Ridge and Taylor have a nice visit with Eric at his home. Eric catches up with Taylor, but then he’s called away for a meeting. Ridge and Taylor discuss Hope and Steffy and then have a warm chat. She confesses that she was in Monaco when he and Brooke were there for the Brooke’s Bedroom press thing. She claims she was there for a meeting and it made her miss her home with the kids, grandkids and him.

Steffy and Liam chat at her place. He’s picking up something for Kelly. He asks how she’s doing. She has the same flashback as Finn did yesterday, about his rescuing her from Luna’s cage. She says that none of it would have happened if Hope hadn’t kissed Finn. Liam doesn’t know what to make of Hope’s kissing Finn, but he doesn’t quite buy Steffy’s theory that she’s turning into Brooke, either. Liam is glad that Steffy was rescued.

Brooke visits Finn at his office (does he ever get anything done at work?). She tells him that Steffy threatened Hope, saying that if she even looks at Finn the wrong way, Steffy will kill Hope For The Future. She begs him to try to reason with Steffy. He doesn’t want to be in the middle between Steffy and Hope, but he doesn’t refuse.

Finn goes home, where Steffy is chatting with Liam. Liam thanks him again for saving Steffy, and he leaves. Finn and Steffy kiss. He tells her about Brooke’s visit. He assures her that he’s putting her and the kids first, so he doesn’t have to worry about Hope, Sheila or anyone else. They kiss and hug more.

RJ isn’t really sure how to deal with what he’s feeling. They talk about Luna a little. Finn notes that RJ is in a tough spot, being half-brother to both Hope and Steffy. They both hope that one day, Hope and Steffy can put their differences aside and realize they have a lot in common.

Finn goes to Il Giardino to pick up lunch for the nurses at his hospital. He runs into Hope, who’s there looking for Deacon. Hope is trying hard not to be too friendly. Finn is glad that Hope didn’t lose her line, but he’s wondering why she doesn’t seem overjoyed. She says that it’s best they don’t spend time together, and he knows it’s because of the kiss. He asks her why she did it. She says that she cares about him too much, and he replies that he cares about her, too (obviously, not in the same way). He hopes that someday she and Steffy can see how amazing they both are. He gets his food and leaves. She remembers the nice moments they had together in the past.
