Charlotte: Okay, that puts more pressure on me to get that material ready, but I’ll have it tomorrow.

Paris: Even better.

Zende: More pressure on you? How do you think thomas and I feel?

Hope: Hey, hey, you two have been doing a phenomenal job. I mean, I know I’ve been putting the pressure on you guys to get this next collection out, but it’s been remarkable watching you give it your all. Really inspired by the new direction we’re going in. And you have all been so dedicated and focused, and it means a lot knowing that you have my back.

Thomas: Well, I think I can speak for all of us and say that we’re the ones that are thrilled. We’re just all so thankful to be working on the line.

Steffy: Is thomas okay?

Liam: Yeah, I– I’m just, um, I’m not trying to put you in an awkward position. I know he’s your brother and you want him to succeed obviously.

Steffy: Yeah, definitely.

Liam: And I respect that and more than that, I respect you as a businesswoman, but you’re the one who urged hope to bring thomas back on her line and I just, I got– I gotta think you wouldn’t have done that if you thought there was even a possibility that he’s not–

Steffy: No, no, they’re a successful team. A profitable one. And thomas is a really talented designer.

Liam: I know that. I’m not questioning that. I’m just– can he be professional? That’s the thing. Like, can– can thomas be content with– with a totally platonic, healthy working relationship with hope or is he already going down the same path he always goes down where he starts getting obsessed with my wife?

Liam: So, like, wait, I didn’t, just so you know, I wasn’t asking that out of nowhere. Like I– I walked in on something the other day–

Steffy: Ah yes, the infamous fall off the riser.

Liam: Oh, no. You heard about that?

Steffy: About your overreaction?

Liam: I– dude, no! I wasn’t– ugh. You should have seen it.

Steffy: Them tangled up on the couch. Yeah, I get it.

Liam: Okay, but no, but steffy, like what it looked like was bad.

Steffy: I’m sure it was completely innocent. He was helping break her fall.

Liam: Yeah, that has been made clear to me now.

Steffy: Okay, look, given thomas’s history, I do understand why you would be concerned, but–

Liam: But– but what? Are you saying I have a reason to be concerned?

Steffy: No, no, no–

Liam: Really? Are you sure, ’cause?

Steffy: No, not any more. I’m sure. I’m sure. I do believe thomas has made some real significant changes. I wouldn’t have asked hope to work with thomas otherwise.

Liam: Even if it was good business?

Steffy: Liam! I wouldn’t ask hope to work with thomas if I thought thomas was a danger to her. No, look at me. I would not put hope or your marriage at risk.

Liam: Okay.

Charlotte: Thomas had a one track mind, all about you, but I can really see a change in him. He’s different. He’s– he’s a really good guy.

Hope: Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.

Thomas: Hey, uh, tell me you heard from that guy from paris. You’re waiting on a really big order?

Hope: Fingers crossed, we will hear from him today.

Thomas: Great.

Zende: Hey, guys, I’m gonna head down to the sewing room. I want to make sure that they got that fabric change we were discussing.

Hope: All right, thank you, zende, appreciate it.

Zende: You got it.

Hope: Bye.

Paris: We are getting responses. Two charities confirmed already.

Hope: Seriously? That’s amazing.

Paris: And they have questions. Lots of them. Looks like I got phone calls to make. You’ll check on that promotional material?

Charlotte: I’m on it.

Paris: Bye.

Charlotte: And thomas, I just wanted to say that it’s so great having you back. Your talent and your energy. Let me know if you ever want to look over projections together.

Thomas: Sounds good.

Charlotte: Okay, we’ll set something up.

Thomas: I’m, uh, I’m glad we’re alone.

Hope: You are?

Thomas: Yeah, there’s something I wanted to say to you. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate what you said. It means a lot coming from you. Telling me that I’m doing a great job because I respect you. I respect you so much. I respect your work, the line. I also respect your message, and I promise I respect your marriage. Hi, I’m eileen.

Liam: I mean, don’t get me wrong, like I wanna believe you. I wanna be as confident as you are that thomas is just fine around hope.

Steffy: It’s just that history suggests otherwise? I understand your hesitation.

Liam: Well, yeah, I mean, like, it wasn’t even that long ago that you had to take a hard line with the guy, like you kicked him out of the company.

Steffy: I did, yeah, I promised thomas that he wouldn’t be working on hope’s line. He wasn’t even allowed here in this building. If I thought thomas was the same man he used to be, lying and manipulating, I would not expose hope to that kind of trauma. And I– and I wouldn’t put her or your marriage in harm’s way.

Liam: I know. You really think he’s changed?

Steffy: Yeah, I do.

Liam: It’s just, like, he’s made this claim before, you know that he’s all better now and we know what happened then or what always happens. I’m not, I– I sound like I’m not trying to trash your brother. In fact, I’m really happy that you’re confident about him. I just… okay, let’s say this is legit, right? And he really is working on himself. He’s trying to be a better man. Things can go wrong. Like what if it doesn’t last? What– what– what does that mean for hope then? And I wanna– I want to trust my wife’s instincts and I definitely don’t wanna be like a controlling husband.

Steffy: That is not who you are. I know you. The husband that you are is kind, nurturing and supportive. And hope knows that too, liam. How could she not?

Thomas: You know, I feel like we have finally made it to higher ground. You know, at a place of mutual respect and understanding.

Hope: It does feel that way, doesn’t it? It’s about time.

Thomas: Oh, it’s about time, all right. It is. Finally moving on from the past and– and the way that I was, my issues, and now we’re working together and parenting douglas, and I actually feel normal, you know. And so I’m– I’m proud of that progress.

Hope: I’m proud of it too. It’s been a long road.

Thomas: It has. But how I feel about you now? Well… it’s– my feelings for you are so much stronger and better and– and more mature than they ever were before. I mean, look, I– I– I thought that I was the answer to your problems. I thought that I was the person for you and that I could make you happy. But now I realize, I know, that it’s not me. Obviously, it’s liam. You guys are so happy together and you being happy, it brings me so much joy. And for a while, I was so sure about you and that led me to doing some pretty terrible things, um, things I regret. But at the same time that– that humbles me, you know, and that makes me turn into a better person. And this is just a really long winded way of me trying to tell you that I am so thankful for you and you being willing to give me another chance in your life, and it’s just– it’s a testament to the kind of person that you really are.

Hope: Wow. Well, um, you’re welcome, but I believe there is the right woman out there for you somewhere, especially now that you’ve done all this introspection and made all these changes to your life. I think even, hey, you might be ready for a relationship.

Thomas: Ooh.

Hope: You gotta lot of love to give, thomas.

Thomas: You think she’s out there, huh? The woman for me?

Hope: Oh, I know she is. It’s just maybe you haven’t met her yet? Or maybe you have? Perhaps even, she’s here at forrester?

Thomas: Do you have someone in mind?

Hope: I don’t know. I pick up on a vibe sometimes with you and paris.

Thomas: With paris? No, if there’s a vibe, it’s just a friendly one.

Hope: Uh, okay. Well, uh, what about sloan?

Thomas: The model?

Hope: She asked you out for drinks the other day?

Thomas: Yeah. No, she’s– she’s really cute. It’s just, you know, I, um, I think it would be fun, but the woman for me? Eh.

Hope: Okay, all right, fine. So, you don’t want an office romance, clearly. Uh, but I’m sure you must go out from time to time.

Thomas: You know what? It’s just– it’s not good timing right now.

Hope: Oh, so you’re too busy to date?

Thomas: You said it yourself. I mean, we have so much to do.

Hope: Okay, yes. But a date or two isn’t going to derail hope for the future or your inner progress, right?

Thomas: You’re starting to sound more like my mom.

Hope: Huh. Well, you know what? Taylor’s a doctor, so i will take that as a compliment.

Thomas: Okay, okay. Look, I am– I am excited to find the woman for me, right? And I– I do want that.

[Indistinct] In the potential, who knows, near future, but right now, that’s not what I’m focused on. I’m focused on work and– and creating the best line humanly possible. And honestly, I’m glad I’m doing it with you because I– I don’t think I could be doing the caliber of work that I’m doing with anyone else.

Hope: Thomas, I’m sure you could collaborate with anyone. I mean, especially now.

Thomas: Now that I’ve gotten past my, let’s call them rough patches? There were a few. Yeah. But I– I am glad that my, uh, crazy thought days are over.

Liam: You sure you’re okay?

Hope: Well, thomas, just because you have crazy thoughts, doesn’t mean you need to act on them.

Thomas: Had, not have. I– my, my crazy thought days are over.

Liam: Well, listen, I, um, I appreciate you lending an ear and I appreciate your support. I know you’ve got much better things to do than listen to me drone on and on about your brother, so.

Steffy: Hey, what could be more important?

Liam: Um, I don’t know, maybe the whole like running a company thing.

Steffy: Yeah. That’s true.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: It was a good talk. Thank you.

Steffy: Of course. I know you’re worried about this and I just don’t want you to bottle it up. So know that you can– you can talk to me, any time. Your happiness is important to me.

Liam: I’d be a lot happier if I had your confidence. There’s nothing to be concerned about.

Steffy: Life is full of concerns, but mostly small ones, like getting to birthdays and soccer games. Try not to stress about things that aren’t even there. I– I get it. But honestly, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to thomas and hope.

Thomas: What is it?

Liam: What’s wrong?

Hope: Just because you

have a crazy thought, doesn’t

mean you have to act on it.

Liam: You sure you’re okay?

Hope: That can never happen. [ Echoing ] Never. That can never happen. [ Echoing] Never. That can never happen. [ Echoing ] Never.

[ Dramatic music ]

Brooke: I– I still haven’t forgotten what you said the other night, hope. How you won’t ruin your marriage with liam. You won’t be drawn to the bad boy like I was. Honey, I can see that you’re struggling with something.

[ Brooke sighing ] Look, it’s really hard for me to imagine, but tell me, do you have feelings for thomas?

Taylor: So, is that a yes?

Ridge: To what? A family dinner with all my favorites? Yeah, of course.

Taylor: It’s actually a family dinner with all our grandkids favorites, so.

Ridge: What’s the difference? They like mac and cheese. I love mac and cheese. They hate kale. I hate kale. It’s the same thing.

Taylor: That’s because you’re a big kid yourself.

Thomas: Who is? Me? Dad?

[ Taylor laughs ]

Ridge: Yeah. Your mom’s giving me a hard time.

Taylor: Oh, no. I’m not. I’m just trying to plan a family dinner. And you know how hard it is for your dad to commit.

Ridge: Well, it’s gonna be a day like that. Okay. No, I am committed. I even helped you with the menu.

Thomas: Mac and cheese?

Ridge: Yeah, mac and cheese. He gets it.

Thomas: Yeah. I love this. Seeing you guys like this together and enjoying each other’s company. And don’t worry, I’m not gonna go too far on this. I’m not gonna try and play matchmaker again.

Ridge: That’s– that’s a good idea because she’s in the committed relationship already.

Thomas: Really? With who?

Ridge: Brooke.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Okay. All right. You guys both know that brooke and I are friends and we’re very serious about it, okay? We even made an oath. Friendship first.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Thomas: Well, I, for one, think this whole friend’s first thing is great, but you’re not gonna like start calling her logan too, are you?

Taylor: What? I mean, she just started calling me doc, so. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh. No laughs at all. Okay, fine. You know what? I think it’s kinda funny. All right, fine. You know what? Brooke and i have a new understanding. You guys just need to accept that. It’s based on transparency and trust.

Thomas: That’s great. I mean, how– how do you feel about that, dad?

Ridge: I’m so happy. This– look, after years of being rivals, it’s just amazing that they found each other. I just didn’t think it through. I didn’t think I was gonna get tossed to the side like that.

Taylor: Oh, karma’s a bitch. Oh. [ Laughs ]

Ridge: Just I’m not the be all and the end all. Not now anyway.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

Thomas: Oh, that– it looks like him not the be all, end all, it’s– hell may have frozen over.

Ridge: Yeah. Well, that’s– few months you leave and come back and you find this. I don’t know.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, welcome home to friendship first. You know, this frees me up. It really does. Now, I get to just smother my grandkids with love and affection. I’m gonna be a grand-smother. See? You’re not laughing at that either. I’m gonna do the same thing with you and steffy. I’m gonna smother you, okay? Yep. I am. And I’m sure that brooke is gonna do the same thing with hope.

Hope: Mom, what are you talking about?

Brooke: I’m asking you a question and not an easy one at that.

[ Phone chimes ] Is that thomas?

Hope: What? No.

Brooke: Well, then who is it?

Hope: Mom, seriously?

Brooke: If it’s thomas–

Hope: It’s not thomas. But even if it was, we work together. I mean, we’re trying to resuscitate my line. That means long hours and needing to talk to each other.

Brooke: Honey, I’m well aware of that, but I get the feeling that the things that you were saying to me the other night had more to do about you than about me. Plus, when I walked in here just a bit ago, the way you and thomas were communicating just seemed–

Hope: Seemed like what?

Brooke: Oh, honey, come on. You admitted to me that you find thomas attractive. I’m your mother. There’s nothing you can’t say to me. So, are there feelings on your part for thomas?

Thomas: So, how exactly is this whole smothering steff and me thing gonna work?

Ridge: You know what, I’d like to hear that too because these are two grown people.

Taylor: Oh, okay. Okay, okay. I know that smothering sounds a little intense and look, I know that– that you and steffy are adults and you have children of your own, but I have– I have some time to make up for.

Thomas: Time to make up for you being away? That wasn’t your fault.

Taylor: I know, but you know, I’ve been gone since then too. My work in africa–

Ridge: Your extremely important work in africa.

Thomas: Dad’s right. Look, you didn’t just frivolously travel around the globe. You were over there doing incredible work, helping save people’s lives. That’s something that steffy and I will always be proud of you for.

Taylor: Thank you, thomas. I love you.

Thomas: I love you too. I mean, you’re such an accomplished person. You– you really– you’re really incredible, honestly and– and I think all of us just respect you so much.

Ridge: Plus, you are easy on the eyes, so.

Taylor: Oh, god.

Ridge: What?

Thomas: Well, you are– you’re– you’re beautiful.

Ridge: See?

Thomas: Not just on the outside, on the inside too. And honestly, mom, you truly are an inspiration.

Taylor: Thank you. Are you trying to make me cry right now because I–

Thomas: Sorry.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Thomas: But I am kind of, ’cause I have one more thing to say. Um, you were talking about how– how you maybe weren’t always around, but we never– we never doubted your love for us. We always knew what you were doing was really important.

Thomas: And so I just, I need you to remember that we always have and will love and appreciate you.

Ridge: Well, they’re not the only ones that appreciate you. I know who you are. I see you. You were there when these guys were kids and they needed you. They needed a mom, they needed love. Needed a house. You were there when I was nowhere to be found and for that, I will always respect and admire you every minute of every day.

Brooke: You can trust me, honey. If anybody understands getting drawn into the bad boy, the inappropriate man, it would be me.

Hope: Why do you think that is?

Brooke: Why did I do it over and over again, you mean?

Hope: I mean, I’m curious. I’d like to know. I mean, I know things can get complicated, but if you knew you were playing with fire–

Brooke: How could I not get burned, right?

Hope: Exactly. I mean, why risk so much for men that you knew were all wrong for you?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: I’ve been asking myself that for years. Maybe I felt that I just needed more excitement in my life. Or maybe I was just self-sabotaging, which happened a lot. But you, honey, you are in an incredible marriage with a wonderful man.

Hope: I know.

Brooke: And liam is everything you’ve always wanted.

Hope: I know that too.

Brooke: So now, you’re telling me at this point in your marriage, you might possibly be having feelings for thomas?

Hope: What? I never said that.

Brooke: I know, I’m just trying to figure this out. You and I used to be able to talk about everything, but now, every time I bring up thomas, this is how you act. Honey, I just want you to know that I am here for you.

Hope: Mom, I know you always have my best interest at heart.

Brooke: Yes. Always.

Hope: Okay. So just believe me when I tell you that I do not have feelings for thomas, at least not in the way that you’re implying. Do I care about thomas? Yes, of course. He is douglas’s father and he’s an important part of my son’s life.

Brooke: And yours? (Vo) red lobster presents fun dining:

Taylor: Oh, my gosh.

Thomas: You know, we actually don’t tell you often enough what– what a great mother and grandmother you have always been. And I– I think we should do it more often. Right, dad?

Ridge: Yes. I got it. Taylor hayes appreciation day. All right. We just pamper her once a month.

Thomas: Great idea.

Taylor: You know what, I am– I am totally, totally down for that, but somebody has already beaten you to the pampering.

Thomas: Who?

Taylor: Kelly. She wanted to make something special for her grandma. So, she made me this.

Ridge: Oh, kelly gave you that. I thought you and brooke had matching bracelets.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Thomas: Okay. That can get a little weird. You– you– you two can have matching bracelets, but please don’t match her giggle ’cause that might get weird.

Taylor: Okay. Well, you know, forget about the giggle. I’m– I’m working on the jiggle. It’s never gonna happen though, ’cause–

Thomas: My mother.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Taylor: You know what? I have a new appreciation for brooke. I really do. You know, even that she was there for you and your sisters in any capacity when I was gone.

Thomas: Okay. But you– we– we were never offended when you were gone. I mean, like, you– having you back, that’s what’s most important. You’re– you’re the family’s moral compass. You know, you’re our heart.

Ridge: You know, he is right. This family’s not the same when you’re not here. So, when you came back, just lifted everybody’s spirits.

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you. I’m– I’m glad to be here. I’m– I’m so happy. I– I– I get to see steffy thriving with her family and– and you and douglas are close again and that makes me so happy. And, you know, I– I get to be here with my– with my best friend.

Ridge: Me? Your best friend?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: You can’t have more than one. You have a bff already. You got brooke.

Taylor: Okay. My other best friend.

Ridge: Oh, well, okay. My best friend or not, I’M… I’m glad you’re here where you belong.

Brooke: I don’t mean to make you defensive.

Hope: I’m not.

Brooke: Are you sure?

Hope: Yes.

Brooke: Okay. It’s just the other night, the way you were talking to me and looking at me wasn’t like you, hope. And I don’t mean to blame you or make you feel bad or anything. I’m just concerned about you and liam and your precious little family. Look, I know there’s been a lot of stress going on lately. Everything with sheila, and your line having some problems. And I know it’s not just merely a job to you. You put your whole self into your line and you wanna make an impact on the world. And for that, I– I’m so amazed. I– I’m in awe of you. Really, sweetie. And I can understand why you wanna work with thomas. He’s great at what he does. He’s very talented. It’s just thinking of you guys working together all day and then sometimes into the night, I know it’s putting a bit of a strain on liam and I don’t want it to hurt your relationship.

Hope: Mom, we’re working through things. And like I– I told you, I mean, we had a beautiful night together the other night.

Brooke: Yeah. Until you came up to my house and gave me a piece of your mind.

Hope: Mom, I appreciate your concern, but really you have nothing to worry about. But thomas and me, we just– we share the same passion for my line and– and the same vision for hope for the future. I mean, that is what our relationship is. It’s about work. That is all. The abcs of ckd

Taylor: Okay. Okay. Enough about me. All right. I’m gonna tell you a little secret. I– I love compliments, but I also hate them. Hope that helps.

Thomas: Okay. You don’t have to get embarrassed. All right? You deserve all the praise.

Ridge: And more.

Taylor: Oh, thank you, thank you, but can we focus on this guy? Can we focus on our kid and– and all the work that he’s doing? All the work that you continue to do. Thomas, I– I feel the changes in you.

Ridge: I feel them too. Very proud of you, son.

Thomas: Okay. Now, it’s time for me to be embarrassed. Um, no, honestly, like, your love and your support from both of you, that’s– it means the world to me because there’s a time where I was exiled from the family, from the company, and– and that was the most excruciating time in my life. And now, I get to be in my son’s life again and I get to be around you guys and I get to come to work and– and design, my passion. And– and the designs, honestly, they keep pouring out. Actually, this morning, I– I woke up at dawn and I made this one right here. I was actually, I was– I was gonna surprise hope with it. What do you think?

Ridge: What do I think? I– I think you’re brimming with talent.

Taylor: Ah, gosh, thomas. It’s– it’s– it’s beautiful.

Thomas: That’s good. That’s good. Thank you. My focus right now is just doing the best I can for hope for the future and, you know, winning back hope’s trust and her respect obviously. We– we do a great job working together and we’re also a great co-parents. I’m just glad that our relationship’s finally in a better place.

Hope: I don’t know what else I can say to convince you. I mean, is it because you think I’m projecting or whatever? Look, mom, I said a lot of hurtful things that were uncalled for and– and I do apologize.

Brooke: I appreciate you saying that, honey. Yes, some of those things were very hurtful. Not that I haven’t admitted the mistakes I’ve made in my life, especially with men, but that is why I appreciate you so much. The way you conduct your life, your morals, your principles, your commitment to liam. You don’t do anything scandalous. You’re never in the tabloids. You don’t sabotage your marriage by following your own deep inner desires. I just worry, honey, that’s all. I know that working with thomas has caused a bit of a strain in your marriage and I don’t wanna see anything happen between you, liam, and your kids.

Hope: Mom, I won’t let that happen. I love liam. I love my family and– I mean, we’ve overcome so many obstacles, so many challenges to get to where we are. I will not let anyone derail that. Okay, mom? I– I won’t allow it.

Brooke: Okay. Yeah. I’m glad to hear that.

Hope: Yeah.

Brooke: I love you so much.

Hope: I love you. I’m sorry.

[ Relaxing music ]

Ridge: Turn for me, please.

Thomas: What’s that look?

Zende: You don’t like it?

Ridge: I do like it a lot. Comfortable?

Sloane: And fun.

Thomas: It’s boho chic.

Zende: This style really speaks to me.

Thomas: Shows in your work.

Zende: Your design. I just included your notes.

Thomas: Take credit where it’s due, all right? This is a team sport.

Ridge: Quite a departure from the last collection.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, I thought it would be really cool to take one of the old designs and update it. Very poetic, you know. And also show the public we’re a force to be reckoned with. Hey.

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: You like?

Hope: It’s–

Zende: I think you took her breath away.

Liam: The marketing proposal, can you have that for me like tomorrow, end of day?

Wyatt: I can do one better. How about by noon?

Liam: Also, we have to talk about that cover before we meet with dad.

Wyatt: Oh, he came roaring back, didn’t he?

Liam: Well, ever since sheila went bye bye.

Wyatt: Right. I’m sure the same thing is going on for ridge. Missed all those months of work, right? Oh, you guys had that dinner last night? The family dinner? You and the kids and hope, brooke, ridge. Is he as amped to be back?

Liam: I– I wouldn’t know. Um, change of plans. Hope and i spent the evening alone, so.

Wyatt: Oh.

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: Oh, really?

Liam: Okay. Don’t– don’t do that.

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: That’s weird, wyatt. That’s–

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: Can you– can you– wyatt, why are you–

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: Okay, we’re in a restaurant. Please stop.

Wyatt: Am I right?

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: Yeah?

Brooke: Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get advances. Yes. Very exciting. And thank you for your enthusiasm.

Taylor: Hello.

Brooke: Hi. Ever since we announced that thomas is coming back as lead designer for hope for the future, we’ve had so much interest.

Taylor: Well, that makes sense to me. Our kids are a brilliant design team. The whole world knows it.

Brooke: I’m just so happy for hope. She’s so excited and she’s so energized.

Taylor: Yeah. Thomas feels the same way really, you know? God, there are so many things to celebrate right now. You know, I’ve been, um– I’ve been curious how your family dinner went last night with ridge.

Brooke: Oh, um… about that.

Taylor: What happened?

Brooke: Liam and hope and the kids, they couldn’t make it.

Taylor: Oh, okay. I’m sorry. So, you had to reschedule?

Brooke: No.

Taylor: No? So, you and ridge had dinner alone?

Taylor: But it was supposed to be a family dinner, really, right?

Brooke: Right.

Taylor: Right.

Brooke: Yeah. I mean, that was the plan. It’s just that at the last minute, hope came in and she told me she decided to spend some time alone with liam instead, and then she arranged these sleepovers for the kids, so.

Taylor: Okay. And so it was– it was just you and old ridgey?

Brooke: Yep. It was.

Taylor: Hmm.

Liam: Yeah, man. I came home to this uber romantic setting, courtesy of my beautiful wife.

Wyatt: Nice. Nice.

Liam: The kids were already at play dates, so.

Wyatt: Place all to yourselves. Judging by that stupid grin on your face, you made the most of it.

Liam: Did indeed. And oh, my god, did we need that.

Wyatt: Yeah. Good.

Liam: Yeah.

Thomas: I think I wanna bring this in just a tad. Make it a little bit more body conscious.

Zende: It’s subtle, but it does the trick.

Sloane: You really are an amazing designer.

Thomas: Thank you.

Sloane: I’d love to hear how you got that way. Maybe you’ll let me buy you a drink some night soon?

Thomas: Ah, well, I think that could be arranged. All right, well, we’re good. Here. I’ll– I’ll give you a call.

Sloane: I’ll be waiting.

Ridge: Oh, boy. To be young again, huh? Have fun, but–

Thomas: Be respectful and be smart. I remember.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: Okay.

Ridge: I was concerned about hope for the future, but you guys are pulling it off. I’m impressed.

Zende: It’s so good to have you back. No one gets hope for the future like you do. Am I right?

Hope: He certainly does.

Brooke: Nothing happened. It was just dinner with ridge.

Taylor: God, I cannot believe this, brooke. You cooked?

Brooke: What? God, no. No, I– I didn’t cook. I ordered out from il giardino.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: This is nice to spend some time with ridge.

Taylor: I’m really glad that you can be transparent with me about everything, especially when it comes to ridge. Thank you. God, we’ve come such a long way, haven’t we?

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: I trust you.

Brooke: I trust you.

Taylor: Good.

Brooke: Look, you have to know this. I take our vow very seriously. Men, they can come and go, but girlfriends, they last forever.

Taylor: Come here.

Wyatt: Thanks. So hold on. Let me– let me get this straight. Thomas caught hope as she fell off a riser in the design office?

Liam: I swear to god, wyatt, if you had seen what I walked in on.

Wyatt: Oh, I would’ve done a lot more than shove him, that’s for sure.

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: So– so you and hope, what, cleared things up last night then or no?

Liam: You know what, it was nice. It was really nice to just kinda like table thomas and– and focus on each other. Here’s the– here’s the thing. I know that hope and I are never going to agree on thomas because I look at him and I don’t see a better man. I see a better liar. I see an algorithm that is just learning with every failed manipulation.

Wyatt: So, did you tell hope though? Does she know how you feel about this?

Liam: Of course, she knows.

Wyatt: Okay. Then, unfortunately, you have to trust her. I mean, if she says one more move and thomas is out, then you have to believe that. You have to believe that she’s gonna handle it.

Liam: I mean, I know. I know. I– and– and the problem is I trust hope and I don’t trust thomas.

Wyatt: Right.

Liam: But you know what? It’s nights like last night that make me feel better because she made an effort. She showed up. She– she acknowledged my point of view. She thanked me for my– my– my patience. I mean, it was just– it was– it was really nice. And it– and it– it gives me certainty that thomas isn’t gonna interfere in our marriage.

Thomas: Have you, uh, heard from chief baker?

Ridge: Yeah. No, I talked to him earlier. Sheila still recovering from her heart attack and yeah, she’s gonna end up behind bars.

Zende: I am still blown away that you and bill were able to pull this off.

Thomas: Yeah. Teamwork makes the dream work. We know a lot about that, don’t we?

Hope: Absolutely.

Zende: We sure do.

Ridge: You know what’s nice? Being excited about a line again. Hope for the future, I think, is gonna be better than ever. And hope, I know you had some reservations about rehiring thomas. I think you made the right choice. A strong choice makes you the leader that you are, doing what’s right for the company. You guys make a good team. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Liam: Not to uh, overshare, but hope and I, we have not uh, connected like that in a long time.

Wyatt: I mean, you need that. I’m happy for you guys.

Liam: Yeah, I mean–

Wyatt: What?

Liam: Just– no, nothing. It’s not– there were like a couple of moments where she seemed a little off, I guess.

Wyatt: What do you mean?

Liam: No, she’s not– it wasn’t– I’m overplaying it. It wasn’t– she wasn’t off. She was just like– she would– oh, my god. And then, when it was over, she like got dressed like really, really fast and said she had to go see her mom.

Wyatt: Really? That’s odd.

Liam: Yeah, it was. It was super abrupt and weird. And I don’t know, it kind of freaked me out a little bit. So, I went up to the main house after she did, and I don’t know what she and brooke were talking about, but– but by the time I got there, it was– it was tense. Like hope was tense.

Thomas: So, what do you think?

Hope: It reminds me of, I don’t know, a different time when things were less complicated? I mean, it feels relaxed, comfortable.

Thomas: Yeah. Unstructured, but sensual. You know, that’s what this line’s all about.

Hope: Exactly. I mean, I’ve always been drawn to that sort of style. The– I don’t know, hippie-esque, flowy, ’60s vibe.

Thomas: Yeah. ’60s for sure. ’70s a little bit as well. I mean the– the hippie fashions and the boho were very similar in a lot of ways, but they’re also different. I mean, you know, boho is a little bit more– a little bit more romantic, right? I mean, the boho designs sort of incorporate the fringe and the– the flare, all those kind of things, right? I mean, it’s– it’s– it’s really impressive and cool how you see the– the– the designs expand over time and– and– and that sort of boho get a little bit more artistic and– and kind of complicated in a lot of ways and this is a lot of information you already know and I don’t need to tell you ’cause it’s boring you to death.

Hope: No, not boring. Not boring at all. It’s just– it’s nice to see you so passionate.

[ Thomas chuckles ]

Brooke: So did chief baker call you?

Taylor: He did. He told me that sheila was recovering from her heart attack in the prison hospital and that we don’t have to worry about her anymore. We don’t have to worry about her coming after any of us.

Brooke: Still blows me away actually, that we thought ridge was out there traveling around trying to find himself, and he was right here in town trying to help trap sheila.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. You know, keeping us safe and most importantly, keeping the futures of our grandchildren safe and secure, which is amazing.

Brooke: He truly is a hero. I– I don’t even know how we can begin to thank him.

Ridge: Well, you’re off to a pretty good start, but don’t let me stop you.

Brooke: Hey, you.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: So, how long have you been standing there?

Ridge: Oh, long enough.

Taylor: Okay. So, did you hear me and brooke talking about your– your dinner last night?

Ridge: Maybe, it wasn’t there long enough. No, I missed that.

Taylor: Oh, god. You missed the juicy part. I’m glad you had fun.

Ridge: Yeah, it was– it– it was wonderful.

Brooke: Yeah, it was. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Taylor: So, does it surprise you that brooke and i are friends?

Ridge: Honestly, it’s– it’s gonna take some getting used to.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Well, it was like that for us too. It was strange, but in a really good way.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. Yeah, it was. I mean, things are… things are really different now and I’m glad that the two of you had a good time last night. Alone even.

Brooke: Yep. Mm.

Taylor: Yeah. See, in the past I would’ve thought that– that brooke had that whole thing planned out.

Brooke: And nine times out of ten, you would’ve been right.

Taylor: I know.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Taylor: But not anymore. Gone are the days when brooke comes downstairs in a sexy nighty to lure you, you know? You okay?

Brooke: Yeah. I’m sorry.

Taylor: We trust each other now.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We do.

Ridge: Yeah. I always wanted you guys to get along and I– I’m realizing that I– I made that very challenging, but you guys found a way to rise above it and um, I admire you for it.

Brooke: Aw. We weren’t sure how you’d feel about this alliance.

Ridge: Hey, I’m behind whatever this is.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: A hundred percent. It means our families aren’t fighting anymore.

Taylor: That’s right. Our kids aren’t gonna have to choose sides anymore.

Brooke: They can make their own decisions. What’s best for them. What they need.

Ridge: Absolutely. I– I saw hope and thomas over there and they were– they weren’t fighting there. There was– there was no weird energy. It was just creativity and they’re gonna come up with a really, really good line. Proud of thomas. He’s working hard and I’m– I’m proud of hope too. She’s giving him another shot.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Okay. Well, I think I have to go talk to hope.

Taylor: Is everything okay?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: See you later.

Taylor: Bye.

Ridge: You’re not gonna hug it out? It’s another– okay.

Taylor: I know. Maybe, um, I think we’re up next. Family dinner.

Ridge: I would like that.

Taylor: Yeah, me too. And if thomas and steffy and finn and kelly and hayes can’t show up, then well, I’m just gonna cancel, so. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. We’ll be fine.

Ridge: I think so.

Liam: Thank you very much.

Waiter: No problem.

Wyatt: Um, so you didn’t overhear anything? You have no idea what they were talking about?

Liam: No, I have no idea. All I know is that it was something in the air, man. I mean, hope– hope loves her mother more than anything, but she’s made a very particular effort to live a different life from brooke and I think that there’s a small part of hope that just doesn’t wanna turn into her mother maybe? Or, I don’t know.

Thomas: This is zende’s latest design. I think he’s doing some pretty great work.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, yes. I mean, he just needed a little guidance and you know the line so well and exactly what will speak to me. Hell, even better than I know sometimes. I mean, your designs have been inspired.

Thomas: You can say that again. I have felt very inspired lately. Inspired in a lot of different ways. Inspired to be a– a better man, you know. I wanna be the best person I possibly can. The best father most importantly, but also the best brother and the best friend.

Hope: Well, you know, this– this whole gratitude thing goes both ways, right? I mean, you’ve been thanking me a lot for giving you a second chance, but really I should also be thanking you for giving my line another chance. And not just that, but also being a man of your word, actually doing the work. You have– you’ve– you’ve changed. Douglas has noticed it and I have too and I like what I’m seeing. Mom.

Brooke: Sorry to interrupt. I’d like to speak with hope alone, please.

Thomas: Sure, of course.

Hope: Is everything okay?

Brooke: Uh, well, just would like to catch up on our conversation we had the other night. Some of the things that were said. How you don’t want to be like me and fall for the wrong man, the bad boy. But hope, I have to ask since I just overheard some things… are you having feelings for thomas?

[ Romantic music ]

Brooke: I– I really shouldn’t be talking to you dressed like this.

Ridge: To be fair, I didn’t think you were gonna come down here dressed like this. Looks nice.

Brooke: Oh, ridge. We can’T. My friendship with taylor means too much. She and I promised.

Thomas: Are you sure you’re okay?

Hope: I just– I just want you. Why are you so good, liam?

[ Thomas sighs ]

Brooke: Okay. Wait. Okay. Taylor and I made a pact.

Ridge: You made a pact to stay away from me?

Brooke: Um, to avoid conflict, competition, for the sake of the family and for ourselves. Ridge, we’re not teenagers anymore. We can’t give in to every impulse, every desire.

Thomas: I am dedicated to

being the best person I can.

The best coworker,

the best father

and the best friend.

Hope: Great. In that case,

I think

it will work out.

Thomas: This is my last

chance. I get that and

possibly hope for the future.

So, look, I promise I will

not mess this up.

Liam: Well, that was– that was amazing. That was– you were amazing. Where did that come from?

Hope: I just wanted you to feel my love. Never forget that, liam. Never. We’ve seen what you would do for a klondike,

Liam: Hey, what you doing?

Hope: Um, I just– I need to go check on my mom.

Liam: Like– like now?

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: Uh, okay. Is everything all right? ‘Cause it kind of seemed like you were maybe dealing with something earlier.

Hope: No, no, no. Everything– everything’s fine. I just need to make sure that a situation is under control.

Liam: Situation? So, this has to do with your mom?

Hope: It has everything to do with my mom.

Liam: Oh. Okay. I’ll just–

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: Hope’s gonna love it.

Ridge: Listen, I don’t want to cause any trouble between you and your new bff, taylor.

Brooke: Took us a long time to become friends. And I’m not gonna break our pact the first evening that I’m alone with you. But doesn’t mean you need to rush off. This is a big empty house and I just need some company sometimes, so let’s talk.

Ridge: You want to talk, dressed like that? That is what you want to do, is talk?

Brooke: Yeah, I do.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: You’ve seen me in a lot less, ridge.

Ridge: Not lately.

Brooke: Well, thanks to thomas and his phony cps call. Sorry.

Ridge: No, I’m sorry. I– I can’t believe I thought that was real.

Brooke: But you did. You took off after taylor. You went to aspen and I followed.

Ridge: I should have just stayed and we could’ve talked and figured it out.

Brooke: Ridge, come on.

Ridge: What? Why– why can’t you just say it? You owe me that.

Brooke: Okay. I’ll say whatever it is you need to hear me say so we can get through this.

Ridge: What I need to hear is the truth from you.

Brooke: I love you and I don’t want to lose you and that is the truth.

Ridge: That’s not all of it. Why can’t you take some responsibility and just say it. Say it to me.

Brooke: Say what?

Ridge: Instead, I didn’t say anything. I just ran. And everything changed forever.

Brooke: Well, I wouldn’t say everything. We’re here together, now. Do me a favor. Don’t tell taylor about this. I mean it. Don’T.

Ridge: Okay. Don’t tell her about what? You coming down here in this little number? Is that what you mean?

Brooke: Yeah. That. Ah, I don’t understand why you can’t stay here, you know? Just seems silly–

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: With all this love that we have between us.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: But maybe that just means we’re maturing. Relating on a different level.

Ridge: Yeah, maybe.

Brooke: Yeah. So… are you gonna spend the night at eric’s?

Ridge: I– I guess.

Brooke: It’s probably the best thing to do.

Ridge: Huh?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Oh, so this is good night now?

Brooke: Yep. Good night, ridge.

Ridge: Good night, logan.

Brooke: Ugh. Whenever you call me logan, oh, it just kills me.

Ridge: Can I, um…

Brooke: What?

Ridge: Can I have my jacket back? See you.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Mm.

Hope: Mom.

[ Brooke gasping ]

Hope: What are you doing? And what are you wearing? Put that on. You’re supposed to be friends with taylor. How could you? Why give your family just any eggs

[ Door slamming ]

Ridge: I remember those days. My head buried in the design for hours and hours.

Thomas: I got all these wild ideas going on in my head. I got to get them on paper as quickly as possible.

Ridge: Yeah. May I? Do you mind?

Thomas: No. Come on. Ah. It’s– it’s coming together. It’s not finished yet though.

Ridge: It’s confident. There’s boldness in your vision. It’s coming out in your hand for sure.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s like, um– it’s like I’m not even thinking about it. Everything’s just flowing right through me onto the page.

Ridge: That’s when you know that you got something.

Thomas: Yeah?

Ridge: Yeah.

Thomas: Oh.

Ridge: Okay. No, no, no, it’s all right. I just– look, it’s my opinion if you think you can draw the eye a little further down, that’s always a good idea, but that’s up to you. It’s– uh, it’s yours. It’s good. You’re good. In the right path. Shows in your work.

Thomas: I really appreciate that. I can’t tell you how much your support means to me. I didn’t know how you were gonna react finding out that steffy just brought me back on.

Ridge: I didn’t know either. I’m glad you’re here. I love you. Keep your head on straight. You can do anything.

Thomas: Hopefully, what i can do is make hope with the future’s next– next line a massive success.

Ridge: And what about outside of work? How’s that going?

Thomas: Um. Do you mind if I ask you the same question first? I was over at steffy’s and, um, mom was there. She– she told us you had dinner with brooke. How’d that go?

Brooke: You knew ridge was gonna be here. You, liam and the kids, you were invited to dinner, but you had other plans.

Hope: It looks like you did too.

Brooke: What are you talking about?

Hope: Oh, please. Mom, I was right there. I saw it. I mean the candles, the flirting, the giggling. I mean, you wearing that. I mean, really, mom? When is it going to stop?

Brooke: Ridge and I were just talking.

Hope: Oh, please, you expect me to buy that? I mean, I have eyes, mom, and I’ve seen this play out time and time again because this– this is what you do. You just jump from man to man. And the more inappropriate, the better.

Brooke: Stop it. That is not fair.

Hope: You know what is not fair? Having to put up with it for as long as I can remember. Oh, gosh. Mom, this is– this is just what you do. But I– I have not made your mistakes. No. I have a good husband and a beautiful family, and I have a great marriage. Nothing like you, mom. I’m not.

[Tap tap]

Ridge: You’re concerned that brooke broke her promise to your mom. Well, she did not.

Thomas: Good. I mean, their bond is pretty awesome.

Ridge: Man, I’m aware of that.

Thomas: But they– they’ve really been there for each other, you know? And I think that mom, weird to say, but I think that she actually got brooke to see that I’ve changed. You know, I think that their relationship really is a good thing.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. And you don’t want me to mess it up.

Thomas: I’m not– I’m not the person who can go around telling people what to do. I’m just– I’m just asking–

Ridge: Asking what my intentions are. I get it. Well, son, I don’t know what the future holds.

Thomas: Me either. Think I’m kind of in that same place. I’m not thinking about the future. I’m in the present and you know, making sure I’m not turning into the person that I was in the past. I manipulated people. I hurt people and I’m never gonna do that again.

Ridge: Glad to hear it.

Thomas: Believe it.

Ridge: I do believe it. I believe in you. I’m proud of you. But it’s okay to look ahead. There are possibilities.

Thomas: Here at work?

Ridge: Here at work and life. Are you dating anybody or?

Thomas: Uh, um, no, I don’t really have time. I’ve been focused on this.

Ridge: Yeah. Okay. All right. You interested in somebody?

Thomas: Ah, I get it. No. Hope and I, we are– we’re just working together on the line. We’re co-parenting douglas and I– I just want to make sure that I earn back her trust and I’m not gonna do anything to derail that.

Hope: I come up here wanting to talk to you for a minute and what do I find? I find you and ridge together with you dressed like that. It’s like you can’t even control your impulses with them. I mean not with him, not with my dad, not with anyone.

Brooke: Hope, you need to calm down. What is going on with you? I’ve never seen you like this. Nothing happened between ridge and me, but obviously something is going on with you.

Hope: I saw you, mom.

Brooke: Oh, my god. Your reasoning is not making sense.

Hope: And thank goodness I’m nothing like you.

Brooke: Oh. Okay. I know you’re not saying that to hurt me, so what is it? Are you having issues with liam?

Hope: What?

Brooke: Honey, I know that your marriage has been under stress lately because you’re working so closely with thomas. And now, you’re talking about how you’re never gonna be like me. So, what does that mean? Are you having feelings for another man? Is it thomas?

Hope: This isn’t about me. This is about you. And liam and I, we’re fine. We work through our issues. I mean, we just had a beautiful evening together.

Brooke: That’s good, but I know how marriages can be, how things come up. Challenges and feelings and you have to deal with them. And yes, some of the things that you were saying about me are true. Yes, I’ve made mistakes with men in the past, but not this time. I want to just set the record straight, okay? I went upstairs to go to bed and ridge said he would finish his glass of wine and then let himself out. And then, when it came back downstairs, he was still here. I just needed to blow out the candles, but nothing happened. I wasn’t making a play at ridge.

Hope: You weren’t?

Brooke: No. I just was going upstairs to go to sleep, alone.

[ Brooke sighing ] Oh, gosh, honey. What is it? Please. You can talk to me. I know that you’ve been having problems with liam, problems in your marriage, but please don’t let that affect anything. I know you love liam. He’s your husband and you’ve got two great kids, beth and douglas and they bring you so much joy. And that’s what I want for you. Don’t give up on this. Don’t lose liam.

Liam: Hey. Hi. Everything okay? I just– you left the cabin kind of suddenly and I started to get a little wor– oh. Oh, hi. What’s going on?

Hope: No– nothing. We were just, um, talking with my mom about how lucky I am to have you and how much I love our life together and how I won’t ever let anything, or anyone come in between that.

Liam: Okay. I’ve been telling everyone.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: We do make a really great team. I know we do. What is going on with me?

Brooke: Oh, hi, honey. Wow, you got here early. Oh, okay, so I set the table and ridge is on his way over.

Hope: Well actually, I’m– I’m so sorry to be doing this to you, mom, but we won’t be joining you for dinner tonight. I just– I need to spend some alone time with liam and the kids, they– they’re um, spending the night at their friends, so.

Brooke: Is everything all right? Something with you and thomas.

Hope: What? No, there’s– there’s no me and thomas.

>>Brooke: No, I– I just meant–

Hope: Mom, it’s– it’s fine. Everything’s fine, so. I hope you enjoy your night with ridge.

Thomas: We didn’t want you spending the whole night by yourself.

Steffy: Well, thank you for stopping by and helping me get the kids to sleep, especially while finn is working.

Thomas: Does he live here by the way? ‘Cause I never see him. He’s always at the hospital.

Steffy: What can I say? That’s life being married to a devoted doctor.

Thomas: He is devoted, all right.

Taylor: You know, I have a question. How do you really feel about finn saving sheila’s life?

Liam: Hi. Uh, what– what’s– what’s this?

Hope: I just, I– I wanted to do something special and romantic for my husband since we, um, got into our little disagreement at work.

Liam: Um, yeah. Uh, where– where are the– the– the kids?

Hope: Oh. Uh, douglas and beth are at a sleepover. I just wanted some time for us alone tonight so we could reconnect because I– I am really grateful for you and how patient you’ve been. I know it hasn’t been easy, me working with thomas.

Taylor: You know, I can’t imagine how overwhelming that must have been for finn, you know, trying to process all those emotions while making a pivotal decision.

Thomas: Trying to keep sheila alive.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Well, finn had to fulfill his duty as a doctor and honestly, I don’t think he would’ve been able to live with himself if he hadn’t intervened.

Thomas: Well, um, so far as I know, it seems that sheila is stable and incarcerated.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s what I heard too.

Steffy: Sheila carter is finally behind bars.

Taylor: Thanks to the dynamic duo of your dad and bill.

Steffy: Well, it makes sense why dad’s been M.I.A. For so long.

Thomas: Yeah, that actually, uh, brings up a little question. Why– why are you here? Shouldn’t you be hanging out with dad?

Taylor: No, what? Come on. As– as a matter of fact, your dad is having dinner with brooke.

Ridge: I brought you this bottle of french water you like so much.

Brooke: Oh, la, la. My favorite.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Thank you for coming, ridge.

Ridge: Of course. Where’s everybody? I thought it was gonna be hope, liam, the kids.

Brooke: Oh, yes, well, it was supposed to be everybody, but then hope canceled on me in the last minute and decided she’d rather spend some time with her husband.

Ridge: Okay, so it’s just the two of us.

Brooke: Yeah, it is. As much as I wanted to have a family dinner, I’m happy to have you all to myself.

Liam: I mean, you– I don’t know, you looked right into my eyes and– and you told me you weren’t gonna be working with thomas anymore.

Hope: Because that– that was the plan. I didn’t want to work with him, liam. Then, I was presented with some hard truths and I changed my mind and I’m allowed to do that.

Liam: You are. No, of course you are. Um and I’m– I know that you’re under a lot of pressure. It’s just walking in on what I walked in on wasn’t helping.

Hope: I fell and thomas tried to break that fall and– liam, you have been nothing but supportive and respectful of my career. I mean, I– I know you– you’re one of my biggest advocates for hope for the future.

Liam: Of course, I am. I’m– I’m so proud, I am so deeply proud of everything that you’ve accomplished. And I mean, god, if I, you know, if– if I haven’t made that clear, then maybe that’s on me.

>>Hope: No, liam, liam. I feel your support. Even in our disagreements, like today. I can feel how much you love me and I appreciate it so much. And so, tonight, all I wanna do is spend every minute of the rest of the evening showing you exactly how much I love and appreciate you.

Thomas: So, dad’s with brooke tonight?

Steffy: At her place. Just the two of them?

Thomas: Like a date.

Taylor: I don’t think so. No, I mean, it’s– it’s um– it’s hope and liam and the kiddos too, so…

Thomas: Oh, so just with his other family?

Steffy: Wait, you and brooke agreed to swear off dad.

Taylor: Yes, that is the plan. But, you know, your dad just got back and brooke just, you know, she wanted to have dinner with– with her family, you know?

Thomas: Sure, and that makes sense. I mean, I’m sure everyone’s gonna be okay so long as brooke doesn’t cook.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: Look, we’re not suggesting that you need to be concerned or anything.

[ Taylor groaning ]

Taylor: Listen, brooke and I made a promise to each other. You know, we– we’re putting our friendship over feelings.

Steffy: Including dad?

Taylor: Especially him, yes.

Thomas: So, he’s just hanging out over at his old house where he used to live with his ex-wife for years.

Taylor: Ah-ha, yep. Yep, that’s where he is.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: And hope and liam and beth and douglas are there. Come on, it’s– it’s not a cozy dinner for two.

Ridge: This is good, good. Does it have shallots in it?

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: You’ll have to ask the chef at il giardino. I ordered from deacon.

Ridge: Deacon?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Well, he deserves a big tip. He helped us with sheila.

Brooke: You know who deserves a big tip? You do because you were determined to get sheila out of our lives and that’s exactly what you did. So, cheers, to you.

Ridge: Cheers.

Brooke: Mm. We wouldn’t be able to sit here and have this very peaceful dinner with sheila out there running around and that’s thanks to you and bill and deacon.

Ridge: It was a rough couple of months, but it was worth it.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s been crazy.

Ridge: So, what else? What did I miss? How’s liam with thomas and hope working together?

Brooke: It’s been a bit of a strain on their marriage.

Ridge: I’m sorry to hear that. For what it’s worth, I think thomas has changed.

Brooke: I don’t disagree.

Ridge: You don’t what?

Brooke: I don’t–

Ridge: You don’t disagree. Where’s that coming from?

Brooke: Okay. I am being, I’m being–

Ridge: Cautiously.

Brooke: Cautiously optimistic.

Ridge: Same.

Brooke: Yeah. I just wish thomas never came between us.

Ridge: Yeah. He owns what he did and so do I. I wish I would’ve talked to you, but I didn’t and that’s why we are where we are.

Brooke: Yeah. For bathroom odors that linger.

Liam: I hate when we argue.

Hope: Oh, we rarely do.

Liam: Yeah, but I really, really, really hate when we argue about thomas.

Hope: I know. I don’t even want to think about him tonight.

Liam: Okay.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Hope: Um, I’m just– I’m gonna silence it.

Liam: Thank you. Just two of us, kind of nice. Maybe– maybe we can use more nights like this.

Hope: We do. We can use more.

Brooke: Aren’t you glad I didn’t cook?

Ridge: Why– why would you say that? Your cooking is always interesting.

Brooke: Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, that was my welcome home gift to you.

Ridge: That was your gift to me? Not cooking was your gift?

Brooke: Well, we all know that cooking is not my talent but you, on the other hand…

Ridge: I can whip up a steak or two.

>Brooke: Mm-hmm. Always very tender.

Ridge: The steak, you mean?

Brooke: Oh, do you remember? Oh, my gosh.

Ridge: Remember what?

Brooke: When rj was little and he made us that breakfast in bed. Remember? For our anniversary?

Ridge: Oh, when he almost walked in on us?

Brooke: Yeah. Oh, my god, I’m so glad that never happened. But he was so cute carrying that tray, which was as big as he was.

Ridge: Oh, he was– he was very sweet. And the oatmeal was good. He didn’t get the cooking skill from you. He’s– it was all great until, after…

Brooke: Oh, god, yeah, it was after.

Ridge: Yeah, because he wanted to clean up.

Brooke: That was so sweet.

Ridge: It’s very sweet. It’s very sweet. It’s not sweet to put dishwashing liquid in the dishwasher.

Brooke: I know.

Ridge: Suds everywhere, remember that?

Brooke: Oh, that was a disaster.

Ridge: It was up our knees.

Brooke: It was everywhere.

Ridge: We had a suds fight, the three of us.

Brooke: We were slipping and falling and I almost fell out of my top.

Ridge: What? Oh yeah, I do remember.

Brooke: Oh, I remember. Oh, my gosh. We were laughing and laughing. Oh, it’s– it’s funny. It’s nice, you know, to go down memory lane with you. Just kind of warms my heart.

Ridge: And mine too. It’s nice to laugh.

Brooke: It is. I haven’t done that in a while. I’ve missed you.

Ridge: I’ve missed you.

Brooke: Well, at least no matter what happens in the future, we always have our memories, right? Our incredible memories.

Ridge: It’s getting late.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah it is.

Ridge: Um, if it’s okay with you, I’ll just finish my wine and you can– you can go to bed.

Brooke: Okay, yeah. Are you sure?

Ridge: Yeah, I’ll lock up.

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: I had a nice time.

Brooke: Me too. I did too. Oh. Well.

Ridge: Well.

Brooke: Good night.

Ridge: Good night. I brought in ensure max protein,

[ Both panting ]

Thomas: What is it?

Liam: What’s wrong?

Hope: Nothing, I’m fine.

Liam: Okay, okay.

Thomas: Has brooke ever been able to resist dad before?

Taylor: No.

Thomas: I mean, her feelings for him are pretty intense.

Steffy: Mom, I’m sure brooke values your friendship as much as you do. I’m just hoping that she holds up her end of the agreement.

Taylor: We will see. You know, brooke is a grown woman and so am I, and we made a promise to each other. Honesty and integrity when it comes to your dad. We’re gonna stick to it. Simple.

Brooke: Oh. Oh, god, ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: You’re still here. What, what are you doing?

Ridge: Uh, I told you I was gonna finish my wine. What are you doing? I thought you were going to sleep.

Brooke: I was, I just was gonna wash my face and crawl in bed and I realized I didn’t blow out the candles.

Ridge: I told you I was gonna take care of that. I was gonna lock up before I left.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah. I must’ve dozed off. What, um, you sleep in that?

Brooke: Ah, yes, why?

Ridge: Lucky sheets.

Brooke: The same sheets you used to sleep on.

Ridge: I remember.

Brooke: Mm. It wasn’t that long ago.

Ridge: No, some things, they just pop back in your head, especially seeing… seeing that?

Brooke: Yeah, well, some things are hard to forget, huh?

Ridge: Some things are worth remembering.

Brooke: How’s that wine?

Ridge: It’s good and expensive, just how I like it.

Brooke: You’re savoring every sip.

Ridge: Or maybe I just don’t wanna leave.

Brooke: Yeah, I know the feeling. I was upstairs thinking about how nice it is that you’re here. You and me under the same roof, the way it used to be. I miss it.

Ridge: I miss you.

Brooke: You know… taylor and I, we made a pact and I would like to honor it. So, you and I, we can’T.

Ridge: Yeah, I know.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Excuse me. Okay, good night.

Brooke: Oh, oops.

[ Dramatic music ]

Liam: Okay, first, get–

Thomas: Okay.

Liam: Okay, first, get– get your hands off my wife. What the hell?

Steffy: I am so proud of you. Truly.

Taylor: You know, we all are.

Ridge: Yeah?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: So, you’re not upset that I stayed away so long?

Steffy: So you and bill could send sheila to prison for the rest of her life? No, I– I forgive your absence.

Taylo okay, well, I have to say that I am– I’m not a huge fan of the entire strategy.

Ridge: Okay, and– and I hated that we couldn’t tell you what was going on, but it was too big a risk. I hope you get that. And I’m so sorry for all the heartache that we put you through.

Taylor: Thank you for the apology, but this is definitely an “end justifies the means” situation.

Steffy: Assuming they do. I mean, sheila isn’t exactly behind bars just yet.

Ridge: If she makes it to a hospital, that’s exactly where she’s gonna be. She confessed. It’s all recorded.

Taylor: Ah! Job well done. All of you. But I don’t want to talk about sheila anymore, okay?

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Or ever again.

Ridge: Yeah, no, I think you’re right. Let’s– let’s talk about something else. I had a conversation with thomas and I was impressed.

Taylor: Did you clear the air?

Ridge: I think that’s gonna take a minute, but he seemed honest and sincere and um… I’m glad he’s working at forrester again. Although, I have to say, I’m a little surprised that he’s working at hope for the future, knowing how liam feels about the two of them working together.

Liam: Are you okay?

Hope: Yes. Liam, this isn’t–

Liam: This is exactly what I was afraid of. I swear to god.

Thomas: Hey, you got it all wrong.

Liam: No, you’ve got it all wrong if you think you could touch my wife!

Hope: Liam, what are you doing?

Liam: If you ever, ever do that again, you sick son of a bitch, I swear to god.

Thomas: You have to calm down, all right? This is not what you think.

Liam: What I think is what I saw. Leave, now.

Thomas: My name is on the building.

Liam: I don’t care! Get the hell out!

[ Liam panting ] I can’t– I can’t– I can’t do this anymore. I– I’ve been so supportive, I’ve been taking care of you and the kids, I don’t deserve to come in here and see you on the couch with your hands on each other. How much more am I expected to take, hope? (Wheezing)

Ridge: Things are going well so far with thomas and hope.

Steffy: So far. They do make quite the good team.

Taylor: Yeah, and she knows it. Otherwise, she never would’ve let him back on her line.

Steffy: Because hope sees what we do, that thomas is making improvements. He’s taking steps. Positive steps to better himself.

Taylor: Oh, howdy.

Thomas: Mom, hi. Didn’t know you’d be here.

Taylor: Yeah, well, some of my favorite people hang out here. What is it?

Ridge: Something wrong?

Thomas: Um, I’m not sure.

Steffy: What does that mean?

Thomas: Uh, hope was modelling one of my latest designs. She was up on the riser and um, I was making adjustments.

Steffy: Thomas, what did you do?

Thomas: Nothing. I– I– I– I caught her. She fell off the riser and I broke her fall.

Taylor: Okay, that– that doesn’t sound like such a bad thing.

Thomas: Right, it doesn’T. It’s not a bad thing other than she– when she fell, she fell into me and uh, we fell into the couch, and then liam walked in to the door.

Steffy: Oh.

Thomas: He was angry. He was blinded by his hatred for me and started yelling and then told me I need to leave and uh, so instead of escalating the situation, I left. The old me would not have done that.

Ridge: And he didn’t let you explain at all?

Thomas: No, but I can’t exactly fault him for that. I mean, look, what I’ve done in the past with his wife, him looking out for her, of course he reacted that way.

Steffy: So, you– you promise that this is completely innocent, right?

Thomas: I promise.

Taylor: And liam probably thinks you orchestrated the whole thing, right?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah, probably. Hope is over there. She’s talking to him right now. Hopefully, she can help him see the truth in the situation. I just hope this doesn’t cause issues in their marriage.

Hope: Liam, please let me explain.

Liam: What did– what– what is there to explain? I called this. I totally called this.

Hope: What you walked in on is not at all what you think it is.

Liam: Really? ‘Cause what I think I walked in on was you two on the couch with his hands all over you.

Hope: Because I fell. We were in a fitting and I was up on that riser and I lost my balance and I started to fall, thomas tried to catch me and we both fell. So that– that is what you walked in on. But really, honestly, the most hurtful part about that reaction was the fact that you think I would willingly put myself in that position.

Liam: Do you really not understand how that looked?

Hope: You wanna know what it looks like? It looks like I have a husband who does not trust me. I mean me, after all of these years, and– and one that is so ready to jump to the– to the craziest, most incorrect conclusion because you’ve decided that thomas is not capable of change. I mean, you were just so chomping at the bit for him to mess up. But really, what takes the cake is that you think that I, little me, don’t know how to handle myself around him. I mean, liam, you talk about being supportive and what you’ve had to endure? Well, what about me? What about everything that I have had to endure? The trust that I have had to put into you? After everything you’ve done in the past? Let’s talk about that?

Liam: I don’t know what to say here. How many times have I told you that it’s not you I don’t trust. It’s never been you. Okay, let’s say this time is innocent. What about the next time? Or the time after that? Or the time after that because hope, it’s a-coming. It’s coming, unless you hold up a hand and you say enough is enough. The man is toxic and he has to go.

Hope: Okay, all right. So, I’m just supposed to, you know, lose my line because my husband–

Liam: Because I don’t trust him and neither should you! Why on earth would you trust him at this point? He knew beth was alive! He watched us grieve and he said nothing! Because that is how far he is willing to go to have you and he’s proven it. The man is and always has been demented!

Hope: He’s not that man. And you are acting as if my word carries no weight. I have told thomas that if I see him start to backslide into that version of himself, he is gone. And I mean it. But liam, guess what? I don’t think it’s gonna happen. I don’t because I believe he has changed and the time that we spend together is strictly professional, that is it. The real thing… is why… why don’t you believe me?

Liam: Because you keep finding new reasons to invite him into your life. Why do you do that? Why do you do that? Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Steffy: If liam’s freaking out, it could change hope’s mind about working with you.

Thomas: Yeah, and I’m sure he’s trying to convince her to take me off the line right now. And hopefully, she can– she can speak that truth into him and he can see the situation for what it is.

Taylor: You know what? At this point, it sounds like more of a hope and liam situation and you can’t control that. You just need to remember that– that we believe in you and we know the changes that you’ve made and we have your back, always.

Ridge: We’ve got your back because I think you’re on the right path for the first time in a long time. So don’t let liam or hope or anyone throw you off it. You can do this.

Thomas: That means the world to me. I mean, I– I made a lot of mistakes, but… without your faith in me, all of you, I never would have moved past that. You know, I– I made a lot of horrible mistakes and I turned into a wretched person, but I had to be able to put that out on the table. I had to put my obsession with hope, my lies, my manipulations, everything that I used to participate in, that– that ate at me from the inside and I let it all out and it was really hard to do that, but I finally put that down and I realized that that doesn’t define me. It’s not who I am and that’s thanks to your love. You’ve shown me that I don’t always be that. I can be something so much better and I love you all for it, and none more than you, mom, because you… you’re the glue that holds this family together, you know? You make us a team.

Ridge: Team taylor? Is it too soon or?

Thomas: No. Team taylor. And I’ll say it again because you won’t say it about yourself. Team taylor.

Taylor: I love you.

Thomas: I love you too.

Hope: Do you even need to ask that? Why I was put in this position where I need the one designer who’s proven that he can make hope for the future a huge success?

Liam: I know what hope for the future means to you. I know the blood and sweat and tears that you’ve put into it. It’s your baby. It’s your legacy, but that’s the thing. It’s your legacy, not thomas’. Yours.

Hope: I had no other choice. I mean, you know what I was facing, steffy pulling my line.

Liam: What you were facing was an obstacle. Steffy is smart enough to know this. She’s smart enough to know that there are other designers out there, but thomas happens to be her brother and she’s loyal to him. You don’t need him. You don’T.

Hope: Yes, I do. Because we are hope for the future now.

Liam: Oh, my god. Don’t– don’t say that. Don’t say we. Do you hear– do you know what that implies?

Hope: A working relationship, liam. That is it. It’s not personal. It’s just business.

Liam: Can we just go home?

Hope: Home? Liam, it’s the middle of the day and I– I still have work to do.

Liam: With him?

Hope: With thomas, yes.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Liam. Liam.

Liam: It’s okay.

Hope: Liam.

[ Elevator dinging ]

Taylor: So team taylor, huh?

Thomas: That’s right. Better and stronger than ever.

Ridge: Well.

Steffy: Couldn’t agree more, especially now that sheila is out of our lives for good.

Ridge: Ding, dong, the witch is dead. And you know what? I’m thrilled about that, but I’m thrilled about something else. I look into your eyes and I see something that I haven’t seen before, and I’m not sure what it is, but it seems to me that the little boy is gone and there’s maturity. Do you see it? Look.

Thomas: I– I– you know what? I think you’re right. Because I– I feel a change. I am a different person and uh, I appreciate you all seeing it too.

Steffy: Happens to the best of us.

Thomas: And I’m gonna make you all proud. I promise that. And hope too.

Taylor: Okay, well, I don’t know about hope, but you’ve already made me proud.

Ridge: Here, here.

Taylor: Yes.

Thomas: Should we– yes, let’s do it.

Taylor: Bring it in.

Thomas: All right. Okay. Awkward family hug done. I am gonna–

Ridge: Where are you going?

Thomas: Well, I’m still a designer for this company, last time I checked, and so until hope tells me otherwise, I got some designing to do.

Brooke: Most of my life,

I felt like I’ve needed a man,

and usually, it’s been the

wrong man.

Liam: Get your hands

off my wife.

I don’t trust him and neither

should you! Why on earth

would you trust him

at this point?

He knew beth was alive!

He watched us grieve

and he said nothing

because that is how far

he is willing to go to have you

and he’s proven it.

The man is and always has

been demented!

Don’t say we. Do you hear–

do you know what that implies?

Hope: A working

relationship, liam

and that is it.

It’s not personal,

it’s just business.

Brooke: I’m just happy

you haven’t been drawn

to the bad boy like I have.

You, my sweet, precious

daughter, you don’t like

the bad boys.

Thomas: Hope.

[ Hope sighing ] You okay?

Hope: Um, yeah, yeah. I’m fine. What’s up?

Thomas: Okay, well, um, I– I’ve got some news. The reviews are in.

Hope: For hope for the future?

Thomas: They’re good. They’re really good.

Hope: Seriously?

Thomas: Yeah. All right. “The forrester dream team has done it again. Thomas forrester and hope logan fit and compliment each other perfectly.” That’s just one of many. I mean, every last review is positive.

Hope: Thomas, you have no idea how much I needed to hear that.

Thomas: It’s all because of you.

Hope: Aw, you too. Thank you for all of your hard work, everything you’ve done for the line.

Thomas: Well, couldn’t have done it without you. I mean, you gave me another chance. You allowed me to– to come back and work here again. Now, I have this overwhelming sense of gratitude and enthusiasm and I owe that all to you.

Hope: Thank you. I mean, it’s all right there in the review. We do make a really great team, and in spite of what liam or anyone else says, we can do this. We got this. I know we do.

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: After all these years, after everything sheila’s done, it’s so good to know that she’s finally in prison for good this time. She’s not gonna terrorize any of us ever again.

Hope: No, it’s fantastic. I mean, when bill told liam, wyatt and me last night, we couldn’t believe it. I mean, the sacrifices that he and ridge made, for all of us. I mean, to pull a big sting like that off?

Brooke: We all knew bill was acting very strange, but we didn’t know the reason behind it.

Hope: No. The stakes were huge. By the way, how is, uh, taylor taking all of this? I mean, I ask because it’s great how close you two are now.

Brooke: She’s good. Yeah, it is great. It’s amazing, really.

Hope: Do you think that could change now that ridge is back?

Thomas: I heard you were in the building. It’s good to see you back.

Ridge: Good to be back.

Thomas: You know, before we get into anything, I just want to say that what you did, partnering with bill and taking down sheila, protecting our family, reminds me of just how great it is to be your son.

Ridge: And you’re back.

Liam: Sleeping in?

Wyatt: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Dad? Our dad? Dollar bill dad?

Wyatt: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Apparently, even superheroes need extra shut eye from time to time.

[Chuckling]

Liam: Hey, on the bright side, he doesn’t have to share his bed with sheila anymore.

Wyatt: Yeah, can you imagine the pillow talk they must have had? Not to mention the things he may have had to do.

Liam: No, no, no, no, no. Not to mention. We’re not mentioning. That’s the whole– what are you doing right now?

Wyatt: Wow, why’d I even say that?

Liam: I know. The whole beauty of this is we don’t have to talk about her, think about her.

Wyatt: It’s true.

Liam: Worry about her ever again.

Wyatt: Now, you can just focus all of your attention on thomas.

Wyatt: Look, I know you’re not thrilled about thomas working with hope again, and I don’t blame you. Especially considering his history with her.

Liam: Yeah, but I also know how much hope for the future means to her, and that in order for it to survive and thrive–

Wyatt: Hope needs thomas. Sorry. Correction. The– the line apparently needs thomas.

Liam: I don’t know, man. Maybe– maybe it’s– maybe it’s all me. Maybe it’s just like in my head and– and thomas really has changed and–

Wyatt: You don’t believe that anymore than I do.

Liam: No, I absolutely don’T. But everybody else sure seems convinced, don’t they? I mean, especially hope. She’s like– she’s talking about how much the therapy must be working and how she can see the changes in him in real time. It’s like, really?

Wyatt: But you think she’s only seeing what she wants to see and not what’s actually going on.

Liam: Yes. You know what I am curious about though?

Wyatt: Mm?

Liam: Is ridge. Right? ‘Cause– ’cause, when he left town, he and thomas were… they were not on good terms, and now that he’s back, like I kind of wonder, well, I don’t know? Would he potentially reverse steffy’s decision to bring thomas back to forrester?

Thomas: It was steffy’s decision, allowing me to return and I know that you were busy taking down sheila, but I’m sure that you know what was going on with hope’s line.

Ridge: Your design skills are not what got you thrown out.

Thomas: But the part of me that did get me thrown out? He’s gone for good.

Hope: Will it impact your friendship? Ridge being back?

Brooke: Actually, she and i spoke to ridge last night.

Hope: And?

Brooke: Well, we know he’s gonna be spending time with both of our families, we made it very clear to him that we’re gonna choose ourselves first and put our newfound friendship first too.

Hope: I love that. I love that and I totally respect that decision, 100%.

Brooke: Aw, thanks, honey. That makes me feel good.

Hope: Yeah, it’s great, mom. I’m happy you’re choosing yourself.

Brooke: I mean, let’s be real. Most of my life, I felt like I’ve needed a man, and usually it’s been the wrong man. And I am not saying that your father is the wrong man. It’s just that my relationship with deacon did cause a lot of problems in my life. I’m just happy you haven’t been drawn to the bad boy like I have. I’m so proud of you, sweetheart.

I have type 2 diabetes,

Liam: I have tried to take the high road with thomas, so many times. I tried to be a supportive husband. I mean, I don’t– I don’t like putting hope in the middle. I really don’T.

Wyatt: You’re just worried about him spending all day, every day at the office.

Liam: Yeah. Which means them spending hours and hours and hours together. Sometimes, well into the evenings, you know?

Wyatt: Right. But does hope really know how you feel about that?

Liam: I mean, at this point, how could she not? It’s just, she’s so hyper focused right now on making hope for the future viable again, that she, you know, that means her putting in those hours.

Wyatt: Right. And thomas is more than happy to put in those hours with her as well. Yeah. Dude, I– I feel for you. This sucks.

Liam: Can I ask you something? Like objectively?

Wyatt: Sure.

Liam: Do you think that I’m being too controlling? Or– or– or overbearing? Or unreasonable here?

Wyatt: No, quite the opposite, actually. I– I think you’re being a loving, concerned husband, and you’re just protecting your wife from somebody you don’t trust.

Liam: To be clear, I totally trust hope.

Wyatt: Oh, yeah.

Liam: It’s not her. It’s thomas that I think is incapable of real change.

Thomas: I get why you’d be skeptical. I have made so many mistakes in the past and– and I’ve hurt people, and then I hurt people and I apologize, and I say it’s gonna get better and then I get a little bit better, but then I screw up again and then I hurt you again or hurt someone else, and then I apologize again. And all along, what’s kind of amazing, is that you have been there for me. You’ve given me forgiveness over and over again. Most recently, I, like an idiot, called cps on myself. That was my most recent mistake. And I could say that I know exactly why I did it. Actually, I kinda do. It’s– I wasn’t thinking. I got mad because brooke said something that– that threatened my relationship with my son. And so, I just acted out, immediately, without thinking anything through. And obviously, I want you and mom to be together too. Steffy and i have always wanted that. I don’t– I don’t want to sit here and just focus on the past, and keep bringing up all those things. I want to move forward into the future. I want to build a better future. One where you can be actually proud of your son. And I want to make sure that I never, ever let you down again. And more than that, I don’t ever want to let down my son, or my mom, or my sister.

Ridge: Or hope.

Brooke: I know you’ve worked hard to take the best qualities of me and leave the not so good qualities behind. Honey, I look at you and the life that you lead, and I am so amazed. Your principles, your morals. I just admire you so, so much. Really. I do. And also your relationship with liam and how committed you are and how loyal. I mean, sometimes I wonder how you’re even my daughter. Stephanie called me “slut from the valley” for a reason. I worked my way through the forrester men, and then there was deacon and bill, and the list goes on and on.

Hope: Okay, mom, stop, please. Why are we even talking about this? I hate it when you beat yourself up like this.

Brooke: No, no, I’m not. Just there’s no denying that I’ve always desired the wrong man. Honey, I’m just glad you’re not like me that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Thomas: I realize the success of hope for the future depends on hope trusting me and respecting me again. And I think we’re actually getting there. I mean, she is the face of the line and she’s brought me back. I am the designer again.

Ridge: And that means you’re gonna spend more time together.

Thomas: Yes. For the purpose of the success of the line. I don’t have those feelings that I used to for her, dad. I promise, I don’T. I have changed. I’ve become a better person, and I know it because I can feel it.

Ridge: I’m glad to hear that. You lied to me. You disappointed me. You broke my heart, but do you think I want to be estranged from my son? I don’T.

Thomas: I want to make a promise to you and I really believe I can come through on it. I want to prove to everyone I’m a better man. More than that, I want to prove to you that I can be a son that you’re proud of. Because dad, I love you so much.

Wyatt: Look, obviously you’re gonna be keeping an eye on thomas.

Liam: I guess. It’d be a lot easier if I didn’t work halfway across town at spencer.

Wyatt: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Actually, that doesn’t have to stop me.

Wyatt: What, wait, whoa. Where you going?

Liam: I just want to see for myself, if thomas’ obsessive behavior around my wife really is a thing of the past. You’re buying.

Wyatt: Well, what, whoa. How? What? Not my day.

Brooke: Thomas’s latest?

Hope: Yeah. What do you think?

Brooke: Oh, well, it’s beautiful.

Hope: I agree.

Brooke: So, honey, how are things at home?

Hope: Oh, now that douglas is back, you mean?

Brooke: Well, I was thinking more about liam. Is he adjusted to the fact that thomas is working on the line again?

Hope: He’s trying.

Brooke: Okay. So, he’s not so happy about it.

Hope: I mean, I’m hoping it will finally change this time, given that there’s nothing to worry about.

Brooke: Well, I do understand where liam’s coming from. You know, I also have my reservations about thomas, given his history with you. But, if he acts professionally, then–

Hope: He is, mom.

Brooke: Okay.

Hope: I swear.

Brooke: ‘Cause, you know, you can’t cross the line. I’m not talking about you. But thomas, he is a bad boy, and you, my sweet, precious daughter, you don’t like the bad boys, unlike your mother. But of course, if thomas does act inappropriately, liam is right. He has to go.

Hope: Mom, I know, I know this. I just, I guess, I am the eternal optimist because we have been working very, very well together and, in fact, this is the most excited I have been about my line in a very long time. So, I don’t know, from my view, things just seem to be getting better and better.

Thomas: Ready to do this? Brooke! Hey, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Hope: Yeah, we actually, we have a fitting, mom.

Brooke: Oh, okay. Well, then I’ll just get out of your hair.

Thomas: You don’t have to. You can stay and give us some notes, if you want.

Brooke: Ah, I was gonna check in on ridge anyway.

Thomas: Okay. He’s in his office. I was just with him.

Brooke: Okay.

Thomas: You like?

Hope: I love.

[ Both giggling ] I can’t wait to try it on. Hi, I’m jill and I’ve lost 56 pounds on golo. feel to be back in your element?

Ridge: As opposed to being in that hole with the fbi? It feels good. I gotta say, it was worth it. Sheila’s gone forever.

Brooke: And you are truly the hero, ridge forrester.

Ridge: All right. Take it easy. I don’t know about that. Maybe I held the hero’s cape for a moment. Spencer sacrificed a lot, he really did. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that. Let’s talk about something else. I had a conversation with thomas and it seems his collaboration with hope is going well.

Brooke: So far, so good. You must be happy about that.

Ridge: I am happy about that. It’s my son. I want him to succeed. Hope and thomas, their, um, a dynamic team.

Thomas: How’s the fit?

Hope: See for yourself?

Thomas: Huh. Um, well, how does it feel?

Hope: Uh, elegant, gorgeous, sexy.

Thomas: All things I was going for. Though, now that I’m looking at it…

Hope: What?

Thomas: I don’t know. Can you– can you step on the riser for me? Uh, is it okay if I…

Hope: Oh, yeah, sure. If you need to make adjustments.

Thomas: Okay. It’s better, right?

Hope: Yeah, I agree.

Thomas: Perfect.

Hope: If you say so.

Thomas: Oh, that didn’t sound conceited?

Hope: No, no, because it actually is perfect. I mean, everything’s been pretty much perfect. We’ve been so in sync on this latest collection, and I’m just really happy to have you and your vision back on hope for the future.

Thomas: I’m glad you feel that way.

Hope: I just wish everyone else felt that way. Namely, my mother, liam.

Thomas: Ah.

Hope: Yeah. I wish they could understand our working relationship. I have my career to think about. My line, the people that work for me and I guess what I’m trying to say is, those feelings that you might have had for me in the past, I just don’t want those to cause any problems with us working in such close proximity, doing fittings.

Thomas: Hope, that’s the thing is we’re working together. That’s– that’s all.

Hope: I know. I told liam that, but this is what he’s concerned about.

Thomas: Nothing is gonna happen, okay?

Hope: You sure? We’re doing this right now, there’s no thoughts entering your head.

Thomas: Honestly, no, there’s none.

Hope: Okay, well good because my mother had a thing for bad boys and I am telling you, thomas, that I do not. Oh!

Liam: Hey! What the hell is going on here?

Steffy: Wait, so this whole time, you and Bill were working with the FBI?

Ridge: Yeah, and really, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, but we couldn’t risk Sheila finding out.

Steffy: Oh, wow. I mean… it makes sense why you were gone for so long.

Finn: So, so bill, he…he was never in love with sheila.

Ridge: No! It was all part of the plan, and it worked.

Hope: This is unbelievable.

Liam: So, how long had this been going on?

Bill: Well, when I reunited steffy and finn in monaco, and sheila got away, I knew she would keep turning up. Something had to be done. And then she escaped custody.

Wyatt: We all thought she died after that.

Bill: I never bought that absurd bear-mauling story. So I came up with a plan. One that would eliminate sheila from our lives once and for all.

Brooke: Wow. Ridge and bill working together to bring sheila down.

Taylor: It’s crazy, right? It still hasn’t really hit me. You know, when you were, uh… when you were talking to eric and donna, and saying goodbye, I called steffy. Ridge is over there explaining everything. Sheila really did have a heart attack.

Brooke: What?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We all thought she was faking.

Taylor: Well, of course we did, because sheila. But no, she, she had a heart attack, and she survived.

Brooke: God. There’s so much to talk about with all of this. But now that we have a moment alone, there are things that we need to discuss. Ridge is back.

Taylor: So, did you have any idea that ridge was back in L.A.?

Brooke: None. It was odd that he sort of fell out of touch.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, it was. But you know, he, he told us he was gonna go off and do some soul searching, and, for ridge, that could take a while.

Brooke: And we could always reach him if we needed to. Bill and ridge, getting along. An unexpected pairing.

Taylor: Yeah, it is. I’d say more unexpected than us.

Brooke: Speaking of, we really need to talk about ridge being back, and what that means for us, moving forward.

Hope: I’m not sure which is harder to believe, you faking a relationship with sheila all this time, or are you working together with ridge?

Bill: [ Chuckles ] Well, we had a common goal. Protecting our families.

Liam: I can’t even put into words what a relief this is. Like, I hate you for putting us all through this, but at the same time, I’m so happy you didn’t lose your damn mind and fall in love with sheila.

Wyatt: Yeah, and I don’t understand. If she was already in custody, why did you get her out?

Liam: Yeah. Why not just let her rot in prison?

Bill: Because she had to be arrested on a charge she couldn’t beat, or get out early for good behavior. That had to be murder one.

Wyatt: Murder one?

Ridge: So there were two guys who died in a very mysterious way, but they had one thing in common. You know what that is?

Steffy: Sheila.

Ridge: Sheila. Their murders were never solved, but baker was convinced that sheila had something to do with it. So, the only thing we had to do, is get her to confess.

Finn: That’s no easy task.

Ridge: No. But bill did everything in his power to make sure that she would trust him, and she did. And admitted to one of the murders.

Steffy: One of them?

Ridge: Allegedly the other one was an accident.

Finn: You believe her?

Ridge: It doesn’t matter if I believe her or not. The point is we just needed one to put her away.

Steffy: Okay, wait, wait. Everything that, that happened with mom, the blackmail, like, I’m sure the police and the fbi heard about this.

Ridge: Alright, so bill made a deal with him to get her exonerated.

Steffy: Oh my god. That’s amazing. So you, so you’re telling me that we don’t have to look over our shoulder for sheila ever again.

Ridge: No, you’re safe.

Steffy: Because of you.

Ridge: Nahhhh. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Liam: I just can’t believe you actually got sheila to, to admit to first degree murder.

Bill: I wasn’t sure it would happen, but it did, and crystal clear for the audio.

Hope: That is amazing.

Bill: Yeah.

Bill: She had to be stopped. Permanently. I couldn’t let her terrorize our families ever again.

Wyatt: So let me make sure I got this straight here. For months, you and sheila were living together.

Bill: I think you know this part of the story, wyatt. Do you need a pop-up book version?

Wyatt: You had to make sure that she… she thought that she was the only one who understood you, right? That you loved her, that you wanted to marry her. But it didn’t matter what anybody else thought, including your family.

Bill: Check on all the above. If she didn’t buy it, think it was legitimate, she would have run or worse, stabbed me in the back when I was sleeping.

Wyatt: Right. So what are we talking, like, romantic nights? You know, long, like, cuddle sessions here by the fire? Bonding. Like, you know, sharing secrets.

Bill: Wow. You know, it’s almost like you were there with us, wyatt.

Liam: Maybe we could, um, like I’m actually getting physically ill.

Wyatt: So, so like, I mean, when the lights turned out and you guys go to go upstairs.

Liam: What are you doing right now?

Wyatt: Trying to see how far he had to go. And I wanna see you throw up. What?

Bill: I had to go as far as you could imagine, wyatt, and further than that.

Liam: Oh, god.

Bill: She had to completely buy my… my devotion.

Wyatt: You, like, you just put it all… you, you, you took one for the team.

Bill: I did it for everyone, wyatt. Gave it my all.

Wyatt: Oh jeez, why did I… I’m so sorry. I, I retract that question.

Bill: You asked.

Wyatt: I need a drink. I apologize. I walked into that.

Finn: That explains the police officer outside sheila’s hospital door.

Steffy: Yeah. Yet, we assumed it was just security through bill. But I did find it odd that bill wasn’t there. The supposed love of his life has a heart attack, and he’s not by her side? He’s not barking orders at doctors? The two of them, they have been inseparable.

Finn: Well, now this all makes sense.

Ridge: Does it? You do get that bill and sheila were never together, right? How could they be? I’m sorry.

Finn: Oh, no, don’t be. Look, I’m well aware who sheila is and what she’s capable of. I got the scar to prove it. I’m just grateful for you and bill for making sure that she’s locked away and never see daylight again.

Ridge: We can move on with our lives.

Taylor: This whole time that ridge was away, you know, he’s been keeping an eye on sheila, making sure that we’re safe. But bill, he’s the one that’s had to do all the dirty work, you know. Pretending that he was in love with sheila.

Brooke: Oooof. He had to live with her. He had to sleep with her. All to protect his family. It was strange. It wasn’t the bill I knew. When he was with her, he couldn’t even speak. Sheila had to speak for him. It was like he was under a spell. It turned out it was the other way around. He was calling the shots.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, he was. But, you know, I was thinking about that. I wonder… I wonder how it affected him mentally, you know? Just, oh, god, I’d love to get him on my couch. Let me–

Brooke: Ohhhhh.

Taylor: Shrink couch.

Brooke: Okay.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Well, I don’t think he would get on your shrink couch and talk about his “feelings.”

Taylor: No, I’m sure that he wouldn’T. You know. But, you know what? We should do something for them. For bill and ridge, you know? They’re kinda like superheroes. We can throw them a batman and robin theme party.

Brooke: Oh! [ Laughing ] That would be fun, actually. It’d be good. I think that would help, kind of, get them back into life, you know.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: You know… ridge went away to… try to figure out life and what he wants. So I think he’ll have some things to say to us.

Taylor: I know. I– whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. I wanna keep it separate from what you and I have built. Brooke, it’s really important to me, our friendship. It really is. I don’t want to lose it. Good food tastes better with a dollop of daisy

Ridge: Let me, let me just ask you this, your professional opinion. You think this heart attack was real?

Finn: Yeah, she almost died.

Steffy: Would have, if finn hadn’t saved her.

Ridge: You saved her? Really?

Steffy: We didn’t want him to.

Ridge: And lee was there too?

Finn: Yeah, she was the first physician on the scene. Ordinarily, she would have been responsible for sheila’s care, but she, flat out, refused to treat her. She asked me to do the same, just let her die.

Ridge: You thought about it, didn’t you?

Finn: I hesitated. Alright, do I honor the oath I gave as a doctor, or do I let the monster die, who attacked the people that I love? Ultimately, I couldn’t do it because in that moment, sheila was a patient who needed me to save her life, so I had to, no matter how horrible she is.

Ridge: That’s the kind of man you are.

Steffy: That’s the man I love. And I love you dad. Thank you so much for sacrificing everything to keep us safe.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Bill: Hey, chief baker, what’s going on? Really? Okay. Keep me posted.

Liam: What, what now?

Bill: Well, sheila had an actual heart attack. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.

Wyatt: Whoa.

Liam: Something tells me not a lot of tears are gonna be shed for her tonight.

Bill: Who knew she had a heart?

Hope: Well, you certainly do, and you’ve proven that with everything that you gave up to protect us all. I mean, your family’s trust, your standing in the community, and you had to spend all that time with sheila. I mean, I really don’t know if there’s a way for us to thank you for keeping us all safe, especially the children.

Taylor: Okay, so, so there was “tridge,” and there was “bridge.” And now there’s “braylor.” And I am telling you, my friend, that is the end game.

[ Laughing ]

Brooke: Girl power, for sure.

Taylor: Woman power!

Brooke: Yes!

Taylor: We’re gonna stick to our pact, right?

Brooke: Yes. And that’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I think now that ridge is back in town, we’re gonna have to be a little bit more careful and protective of our relationship, because I can’t imagine going forward in my life without you in it.

Taylor: I feel the same way. We’ve developed this, this, this real trust with each other and it’s, it’s beautiful.

Brooke: Yeah. It’s rare.

Taylor: Yeah, especially for two women who have spent their entire adult life fighting over a stupid man.

Brooke: Ughhh.

Taylor: Never again.

Brooke: No, never again. Promise.

Taylor: You know, it’s funny. We both have families with ridge, but you know what else we have with him? Unresolved issues. But that’s with him. Me and you, we’re good.

Brooke: 100%.

Taylor: Friends forever.

Brooke: Friends forever.

[ Laughter ]

Taylor: I love this!

[ Giggling ]

Ridge: So, what’s going on here?

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: Uh.

[ Giggling ]

[]

Hope: I’m actually afraid to believe we can let our guard down.

Bill: Believe it. Sheila’s reign of terror is over.

Wyatt: You must be exhausted.

Bill: You could say that.

Liam: I just, I can’t imagine what it took for you to convince sheila, like, really convince her, that you loved her. I mean, I’m just, I’m so proud of you. I’m humbled by the sacrifice that you made to, to keep all of us safe. I just… suffice it to say, I’ve never loved you more than I do right now. I’m not kidding.

Bill: This is what I miss the most. Seeing the look of love and admiration in the eyes of my boys. My family. Instead of pain and disappointment. I can finally say, after way too long, it’s good to be home.

Liam: Oh, dad! All misty.

Bill: Come here.

Liam: Come on.

Hope: Alright. Aww, guys.

[ Chuckling ]

Steffy: I knew something was off with bill. I knew it! But I never thought he was plotting to send sheila to prison. Gosh!

[ Whispers ] Wow… I feel like I can breathe again.

Finn: Yeah. I’m grateful for that. It’s the threat of sheila, it… it’s finally gone.

Steffy: Yeah. Hey, what’s wrong with you?

Finn: Nothing. It’s just… sheila could have totally been out of our lives if I would’ve listened to my mother.

Steffy: It’s not who you are, finn. You’re a healer. You value human life. You save it. You don’t end it. So don’t second guess your decision, okay? You did the right thing. Like I said, it’s who you are. You’re compassionate and you’re loving. And I’m so, so lucky to be married to a guy like you.

[ Laughter ]

Ridge: So, what did I walk in on?

Taylor: Okay. Well, we will get to that in just a minute. But first, I talked to steffy. Sheila really had a heart attack.

Ridge: I know. I talked to her too. So, yeah, she flatlined and finn brought her back, despite everything.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s because he’s a good man and we’re lucky to have him as a son-in-law.

Ridge: I agree. What?

[ Giggling ]

Brooke: Nothing. No, no. Taylor and I had just been talking about everything that has happened and we’re really impressed that you and bill were able to pull this off.

Taylor: Yeah. And teaming up to do it.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s incredible.

Taylor: It’s crazy.

Brooke: Pretty cool. How you feeling?

Ridge: Oh. Uh, I’m good. I’m–

Taylor: Yeah?

Ridge: Tired.

Taylor: Uh-huh.

Ridge: I was in that bunker 24/7 with jim. Takes it out of you.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: So, I’m ready to, uh, do whatever passes as normal these days. Bunk up with dad for a while.

Brooke: Oh, that’s good.

Taylor: That’s good. Good idea.

Ridge: What is happening here. What’s going on?

Brooke: Just, something happened while you were gone.

Ridge: No way!

Taylor: Oh, ridge! Seriously?! Did you see that?!

Ridge: No, I didn’t?

Taylor: No, no. Brooke and I are, are friends now.

Ridge: Uh huh.

Brooke: Yeah. We’ve grown very close, and nothing is going to change that.

Taylor: No, nothing. I mean, look, we both have families with you.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: But at this stage in our life, we are choosing our friendship over our feelings for you. Mm-hmm.

Ridge: What are you telling me?

Taylor: Brooke has become my best friend.

Brooke: And taylor has become my best friend. Friends first, right?

Taylor: Right.

[ Ambulance siren ]

[ Flatlining ]

Nurse tina: Dr. Finnegan, she’s coding.

Li: Let her die.

Brooke: Ridge, what are you talking about?

Stephen: You have been in la this whole time?

Taylor: Wait a second. You and bill have been working together?

Carter: You hate each other.

Ridge: Yes. And we still hate each other, but we had a common goal. To get rid of sheila. And we did it because of bill.

Carter: Bill and sheila are in a relationship. She’s living with–

Stephen: You– you allowed her to endanger all our families.

Lucy: Sheila should be in jail.

Taylor: Yes, she should, but she’s not because he defended her. Stood up for her.

Brooke: You alienated everybody that cares about you, bill.

Donna: You bribed a judge to keep sheila out of jail, bill.

Eric: Ridge, you expect us to believe that he did all this to protect us?

Katie: You professed your love for her over and over again.

Bill: I’m sorry you had to hear that, katie.

Ridge: But it was an act. None of this was what it seemed. We– we were working with the fbi and with baker.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: Yes, there– there was a sting that bill came up with to put sheila away forever.

Bill: If there’d been another way, any other way… but there wasn’T.

Ridge: And listen, he had to convince sheila that this was real, so he had to convince all of you that it was real. And… I should say, I don’t– I don’t– I don’t wanna say, but I– I’m– I’m gonna have to. This– this man… is a hero.

Nurse tina: Dr. Finnegan, defibrillators down. Hey, doc, another set.

[ Machine beeping ]

Li: Sheila nearly killed you and shot your wife. Left me for dead. Threatened your children.

Nurse tina: I’m back.

[ Li mouthing ]

Nurse tina: Here. Back up.

Finn: Charging 130.

Nurse tina: Charging.

[ Defibrillator buzzing ]

Finn: Clear. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Bill: Look, uh, ridge should call me a hero, but I didn’t feel like one.

Ridge: He did what he had to do to get the job done.

Stephen: As part of some elaborate undercover operation.

Taylor: How– how long has this been going on?

Ridge: Too long. Trust me. You know, steve, you’re right. This– it– it was elaborate and it was dangerous. But can we all agree, all of us, that what we wanted was sheila out of our lives? We can, right? And the only way to do that is to have her admit to murder one.

[ Brooke scoffs ]

Brooke: Who do you think she killed?

Ridge: Her psychiatrist, doctor–

Bill: Gordon.

Ridge: And some young guy who, uh–

Bill: Uh, lance day.

Ridge: Lance day. He threatened her.

Taylor: Okay. This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense because sheila was already in custody. So, if this is some big setup, some big ploy, and bill was never in love with her, then there’d be no reason to let her out. Because steffy and finn’s testimony would’ve put her away for good. And you interfered with that.

Bill: You’re right. I did. Steffy and finn had an open and shut case, and sheila would’ve been put straight back in prison.

Taylor: Yeah.

Bill: Yeah. But not for life. She would’ve gotten, what, 10 years? Maybe more. Maybe less. You see, this wasn’t just about protecting everyone in this room. It was about will, kelly, beth, hayes, douglas. They all had to be protected. It was, uh… hell making you all doubt me and, uh, hate me. But it had to be done. Those kids are too important to me. And I had to protect their futures. Uh… we. We had to protect their futures. And that’s what we did.

Finn: She still in v-fib. Let’s go again. Grab me another preload of epi.

Nurse tina: On it.

Li: What are you doing? This woman tried to orphan your children.

Finn: She’s a patient.

Li: She’s evil. You don’t want this. You know it’s not right. Think of your life without her. Steffy’s life.

Nurse tina: Got the epi.

Finn: Administrating another point ml of epi. Charge it to 200.

Nurse tina: Charging.

Finn: All right, let’s go again. Clear.

[ Machine beeping ]

Nurse tina: A-fib. She’s back.

Li: Finn, why? Why?

[ Machine beeping steadily ]

[ Flatlining ] Type 2 diabetes?

[ Machine flatlining ]

Finn: Clear.

[ Machine beeping steadily ] Regular sinus rhythm. Pulse ox is rising. Notify the cardiac team.

Nurse tina: Yes, doctor.

[ Sheila groaning ]

Sheila: My son… you saved me.

[ Sighing ] Love me…

Taylor: Bill, I… I don’t know what to say.

Bill: I’m sorry, taylor. I’m sorry I had to put you through so much.

Brooke: And you knew that he was doing this?

Ridge: Yeah. And it killed me being in that basement with the fbi, knowing at the worst time I was never gonna get back with my kids. You guys. But that’s nothing compared to the sacrifice that this man made. And don’t get me wrong, I got so many problems with bill. Not just because of who he is and what he’s done, but just… look at the way he dresses.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: Looks– looks like a pirate who got lost in the mall somewhere.

Bill: Lost in the mall?

Ridge: But you know what? This man right here, he defends his family, people he loves, more fiercely than anyone I know.

Carter: Okay, so all of this was to get sheila to confess she murdered those two guys?

Bill: Thought it was gonna take a few weeks. Ended up being months, the longest months of my life.

Ridge: But he didn’t give up.

Donna: Did it work?

Lucy: Did sheila confess?

Ridge: Yes. Taylor: Wait, what? She confessed to killing?

Ridge: Yeah. It’s all on tape.

Taylor: Oh, my god!

Brooke: Oh, my god. Really?

Stephen: So where is she now?

Ridge: Well, she escaped from bill’s place, but then they caught up with her at il giardino.

Donna: Why would she go there?

Ridge: I don’t know. Maybe she was trying to throw people off, but the police have her now, she’s in custody.

Brooke: Can’t believe it.

[ Indistinct chatter, laughter ]

Stephen: I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to fully express my gratitude, or tell you how sorry I am for doubting you.

Ridge: I had plenty of doubt myself.

[ Indistinct chatter, laughter ]

Donna: Thank you, bill.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Hey. So, you have been working with bill this whole time. And I thought you were out soul searching.

Ridge: That would’ve been easier.

Taylor: I don’t know about that.

[ Both laugh ]

Ridge: Yeah. Maybe not.

[ Taylor chuckles ]

Taylor: Well, thank you. I mean… thank you for everything.

Ridge: You okay?

Taylor: I– I’m–

Ridge: It’s over. All of it is over.

Taylor: What do you mean?

Ridge: My new best friend, bill, has cut a deal to exonerate you for the shooting.

[ Taylor sighs in relief ]

Donna: I– I can’t even believe.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: The fbi.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Really?

Ridge: Yeah.

[ Ridge chuckles ]

Brooke: So, you were never really in love with sheila?

[ Bill chuckles ]

Bill: No.

Brooke: No. You sneaky, deceitful, wonderful man. Bill spencer, thank you. Thank you so much.

[ Brooke sighing ] (Vo) for over 50 years

[ Indistinct pa announcement ]

Li: Finn, why? Why, finn? Sheila carter’s pure evil. You couldn’t let her die?

Finn: No. Look, I will– I’ll never forgive sheila for what she did to you and what she tried to take from our children. I love you, steffy. And I know that we had a chance to never have to worry about her again, but I couldn’t do it. Okay? I couldn’t let her die. I had to save her.

Steffy: I– I know. I know. I know. I love you. I love you.

[ Steffy sighs ]

[ Machine beeps steadily ]

Officer: She’s secure. The cuffs are on. She’s not going anywhere. Situation’s secure.

Li: Good. You gonna be here all night?

Officer: I’ll be right outside.

Li: Open your eyes. My son may have saved you, but you’re going to rot in prison, sheila. Then you’re going to rot in hell.

[ Cuffs clink ] Who’s laughing now, sheila?

Eric: I would just like to say, uh, how amazing I think it is that we never have to worry about sheila carter again in our lives. I mean, we owe them both a debt of gratitude. Thank you, bill and ridge. Thank you. Let’s hear it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Ridge: Ah. Why do I feel like I’m gonna be in trouble? I– I didn’t– I mean, thing is, saved the day, her dad. So, uh, turn you on?

Brooke: Mmm… a little, agent forrester. What do you think, taylor?

Taylor: I don’t know. I mean, I’m– I’m definitely feeling something.

[ Brooke gasps ]

Brooke: What are you feeling?

Taylor: Oh, god, I think I’m feeling relief. Just relief. That’s it.

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: Really.

Taylor: Yeah. That’s it.

Ridge: Friendship stuck, I see. Is there anything else that happened while I was gone, or…

Taylor: Uh…

Ridge: Did you guys miss me at all?

Taylor: Mmm…

Eric: Listen, let’s, uh, open a bottle of champagne out on the terrace. Come on. Let’s go.

[ Crosstalk ]

Eric: Come on.

Katie: Uh, I’ll be out in a minute.

[ Indistinct chatter] You lied to me every minute. You made me believe that you were in love with… sheila carter, a monster. You were gonna subject our son to her, that she might become his stepmother. I… I thought you were lost. Do you have any idea what that did to me?

Bill: I’m sorry, katie. I love you. I love our son. I love all my boys. I didn’t wanna hurt you, but… I couldn’t tell anyone or the plan wasn’t gonna work. I– I needed sheila to trust me. That was the only way to keep everyone safe. That was the worst part. Letting everyone think I was– I was letting them down. No one more than you. But it was all an act. An act. And it’s over now.

[ Clinking ]

[ Bill sighing ]

[ Slapping ]

Katie: You are so maddening and frustrating. And there’s no one like you. Extraordinary lengths you go to, it… this one was really crazy. This is why I left you, bill. But it’s also why I love you.

Bill: This is even more satisfying than I imagined it would be. This animal will never hurt anyone again.

Sheila: You’re liars. You manipulated–

Ridge: Will you please shut up! Bill came up with a plan to put you away forever.

Bill: No one will remember you, speak your name, and certainly no one will love you.

Sheila: My son will love me.

Bill: Enough! Cuff her, and gag her while you’re at it. Get her the hell outta here.

Dep. Chief baker: Back up. Call for back up. Surround the perimeter.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Sheila breathing shakily ]

Sheila: I thought you loved me.

Bill: You thought wrong. And the ring, by the way, it’s fake. As fake as the feelings I pretended to have for you.

[ Sheila hyperventilating ]

[ Door opens ]

Ridge: What did you do? What happened?

Deacon: Sheila, why is she on the ground?

Bill: Faking a heart attack.

Ridge: Get up!

Deacon: Sheila, hey. Hey.

Bill: You think this little performance is gonna keep you from going to jail?

Dep. Chief baker: All right, fellas, we got this.

[ Police radio chatters ]

Bill: All right, let’s go celebrate. Excuse me. her. See if she’s has any weapons.

Steffy: I think I’m having a- a little pain right here.

Finn: Yeah? How’s that? You know what? I think the– I think the other side–

Steffy: Oh, really? Okay.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. You have good instincts.

[ Laughs ]

Finn: Is that better?

Steffy: Much better. Gosh, dr. Finnegan, your lips have some magical properties.

Finn: Yeah. Well, I took an oath to act in my patient’s best interests and my wife’S.

Steffy: [ Chuckles ] Well, taking care of people runs in your family.

Finn: Well, thankfully I didn’t inherit any of my birth mother’s characteristics.

Steffy: You are the exact opposite of sheila.

Finn: Maybe there’ll come a time when we don’t have to worry about her anymore.

Steffy: That would be so nice.

Stephen: Hello, honey.

Donna: Daddy! Oh, what a treat. It’s so good to see you.

Eric: It’s been quite some time, stephen.

Stephen: Eric, it’s good to see you.

Eric: And you must be lucy.

Lucy: Oh, it’s so lovely to finally meet you.

Eric: Thank you. I’ve heard only wonderful things. Come in.

Donna: Oh, lu– lucy is the best. A wonderful addition to the family. Now we jus did ridge tell any of you why he wanted us to meet here?

Eric: No. No. He just sent me a text. He asked me to get everybody together and that’s what we’ve done.

Taylor: Hi. Yeah. I-I got the same text. Does anybody know what’s going on?

Brooke: I guess that means ridge is back in town.

Stephen: Well, it took him long enough, didn’t it? I mean, there’s no excuse for abandoning your family at a critical time like this. Not with sheila carter on the loose.

Bill: Sheila was totally fine on the alley until she realized I had her cornered. Then it was the heart attack show, clutching the chest. Falling to the ground, the whole bit.

Deacon: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, phony heart attack or not, she’s going down for murder one.

Bill: We finally got her.

[ Beer bottles clank ] We can move on with our lives.

Ridge: So I texted dad, told him to bring everyone over to the house. I want them to know what you did. What you went through to make sure this family doesn’t have to deal with sheila any longer. Why give your family just any eggs

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah.

Stephen: Typical ridge. He jumps ship when he doesn’t get his way.

Taylor: Well, relationships. Sure. Look, he’s been out there doing some much needed soul searching. That’s gonna take some time.

Donna: Yeah, but I don’t think he meant this long.

Eric: I’m sure ridge has his reasons.

Lucy: Maybe the extra time was necessary to unravel all the old patterns I’ve been hearing so much about.

Stephen: Yeah. Well, honey, that could take years. Decades maybe.

Brooke: Dad, it’s not like ridge has been completely mia. He has been calling in to the office from time to time.

Taylor: He has. Yes. He’s been checking in. I’ve heard from him a few times. So has brooke.

Stephen: He’s not here, taylor. He’s not protecting his family. He’s moping somewhere licking his wounds.

Katie: Eric. Oh.

Eric: Hey, carter. Come in.

Carter: Yeah, we got your text.

Katie: Yeah. Apparently, everyone did. Dad, hi.

Carter: Ridge wanted to see everybody?

Eric: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah. And we don’t know why. We are just as confused as you are.

Katie: Where is he?

Ridge: It’s time they found out I was in los angeles this whole time, working alongside the two of you.

Bill: Yeah. Sure. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Deacon: Yeah. You wanna check my underwear too, bill?

Bill: If I thought you ever washed them, maybe.

Ridge: We’re not sure when this started, but we know there’s something going on between you and sheila.

Bill: You got two choices. Keep making pizzas or go to jail. I would go with cooperating with the authorities and helping us bring sheila to justice.

Deacon: All right. What do I have to do?

Ridge: You came through for us. Still don’t get all the details between you and sheila. I mean, that’s–

Bill: Yeah. Don’t– don’t– don’t need the details. I have enough of my own horrible visuals, don’t need–

Ridge: All right. But obviously, somewhere along the way he fell for her. Can’t understand why, but you did.

Bill: You gotta have regrets. No? Well, whatever. You helped us bring her down so we will keep your little romance between the three of us.

Ridge: That’s fair. We’re not gonna tell brooke or hope.

Deacon: Thank you. I appreciate that. I- I don’t wanna lose my daughter. That’s why I did this.

Bill: You should have thought of that before. Stuck to massaging the pizza dough instead of that lunatic.

Paramedic 1: Where do you want her?

Nurse tina: Get her in e3. Thank you. I’ll get [Indistinct] Ready. Oh, dr. Finnegan, the patient is right in here.

Li: What have we got?

Paramedic 1: Hypertensive and unconscious female. Ecg confirmed heart attack. A hundred milligrams of gt administered.

Li: Vitals.

Paramedic 2: Ep 190/120. Pulse ox 85. Abnormal sinus rhythm.

Li: How long has she been– sheila? Sheila carter?

Katie: Well, this is suspenseful.

Carter: You gotta love ridge for keeping us waiting.

Katie: Yeah.

Donna: Any updates?

Eric: No. No.

Katie: I just don’t understand why he wants us to meet here. I mean, I could get why he would wanna talk to brooke and taylor. He certainly owes you both an explanation, but why… me, carter, donna, dad, lucy.

Stephen: Yeah. Well, he knows he’s in the dog house with me already.

Brooke: Dad’s not so happy with ridge these days.

Katie: Really? I, um… didn’t pick up on that.

Stephen: Well, can you blame me? He treats my daughter’s heart like it’s a chew toy.

Brooke: Okay. Dad, I appreciate your concern. I do. But let’s just let ridge explain.

[ Door opens ]

Stephen: Oh, well. Speak of the devil.

Brooke: Ridge.

Taylor: Hi.

Ridge: Hi. Hi, everyone. Um… I missed you guys. Missed you both.

Taylor: Okay. Everybody missed you too. What– what is going on?

Brooke: Yeah. Why are you here?

Taylor: Come on, ridge. Why– why did you call us all here? Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Deacon: I imagine you’re pretty eager to get over to eric’S.

Bill: Yes, I am. Ridge wanted to… shut it up first. I just want to let everybody know what was going on. I put them through so much. The lies.

Deacon: No, credit where credit’s due. You absolutely deserve a victory lap. I mean, what you and ridge did, you– you put your whole lives on hold for this sting.

Bill: Without ridge’s dedication and his vigilance, sheila never would’ve been taken to custody.

Deacon: Well, no doubt. But I mean, spencer, your sacrifice, you pissed off everyone in your life to protect them from sheila.

Bill: Oh, with the outcome, it was worth it.

Deacon: Well, get ready. Katie, brooke, they’re all gonna hail you as a hero. Hell, the whole damn town will probably throw you a ticker tape parade.

Bill: I don’t give a damn about any of that. I’m– I’m just glad everyone is safe and I was able to rid our lives of sheila.

Deacon: She ain’t getting out of this one.

Bill: I despise that bitch. I wish she had a real heart attack.

Finn: Okay, well, kiss the kids goodnight. And make sure you–

Nurse tina: Dr. Finnegan? Your mother is with a patient who suffered a heart attack. Apparently, she knows her.

Finn: And she knows my mom? What’s the patient’s name?

Nurse tina: Sheila carter.

Taylor: So, what is going on, ridge? Why– why did you call us all here?

Brooke: We encouraged you to stay away, but not for this long.

Taylor: The kids needed you. We needed you.

Brooke: So gathering all of us here has to do with us?

Ridge: It has everything to do with you. Our kids, their kids, our families. I’m looking at you guys. I– I missed you both. I really did.

Brooke: Well, then why did you stay away so long?

Stephen: Yeah. Enough of this selfishness. I mean, really. You should have trusted brooke. You should have trusted your marriage. But instead, you gave up on her and you ran to taylor like you always do. But then you left her too like you always do. You left at your own wedding. What kind of a man does that?

Eric: All right, stephen, come on. That it enough. That’s enough.

Ridge: Dad, it’s all right. No, get it out.

Stephen: Meanwhile, and the whole time that you were out gallivanting around, sheila carter has been on the loose, thanks to bill spencer. But now you come back. Oh, hallelujah. You show up and you summon us here. Well, I hope you have a damn good reason.

Ridge: I do.

Stephen: No. No. There’s no good reason for leaving your family. For barely talking to them. You should have spent a lot of time here, doing everything in your power to watch over them.

Ridge: Well, you know what? I agree with you. And I thought that’s what I was doing.

Donna: How can you say that when you were thousands of miles away? The girls have been looking over their shoulders.

Katie: Hiring extra security.

Brooke: Waiting for sheila to make her next move.

Taylor: While you were off doing whatever it is you were doing.

Katie: Yeah. It might be nice, you know, to not have to run into sheila wherever you go.

Taylor: You know what? It just… it feels like you– like you just kinda checked out. Like you don’t care.

Ridge: Huh?

Brooke: We’ve had to put up with sheila ever since bill went to the dark side.

Taylor: Yeah. Sheila is a danger to all of us because of bill.

[ Door opens ]

Eric: Oh no, bill. No, no. You’re– you’re not welcome in this house. You don’t come here. Go home to sheila.

Ridge: Please, dad. Dad… I invited him here because there’s something I wanna say to everyone. Four delicious pieces of chocolate.

Eric: Bill, you have to go.

Brooke: Go, bill. Now.

Taylor: Why are you just standing there? Leave. We don’t want you here. The lengths that you’ve gone to to keep sheila out of prison is sickening.

Katie: We don’t understand why you would put all of us at risk for her, for that monster.

Eric: You understand better than anyone the– the potential for danger here.

Brooke: God forbid it could be one of the children.

Donna: Whoa, whoa. Don’t you tell me that sheila’s outside right now.

Eric: Oh, she’s not welcome in this house either. She’s given this family more trouble for the last years. You know that.

Taylor: Yeah, he does know that, right? Yeah. You know that, but you still choose to trust her.

Katie: We just wanna know what’s going on with you.

Carter: What explanation could there be for you to think it’s okay to be here?

Ridge: Well, if you just give us a moment.

Taylor: Us?

Stephen: There’s nothing anybody can say here to justify–

Ridge: What– what– what is– what is with you? What– I– do you need to eat? Are you hungry? I’m– I’m trying to explain something. It may sound unbelievable, but it– it’s true.

Brooke: Okay. What is it, ridge? What are you talking about?

Ridge: All of us, we– we can take a big sigh of relief because… of what bill has done.

Brooke: What?

Stephen: What bill has done?

Taylor: What bill has done? Bill is with sheila. He’s in love with her. He is the reason that we’re all in danger.

Bill: All right. All right. I understand you all hate me. I have alienated everyone because sheila has wreaked havoc on each and every one of your lives, one way or another. But she won’t any longer.

Brooke: Oh, god. We have heard this promise before. You promising to keep sheila out of our lives.

Ridge: Yes. And she is.

Katie: How can you say that?

Ridge: Because it’s true. Sheila is out of our lives because of bill.

Steffy: Sheila suffered a heart attack?

Nurse tina: Yes. She’s in critical condition.

Finn: What room?

Nurse tina: E3.

Finn: Okay. Hey, come on.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Monitor beeps ]

Sheila: What– what–

what is this?

What have you done?

Li: You need to leave, now.

Sheila: Finn’s alive.

My son is alive.

Li: Yes.

I’ve been caring for him

as a mother should.

Unlike you,

shooting him

and leaving him for dead.

His real mother stepped in

and saved him.

I saved him.

[ Door opens ]

Finn: Nurse tina has told us sheila had a heart attack. Wait, her vitals. Wait, she’s in bad shape.

[ Flatline beeps ] Wait, mother, she’s your patient. Why aren’t you doing anything?

Li: After everything sheila did to you and steffy, shot you both, left for dead.

Finn: What are you saying? Mother?

Li: Let her die. Let sheila carter die.

Nurse tina: I’m here. Ready to clear, dr. Finnegan? Dr. Finnegan.

Deacon: You want me to run away with you?

Sheila: Yes, I do, but we’re gonna have to leave soon. Okay, we’re gonna have to head north and we can’t take your car. We’re gonna need to get new identities.

Deacon: New identities? Slow down. I– I can’t just leave here.

Sheila: Yes, you can. You can. You don’t want to lose me from your life, do you? Not with the connection that we have.

Deacon: Listen to me. You know how I feel about you, but come on, I mean, you were here earlier gushing about your future with bill, showing off that rock. I mean, what am I supposed to think?

Sheila: No, but he– he betrayed me, okay? He was– he was using me. I thought we were going to get married and– and have a life together. You know, I… I always felt it was too good to be true and it was.

Bill: Stop blaming everyone else for what you’ve done! Now everyone knows. Everyone knows exactly how criminal and murderous you are. You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No! That bastard was playing me this whole time.

Ridge: I can’t believe she’s getting away.

Bill: She won’T. We know she’s going to sharpe’S.

Ridge: We have it! We have her confession. We have everything we need to put sheila away. The only thing we don’t have is sheila! So bill, do me a favor. Go to deacon’s and find her!

Finn: Steffy.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Someone could–

Steffy: No one’s gonna see us. I made sure no one was here.

Finn: Well, I’m not complaining. It’s just that when you texted me that you had a surprise for me, I thought you meant when I got home.

Steffy: We’re still gonna have fun when we get home, but I thought I could just stop by and give you another kiss.

Finn: Well, I’m glad you drove over here and made it happen with me.

Steffy: Who else was I gonna make it happen with? Like another hot doctor?

Finn: Hm?

Steffy: Well.

Finn: Well, lucky me ’cause I’m always a big fan of your surprises.

Chen: Bill, wait for lapd. They’re the closest units.

Ridge: Don’t do anything until they make contact with them, okay?

Bill: This is it, boys. Sheila’s run straight to deacon’s, a place she won’t be able to hide.

Sheila: Bill told me everything when I confronted him. He said how it was a setup from the start, how ridge was a part of it, the fbi, they’ve been listening to everything.

Deacon: How the hell did the feds get involved? And you came here?

Sheila: Where else was I gonna go?

Deacon: Sheila, are they following you?

Sheila: Yes. That’s why we need to go. I’ve got a [Indistinct]. Please. Please, come with me. Help me escape. Deacon, please. My celebrity colorist?

Steffy: Well, I hope the rest of your night is filled with good surprises and not a single bad one.

Finn: Oh, like a visit from a certain biological parent, you mean.

Steffy: She does like to pop in unexpectedly.

Finn: I think I have successfully conveyed how unwelcome sheila is here or at home or anywhere near us.

Steffy: But sheila doesn’t listen to warning. She does her own thing. We can’t act like she’s not a threat.

Finn: Well, thanks to bill.

Steffy: Like, it blows my mind. I don’t even understand what he’s thinking.

Finn: That’s the problem. He’s not.

Steffy: You’re right. He isn’t thinking. The only thing he’s thinking about is sheila and her feelings. But this isn’t bill. Not bill at all. I’m really just hoping that bill just snaps out of it and somehow, some way, he comes to his senses and he just puts an end to sheila.

Chen: Okay, ridge.  Let’s do this.

Ridge: Bill, we’ll meet you there.

Bill: After all I’ve done, what I put into this, can’t wait to see it in person. Sheila taken into custody.

Sheila: Come with me and we– we can start fresh together and we’ll figure it out as we go along the way.

Deacon: You gotta give me a minute here to process this.

Sheila: We don’t have a minute.

Deacon: Sheila, what– what about my restaurant? What about my daughter? I can’t just leave. My future’s in L.A.

Sheila: And it can be again, eventually.

Deacon: You’re not hearing me.

Sheila: I want you to come with me. You’re the one person that I’ve been able to count on. You gave me a safe place to stay when I needed it. Nobody else would have done that. They would have slammed the door in my face and called the police, but you didn’t do that, deacon. You didn’t turn me in. Why?

Deacon: You know why, sheila.

Sheila: It’s because you love me. And I love you. I got caught up with bill, thinking that he was my ticket to freedom, that we were going to have a life together, but I swear, I swear, I never fell for him the way that I feel for you. You know– you know that that is true. The moments that we’ve shared, we risked everything to be together. Oh, baby, I’m never gonna find another man like you. Someone who understands me completely and I know that you feel the same way. You’ve already said it. You never met a woman like me.

Deacon: You got that right. And you’re not wrong about my feelings for you, sheila. You’re not, but I just– I just– I don’t wanna lose what we have. I don’t wanna lose you.

Sheila: Then don’T. Come with me.

Deacon: Listen to me. Maybe, just maybe, there’s another way. Just, let me think for a second. Okay. Just hear me out on this. What if… what if you just turned yourself in?

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Sheila, I got this gut feeling that if you keep running, eventually something really bad is gonna happen.

Sheila: You are… you are so, so sweet and so kind. I need you. I want to be with you, so please come with me. Please, but we’ve got to go. We’ve got to go now. We’ve got to go this instant.

Deacon: Sheila, please, baby, I’m begging you, just turn yourself in. Show them that you’re remorseful.

Sheila: Oh, yeah and what? I’m gonna get a slap on the wrist? This is murder one in addition to everything else. If I want a chance, if I want my freedom, I need to leave. I need to leave now and never come back. Please, don’t– don’t tell me I’m gonna do that on my own. Hey, we’ve got– we’ve got so much ahead of us. So much living to do, so why don’t we just do it together? Please. Say that you’ll join me for as long as you’re able. Maybe even a lifetime. Yes, yes. Thank you. Thank you. We gotta go. We gotta go.

Finn: I hate to say it, but my break’s almost over.

Steffy: But you don’t hate it. Dr. Finnegan loves his work. That is something I admire and respect about you. So devoted to your patients.

Finn: I can’t help it. It’s what attracted me to medicine in the first place. It’s to help people, heal them, save lives.

Steffy: Yeah, totally. It’s similar to what I do in the fashion industry.

Finn: Well, putting on a forrester gown, that makes people feel good. Like royalty even. No, I just– I just think it’s a different version of helping someone. You know, and we both had great role models growing up, inspiring us into our future careers. You know, you had your dad to look up to and I had my mom.

Steffy: A great role model. Obviously not talking about sheila carter.

Deacon: I don’t know where you think you can go.

Sheila: We. You mean we, right?

Deacon: Listen, I’ve got a really bad feeling about this. Please turn yourself in.

Sheila: No. Never. I am– I am never going back to prison.

Bill: Oh, I think you are.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Sheila: Was– was any of this even real?

Deacon: Yeah. But I– I–

Sheila: No, it’s okay. I… I understand.

Ridge: Nice work, deacon.

Bill: You bought us just enough time.

Baker: I’ve been waiting to say this for years. Sheila carter, you’re under arrest for murder.

Baker: Lance day’s death, one of my first cases to be unsolved. Finally, after all these years, I get a chance to put you away.

Ridge: I think what he’s saying is thank you for confessing, sheila.

Bill: Finally going down for lance day, maybe dr. Jay garvin, not to mention your countless attempted murders.

Baker: You’re gonna spend the rest of your life behind bars, sheila. We got it from here.

Sheila: It’s okay. I will never forget everything that you did for me.

Bill: This is even more satisfying than I imagined it would be. After all the risks, all the planning, all the sacrifices getting here, knowing this animal will never hurt anyone again.

Sheila: No. You are the animals. You’re liars. You manipulated–

Ridge: Would you please shut up! You shot your own son. Didn’t call anyone to help him. You just turned around and shot my daughter. You left them both in the alley to die. Did you really think I was gonna just let that go? Really? Bill came up with a plan to put you away forever. Keep our families safe.

Bill: Now, we can look in your demon eyes and know that you’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison. Nowhere near our families, nowhere near our grandchildren, never free again. No one will remember you, speak your name, and certainly, no one will love you.

Sheila: My son will love me. Finn is my flesh!

Ridge: You don’t really think that just because you guys share dna, that that boy is gonna–

Sheila: This is because of steffy! None of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for her.

Ridge: Mention my daughter one more time.

Sheila: Okay, I will. Because you know exactly how she treated me. None of this would’ve happened if she could’ve even shown an ounce of kindness.

Deacon: Damn it, sheila. Stop, just stop. Please. You’re just making it worse. I’m sorry it had to end this way.

Sheila: It is not going to end this way.

Bill: Enough! Cuff her! Gag her while you’re at it! Get her the hell out of here!

Baker: Oh! Backup! Requesting backup!

[ Officers shouting ]

Finn: Try not to think about sheila, okay? I am gonna keep you safe from her. You and the kids. Look, you can count on it.

[ Sheila panting ]

[ Sirens blaring ]

[ Gunshot ]

Sheila: No! No! No!

[ Sirens blaring ] Ow!

[ Sheila grunting ]

Your reputation as a scheming, lying son of a bitch doesn’t even come close to what you are.

[ Bill chuckling ]

I thought you loved me.

Bill: You thought wrong. It would take one sick, twisted loser to love someone like you. How have you lived your whole life and not figured that out yet? Well, maybe it’ll finally sink in when you’re all alone in a 6×8 cell staring at a wall. And the ring, by the way, is fake. As fake as the feelings I pretended to have for you.

[ Sheila grunting ]

Sheila: You weren’t the only one pretending.

[ Bill chuckling ]

[ Sheila chuckling ] It might be the end of us, but it is not the end of me.

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Sheila groaning ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Bill: You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No!

Ridge: No.

Bill: Sheila!

Ridge: She’s just fell off the balcony.

Chen: Agent Venice, subject down. Repeat, subject down.

Ridge: You have eyes on her? What just happened?


Sheila: Bill proposed. He wants to marry me. God, is this– is this really happening? Is this just too good to be true?

Hope: Hello, hello, hello.

Deacon: Hey.

Hope: Got time to spend with your favorite daughter?

Deacon: What, are you kidding me? It’s what I live for. Get over here. Hi.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Are you okay?

Deacon: Yeah. Why? What’s up?

Hope: I don’t know. I just feel like there’s maybe something more going on with you, Dad. Are you going to tell me what that is?


Hope: If something’s wrong, I’d like to know. Maybe I could help.

Deacon: What makes you think something’s wrong?

Hope: Well, Dad, come on. You’ve been pretty distracted and intense lately. I sometimes catch you brooding in that corner while you think no one’s watching.

Deacon: You know, running a restaurant’s a lot. I’m still learning. I’m making mistakes along the way. Just takes up a lot of real estate in the old brain.

Hope: Yeah?

Deacon: Yeah. I don’t want you worrying about me. I’ll get my sea legs, you know, feel in control of things soon enough.


Deacon: I don’t want my daughter worrying about me. Come on, what about you? You have got to be thrilled that Douglas is finally moving back home.

Hope: Well, yes, I am over the moon because it felt like a piece of my heart was missing the entire time he was gone. Makes me very worried about what I’m actually going to be like when they grow up and move out of the house.

Deacon: Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that for a while.

Hope: I know. He was only gone at Steffy’s for a few weeks and it feels like he came back three inches taller. Like, I feel like I missed so much.

Deacon: I know the feeling. My unsolicited advice, don’t dwell on the past. Look, your boy’s home right now. It’s kind of like martial arts. Just focus on what’s right in front of you. You know, that way you don’t miss anything else.

Hope: Oh, look at you. So wise and knowledgeable.

Deacon: Well, listen, you know, it was bound to happen sooner or later along this journey, right? Kicking and screaming most of the time, but still. I am kind of curious though. I mean, was there something specific that happened that– that led Douglas to want to come back home finally?

Hope: Yeah, actually. It was seeing Thomas and me getting along. Working well together and Douglas is a very perceptive young man and he picked up on that tension between Thomas and me regarding his custody and that’s why he chose to go live with Steffy instead of either of us. But we are in a good place now.

Deacon: And you think that’ll hold?

Hope: Yes, we function well when we’re working together and right now, we have a very full plate.

Deacon: Look, hey, I said it before. All right, I mean, I’m no angel. I think we both know that, I don’t want to come across as a hypocrite, but I’m your dad. I gotta ask, I mean, are you sure that Darth Thomas will keep himself from going to the dark side again and becoming completely obsessed with you like he did more than once?

Hope: Dad, he is in a better place now.

Deacon: You really believe that, huh?

Hope: Yes, because for once he’s actually backing it up with action instead of just words. And besides, I have made my position very, very clear. One backslide and he’s out of there and you know, whatever happens to my line happens. Dad, I am going to need you to trust me.

Deacon: I do trust you. I do trust you. All right, but I’m your dad. All right. It’s my job. I’m always gonna worry about you, but I want you to remember something, all right? You are Hope Freaking Logan and half of you is a Sharpe. You created this brand. If the worst should happen, you could build it again and you could do it without Thomas, so I need you to promise me something.

Hope: What’s that?

Deacon: The first sign of any inappropriate behavior by Thomas, you kick his ass to the curb. That way, I won’t have to.

Hope: Dad, I already promised Liam the same thing, so I have no problem promising that to you.

Deacon: Good, so what does everyone’s favorite vegan have to say about you and Thomas working together?

Hope: Well, he’s not thrilled to say the least.

Deacon: But, you know, I can understand that. But, you know, Hope, you’re– you’re an adult. You’re a grown woman. You know, you make your own decisions and choices. I mean, and all we can do is support you and, you know, hope they work out.

Hope: Thank you, dad. I– I appreciate that.

Deacon: I just hope that you working with Thomas doesn’t cause problems for your marriage.

Hope: Liam and I won’t let it. Nothing is more important than our family. And as for Hope For The Future, do I want it to succeed? You bet. I’ve spent too many years of my life pouring everything that I have into it.

Deacon: All right, then I guess all we can do is wish you all the luck in the world.

Hope: Thank you, Dad.

Deacon: Just be careful with that guy. All right. Look, I know– I know you trust him, but I ain’t there. Not even close.

Hope: Dad, you don’t need to worry about Thomas. Besides, not when we have someone like Sheila Carter still on the loose.


Bill: Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone?

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Hey, what happened? Is she dead?

Bill: I thought she might be. I ran down to the lawn, she was gone.

Ridge: She’s gone?

Bill: Gone. She took the car, she’s gone. I’m gonna call you back.

Bill: I love you, Sheila. I’ve never seen anything like you. I don’t want you to get away. I want to give you everything you deserve.


Sheila: They were just lies. All lies. I’ve been so stupid.

Bill: Open up, you need to share with me. Tell each other everything, everything, everything.

Sheila: No!


Hope: I mean, I still can’t even believe that Bill and Sheila are together. That Bill is blackmailing Steffy and Finn, bribing a judge just so Sheila can be out of prison.

Deacon: Bill is full of surprises. You gotta give him that.

Hope: Yeah, well, you know, I see her sometimes. Sheila waltzing around Beverly Hills as if she’s entitled to some normal life. I mean, think about it, Dad. I mean, what if that isn’t even enough for her? What if she wants more? What if she wants that family? What if she goes after Steffy and Finn again? Tries something with Hayes?

Deacon: Honey, I think we have to just take the Sheila situation one step at a time.

Hope: Dad, there shouldn’t even be a Sheila situation. She should be behind bars, not living the high life with dollar Bill, having him protect her.

Deacon: You know, sweetheart, life is funny. It eventually works itself out.

Hope: What do you mean?

Deacon: I don’t think we have to worry about Sheila any longer.

Hope: Okay, uh, how can you even say that?


Chen: Thank you, Chief Baker. We will.

Ridge: How the hell did this happen?

Chen: Local authorities on full alert. Have description of vehicle and subject. I want updates on the fives.

Ridge: Right, Bill’s on the road too. We had her! We had a confession and once again, Sheila’s gone.


Sheila: A Dr. Jay Garvin, he was a therapist that was treating me and he threatened me. Let go of me.

Jay: No, get a hold of–

Sheila: Let go!

[ Jay screaming ]

Sheila: He fell over the balcony and he died.

Bill: Fell. Let a jury decide.


Sheila: There was Lance Day, and he threatened me too.

Bill: What happened?

Sheila: I found out he was deathly allergic to bees. I tried to talk sense into him. He gave me no choice though. I sent bees…

Lance: Ow.

Sheila: …Into his bedroom when he was sleeping and he was stung over

Lance: Let me out of here!

Sheila: And over…

Lance: Please help me! Help me!

Sheila: …And over again.

Lance: I can’t breathe.

Sheila: And uh, I made sure he couldn’t get out of that room.

Lance: Call 9-1-1.

Sheila: And he– he pleaded with me for help.

Lance: Help me. Help me please.

Sheila: I just watched him gasp for air.

Bill: So, this Lance, you intentionally killed him?

Sheila: Yes. Bill, I’m a murderer.

Bill: Say it again.


Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list. It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out to the only man who truly understood you. You confessed, Sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices everywhere. Why don’t you give your best smile and wave to Ridge and Agent Chen from the FBI. It was all an act with the FBI watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re gonna cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life!

Sheila: Oh, no. You are wrong, Bill. I am never gonna see the inside of a prison again, you bastard.


Hope: How can you say that Sheila is no longer a threat? I mean, Dad, as long as Sheila is breathing air, she’s a danger to the people around her, especially the ones that she claims to love.

Deacon: I think–

[ Phone chiming ]

Deacon: Hang on. Honey, I’m gonna have to cut this short. Something came up, I… hey, Hope. I love you and I’m so proud of you. I just hope that I always give you reason to be proud of me too. Come here.

Hope: Well, I love you too, Dad.


Bill: Got something for me?

Ridge: No. Feds, LAPD, they’re canvassing the area. What about you?

Bill: Still working against that head start? We both know where she’s going. She won’t get away. Not this time.


Deacon: What’s wrong?

Sheila: Everything. I can’t believe I fell for it. This whole time, it’s been a lie.

Deacon: What are you talking about? What happened?

Sheila: I went back to Bill’s and I accepted his proposal. And here, I thought that I was gonna be starting this wonderful new future and life as– as Mrs. Bill Spencer.

Deacon: That was the plan.

Sheila: I know. He– he said that I needed to open up to him. That there were secrets that I had, things in my past that I was ashamed of and he wanted openness and honesty. What a joke that was.

Deacon: Wait a second, did– did you tell him something that you shouldn’t have? Is that what this is about?

Sheila: Yes. Things that I’m not proud of, but I had no choice. I had to survive.

Deacon: Survive how?

Sheila: There was a Dr. Jay Garvin and– and a kid named Lance Day.

Deacon: Okay, okay. What about ’em?

Sheila: Garvin and I, we were in an argument and he died. He fell over a balcony. I swear. I swear that was an accident.

Deacon: Okay. What about the other guy? Sheila, what are you telling me? What, you meant to kill him?

Sheila: I had to.

Deacon: And you said that Spencer? You– you confessed to murder?

Sheila: I know, I know. It was stupid, but we– we just got engaged and I– I really, I wanted to be honest and– and open with him and have him love me anyways. Is there something really so wrong with that?

Deacon: No, no, of course not. How did he react?

Sheila: He left the room. It was really odd. I just– he’s been acting so strange lately and– and it was like a alarm went off for me and finally, I went looking for him and then there he was, he was– he was on the phone telling them that they– they got me.

Deacon: Who’s they?

Sheila: Ridge.

Deacon: Forrester?

Sheila: Yes, and the feds.

Deacon: The feds?

Sheila: This whole thing has been a setup. He has been playing me this whole time. He had cameras everywhere, rooms bugged. Everything that I said and I did, they were monitoring me. Bill never loved me. He never wanted to be with me. Oh, no, he made it perfectly clear that he hates me. He wants to see me spend the rest of my life in prison. Please, you’ve got to help me. Deacon, I want you to come with me, okay? We can escape, we can be together. Just say yes. Will you just say– say that you’re gonna run away with me? Please? I love you, you know that.

Bill: [Chuckles] Yeah. You did it. You finally opened up.

Sheila: That excites you, bill? Because what I told you is terrible.

Bill: Is it the truth?

Sheila: Yes.

Bill: This dr. Garvin, you had a fight and annie went over the balcony. And lance day. You killed him.

Ridge: Where is your team?

Sheila on audio: Yeah, but he threatened–

Ridge: Are they close?

Sheila: Yeah, these are really terrible memories, and this is such an important day. I really don’t want to spoil the moment you… you proposed.

Bill: [Chuckles]

Sheila: You want me to be your wife and I am so… I am so happy.

[Both chuckle]

Bill: So am I. You have no idea.

Sheila: Doesn’t it scare you? What–what I’ve done?

Bill: No, sheila. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ridge: Yes, we have. We got her. She just confessed! That’s it!

Chen: Spencer did it.

Ridge: Oh, we’re sending the killer to prison and she’s never going to bother our families again.

Sheila: You don’t care… what I’ve done?

Bill: All that matters is that you finally said it.

[Phone buttons clicking]

Brooke: Is everything all right?

Katie: Yeah, it’s will. I mean, he’s fine. He’s better than fine. I just don’t really know what to say to him about his father. You know, I just keep hoping that bill is going to come to his senses or that I’m going to be able to say something to get through to him, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what happened to the man I thought I knew.

Brooke: So bill won’t listen to you at all?

Katie: He won’t listen to anybody. I can only imagine how difficult it’s been for you regarding will.

Katie: Well, I just try to keep things as vague as possible regarding his relationship with sheila. I mean, will adores his father. And no one, or at least I thought no one, was more important to bill than his children and his grandchildren. I mean, he would never want to cause his family any kind of pain. So I don’t understand it. Why is sheila carter suddenly so important to him?

Sheila: I just told you the worst thing I’ve ever done in my life.

Bill: Yeah, it took you long enough.

Sheila: [Scoffs] What?

Bill: You just told me your– your deepest, darkest secrets. It’s going to change everything.

Sheila: In a good way.

Bill: In the best way.

Ridge: Come on, spencer. Can you please keep it together?

Bill: I’ve always known exactly who you are. I’m going to keep my promise. I’m going to give you the future that you so richly deserve. [Laughs]

Bill: [Chuckles]

Ridge: Bill came through! He got sheila to confess. Tell me you got all that.

Chen: It’s all been recorded.

Ridge: Okay, good. She’s going away for murder one. Our plan worked.

Chen: It’s not over. We don’t have sheila in custody yet.

Sheila: Bill, if what i told you hasn’t changed your feelings about us, then why suddenly so quiet?

Bill: Oh, I’m, uh… I’m just thinking about the future, what’s ahead of us now. I am more pleased and relieved than you could ever imagine.

Sheila: Relieved? Relieved that I accepted your proposal? Did you think I might not?

Brooke: Well, you did, uh, you did hesitate. I wasn’t expecting that.

Sheila: It’s because no one has ever treated me the way that you do. I know our relationship, it’s unconventional, but I know that you love me. Are you worried about your family, how they might react?

Bill: Well, uh… my family has never really understood what’s going on here, but hopefully now they will.

Sheila: [Laughs] Do you think that there might be a chance that they accept us? Because that would be worth a celebration.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I see a tremendous celebration on the horizon. But right now, that’s just one thing I have to take care of. I promise I’ll be right back.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: You just stay put.

[Door opens, closes]

Katie: If I thought I could talk some sense into bill, I would be over at the house right now.

Brooke: Gosh. No, you can’t do that. Talking to him is pointless. He can’t even say one word when sheila’s in the room.

Katie: He just lets her rant and rave, and he barely makes eye contact.

Brooke: It’s so strange, right?

Katie: He’s the most assertive person I’ve ever met in my entire life. But with her, suddenly he’s so passive, it’s–it’s unnerving.

Carter: Hey. Seems like you guys are having a serious meeting. Is everything okay?

Katie: Yeah, we’re just, you know, talking about bill and sheila.

Carter: Something happen?

Brooke: No, that’s the problem. Nothing’s happened. Nothing’s changed at all.

Katie: Bill is as inscrutable as ever, and we don’t understand it. I mean, the man that we have known is just–he’s like a shell of himself.

Brooke: We just have to hope and pray that bill wakes up one day and makes sheila pay for her crimes.

Bill: Tell me you got that.

Ridge: Yes, we did. We got all of it. Congratulations. It’s a lot of work, but we got it done.

Bill: The whole confession, names, everything?

Chen: Agent chen here. Affirmative, bill. Good work, but you’re not done. It’s critical you keep sheila at the estate until my team reaches your location.

Bill: Don’t worry. I can handle sheila. We got her. We finally got her.

Sheila: You got me? Who are you talking to, bill? (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Carter: There is no question that bill is not himself, allowing sheila to dictate his life.

Brooke: Who’s allowed in the house, and how we’re supposed to speak to her when we’re there?

Katie: All his protective instincts are pointed in the wrong direction.

Brooke: He’s not even looking out for himself.

Carter: I mean, the woman shot her own son. She left finn in that alley to die. She’s not someone bill can trust.

Katie: He’s always been a risk taker. He thrives on danger and excitement, but this is beyond reckless.

Carter: Is that the attraction? He likes playing with fire?

Katie: I don’t think so. He doesn’t seem to be getting any kind of thrill out of this.

Carter: Okay, so then is it penance for hurting you and brooke?

Katie: I thought that might be the case at first, but then we would have been able to talk him out of this. One thing is for sure, the longer this goes on, the more danger we’re all in. Especially bill.

Sheila: You finally got me. Who were you talking to on the phone? Tell me, bill. You weren’t talking about our engagement, our marriage, our future, were you?

Bill: Our marriage? [Chuckles] Our–our future? This great love story, you and me? The woman who shot steffy and finn, the vicious criminal who tried to kill my granddaughter’s mother?

Sheila: Criminal? You think… you asked me to be your wife? You put this ring on my finger, and you professed your love over and over again. We made love in your bed. You told me your deepest, darkest secrets, your feelings. You shared that with me.

Bill: No, no, no. You shared your deepest crimes with me.

Sheila: No way. What you’re saying, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Bill: Doesn’t it, though? Everything I’ve said, everything I’ve done, sacrificed, it all finally does make sense, sheila. Come on, now. I know you’re delusional, but it’s got to be sinking in. The lie that I’ve been living for months, the acting challenge of a lifetime. Pretending to defend you, care about you, love you.

Ridge: You had to overplay it didn’t you? Don’t let her get away.

[Running footsteps on audio]

Bill: You’re not getting out of this.

Sheila: You never even wanted me here.

Bill: When you leave, it’ll be in cuffs.

Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list.

Sheila: No, no, because if you wanted me locked up, you could have had me arrested on the beach that night.

Bill: Oh, you mean that night when you just happened to find me moping in the dark, drinking away my sorrows, all alone at il giardino?

Sheila: You were in pain. You were lost and hurting. Oh, my god.

Bill: Is the light going on? Is it? Was I lost and hurting? Or was I waiting for you to take the bait? It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out [Mocking] To the only man who truly understood you. [Regular voice] You finally did. Took me months. Had to put a ring on your finger, but I got you. That poor lance kid, he’s gonna get his justice. His killer is going to be locked up for good.

Sheila: No, no, because this is not happening.

Bill: You confessed, sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life, and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Your reign of terror is over. You hear me? It’s over, bitch!

Brooke: So it doesn’t bother carter that you’re so worried about bill?

Katie: Carter’s worried, too.

Brooke: You can’t let it impact your relationship. When it’s new like this, the stress can…

Katie: He’s been a rock for me. He’s been so supportive and understanding.

Brooke: Okay. I’m glad.

Katie: I’ve really needed it, too, because this whole situation with bill and sheila has made me feel a little crazy.

Brooke: You’re not crazy. Bill is the crazy one. He’s hurting everybody that he says he cares about.

Katie: And for no reason. I don’t know. I just can’t help but think that there’s got to be something more to this. It can’t just be about protecting sheila. There’s got to be something we’re missing.

Brooke: What?

Katie: I don’t know. But the man I fell in love with, the father of my son, wouldn’t do something like this. I just have to believe that the real bill is in there somewhere… just waiting to come out.

Sheila: I never… terrorized you, bill. I cared about you.

Bill: Every moment I spent with you was pure anguish. But I couldn’t give in to my revulsion. I needed you to confess.

Sheila: You can’t prove anything. There’s–there’s no evidence. No one knows what I said, so it’s your word against mine.

Bill: Well, that–that would be a problem if every incriminating word you spoke hadn’t been recorded. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices, here, there, everywhere. As a matter of fact, why don’t you give your best smile and wave to ridge and agent chen from the fbi?

Sheila: Ridge was a part of all of this?

Bill: Oh, look, yeah. You know how those dress designers can be, holding a grudge when you try and kill their daughter? You shot steffy and left her for dead!

Ridge: And now you’re gonna pay.

Bill: You think ridge was going to let you get away with that? No. We were never alone here. You were never safe. I never cared about you. It was all an act with the fbi watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re going to cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: What about everything you said to me? To brooke, to katie, your sons?

Bill: Well, you know, I don’t want to be a braggart, pat myself on the back, but I was pretty good. They actually believed that I had fallen under your spell. See, I had to convince them to convince you. I had to burn every bridge.

Sheila: And they hate you for that!

Bill: Not as much as I hate you! It killed me. Having to listen to you fawn over me. Made me want to puke. Having to hug you, hold you, caress you. Have–have you… in my…in my bed.

Sheila: You call me a monster. The only way that this despicable plan could even work is if I’m not one. All I ever wanted was to be loved, to… have someone show me some compassion, some understanding. And what did you do? You used me, bill. You used me!

Bill: Yes. You are damn right, I did. Who could ever love something like you?

Sheila: My son. He wanted to know me. My own flesh and blood. If steffy hadn’t poisoned him against me–

Bill: Just shut up! Stop blaming everyone else for what you’ve done. Now everyone knows. Everyone knows exactly how criminal and murderous you are. You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No! [Shrieking]

Ridge: No!

Sheila: [Yells]

[Body lands]

[Birds cawing]

[ Dramatic music ]

Sheila: What are you up to, bill? What’s going on?

Ridge: Oh, no.

Bill: I’ve asked you to be my wife.

Sheila: And you’ve been good to me in every way, but one thing history has shown me is that if things seem too good to be true, they usually are.

Ridge: She knows. She’s onto him.

Chen: Everyone, standby.

Sheila: Are you playing me?

Brooke: It is quite shocking that thomas is designing for hope for the future again, but, you know, trying to be supportive for hope’s sake.

Katie: Yeah, well, fingers crossed. Maybe thomas will end up surprising us all.

Brooke: Yeah. I guess carter was surprised to find out that thomas was back on the payroll.

Katie: Yeah. His jaw was on the floor.

Brooke: I thought that only happened when you walked in the room.

Carter: He’s a good man.

Brooke: I’m happy that you’re happy.

Katie: Well, I will admit, it’s been nice having him by my side through this whole bill drama, but I would be happier if bill would just eliminate sheila from his life once and for all.

Brooke: Yeah.

Steffy: That’s a nice surprise. I love that you’re able to sneak away from the hospital just to be with me.

Finn: My procedure got rescheduled and I want to take full advantage.

Steffy: Well, I am glad to hear that… ’cause I was thinking about taking full advantage of you.

Finn: We gotta keep stealing these moments, steffy.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: Moments when the craziness of bill and sheila isn’t consuming us.

Steffy: I was wondering how long it was gonna take before we brought them up.

Finn: Well, that was just about three and a half minutes.

Steffy: Really? Well, how about we block another three minutes because all I want to be doing is consuming my sexy, sweet husband.

Brooke: Bill completely shut me out.

Katie: Me too basically.

Brooke: Well, let’s just hope he wakes up before sheila does any more damage.

Katie: He’s so secretive about their life together. Kind of makes me wonder what he’s really up to.

Bill: Playing you? What do you mean?

Sheila: What is this? What are you doing?

Ridge: Okay, slow down. Don’t let her rattle you.

Bill: Could I make myself

any clearer? I have given you an engagement ring, asked you to marry me. Now, I– I realize that may be a bit of a shock.

Sheila: Oh, a shock? It’s unbelievable. It’s unreal. Only in my wildest dreams. And that’s what makes me wonder, what’s really going on here? What’s the #1 retinol brand

Katie: I– I just, I don’t understand it. I know that he says he feels abandoned and– and alone, but how can he turn his back on his– his kids. I know he loves will, despite this insane attachment to sheila. I mean, how can he not see how destructive this is to himself, to his family, his friends?

Brooke: I don’t know. Just seems like he doesn’t care anymore. It’s like he’s given up.

Katie: I just don’t know how he could throw it all away. His relationship with his kids and his family, for– all for this psycho.

Bill: I thought we trusted each other.

Sheila: I thought so too.

Bill: Well then, what’s the problem? Am I moving too fast? Look, talk to me. I mean, we’re already living together. I– I have distanced myself from everyone in my life because you’re my priority. You’re the only one I want, so why not make our commitment official?

Ridge: Come on, spencer. Pick up the pace. Tell sheila what she wants to hear.

Bill: I know it’s a big step. You’re scared. Hell, I’m scared too. It’s a big risk we take, being open and vulnerable. We’ve both been burned a thousand times before.

Sheila: Yeah. I don’t like it when people betray me.

Bill: And I don’t like it when people betray me. That’s why I understand. Things haven’t turned out the way you hoped. You’ve had the rug pulled out from underneath you. Men don’t accept you. They turn and run the other way. That’s why you’re so guarded.

Sheila: Am I afraid or… guarded? Suspicious? Or am I just smart? And perceptive?

Ridge: Get it together, billy, or this whole thing is gonna blow.

Sheila: Tell me, bill. Am I right? Are you up to no good? Remember the things you loved

Steffy: Wow.

[ Steffy chuckling ] Gosh. Nothing these past few months are making any sense.

Finn: Yeah. And here we are analyzing why bill is doing the things that he’s doing. I mean…

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Is he really buying what sheila is selling?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know why bill is alienating himself from liam and wyatt, katie and brooke. Why is he defending that monster?

Finn: And blackmailing your mom.

Steffy: Where has my dad been?

Finn: Ridge has been gone months now.

Steffy: He checks in occasionally, usually about business, but where is he? And why isn’t he here to help us?

Ridge: Come on, bill. Get it done. Turn it around.

Bill: Wow.

Wow, I never saw that coming. Not from you. Haven’t I proven myself enough? Haven’t I devoted enough of myself to you? I’ve burned every bridge in my life. I’ve gone against my kids, my own kids. I mean, what more do you want from me?

I have given all of myself

to you.

I’ve gotten down on one knee.

No strings, no pre-nup.

Ridge: There you go.

Bill: Why would I do that? Because I thought I finally found someone who would love and accept me for me. I’m a flawed man. I can admit that.

I have my demons.

I have committed crimes.

I have done the unimaginable, just like you have. Does that mean I’m not deserving of being loved? Does that mean I’m not deserving of being seen and understood for who I am? No. I am deserving of that. And I thought I finally found that in you. And that’s why I promised to give you the same in return. Because we both finally found true love. But you have to be willing to accept it, sheila. Will you accept it? Will you say yes? Let me put this ring on your finger, make you my wife and give you the future that you so wretchedly deserve.

Sheila: Yes. Yes, bill. I will marry you. I’d love to be your wife.

I would love to be your wife.

Ridge: Good. She bought it.

Chen: Nice work.

Ridge: That was all bill. I’m glad he got it done ’cause I gotta tell you, couldn’t take another minute of mr. Romance over there.

[ Sheila laughing ] Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Steffy: Did my dad move and not tell us? Is he some place gorgeous, just living it up?

Finn: Ridge will be back eventually. And I’m sure karma will take care of sheila some day because right now, I just want to enjoy you, steffy. I want to enjoy us. And I made a commitment to keep you and my family safe, but… I also vowed to have and to hold you for eternity.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s a really– that’s a really long time.

Finn: It’s not long enough, if you ask me.

Katie: He’s lost to us. I don’t know. The man that we’ve known, that we’ve loved, he’s not there anymore.

Brooke: I know. Sheila’s presence has changed him.

Katie: I just have to believe that the old bill spencer is in there somewhere and he’s gonna come back to us.

Brooke: And then sheila will be out of all of our lives once and for all.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Ah, yes. All this time watching bill pretend that he’s into sheila.

Chen: Finally, she trusts him enough to accept his proposal, but can he get her to confess to murder one?

Ridge: He better. It’s the only way we can put her away forever.

[ Both laughing ]

Sheila: Oh, it is beautiful.

Bill: I couldn’t let you get away. This moment was too important to me. I know exactly what I want my future to look like from this day forward and I don’t ever want to wonder where you are. But to do this, we have to have a foundation of complete openness and honesty. Trust.

Now, I have been totally

forthcoming with you,

but there are things you

haven’t shared with me. Secrets from your past that– that frighten you, that you’re ashamed of. Secrets that keep you from giving all of yourself to me the way that I have to you. I need to hear it all, sheila.

Sheila: I have with you. You already know. I shot finn and steffy.

Bill: Yes, I– I know that. Unburden yourself. You’ve– you’ve told me that you have done unimaginable things.

Ridge: Come on. Close it out, bill.

Bill: I know you’re haunted and I know what that feels like.

Sheila: There was… a doctor, jay garvin. He was a therapist that was treating me and he threatened me.

Ridge: Here we go.

Sheila: We, uh… had an argument.

You can’t tell him anything! And there was a scuffle on a balcony.

Jay: Sheila, get a hold

of yourself!

Get a hold of yourself!

Bill: What happened? You had enough? You pushed him over the balcony?

Jay: Calm down, now!

Sheila: Let go of me!

Jay: No!

Sheila: He grabbed me and I shook free of him, then he… he fell over the balcony and he died. His death, it was tragic, but I never– I never meant to kill him. He just… he just fell.

Ridge: What? What the hell?

Bill: So sorry you had to go through that. It sounds awful.

Sheila: Oh, shoot. This– I feel so much better. I’ve never told anybody this.

Bill: I’m glad. But, I know there’s more. Something, something from your past that you’ve been carrying around all these years. It’s okay. You can tell me.

Sheila: There was… lance day. And he threatened me too.

Ridge: Okay.

Bill: What happened?

Sheila: I found out he was deathly allergic to bees. I tried to talk sense into him. He gave me no choice though. I… I sent bees.

Lance: Ow.

Sheila: Into his bedroom when he was sleeping and he was stung over…

Lance: Let me out of here!

Sheila: And over…

Lance: Please help me!

Help me!

Sheila: And over again.

Lance: I can’t breathe!

Sheila: And…

Lance: Help me! Help me!

Sheila: I made sure he couldn’t get out of that room.

Lance: Call 9-1-1.

Sheila: And he…

what’s the matter?

You don’t feel well? He pleaded with me for help.

Lance: Help me.

Help me, please.

Sheila: I just watched him gasp for air.

Bill: What did you do?

Sheila: I stood there and I watched him die.

Bill: So, this lance, you intentionally killed him? It’s okay.

You’re safe here.

You can tell me.

Sheila: Yes.

Ridge: And she’s done, right? She’s done. That’s it. He did it!

Bill: You… you murdered lance day?

Sheila: Yes. Bill, I’m a murderer.

Bill: That’s so hot. You naughty, naughty girl. Say it again.

Sheila: I… am a murderer.
