Steffy: Thomas is engaged to Paris.

Hope: I’m fully aware.

Steffy: It didn’t look that way when I saw you two kissing.

Hope: Oh, you mean on the cheek just now?

Steffy: Right… right. Okay, well, Thomas is moving on with Paris, someone who is fully committed to him, who wants a future with him. So you need to leave Thomas alone and respect his wishes.

---

Paris: Look, I know this seems out of nowhere, but Thomas and I are really happy.

Ridge: You know what, and I love that, but I’m still trying to process you’re engaged.

Paris: Yeah.

Thomas: Hey, Dad.

Ridge: Hi. Oh, I missed you.

Thomas: Aw, I missed you too.

Ridge: Ahh… so all that… when you said that Paris was good to you, you didn’t mean the city.

Thomas: [laughing] Yeah, sorry, I would have told you sooner, but, uh, I don’t know, it just didn’t feel like the right time.

Ridge: The right time? The right time to tell your dad what’s going on in your life? I don’t– why would you keep this from me?

---

[birds tweeting]

Luna: You’re not hungry?

Poppy: I’m sorry, what, sweetheart?

Luna: Are you okay, Mom? You’ve been kind of off since the pizza guy showed up. Who was he?

Poppy: Luna.

Luna: No, I know, you told me not to worry about him.

Bill: Hey. What did I miss?

Poppy: Not much.

Bill: Well, I couldn’t help overhearing. Worried about who, Poppy? [bluesy guitar strumming]

Deacon: Hey, Tom, I hope the setup’s okay, I know it’s small, but once we get the place filled, it’ll be good.

Tom: Hey, Deacon, it’s better than an alley.

Deacon: [laughing] Yeah.

Hollis: Hey, I can’t wait to hear you play later.

Tom: It’s the one thing that’s always been natural to me. You know, music? It’s been a big part of my life, all of my life.

---

Bill: So what’s going on?

Poppy: Nothing. A pizza delivery guy came to the house, and I wasn’t expecting him, but like I told Luna, there’s nothing to worry about.

Bill: Well, what do you mean you weren’t expecting him? Did you order a pizza?

Poppy: No.

Bill: So some guy was able just to walk past security?

Luna: They must have thought that we put in an order.

Bill: That’s not good enough. They have a list of family and friends who can come and go. Some random guy shouldn’t be able just to walk up to our front door. I’m gonna deal with security.

Poppy: I don’t want to make this more than it is.

Bill: You’re not. I’m very protective of my family, and make no mistake, you’re my family.

---

[guitar strumming] [guitar strumming continues]

Deacon: Man, Tom, I’m blown away, the patrons, they are gonna be in for such a treat.

Tom: The pleasure’s all mine. Listen, I appreciate the opportunity. It’s been a while since I’ve been up on a stage.

Hollis: Oh, cool, so you have performed before.

Tom: Oh yeah, yeah, in bars, in county fairs, and festivals. Music’s in my blood.

---

Ridge: Listen, I’m not putting you on the spot. You’re an adult, now you can do whatever you want, but I just didn’t know… why you wouldn’t tell me. Things are okay between us, right? I thought you could come to me with anything.

Thomas: And I know that I can, Dad.

Ridge: Well, but you didn’t. You told Steffy, you didn’t tell me, why?

Thomas: Okay, look, I, um… I’ve messed up with relationships in the past. And you’ve been a witness to that, and I– I guess I– I just wanted to be 100% sure about this before I told you. And I am, Dad.

---

Hope: There are bigger issues here than just Thomas and me. I get that you are looking out for your brother, Steffy, but so am I.

Steffy: Really?

Hope: It doesn’t… it doesn’t worry you that he proposed to me not that long ago and now he shows up out of nowhere engaged to Paris? I mean, come on, Steffy, be honest, I mean, that doesn’t concern you?

---

We polished it off.

Luna: Wow, I usually don’t really like pizza, but that was really good. Sorry you didn’t have any, Mom.

Bill: Hey, I gotta say, you know, I didn’t think there’s anything that Sharp could get right, but he makes a hell of a pizza. [phone chime] Um, sorry, guys, I just need a couple of minutes, it’s Liam, and it’s about a big acquisition we’re working on. I’ll be right back.

Luna: “Live Music With Tom Starr.” Hey, this is tonight at Il Giardino. We should go, you know, listen to some music, eat more pizza. That would be fun, right?

---

Hollis: Man, that must have been such a rush, Tom, performing onstage?

Tom: Oh, yeah, most definitely. You know, in the dark ages, before the internet, I had quite the following.

Deacon: Really?

Tom: Oh, yeah. You know what, I went up and down the coast a couple of times, and then I did a little recording, I got some radio play.

Deacon: No kidding.

Hollis: No way. Do we know the song?

Tom: Well, maybe. Maybe not. You’ll have to listen and find out for yourself.

---

Paris: Well, I can tell you guys have a lot to catch up on, so I’m gonna go catch up with Douglas and get him some food.

Thomas: All right, I’ll call you when I’m heading home.

Paris: Okay.

Thomas: All right. Surprise.

Ridge: Yeah. Surprise. Well… Douglas likes her. They’re sweet together.

Thomas: Oh, yeah, he really does, and she’s great with him. It goes both ways.

Ridge: Yeah. And you, my boy.

Thomas: Hmm?

Ridge: Wow, you guys seem good together, it’s, um… some nice things to say about you.

Thomas: Oh, yeah? Really?

Ridge: Yeah. I like her, I’ve… everyone in the building likes her.

Thomas: Yeah, she’s a great person.

Ridge: She is. And that’s– that’s perfect. You found love, it’s, um…

Thomas: Why do I feel like there’s a “but” coming?

Ridge: But you’re engaged now. I don’t… [sighing] …if you’re happy, I’m happy. But why– why do you need to get married after everything you’ve been through, after everything you went through with Hope?

Thomas: [sighing]

---

Hope: I am concerned about you trying to get into my brother’s head.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh, can you put your issues with me aside for just one moment and try to be realistic? Your brother proposed to me not that long ago.

Hope: Okay, how many times did you turn him down?

Steffy: And that was because I wasn’t ready to be married again, Steffy, not because I didn’t want to be with him. All I am saying is this feels rushed. Him trying to create this life with Paris so soon after everything, it just– it feels reactionary. Can you honestly say that you don’t agree?

---

Luna: Come on, Mom, nothing beats live music, let’s go see this Tom Star guy.

Poppy: [sighing]

Bill: Sorry about that.

Luna: Hey, Dad, do you sing?

Bill: Do I sing? Oh, yeah. Like a lark, I have an incredible vocal gift. In fact, every dog in LA howls right along with me when I sing.

Luna: [laughing]

Poppy: This is so nice here, just the three of us at home. I think we should stay here and listen to your father’s very bad singing.

Bill: Eh…

Luna: It’s crazy how effortless us being a family feels.

Bill: The feeling is mutual.

Luna: Hey, Mom? Don’t take this the wrong way, okay, I’m not upset with you at all, I’m just curious. Um… I know you said that you were protecting me in your heart, and that’s why you didn’t tell me that Bill was my father all these years, but… is that really the only reason?

---

Hollis: So Tom, my guy, you gotta tell me, what was it like being a rock star?

Tom: Oh, no-no-no-no, not a rock star, but it was pretty cool. You know? Stepping onstage, and seeing that audience start to sway back and forth. That’s when you realize you got ’em in the palm of your hand.

Hollis: Mm, man, that must have been great both on and off the stage, if you catch my drift. I got one word for ya, groupies.

Tom: Well, I’d be lying to say the girls weren’t crazy about me. I mean, I know I might not look like it, but it’s true. You know, but that was a long time ago. Another lifetime.

Deacon: Well, maybe you can rekindle a little of that magic when you play later, who knows, get a taste of the past.

---

Thomas: Okay, I never would have proposed to Paris if I wasn’t ready to commit to her.

Ridge: Why so fast?

Thomas: Feels right.

Ridge: Feels right, but why so fast? Explain that to me, what’s the rush?

Thomas: Okay, look, she’s beautiful, she’s talented, she is an incredible person. She has always gotten along well with Douglas, and… I don’t know, it’s always been that way, I– you may not remember this, but there was a time when we lived together, and even then, there was this spark.

Ridge: Spark?

Thomas: Yes.

Ridge: Spark and “Let’s get married,” those are two different things.

Thomas: I understand that, but… all right, look… when I got to France, I was destroyed. And, yeah, having Douglas, that helped, but it really was Paris that helped me and pulled me out of that, and… I love her, Dad.

Ridge: Do you? She gave you strength. She gave you solace.

Thomas: Yes.

Ridge: But do you love her, or is this just something you need to… shut down your feelings for Hope?

---

Hope: Be real with me, Steffy, I mean, what do you think of Thomas’s engagement?

Steffy: I think he’s a grown man who can make his own decisions.

Hope: Okay, well, that really wasn’t answering the question. You care about Thomas’s happiness, right? So… so then how can his… falling in love and proposing to Paris so quickly not worry you?

Steffy: I don’t know, I think sometimes you take years to find someone you love, and sometimes it just happens automatically.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, why do I even bother?

Steffy: I have no idea, because I can see right through you. You’re pretending to care about Thomas when you really just care about yourself.

Hope: That is not true.

Steffy: Really? Thomas came here, and he told you he’s engaged, and instead of respecting that, you want Thomas to still be in love with you, and that’s really sad.

---

[birds tweeting]

Bill: I understand what you’re feeling, Luna, but your mother had her reasons, and, you know, you said it yourself, she was protecting you.

Luna: Yeah, but that’s what doesn’t make sense to me, I mean, why would I need to be protected from you? You’re Bill Spencer. Your whole life is documented online, right, so it’s not like we’re going in blind.

Poppy: Luna, you’re right. I should have opened up sooner, and I– I just feel incredibly guilty.

Luna: No, Mom, I’m not bringing this up to make you feel bad, I’m just trying to understand why you didn’t tell me that this… wonderful man is my father. Is there another reason why you didn’t tell me the truth?

---

Tom: [sighing]

---

Thomas: Do you really think that I would use Paris to get over hope?

Ridge: No, I don’t. Not intentionally. But you told me you were hurt. You’re vulnerable, and maybe… having Paris by your side made that thing that happened with Hope hurt a little less. It’s a terrible reason to marry somebody.

Thomas: Yes, and I agree with you, if that was the reason, but that’s not the reason, Dad. I… I finally let go of Hope, and that’s when I saw this beautiful, incredible, wonderful person standing right in front of me. Paris. And I don’t know, maybe it was… being with Hope is what kept my blinders on, letting go of her, and I finally saw Paris.

Ridge: You can see my concern, right?

Thomas: Yes, I do understand your concern, and I appreciate it. Look, I always told Hope I was a one-woman man. But in actuality she couldn’t commit to me the way that I could with her, so I had to respect that and let her go. And… maybe this was just all meant to be. Exactly how it unfolded. Getting hurt is what led me to fly off to Paris, and… maybe I was supposed to be at Forrester International at that right time so that, when I let go, I saw Paris. Right in front of me. This beautiful, wonderful woman. Has this amazing relationship with my son, and… [sighing] …look, Dad… …Paris is the woman that I want to be with. And I’m gonna marry her.

---

Steffy: You are wild.

Hope: Regardless of how I feel about Thomas… I told him that if it was his decision, I would respect it.

Steffy: But then you kissed Thomas.

Hope: You’re making a big deal out of a kiss on the cheek between two people who loved each other, who share a son, who, by the way, I still care for, Steffy, my feelings for him haven’t changed, although I don’t feel the need to explain that to you.

Steffy: Yeah, typical.

Hope: You know, I’m not the one you should be worried about right now. Dating is one thing, fine. But marriage? A family? I mean, have– have you even thought about how this might impact Douglas? Have you thought about your nephew at all?

Steffy: Of course I thought about that, Hope.

Hope: Oh, so… so you knew about Thomas and Paris this entire time? And you didn’t say anything.

Steffy: It wasn’t my business to tell.

Hope: [gasping] Oh, my gosh, I bet you have just been… been encouraging this, haven’t you? You were just trying to put them together.

Steffy: She makes him happy. Of course I’m gonna defend my brother, he is my brother. So, yeah, I knew Thomas and Paris were together. I did not know that they were engaged. That is news to me.

Hope: Well, I am sure that you are thrilled.

Steffy: I am. He’s finally with someone who truly loves him and appreciates him.

Hope: And you’re sure that woman is Paris.

Steffy: At least she’s not wearing his engagement ring around her neck as a necklace, my God.

Hope: You think I’m delusional? Steffy, you’re the one tricking yourself into believing that sham of a relationship. You only care because you want your brother with anyone but me. And that… is what this is all about. Isn’t it, Steffy?

[ relaxing music ]

Hope: I know you remember how good we were together. How we made each other feel things that we had never felt before or since, and that is what makes it so difficult to understand.

Thomas: What?

Hope: You and Paris. Not that you’re dating, but that you asked her to marry you. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago you were proposing to me.

Thomas: You said no, twice. You have to know what that did to me.

Hope: Yes. And I am sorry that I hurt you, Thomas. I wish I could do things differently. Maybe if I had, you wouldn’t have left me.

Thomas: No. Look, look, I– Hope, I couldn’t stay. For all the reasons you already know. I had to move on.

Hope: Oh, so fast? So soon? To Paris Buckingham? Don’t do it, Thomas. Don’t marry her.

---

Paris: I realize this is the last thing you guys were expecting to hear.

Ridge: Yeah, probably because I didn’t know that you were dating. Something that his sister kept from me.

Steffy: I wasn’t keeping it from you. I wanted Thomas to tell you himself. And now, everything’s out in the open.

Ridge: It’s out in the open. You’re engaged.

Paris: I’m– I’m sorry. I’m sorry. This is not the way we wanted to break the news. We wanted to do it together, but then Douglas–

Steffy: Douglas had another idea.

Paris: Yeah, he’s excited, and I just hope the two of you can be too.

Ridge: That’s not– Yeah, of course, yes, we’re– Yes. That’s not the issue. The issue is, my son went to France because he… He had his heart broken.

Steffy: Yeah, by Hope.

Ridge: And he wanted to recover and refocus his life.

Paris: Well, he has, Ridge. Your son’s time away has changed him. Hope’s his past. I’m his future. And I’m confident in Thomas’ love and commitment to me.

Steffy: I hope you’re right.

---

Deacon: She’s got a daughter named Luna who works over at Forrester, and apparently, Bill just found out that he’s her father.

Poppy: Oh!

Tom: Oh. Oh, I’m sorry.

Poppy: Oh, those happen.

Tom: Oh. [ Tom sighing ]

Tom: Bill Spencer, Bill Spencer. Okay, okay, there.

Deacon: Hey, Tom, check it out. Your name in print. What do you think? I gotta tell you, I am so excited to hear you strum the guitar. How do you feel? You, you pumped? You– A little stage fright?

Tom: Listen, Deacon, I can’t thank you enough. I mean, just to get up on stage.

Deacon: Hey, come on. Are you kidding me? Tom Starr’s comeback tour? I mean, in my place? I– I’m honored. Besides, it’s good publicity.

Tom: Well, listen, I don’t know how many of the old fans are going to be coming out of the woodwork, but, uh, listen, back in the day, it was a blast.

Deacon: And it will be again, all right? Listen, I gotta find Hollis, get him to circulate these, get the stage all set up. You just let me know when you want to cut out and get prepped, okay?

Tom: Oh, I will.

Deacon: All right.

---

Luna: Okay. Okay, bye.

Poppy: Well, someone’s happy.

Luna: Oh, it’s Dad. Checking in for the third time this past hour.

Poppy: Well, he’s never had a daughter before. This is a whole new world for him.

Luna: Yeah, well, this is a whole new world for me, too. Having a dad like Bill Spencer.

---

Sheila: Hey. So, hydrating for the big night?

Tom: Well, I’m not really into rituals. I always liked to drink before.

Sheila: Yeah, loosens you up.

Tom: Oh, no. No, no, no. No booze. No. I mean, I used to party hard back in the day, but, no, no, it’s just simply a sports drink. Ice blue.

Sheila: Yeah, second chances, right? I– But we all deserve those, don’t we?

---

Thomas: You know, I gotta admit, I wish you had been this passionate about us before I left for France.

Hope: I was passionate about our future together, Thomas. It was never about that. Or how much I loved you.

Thomas: And I loved you, too. And I kept telling myself that if I kept proposing, one day you would say yes, and you would make me the happiest man in the world, but I was wrong. You didn’t, so I had to go.

Hope: I wish you hadn’t. Everything could be different right now. But I guess I understand. What I don’t understand, though, is this complete 180 that you have taken. I mean, what your life looks like now, with Paris at the center of it. Douglas calling her “mom” in such a short amount of time. How does that happen, Thomas? Tell me. It is too fast. And you know it.

---

Sheila: Yeah, I– I’ve made mistakes in my past, which you apparently have already looked into. But who hasn’t, right? I mean, who’s perfect? But one thing I do know, I do know that we are all capable of change.

Tom: Well, that’s for sure. I’ve– I’ve led many lives over the years.

Sheila: Yeah, but, well, one– one most recently was helping to save my life. I mean, it was because of you. You led Deacon and Finn to that warehouse, and I will be forever thankful to you, Tom. But I– I choose to see you as the person you are right now, not the– the other one that you keep hinting at, and I– I really hope that you can do the same for me. I just don’t want you trudging up my past to my husband.

Deacon: All right, I got the PA system out of storage, and you, my man, are looking good for your show tonight.

Tom: You know, I was just living on the streets. I wasn’t sure where my next meal was coming from. And now, I’m here. You know, I’m gearing up for my first show in years. I– I can’t thank you enough, Deacon, both of you.

Deacon: Hey, Tom, I can never thank you for helping me save Sheila’s life.

Tom: You’re helping me save mine. And more than you could possibly know. Well, hey, listen, enough of this sappiness. I– I gotta go to the kitchen. I– I think I got a couple more deliveries before the show.

Paris: Um, well, it feels like I need to say this, but it’s probably on your minds, but you’re just too polite to bring it up. It’s no secret the horrible things my father’s done to you, Steffy, to Liam, to Hope, to your families.

Ridge: No one is blaming you for what your dad did.

Steffy: Yeah, or– or Zoe, or how Thomas got caught up in it.

Paris: Which, you have to know, is something that he’ll always regret.

Ridge: Yeah, we know he worked very hard to put his life back on track.

Steffy: Yeah, we see it now. Or you wouldn’t be wearing Thomas’ ring.

Paris: True. Though I have to admit, I was a little cautious at first. Thomas was in an emotional tailspin, reeling over what had just happened with Hope, but I’d been at a similar point in my life, you know, loving someone who ultimately couldn’t commit. I swore I’d never let that happen again. I promised myself I’d protect my heart at all costs, but I didn’t need to worry. Because Thomas was there, protecting it for me.

---

Thomas: I– Look, I hear what you’re saying, Hope. You’re concerned.

Hope: Oh, so you get why I’m wondering if you’ve really thought this through.

Thomas: You think I proposed to Paris on the rebound?

Hope: I don’t know. You tell me, given that you proposed to me not too long ago.

Thomas: Okay, look, I– I went off to Paris to get past what had happened between us. And Paris was already there, living her life. And we reconnected and–

Hope: And fell in love. So deeply within that short amount of time.

Thomas: You’re obviously having a problem with this, and I understand why. But I am not getting any younger. I want another child. I want a family.

Hope: With Paris. So, she is your future now?

---

Poppy: This is such an exciting time for you, my beautiful baby girl.

Luna: For you too, Mom. You know, you’re finally back with the man that you loved and lost all those years ago.

Poppy: It truly is a miracle the way things worked out. [ phone rings ]

Luna: Oh, it’s RJ. I’m gonna go take it.

Poppy: Tell him I said hi. [ doorbell rings ]

Tom: Pizza delivery, Poppy.

Poppy: Tom? What are you doing here?

---

Deacon: Tom still isn’t back.

Sheila: No, why?

Deacon: I just thought maybe he’d want to do a sound check.

Sheila: Oh, look at you.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Not only one of the top restaurateurs in all of Los Angeles, but here comes your nightclub experience, hard at work.

Deacon: You know, when I found out Tom was in a band and used to play the circuit, I just, you know, thought it’d be some good buzz for the place. Do owe him a lot. Babe, if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have found you. You know, he’s down on his luck.

Sheila: Uh-huh. Which is why you gave him a job here.

Deacon: I think it was the least I could do. I’m just glad it worked out.

Sheila: Yeah, so far. I mean, there really is so much that we still don’t know about him. Tom, well, I mean, is still somewhat of a mystery, don’t you think?

---

Poppy: How did you know where I live?

Tom: Saw you at Il Giardino’s. I thought I should stop by. I got your name in the delivery system. Nice digs. Free pizza.

Poppy: I don’t know what you’re doing here, but you need to leave.

Tom: Oh, don’t play games with me, Poppy.

Poppy: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Tom: Oh, I think you do. I think you know exactly what I’m talking about.

---

Ridge: It wasn’t that long ago that my son wanted to spend his life with Hope. Marry her, and raise Douglas together.

Paris: You think I’m deluding myself. Living in a fool’s paradise. I assure you, I’m not. Thomas and I have had long, deep, intense conversations. We’ve opened ourselves up to each other. We’ve connected like never before. He’s been honest with me. Will Hope and Thomas always care for each other? Yes. Will there always be history there? Yes. But now, Thomas can see a future where he’s happy with someone other than Hope.

Steffy: With you.

Paris: Yeah. Your brother has been very transparent with me, Steffy. And I trust him. Even around Hope.

Thomas: Look, I watched my sister finally break out of those unhealthy patterns. The toxic patterns she had with Liam. And she moved on. Into a better relationship. Now, she’s with Finn, and she’s happy, right? Don’t you want that for me?

Hope: Thomas, I want you to be happy and this is–

Thomas: Okay, and Paris? Paris makes me happy. Do we both have baggage? Absolutely. We have things we have to work on, but I would not have proposed to her if I didn’t think we could make a go of it. Paris is who I’m gonna spend the rest of my le with. She’s gonna be my wife.

---

Deacon: Do you think Tom has secrets?

Sheila: I mean, doesn’t everyone?

Poppy: This is my home. I didn’t invite you here. If you don’t leave right now, I’m gonna call security.

Tom: Come on, relax. I don’t want to cause any trouble. I’m just delivering a pizza.

Poppy: A pizza that I didn’t order.

Tom: It’s a freebie. And it’s your favorite.

Poppy: Okay, fine. I ask you to leave, and you leave me no choice.

Tom: Hey, wait, wa– hold on. Hold on. You’re overreacting. I come in peace. I haven’t forgotten about you. And I know you haven’t forgotten about me.

Poppy: For the last time, you need to leave now.

Luna: Mom? What’s going on? Who are you?

Poppy: No one. He’s just, uh, delivering a pizza. The gates will open on your way out.

---

Paris: Look, Thomas and I are on the same page. We want a family. A wonderful, full life, and we’re excited to make that happen. For us and for Douglas.

Ridge: And I’m happy to hear that, but we– some–

Steffy: We’re going to be somewhat cautious.

Paris: Of course. Marriage is a big step. Especially when there’s a little boy to consider. But I will make the Forrester family proud, Ridge. You won’t be disappointed in me. As a daughter-in-law, or as a sister-in-law.

Steffy: Hope put Thomas through hell. I’m really grateful you’re in his life now.

---

Thomas: Look, I am not trying to hurt you, Hope. You will always be important to me, but our time has passed. And yes, we will continue to co-parent our little boy together. As much as Douglas loves you, he also loves Paris, too. And the three of us, we’re creating our own little family. And soon, Paris and I will be married, and it will be official.

Hope: Okay. If that is your decision, I guess I will have to accept it. Please know, Thomas, I… I will always want what’s best for you. And in spite of everything that has happened between us, I… I’ll always love you.

Steffy: Hoo-wee! That kiss just now. Did you really think that’s all it would take and Thomas would come running back to you?

Hope: Steffy, could you please leave me alone? I am in no mood.

Steffy: Oh, I know that. Thomas ended it with you. He wants nothing to do with you, so you need to respect that. Respect Thomas’ decision. Don’t even think about getting into his head. Because remember, he proposed to you twice. And you turned him down. So, don’t even think about hurting or disappointing my brother again.

[ relaxed music ]

Hope: So, you and Paris are… what?

Thomas: I was trying to tell you, Hope.

Douglas: Did I say something wrong, Dad?

Thomas: No, bud, you didn’t say anything wrong.

Hope: So, you came back because you’re engaged. To Paris Buckingham.

Thomas: I proposed and she accepted. We’re getting married.

---

Steffy: Hope’s optimism is commendable, but it isn’t realistic.

Ridge: Hope For the Future’s in transition. I’m sure they’re gonna bounce back.

Steffy: I’m not going to fight you on it this time.

Ridge: I’m so glad to hear it. Thank you.

Steffy: I admit, at its peak, Hope for the Future, it was a very innovative and creative line.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Can be again.

Steffy: You say give it more time. Fine. And I’m sure our newest executive member feels the same way, so we will.

Ridge: Hope and her line deserve that.

Steffy: Okay, we’re giving her another quarter to prove herself, but let’s be honest. RJ and Zende, they are great designers. They are. They’re doing their best. But Hope for the Future? It hasn’t been the same since Thomas left.

---

Ridge: You’re right.

Steffy: I’m right?

Ridge: Yes. Hope for the Future’s not the same now that Thomas is gone.

Steffy: Thank you.

Ridge: But that doesn’t mean it can’t be great again because Zende, RJ, they’re very talented. And Zende’s experience, that’s the key here.

Steffy: Okay, but he’s not in charge. Hope is. And her judgment lately has been a little bit iffy.

Ridge: Okay, you’re right about that too. Inviting Sheila back into her life, it– it’s just disappointing.

Steffy: Completely irrational? Let’s face it, Hope for the Future isn’t the only thing that hasn’t been the same lately. Hope is losing it. She’s been completely off the rails and I keep thinking she’s going to try to pull herself together, but she hasn’t. Ever since Thomas made the wise decision to take Douglas and leave for Paris.

---

Thomas: You’re shocked.

Paris: Well, we did keep things kind of private.

Thomas: Yeah, to give it time.

Hope: When? How?

Paris: Well, as you know, I’ve been working at International. I was already there when Thomas moved.

Thomas: Yeah. We started hanging out, grabbed a few meals together. Douglas, too.

Douglas: Paris took me to see some really cool art.

Paris: And you took me to your favorite pastry shop.

Hope: And where were you?

Thomas: Well, somebody had to carry the prints and all the bakery boxes, so.

Douglas: It’s okay, Mom. You don’t have to worry. I know Dad. He really loves Paris. This is for real.

Paris: Hey, Douglas. How about we give your dad and Hope some time alone?

Douglas: Yeah. I haven’t seen Grandpa and Aunt Steffy yet. I’ll see you later. I’ve missed you a lot.

Hope: Me too. Wow.

Thomas: I was going to tell you on my own.

Hope: Just no warning. You just come back to announce your engagement?

Thomas: Didn’t seem like news to reveal over the phone. [ Hope scoffing ]

Hope: Oh. Oh, wow. How could I have been so wrong? How could I have misread that? You– you came into the office, Douglas ran into my arms. I was so happy for a minute. I thought, “They’re home. It’s– Everything is going to be okay. I don’t have to worry anymore.” I really thought you came back to… To restart our life together, Thomas.

---

Steffy: Hope never understood how badly she could hurt Thomas.

Ridge: I’m sure that wasn’t her intention.

Steffy: Her intention was to never marry Thomas. And– and she knew that from the start.

Ridge: I think the two of them saw that differently.

Steffy: Well, who was right? And now, Hope resents me for it.

Ridge: You– you guys are at each other for all kinds of stuff lately.

Steffy: I think I’ve moved on.

Ridge: I think we all want to.

Steffy: I know Thomas has.

Ridge: Yeah, it does seem that way.

Steffy: But Hope hasn’t. She thinks I’m the reason Douglas and Thomas left for Paris, but that is not true. It’s her fault. And Thomas understands that. Like, I talk to him and he says that I’m right.

Ridge: You talk to him?

Steffy: Yeah, I do. I talk to him a lot. We chat on video calls and Douglas chats with his cousins. It’s really cute.

Ridge: I miss those guys so much.

Steffy: I know. I really miss them.

Ridge: But, you gotta remember that they’re where they need to be. Paris has been really good to them.

Steffy: Yeah, you can say that again.

Douglas: Grandpa! [ Steffy gasping ]

Ridge: What? Wait, what are you–

Steffy: Honey! Oh, my God.

Ridge: What are you doing here?

Steffy: Get over here! What– Wait, what are you doing here?

Douglas: Visiting you.

Steffy: Are– We– This is crazy. We were just talking about– We were talking about you and how much we miss you.

Douglas: I miss you too.

Ridge: I talked to your dad the other day. He didn’t tell me anything about you coming over here.

Douglas: We wanted to surprise you.

Ridge: Well, this is a–

Steffy and Ridge: Surprise!

Ridge: Biggest surprise ever.

Steffy: Wait, so wait, it’s– it’s– it’s you and your father? You’re here?

Douglas: Not just us. His fiancée’s here, too.

Ridge: His what? His– his fiancée?

Steffy: What? They’re engaged?

Ridge: Wait, so he’s been seeing somebody? Who?

Paris: Me.

Steffy: Paris! Oh, my God.

Paris: Hi, Steffy! It’s been a while.

Steffy: Yeah, I guess I don’t have to ask you how things are going with Thomas.

Paris: Pretty well, I’d say.

Ridge: You knew about this?

Steffy: Well, I knew Paris and Thomas were dating, but I didn’t realize that they’re engaged. Oh, my God!

---

Thomas: This is why I wanted to tell you in person. So I could explain.

Hope: Well, I — I didn’t even know that you were dating and now you’re engaged to Paris?

Thomas: Look, Douglas didn’t mean to spring that on you. He just got excited.

Hope: He called Paris “mom.”

Thomas: Well, we’re gonna be married, so…

Hope: Why are you doing this?

Thomas: I’m doing this because Paris is an incredible woman. She’s ambitious and creative and loving.

Hope: And does she care at all that you were engaged to her sister once upon a time? And that, oh yeah, you proposed to me not too long ago.

Thomas: She knows all that. And she also knows why I had to leave L.A.

Hope: Yeah, because of your feelings for me.

Thomas: And my need to move past them.

Hope: So, this is how you do it? Marrying someone else so quickly? Thomas, that is not how it works.

Thomas: You know what doesn’t work? Being in love with someone and asking them to marry you over and over again, and them saying no. That doesn’t work. I had to take that dream and give it away.

Hope: There are other ways to be committed, Thomas.

Thomas: Yes, there are, but Paris wants to be my wife.

Hope: Gosh, of course, she does. Look at all you have to offer, Thomas. Any woman would be lucky enough to… And I… just wasn’t ready.

Thomas: I know. And a part of me is always gonna love you, Hope. But I had to move on. You gave me no choice.

---

Douglas: I gave it away again.

Paris: No, Douglas, it’s okay. You’re excited. We are too.

Douglas: But Dad wanted to tell everyone together.

Ridge: Well, I’m just glad somebody’s telling me something. So, you’re engaged?

Paris: You’re surprised.

Ridge: Yeah, I’m surprised. I didn’t know you were dating.

Douglas: Dad’s happy. For real. And I am too. Paris is great. Dad loves her a lot.

Paris: And I love you both more than I can say. Hey, remember you said you were gonna say hello to Charlie after you said hello to your family?

Steffy: Oh, he’s probably in his office.

Paris: Yeah, that’ll give me a chance to talk to your aunt and grandpa.

Douglas: I’m so glad to be home.

Ridge: Me too. Keep an eye on Charlie, okay?

Douglas: Okay.

Ridge: Bye. Wow.

Paris: Well, I’m sure you guys have a lot of questions.

Steffy: Yes.

Ridge: That’s an understatement.

Steffy: Dad, it wasn’t my place to say anything.

Ridge: So, you knew about this engagement?

Steffy: No, no. I knew that Thomas and Paris were a couple. I didn’t know about the engagement.

Paris: Like Douglas said, Thomas wanted to tell you all in person.

Ridge: How long have you guys been dating?

Paris: We reconnected shortly after Douglas and Thomas moved to Paris and we’ve been together ever since.

Ridge: I– I saw him over there. He didn’t mention anything about any of this.

Paris: Yeah, well, he wanted to enjoy his time with you. He wasn’t sure how you’d react after, you know, knowing how fast things have been going. Especially after leaving Hope. But Thomas and I, we bonded over our commitment to improving ourselves, and the world as much as we can. I dedicated my life to non-profit work, expanding the Forrester Foundation globally, and Thomas, he’s focusing on being the best designer and father to Douglas. Thomas’ first few weeks in Paris were a little sad and lonely. He didn’t have that spark I remembered. Except for when he was with Douglas. At first, I was just trying to cheer them up.

Ridge: Well, I appreciate that.

Paris: Yeah, I couldn’t let your son go through another dark chapter in his life. He’s gone through a lot worse than a little rejection. And I saw how strong he was. And how– how beautiful he is and I knew he could depend on me. And over time, we just formed this bond. This profound connection. I love Thomas. And I know he really loves me.

Hope: I know I hurt you and I know I let you down. And I am sorry, Thomas. But that didn’t mean that I stopped loving you. That didn’t mean that I wanted you to leave.

Thomas: I had to leave.

Hope: No, you didn’t. You didn’t. You ran. You could have stayed. You could have worked it out.

Thomas: You said no. You didn’t want to marry me.

Hope: You know that I needed time. And now, you– You’re already engaged?

Thomas: And it’s not just some random person. This is someone I’ve known for a long time.

Hope: So what, have you… Have you just forgotten everything that we shared?

Thomas: No, Hope. I haven’t forgotten anything. You’ve been there for me, you inspired me, you encouraged me and I’m so grateful for that. I am never going to forget what we had.

Hope: Then, how can you move on so quickly with someone else like we were nothing?

Thomas: Paris and I have something special, too.

Hope: Oh, gosh, I– I want– I want to be happy for you. Really, I do, but this is just, this is–

Thomas: Yeah, well, Hope, I’m not asking for that. I just needed you to know. Hope, it’s gonna be okay.

Hope: You were my constant. You were like my– my north star. When my life was upside down and unstable, I knew that I could look to you for reassurance. I mean, you were– you were steadfast. Your commitment, your love, your devotion. I mean… a one-woman man. And you still are, aren’t you? Only that woman isn’t me anymore, is it? Paris? Are you sure you love her?

---

Paris: Oh, you’re not sure what to say.

Ridge: It’s a lot to digest.

Steffy: Totally caught off guard, but Thomas raves about you. He’s never once mentioned marriage, like–

Paris: He wanted to tell you himself. Announce it together.

Steffy: Where is he now?

Paris: With Hope.

Steffy: Hope. Hope. Okay.

Paris: Yeah, Douglas was super excited to see her, so he rushed into the office and we were right there behind him.

Steffy: You were with Thomas?

Paris: Yeah.

Ridge: Oh. So, she saw you. She knows?

Paris: Well, it’s kind of hard to ignore this generous engagement ring.

Steffy: I mean, this is absolutely beautiful.

Paris: Thank you.

Ridge: It’s quite a statement.

Steffy: So, how did, uh, Hope take it? It must have been a shock for her.

Paris: Yeah, that’s why I brought Douglas in here. Just to give Thomas and Hope a chance to talk.

Steffy: Oh, oh– okay. Do you think that’s wise, given their history? No, look, I– I know Thomas moved on, but Hope? I don’t know. I don’t know if she’s ready to let go of him.

Paris: Well, in the past, I might have been concerned about that. Maybe even a little insecure. But not anymore. I believe in Thomas’ love for me. That’s why I agreed to marry him. Because I’m certain he’s finally over Hope.

---

Hope: Tell me, Thomas. Say the words. Do you really love Paris?

Thomas: I asked her to marry me.

Hope: Still didn’t answer my question–

Thomas: Yes, I did, Hope. I hate seeing you this upset. [ Hope scoffing ]

Hope: What did you expect?

Thomas: I asked you to marry me twice and you turned me down.

Hope: And then you went and proposed to someone else.

Thomas: Yeah, well sometimes you gotta ask the question a few times before you get the answer you want.

Hope: From Paris. Thomas, I know you said that you share something special. You know it will never even be close to what we share. What we had was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before and I know that you feel the same. Those first moments together in Rome. The– the high of the fashion show. Our kiss in front of the Coliseum. The– the sparks. The connection. It wasn’t just a temporary thing, Thomas. It wasn’t just passion or desire. It was real. We created something beautiful. Something deep. Something true. A man has never moved me the way that you do. And I know you feel that way too. There’s still– there’s still so much potential for us, Thomas. This– this doesn’t have to be the way at all. It all happens to be. I– You remember, everyone was trying to break us apart. Steffy, your mother, they couldn’t break our connection. They can’t break what we share. There’s still so much future ahead for us if we just want it. You can choose a different path. We can still have it all. You don’t have to marry Paris, Thomas. Please, don’t go through with this.

Hope: Oh, Douglas, this is– this is the best surprise ever. Look at you. Look at you, my sweet boy. Oh! Oh, I’m so happy to see you.

Douglas: Me too.

Hope: You came home.

---

Sheila: Now, don’t believe everything you hear on the internet.

Tom: I will not make that mistake again.

Sheila: Deacon was kind enough to give you a job here and this is how you show your gratitude? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a job in a restaurant like this?

Tom: God, are you telling me? This place is killer. Oh, wait. I– No, no, I’m– I’m very grateful.

Sheila: Yep. Then, start showing it. No more spills.

Poppy: This place will always have a piece of my heart.

Bill: Where we ran into each other some 20-plus years later?

Poppy: It’s crazy how fate works. [ Bill chuckling ]

Bill: There she is.

Poppy: Hi, perfect timing.

Luna: Hi, sorry I’m late.

Poppy: We’re so happy that you could join us.

Bill: We certainly are.

Luna: Hi, Dad.

Bill: How’s my beautiful daughter?

---

Bill: Will you look at that, my brand-new daughter and she doesn’t even need a high chair.

Luna: Oh, yeah, you missed out on that stage. My mom said I was a really bossy toddler.

Bill: Oh, definitely my kid.

Poppy: Yes, she was always quite a determined little girl.

Bill: Still is.

Poppy: Luna is the best of both of us, Bill.

Bill: Yes, she is. You raised a phenomenal young woman, Poppy.

Poppy: We’ve all waited a long time for a moment like this. Just out together, enjoying a meal as a family. Now there, that is what it’s all about. I mean, the way you two look at each other, already so connected and thrilled to be in each other’s lives. It’s a dream come true for me. It really is.

Luna: For all of us.

Poppy: We finally get to be a family.

---

Hope: So, you just got in from Paris?

Douglas: Yep, we came straight from the airport.

Thomas: Yeah, Douglas couldn’t wait to see you.

Hope: Well, I– This is amazing. I had no idea that you were coming back to Los Angeles.

Douglas: I wanted to surprise you.

Thomas: His idea.

Hope: Well, you certainly accomplished that. I mean, you made my whole day, my whole month, my whole year. Oh, Douglas, I hope you know how much I love you and just how much I’ve missed you.

Douglas: I missed you.

Hope: And, uh, you’ve been missed too, Thomas.

---

Tom: Listen, I– I don’t want any trouble. I know better than to go toe to toe with a strong woman like you.

Sheila: I don’t want any drama.

Tom: No, let– let me make this up to ya. We– we can forget about all this. Listen, I am just here to do a job. I’m a hard worker, and– and I will do it well.

Sheila: I hope so.

Tom: I tend to– to win people over. It’s what I do.

Sheila: Okay, I– I do hope so, Tom and… I really appreciate you saving my life.

Tom: Oh, I’m– I’m really glad I did. Listen, we’re all part of the Il Giardino family.

Sheila: Yeah.

Tom: I want, you know, me and you to get along.

Sheila: Yeah, well, we’re co-workers. There’s gotta be a certain level of professionalism.

Tom: Yeah, right, right. Yeah. Let me prove myself, okay? I mean, Deacon and I were just talking about this. I’m a firm believer in second chances. And I assume you are too. Since you’ve had a second chance, and– and a third chance, and a fourth chance, and a fifth chance.

Sheila: Okay, Tom, Tom.

Tom: Listen. My point is, you have to believe that it’s never too late to change. Look at me. I was a dumpster diver. And– and now, I’m working at one of the hottest restaurants in Southern California. And it’s about to get hotter.

---

Luna: I mean, this has been crazy. I think this is the first time since the paternity test that we’ve been able to just sit down and breathe.

Poppy: Hmm, our first family outing.

Bill: Certainly fitting, right here at Il Giardino.

Luna: Yeah, where you two found each other again.

Bill: And now, we’re here with our daughter.

Poppy: You knew in your heart she was yours.

Bill: I did.

Deacon: How’s everything so far?

Poppy: It’s great, thank you.

Deacon: Luna, right? RJ’s girlfriend?

Luna: Yes, hi.

Deacon: Hi.

Bill: More than RJ’s girlfriend. This remarkable young woman is my daughter.

Deacon: [ chuckles ] Really? Come on, you’re pulling my leg.

Luna: No, no. I recently found out that Bill is my biological dad.

Deacon: Wow, I — I had no idea. Uh, good for you, that’s great. It’s a nice addition to the Spencer empire. Uh, Bill, all kidding aside, really, congratulations. Besides, the Spencer family just got a lot better-looking. I’m gonna go check out the kitchen. If you guys need anything, please let me know, okay?

Luna: Okay.

Bill: Better get used to me bragging on you. I’m gonna walk up to every stranger in the street and let them know you’re my daughter.

Luna: God, I’m so happy that you’re my dad. And I– I don’t know, I just, I finally feel whole. Like this question mark that’s been hanging over my head my entire life has finally been lifted. Like, I know who I am now, where I come from. I have three brothers and two nieces, a whole extended family and I just feel the most grounded and connected that I’ve ever been. You okay, Mom?

Poppy: Yeah. I’m just so happy.

---

Hope: I missed you. A lot.

Thomas: I missed you too.

Douglas: Hey, can I go get a snack from the kitchen?

Thomas: Yeah, sure, but just don’t be gone too long, okay?

Douglas: Okay.

Thomas: Okay.

Douglas: Bye.

Hope: So…

Thomas: You– you look beautiful. You always do.

Hope: Thank you. You look as handsome as ever.

Thomas: Look, Hope.

Hope: It’s nice to–

Thomas: You go first.

Hope: I guess, um… Uh, it’s… It’s really nice seeing you. It’s been a little… difficult, ever since you left.

Thomas: You understand why I had to go.

Hope: Yes. But also, no. Really threw me. More than anybody realizes.

Thomas: How are you? I mean, I know that we’ve talked about Douglas here and there, but… are you okay?

Hope: Am I okay? Uh… Not really sure how to answer that. Um, I’m hanging in there. The line is hanging in there, barely. Uh… it’s just been very… Very confusing. And my mind has– has been a bit all over the place.

Thomas: Confusing? In what way?

Hope: I guess I just feel like I haven’t been myself lately. I don’t exactly trust my feelings. So, I guess what I am trying to say is that I am just very, very glad that you and Douglas are back.

---

Poppy: I wish I had the courage to find you and tell you that you might have a daughter.

Bill: Okay, enough. Enough. You’ve got to stop doing that. There’s– there will be no more looking back.

Poppy: Yes, but… I was afraid that you wouldn’t want to be involved. That you would reject having a daughter.

Bill: How could that possibly happen? The opportunity to– to parent this remarkable young woman. Be her dad. You have given me the greatest gift, Poppy.

Luna: Yeah, me too, Mom.

Bill: We’re going to have decades together. So many years. So, we are not going to look back, okay? We are just going to focus on the future. End of story.

Poppy: Thank you both for being so forgiving.

Bill: You haven’t taken anything away from my life, Poppy. To the contrary. You’ve added immeasurably to it. And now that we’re all together, no one is going to take you away from me.

---

Tom: Hey, Deacon?

Deacon: Yeah?

Tom: Who is this guy?

Deacon: Oh, Mr. Congeniality. It’s Dollar Bill Spencer, and the new lady in his life. She’s not bad looking, is she? She’s got a daughter named Luna who works over at Forrester, and apparently, Bill just found out that he’s her father.

Tom: What?

Deacon: Yeah. I’m not a Dollar Bill fan, but he’s really welcomed them into the family.

---

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: It’s been busy around here.

Thomas: I’ll bet.

Hope: Oh, it’s Zende’s.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s nice.

Hope: Yeah, he’s — he’s really doing great. He’s made some really wonderful contributions to Hope for the Future.

Thomas: That’s good. You know, I– I know I left you in kind of a bind, so I’m glad he could step up.

Hope: Yes, but it’s not the same. I mean, Thomas, you– you knew exactly what I wanted, what I needed. It was like you could read my mind, and when I think about the woman I aspire to be, and– and what I want that life to look like, I, um… I’ve just been feeling very lost.

Thomas: Come on, Hope. I mean, you’re– you always have it together. You can handle anything.

Hope: Well, I’m not sure about that anymore. I’m really beginning to doubt myself. Thomas, when I was with you, I just… Oh, I found stability. I– I had something and someone that I could rely on, and I know that you were truly committed to me, and I just want you to know that meant the world to me.

Thomas: I… I don’t know what to say.

Hope: You don’t have to say anything. Just know that, um… I’ve really been trying hard to… To bury it, and to distract myself from it, but just know that you’ve been so, so missed, Thomas.

---

Luna: We’ll have birthdays and holidays.

Bill: Vacations on the Stella Maris.

Poppy: Ooh, that is Bill’s yacht. Can you imagine us sailing into Monte Carlo? It’s like, ooh, la dee da.

Luna: Okay, so my mom clearly has already gone bathing suit shopping.

Bill: Hey, listen, we are doing it. I’m gonna see if the boys can join us as well.

Luna: Okay, I’d be down for that. It sounds like so much fun.

Bill: No, we’re gonna have so many vacations together and adventures, and you know what? Celebrate milestone after milestone as a family.

Luna: What do we say? Should we take our first official family selfie?

Bill: Oh, heck yeah, let’s do it. Absolutely. Say, uh, Spencer selfie.

Luna and Poppy: Spencer selfie!

Bill: …be a good one in there.

---

Hope: It feels so good to be in your arms again. [ Hope sighing ] I needed this. Thomas, I know I disappointed you when I turned down your proposal, but please know I never, ever meant to hurt you. That’s the last thing I wanted.

Thomas: Right. But you did hurt me, ’cause you turned me down twice.

Hope: I wasn’t expecting it, though. I thought you understood.

Thomas: It shouldn’t have come as a surprise, though, Hope, considering how deeply I felt for you.

Hope: I mean, I… I haven’t forgotten. Thomas, I wanted to be ready for you. I didn’t want there to be anything false between us. I was still under so much pressure. I mean, I was recovering from my divorce. I was trying to consider the children and how my decisions really affect them. I just wasn’t ready to be married again so soon. I needed more time to recenter myself and to build up my confidence again, Thomas, but that didn’t mean that I wanted to lose you. It didn’t mean that I wanted to end things between us. Because I know how rare a man like you is. Your devotion. Your love for the only woman in your life, so… I have to wonder, why… Why did you come back? Why now? I mean… Can we be together again? Did you come back to give us another shot? Hi!

Thomas: Hey, bud.

Douglas: Hi.

Hope: Were you, uh, were you able to find some snacks? Paris!

Paris: Hi, Hope.

Hope: Hi. Oh, my– I haven’t seen you in so long. What are– what are you doing here?

Douglas: Mom?

Paris and Hope: Yes?

Hope: Douglas, why did you just call Paris mom? What is going on here?

Thomas: Hope, there’s something you should know. Paris and I are engaged. We’re going to be married.

Brooke: Oh, wow. You already beat me in, and you’ve done like a hundred things. It’s not a very good look for the newest executive.

Hope: Oh please, Mom, stop. I just, I happen to have early drop off with Beth today and I just wanted to take advantage of the time since I’ve been out. You know, while she had the flu.

Brooke: Okay, well, family always comes first. We know that. Uh, I didn’t get to finish talking to you about Finn yesterday. And I know what you said, but I am wondering if you’re really going to be able to fight those feelings.

Hope: Well, I have to.

Brooke: Yes, you do, because I can’t imagine the damage that could be done because of this misguided attraction.

Hope: Well, it is deeper than that, Mom. I mean, these feelings, Finn and I, we– we have a genuine friendship, and it’s a friendship that I would like to not risk destroying, so I will, um, I’ll just have to handle it.

Brooke: Come here. You’re doing the right thing.

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: You are.

Hope: Mmm.

Ridge: What’s going on here?

Brooke: Oh! ♪♪

Tom: Hey, Deacon.

Deacon: Yeah.

Tom: Um, I want to make amends to you about yesterday. I mean, you’ve been really nice to me and I came at you with all that stuff about Sheila. Look, I don’t want to overstep. See, I genuinely care about you. See, you– you turned my life around. You gave me a job when I couldn’t get the world to make eye contact with me. And you see, that’s why I want to be the best possible employee I could be. I mean, I want to kick butt here. And, you know, that’s why I– I started looking on the internet.

Deacon: And you stumbled on some information about my new bride.

Tom: She’s got a colorful past, to say the least. I mean, the stuff I was reading about her, whew.

Deacon: Listen, Tom. It’s okay, all right? But it’s a conversation for another time. Right now, what I need you to do is go into the supply closet and here’s what– here’s what I’m going to need, and then I want you to make a list of the cleaning supplies that we need in there because I’m going to put an order in later today, okay? All right?

Tom: You got it, boss.

Deacon: All right, thanks.

Sheila: So? How are you liking your new employee?

Deacon: Well, I think– He’s a lot more pleasant than some of the customers.

Sheila: Oh. No, no, no, no. Not in my section today. I’m– I am not in the mood.

Deacon: You owe me. ♪♪ Well, hello, hello. I didn’t see you on the reservation list, Bill.

Ridge: Oh, wow. That’s, um… can I– can I say one thing?

Hope: Well, I did already ask them to adjust the length.

Ridge: Good. Yeah, now that’s perfect. Still seems like I walked in on something. Is this, uh, Hope for the Future business, is that?

Hope: No, I– I am confident that our line will bounce back, and I am very grateful that we have the extra quarter to achieve that.

Ridge: So, what’s going on here? If this is about Steffy, then maybe I can help, and I should know about it.

Hope: Um, honestly, I don’t really think there is anything you can do to help. It’s, uh… I don’t know. I– I, yes, have been struggling with something, but I’m sure it’s nothing– nothing to do with whatever you’re thinking it is.

Ridge: Well, I’m thinking it’s Steffy, so it has nothing to do with that, is that– yeah?

Hope: Um, okay, fine. Um, honestly, I think I have been a little lost ever since Thomas and Douglas left, and it’s just, uh, left me questioning a lot of things.

Ridge: What things?

Hope: My feelings. I guess they– they’ve kind of been all over the place.

Ridge: Your feelings for Thomas, you mean?

Hope: Uh, I– I don’t– Um, I don’t really know. I don’t really want to get into it. Just know that it– it is not going to affect my work.

Ridge: Good, like to hear that. Listen, you’re lucky you have your mom to lean on, but if you ever want a man’s opinion, I’m– I’m here too. You can talk to me.

Hope: Well, thank you for that.

Ridge: You’re welcome. It is none of my business, but I don’t know how it ended with you and Thomas. I don’t, I don’t know what happened, really, but… I know that boy loved you. Loved you very much. ♪♪

Tom: We got Caesar salad.

Deacon: All right.

Tom: We got garlic bread.

Deacon: Okay.

Tom: And three orders of toe hors d’oeuvres. I mean, I can’t believe that that became such a big hit.

Deacon: You know, after the wedding, I put ’em on the menu. People cannot get enough of them.

Tom: Toes. You know, it just kind of freaks me out to think that Sheila cut off one of her own toes to fake a bear attack.

Deacon: Well, I guess she did what she had to do, right?

Tom: I guess. I– maybe. You know, it– it just doesn’t seem like something a mentally stable person would– would do. Hang on a second. Oh, crap. It’s the wine distributor. This guy. I — mmm, he is such a pain in the butt. I– I gotta take this. Uh, can you get a pitcher of water and just fill everyone’s glass, please? I gotta deal with this.

Tom: Duty calls.

Deacon: Zinfandel? Gewurztraminer? ♪♪

Bill: Adorable. What’d you say? She was around ten?

Poppy: Mm-hmm. I took Luna and two of her friends to the community pool. She had so much fun. That girl could not stop begging me to take her swimming.

Poppy: Thank goodness. You know, I think I’ll start planning her next birthday now. Maybe even allow three of her friends.

Bill: Three? Wow.

Poppy: Mm-hmm.

Tom: Uh, more water?

Poppy: Yes, please.

Bill: Wow, seriously.

Poppy: Hmm? Yes?

Bill: You with me?

Poppy: Yes, I’m– I’m right here. ♪♪

Ridge: I’m not trying to hurt your feelings. It’s just, um, I know my son. I know that how he felt for you was genuine. He thought you guys had a future together. That’s all.

Brooke: Hope wasn’t ready to commit to marriage. Not so soon after ending things with Liam.

Ridge: I get that. And I’m not– Yes, I get it. I’m just trying to find a connection. She’s not feeling well, and it kind of started when Thomas left, so I thought maybe deep down, you thought maybe you made the wrong choice.

Hope: Uh, I’m– I’m not sure how deep down everything has been. I feel like it’s been pretty out in the open. Thomas was fully aware that I was not all right with them leaving. And he knows how I feel about him. And I wanted our relationship to continue, but he needed something more. A marriage. And it didn’t feel right to accept a proposal that I wasn’t ready for.

Ridge: Okay, no, I– I agree with that. I’m sorry. I do. I agree with that. I’m just trying to help you find some peace.

Hope: Well, I’ve been trying to. For some time now, I’m sorry, Mom. I’ve been keeping it in. Um, no, I’ve been trying and I guess it’s been a little harder than I let on. With Thomas and Douglas gone, it’s just been, um, yeah, I’ve been struggling, Ridge, lately. Probably more than people realize.

Ridge: So, what are you doing? Are you reconsidering? Are you…

Hope: I’m still not ready for marriage. I’m just not. To anyone. Anyone. But if and when I am, at least I will have known Thomas’ love, and what it was like to be with someone who only had eyes for me, and… I’m the better for it. Because I will never settle for less than that ever again. ♪♪

Sheila: No more spills?

Tom: I don’t want to talk right now.

Sheila: Yeah, well you know what? I do. I want to know exactly what it is that you think is so terrible about me. I heard you, Tom. I heard you talking to Deacon. And– and regardless of what you read on the internet, there are two sides to every story.

Tom: Yeah, I get that.

Tom: I don’t want to get off on the wrong foot with you.

Sheila: No, you know what is surprising? Me overhearing somebody badmouth me to my husband. Don’t ever do that again. Okay, I– I may have had a colorful past, but it was my past, and it stays there. It’s none of your business. You got me, Tom?

Tom: Yeah, Sheila. Of course. ♪♪

Ridge: Did I cross a line? I– I didn’t mean to.

Brooke: With Hope?

Ridge: Yeah, just bringing up Thomas, and I don’t want her thinking that I’m blaming her. I’m not. Just… she said she felt lost. She looked lost.

Brooke: Yeah. She’s just dealing with a lot right now.

Ridge: More than missing Thomas? I’m doing it again, right? I’m — I’m prying. I don’t, I’m sorry. I don’t…

Brooke: I– I have my concerns about my daughter, but we talked about things and worked through some things. I– I think I got through to her.

Ridge: Of course you did. ‘Cause that’s what you do. You get through to people. It’s one of your talents. And that’s why I hired you.

Brooke: Actually, I think you hired me because you wanted to see me here more often.

Ridge: What? Silly. I do what’s best for the company and, ah, you’re right.

Brooke: Aw.

[ relaxing music ]

Brooke: I am truly honored to take on this role and help lead Forrester into the future. And I’m excited about working harmoniously with you, Steffy. Forresters and Logans united.

Steffy: Dad, why wouldn’t you come to me first? Let me know what you were thinking. I am your co-CEO. We’ve accomplished so much together.

Ridge: And we’re gonna continue doing that. I’m not stepping away.

Steffy: How? You just wedged Brooke between us in an executive position.

Hope: Which is something my mother more than deserves.

Steffy: Do you– do you not respect me? You don’t wanna give me that one simple courtesy that you were thinking this?

Ridge: How dare you say that? That I don’t– Of course I respect you. I’m stepping away from responsibility. I didn’t want it to land on you.

Steffy: Oh, okay. So you’re doing this for me?

Ridge: I am doing it for you. And I’m doing it for the company. And I guess you don’t see that now, but maybe one day you will.

---

Poppy: I wasn’t expecting to find you here.

Katie: Surprise.

Poppy: Yes, it is. Did the guard at the gate let you in?

Katie: Oh, his name is Alfred. He’s been with us since I was Bill’s wife.

Poppy: How long ago was that exactly?

Katie: It doesn’t really matter. You’re mistress of the manor now.

Poppy: Yes, but this is all still very new to me, as it was for you once upon a time.

Katie: Well, if you’re asking if I was born into this type of opulence, no, I wasn’t.

Poppy: Neither was I.

Katie: But you seem to be enjoying it, though.

Poppy: Well, I’m enjoying the home that I share with Bill and my daughter. Wouldn’t you if you were in my shoes?

---

Brooke: You can’t say a word to anybody. Our daughter is having feelings for an inappropriate man.

Deacon: Who?

Brooke: Steffy’s husband.

Deacon: Steffy’s husband?

Brooke: Don’t say it so loud.

Deacon: Hope’s got the hots for Finn? You know, don’t you? [ Sheila coughs ]

Sheila: Excuse me?

Deacon: You were eavesdropping. You heard everything. Sheila, what the hell am I gonna do with you?

---

♪

Sheila: I– I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Deacon: The travel agent I was speaking to. Come on, you heard my side of the conversation. Now you know I was gonna whisk you away on a belated honeymoon. [ Sheila stammers ]

Sheila: Really?

Deacon: Yeah, really.

Sheila: Oh! Oh, well, where are you going to whisk me away, Mr. Sharpe? Is it someplace tropical where maybe clothing might be optional?

Deacon: Oh, Mrs. Sharpe, you are a very naughty lady.

Sheila: Yeah. I’m also a very lucky lady to be married to such a… oof, incredibly sexy, loving man.

---

Katie: I have been in your shoes before. [ Poppy chuckles ]

Poppy: Of course. This used to be your home.

Katie: Bill and I moved here when we started our lives together.

Poppy: Um, just as Bill and I are doing now with our daughter.

Katie: Well, obviously you’re settling right in. Quickly.

Poppy: We have a lot of time to make up for. We lost years as a family. I finally want Luna to know her father. And the rest of her siblings, which includes Will. Well, I’m guessing that’s why you’re here, to talk to Bill about that and…

Bill: Talk to me about what? Did I walk in on something?

---

Steffy: So it’s done. Brooke’s part of the executive team now.

Hope: And I think it’s about time. She has been sidelined for far too long.

Steffy: That was her choice.

Brooke: Well, now I am choosing to roll up my sleeves and play a more important role here at Forrester Creations so your father can–

Steffy: Focus on couture. He doesn’t wanna be inundated with the daily minutia. I understand that. I’m not opposed to it. I welcome it.

Hope: Just not welcoming of a Logan having any sort of say-so in this company.

Carter: If I may interject, everyone here is on the same page about wanting what’s best for Forrester.

Ridge: Absolutely. That’s what it’s all about.

Brooke: I have to agree. But what it shouldn’t be about is division. Forresters versus Logans. Can we all agree on that?

---

Poppy: Katie and I were just chatting.

Bill: Everything okay?

Poppy: Oh, yeah. I was just surprised to arrive and find her in our home.

Bill: Well, I asked Katie over so we could talk about everything that’s transpired, given that it affects our son. I also wanted to know how Katie was doing with it. It’s been a shock to everyone.

Katie: I mean, to find out after 20 years, that you have a daughter? Poppy never shared that with you.

Poppy: For reasons I explained to Bill. Reasons he understands.

Bill: Poppy has given me an incredible gift. A beautiful, sweet, talented daughter that I am proud to call my own. And I will always be grateful to you for that.

---

Sheila: I just– I don’t know when I’ve ever been this happy, if ever.

Deacon: Well, I guess I must be doing something right.

Sheila: No. You’re doing everything right. And just being your wife, knowing that you’re standing by me, I’ve never felt that kind of love, that kind of support before.

Deacon: For better, for worse. It’s the pledge that I made to you, and I don’t plan on going back on it. Even when you say things that worry me a little. When you talk about how you’d like to have a bigger role in Hayes’ life, even though you know the chances are slim to none as long as Steffy’s involved and she is involved. She’s his wife, Sheila. I mean, he worships her. Whatever Steffy says goes.

Sheila: You make it sound like my son has no, you know, mind of his own. And he does.

Deacon: No, I get it. He does, okay? But I mean, when you’re talking about the family that the two of them share, you… I know. You wish things were different. But they’re not. Too much has happened. You’ve done too much to Steffy for her to forget or forgive.

Sheila: I’ve changed. I’ve changed.

Deacon: I know, baby. I know you have, and that’s why I married you. I know that you wanna live a life that’s good and positive, and I realize that.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, if only Steffy could realize that too, huh?

---

Carter: Okay, Ridge, this is completely doable. I’ll connect with Brooke and work out the specifics.

Ridge: It’ll take her a minute to settle in, I think.

Carter: I’ll do everything I can to help.

Ridge: Thank you.

Carter: We all will.

Ridge: Hey, listen, this is an adjustment for everybody, but it’s gonna be good for us. It’s gonna be what’s best for the company. And that’s the most important thing, right?

Steffy: Yeah. I’ll always be committed to Forrester. That’ll never change.

Ridge: So you’ll give it a chance? [ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Yes. Yes, I– I will. It’s gonna be tough. You and I have this incredible shorthand. It’s not gonna be the same way with Brooke, but we’ll figure out a way to get through it.

Finn: Hey. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I can wait outside.

Steffy: No, no, it’s fine. We were just having a discussion about Brooke, her new position here at Forrester.

Carter: An executive leadership position.

Steffy: Dad wants to focus more on design.

Finn: Oh. Okay. Wait, so what does that mean for you and your dad as co-CEOs?

Steffy: I have been asking myself and my father the same thing.

---

Hope: I am so proud of you! Agreeing to be part of the executive team.

Brooke: I am so excited.

Hope: Well, it means we get to work together more now. As two Logan women.

Brooke: Yes. But we do need to cooperate with Steffy.

Hope: And we will. As long as she agrees to cooperate with us.

Brooke: Honey, we can’t get off on the wrong foot. Let’s just give her some time to get used to the idea of working together, okay?

Hope: Fine. I won’t do a victory dance in front of her. As tempting as that might be.

Brooke: Aww. I do appreciate your enthusiasm and support. I really do. But I have to ask… what is going on with your feelings for Steffy’s husband?

---

Deacon: Okay, you sure you’re good with this, right? Working the dining room?

Tom: Whatever you need, boss. Pour water, refilling the olive oils.

Deacon: Rule number one: you gotta make sure the customers have lots of breadsticks and butter.

Tom: You gotta have something to dip in the olive oil.

Deacon: Right? Good man. Uh, hey, Tom. You’re gonna need to stow the guitar in the backpack, though. You can– Put it behind the bar. It’ll be safe. I promise.

Tom: Okay.

Deacon: Okay.

Tom: Hey, Deacon. You know, I really appreciate all the new responsibilities. I promise I won’t let you down.

Deacon: I know you won’t. I just wish all my employees were as dedicated to their job as you are.

Tom: Well, you took a chance on yours truly, as is. I’ll forever be in your debt.

Deacon: It goes both ways. Sheila and I are in your debt for getting us hitched.

Tom: You know, uh, speaking of Sheila, there’s– there’s something I’d like to talk with you about.

---

Carter: I put together materials for Brooke so she can hit the ground running.

Ridge: Thank you, Carter.

Carter: No problem.

Finn: You okay?

Steffy: Well, it isn’t the best day.

Finn: Anything I can do?

Steffy: You can try to change my father’s mind.

Finn: Like, where did Brooke get this idea? Is this her idea?

Steffy: Dad, you wanna– you wanna say something?

Ridge: It was my idea. With Dad and Thomas gone right now, I kind of have to focus on design more. So, I gave Brooke some of my responsibilities so I could, um–

Finn: Focus on sketching.

Ridge: Yeah. The only problem is I’ve upset my daughter. For you to think that I don’t respect you, I don’t value your opinion, that– It just… It couldn’t be further from the truth. You gotta know that. I think you, me, Brooke, we can lead this company into the future. Give it a chance. [ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Every time I turn around, there’s another Logan. There’s no getting away from them. Like Hope wasn’t bad enough, now I have to deal with Brooke? Are you kidding?

Hope: Well, that came out of nowhere.

Brooke: Out of concern, honey. And don’t deflect. You already told me you have feelings for him.

Hope: Look, I– I– I know how it sounds, Mom, but I don’t wanna lie to you. I certainly don’t wanna lie to myself. Yes, Finn is an amazing man, and we are a lot alike.

Brooke: Come on, you can’t be attracted to Steffy’s husband. It’s only going to lead to disaster. You have to understand that. You do understand that, don’t you?

---

Tom: Listen, I’m not trying to get up in your business. I know how much you love her.

Deacon: But?

Tom: But, here’s the thing. See, I was thinking, to do the best possible job here, I thought I should do some research.

Deacon: What?

Tom: Online. Yeah, you see, I wanted to find out as much as possible about you and your new bride without asking you a lot of questions. So, I went to the library. You know, they’ve got computers at the library. The things I started reading about Sheila kind of freaked me out. Your lady love’s got quite a past.

Deacon: Yeah, I’m aware.

Tom: And you still married her?

Deacon: Listen, let me set your mind at ease, all right? Sheila’s done a lot of things in her past that, if she could, she’d undo them, but you know what she has done? She’s turned her life around. Sheila’s a new woman. Tell you what, let’s get back to work. Um… Yeah, let’s get back to work. I need you to get some stuff out of the, uh, supply closet. Go and do that.

---

Finn: I hate seeing you this upset.

Steffy: I hate being put in this situation. I’m completely blindsided by my father.

Finn: Hey, babe, but you know that’s not Ridge’s intention. He loves you.

Steffy: Yeah, and I love my dad too, but Brooke always has this, like, hold on him.

Finn: What, you think that she pressured him into–

Steffy: No, honestly, I really don’t know. I don’t know what happened. I think it was my father’s idea. But who cares? Who cares? Because at the end of the day, I’m gonna be the one who has to deal with Brooke.

Finn: True, true. But maybe if you give it a try, Brooke has the executive experience. She could be a good fit.

Steffy: Finn, are you really gonna say that to me right now?

Finn: No, that’s not– Okay– That’s not what I meant.

Steffy: No, I know what you meant. But I really don’t need my husband defending Brooke. Or Hope.

---

Hope: I am trying not to think about Finn, but it is not easy. He’s a good man. He’s easy on the eyes.

Brooke: Hope!

Hope: What? Mom, okay, yes, I know he’s married. And to even think about being with him would be like… It would be like–

Brooke: Be like what? You’re becoming your mother?

Hope: I did not mean it that way. I love you, Mom. And I am so, so proud of you and the woman that you are. Gosh, I don’t know, Mom. I don’t know why I am feeling this way. Why my emotions are so out of control. I mean, first with Thomas, and now with Finn. And I’m trying to understand where this is all coming from, and I don’t–

Brooke: I don’t know either, honey. Look, just– just promise me that you’re gonna stop thinking about Finn this way.

Hope: No, I know. I know you’re right, and I– I don’t want to feel this way. It’s like… something is clouding my judgment and I don’t even recognize myself anymore. So, I know that Finn would never leave Steffy. He’s committed to her and their family. And that’s the way it should be. It’s the reason why I admire him so much, is his loyalty. Finn’s deep capacity for love. Even for people who… don’t always deserve it. So, uh… their marriage, that’s between them, and I– I will… I will try not to… come between that. I won’t, Mom. I promise. I will not be that woman.

[ dramatic music ]

Steffy: I am not running Forrester Creations with Brooke. Absolutely not.

Ridge: Steffy, please. Just take a moment. Just trust me with this. You’re a born leader. I’m proud of everything that we’ve done together, but you can’t do this alone. And everything you bring to the table, everything Brooke brings to the table, is exactly what Forrester Creations needs right now.

Steffy: Making me work with Brooke would be a disaster for this company. I refuse to let that happen.

---

Bill: Here’s your coffee. Black with a touch of cream.

Katie: Oh, you remembered.

Bill: How could I forget? Thanks for coming back over, Katie. I’m sure you know what I want to talk to you about.

Katie: Yes, I think I do. You and Poppy and your long-lost daughter, Luna.

---

Poppy: Do you have a minute?

Li: I’m very busy, Penelope.

Poppy: Please.

Li: What can I do for you?

Poppy: I wanna talk to you about the paternity test.

---

♪

Poppy: We left things in a very bad way after you inserted yourself in a very personal moment for Luna, Bill, and me.

Li: I thought everyone would have peace of mind with a licensed professional administering your paternity test. No mistakes.

Poppy: I’m not here to fight, or even ask for an apology. I was just hoping that now it’s been proven that Bill is Luna’s father, that we can finally move past this tension and conflict.

---

Bill: So, Katie, we really didn’t get a chance to talk when you were here earlier.

Katie: No, no. Poppy was pretty much glued to you. [ Bill chuckles ]

Bill: Yeah. [ Bill sighs ] So, this has been a big adjustment. Finding out that Luna was my daughter was shocking to say the least, but a very good shock. Life-changing. I’m sure it’s very shocking for you as well. I just wanna know how you feel, finding out that I have another child with another woman.

---

Steffy: This is ridiculous.

Ridge: It’s what’s best for the company, Steffy. I need to get back to the lifeblood of Forrester, and that is design.

Steffy: Dad, we’re a team. Father, daughter, taking this company to new heights.

Ridge: We’re still gonna do that. I’m still gonna be here. We’re gonna be together. I’m not leaving. I’m here.

Steffy: So, Brooke is the answer? Brooke’s the answer? How could you possibly think that’s a good idea?

---

Li: So what? You want us to make amends?

Poppy: I do. I… I hate what’s become of us. I miss you, Li. We used to be so close, and I want that again. Do you remember when I was little and, um, Mom put together that huge dinner for the entire family at the house? I grabbed a roll off the table before Grandma was served.

Li: Mom slapped your hand and scolded you in front of everyone.

Poppy: That’s right. She embarrassed and she punished me for breaking tradition and for being disrespectful. And I was only five.

Li: Yeah, I remember.

Poppy: Do you remember what happened next? I was in my room, alone, crying and hungry. And then you came in. And you kissed me on the forehead. And you held me. And you said that everything was gonna be okay. And you even snuck me a few dinner rolls. [ Li sighs ] I want my big sister back.

Li: Penelope… that was a long time ago.

Poppy: Not to me. It feels like it happened yesterday. I know that I let you down in the past, but you let me down too. You questioned my motives regarding Bill, implying I was trying to trap him, and that really hurt me. But I am willing to forgive you because I want a fresh start. This is such a wonderful time for Luna and me, and I want it to be that way for all of us.

Li: Why? Is it because you finally got what you wanted? What you’ve always wanted? A powerful, rich man?

---

Bill: Whatever you feel about me having a daughter with Poppy, I just want to know.

Katie: Wow. That’s a big question. I mean, I have a lot of thoughts.

Bill: What are they?

Katie: Well, I– I love Luna. She’s great.

Bill: But?

Katie: But I really don’t know Poppy at all. And I’m having a hard time understanding how she could keep the fact that you’re Luna’s father from you. You don’t find that odd?

Bill: I did at first, but Poppy explained that she was scared.

Katie: Right, because of her great love for you. I mean, I suppose that one night you shared 20 years ago must have been really something. [ Bill chuckling ]

Bill: Be honest, Katie. Are you feeling threatened?

Katie: Threatened?

Bill: That Poppy and I share a daughter.

---

Steffy: Brooke, so, uh, how long have you known about this?

Brooke: Not very long.

Steffy: So, you spoke to her before you spoke to me?

Ridge: I spoke to Brooke because I didn’t know if she would even be interested in it. And it turns out that she didn’t want to do it because she was concerned about how you would feel. And you know what? I kept pushing because Brooke is the best thing for the company right now.

Steffy: No, she is not. You are what’s best for this company. Think about everything we’ve accomplished together.

Ridge: And we’re gonna keep doing that. With Brooke’s help. I need to be with the design team.

Steffy: Okay, fine, fine. So, you needed to shed some responsibilities, but why wouldn’t you come to me first? You said that this is gonna be a business decision. But including Brooke? That is personal, Dad, and you know it.

Ridge: No, it’s not.

Steffy: Okay.

Carter: Steffy, Brooke’s the ideal person to fill the role. She has decades of experience, she’s run the company in the past, not to mention her invaluable contributions by way of the BeLieF formula and the bedroom line.

Hope: I wholeheartedly agree. I believe no one is more qualified to lead this company into the future than you, Mom. All you have to do is say yes.

---

Poppy: You refuse to be happy for me.

Li: I don’t know what you want me to say, Penelope. My opinion of you hasn’t changed. [ Poppy scoffs ] The only person I feel for is Luna. Finally, that poor girl knows who her father is.

Poppy: That poor girl?

Li: You knew Bill could be the father, yet you kept it from her. Why? I don’t know. But I bet it has more to do with you than Luna.

Poppy: Money or not, Bill is everything I’ve ever wanted in a man. He’s incredibly strong, yet sweet and tender. And the way he talks about his sons and now Luna, I’m in so much awe of the kind of father he is. I really wish that you could move on from your issues with me, but that is your call. So thank you, Li, for running the paternity test and for making this dream come true.

---

Katie: I don’t feel threatened by what you and Poppy have. I’m happy that you and Luna have found each other.

Bill: Well, there’s something there. I know you, and I can hear it in your voice.

Katie: This is just all very confusing for me. I have a lot of mixed feelings, and most of them I don’t feel are justifiable.

Bill: I just wanna know how you feel, Katie. You don’t have to justify anything.

Katie: It’s just that you never had a relationship with Liam and Wyatt’s mothers. You know, you never lived together as a family. That was ours. We lived together. In this house. You, me, and Will and I– I just feel like that– that part of your heart belonged to us.

Bill: It always will.

Katie: And yet, you’re here, with a brand new family, living in the house where we raised our son. See, that’s what I’m talking about. These– these feelings aren’t justifiable. I sound stupid.

Bill: You can never sound stupid. And believe me when I tell you that you and Will can never be replaced.

Katie: We had a lot of good memories in this house. In this room, we raised our child here.

Bill: Yeah, we did. He took his first steps right over there.

Katie: Oh, I know. I can’t even think about it. He was so cute, toddling around.

Bill: I haven’t forgotten. How could I? Those were very special memories.

Katie: I know.

Bill: And I will always hold them very close to my heart.

---

Hope: Mother, you’ve said it yourself, how you’re ready to take on a more active role here at Forrester.

Steffy: Yes, active, like relaunching Brooke’s bedroom line, not running Forrester Creations.

Hope: You deserve this position. That is why Ridge offered it to you. And please do not let Steffy’s unfair opinion sway you.

Steffy: Oh, you’re only pushing this because I threatened to cut your line.

Hope: Oh, my God, Steffy, you are so out of touch. Ridge, are you sure that you’re the co-CEO who needs less on his plate?

Steffy: Excuse me?

Ridge: All right, I didn’t call this meeting to have a fight with everybody, all right?

Hope: No, no, you called this meeting because clearly you and Carter believe and trust in my mother to help lead this company into the future. I mean, it is a clear no-brainer who should step up, but someone clearly cannot see past their disdain for anything Logan. You heard your COO. All of the huge contributions my mother has made to this company over the years.

Ridge: There’s really no reason for any of this if we don’t know your answer. What do you say? Do you accept my offer?

---

Bill: I know, right? I mean, it feels like yesterday that Will was running around here in his diaper.

Katie: Do you remember when he was so afraid of the dark?

Bill: How could I forget? We pitched a tent in his room and I slept in that thing for the better part of a week.

Katie: I just thought it was amazing that big bad Bill Spencer was sleeping on the floor in a tent with a five-year-old’s foot in his face.

Bill: I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.

Katie: Neither would I.

Bill: What we had was about as perfect as it could get. Until I ruined it. I will never forgive myself for what I did to you, Katie.

Katie: Bill, what happened with Brooke is so far in the past. I believe you when you tell me that you’re completely over her.

Bill: Still, it’s the biggest regret of my life hurting you like that. And I’ve done some… terrible things. Like, really bad things.

Katie: Yeah. Listen, I know you didn’t invite me over here to talk about us. You wanted to talk about Poppy and Luna and I just want you to know that I– I really just want the best for you. I mean that.

Bill: I appreciate that.

Katie: We have got to talk to Will sooner rather than later, and until we do, please, you’ve got to keep this out of the press.

Bill: Oh, yeah, no. It’ll be kept under wraps until we talk to him.

Katie: Okay, good. Gosh, I have no idea how he’s gonna react to this. I mean, it’s always just been him and his brothers, and now he has a sister.

Bill: Maybe it’s best if we just rip the bandage off. “Hey, Will, you know how you said you always wondered what it would be like to have a sister? Well, here you go.”

Katie: Oh, my gosh. I think it might need a softer touch.

Bill: I’m sure you’re right. [ cell phone pinging ] Oh, Katie, I’m sorry. We have something big brewing at Spencer. I’ve gotta–

Katie: Yeah, yeah, of course. Of course. I should be going anyway.

Bill: No, no, no. Just stay and finish your coffee. There’s no rush.

Katie: Okay.

Bill: This was really nice. Just sitting on the couch talking with you. It reminded me of old times. You know how I feel. How I will always feel. You’re my Katie. [ Katie sighing ]

Katie: Oh, Katie.

Poppy: Katie? What are you doing here?

Katie: Um…

---

Carter: So, what will it be, Brooke? Are you going to accept Ridge’s offer?

Ridge: You can do so much for Forrester.

Hope: You already have. Our blood runs through this company too, and we need more representation here. We can’t just let Steffy steamroll everything related to the Logans.

Steffy: Do I need to remind you that the name outside of this building is Forrester? Founded by my grandfather and my grandmother, my namesake.

Brooke: And nothing will ever change that. Nobody here wants to dishonor what Stephanie and Eric built, their legacy. In fact, what you’ve done here, Steffy, working with your father as co-CEO, it’s been quite remarkable. And your grandmother would be very proud. I wanna thank the three of you for recognizing my value here at the company. It really means a lot to me. I’m sorry that Steffy doesn’t wanna work with me. You know, I was really looking forward to combining our talents to see what we could do here at Forrester for years to come. But, obviously, she doesn’t wanna do that.

Ridge: So, you’re turning me down again?

Brooke: I think I’m just going to have to have faith that Steffy and I will work together one day quite well. We have to, right? If we don’t want to dishonor Eric and Stephanie. I’m not gonna turn you down, Ridge. In fact, I am honored to say yes. I will join you in leading this company forward.

Hope: This is wonderful news, Mom.

Carter: Congratulations, Brooke.

Brooke: Thanks, Carter. Steffy, I know you’re not thrilled about this, but it’s not what you’re thinking. Honestly. This is not Forresters versus Logans. This is Logans and Forresters united. Trust me.

Deacon: Okay, I don’t– I just don’t believe it. Come on. Hope? Really? She’s got the hots for Finn?

Brooke: The hots?

Deacon: You know what I mean. Come on, this is Hope we’re talking about, right? And Finn… is a happily married guy.

Brooke: Why do you think I’m so worried? [ Deacon sighs ]

Deacon: Oh, my God. Okay, maybe– maybe Hope just admires him, you know? I mean, who wouldn’t? Look, you know, I mean, the guy’s kind of like a superhero, you know? He’s got the body and the jaw.

Brooke: Deacon. My God, she admitted it to me. It’s eating her up inside. This isn’t something she’s proud of.

Deacon: You’re serious. Hope’s got the hots for Steffy’s husband.

---

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: And now Hope’s involving herself. I mean, that girl’s just getting on my nerves. She is telling me that I can’t say anything to my husband about staying away from Sheila. It’s ridiculous and it’s extremely frustrating.

Finn: Hey, come here. Listen. Honey, don’t worry about Hope, okay? She’s not going to be a problem for us. [ Steffy sighs ]

Hope: Oh, I thought Ridge had called a meeting.

Steffy: Yeah, he did.

Hope: Well, do you know why?

Steffy: No, but the way things are going, I’m prepared for anything.

Hope: Okay, well, if it’s going to be a while, I can just come back.

Steffy: Uh, no, Hope, actually, I want to talk to you. Alone. It’s about my husband.

---

♪

Hope: Uh, Steffy, I really don’t think that Finn is a good topic for us.

Steffy: I agree. This is why it should be the last time it comes up. Finn and I had a conversation about you, and you need to know what was said.

Hope: And why is that?

Steffy: So you understand what the boundaries are. Look, I can’t tell you how to feel about your father or Sheila. If you want to put your family in harm’s way, that’s up to you. What I do not accept is you trying to encourage my husband to feel the exact same way. He assured me that’s not going to happen, but given your attitude, you need to keep your distance from Finn. [ Hope exhales ]

Ridge: All right, what’s going on here?

---

Deacon: Just trying to wrap my head around the fact that Hope has feelings for Steffy’s husband.

Brooke: You have to keep this to yourself.

Deacon: I’m not going to go blabbing my kid’s business all over town.

Brooke: Okay, and I told you, there’s nothing going on with them yet. She’s just starting to have feelings for…

Both: Finn.

Deacon: Yeah.

Brooke: Right. I’m telling you this because you’re her father, and I know that she comes here and hangs out with you and with Finn.

Deacon: You want me to keep an eye on them? Mm-hmm?

Brooke: Yes, and trust me, if it were up to Steffy, she would never allow Finn in here ever again. I just need you to be aware. And yes, keep your eye out. Just be discreet.

Deacon: All right.

Brooke: Don’t tell anybody that she has an attraction for him. Nobody at all.

---

---

Hope: Steffy, don’t you think you’re overreacting just a little bit?

Steffy: Because I’m questioning your judgment?

Hope: My father’s relationship with Sheila isn’t a reason for Finn to have to stay away from me.

Steffy: Your acceptance of it is.

Hope: Well, I don’t exactly think that is fair to me or to Finn.

Steffy: Okay, Dad, do you see this? Do you see what’s going on here? This is what I’m concerned about, and why are you telling me about my husband?

Hope: I’m not doing that.

Steffy: Yes, you are, and you’ve been doing it a lot lately.

Ridge: All right, Hope, I know you mean well, but my daughter has explained why Finn can’t be around his birth mother.

Steffy: Yeah, and if you disagree with that, then you should not be around my husband. He understands that. He understands the gravity of this, and he always knows to put his family first.

Carter: Sorry, sorry, I was on a call. Maybe you need another minute.

Ridge: No, no. Everything that had to be said has been said. Let’s get back to the business at hand.

Steffy” Okay, what’s on the agenda? I didn’t even know we had this.

Hope: Is this about Hope for the Future? Because you did give my team–

Ridge: No, it’s not.

Steffy: Why didn’t we do this this morning? I mean, I have so many things to do.

Carter: I’m sure your father will move things along, right?

Ridge: We’re waiting for one more person.

Steffy: Who?

Ridge: Brooke.

---

Brooke: Hope is really struggling with this. We have to handle it carefully.

Deacon: Give me a little credit, will you? I know I haven’t been at this parent game as long as you have, but I care about Hope just as much.

Brooke: Of course you do. It’s just really complicated. It involves Ridge and Steffy and the company. It could affect so much.

Deacon: Hope is my main concern.

Brooke: Okay, well then, you should know everything that’s going on with her. She feels that Steffy doesn’t appreciate her husband enough and that she’s been really controlling of Finn, especially where Sheila’s concerned.

Deacon: She’s demanding that, you know, Finn stays away from Sheila.

Brooke: Yes.

Deacon: Okay, I mean, I’m just going to come out and say it. I see where Hope’s coming from.

Brooke: Okay, Deacon, that’s not really helpful.

Deacon: Okay, but I mean, Sheila is Finn’s birth mother. I mean, no amount of whining and griping is going to change that.

Brooke: Steffy is worried about her safety and her family’s safety.

Deacon: I told her a million times, she’s got nothing to worry about. All right, whatever. Okay, all right. Yeah, all I want to say is I’m just glad that Hope is keeping an open mind.

Brooke: Well, Hope has concerns about Sheila, too.

Deacon: Okay, but at least she’s giving her a chance, unlike Steffy.

Brooke: Okay, look, I– I don’t want to debate this with you and I got to get back to the office. I don’t want to regret telling you this.

Deacon: Hey, um, thank you for telling me.

Brooke: Sure. Yeah. I don’t want you to say anything to anybody, though.

Deacon: I know. Okay.

Brooke: I think I got through to her. I mean, I pray that… Hope listened to me and that she stops this and she puts an end to her feelings for Steffy’s husband.

---

Deacon: Hey, thank you guys so much for coming. It’s great to see you again. [ phone rings ] Hey, Hollis. [ stammers ] No, no, no, it’s okay. It’s okay. All right, don’t worry. Yeah, I’ll check the temperatures on the fridge. Yes, dear. Okay. All right. Thanks. I wonder where Sheila is. Huh. I promise, from this day forward, you shall not walk alone.

Sheila: I promise, from this day forward, you shall not walk alone.

Sheila: Hey, there’s my handsome husband.

Deacon: Hey, you know, I was just thinking about you. Yeah, I was thinking about our wedding day.

Sheil

Deacon: Mine, too. Where you been?

Sheila: I just– I just completely lost track of time. So, nowhere really. What, did I miss out on something?

Deacon: No, I– you know, just about to go check the temperatures in the fridge. Unless you need me for something first?

Sheila: Daddy, I’ve got a list about a mile long.

Deacon: Well, then, I’ll make sure I’m available for later.

Sheila: Oh. [ Sheila chuckling ] You are not going to take me upstairs this very moment? Well, clearly the honeymoon’s already over.

Deacon: Come on.

Sheila: Seriously, I mean, what’s– what’s going on?

Deacon: What do you mean?

Sheila: It seems like you’ve got something on your mind.

Deacon: Just, you know, I mean, work. You know, Hollis called out. I’m gonna go check the refrigerator’s temperatures.

Sheila: Work. I guess it’s just me, then.

Deacon: You?

Sheila: I– I can’t stop thinking about what Finn said earlier.

Deacon: I mean, it was nice of him to stop by.

Sheila: Oh, to tell me that he was never going to do that again.

Deacon: Ah, don’t believe him. No one could stay away from my pizza.

Sheila: Deacon, it’s frustrating. Because I know my son cares about me. I– I know the connection that we have. He wants to know me. I– I think I could be a big part of his life and my grandson’s, if it weren’t for Steffy.

---

Ridge: Brooke’ll be here in a moment.

Steffy: Well, hopefully soon. I got a lot going on, Dad.

Hope: Well, since we are all here, we could discuss my proposal for a showing.

Steffy: Hope, my father already insisted on your line getting another quarter, all right? I don’t think it’s financially responsible to be throwing money at a fashion show. Am I right?

Carter: Everyone’s pulling back on production. We’re putting the spotlight back on designs.

Hope: Okay, but Hope for the Future is still one of the most prominent lines here. There should be some flexibility with the budget.

Ridge: Okay. Carter’s gonna look at it.

Steffy: Okay, what is taking so long?

Ridge: Can you just be patient for a second? She’ll be here.

Steffy: I– I’m just really confused right now. We already had a meeting this morning regarding Brooke and Brooke’s bedroom line. Like, I’m not going to be any more enthusiastic about it. Is she going to come in and make another pitch? You already know how I feel.

Ridge: Why would you say that? She doesn’t have to pitch.

Carter: Brooke’s brought a lot of success to this company, Steffy.

Brooke: Oh, sorry.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: I had to run out. Lost track of time.

Hope: Is everything all right?

Brooke: Hi. Yeah, just somebody I had to see. Go ahead. I’ll catch up.

Ridge: No, no, no, it’s all right. I think it’s, uh, it’s time to change gears. You’re probably wondering why I called two meetings in one day. Well, this is important. It has to do with the future of Forrester Creations.

---

Sheila: You know, it’s just, it’s so painful, knowing that my son could one day accept me and Steffy just keeps pulling him away from me.

Deacon: She’s his wife, babe. I mean, he has to take her feelings into account.

Sheila: No. No, he doesn’t think the same way Steffy does. He never has. He just can’t say anything to her or she’s gonna go ballistic. Look, there’s no reasoning with Steffy, Deacon. No, she is so closed off and unforgiving.

Deacon: Come on, you can’t get caught up in this again.

Sheila: It’s just so infuriating. She refuses to even acknowledge that I may have changed. And I have. You’ve seen it.

Deacon: Yes, I have. A hundred percent.

Sheila: And Finn has seen it too. Even– even Hope. Hope was willing to show me some understanding as your wife, as Finn’s mother.

Deacon: I think my kid’s a little ways off from joining the Sheila Carter fan club.

Sheila: Wait, wait, wait. Finn and Hope showed up at our wedding. They were there to support us. Why can’t Steffy do that?

Deacon: It’s not gonna happen if you try and muscle your way into their family.

Sheila: I know, I know, I know, I know. I… I was dreaming. I was dreaming, to think that I could… ever win Steffy over. I gotta tell you, I– I can’t help but wonder what my relationship would be like with my son if he were with a woman that… was just willing, you know, willing to give me a chance.

---

Hope: You would like to discuss the future of this company?

Ridge: Yes. And I’m realizing now that that sounded a little ominous.

Steffy: Is this a new issue or something we already discussed?

Ridge: It’s something that I think needs to be re-evaluated.

Brooke: Not Hope’s line.

Ridge: No, not– not Hope’s line at all. No, me. I need to re-evaluate me and who I am in this company. I’m sorry, I can’t take all these meetings anymore. I can’t sit around this table all day and answer phone calls. I– I need to focus on design. Especially now with Thomas and my dad out of the picture. For now.

Steffy: So, what are you saying, Dad?

Ridge: I don’t know. I love working with you and I’m so proud of what we did together and I can’t wait to see how you lead this company forward.

Hope: Ridge, are you saying that you’re stepping down as CEO?

Ridge: No. If anything, I’m stepping up. Um, but I will be here if you need me for anything. I’m– I’m here.

Steffy: Yeah, good, because we still need your leadership.

Ridge: Look around this table. Everyone is committed to making this company the best it can possibly be and that includes me. But now my commitment has to be on the creative side of things. If I don’t design anything, if we don’t have anything to sell, we don’t have a company. I know you. I know what you’re thinking right now. You think that anything I’m shedding, you can pick up and you can run with it. And you probably could. But let’s– let’s be honest with each other. You know what you have to do. You know… what’s on you professionally, personally, and I don’t want to put you in a position where you might drown. I don’t need to do that. Not if we have someone here that can help us. Someone that has worked with us at Forrester for years. All right, I took the liberty of calling our biggest investors, our biggest buyers. I talked to International. And I spoke to them about what we want to do with the bedroom line. And they were, all of them, were very, very excited. But not just about the line, but about… about the person behind the line. The icon behind the line.

Brooke: Ah, Ridge, you didn’t have to do that.

Ridge: This is not– No, I know I didn’t have to do it. But I’m glad I did because it reminded me how important you are to this company. And how missed you are. And how happy everybody would be if you just said yes.

Steffy: Say yes to what?

Ridge: I can’t let this go. I want Brooke to be on the executive team.

Steffy: What?

Ridge: Anything I’m leaving on the table, she can handle.

Steffy: Wait, Dad, you can’t– you can’t be serious. You want Brooke to be our co-CEO?

Ridge: This is not about titles. I don’t care about it. Brooke doesn’t care about it.

Hope: Well, I, for one, think it is a wonderful idea.

Carter: The clientele would love it.

Steffy: Okay, okay. Hold on. Hold on. Let’s– let’s give it a minute, okay? Did you think I would be okay with this? Why wouldn’t you come to me in private? Dad, we’re a team. Brooke and I are… Definitely aren’t. She’s not gonna listen to me. I’m not gonna listen to her. I am not running our family business, Forrester Creations, with Brooke Logan.

[ relaxing music ]

Brooke: Hi, honey.

Hope: Hi.

Brooke: Oh, I got some soup for Beth.

Hope: Oh, thank you.

Brooke: Is she sleeping?

Hope: Yes, she’s still napping, but her fever is better.

Brooke: Good.

Hope: Yeah.

Brooke: And how about you?

Hope: I’m fine, yeah.

Brooke: Yeah? You seem a little flustered.

[ Hope chuckles ]

Brooke: You’re not thinking about Steffy’s husband again, are you?

---

Steffy: Thank you.

Ridge: I’m right about this. It’s a great PR push. Brooke back at the bedroom line.

Steffy: I just don’t think we should be putting Brooke front and center. We need to talk about this before we commit to anything.

Ridge: I’m trying to talk to you about it, but it looks like you’re on a different planet today.

Steffy: I just have a lot of things on my mind, Dad.

Ridge: Can I help?

Steffy: It’s about Hope.

---

[ Deacon chuckles ]

Deacon: Who wouldn’t wanna marry you? You’re the most beautiful bride to ever walk down the aisle.

Sheila: Oh, well, look at that. Not too shabby yourself. Check you out in that suit.

Deacon: I guess I clean up okay.

Sheila: Yeah, but you’re dirty in other departments, my love.

[ Deacon clears throat ]

Deacon: Hey.

Sheila: Whoa, Finn! I– I didn’t see you. We were– It is so good to see you. Look, we’re– we’re looking at wedding pictures.

Finn: Mm.

Sheila: Come on. Come take a look. You know, this is my favorite. I put a heart on it. See the hearts? It’s the one standing next to my husband and you.

Finn: Yeah, no, uh, that’s the one that was posted on the Il Giardino account. I had to explain a lot that day.

Sheila: I really didn’t even think about that, sweetheart. We were– we were just so excited and newlyweds just wanting to blast out the news. And I gotta say, it really did mean the world to us that you were there to share our special day.

---

Sheila: You made our wedding day all the more memorable, Finn.

Finn: Yeah, well, it’s kind of why I’m here.

Deacon: You know what, let’s, uh– let’s not overwhelm Finn with our sappy stroll down memory lane, what do you say?

Sheila: But I’m never gonna forget that. I am never gonna forget seeing you walk through that door.

Finn: Yeah, well, I wasn’t planning on being here. I was coming here to pick up food.

Sheila: Yeah, there are no coincidences in life, okay? Everything happens for a reason.

Finn: Yeah, well, either way, my presence at your wedding caused some serious trouble between Steffy and me.

---

Steffy: Hope is stirring things up again.

Ridge: In what way?

Steffy: I’m just so tired.

Ridge: Listen, the two of you have been knocking horns since you were kids. This is nothing new.

Steffy: I– I’m used to Hope messing with me. I learned not to let her get under my skin. But now she’s involving my husband. She’s encouraging Finn to have a relationship with Sheila. It’s like Hope and Sheila are best friends now, and that is exactly why I don’t want Hope anywhere near my husband.

Brooke: I’m right, aren’t I? Oh, God, honey, Finn’s been on your mind way too much.

Hope: I don’t know what it is.

Brooke: Just snap out of it! You can’t be thinking about Steffy’s husband like this. You do realize that, don’t you?

Hope: Mom, of course I do, and I’m trying my best to put him out of my head, but yes, I– I can’t lie to you. I– I did have a daydream about him.

---

Sheila: I’m sorry that Steffy reacted so negatively to you coming to our wedding.

Finn: Well, this is the one thing she asked me not to do.

Deacon: Yeah, but it wasn’t your fault. You thought we were getting hitched at the beach.

Sheila: Why can’t she just look at something through your perspective once? I mean, she’s got to know how tough all of this is on you. I mean, can’t Steffy just crack the door a little? The possibility that you might be right about me, that– that I have changed?

Finn: I think that’s asking a lot considering your past with Steffy.

Deacon: You know, Sheila’s apologized. She practically begged Steffy for forgiveness.

Sheila: I would do anything, anything to take back the pain that I’ve caused.

Deacon: You know, look, Finn, it’s one thing if Steffy doesn’t have any room in her heart for Sheila, but what’s the harm in letting you see her once in a while?

Sheila: I am not a threat to you. I– I love you and Hayes. I– I would love Steffy if she would let me.

Finn: Well, she won’t.

Deacon: You know, she just wants to be a part of your life in some way.

Finn: I just came here to tell you that I am, I’m happy that you guys are married, and I do wish you all the best. But as far as a relationship with you goes, I have to respect my wife’s wishes.

---

Ridge: How often do Hope and Finn get together?

Steffy: Well, I don’t think they plan it, but it is a lot. They were here in this office the other day.

Ridge: She doesn’t get to do that. She doesn’t get to try to influence Finn. He needs to learn to stay away from Sheila.

Steffy: Well, Hope has a very different opinion. She thinks that I’m wrong telling Finn to stay away from Sheila.

Ridge: She doesn’t get to do that. She doesn’t get to make that call.

Steffy: That we can agree on. That’s why I want Finn to have nothing to do with Hope.

---

Brooke: Oh, honey. You are dreaming about Finn?

Hope: It was a daydream that snuck up on me.

Brooke: It is reckless. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Hope: Well, I’m not going to do anything about it.

Brooke: Well, I hope not. So, what brought this on? What fueled this?

Hope: Well, I– Finn just happened to be here a little earlier.

Brooke: He was here earlier?

Hope: Yes. Beth’s fever spiked. I was really worried because we couldn’t get into the pediatrician until tomorrow, so I called Finn for advice, and then he volunteered to come over and check on her. And Mom… you should’ve seen him with her. I mean, he was just so caring and compassionate.

Brooke: Yes, of course he is, sweetheart. He’s a doctor. That’s what he does. It’s his job. It’s his nature. The way you’re talking, it’s like you’re– you’re falling for Finn. Is that what’s happening here? You really are falling for Steffy’s husband.

---

Deacon: Well, you gotta admit, it was kind of nice of Finn to come down and congratulate us.

Sheila: That was your takeaway from all that?

Deacon: Come on. Look, he could’ve texted. He could’ve called. But instead, he came down in person. You gotta know that you matter to your son. [ Sheila sighs ]

Sheila: I– I know that Finn loves me. He wanted to stay. He wanted to chat, have a glass of– of wine, have a moment with me, his– his mother, with us.

Deacon: Yeah, but you know Steffy would’ve freaked out. She would’ve had him packing his bags.

Sheila: Steffy, Steffy, Steffy. [ Sheila exhales ] I am so sick and tired of hearing about her and– and how she has always gotta be the one calling the shots.

Deacon: Okay, all right. But on some level, you gotta understand, right? You know, who cares, right? So she’s not gonna invite us over for brunch anytime soon. She doesn’t look like she can cook anyway.

Sheila: I hate it. Because I know if it weren’t for Steffy, I would have a future with my son and my grandson. I would have a beautiful future.

---

Steffy: Sheila is a vindictive sociopath. That’s all she is. She’s incapable of being anything else.

Ridge: We’re all on the same page.

Steffy: And there is no room for her in our lives.

Ridge: Of course there’s not.

Steffy: If– if Hope wants to give up any integrity she has left, then fine, she can do it. But do not bring my husband into this.

Ridge: This has nothing to do with them, really. It’s you. Your safety. The kid’s safety.

Steffy: I talked to Brooke. I told her to just please say something to her daughter. Try to find a way to get through to her.

Ridge: Well, I had that same conversation with her.

Steffy: That’s good.

Ridge: I told her I was concerned that Hope was tolerating or maybe even accepting Sheila. [ Steffy sighs ]

Finn: You’re talking about Sheila?

Ridge: Yeah, we’re talking about Sheila and you. You gotta stay away from her.

---

Hope: Finn has been an incredible friend to me. Especially when I’ve needed it most. I mean, we’ve had a lot of great conversations these past few weeks.

Brooke: Okay. Well, you can still talk to him over the phone about medical advice, but that is it. You can’t see him, Hope. I mean, this is crazy. You’re already teetering on the edge.

Hope: You don’t think I feel guilty about how I feel? I don’t want to feel this way, Mom. I– I know right from wrong, and the last thing I wanna do is get anywhere close to Steffy’s husband.

Brooke: I hope you mean that.

Hope: I do.

Brooke: Okay. I just don’t want you to make the same mistakes that I made.

Hope: I won’t. I just… I can’t help but feel that Steffy doesn’t appreciate him. She’s always bossing him around, telling him what to do, forbidding him from seeing his birth mother.

Brooke: Well, she has a valid point. I mean, just because your father married Sheila, it doesn’t make Sheila any less vicious.

Hope: All I am trying to say is that I can see Finn’s point of view. I understand it. Whereas Steffy, I don’t think she’s even trying to make an effort.

Brooke: Okay. Well, it’s a different circumstance. Steffy was shot, right? So you have to think about it from her side. I mean, I usually don’t agree with Steffy, but in this case, I do. I don’t think Finn should be anywhere near his mother.

Hope: Okay, but if Sheila really has changed and the kids are safe and they are protected, then why can’t we let him decide for himself? Why can’t we let him make up his own mind instead of everyone else weighing in? I mean, God, it’s just– You can’t deny that Steffy, she’s controlling him.

Brooke: Oh, honey. That’s their relationship. You need to let them deal with that. You have to stay out of it. Please tell me you understand that.

Hope: My gosh, of course I do, all right? I don’t– I don’t want to be feeling this way. I– I can’t even begin to believe that I’m even attracted to him.

Brooke: Okay, don’t say that out loud.

Hope: I can’t help it, okay? I’ve been trying to fight that feeling. It’s just, can you really blame me? He’s kind. He’s compassionate.

Brooke: Come on.

Hope: No, Mom, okay. I have a crush, right? But it’s a harmless crush. That’s all it is. It’s not going to hurt anyone, and I’m not going to let it go any further than that.

Brooke: Okay, well, you– you can’t.

Hope: I won’t. I will put a stop to these feelings before they get any more out of control.

Finn: Ridge really doesn’t mince his words, does he?

Steffy: I didn’t mean to be talking about you behind your back.

Finn: He’s your dad, right? It comes with the territory. Of course you’re gonna confide in him.

Steffy: Yeah, we’re just really concerned about Sheila. We always will be.

Finn: Honey, I know how you feel, okay? And I don’t like keeping things from you. I stopped by Il Giardino earlier. No, it’s not what you think. Sweetheart, I told Sheila that being at her wedding really upset you, and I made it clear to her that you, you are my priority. I mean, my wife and children.

Steffy: I– I appreciate that. I just wish you would avoid Sheila altogether.

Finn: I felt like I needed to talk to her face-to-face so she’d take me seriously and understand that there’s no changing my mind.

Steffy: I get that. But you have to realize when you go to see Sheila and you tell her that you need distance from her, you are sending her mixed signals.

Finn: Well, that’s never my intention.

Steffy: Babe, I– I get it. But Sheila is a psychopath. She’s a stalker. She perceives things differently.

Finn: You’re right. I guess I didn’t consider that, but I do think that I got through to her. She has to know now. She has to know how– how important you are to me. How much I love you.

Steffy: I love you too. I love you so much. And we’re so blessed. We have so many amazing things in our lives. Except Sheila. I mean, she is the source of any of our conflicts. I just wish she wasn’t in our life.

Finn: Well, she doesn’t have to be, right? Not anymore.

Steffy: Yeah, I pray that you’re right. But… I don’t think Sheila’s ever gonna wanna stay away from you. I don’t. And now Hope’s involving herself. I mean, that girl is just getting on my nerves. She is telling me that I can’t say anything to my husband about staying away from Sheila. It’s ridiculous and it’s extremely frustrating.

Finn: Hey. Come here. Listen. Honey… don’t worry about Hope, okay? She’s not gonna be a problem for us. [ Steffy sighs ]

---

Deacon: Well, hey there, Brooke. Fancy meeting you here. Did you come to congratulate me?

Brooke: Uh, yeah, no, I wouldn’t go that far. But I am worried about you, Deacon.

Deacon: Worried about me? Well, don’t be. I’m great. Hell, I’m better than great. I gotta tell you, it really meant the world to me that Hope came to the wedding.

Brooke: Hmm. I wasn’t thrilled about her appearance there. Actually, I haven’t been really thrilled about a lot of her decisions lately.

Deacon: What do you mean?

Brooke: Nothing.

Deacon: No, no, no. What– what were you alluding to there? Is Hope in some kind of trouble?

Brooke: No. No, it’s just… uh… Never mind.

Deacon: Brooke, if something is going on with Hope, I need to know. Please tell me. Come on. I mean, Hope’s everything to me.

Brooke: Okay, um… You can’t say a word to anybody.

Deacon: Okay, now I’m really getting concerned.

Brooke: I know. Don’t worry. It’s just maybe things have been handled and there won’t be an issue.

Deacon: What won’t be an issue?

Brooke: Our daughter is having feelings for an inappropriate man.

Deacon: Who?

Brooke: Steffy’s husband.

Deacon: Steffy’s husband?

Brooke: Don’t say it so loud. Calm down.

Deacon: Hope’s got the hots for Finn?

Brooke: Yeah, they’ve been spending a lot of time together and bonding over their mutual support of you and Sheila.

Deacon: Wait a second. They haven’t…

Brooke: No, God, no.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: Nothing like that.

Deacon: I mean, does Finn know how Hope feels about him?

Brooke: He thinks they’re just friends. They do spend a lot of time together. They talk to each other a lot. They confide in each other. And Hope feels that Steffy shouldn’t kick Sheila out of Finn’s life.

Deacon: Gotta agree with our daughter there.

Brooke: Okay, regardless, Hope can’t get involved in this. I mean, she knows she can’t have anything to do with Finn.

Deacon: I mean, obviously, but you’re worried thinking that Hope’s got feelings for Finn.

Brooke: Yeah.

---

Hope: You can’t be feeling this way. That’s Steffy’s husband.

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: I’m concerned, brooke. Legitimately concerned.

Brooke: About hope? What’s there to be concerned about?

Steffy: You don’t find it a little strange? That hope is spending so much time with finn.

Hope: You really have no idea just how grateful I am that you were able to swing by and check in on beth.

Finn: No, it’s– it can be scary when your child spikes a fever like that.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. She had chills. She was achy. I was lethargic. I couldn’t believe that we couldn’t get in to see a doctor until tomorrow, so… it’s a huge relief that you were able to stop by and help out, and now my daughter is sleeping peacefully in the next room, thanks to you.

Finn: Well, maybe. I mean, it’S…

Hope: You know you can take a compliment.

Finn: Yeah, okay, fine. Yes, you’re very welcome. And look, you– never hesitate to call me about that kind of thing, you know.

Hope: Well, I appreciate it. And I appreciate you.

Poppy: I can’t believe how everything changed for me recently. Like, am I really living here?

Bill: The last time I checked.

Poppy: But how crazy, right? Everything changed for me overnight. You are luna’s father. I have a co-parent now, who insisted we move into his house. His unbelievably ginormous house.

Bill: Well, don’t get used to it. I wanna whisk you away, remember? My yacht?

Poppy: Oh, yes, that’s right. What was her name again? It was the, uh, the stella…

Bill: The stella maris. Can’t wait for you to see her.

Poppy: Me neither. It’s like I walked into a dream. I mean, to think how differently life would’ve been if you and I had met up again years earlier. We could’ve raised luna together. Here, just– the thought of it. Well, you know what? Never mind what could’ve been. The thought of what’s to come. Hm?

Katie: Oh! Sorry. Um… alfred at the guard shack let me in. I guess I should’ve called first.

Bill: Katie, hi.

Katie: So, um, I hear congratulations are in order.

Bill: Yes, katie, congratulations are definitely in order. I’m luna’s father.

Poppy: Bill and I have a daughter.

Brooke: Oh, what’s wrong with hope and finn spending time together? I mean, they’re friends. That’s what friends do.

Steffy: It’s more than that and you know it.

Brooke: I don’t know what you’re implying, steffy.

Steffy: The connection that they have? Her father is married to his birth mother, and now they’re going to weddings together, funerals together.

Brooke: Oh. Yeah, you’re right. They have a connection that way.

Steffy: Hope has zero common sense. If she did, then she wouldn’t be letting deacon sway her opinion about sheila. I– I don’t need this type of energy.

Hope: I just think that maybe steffy doesn’t appreciate what she has in finn.

Brooke: Be honest with me. More importantly, be honest with yourself. Are you having feelings for steffy’s husband?

Steffy: Hello? Are you even hearing me right now? I need your daughter to keep her feelings to herself.

Finn: I’d say her fever’s definitely broken.

Hope: That is such a relief. Thank you again, finn, for coming over like this on such short notice. I know you didn’t have to.

Finn: No, I didn’t have to. I wanted to. I could hear how concerned you were.

Hope: For the record, I am not usually such a panicky parent, but with how bad her fever was and then her being all lethargic, I just…

Finn: I would’ve panicked, too, okay? And I’m a doctor. It’s all good.

Hope: And a very good one at that, by the way. I mean, look at you, curing headaches, taking down fevers. I mean, what can’t you fix?

Finn: Well, it’s one of the benefits of working the er. I mean, eventually you will see everything. And I mean, everything.

Hope: Oh, I bet you have some stories.

Finn: Yeah, but I’m always glad when they have happy endings, like today, with beth on the mend.

Hope: No, that’s all thanks to you, dr. Finnegan.

[Coughing]

Katie: I’m just trying to figure out why you’re just learning that luna is your daughter now. I mean, I guess I can kind of understand why you wouldn’t wanna track him down, but you’ve been reacquainted for a while.

Poppy: Yes, but I didn’t know.

Katie: Oh, right, right. But you suspected?

Bill: I asked poppy about it. Poppy started to put the timing together, but she denied it.

Katie: Yeah, I don’t get that. Why would you do that?

Bill: She was afraid.

Katie: Afraid of what?

Bill: Her love for me.

Katie: Oh.

Steffy: Did you hear me, brooke? I’m not comfortable with your daughter spending so much time with my husband.

Brooke: I think you’re taking it too far. Banning us from being friendly with finn.

Steffy: Okay, if anyone thinks sheila should be out of prison, should be banned. Period. The end. Logan or not.

Brooke: I don’t think hope was saying that. She was just saying it’s possible that sheila’s changed. Keeping an open mind isn’t like being her advocate.

Steffy: Okay. Would you keep an open mind?

Brooke: No.

Steffy: Of course not, because you know sheila is a psychopath. Look, if you wanna be friends with finn, fine. I don’t care, but not hope. Not when she’s being manipulated by deacon and sheila. I don’t want her anywhere near finn. I don’t want her influence on him. The last thing I need is hope to get into my husband’s head.

Finn: Remember to keep her hydrated. Something with electrolytes. If– if you don’t have that, just plenty of water is fine. And don’t let her overdo it the rest of the day, even if she claims that she’s now feeling back to normal.

Hope: Okay, and if the fever returns?

Finn: It shouldn’T. I mean, as long as you keep alternating those two meds like you have been. But look, if she starts getting some chills or some aches and pains again, just don’t hesitate. Give me a call. It’s fine.

Hope: No, I– I couldn’T. You’ve already done more than enough.

Finn: No, seriously. I don’t mind in the least. I’m a dad, okay? I understand how stressful it can be when your kids aren’t feeling well.

Hope: Tell me about it. I mean, when it comes to me, I barely acknowledge it, but if it’s beth or douglas, I mean, stop everything. I– I– I will happily get a migraine every day if it means that beth does not have to have that kind of fever again.

Finn: Okay, well, if either of those happen, I’m here to help.

Hope: Luckily for us. You really are a miracle worker, finn.

Finn: I– I wouldn’t say that.

Hope: I would. People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Katie: Wow, we’re already using the l-word, I see.

Poppy: Maybe you think it’s too soon, but–

Katie: No, no, no, I didn’t say that. I mean, I’m not judging. It’s just, um, interesting.

Poppy: Well, how could I not love bill? He’s a remarkable man. And the father of my child.

Katie: And your new roomie. I hear that you asked luna and poppy to move in.

Bill: I did.

Katie: You’re ready for that.

Bill: Wouldn’t have asked otherwise.

Katie: Well, look at you. A whole new family.

Steffy: Finn already has complicated feelings towards his birth mother. And now hope wants to get in his ear and say, you ought to give your birth mother a chance. Like, that is absolutely ridiculous.

Brooke: If she were doing that, I would agree with you. But I haven’t heard her say anything of the kind.

Steffy: She’s implying it. All this talk of how sheila’s changed.

Brooke: Maybe she’s changed. That is what she said.

Steffy: Oh, it’s a slippery slope, brooke.

Brooke: Sheila is on her best behavior right now. That is why finn and hope are reacting to her this way. But the second sheila slips up and does something stupid, of course, they’re not gonna trust her.

Steffy: So, what are we supposed to do? Just sit around and wait for something terrible to happen? So someone could get hurt? Someone could die. I mean, god forbid something happens to hope. Or beth. That is why you need to talk to your daughter. I mean, you’re her mother. She will listen to you. You just gotta get through to her. Convince hope that she is not thinking clearly.

Hope: Well, hopefully, this doesn’t get you into any kind of trouble.

Finn: Trouble?

Hope: Well, with steffy. I’m sure she probably wouldn’t be thrilled about you even being here.

Finn: Don’t worry. I mean, we all care about beth. We want beth to be okay.

Hope: And she is now. Thanks to you.

Finn: Okay. Uh, well, if you don’t have any other questions, I should, uh, probably get going.

Hope: Well, I do have one question, which is how on earth do I repay you?

Finn: No, hope, don’t be silly, come on.

Hope: No, really, finn. I mean, you’ve been so amazing and I am so grateful. And I just– I wanna know how I can make it up to you. So, seriously, anything, if you ever need anything, just please let me know, okay? You’ve shown such care and support and it just– it has meant a lot. Especially as of late with everything going on. So, thank you. And, uh, I don’t know, just continue to prove that you’re such an incredible man. So, thanks.

Finn: Okay. (Male vo) kate made progress with her mental health,

Bill: Look, katie, I was planning on telling you about poppy moving in. It wasn’t my intention to keep it a secret.

Katie: Well, you don’t owe me an explanation. I mean, it’s not really any of my business. I just– I was a bit taken aback when I walked in here the other day and found poppy and luna making themselves right at home.

Bill: Well, it– it is definitely your business. It affects will. And I realize we have to have a conversation with him explaining all of this.

Poppy: Luna’s really looking forward to meeting her brother.

Katie: Well, I’m sure he’ll be looking forward to meeting luna after he gets over the shock.

Bill: I’m– I’m still getting over the shock myself. I mean, I have a daughter. And it’s all thanks to poppy.

Brooke: I don’t know what you think I can say to hope.

Steffy: Tell her that this is insane! That she is being manipulated by sheila and deacon. And this situation could be really dangerous. She needs to think about her family. I mean, that’s what I’m doing. That’s why I don’t want hope anywhere near finn. Can you just try to talk some sense into hope? That’s all I’m asking.

Brooke: Oh, my god. Listen, this is steffy’s husband you’re talking about.

Hope: I know, and I’m not going after him, mom. I’m not. He just happens to be one of the best men I’ve ever met.

Brooke: You can’t knowingly go after steffy’s husband. And it just feels like this could get out of hand without you even intending to. Just be careful. Don’t let your heart rule your head, okay?

Hope: Okay.

Brooke: I am trying, steffy. Believe me. It’s just a little more complicated than you think.

Hope: Thank you. And, uh, I don’t know, just continue to prove that you’re such an incredible man. So, thanks.

Finn: Okay.

[ Knock on door ]

Finn: Hey.

Hope: Finn, hi.

Finn: I, um, I forgot my phone. You– you mind?

Hope: No, of course. Come in. I, um, I’m actually glad you stopped by. It gives me a chance to, well, to tell you something that I have… um… been feeling for a while now.

Finn: Okay.

Hope: I just– I need you to– to really understand just how big of an impact you have had on my life, and I don’t just mean coming here today and helping out with beth or my migraines or any of that. It’s, um… it’s much more than that. Much more.

Finn: How so?

Hope: Well, I just– I think I understand you. And I feel like you understand me too. But I also have to thank you for just showing me how a man should be.

Finn: Hm.

Hope: You know, loyal, forthright, committed, caring, compassionate, loving. And I just… I know I shouldn’T. But I can’t– I can’t help it. I… I can’t stop thinking about you. Dreaming about you and… wanting you. Please tell me you feel that way too.

Hope: What am I doing? This is wrong again. He’s steffy’s husband.

Steffy: Here’s a look at what’s ahead…

Poppy: I was just hoping that we can finally move past conflict.

Hope: I have a crush.

Brooke: Well, you– you can’T.

Hope: I will put a stop to these feelings.

Ridge: I want brooke to be on the executive team.

Steffy: I’m not running our family company with brooke logan.

[ Mellow music ]

Brooke: Beth stayed home from day camp?

Hope: Yes. A few of the kids, uh, got the flu and I think she might have it too.

Brooke: Oh, no. Poor thing. Does she have a fever?

Hope: And she’s achy, so I’m keeping a very close eye on her.

Brooke: Can I go see her?

Hope: Could it wait until a little later? She just drifted off right before you got here and she didn’t sleep well last night so I just…

Brooke: You didn’t sleep well either, did you?

Hope: No. You know how it is when your child is sick. You just wanna be right there for them.

Brooke: Yes, I remember it well.

Hope: So, mom, what is the reason you came to see me?

Brooke: Uh, we didn’t really get to finish our conversation yesterday. You had to run out. And I couldn’t believe some of the things that you were confiding in me. You have feelings for finn?

Hope: I… I just think he is one of the most amazing men that I have ever met, that’s all.

Brooke: Honey, he is also steffy’s husband.

Hope: I know that, mom. I am well aware. I just– I don’t think she appreciates him in the way that he deserves to be appreciated. And honestly, I don’t think he is that happy with steffy.

Steffy: What did I just walk in on? Answer me, hope.

Finn: Hey, you. I have a free morning. I’d love to spend it with my beautiful sexy wife.

Steffy: Well, I’d love that too, but duty calls, I’m afraid.

Finn: Hm. You have to go to the office?

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, I have, um, back to back meetings.

Finn: Hm.

Steffy: Tonight.

Finn: Tonight.

Steffy: Look, there is something I do wanna talk about quickly.

Finn: Okay, what’s that?

Steffy: I wanna clarify our discussion yesterday. About hope.

Carter: Okay, I’ll get the revised budget figures for you and steffy right away.

Ridge: What about hope for the future? Any news on that?

Carter: No, there’s still time for a turnaround.

Ridge: All right, is hope in? I’d love to talk to her about it.

Carter: I haven’t seen her, but if and when I do, I’ll let her know you’re looking for her.

Ridge: Thank you.

Carter: You know, you’re pretty fired up today, ridge. Juggling different things. I gotta say, you’re not acting like a guy who wants to concentrate more on designing. Having second thoughts?

Ridge: No, no, my plan is still my plan. With a very particular caveat.

Carter: This caveat you mentioned?

Ridge: I still wanna step away from the administrative stuff and do more of design, but I don’t want all that to land on steffy.

Carter: Okay, in the meantime, if you need me to step up.

Ridge: You’ve got enough to do already. Somebody different.

Carter: Okay, so are you gonna bring in someone new to work with you and steffy?

Ridge: Not new. Someone who’s been with this company almost as long as I have.

Carter: Brooke?

Ridge: Is there anyone better?

Carter: Brooke’s a great choice. Have you run it by her?

Ridge: Yeah. And she turned me down.

Carter: Hm.

Steffy: I really don’t wanna keep having this conversation. You know where I stand when it comes to hope.

Finn: Yeah, I do. And I respect your feelings.

Steffy: I know that. And you’re a giving, generous, trusting guy.

Finn: You think she’s manipulating me?

Steffy: I mean, she’s used men in the past. Thomas. Liam.

Finn: And now me.

Steffy: All I’m saying is hope is really confused right now.

Finn: Hm.

Steffy: So, the less time you spend with hope, the better.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: Love you.

Finn: I love you too.

Brooke: Finn is steffy’s husband. You can’t be talking or feeling this way.

Hope: How can I help it? I mean, he’s brought so much into my life. We relate on this whole other level. He’s easy to talk to and…

Brooke: Well, that’s good. That’s wonderful. That you have somebody you can confide in. A friend that you can open up to. But that’s all it is, honey. You can’t knowingly go after steffy’s husband.

Hope: And I would never do that, nor would I want to, because I’m not a homewrecker.

Brooke: Good. I hope you wouldn’t because there are children involved. And it just feels like this could get out of hand without you even intending to. And I don’t want that to happen to you, sweetheart. Okay? Now, I gotta run, because ridge wants to talk to me for some reason. So, I’m gonna go. But just be careful. Don’t let your heart rule your head, okay?

Hope: Okay. I’m gonna come back and check on beth later.

Beth: Mama. I feel worse.

Hope: Oh, my sweetie.

Beth: I’m more achy and super hot.

Hope: Oh, honey. I think it’s time we go to the doctor.

Beth: I don’t feel good enough to go.

Hope: Come here.

The power of a skin filler

Hope: Here you go, honey. Just relax. Oh, sweetie, you’re shivering.

Beth: I’m achy, too.

Hope: I know, honey. I’m sorry.

Beth: What’s wrong with me?

Hope: Well, I think you might have the flu. You– hi. Yes. Yes. Okay. So, no availability until tomorrow. Okay. All right. Yes. Thank you. So, the doctor can’t see you until tomorrow. But don’t worry. Mommy has an idea. Hi, finn. Yes, it’s– it’s me. I was actually hoping to get some of your advice.

Finn: What’s, uh, what’s up?

Hope: Well, it’s beth. Uh, she has a fever, chills, she’s achy, and the doctor can’t see her until tomorrow and I’m a little worried.

Finn: Um, are you– are you alone?

Hope: Yes, my mom was here a little earlier, but I don’t know, do you think it can wait? Or should I go to urgent care?

Finn: No, no, no, look, don’t– don’t worry about it. I’ll, um, I can come over.

Hope: Finn, you don’t have to do that.

Finn: No, it’s– it’s fine. I insist. I’ll leave right now. Won’t be long.

Hope: Thank you.

Finn: Okay.

Hope: All right, sweetie, you don’t have to worry. Finn is on his way.

Carter: Perfect.

Ridge: I mean this is good. We can do better on this one. Thank you. All right. I guess I put the cart before the horse a little that time.

Carter: That’s exactly what you did. Instead of going to steffy first and floating the idea of brooke coming on board, you just–

Ridge: All right.

Carter: Yeah. Well?

Ridge: Well, what? Well, the truth is, I knew steffy was gonna have a problem with brooke doing this, so I thought I’d ask her first. If she agreed, I figured they would just, you know, they’d work through it and do what’s best for the company. Hey, how are you? We were just talking about you.

Brooke: All good things, I hope.

Ridge: Of course.

Carter: Yeah, ridge was telling me how you nixed his offer to take on more slack so he can do his thing with couture.

Brooke: Oh, yes, I’m afraid so. Although, I hope he doesn’t feel like I deserted him in his time of need.

Ridge: No, he doesn’t feel that at all. And he also thinks that, um, he has not given up completely on you.

Brooke: Oh, ridge.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: Hello, everyone. Brooke, what are you doing here?

Finn: Hey, beth. How you doing? How you feeling?

Beth: Not so good.

Finn: Not so good? You have, um, you have some chills, some body aches. Yeah? Can I– can I touch your forehead? Let’s see here. Oh, yeah, you are– you are burning up. Definitely sounds like the flu.

Beth: That’s what mommy says.

Finn: Did she? Well, your mom is a smart lady. But, look, I brought over some medicine that’ll get you feeling better in no time. Does that sound good? Okay, good.

I thought I was sleeping ok…

Finn: There, see, warrior. You’re very brave, beth.

Beth: Didn’t hurt even a little.

Finn: Hey.

Hope: Yeah, I told you dr. Finn knows what he’s doing. So, uh, do you think it will help?

Finn: Yeah, I mean, it’s not always the remedy, but in her case, I think the vitamins and the mild steroid will lessen the symptoms pretty quickly. But for you, the big question is… which one of these?

Beth: Hm… that one.

Finn: This one right here? Good call. That’s my favorite, too. But you need to do me a favor, okay, beth? I need you to drink plenty of water and the juice that your mom has been giving you. Let’s put this right here. And take your medicine and get plenty of rest, okay? I need you to rest your body.

Beth: I will.

Finn: Okay, good. You do your part and I’ll do my part, and we’ll have you back to your old self in no time.

Hope: There you go, sweetie.

Ridge: I asked brooke to join me here.

Brooke: Only he still hasn’t told me why.

Carter: Does this have to do with what we were just talking about?

Sheila: Which was what, exactly?

Ridge: This is about the impact that brooke has had on forrester creations. We need to try to capitalize on that again.

Brooke: What do you mean?

Steffy: Capitalize how?

Ridge: Well, the bedroom line. We need to highlight brooke the way that we used to when we first started it, right? You– you need to create a buzz that no one else can.

Steffy: Okay, highlight how? What are you suggesting?

Ridge: Photo shoots. Do– do a campaign with you front and center.

Brooke: Uh, uh, ridge, I don’t know about this.

Ridge: Well, I know about it. More than that, I know what we need to get to. We need to get back to this.

Brooke: So that’s what you’ve been thinking about at work.

Ridge: Yeah, sometimes. A lot. But it’s about you. You like being in front of the camera, right?

Brooke: Yes, but that was a long time ago. I’m a grandmother now.

Carter: You’re not like any grandmother I know.

Ridge: Easy, carter. Geez. But he’s right. You’re not like any grandmother anybody knows. Because you’re timeless, you’re ageless, you’re sexy and alluring and as provocative as you were the first day I met you. Maybe more so. So what do you think? It’s time. Step out of the shadows, onto the runway, in front of the cameras, and give the people what they want. Make the bedroom line yours again.

Hope: Looks like your fever’s starting to go down.

Finn: You feeling better, kiddo?

Beth: Uh-huh. I’m not as shaky and achy.

Finn: Okay, well that’s awesome. That means you are on the road to recovery.

Hope: Why don’t you drink a little more juice, okay?

Finn: Yeah. You’re a star patient. Just keep it up, okay?

Beth: I will.

Finn: You promise? Pinky promise? Okay, good.

Hope: You know what? I think it might be time for bed again so you can get some rest.

Finn: Hm, good idea, mom. Want me to airlift you there?

Beth: Yes, please.

Finn: Yes? All right. Come on. Let’s get you back into bed.

Beth: Thank you, dr. Finn. You’re the best.

Finn: Oh. No problem. Anytime. ()

Ridge: Hey. You said you wanted to be more involved in the company. This is a perfect way to do it.

Brooke: I do. But I’m too old.

Ridge: You got to– stop saying that. It’s ridiculous. You’re very lucky there’s people in this room or I would show you how sexy I think you are. We need to shine some light on the bedroom line and you’re the one to do it.

Carter: Sounds like you’ve given this a lot of thought, ridge.

Ridge: I have. And not just this. I– I– I put together a whole retrospective of you and your best moments here at forrester. You wanna see it?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Can you get the lights, please?

[ Crowd cheering ]

Ridge: Magic. That’s what you bring to the bedroom line. Carter, can you get the lights, please? See, people can’t take their eyes off of you. I can’t take my eyes off of you. You’re just hitting your stride. You have so much more to give to forrester, to the fashion world. So, what do you say?

Brooke: I still have a lot of questions about how this will work. But, yes. I will do it.

Ridge: Yes?

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: I’m so happy. Thank you.

Brooke: Yes. Thank you.

Hope: Oh, I’m gonna just check on beth again real fast, but, um, thank you again for coming.

Finn: Oh, yes. Um, my pleasure.

Hope: Tea, on the house.

Steffy: Brooke, isn’t there somewhere you need to be?

Brooke: Are you trying to get rid of me?

Steffy: No. No, it’s just my father and carter, they had another meeting, so I assumed that you’D…

Brooke: So I guess I should be on my way as well. Look, steffy, I know you’re not thrilled about your father’s idea of rebooting the bedroom line.

Steffy: Honestly, no, but I am a professional and I will make the best decisions for this company.

Brooke: And threatening to kill hope for the future wasn’t one of them.

Steffy: Look, I am more concerned about hope than her line. Specifically, her spending so much time with my husband.

Finn: How’s the patient?

Hope: Sleeping peacefully, thank goodness. And I took her temperature and her fever is definitely starting to go down.

Finn: Good. When she wakes up, she’ll be back to her old self.

Hope: Yeah, I have to admit, I was starting to get worried. Just how bad she was feeling.

Finn: That’s why the doctor came over.

Hope: Thank you. I know I keep thanking you a lot, but just seeing you with beth and how much better you made her feel and how much better you made her mother feel, it just– it’s just a reminder of what an incredible man you are.

[ Upbeat music ]

Brooke: Hope, you didn’t answer my question. Are you having feelings for finn?

Hope: Where is this coming from? All I said is that finn is a great guy.

Brooke: It’s the way you said it. I can hear it in your voice. Honey, just be honest with me. Are you falling for steffy’s husband?

Steffy: Hope is incredibly toxic. The fact that she’s trying to support you having a relationship with sheila just shows you how delusional hope is. And sheila’s only playing nice because she married her father.

Finn: Look, I– honey, I understand your frustration, but I don’t– I don’t think that’s the way hope feels. And I have to say, she has been very kind to me.

Steffy: You have to trust me, finn. I’m more experienced with hope than you are. You need to keep your distance from hope.

Liam: Well, tracey, this is– this is so appreciated. You– you probably just saved us from a pr nightmare, so.

Tracey: Just doing what you hired me for. Mitigating any unwanted surprises.

Bill: Yeah, we don’t want any of those at spencer. Although sometimes they can be the best part of life. Unexpected surprises.

Poppy: Bill was so happy to learn that luna’s his daughter and he’s fully embraced her into his life and the two of us into his home.

Luna: I know it’s a lot to take in.

Poppy: Katie, I really value and respect your opinion. Look, you may not be married to bill anymore, but you’re still an important person in his life. It would really mean a lot if you could give my daughter and me your blessing.

Liam: Thank you so much again, tracey. We’ll be in touch. And as always, validation’s on him. Take care.

Bill: What?

Liam: What? What was that? You– you– you– talk to me, okay? We’re in a meeting and you’re talking all this about unexpected surprises. You wait until it’s just you and me. Talk to me.

Bill: About what?

Liam: Oh, that’s cute. That’s so cute. Uh, luna.

Bill: All right, look. What do you want me to say? You know how I feel about her.

Liam: Well, I know how you felt about her the last time we did this, but I don’t know. Maybe– maybe the euphoria has subsided a little bit. You’ve gotten some perspective. How do you feel now about poppy giving you a daughter?

Katie: I don’t really know you all that well, poppy, but I think very highly of luna. She’s been a great addition to forrester and you’ve become very important to my nephew.

Poppy: Well, you’ve all made a very profound impact on my daughter.

Katie: Not as big an impact as you’ve made on bill, apparently. Bill and I haven’t had a chance to discuss this, so I was hoping he would be here. And this is big, surprising news. And it doesn’t just affect your lives, but… it affects my son will’s life as well.

Finn: I love you for being so protective. And look, I hear your concerns with hope. All right, you’re right, I– I don’t know the logans as well as you do.

Steffy: Thank you.

Finn: And seriously, there is nothing you need to worry about when it comes to hope and me.

Brooke: I am not judging you or accusing you of anything.

Hope: Well it certainly feels like it.

Brooke: Please, honey, just tell me. Are you developing feelings for finn?

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: Okay, you want the truth, mom? Yes, I am starting to… care more about finn.

Brooke: Huh.

Did you know…

Bill: When I first looked at the paternity test results, it was like time stood still. I mean, I was speechless.

Liam: Well, I mean, you speechless, that’s– that’s saying something.

Bill: I know, right?

Luna: What? What is it? That’s– that’s two stripes. That means that– that means you’re my dad. I can’t believe it.

Poppy: It’s true. You are luna’s father. Oh, baby. You finally got your answer. Bill is your father.

Bill: Well, uh, I guess it’s time we have our first official family hug.

Liam: What a– what a life-changing moment.

Bill: Truly. And I feel so blessed. You know, my greatest joy in life, well, other than hostile takeovers, crushing the competition, making mounds of money…

Liam: Sure.

Bill: …Are my kids. You, wyatt and will.

Liam: And now, you’ve got a daughter.

Bill: And you have a sister.

Liam: Ah.

[ Both chuckling ]

Luna: You know, I’m still trying to process all of this, too. It’s always just been my mom and me, and now I finally have a dad and a whole extended family, and I can’t believe I have brothers. And I can’t wait to meet will, and, um, I’m sure it’ll be a little bit awkward in the beginning, but I think with time it’ll– it’ll be okay.

[ Cell phone chimes ]

Luna: Oh, it’s rj. Um, I really should get going. He’s still trying to wrap his head around the fact that bill’s my dad, too, so bye.

Katie: Bye.

Katie: You have a lovely daughter.

Poppy: Thank you. I mean, like we said, this is a lot to take in, and I’m sure that you and bill have a lot to discuss, but… as I said, he isn’t home right now. I can let him know you stopped by.

Katie: I’m sorry, are you telling me to leave?

Steffy: Hope doesn’t worry me. She bothers me. She’s passing judgment on my feelings about your relationship with sheila, the woman who terrorized us.

Finn: Well, I think hope, she’s just trying to help.

Steffy: She can’t even help herself. I mean, her marriage ended, thomas and douglas left, hope for the future is sinking, her father married a psychopath, and you think that she has enough on her plate for you? You don’t really think this is coming from a place of jealousy or insecurity, right?

Finn: No, I don’T. I don’T.

Steffy: I do feel very uncomfortable with you hanging around hope, especially with her behavior lately. I mean, you see the way she used thomas to cope with her divorce from liam, and now she sees the good in sheila, and she supports you having a relationship with her? Hope’s lost, and when she’s lost, she’s reckless.

Brooke: You’re starting to care about finn.

Hope: Well, how can I not? He’s become a very, very good friend to me, and look at how he is with people. He’s compassionate, he’s caring, he wants the best for people, even when it’s difficult.

Brooke: Like with sheila?

Hope: Exactly, like with sheila. I mean, what kind of man has that capacity for understanding, for forgiveness? I mean, it makes sense why he’s such an amazing doctor. I mean, he’s– he’s even helped me recently.

Brooke: Helped you? How? Are you a patient of finn’s? Hope?

Upset stomach

Liam: Well, I am really happy for you, because I can see how captivated you are, not just with luna, but with her mother, poppy.

Bill: She is something else.

Liam: Yeah, she better be something else. If you had one night together 20 years ago, and there’s still this– this spark.

Bill: No, it’s more than a spark, liam. It’s like we are frozen in time. I mean, I– I look at poppy and I still see that same young woman that just took my breath away at that music festival. What?

Liam: Can I tell you how much it delights me to picture you at a music festival? Did you use lights?

Bill: Don’t do it. Don’t do it, I will choke you with your own tie.

Liam: Fair enough.

Bill: Now, can we just be serious for a minute? You understand that poppy didn’t just give me memories. She gave me a daughter that night. It’s incredible.

Liam: I know. Speaking of, there is another woman in la who gave you a child. Have you, um, have you spoken to katie at all about luna and poppy?

Poppy: Katie, I would never ask you to leave. You’re a part of this family too.

Katie: Glad to hear it.

Poppy: I don’t want there to be tension between us. I mean, our kids are siblings. We’re family now. And I know it’s gonna take some getting used to. This used to be your home, but… now it’s mine. I know there’s gonna be an adjustment, but I truly hope to become good friends. Now as you can imagine, I do have a million things to do around here. I mean, this place could definitely use a woman’s touch. And honestly, I just assumed that you’d wanna be on your way since bill isn’t here. But as I said, I will let him know that you stopped by. Although, I’m certain that he’ll just wanna be alone with luna and me.

Steffy: Hope has zero self-awareness. You saw it with my brother when she lost liam. And now she lost thomas and douglas. And she doesn’t wanna lose her dad. So what does she do?

Finn: She becomes accepting of sheila.

Steffy: Hope’s standards and beliefs, they sway like the wind. I mean, one minute she hates sheila, and the next she’s trying to convince you to go to her wedding.

Finn: Okay, look, you may have a point, but would that not be a great reason to feel for hope instead of criticizing her? Look, maybe she needs our help.

Brooke: You’ve been seeing finn as a patient?

Hope: Well, no, not officially.

Brooke: Are you sick?

Hope: No, I just– I’ve been getting these headaches. I think they’re migraines.

Brooke: Oh, I had no idea.

Hope: Yeah, I was with finn when one of them came on and he thinks it is due to stress.

Brooke: So, did he prescribe you something?

Hope: No, but, uh… let’s just say finn has healing hands.

[]

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: I’m only asking if you’ve talked to katie about– about luna and poppy because it affects will.

Bill: Yes, I realize that. And no, I haven’t talked to katie yet.

Liam: Dad.

Bill: Will you relax? I’ve been very wrapped up in luna and poppy and I just– I haven’t had a chance to talk to katie. I’ll talk to her.

Katie: I’m sure that you, bill and luna, have a lot to make up for.

Poppy: We do.

Katie: But you have to understand that for the sake of my son, it’s important that bill and I discuss this. It’s a priority.

Poppy: Yes, and– and I agree. It’s important for bill and you to discuss how to approach this with will. I just didn’t want you to get your hopes up that it would happen today.

Katie: Because bill will be busy with you.

Poppy: I am certain that bill can’t wait to be alone with luna and me. And just like you said, we have a lot of time to make up for. And I’m really eager to do that.

Katie: I imagine you are.

Steffy: You wanna help hope?

Finn: Look, she’s been stressed out lately.

Steffy: And how do you know that?

Finn: She’s opened up to me a little bit.

Steffy: What did she say?

Finn: Well, basically everything you just said. You’re right, she’s– she’s been having a hard time. And look, I’m– I’m not gonna pretend to even remotely understand the dynamics, but… the problems you have with each other, it didn’t start with you two. All right, it was brooke and stephanie and then brooke and your mom, and like… honey, the rivalry between your two families started before you guys were even born. I mean, who’s next? Kelly and beth?

Steffy: What, no.

Finn: Well, it could be. If we’re not careful, I mean, that’s the cycle, right? That’s why I’m lobbying for some peace and harmony between you two. I mean… honey, we are one big, extended family. And we have a lot to be grateful for. That’s what we need to focus on. And look, you don’t need to worry about hope, okay? She is not influencing me. Okay?

Steffy: Okay.

Brooke: Finn has healing hands?

Hope: Well–

Brooke: How did you know that, hope?

Hope: He gave me a massage.

Brooke: He what?

Hope: Well, it was, you know, like temples, sinuses, like this little squishy thing right here. It was, uh, pressure point therapy for my migraines. And it was like the minute his hands touched me, I felt such relief. I mean, it was amazing.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Hope: No, no, it’s not like that, mom. It’s not like that, okay? We are just very good friends. And I– I don’t want to see him being controlled or bossed around by steffy. I… I feel bad for him, mom.

Brooke: Their relationship is their business, okay?

Hope: Okay, but should I just stand by as a friend is getting taken advantage of? I mean, he’s being undervalued by the one person who is supposed to love him the most. And I… I’m not even sure steffy really understands him.

Brooke: And you do.

Hope: You know, I– I think I do. Finn trusts me. He confides in me.

Brooke: He confides in you?

Hope: Well, yeah. I mean, we have a lot in common. We’re like… two kindred spirits. Especially now that my dad has married his mom.

Brooke: Okay, listen. This is steffy’s husband you’re talking about.

Hope: I know. I know and I’m not going after him, mom. I’m not. He just… happens to be one of the best men I’ve ever met.

Steffy: What did I just walk in on? Tell me, hope.

Eric: Now, brooke, I agree with ridge. I think it’s high time that you should take a more active role in leading the company forward.

Brooke: Well, thank you, eric. I was very touched by the suggestion.

Eric: Good.

Katie: Well, ridge wouldn’t have said anything if he wasn’t serious.

Brooke: Oh, he was.

Eric: The logans and the forresters make a formidable team.

Brooke: Yes. And I wanna contribute. I do. I just don’t wanna create any more tension with steffy.

Eric: Oh, yeah.

Donna: Well, what do you think, katie? You know, from a pr standpoint, what should brooke do first?

Katie: Oh, I’m sorry, what?

[ Donna chuckling ]

Donna: Are you okay? You seem a little distracted.

Katie: I just… found out something that is… shocking.

Eric: What? Is it will? Is he okay?

Katie: Oh, yeah, no, he’s fine. Although I don’t know how he’s gonna take the news. Apparently he has a new half-sister.

Donna: Half-sister?

Eric: What, bill has a daughter?

[ Liam chuckling ]

Liam: So, my dad…

[ Bill chuckling ] Is…

Luna: My dad.

Liam: I have a sister. You gave me a– I have a sister. I have a sister.

Bill: Liam and I discussed the possibility before.

Liam: It’s not a possibility anymore. It’s– it’S… a reality.

Bill: Yes, it is. We have the test results to prove it.

[ Liam chuckling ]

Liam: Wow.

Luna: That’s a good wow, I hope?

Poppy: Okay, we understand it is a lot to process and you might need some time.

Bill: But we’re hoping you’re going to be as happy about this as we are.

Liam: There’s only one thing to say. Hey, luna. Welcome to the family.

[ All chuckling ]

Bill: That’s my boy.

Brooke: Bill. Your bill has a daughter?

Donna: Since when?

Katie: For more than 20 years. Only he just found out today.

Eric: Well, that’s not exactly uncharted territory for bill spencer, is it?

Brooke: Well, that’s true. He met liam and wyatt when they were adults.

Donna: Okay, so bill met her today?

Katie: Well, no, not exactly. He’s known her for quite a while. Her mother, too.

Brooke: Who?

Katie: Luna. Luna is bill’s daughter.

Liam: Can I say, you know, I had a feeling when he texted me. Just– I just knew. I knew.

[ Bill chuckling ]

Poppy: Well, I know it’s a lot to process, but the test was conclusive and luna is, in fact, bill’s daughter and your little sister.

Liam: Can I tell you something funny about this? I have been telling this guy for god knows how long now how great it is to be a girl dad. And now he gets to find out for himself, if he can recover. Uh, and lucky me, I get a little sister to spoil.

Luna: No, no, I’m the lucky one. I mean, bill’s told me all about his family and how much you all mean to him. And it’s crazy that I’m gonna be a part of it.

Bill: You already are.

Finn: Hope and i were just talking.

Steffy: I know what you’re doing. You’re becoming a bad influence on finn.

Hope: A bad influence? I mean, what exactly do you mean by that?

Steffy: You need to back off. You stay away from my husband.

Bother the bugs,

not your family.

Brooke: Bill is luna’s father?

Katie: I mean, I haven’t talked to bill. I’m just getting my information from rj.

Eric: And he was texting with luna and that’s how you found out?

Katie: Yes, during the paternity test and then after they got the results.

Brooke: Well, this is going to be quite an adjustment for bill. And for you too.

Katie: I guess it doesn’t really involve me.

Donna: What did you say earlier when you spoke about bill, that… he doesn’t answer to you?

Eric: But you and bill are gonna have to explain this to will.

Donna: How do you feel about that? I mean, how do you feel about all of this?

Brooke: You did deny wanting to have another chance with bill. But now that you know this, does it change things? Poppy isn’t just somebody that bill is dating. They have a daughter together. And I could imagine that would change a lot.

Liam: So, luna, this has got to be insane for you, right?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, it’s a bit overwhelming, but it’s wonderful. This is more than I could have ever wished for, you know? Finally finding my father and gaining a whole new family out of it.

Poppy: And it has to be a little wild for you too, liam.

Liam: Yeah, but with him, I mean, I’ve just learned to expect the unexpected.

Bill: Yeah, I do tend to be full of surprises, but this is one of the best surprises I’ve ever gotten.

Liam: Can I tell you what’s surprising to me?

Bill: What?

Liam: You this happy. Look at that big dumb smile on your face. Look at it.

Bill: Well, I’ve got a lot to be happy about.

Liam: You see, one thing you may not know about this gentleman right here is that usually he’s pretty tight-lipped about his love life, which means the task of dragging it out of him falls on me. “Dad, how’s it going?” “Dad, how are you feeling?” Not so lately. The guy will not shut up about you, which I think means that he’s crazy for you.

Poppy: Well, the feeling is very mutual, and I love your father even more now that we share a child together.

Finn: There’s no reason to be concerned about our friendship.

Steffy: I’m concerned about the ideas that she’s putting in your head, encouraging you to have a relationship with sheila.

Hope: Okay, finn is his own person. He can make up his own mind about his birth mother. He doesn’t need us telling him how to feel.

Steffy: I can’t believe you’re buying into the whole sheila’s changed bit. Are you kidding me?

Hope: Okay, well, I just happen to see the good in people and believe that they can change if they want to, and I think finn feels the same.

Steffy: My point exactly. Look, you can handle sheila any way you want. You just stay away from my husband. Leave him out of it.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I mean, steffy, there’s nothing to worry about. But, look, uh… I don’t wanna get finn in any more trouble, so I am going to go and let you two work this out. But, uh, before I do, a little word of advice. Maybe focus on finn. You’re lucky to have such a compassionate husband.

Finn: Hey, hey. What was that all about? New mr. Clean ultra foamy magic eraser?

Katie: I don’t really know poppy, but luna is a lovely young woman.

Eric: Yeah, she is. We all agree on that.

Katie: So, you haven’t talked to rj at all, have you?

Brooke: No. I didn’t know any of this was happening.

Donna: I’m sure he’s gonna wanna talk to you all about it.

Brooke: Well, he has come to me about luna’s family situation before.

Katie: I wish bill had been as open with me. I have a few questions I need to ask.

> Brooke: You’re gonna go see him?

Katie: Yeah. I need to talk to him about the newest addition to his life, and to will’S.

Poppy: So, should I tell him, or do you want to?

Bill: Tell him what– oh. Uh… I asked poppy and luna to move in with me.

Liam: Are you serious?

Bill: Yeah.

Poppy: Yes, he is the most wonderful and generous man.

Liam: You know why? Because he’s happy. He’s generous when he’s happy.

Bill: How could I not be? With these two incredible women in my life.

Finn: Well, I think that we should get to the bottom of what’s really bothering you.

Hope: Oh, I don’t think– we don’t have to do that.

Finn: You know, I’m here to help you, hope. So, if you can… just tell me exactly how you’re feeling.

Brooke: Oh, good. I was hoping you’d be here.

Hope: What’s up?

Brooke: I have news. About luna.

Hope: Okay.

Brooke: I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but… poppy never told luna who her father was until today.

Hope: And?

[ Brooke sighs ]

Brooke: It’s bill.

Hope: Spencer.

Brooke: Yeah. They took a paternity test, and it turns out luna is his daughter. Now, I don’t think they’re going public with it right away, so just keep it quiet. But I wanted to tell you, because you’re close and you work with her. Honey? Are you even listening? What’s going on? Oh, no. I’m– I’M… good. I’m, uh, happy for luna.

Brooke: Okay. Well, you seem a bit distracted. What is it?

[ Hope sighs ] I just– I can’T… help it, I’m– I’M… I’m thinking about finn.

Brooke: Finn?

Hope: Yeah. I don’t know. I worry about him. I just… feel like he doesn’t have much of a voice in his marriage.

Finn: Tell me. What’s going on?

Steffy: We agreed not to let anything come between us, finn. No more arguing about sheila.

Finn: Okay, but… what’s that got to do with hope?

Steffy: Hope keeps bringing it up. She won’t let it go.

Finn: Okay, I mean, I can see why it might look that way. Look, maybe we all could have discussed it if you’d been a little more chill.

Steffy: Chill?

Finn: Yeah. I mean, there’s no reason to be hard on hope.

Steffy: I didn’t know I was being hard on her. Look, hope always acts like she’s, like, this sweet, innocent girl. That she’s some kind of, like, victim and everything that’s gone wrong in her life is because of me. And that’s not true. So you need to stop and think, okay? Before ever defending hope again.

[ Steffy sighs ] A mystery!

Poppy: Sorry that bill and liam had to leave.

Luna: You know, I should probably head back to work, too.

Poppy: No! I mean, you can stay, can’t you? I mean, this is such an extraordinary day, and I wanna be able to share it with you. I’m so happy for you, sweetheart.

Luna: I’m so happy for you too, mom. For both of us.

Poppy: Well, call me biased, but I think that bill has the most to celebrate because he just found out that he has the most incredible daughter in the world.

Luna: Thank you, mom. For everything.

Poppy: I hope this new life is all that you want it to be.

Luna: Well, I honestly just wanted to know who my dad was, and this, all of this, is just… icing on the cake.

Poppy: No, honey. This is what you deserve. I mean, this is what you’ve waited your whole life for. It’s a dream come true. I mean, look at us. Bill spencer is your father. We’re living in the spencer estate. Life couldn’t be better.

[ Door slams ]

Katie: So I guess the news went over well.

Luna: Katie, you heard?

Katie: Yeah, yeah. You’re bill’s daughter.

Poppy: Did he call you?

Katie: No, no. I was with rj when luna texted. I was hoping he would be here.

Luna: He and liam just had a business meeting, so.

Katie: Well… I guess congratulations are in order. Rj told me how much this means to you.

Luna: Yeah. It’s honestly a little bit overwhelming. I’ve had this, like, question mark hanging over my head my entire life, and… now all of my questions have been answered, so.

Katie: Yeah, you’re… bill’s daughter and my son’s half-sister.

Luna: Yes, yes. I cannot wait to meet will and get to know him.

Katie: Did I hear correctly? You two are living here now?

Poppy: Oh, yes. Well, bill insisted. I mean, we’ve lost so much time already, and here we can be a family right away.

Katie: Family is very important to bill.

Poppy: It’s beautiful. Look, liam was just here.

Luna: Yeah, liam was so welcoming.

Poppy: Yeah, he’s such a great guy. He gave us his blessing. And, katie… I’m really hoping that you’ll be able to give us your blessing, too.

Steffy: Babe, you know I love you. And you’re kind. And you care about people. But I…

Finn: Aww. Yes, I do. But I care about you and the kids more than anyone.

Steffy: I know that. It’s just sometimes I feel as though you’re a little… too caring. This instinct to help everyone do whatever is asked of you.

Finn: Okay. But you have an issue with that?

Steffy: No, I don’t have an issue with you. But I do have an issue with hope and sheila trying to manipulate you.

Finn: You’re making it sound like there’s a connection between the two.

Steffy: I kind of think there is. I mean… you went to sheila’s memorial with hope. You went to sheila’s wedding with hope. I just think hope is trying to get in your head and you already have complicated feelings towards sheila.

Finn: Okay, so what do you need? What’s your point here?

Steffy: I think the less you see of hope… the better.

Hope: Finn is such an amazing man. I mean, he’s an accomplished doctor. He saves lives. He’s kind. He’s caring. He’s generous.

Brooke: He is extraordinary. And I don’t think he should have to feel bad about having a big, open heart. Yes, his feelings about sheila are rather complicated, but no one is questioning his devotion to steffy. He’s totally committed, and I don’t get why she doesn’t get that. I’m tired of seeing such a strong, capable man having to justify himself constantly.

Brooke: Okay, wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hope. Where are you going with all of this?

Hope: I just think that maybe steffy doesn’t appreciate what she has in finn.

Brooke: Okay. I know that you and steffy have not been getting along. There’s a lot of conflict there. But steffy and finn are married. Finn is steffy’s husband. And steffy is ridge’s daughter. You need to respect that.

Hope: I am well aware of that, mom.

Brooke: Are you aware of that, honey? Look at me. Be honest with me. More importantly, be honest with yourself. Are you having feelings for steffy’s husband?

[ Suspenseful music ]

Liam: I don’t think hope is trying to create problems for you and finn.

Steffy: I’m not so sure about that.

Liam: You know what? You– you two have had a long and tangled history and I don’t know what I’m talking about necessarily. I don’t know how that feels.

Steffy: No, no, no. I should just– I should just stop venting about hope.

Liam: No, you’re fine. You’re totally fine to vent. I mean, and by the way, you’re not at all wrong about sheila. She absolutely, inarguably is dangerous.

Steffy: So you really believe that I have nothing to worry about with hope?

Carter: So the billboard next to the chateau, is that included in the budget?

Katie: Um, no. Uh, yes. I mean, yes.

Carter: What about the one on michigan avenue? Katie.

Katie: Oh.

Carter: Earth calling katie.

Katie: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. Um, what are– what are we talking about, I…

Carter: Wow, I lost you there, didn’t I?

Katie: Yes, I– that’s obvious, I guess.

Carter: Yeah, well, I– I know you too well. If something’s on your mind, you can tell me.

Katie: There’s just something I’m really having a hard time wrapping my head around, and– and it has to do with bill.

Bill: I still can’t believe I have a daughter. You are this remarkable young woman, and you are my child.

Luna: I’ve always wondered if I’d ever meet my dad, or even know his name. And now that I have you in my life, I mean, I couldn’t have picked a better dad.

Poppy: I’m so happy for both of you, and I am overjoyed that we’re all together. Finally, we get to be a real family.

Carter: Did bill do something?

Katie: Uh, well, not quite the way you’re thinking, but yeah, yeah, he did something with someone.

Carter: What does that mean?

Katie: Bill has a daughter.

Bill: My house is your house. This is your home now.

Luna: I mean, this is insane, right? Last night, my mom and I slept in my apartment.

Poppy: And now we’re moving in.

Luna: I’m sorry. Can you tell we’re like a teeny bit excited?

Bill: Well, I don’t know who’s more excited.

Poppy: Well, I just can’t believe this is our new life.

Steffy: Hope needs to stop making excuses for sheila.

Liam: Is– is that what she’s doing?

Steffy: Yeah, she’s giving her grace. And she deserves zero forgiveness.

Liam: Well, we completely agree on that. I just– the problem is finn would say it’s more complicated.

Steffy: Finn’s emotions around his biological mother are already mixed up as it is. And now hope is promoting a relationship between them? The last thing I need is hope to be spending time with my husband.

Finn: Hope? Hope? Hey. You– you okay? What– what’s going– I lost you there for a second.

Hope: Um, what– what were you saying again, I…

Finn: Um, oh, I was just saying how much I admire you and respect you. You embody the name of your line. Hope for the future. Auntie, you can’t put that right in the dishwasher.

Katie: So, will has a brand new half-sister, if you can believe it.

Carter: And you said she’s in her early 20s and that bill just found out?

Kate: Yeah, the mother kept it to herself. She didn’t even tell her daughter.

Carter: So nobody knew?

Katie: No.

Carter: Why not reach out to bill? Give him a chance to be in his kid’s life.

Katie: Well, apparently she wasn’t 100% sure that bill was the father. And I guess she didn’t wanna look like a gold digger.

Carter: So she just comes out of the woodwork and gives him a paternity test?

Katie: Pretty much.

Carter: This is a trip, katie. Wow, a trip for all of you.

Katie: Yeah, well, that’s not all. Bill’s daughter is someone you know. Someone you see every day.

Carter: Who?

Katie: Luna.

Carter: Wait, luna, rj’s girlfriend?

Katie: Uh-huh, yeah. The woman that bill was grooving with in golden gate park was luna’s mother, poppy.

Poppy: It’s just been the two of us for so long, and we’re used to living in these tiny rentals.

Luna: But you always made them look so cute, though. It never felt small to me.

Bill: Well, that’s because they were filled with a tremendous amount of love.

Poppy: That’s right. And that’s exactly what we’re gonna do here. Fill this place with all the love and joy that we’ve missed out on sharing over the years.

Bill: I’m just glad you both agreed to move in. And I– I know it’s happening quickly.

Luna: No, no, I don’t wanna wait any longer. I wanna do all of the fun father-daughter things, and I wanna get to know you better. Dad.

Bill: Wow, dad. Hearing you call me that, I can get used to this.

Poppy: And don’t worry, we’ll contribute. We’re not freeloaders.

Bill: Poppy, come on. I mean, your– your presence here is more than enough. Worth its weight in gold.

Poppy: Thank you, bill. You know, in a million years, I never would’ve imagined living with a man like you in a place like this. I truly am so grateful.

Steffy: Okay, first, hope and finn are at sheila’s memorial. Then they’re at sheila’s wedding. Do you think that hope bonding with my husband, she’s trying to get under my skin?

Liam: What I think is that finn is sheila’s son, hope is deacon’s daughter, and that’s the whole connection. That’s it.

Steffy: Okay, I know that she wants a connection with her father. I mean, yeah, fine. I– I get it. He never shot her. That’s the difference. He’s not a cold-blooded murderer, right? Look, I just want– I really want hope to back off. And stop putting my husband in these risky situations.

Finn: You okay?

Hope: Uh, yeah, I– I didn’t expect to feel this way.

Finn: Well, they’re unpredictable. Migraines can come up at the worst possible moments.

Hope: I didn’t see it coming. But thank you for being so wonderful about it all.

Finn: Is– is the throbbing getting worse? I mean, you look– you look a little flushed.

Hope: I do?

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: Um, I’m– I am sure it will pass. I’m sure it’s nothing.

Finn: It doesn’t look like nothing, hope. Be honest with me. What’s going on in that head of yours? (Vo) for over 50 years

Carter: So your egomaniacal ex-husband is luna’s dad.

Katie: Yeah, small world, right?

Carter: Wow.

Katie: Yeah, I mean, what’s funny is that wyatt and liam came into bill’s life kind of around the same age. I mean, will is the only child that bill has that he’s actually known since birth.

Carter: Yeah, do you think he’ll be into having a surprise sister?

Katie: Ah, he’ll probably be fine with it. I mean, he might even be excited about it. I– I don’t know.

Carter: What’s not to like about luna, right?

Katie: No, no, you’re right, you’re right. She’s smart, she’s talented. I guess we’ll all just get over the shock and welcome her into the family.

Carter: Mm-hmm. What about poppy?

Katie: What about her?

Carter: What’s your vibe on her?

Katie: Well, I’ve only met her once. But she raised a great daughter, so I guess I have to admire her for that.

Carter: Mm-hmm, yeah, you respect her as a woman mother to mother, but she’s still bill spencer’s former fling.

Katie: Well, bill’s allowed to do whatever he wants. We haven’t been a couple for a long time. You were my last relationship.

Carter: Yeah, but still, how do you feel about bill having a child with poppy?

Bill: Now that you’ve had the official grand tour, what do you think?

Poppy: Isn’t it remarkable, luna?

Luna: I mean, it’s like the most gorgeous mansion I’ve ever seen.

Poppy: And that’s saying a lot. She watches all those fancy real estate shows on tv.

Bill: Well, I’m glad you both approve.

Luna: I mean, it’s just incredible, everywhere I look.

Bill: What’s incredible is that I have you two beautiful women in my life.

Poppy: Thank you, bill, for your understanding and for welcoming luna into your life with open arms.

Luna: I mean, look, this is all a dream come true, and the house is beyond awesome, but… I’d move anywhere with you guys, if it meant that we could be a family.

Bill: Speaking of family, it’s time.

Luna: Time for what?

Bill: Time for you to meet one of your brothers.

Liam: I respect where you’re coming from. I really do. I just– uh, I would hate to see your old rivalry just get kicked up a notch.

Steffy: No, it’s– it’s not about that for me.

[ Cell phone chimes ]

Steffy: Hope keeps messing with my marriage.

Liam: Um, it’s my dad, and he’s summoning me to the house, and he says it’s important.

Steffy: No, it’s fine, go. I– I really gotta stop venting to you. I’m really sorry.

Liam: No, you’re fine, and just do me a favor. Just for now, try not to get too upset about hope. I really don’t think that she’s doing this intentionally.

Steffy: I really just want hope to stop encouraging my husband to hang out with sheila. She knows that is the one thing I told him not to do. And here I go venting again. I’m sorry. It’s just, hope spending so much time with my husband, it’s– it’s really getting on my nerves.

Finn: Your– your cheeks are a bit pink. Are you– are you hot?

Hope: Um, a little.

Finn: Okay, well here, let me– can I? Okay, well you don’t have a fever.

Hope: Well, that’s good. I’m sure whatever it is, it’s not a big deal.

Finn: Okay, well, I think that we should get to the bottom of what’s really bothering you.

Hope: Oh, I don’t think– we don’t have to do that.

Finn: No, look, it’s okay. All right, really, I’m a doctor. It’s– it’s a safe space. Whatever, you know, is ailing you, you can confide in me. Look, I know we already talked about decreasing your stress level, but are you feeling anxious?

Hope: Uh, that’s one way to describe it.

Finn: Okay, well, I’m here to help you, hope. So if you can, tell me exactly how you’re feeling.

()

Carter: So, katie, answer my question. How do you feel about bill having a daughter with poppy?

Katie: I’m not really sure yet.

Carter: Still processing the idea, huh?

Katie I’m just trying to figure out how I should feel.

Carter: It’s definitely a significant turn of events. There’s no manual for this kind of thing.

Katie: On the one hand, it doesn’t really affect my life all that much. I guess I just don’t know how to feel about will having another sibling.

Carter: And bill having another baby mama.

Katie: Yeah.

Bill: All right, well liam should be here any minute. I am very excited for him to meet his new sister.

Poppy: Well, how do you think he’ll feel about adding a new member to the family?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, I’m sure this might be a little weird for your sons. Do you think liam will be okay with it?

Bill: Well, make him be okay with it. Wyatt and will too.

Luna: I can’t wait to meet all of them.

Poppy: Your brothers, sweetheart.

Luna: I know, I’ve always wanted siblings.

Poppy: Hey, you’re not an only child anymore.

Luna: I know.

Bill: Listen, liam is gonna love you. They’re all gonna love you. I promise. Everything’s going to be great.

[ Knock on door ]

Liam: Well, hi, dad. You, uh, you summoned me.

Bill: I did summon you. Come here, son. Liam, this is poppy.

Liam: Poppy, it is a pleasure to finally meet you.

Poppy: It’s really nice to meet you too, liam. Your dad has told me so much about you.

Liam: Uh-oh.

Bill: And this beautiful young woman is luna.

Luna: Hi.

Liam: Hi, luna. I have heard so much about you, but I promise, it’s– it’s just the good things.

Bill: Well, things just got a whole lot better. We have confirmed that luna is in fact your half-sister.

Hope: I am feeling something.

Finn: Okay.

Hope: Well, it’s– it’s– it’s hard to put into words. I– I was in love with liam for most of my life, and then we got married, and we started a family, and yet I always felt like he had one eye on steffy. And then I became involved in thomas, in spite of the things that he had done to me in the past.

Finn: Well, because you wanted someone to love you, and only you.

Hope: Exactly. And then, I don’t know, I– I got to know you. And you’re devoted, and committed, and it just made me realize some things that, while yes, liam is a good man, he wasn’t always true. And thomas was true, he just wasn’t always a good man. And then, I don’t know, just meeting you just made me realize that, like, oh wow, like the whole package can exist.

Finn: Okay, well, I– I appreciate all the compliments, but I’m certainly not perfect.

Hope: Well, I mean, at least you’re perfect where it counts. I mean, you’re good to steffy. You are dedicated to your family.

Finn: You want that.

Hope: I mean, yes, I would like that for myself.

Finn: Hope, hope, there are plenty of other guys out there like me. I mean, I promise. And you– you might have to sift through a few jerks, but you will find a great guy. A man who puts his wife and his family first. You deserve that. You deserve someone who excites you and makes you feel beautiful and appreciated.

Hope: I mean, that– that would be nice.

Finn: Yeah, well, hey, maybe I’ll set you up with one of my colleagues or something. I’ll definitely keep an ear open for anyone who fits the bill.

Hope: Thank you.

Finn: Hey.

Hope: I mean, finn, I just– like, I appreciate you and your understanding and just– I don’t know, for listening.

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: So, thanks.

Steffy: What did I just walk in on? Answer me, hope! Answer me.

Steffy: Okay.

Liam: Oh man, thank you. Thank you for gathering all that up. By the way, I really didn’t mean to steal you away from work.

Steffy: Oh, it’s fine. I needed a break from the office anyway. Um, okay. So there are snacks in the fridge and it’s gluten-free. Kelly needs to take them to her soccer practice and some of the kids are gluten-free, so…

Liam: Uh, got it. I’m on it. Are you okay?

Steffy: It’s just, no last time I accidentally brought granola and like the parents were really mad at me. So I just really don’t want to mess this up.

Liam: I’m not– I just– hey, I’m not talking about the granola. I just mean, you’re kind of in a mood.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I am. It’s– it’s because finn and hope.

Hope: This is helping. Thank you.

Finn: It is?

Hope: Mm-hmm. Very much so.

Finn: Well, good. You know, um, I’m a little concerned on these migraines you’re getting.

Hope: I know. And I know I need to be doing the stress management better.

Finn: Yeah, I believe I told you to take care of yourself. You being a bad patient, not taking doctor’s orders?

Hope: Maybe, but I will try harder. I promise.

Ridge: Brooke logan and steffy forrester running this company. It’s the best. It’s a dream team.

Brooke: If we could get along.

Ridge: You can get along. There’s gonna be some problems along the way, of course. But you’re gonna figure it out. You’re gonna do what’s best for the company. Plus, I’m gonna be right there. I won’t be right there. I’ll be next door. But if there’s a problem, I’ll be there and I’ll stop my designing and I’ll come help you guys.

Brooke: Hmm. Well, I’m flattered that you would think of me to step in and lend a hand.

Ridge: Don’t be flattered by it. You’re the best person for the job.

Brooke: It means a lot to me that you would recognize my contribution to this company.

Ridge: So what do you say? Is it a yes? Will you help lead forrester again?

Ridge: Will you do it? Will you bring your vision, your talent to work, please. There’s no one better.

Brooke: Like I told you, I am very flattered. Forrester creations means a lot to me. It’s very important to me and you know that. Brings a huge smile to my face. And yes, it would be such an honor. Part of me wants to say yes.

Ridge: Part of you wants to say yes? I don’t know what that– what do you–

Brooke: Well, I’m sure years ago I would’ve jumped at the opportunity. And who knows, maybe again in the future I will. But right now, it just– it doesn’t feel like the right time.

Liam: Well, uh, I don’t wanna choose sides here. ‘Cause I obviously have nothing but respect for you as a businesswoman. I’m sure you’ve got legitimate reasons for thinking of cutting hope for the future. I’m just a little concerned about hope only because I know how much that line means to her, and…

Steffy: Well, we can’t let personal feelings get in the way of business decisions.

Liam: No, I– yes, I recognize that. I just– um, I think I’m missing something because why is finn even involved in this?

Steffy: That’s a good question. He shouldn’t be. And you know I love my husband and he cares about people. The problem is he cares too much. Look, he doubted my decision and he defended hope. And frankly, I think my husband needs to stay in his own lane.

Hope: Uh, thank you. I really do appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me with this.

Finn: No, it’s all good. Look, my hands aren’t tired. I can– I can keep going.

Hope: Uh, that’s really sweet of you, but I– I am– I’m feeling much better now. Thank you.

Finn: Yeah? Glad I helped?

Hope: Yes, you certainly did. Ready to switch?

Ridge: You’re turning me down.

Brooke: Oh, I don’t want you looking at it that way.

Ridge: How am I supposed to look at it? It’s a great opportunity. I thought you’d jump at it.

Brooke: Of course, it’s an incredible opportunity. And I’m probably crazy for turning it down, but–

Ridge: But what? What is this about, really? Is it steffy?

Steffy: I love my husband. I really do. But just some of the choices that he’s making lately, it’s– ah, crazy.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, it’s gotta be tough having to tolerate your husband being genuinely torn between you and a woman who shot you. Both. It’s just– I’m not– it’s just– it’s a bug. It’s a bug in the relationship. That’s all.

Steffy: Yeah. It is a bug. But finn and I, we will survive this.

Liam: You will, if you have a plan. She’s gonna try to manipulate him again. What are you gonna do? I mean, she’s not gonna stop at him being there at her wedding, right? She’s gonna keep pushing and pushing for more involvement.

Steffy: Involvement she’ll never have. No, finn knows where I stand. And look, I– I agree with you. I really do. Look, I know that finn is struggling with this– with this tie to his biological mother. But the one thing I do know is that his tie to me is a lot stronger.

Liam: Good. Just, you know, keep your guard up. The sheila problem’s not going away on its own.

Steffy: I’m well aware. Sheila’s causing problems without her even knowing it. Her latest being bringing finn and hope closer together.

[ Hope exhales ]

Hope: Well, uh, if you ever decide to switch careers, might I suggest massage therapy?

Finn: You really think so? Felt that good, huh?

Hope: Uh, you certainly have a way with your hands, yes.

Finn: Well, I mean, it’s just basic pressure point therapy. I mean, I can show you how to do it if you like, on your own. So then if you feel a headache coming on, you don’t have to you know, waste your time tracking me down.

Hope: I mean, I– I will try my best, but I have a feeling I won’t be as effective. It– it’s probably like making a sandwich. Well, like, a sandwich always tastes better when someone else makes it for you.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah, I guess it does, huh? That’s true. So, okay. Well, in that case, feel free to seek me out. Symptoms still subsiding?

Hope: Yeah. I mean, it’s, uh, practically gone.

Finn: Good. Good, I’m glad to hear that. You’ve gotta find a way to relieve some of the stress in your life. I wasn’t joking about doctor’s orders earlier. It’s important. Find some time for yourself, okay? You hear me?

Hope: I, um, I will try.

Finn: You need to more than try. I’m serious, hope. I’m concerned about you. If advanced lung cancer

Ridge: So you don’t wanna do this because you don’t wanna work with steffy?

Brooke: That is part of the reason, yes. I’m not saying I would have an issue with it. Because I wouldn’T. I think it would be the other way around. Steffy has been on a rampage lately. She’s been drumming up forrester versus logan. And she’s been targeting hope and her line. And I– I just feel like the office would turn into a battlefield.

Ridge: A battlefield? Wow. No, it’s gonna be a mild skirmish at best.

Brooke: It’s not like I don’t wanna be involved. Because I do. And maybe we can have a conversation about what that would look like. I don’t wanna work side by side with steffy. I don’t wanna threaten her in any way.

Steffy: Hope’s influence has been very unhealthy to say the least.

Liam: Her influence on what? Finn?

Steffy: Yes. Every time hope and finn hang out, he comes back with these thoughts like maybe sheila has changed.

Liam: And you’re saying you think that’s because of hope?

Steffy: Absolutely. I think hope is getting in my husband’s head.

Liam: I mean, uh, if I had to bet, uh, maybe hope’s thinking that because she got this second chance with her deadbeat parent, that finn deserves the same opportunity, or…

Steffy: No, that’s– that’s exactly what she’s thinking. Hope thinks, I mean she’s delusional, but she’s really thinking that sheila is exactly like her father, that loser. But no. No. You know what she is? She’s a dangerous psychopath.

Liam: Yeah, but hope knows that. I mean, she used to know that.

Steffy: She not only knows that, she truly believes that sheila’s changed. Liam, that is really disturbing and it’s the last thing my husband needs to hear.

Liam: Yeah, you got me. I mean, for the life of me, I can’t imagine a single reason hope would ever give sheila the benefit of the doubt. I– I–

Steffy: You know, I have a theory. I think hope spending all this time with my husband and hope thinking that sheila’s changed, I really believe that she is trying to cause problems between finn and me.

Hope: Uh, as much as i appreciate your concerns, finn, and trust me, I do appreciate it, I don’t want you to be worrying about me. I don’t wanna be the source of any unnecessary tension in your life, because I have a sneaking suspicion that steffy probably won’t like the idea of you offering me medical advice, let alone hanging out with me, let alone even speaking to me about anything, ever.

Finn: I– I know that you and steffy butt heads now and then. I– I get that. But she knows and supports my desire to help people. I mean, even a dreaded logan. And hey, look, when I advise you to take some time for yourself, or to do whatever is necessary to decrease the stress in your life, I’m not just saying that as a doctor, I’m saying it as a friend. Hope, I care about you, and– and I know that you have– you had some struggling times lately with lots of change.

Hope: Tell me about it, it, uh, it feels like whiplash.

Finn: Well, look, even though you’ve been through a struggle lately, I’m confident you can handle it. You are a strong, capable woman. You have lots of family to lean on, not to mention friends like me. So, look, when life starts to feel overwhelming or you feel another headache coming on, just know that I will always be here for you. No, I– I genuinely no, I– I genuinely appreciate the meaning behind hope for the future. I mean, infusing a social message with your line and making a difference in the betterment of people’s lives, I just– how could I not admire you? Respect you. You fully embody the name of your line. Hope for the future. Headache?

Hope: Yeah.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah.

Steffy: Here’s a look at what’s ahead.

Katie: Well, look at you. A whole new family.

Steffy: You don’t find it a little strange that hope is spending so much time with finn?

Hope: I can’t stop thinking about you.

Hope: For once, can you just admit it? That you feel threatened by the logan’S. You always have and you always will.

Steffy: Hardly.

Hope: Well, your actions say otherwise. I mean, trying to eliminate my line from forrester? Without even giving it a chance to recover? I mean, luckily you were stopped. By your own father, no less. But hope for the future is going to remain an integral part of this company. And so will I. And so will my mother. Like it or not, the logan’s are here to stay.

Brooke: This is the– the last thing I ever expected.

Ridge: No, no I can see that, but I’m not sure why. You love this company as much as I do. You would be the perfect person for this job. So what do you say? Will you help steffy and me lead this company forward?

Rj: So this has gotta be one of the best days ever for luna. She finally knows who her father is.

Li: My sister could’ve told her a long time ago. She chose not to.

Katie: Because she wasn’t sure it was bill until the paternity test?

Li: Yes, well… this definitely changes everything.

Rj: Especially for luna.

Katie: Bill too. He’s got a daughter. There’s a lot of lost time to make up for. Which I’m sure he’s realizing.

Luna: Mom, are you okay?

Poppy: Beyond. To see you this happy. To see you both this happy. It’s just everything I could wish for. And so much more.

Rj: Do you think I should go over there right now? I don’t wanna interrupt their big moment.

Katie: Sure, why not? I mean, what’s bill gonna do?

Rj: Throw me out and send like a guard dog after me or something?

Katie: Oh, don’t worry about the dogs. Their bark is worse than their bite. Besides, I have a feeling that whatever bill’s new daughter wants to do, then he’ll do it.

Li: Go. I’m sure luna has so much to share with you.

Rj: Yeah, bill’s daughter. It’s crazy.

Katie: You don’t seem as excited about this as rj.

Li: Are you? I mean, what I am is shocked. I truly believed that poppy was trying to trap bill. Turns out she wasn’T. Luna is really penelope and bill’s daughter.

Katie: Yeah.

Poppy: My heart has never felt so full. I loved you before, bill. But I love you even more now that we share a child.

Brooke: You want me to join you and steffy?

Ridge: Well, mostly steffy, ’cause I’ll be designing. But you’d be perfect for this job. You know everything about fashion. You– you know what our customers want before they know it. And I would love it if you could take that magic and apply it to other parts of this company.

Brooke: You’re really serious about this.

Ridge: I am. I know you’ve given so much to forrester already, but you have so much more to offer.

Brooke: Ah, I– I don’t know what to say.

Ridge: I do. Say yes.

Steffy: No one is trying to give you and your mom the boot. That’s not how things work around here.

Hope: But it’s how you would like it to work, steffy. I mean, you would like nothing more than to get rid of us, logan’S.

Steffy: Okay, hope, I think you’re being paranoid.

Hope: I– I wish I were. I wish this was all in my head, but we both know it isn’T.

Steffy: Think whatever you want. But this reprieve your line has gotten, it’s only temporary. Yes, my father and carter, they support your line right now. But once it fails, again, it’s going to get the axe. That’s it.

Finn: You wanna cancel hope’s line?

The power of a skin filler

Katie: I don’t know poppy very well. I’ve only met her once. But my first impression wasn’t how you were portraying her.

Li: Well, you don’t have the history that we do. But take it from me, my sister can be very convincing when she needs to be.

Katie: So she’s just putting on this act for my benefit?

Li: Ah, well, I think she knows how important you are to bill, so you’re important to her too.

Katie: I don’t understand.

Li: I don’t think my sister wants to raise any red flags with the people that care about bill the most. Especially the mother of his youngest son. She wants you and them to believe that she is sweet and innocent. But I know a whole different side of my sister. How she operates.

Katie: She’s really that calculating?

Li: Well, she’s had the same pattern for many years when it comes to rich, handsome, older men. I just assumed it was the same with bill. But now that it’s been proven that luna is bill’s child…

Katie: So maybe you’re starting to see your sister in a more favorable light?

Poppy: I don’t mean to put you on the spot. I know I’ve been dropping the l-word left and right since we discovered this incredible news.

Bill: You’re not putting me on the spot at all. All I feel is blessed. Blessed to have two beautiful, intelligent, strong women in my life. And like I told your mom. How could I not love her? For giving me you. And the amazing young woman you are.

[ Door opens ]

Rj: Hey, it’s me.

Luna: He’s my dad. Bill spencer is my dad.

Brooke: You have to know, I am flattered.

Ridge: I wasn’t trying to flatter you. I was trying to convince you.

Brooke: And I love you for that.

Ridge: Why does it sound like there’s a “but” coming?

Brooke: But.

Ridge: No, why?

Brooke: It’s a huge responsibility.

Ridge: But you’ve done this before. You’ve helped lead this company. It was in worse shape than it is now. This is going to be a breeze. It won’t be a breeze. It’s not going to be a breeze. But, it’s– you can handle this. You can.

Brooke: Okay. I appreciate your confidence. I really do, but you’re not exactly objective.

Ridge: I’m not objective about my family’s company? I am the picture of objectivity. I wouldn’t have asked you if i didn’t think you were right.

Brooke: Well, thank you. That’s nice that you realize my value. But, one more question. What about steffy? How do you think she’s gonna react to all of this?

Finn: Wait, did i hear you right? I– hope for the future. That’s– that’s like one of forrester’s premier lines. You’re thinking about eliminating it?

Hope: That is exactly what steffy wants. She would love nothing more than to see hope for the future and me disappear.

Steffy: That is not true. You’re twisting my intentions.

Hope: Well, your intentions could cost me the line that I’m so proud of.

Finn: Well, you– you should be proud. You’ve done some amazing, meaningful things with hope for the future. That’s why I don’t understand. Steffy, why are you doing this to hope? Looking for a smarter way to mop?

Li: I have so much respect and admiration for your ex-husband. You know, he’s a wonderfully caring man. He literally saved my life. From sheila. After my run-in with her.

Katie: When she ran you off the pier.

Li: Yeah. I lost my memory. I didn’t know who I was. I was barely hanging on when bill found me down by the wharf. Behind a restaurant. I was lost. Traumatized. But he was so kind and caring. He brought me to his home. Nursed me back to health. That’s why I was so adamant about protecting bill. I’m here today because of your ex-husband, katie.

Katie: And now your sister has a daughter with him.

Li: Yeah.

Rj: I’m so happy for you. For all of you.

Bill: Even me?

Rj: Yes, even you. This is about family and– and a daughter finally getting to know who her dad is.

Luna: Exactly. I mean, all these years of wondering. And after just one paternity test, all my questions have been answered. Bill’s my father. I mean, how lucky am I?

Bill: No, how lucky am i having you for my daughter? Hit the jackpot, didn’t I, rj?

Rj: Yes, you did. This woman is… she’s perfect. And you should definitely take care of her. Yeah?

Bill: I will more than take care of her. I will love and protect luna. Love you too. The three of us have missed out on so much time together. So many memories, birthdays, christmases, and just the moments of everyday life together. But that makes what we have that much more special. And I don’t wanna waste a moment. Not one precious moment.

Brooke: Steffy may not want me working with both of you. A logan?

Steffy: I am not doing anything to hope.

Finn: Well, no, to her line, then. Because it sounds like you’re making a–

Steffy: Babe, babe, you’re a doctor. You need to stay in your lane. I know forrester creations. I know what lines are thriving and what lines are on their way out.

Hope: And steffy has single-handedly decided that mine is heading that way. Just because hope for the future had one quarter that hit a rough patch, she thinks it should be on the chopping block without giving it any chance to recover.

Finn: Well, are you– are you confident that it can?

Hope: Absolutely. There is ample opportunity to bounce back. And I am not alone in thinking that.

Finn: What do you mean?

Steffy: She means that my father and carter agree with her.

Hope: No, not just agree. They stopped her from killing my line.

Steffy: Okay, if hope for the future continues this downward trend, it’s going to be an issue.

Hope: Okay, can we be honest here? This is about so much more than just my line and hope for the future. Steffy, you are making this personal. Look, she doesn’t wanna just cut my line, finn. She wants to eliminate the logan’s from forrester creations for good. I told myself I was ok

Katie: You have quite a connection with bill.

Li: He will always have a special place in my heart for what he did for me. For being such a remarkable man.

[ Li sighs ]

Li: I just hope penelope deserves him.

Bill: If I could, I would get back the lost years that we all missed out on. Of course, I can’t do that, but what I can do is take advantage of the time we do have. Which is why I want you to move into my home.

Luna: Move in?

Poppy: Uh, here? Your home?

Bill: Yes, I am determined to make up for everything that we missed out on together. I mean, you are my family now. You and my– my three boys. And they’re gonna love having a sister, by the way.

Poppy: Um, are you sure this is what you truly want, bill? You’re willing to open up your home to luna and me?

Bill: Yes, absolutely. Like I said, we’re a family. And our life as a family begins right here and right now.

Ridge: Listen, I realize you and steffy haven’t always seen things eye to eye, but… you’re a great businesswoman, she’s a great businesswoman, and… I love you both very much.

Brooke: And we love you too. But I’m sure you could see my point. Steffy is a very strong-willed person, and so am I. I can already foresee us butting heads.

Ridge: So what? Steffy and I don’t agree on everything, like this hope for the future thing. She wanted to shelve it, I wanted to give it another chance. She wasn’t happy with me, but in the end it all worked out. And if you have an argument, it’ll be the same thing.

Brooke: I would like to believe that.

Ridge: Well, then believe it. Done. It’s easy as that. The two of you running this company together, I– I think it’d be great. And maybe that would be good for your relationship outside the office as well.

Finn: Look, you know how I feel. Our families are intertwined, it’s important we all get along.

Steffy: I agree. But hope is taking my business decisions and making it personal.

Hope: Oh, wow, you know what? Say that all you want. You might even be able to convince yourself of that. But the reality is, you’ve not only been trying to sabotage me here at work, you’ve been trying to sabotage my entire life.

Steffy: Hope, for the love of god, will you– oh, hold on. I just got a text from carter. Look, I– I gotta go. He says it’s important. Look, babe, I know you’re trying to help, but I appreciate you respecting my decisions here at the office. Okay?

Finn: Okay. Hmm.

Hope: I am so sorry, finn. I really, I didn’t intend to drag you into the middle of all this.

Finn: It’s okay.

Hope: No, no, no, actually it’s not okay. Just like it is not okay for steffy to continually attack and target my family just because we’re logan’S. I– I– which is what she’s doing, by the way. You know, in spite of what she says. Oh, my god. I hate this. I hate this. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want our two families pitted against each other again. But she just kept coming after me, and it’s like, I am just exhausted from all this.

Finn: You alright?

Hope: I’m great. I’m just fine.

Finn: It doesn’t look like it.

Hope: Well, you know, just another one of those rolling migraines coming in. Actually, do you mind doing that little thingy?

Finn: Oh, yeah, sure.

Hope: Thank you.

Finn: Not at all.

Finn: How’s that? Is it helping?

Hope: Yes.

[ Dramatic Music ]

Bill: you’re holding the answer luna’s waited a lifetime for.

Poppy: Yeah, what’s it say?

Luna: Come on, aunt li, please.

Bill: Am I luna’s father or not?

Katie: So, li is administering the test?

Rj: That’s what luna’s text said. Li showed up with the test.

Katie: This is really happening.

Rj: Yes, luna could finally know who her dad is.

Steffy: I still can’t believe my father doesn’t agree with me about hope for the future.

Carter: Steffy, I get why you’re upset. I really do. But ridge wants to give hope a chance to turn things around next quarter.

Steffy: This is just so crazy to me. My father makes this decision and now he doesn’t wanna deal with the day-to-day? He wants to focus more on design?

Hope: Forrester creations thrived in the brooke logan era. And mom, you are more than just a great ceo. You are an icon of forrester creations. Please don’t let steffy brush you aside.

Brooke: Honey, I appreciate your support. I really do, but it’s–

Hope: I just think maybe it’s time for you to get back in the game. Take charge. Remind people what you are capable of.

Ridge: What did I just walk in on?

Steffy: Dad wants to focus on couture.

Carter: That’s his passion.

Steffy: Yeah. I mean, his designs make this company so successful, but so does his leadership.

Carter: So does yours.

Steffy: I love collaborating with him. We challenge each other. We try to make this company better, stronger. It’s part of the reason I– I love this job. It makes it so exciting.

Carter: Well, he’s not going anywhere, steffy. I mean, you heard the guy. He’s not stepping down. He just wants to shed some of the day-to-day administrative aspects that take him away from designing.

Steffy: I just have so much on my plate already.

Ridge: So is this a pep talk? Or are you guys trying to take over the world? Which is it?

Brooke: Don’t worry. You’re not interrupting. I just wanna thank you for defending my daughter and her line.

Hope: I just wanna reiterate how grateful I am as well.

Ridge: Well, it was a business decision. Actually, I came here to talk to my dad about it, but I guess he’s not here, is he?

Hope: He is not. But, look, I just– I wanna say I– I’m going to do everything I can to prove to you that you were right to make this decision and just show how valuable the logan influence is.

Ridge: I’m looking forward to all that. Would– I’m sorry. Would you mind if I had a moment with your mom alone? Is that–

Hope: Of course. Thank you again. And please remember what I said.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Brooke: Wow. That’s a serious look.

Ridge: It’s a serious time.

Katie: I can’t stop thinking about what li said about her sister. Do you think poppy’s trying to pull something over on bill?

Rj: Poppy knows how much luna wants to know her dad. And so does li. I mean, can you imagine anybody playing games with something this important?

Poppy: Li, tell us.

Luna: Is bill my dad?

Bill: If it’s inconclusive, we’ll do it again.

Li: No. It’s conclusive.

Poppy: Oh, for goodness sake, give it to me.

Luna: What? What is it? Okay, that’s two stripes. That’s– that’s two stripes. That means that– that means you’re my dad.

Skin feeling rougher

than sandpaper?

Brooke: Did you and steffy argue?

Ridge: No. We had a difference of opinion, that’s all. It happens.

Brooke: Well, the way you’re talking about the business…

Ridge: I’m sorry if it came across that way, I– I love forrester creations. It’s– it’s a big part of me.

Brooke: It always has been.

Ridge: Big part of you, too.

Brooke: It was.

Ridge: Oh, stop it. It was. What do you love more than launching a line or– or pitching a new product, huh? What do you love more? Maybe me or maybe your kids, your grandkids, but that’s it.

Brooke: I guess we have that in common.

Ridge: Yeah. You know what I– what I like about work is the part that doesn’t feel like work.

Brooke: Designing?

Ridge: Yeah. I get caught up in doing bills and all I want is to have a pencil in my hand because I get ideas, by the time I wanna put them down, I’ve forgotten already. Watching dad, the way he poured himself into that last line he did, it just, it was ridiculous, right? He was so passionate about it. And I remember that feeling and I miss it. I miss it a lot.

Brooke: Okay. So what are you saying? You don’t wanna be co-ceo anymore?

Steffy: So, part of me would love the challenge to run forrester creations. Like, I know I could do it, but…

Carter: But?

Steffy: Gosh, years ago, I just would’ve jumped into this opportunity. All my energy would’ve gone into this. But now, I mean, my husband and kids, it’s just– it’s– it’s a lot and… I just don’t know.

Carter: You’ll have to find another set of hands.

Steffy: Maybe you could help. If you agreed, of course. I mean, you have your expertise in this, business acumen, and we work so well together. Why not?

Carter: I’m flattered. I really am. But all my coo duties have me working overtime.

Steffy: A girl can dream.

Carter: I guess you’ll have to decide what you want. Either way, I’m ready to support you in whatever that is.

Steffy: All right. Thanks.

Hope: Oh, hi, carter. Are you two finished?

Carter: Depends. You need me to stick around and referee?

Steffy: Uh, no, we’ll– we’ll continue this conversation later.

Hope: Let me guess. You still trying to find a way to cancel my line?

Katie: I don’t know poppy very well, so I can’t say that li is right when she says her sister’s an opportunist. But with li administering the test, at least we know the truth will come out.

Bill: My daughter. My beautiful daughter.

Poppy: I can’t believe it. It’s true. You are luna’s father. Oh, baby. You finally got your answer. Bill is your father.

Luna: This is unbelievable. And– and you’re happy?

Bill: Happy? I’m beyond happy. I’m so– I’m so thrilled. And you are too.

Luna: Of course. I’m stunned. I’m amazed. I mean, I– I was hoping for this. Ever since my mom told me about you and how you two met, I thought maybe. But what were the chances.

Li: I don’t understand. I administered the test myself. I was positive you were lying. You are luna’s father. I can’t believe it.

Poppy: Believe it.

Li: You finally got what you’ve always wanted.

Poppy: What’s that mean? A wonderful man. A father to my daughter.

Li: A rich– very rich man.

Poppy: Are you that bitter? That you can’t even be a little happy for us?

Bill: Thank you for administering the test, li. For confirming what I had believed for quite a while. But now I think it’s time for you to leave.

Li: Luna. Just know. I wanted to make sure for your sake. Okay? And everyone’S.

Luna: Thank you, aunt li.

Bill: Well, uh… I guess it’s time we have our first official family hug.

Here’s liz.

Steffy: I won’t pretend. I’m very concerned about your line’s performance.

Hope: Well, your father has faith.

Steffy: My father is an artist. And he admires your vision. I’m just a realist.

Hope: Well, I don’t trust your judgment. It’s clouded. This is personal for you. And you wan to shelve my collection. Because you will do anything to get back at me and the logan’S.

Ridge: I’m not really stepping down. I’m stepping up. Because couture needs my help right now.

Brooke: I understand that. But who’s gonna run the company? Is steffy gonna do that by herself?

Ridge: No, I’ll be around. I’ll do whatever I have to do. I just can’t do all the day-to-day stuff.

Brooke: Steffy will do that. No, she has so much on her plate already. And she doesn’t really need more work.

Brooke: Okay, well, who’s gonna step in? I mean, eric’s already closed his chapter on that. And there’s carter. But he’s coo. And he’s very busy in that position already. So…

Ridge: I agree. So, I have an idea for someone who could, uh, help with the leadership.

Katie: So. Still nothing?

Rj: You think that means bad news?

Katie: I don’T… li?

Rj: What happened?

Katie: Uh, rj said that you did the paternity test.

Li: Yes.

Katie: So what did it say?

Li: My sister wasn’t lying. Bill is luna’s father.

Katie: Oh, my god.

Poppy: Are you okay, sweetie? You’re shaking.

Luna: I’m just– I’m just so excited. I’ve been waiting for this day my whole life.

Bill: And here I thought I could only make boys.

Poppy: I can’t tell you what it means to me to see you both so happy. I’m really sorry. That I kept you apart all these years. I was afraid. I should’ve done this years ago. Given you more time to know each other. For you to know your father. And for you to watch your girl grow up. I took that away from you. From both of you. And I just hope that you can forgive me. Skin craving next level hydration?

Steffy: I’m sorry if your feelings got hurt. But as co-ceo, it’s my job to make tough decisions.

Hope: You know, I think my mother would agree with you there.

Steffy: Your mother?

Hope: She had to make hard decisions as well when she ran this company.

Steffy: Okay, here we go with the logan’s again. Great.

Hope: My mother did more than just run this company, steffy. She was an innovator. The belief formula. Brooke’s bedroom. Her ideas continue to pay huge dividends for this company. And yet you had the audacity to dismiss her from the meeting earlier.

Steffy: Brooke stepped back from her responsibilities a long time ago, hope.

Hope: Well, that was a mistake. And one that she needs to correct. And who knows? Maybe if I get through to her, she will. Brooke logan is a respected and admired figure in this industry, steffy. And she has earned her place here. So mark my words. She will find her way back to forrester creations.

Steffy: Is that supposed to intimidate me or something?

Hope: Hmm. I don’t really care how you feel about it. But like it or not, the logan’s are here to stay.

Ridge: You know what I’ve been thinking about is my dad. How did he run this company and still find time to be creative?

Brooke: He didn’t do it alone.

Ridge: Exactly.

Brooke: He had his children and now his grandchildren.

Ridge: And my mom. I mean, she knew how to run a company and a family and get them through anything.

Brooke: Oh, yes, that is true. Stephanie was a powerhouse. And your daughter’s very much like her.

Ridge: Yes, she is. And I– I love the time that we have together. But things have to change now. And I need someone. And the only person I can think of, someone who is qualified and capable to step in to help us right now, somebody who’s respected by everyone in the building is… what do you say? Will you help lead forrester creations into the future?

Rj: Luna finally has the answer she’s always wanted. She knows who her father is.

Li: Her mother seems to have known all along.

Katie: Bill.

Li: Bill.

Poppy: Can you forgive me for keeping you apart?

Bill: I’m the one who never called, disappeared.

Poppy: It doesn’t change how guilty I feel.

Luna: Mom, would you stop? I am beyond happy. I don’t want you to feel guilty or have anything ruin this special moment, okay? This is a moment I’ve been waiting for, for my entire life.

Poppy: I fell in love with you years ago. We spent one perfect, unforgettable night. And I never heard from you again. I thought I lost you forever. But now for us both to be parents to luna, it’s a miracle. I’ve never felt so much love. I’m looking at my precious daughter, and her father. You don’t have to say it back. It’s just… I’m so full of love right now. It’s no longer just I have a daughter. It’s we have a daughter.

Bill: I should’ve reached out years ago. I was an idiot. I mean it. How could I not love you, poppy? You have brought this beautiful, accomplished young woman into my life.

Bill: My daughter.

Li: It’s time we find out who luna’s father really is. Is it you, bill? Or is my sister lying?

Katie: Li said some harsh words about poppy. There could be some truth behind them.

Rj: Then the paternity test will say if poppy’s claim’s legit.

Katie: I guess you’re right.

Liam: Hey. Oh, hey.

Katie: Hey.

Liam: Uh, actually I was here to pick up some stuff for beth, but kind of ironic running into you. You wanna guess what my dad just told me?

Katie: Oh, sure, I’ll guess. That luna could be his daughter?

[ Steffy exhales ]

Ridge: It’s gonna take all of us. This is not something that you can decide on your own–

Steffy: Dad.

Ridge: Yeah.

Steffy: You’re my co-ceo. We’re partners. We need to be on the same page.

Ridge: Can’t always agree on everything.

Steffy: But know hope for the future was on the decline. And yet you still sided with her.

Ridge: I didn’t side with anyone. I did what was best for the company. And losing hope for the future right now is not what’s best for the company.

Brooke: Oh, it’s okay. Don’t worry, we’ll just see you later then. Okay. Hi, hope. That was donna. She can’t meet us for lunch after all.

Hope: Oh.

Brooke: So, what happened at the meeting?

Hope: Hope for the future lives on.

Brooke: Oh, really?

Hope: Hmm. Yeah, ridge totally ruled against steffy.

Brooke: Oh, my god. I– I am thrilled. I mean, this is fantastic news.

Hope: I know.

Brooke: I’m so happy for you, honey.

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: Goodness.

Deacon: Hey, you decided to come back. I didn’t know if I was gonna see you again.

Tom: Oh, deacon, you know, I heard what you said.

Deacon: Here, let me help you with your bag.

Tom: Oh, no, no, no, no. Please, I got it.

Deacon: It’s okay.

Tom: This– this is all my worldly possessions.

Deacon: Yeah. Uh, tom, listen, um… we never would’ve found that warehouse without you. Which means I wouldn’t have found sheila and I definitely wouldn’t be married. I know I can’t repay you, but i was serious about what I said. I’d– I’d really like to offer you a job.

Tom: Deacon, you’re being real nice to me. I just wanna let you know that most potential employers, they– they don’t really like to hire dudes that– that struggle with bad habits.

Deacon: I guess it’s a good thing that I’m not most employers. As far as bad habits, I certainly have enough of my own. Look, are you good now? You in recovery?

Tom: Oh, yeah, I’m counting days.

Deacon: Okay, good. Are you gonna show up on time? You gonna work hard?

Tom: Yes, sir.

Deacon: Don’t ever call me sir again. The offer still stands. What do you say?

Tom: I’m in.

Deacon: All right. Lucky to have you.

Tom: Yeah.

Steffy: It’s a big risk. The numbers speak for themselves. Look, I don’t wanna be in the same position that we were when thomas left the last time and we were screwed with the line.

Carter: Steffy, I understand your concerns. I really do, but now that i think about it, I agree with ridge. Hope for the future’s a central component of forrester and she just put together a new team. They need time to get established. And the designs, they look good, right? They’re good designs, so give them some time to turn things around next quarter.

Steffy: It’s not gonna be the same without thomas. I mean, dad, it looks like you’re gonna have to pitch in.

Ridge: I don’t– I don’t wanna pitch in. That’s not what I… no, what I want is to focus on couture. That’s where I need to be right now. I need less responsibility, not more.

Steffy: What are you saying?

Liam: You’ve heard? You’ve heard?

Rj: Yeah, no, luna told me.

Katie: I haven’t said anything to will, not until we get confirmation either way.

Rj: It’s crazy to think you might have a little sister, liam.

Liam: Yeah, well, you should see my dad. He’s, uh… excited.

Poppy: I already bought a paternity test, li. The same kind.

Li: Mine’s sealed. And I’m a medical professional. So there’s no room for error.

Bill: All right, enough with the sibling rivalry issues between you two sisters. I don’t want anything to tarnish what’s happening today. Poppy finally admitted that i could be luna’s father. And I would like nothing more.

Luna: Me too. I’m praying that you’re my father, bill.

Li: Then let’s find out. Shall we?

Deacon: Hey, tom, let me ask you something. Um, how are you fixed for a place to stay?

Tom: No, no, no, no, no. I’m fine, deacon. I’m fine. Listen, you’ve been so good to me. It’s been a long time since somebody’s believed in this old sack of bones.

Deacon: Tom, you changed my life. I mean, you gave us a future. Hell, you officiated at our wedding. Sheila and I are gonna be indebted to you forever.

Tom: God, you know, I wish I was the guy that had always the right words in my mouth. But I– I appreciate it. And so what can I do for you?

Deacon: We’ll figure that out. Um, have you ever worked in a kitchen? I mean, do you think maybe you could do a little food prep?

Tom: Oh, no. Kitchens? No, no. I– I barely know how to make one of those microwaves work.

Deacon: Okay, um… or do you think you could wait tables? I mean, I’m gonna be honest with you. It gets kind of hectic in here, but the tips are great.

Tom: No way. I would spill the drinks on the customers.

Deacon: Okay, all right. Put a pin in that.

[ Cell phone chimes ]

Deacon: Oh, sorry. Pizza order. Damn, my delivery guy already left.

Tom: Delivering pizzas? I can do that.

Deacon: You can?

Tom: Sure. I still have a valid driver’s license.

Deacon: This is perfect. Okay, uh, the keys are in the van outside. Just grab a uniform from the storage closet. Hey, tom, listen. This is– this is an important order, though, okay?

Tom: Listen, deacon, I got you.

Steffy: You love your job, dad. No one knows the ins and outs like you.

Carter: She’s got a point, ridge.

Ridge: Okay, I’m a designer. That’s what I wanna do. Not put out fires. Yeah, I can do it, but I don’t wanna do it. You wanna do it. You’re good at it. You should be doing it.

Steffy: Are you serious?

Ridge: I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be right here. I just don’t wanna deal with salaries and– and budgets. I… look, thomas is gone. Dad isn’t here that much, so someone has to come up with product. Because without product, we don’t have a company. We all understand that, right?

Hope: You should’ve been in that meeting.

Brooke: Oh, honey. I’m just glad it all worked out. I’m glad steffy won’t be able to shut down your line.

Hope: Well, the look on her face when ride and carter agreed with me, I mean. And the fact that they acknowledged the belief formula and the bedroom line, it was priceless.

Brooke: Well, my career has always brought me tremendous pride and joy.

Hope: Well. You were the face of the company for decades, mom. You were ceo. I mean, what can’t you do? You’ve got brains, beauty, talent, confidence. I mean, have you ever considered stepping up again? I mean, would you ever want to take a more active role in forrester?

Liam: Well, the suspense is a bit much.

Rj: Imagine how bill and luna are feeling right now.

Liam: Yeah, it sounds like they’re both kind of hoping it’ll work out.

Katie: According to li, poppy would love nothing more.

Luna: Okay, so how does this work? My mom said something about a swab, or?

Li: Well, it’s totally painless. I’ll swab the inside of your cheeks. Then we’ll insert the sample into a solution. Then we’ll dispense the solution onto a testing strip. Then we wait. Two stripes, bill’s the father. One stripe, he’s not.

Luna: Sounds easy enough.

Poppy: Exactly. No reason for you to barge in here.

Luna: Guys, can you please chill for like two seconds? This is a huge moment in our lives.

Poppy: Hey, yeah, sweetheart, I’m sorry. Let’s just get the test done.

Bill: Yeah, we’ve waited long enough.

Luna: That’s for sure.

Bill: Hopefully soon I will be told that you’re my daughter.

Breathing claritin clear

is like…

Ridge: We’re in a good place right now. The company’s making money, business is booming.

Steffy: Everything except hope for the future.

Ridge: Forget about hope for the future for a second. They’re gonna be fine. They’re gonna bounce back. Gotta be optimistic. Carter agrees, and he knows what he’s talking about. That’s why he’s here. And I’m here because I need to design. Because if I don’t, couture’s gonna suffer. It’s on you.

Steffy: On me? What– what do you mean? I mean– I mean yeah, I have the ability. I have the experience. But that is a big responsibility. And you know I have so much on my plate right now. Are you sure about this?

Hope: You should take on a real leadership position at the company. I mean, mom, the company never flourished as much than when you were in charge.

Brooke: Well, it was a thrilling part of my life. Really, I loved it. And I could run that company effectively. Distribute capital efficiently. And steffy, giving up on hope for the future. A lucrative line because of one mildly depressed season. I mean, that is– that is not competent leadership.

Hope: Look at you. You are all lit up. I mean, you want back in, don’t you?

Brooke: Maybe. I have a lot to offer. And there’s a lot that I would change. But ridge and steffy, are heads of forrester, and I don’t wanna step on any toes.

Hope: Hmm. You mean you don’t want to upset the high and mighty and all-knowing steffy forrester.

Brooke: Right.

Liam: You serious? Li called poppy a gold digger?

Katie: Apparently she has a type. Very wealthy.

Rj: She thinks that poppy’s trying to manipulate it so bill believes that he’s luna’s father.

[ Knock on door ]

Katie: Oh.

Tom: Hello? I’ve got a delivery for an rj.

Rj: That is me. Thank you so much.

Tom: Oh, well, you’re welcome. Here– here– here’s this.

Rj: Oh, thank you, napkins, yeah

Tom: Enjoy the pizza. It’s really good.

Rj: Well, you got the tip online, right?

Tom: Oh, yeah, I’m good. Thanks guys.

Rj: Thank you. I was hungry, so i ordered some pizzas. You– you want some?

Katie: Yeah. Yeah, I– I could use a slice. Sure. I mean, it could be a while before we find out if luna is bill’s daughter.

Li: Now we wait. Soon you will know if your mother’s telling the truth. If bill really is your father. (Woman) purina one true instinct unlocked her true instincts.

Tom: Hey, boss.

Deacon: Hey, that was quick.

Tom: Yeah.

Deacon: Did everything go okay with the delivery?

Tom: Oh, no, it went really smooth.

Deacon: Yeah?

Tom: You know, they– they they tipped online? What– what does that mean?

Deacon: I’ll explain that to you later. You’re hired. All right.

Ridge: You know I don’t wanna make things more complicated for you, right? But I have to focus on design. You– you get that.

Steffy: Dad, it’s not that i can’t do the job, it’s just–

Ridge: I know you can. Of course you can. If anyone can do it, you can do it. But if you think you need help, then let’s find somebody. There’s gotta be somebody at forrester who can step up.

Hope: You were the best ceo. Our buyers miss you so much.

Brooke: Oh, and I miss them, too. Paloma in madrid. I mean, she was a dream to do business with.

Hope: Mom, I don’t think you can even begin to understand the amount of people who still continue to reach out asking about you. I mean, you go online. You’re still all that people can talk about. And not just because you are a brilliant creator and inventor of one of the most highly profitable, like, innovative formulas out there. But because you’re brooke logan. You’re a personality. You are a– a coveted legend in the fashion world.

Brooke: Well, thank you, honey. That’s very sweet of you to say.

Hope: Uh, I just think that you should be the one leading the company forward.

Brooke: There’s no room for me at the top. Steffy and ridge are co-ceo’S.

Hope: And how exactly did steffy become ceo? Her dad. It’s not like she put in years and years of hard work like you did. And now that she’s trying to erase the logan influence from the company. I mean, please. I would like to see what forrester creations would be without the logan influencE.

Brooke: I don’t like how she targeted you and your line. That’s for sure.

Hope: I’m just… I’m tired of it. For years and years, she’s acted like we’re beneath her. Like we’re trash from the valley. Okay, fine. Sure. Yes, you were a caterer’s daughter. But you got an education. And you worked your way up. And that is not something to be ashamed of. You created opportunity through your determination. And your willpower. And steffy? She doesn’t value that. It’s just an elitist attitude. And I am sick of it. Mom, please. I am begging you. Make your way back to the company. Take control. And together, we can put an end to steffy’s reckless leadership.

Liam: Well, that was a good idea. It’s phenomenal.

Katie: Definitely a needed distraction.

Rj: Yeah, I was hoping we would have some news by now.

Liam: Would you consider keeping me posted? I– I hate to be a jerk, but I’m late for a meeting.

Katie: Yeah, of course. Absolutely.

Rj: Wait. It’s luna. She says they’re taking the paternity test right now.

Li: Nervous, penelope?

Poppy: Wouldn’t you be, li? You can see how much luna wants bill to be her father.

Li: You’d like that too, wouldn’t you?

Luna: Okay, how much longer is it?

Bill: It’s gotta almost be time.

Li: Not much longer. I remember this house well. It’s really great to see you again, bill.

Luna: Wait, you two knew each other?

Li: Should I tell luna or should you?

Bill: Have at it.

Li: I’m sure you’ve heard of finn’s birth mother, sheila. Well, she ran me off the road one night.

[ Explosion ]

[ Li shouts ]

Luna: Oh my god.

Li: It was horrifying. I completely lost my memory. I was lost, confused, traumatized. Until a remarkable man found me.

Luna: Bill? Bill saved you?

Li: He brought me here. And took wonderful care of me.

Luna: Wow. I mean, what an incredible story to think that you had that experience with my aunt.

Li: Bill came into my life years ago, and now we’re waiting to see if he’s your father.

[ Beeping ]

Li: Well, look what we have here.

Luna: What is it? Is it one stripe or two?

Poppy: Come on, li. Stop playing games. Answer the question.

Bill: Am I luna’s father or not?

Poppy: I’m sorry that I– I didn’t tell you both the truth sooner.

Bill: You have nothing to apologize for. Your priority has always been your daughter. I hope our daughter.

Luna: I hope so too.

Poppy: We can find out right away.

---

Katie: So, after denying that Luna was Bill’s daughter, Poppy just had a change of heart?

RJ: Maybe she didn’t want the public scrutiny of people saying that she was after him for his money. And she didn’t want her character questioned.

Katie: How long have you known her, RJ? Come on in.

Li: Hi. Sorry to interrupt. I’m looking for Steffy.

RJ: Hey. Steffy. Yeah, she’s in a meeting. She’s in a meeting right now. Do you want me to get her for you? Is it pressing?

Li: No. Not pressing. I was driving by. Thank you.

Katie: Oh, hi. Hold up just a second. I, um, I wanna talk to you about something. It’s about your sister? Apparently, she’s claiming that Bill is Luna’s father?

---

Hope: To even consider cutting Hope for the Future today is both impulsive and foolish, Ridge. I believe that your daughter has taken whatever issues she has with me too far.

Steffy: It’s not personal, Hope. It’s business. In order for a business to be successful, you need to make profits, not lose them.

Brooke: Hope for the Future’s in a transition.

Steffy: Okay, Carter, will you tell them how bad the numbers are?

Carter: They’re not good.

Steffy: Yeah, they’re not good. That’s why we need to pull the line. Can’t watch this tank. Those profits could go towards something better. More reliable lines.

Brooke: Oh, my God. Ridge, are you hearing this? You have to do something.

---

Donna: How was, uh, your workout?

Eric: It was amazing.

Donna: Yeah?

Eric: I got a lot done. I really accomplished a lot. I think I’ve earned myself three extremely dry martinis.

Donna: Ah-ha.

Eric: All right. Just one.

Donna: One martini, yeah.

Eric: So, anything happen while I was gone?

Donna: Well, um, Hope came here really upset because, uh, Steffy threatened to cancel Hope for the Future.

Eric: What?

Donna: Yeah. Obviously, Hope is devastated. I– I mean, she’s not gonna give up, but she is determined to try to save her line.

---

Carter: Brooke, Hope, I understand your frustration, but no decision has been made. I advise we have an official meeting about the future of H.F.T.F.

Ridge: I agree.

Steffy: Yeah. Brooke, will you excuse us?

Brooke: You’re asking me to leave?

Ridge: I’ll handle it.

Brooke: I hope you do. I know I haven’t played an important part in this company for quite some time. Maybe that was a mistake. You know how I feel. You know where I stand.

Steffy: Okay, let’s not waste any more time. We need to discuss the fate of Hope for the Future.

---

Li: My sister’s claiming Bill Spencer’s Luna’s father?

Katie: I would’ve thought that would be something that you would’ve known. I mean, that’s– I would never keep anything like that from my sisters.

Li: Your sisters aren’t manipulative opportunists.

Katie: What are you saying?

Li: My sister’s a gold digger.

---

Bill: We don’t have to wait much longer to learn the truth.

Poppy: We can find out today.

Bill: I know how important it is to you to finally find out who your father is. But you have to be ready. And if you are, I hope with everything in me that it proves that you’re my daughter.

---

RJ: Listen, I know you and your sister have a very tense relationship, but to call Poppy a gold digger, that’s not–

Li: It’s true. It’s true. My sister’s very manipulative. Don’t trust her.

Katie: So, you think she’s making this up? That Bill isn’t really Luna’s father?

Li: Yes. And I’m going to make sure this ends today. Do you know where my sister is?

RJ: Yes. She and Luna, they’re at Bill’s.

---

Donna: Uh, yeah. Maybe this will do.

Eric: Oh, all right, all right. I’ll wait. I’ll wait. I’ll wait.

Donna: Nothing new, but– Thank you.

Donna: Oh, hey. What? You’re back early. I– I just told Eric that, um, Steffy wants to cancel Hope for the Future.

Brooke: They’re having a meeting about it as we speak.

Eric: Well, what’s Ridge saying about this?

Brooke: Steffy asked me to leave before Ridge was able to say anything.

Donna: Wait, what? Steffy asked you to leave?

Brooke: I don’t know what Steffy’s thinking. But she is in for a rude awakening if she thinks she can cancel Hope for the Future without a fight.

---

Steffy: You’re making this personal, Hope. This is about what’s best for the company. It’s legacy. But I shouldn’t expect anything less coming from–

Hope: From what? A Logan? You want to talk about respecting the Forrester legacy. Uh, Carter, what is one of the biggest money makers for Forrester to this day? Something that was created in a lab here decades ago?

Carter: Brooke’s BeLieF formula continues to pay huge dividends, even all these years later.

Hope: And what else continues to be highly profitable?

Carter: The bedroom line.

Hope: Exactly. Both created by my mother, who you essentially just kicked out of this meeting. The disrespect that you have continued to show my family is ridiculous. I mean, you want to eliminate the Logan influence from– from Forrester when it’s our influence that has made Forrester the highly successful company that it is today. So, does that sound like strong leadership to you? Or someone who has a personal vendetta against my family and me?

---

Katie: Any news?

RJ: No. Look, I know that Li had a lot to say about Poppy, but it doesn’t change the fact that Bill could still be Luna’s dad.

Katie: How do you feel about that?

RJ: I don’t know. I don’t know. I mean, it’s– it’s– it’s my girlfriend’s dad. And– and I’d be really happy for her if she got to know him, ’cause she’s wanted to for a long time. But on the other hand, come on, it’s Bill. Of all people, it’s Bill. And I just– How can I not worry if it turns out that he is Luna’s father?

---

Poppy: Okay, well, it’s pretty simple. We just need a swab from both of you.

Luna: Um, before we get started, I just– I just need to let you know that if you really do end up being my father, there are no expectations or obligations or anything like that.

Bill: Uh, Luna, I already told you. If you’re my daughter, there is nothing I wouldn’t do or give you. If the test says that I’m your dad, that makes me one hell of a lucky man.

Luna: All right. Okay, let’s do it.

Li: Hold it right there. I know what you’re up to.

---

Eric: I realize that Hope for the Future’s numbers haven’t been up to snuff, but, uh, but for Steffy to wanna cancel the line? No.

Donna: I cannot believe she actually asked you to leave. I mean, along with Eric, you practically made Forrester Creations, Brooke. I mean, you’ve done more for that company than Steffy ever has. Unbelievable.

Brooke: And I appreciate you saying that, sweetie, but all I can think about right now is Hope. She put everything into that line, and now Steffy wants to kill it? It’s just not right.

Hope: My mother’s contributions to Forrester are invaluable. So please tell me what revolutionary, highly profitable contributions you’ve made, Steffy?

Ridge: All right. Let’s all take a step back. Can we do that?

Carter: Guys, we’re here to make an unbiased, objective decision about Hope for the Future.

Hope: And how can an unbiased decision be made when the co-CEO is purposefully looking past the success that my mother and I have brought to this company?

Carter: Hope, we’re well aware that the BeLieF formula and the bedroom line have been integral to Forrester.

Ridge: And so is Hope for the Future.

Steffy: So what? You’re siding with Hope and Brooke?

---

Katie: I can understand your concern about Bill being Luna’s father, but I’m more concerned about Poppy. For her sister to say those things about her? I– I know that you say that Poppy is a strong, independent woman, but has she done anything or have you heard of anything that would cause you any alarm?

RJ: No. Poppy has her faults, yes, and yeah, she’s made some mistakes, but is she this conniving woman that her sister’s making her out to be? No, I don’t– I don’t think so.

---

Li: Looks like I got here right on time.

Bill: Li, what’s going on?

Li: Well, I heard about Penelope’s claim about you being Luna’s father.

Poppy: Yes, I said that it could be a possibility. Not that it’s any of your business.

Li: No, it’s my business, because Bill is Kelly’s grandfather, and I’m very protective of Finn’s family.

Poppy: Huh. Finn and his family don’t need protection from me.

Li: So you say. Tell me, why did it take you so long to tell Bill about Luna? Hm? I think I know why. He’s your M.O., right? Rich. Handsome. Rich.

Bill: All right, look, I don’t know what this dynamic is between the two of you, but if you think that’s what Poppy’s doing, you are way off base.

Li: No, you don’t know her like I do, Bill.

Poppy: Hm.

Li: You have no idea what she’s capable of.

Poppy: You are so out of line.

Li: Maybe. Maybe not. But we’ll soon find out. I will oversee the paternity test. I’m sure a licensed professional would give you all a strong peace of mind. We want to make sure the results are accurate, don’t we?

---

Donna: Hope cannot lose her line. She just– she just can’t.

Eric: Steffy’s a really good co-CEO. I’ve been very, very happy with what she’s done for a very long time now, but Forrester has a strong set of checks and balances in place. Anything she wants to decide, Ridge has to agree.

Brooke: And I have to believe he won’t. There’s no way that he’s going to let Steffy eliminate Hope for the Future in a personal attack against my daughter.

Ridge: You do all realize that we’re on the same team, yes?

Steffy: Are you really gonna listen to Hope and Brooke over–

Ridge: What I want right now is for us to take a–

Steffy: Dad, this is business.

Ridge: I know it’s business. And you’re right. I’m sorry. Hope for the Future hasn’t been performing well. But I believe in you and the team you put together, and I think pulling the plug on this is premature. Carter?

Carter: Let’s wait and see next quarter’s numbers. We can reassess then.

Ridge: I agree.

Carter: All right, we have that meeting with that potential buyer from Milan, Ridge. We should get going.

Ridge: You two, Thomas, you’re the future of this company. If we– if we can’t work together, we can’t succeed. So, do me a favor. Figure this out.

Steffy: Gloat all you want. It’s not gonna fix the mess that you’re in.

Hope: Um, please, Steffy, you know this was never about my line. Look, we don’t have to like each other, but I at least thought that we could work together, but I was wrong. You have continued to attack me and vilify my family. So fine, if you want to pretend that my family hasn’t helped make this company the huge success that it is today, all right, go for it. But we’re gonna prove you wrong.

---

RJ: I just can’t believe that Poppy is some gold digger out to trick Bill. I don’t believe it.

Katie: And you can say that with % certainty. Listen, you know, if Poppy is trying to pull a fast one, I’m just grateful that Li is there to stop her.

Li: We’ll use my test instead.

Poppy: This is ridiculous. It’s the same exact test.

Li: Yes, but mine’s sealed. I’ll administer it from beginning to end.

Poppy: Okay. This was an intimate moment between the three of us. Whatever the results are will have a huge impact on my daughter. Do you get that?

Li: Oh, yes, I do. But I want to be certain that Bill and Luna get the correct information.

Bill: I know your sister’s coming on a bit strong.

Poppy: Strong? She’s being disrespectful.

Bill: True. But she is a doctor.

Li: That’s right. I’m a professional. I can confidently oversee the test. Unless there’s a reason why you wouldn’t want me to?

Poppy: This isn’t about you. This is about Luna. I love my daughter. I want her to know the truth about her father.

Li: That’s why I’m here, Penelope. To make sure everything stays truthful.

Poppy: How dare you! How dare you suggest that I would do something so devious and underhanded!

Li: Because I know you, Penelope.

Luna: Aunt Li, please.

Li: I’m so sorry you’re in the middle of this. I really am. But this is your mother’s doing. Because there isn’t a chance in hell that Bill is Luna’s father. That’s why I’m doing the test.

Poppy: No, you’re not. I want you to leave. Now!

Bill: No. Li stay. We have nothing to hide, right?

Luna: Okay, I don’t care who does the test. The wait is killing me. I just– I need to know if Bill’s my father or not.

Li: It’s settled then. I’ll administer the test. Soon, we will find out if you are definitely Luna’s father. Or if you’re lying.

Hope: Are you sure I didn’t scare donna off?

Brooke: You didn’t, honey. You heard her. She wanted to check on eric and make sure he was doing okay in his workout.

Katie: Well, that was her excuse. I have to admit all this talk of war with steffy feels a little intense.

Hope: Well, that’s exactly how it should feel. But steffy is about to find out that I am not going put up with her antics any longer.

Brooke: I just can’t believe that she would do this. Threaten to kill hope for the future.

Hope: Well, it’s not going to happen. I won’t let steffy do it.

Steffy: You seem shocked, but I’m serious, carter. I think it’s time we permanently end hope for the future.

Ridge: What’s this?

Steffy: We were just talking about the hope for the future numbers.

Ridge: No, I heard you. And you’re suggesting what? We get rid of hope’s line?

Bill: We don’t know for sure. Haven’t done the testing yet.

Liam: But, whoa. But she– she’s admitting this. Like, after all this time getting reacquainted with you, she’s only now telling you you could be her daughter’s father?

Bill: Better late than never.

Luna: Bill spencer could be my father?

Poppy: It’s possible. It’s highly possible.

Luna: I– what, I– I don’t understand. When I brought it up earlier, you–

Poppy: I wasn’t ready to face it yet, sweetie. I mean telling you. And telling him. I just wasn’t sure.

Luna: So, now you’re saying that I might’ve already met my father? And it’s bill spencer?

Poppy: Yes, honey. Yes.

Liam: I mean, you seem pretty psyched.

Bill: I am.

Liam: Just– okay. Is there any– any part of you that’s, I don’t know, upset with poppy? I mean, she’s been back in your life for a while now. You’d think it would’ve come up already, right?

Bill: She was afraid to tell me, liam.

Liam: Okay, but why?

Bill: Come on, you know as well as I do how many opportunistic gold diggers wanna tag me as their baby daddy? She didn’t want me to see her that way.

Liam: I mean, yeah, all right, fair. I get that. It– it’s just– there’s nothing wrong with tagging you if it’s true. And besides, luna’s an adult, right? It’s not like she’s coming at you for child support.

Bill: No, but– but there was something else. Another reason that poppy was afraid. Getting hurt. She’s in love with me, liam.

Poppy: I wish I knew how to explain.

Luna: I can’t understand. What, that you’re just telling me this now after all these years? That bill spencer could be my father?

Rj: Wait, what? Bill, actually?

Poppy: Uh, yes. He could be luna’s dad.

Luna: Can you believe it, rj? I might get to finally know my father.

Ridge: So you’re suggesting we cut a line that’s been a staple here for years?

Steffy: Well, forrester is couture, first and foremost. And I think we need to set aside our feelings and just focus on what’s best for the company.

Ridge: Oh, all right, so this is just business. There’s nothing personal about any of this stuff.

Hope: Steffy is trying to destroy every part of my life. I mean, she couldn’t be satisfied with just destroying my relationship to thomas. Sending my son out of the country. No, now she has to go after my job.

Brooke: Not just your job. Hope for the future. And that’s been your passion for years.

Katie: Right, and the message behind it.

Hope: But steffy doesn’t care about the message. Don’t you see? She doesn’t care about what good it does in the world. All she cares about is about sticking it to me and to our family. Because believe me, it is not just about the line. It’s about her versus the logan’S. And I am tired of her continually attacking us. And I’m not going to stand for it any longer.

Ridge: So you’re suggesting we cut a line that’s been a staple here for years?

Steffy: Well, forrester is couture, first and foremost. And I think we need to set aside our feelings and just focus on what’s best for the company.

Ridge: Oh, all right, so this is just business. There’s nothing personal about any of this stuff.

Hope: Steffy is trying to destroy every part of my life. I mean, she couldn’t be satisfied with just destroying my relationship to thomas. Sending my son out of the country. No, now she has to go after my job.

Brooke: Not just your job. Hope for the future. And that’s been your passion for years.

Katie: Right, and the message behind it.

Hope: But steffy doesn’t care about the message. Don’t you see? She doesn’t care about what good it does in the world. All she cares about is about sticking it to me and to our family. Because believe me, it is not just about the line. It’s about her versus the logan’S. And I am tired of her continually attacking us. And I’m not going to stand for it any longer.

In our family there was

a passion for glass

making that’s passed down

through the generations. We

stood on somepretty broad shoulders to get to where we are at today. On ancestry I was able to actually put together our family tree. Each person is a glass worker.

That’s why we do what we do.

We can’t help it. The glass blowing – that’s a part of our dna.

It’s in my blood,

it’s in my history.

It’s my job to make sure

that this shop makes it

Bill: Poppy said that she never truly loved a man before. Till me.

Liam: Well, that’s, uh, that’s intense.

Bill: Yeah, very. And it explains her fear of getting hurt.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I guess if she told you about luna and you rejected her, it’s like you’re rejecting poppy and her daughter.

Bill: But liam, you’ve got to understand, it’s always just been poppy and luna. You know, they have an extraordinarily tight bond. And it’s taken poppy a long time to come to terms with sharing her daughter with anyone else.

Liam: But you- you’ve, I mean, you’ve thought about this and you’re ready and willing if it does turn out.

Bill: Absolutely. Yeah, I– I told poppy that if I’m luna’s dad, I am going to make a place for both of them in my life.

Liam: Wow. Well, wait a second. Does luna know about any of this?

Bill: As a matter of fact, poppy’s talking to her about it right now. And I hope she’s as excited as I am.

Rj: You’ve been wanting to know who your father is forever. I’m so happy for you. Even if it is bill.

Luna: Okay, okay, well, we don’t know for sure yet, but I’m dying to know if it’s true.

Poppy: Well, let’s go to bill now and put this in motion. He’s expecting us. I told him that I wanted to break the news to you first.

Luna: Yeah, yeah, let’s do it.

Poppy: Okay.

Luna: Wish me luck.

Rj: Yeah, good luck.

Steffy: I don’t know what you’re suggesting. Okay, look, is hope my favorite person? Absolutely not. But if her line were bringing in the numbers like it used to be, then I would be telling carter to fund the hell out of it.

Carter: Ridge, your daughter’s proven herself. She’s a smart businesswoman. There’s a reason why she’s co-ceo of this company.

Ridge: And there’s a reason why you do what you do. You agree with this?

Carter: I don’t disagree.

Steffy: I wouldn’t think of cutting the line if it was as successful as it used to be. But it isn’T. And now that thomas is gone, I don’t think it ever will be again.

Hope: If he wants to go to battle with the logan’s, fine. Let her. She won’t win.

Brooke: Honey, do you really think that’s what this is about?

Hope: I mean, mom, she’s practically despised our family for, I don’t know, most of her life. It’s like stephanie passed it down to her with her name.

Katie: Hope isn’t wrong about that.

Brooke: Okay, so what do we do? How do we stop her?

Hope: Well, for starters, I don’t think we should be having this conversation here. I think we should be at forrester creations, in the trenches, not sitting on the sidelines and just letting steffy steamroll us all.

Katie: Well, she is ceo. She has authority.

Hope: Co-ceo. With ridge. Which… why am I even saying that? We don’t even need ridge. Mom, you have clout there. Everything you have done for that company, no really, you’ve taken a backseat there for far too long.

Katie: Hope could be right. Your contributions to forrester are legendary. They continue to pay huge dividends and to this day, and we were just talking to your mother about becoming more involved in the company. I mean, you used to have such a place of prominence.

Hope: Well, maybe it’s time. Maybe it’s time to reclaim your place at forrester creations. Reclaim your power. Katie and I will support you. And who knows? Maybe with us together working as a team, steffy won’t stand a chance. All of the things thatyou’re looking for in a pad, that is always discreet. Look at how it absorbs all the liquid. Oh my gosh! And locking it right on in. Look at that! Totally absorbed. I got to get some always discreet.

Katie: Oh, hey, rj.

Rj: Hey.

Katie: Nice to see a friendly face.

Rj: Hmm?

Katie: Oh, nothing, just sometimes it feels like there are teams around here. Uh, my sister and hope are looking for steffy. Do you know where she is?

Rj: Uh, steffy, um, yeah, she’s, uh, she’s across the hall.

Katie: Are you okay? Seems like your mind is elsewhere.

Rj: Yeah, you could say that.

Katie: Rj? What’s up?

Rj: I just– I walked in on luna and poppy earlier. You know who poppy is, it’s luna’s mom?

Katie: Yeah, we’ve met.

Rj: Right. Well, she had some huge news for luna. She’s been keeping it a secret, who luna’s father is.

Katie: Okay.

Rj: Well, the secret’s out. Um, turns out her father might be bill.

Katie: What?

Poppy: Bill?

Bill: Hi.

Luna: Hey.

Bill: So it looks like your mom gave you the news.

Luna: Yeah, she did.

Bill: I imagine you’re in a bit of shock right now. I know I am. I mean, this is so crazy, right? We were just talking about this not that long ago.

Luna: Yeah, and we both thought it was impossible, but now…

Bill: But now, it could be true. I might be your dad. How do you feel about that, luna?

Ridge: Steffy, I don’t ever wanna question your instincts as the ceo of this company. I love what you do. You’ve grown into this businesswoman, this– this person that can deal with the corporate world, and– and you’re good at it. You love it. I don’T. I– I just wanna get back to designing, that’s it.

Carter: Ridge, what are you saying?

Steffy: Are you thinking about stepping down?

Brooke: Oh, good. Just the people I wanna talk to.

Steffy: Ah, we’re in the middle of a very important meeting.

Brooke: Have you heard what your daughter’s up to? She wants to cancel hope for the future.

Ridge: We were just talking about that, yeah.

Brooke: A line that has a proven track record, has been very profitable for this company.

Steffy: Well, that was then. We’re talking about now.

Ridge: And we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Hope: Well, I’m not going to let steffy kill hope for the future. Not without a fight. Missing out on the things you love because of asthma? Get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. Fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. Allergic reactions may occur. Don’t stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. Tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. Headache and sore throat may occur. Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Step back out there with fasenra. Ask your doctor if it’s right for you. Want the power of 5 serum benefits in 1? Olay super serum activates on skin to hydrate, smooth, visibly firm, brighten, and improve texture. It’s my best skin yet. Olay my name is juanita segura, and I was diagnosed in november of 2014 with non-small cell lung cancer. Through just doing online activity, I found out about biomarker testing.

[Juanita segura] My fear was I wasn’t going to be here to see my children grow up. That gave me hope, knowing that I have that chance. Ask your doctor how comprehensive biomarker testing before treatment treatment may help you decide on the best treatment for you. Visit noonemissed dot org for more.

Steffy: Hope, I appreciate your passion for the line. It’s part of what made it so popular.

Brooke: So you admit, hope for the future is successful.

Steffy: Was successful. Fashion evolves, and so do we.

Brooke: Steffy, this has nothing to do with the company. This is about you and your vendetta against my daughter.

Steffy: Okay, I don’t know what hope told you, but this is not a personal attack.

Hope: Are you really going to stand there and say that with a straight face?

Steffy: It’s a business decision. Carter, tell her. Tell her about the numbers.

Carter: It’s true.

Hope: Well, in this moment, yes. The line is in a period of transition, and we all know why. Steffy got into thomas’ head and urged him to move out of the country.

Steffy: Okay, that’s not what happened. And honestly, if you believe you only need one designer for hope for the future and he’s not there–

Hope: Hope for the future has a strong, creative design team with or without thomas. And I am certain that we will bounce back.

Brooke: Yes, you will. I believe in you, honey. And your line. Ridge, it’s your turn to chime in here as co-ceo. Steffy says this isn’t personal, but we all know better. She is determined to take every bit of happiness from hope. Her relationship with thomas, her son, and now her line? Come on, this is ridiculous. This is going a little bit too far, don’t you think?

Steffy: Dad, please do not listen to brooke. She is being an overprotective mom, and she only cares about hope’s wants and needs. That’s not how it works around here. I think we need to talk about this. Hope for the future needs to come to an end. Today.

Rj: Listen, listen, I get it’s a shock for you for so many reasons, but it does kind of add up.

Katie: Oh yeah, oh yeah, it does, absolutely. I mean, poppy runs across this extremely rich guy that she hooked up with years ago, and suddenly he’s the father of her child.

Rj: Aunt katie, come on, you’re not saying…

Katie: Why hasn’t she come forward sooner?

Rj: I don’t know. She’s proud of being able to raise luna on her own and not needing the father’s help.

Katie: Well, I hope he’s at least smart enough to get confirmation.

Rj: Aunt katie though, if this is true, and bill is luna’s father, then your son just gained a sister.

Bill: If you have mixed feelings, I totally get that. I mean, I wouldn’t expect you to embrace the idea right away. But if I am lucky enough to be your dad, that would make me incredibly happy.

Luna: Um, I’ve wanted to know who my father is for a really long time, and it’s always been like this question mark hanging over my head for like all my life. And now for the first time, my mom’s given me a name, and it’s not just any name or any man. It’s– it’s a man that I can tell my mom loves, and a man that’s been nothing but good and kind to me.

Bill: I will continue to be that person no matter what we find out. That is my promise to you. But if it’s true, and I am lucky enough to be your dad, I promise you I will step up in every way. And I will be the best dad to you that I could possibly be.

Poppy: Well, we can find out right away. I picked this up on my way to see luna. Unless you’d rather wait and– and test at the hospital?

Bill: No, no, no, no. It makes some kind of public spectacle out of this. That’s the last thing I want. These tests are very reliable, and honestly, I don’t wanna wait any longer. Uh… luna, you deserve to know. Is that what you want?

Luna: Yes, definitely. The sooner the better. I wanna know. I– I’m praying that this test proves you’re my father.

Steffy: Here’s a look at what’s ahead…

Luna: Okay, let’s do it.

Li: Hold it right there.

Hope: The disrespect that you have continued to show my family is ridiculous.

Ridge: So, what do you say?

Steffy: Here’s a look

Steffy: Here’s a look at what’s ahead…

Luna: Okay, let’s do it.

Li: Hold it right there.

Hope: The disrespect that you have continued to show my family is ridiculous.

Ridge: So, what do you say? Will you help steffy and me lead this company forward.

Hope: You can’t be serious.

Steffy: I don’t say things I don’t mean, especially when it comes to the fiscal health of this company. Tough decisions have to be made.

Hope: And you’re making this decision without any input from me.

Steffy: Hope, your line is in trouble. I wish that weren’t the case.

Hope: I somehow seriously doubt that.

Steffy: Okay, you can think whatever you want, but I have to think about this company. If that means cutting your line, then I’ll have to do that.

Brooke: You’re not sure about luna’s mother?

Donna: What exactly do you mean by that?

Katie: Just what I said.

Brooke: Well, you told us that she and bill are an item, but you and bill are close too, despite the fact that you’re not married anymore.

Donna: So, we have to ask you again, sis. Is there still a part of you that wants another chance with bill?

Bill: It’s really true. You and I could have a daughter together.

Poppy: Yes.

Bill: I mean, I could be the dad that luna never had growing up.

Poppy: Yes, bill. Yes, you could be luna’s father.

Luna: My mom’s told you that I don’t know who my father is. Well, has she ever mentioned anything or any ideas on who it could be?

Bill: We discussed it. And for a while, I thought, maybe hoped, that it could be me.

Luna: Is bill spencer my father?

Poppy: No, honey. Bill isn’t your father.

Li: I need to speak with you, luna. It can’t wait.

Luna: What can’t?

Li: Your mother and bill’s relationship. I need to know where things stand. Tell me everything.

Katie: I’ve already said that I don’t see a future with bill.

Donna: Yes, you said that, but is that how you really feel?

Katie: Are– are you accusing me of not knowing my own heart, my own mind?

Brooke: We are not accusing you. We love you.

Donna: Sweetie, we just want you to be happy.

Katie: I am happy.

Donna: Okay. But could you be happier? You know, if you had what you once had with bill. When things were really good between you two.

Li: I know poppy’s been spending a lot of time with bill, but I’m also aware that your mother has a history. A pattern of dating older, very wealthy men. I don’t think her intentions are pure.

Luna: So you’re saying my mom uses men? That she’s a gold digger?

Li: That’s precisely what I’m saying.

Poppy: I’m so sorry for not being more transparent with you earlier.

Bill: No, you– you don’t have to apologize. I understand. You were afraid. You have nothing to be afraid of. This could be the most incredible blessing. And not just for you and me, but especially for luna. We both know what needs to happen next, poppy. A paternity test. Today.

Hope: You can’t just shut me out like this.

Steffy: I’m not. I’m including you in the decision making. Especially where the financial viability of hope for the future is concerned.

Hope: Well, if that were true, I– I feel like I would’ve been a part of the conversation much earlier, so that I could make some corrections in order to save the line.

Steffy: Okay, how could you do that?

Hope: Oh, so in other words, you are tanking the line.

Steffy: As co-ceo of this company, it’s my job to make this company more profitable. Make tough decisions, hope.

Hope: Exactly. Co-ceo. Steffy, you aren’t running this company just on your own. I mean, have you even run this by ridge?

Steffy: Okay, that’s besides the point.

Hope: Because he had a very different view.

Steffy: It’s besides the point, hope. Okay, well, you know, I think it is– it is the point, if what I suspect is true.

Steffy: Which is?

Hope: That this decision to cut my line, it’s not strictly business. And I’m right, aren’t I?

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Steffy: Seriously, you think I’m canceling your line to teach you a lesson?

Hope: Oh, so you admit you are canceling it.

Steffy: That is yet to be determined.

Hope: Oh, but it’s heading that way.

Steffy: Hope for the future has lost its footing.

Hope: Well, I’m not the one who strong-armed thomas into taking my son and leaving the country and costing my line its lead designer.

Steffy: Okay, thomas had to do what was best for him. And his son. So, we’re done talking about it.

Hope: Well, of course we are, because you know–

Steffy: The one thing I know is that I’ve been concerned about hope for the future for a very long time. And I gave you time. You and your team to pull it together, but you haven’T. Now, it’s time to take action. So yes, I will be talking to my father. And I will be talking to carter. A decision has to be made on your line.

Katie: Wow, you two really know how to put your little sister on the spot.

Donna: Sweetie, that– that is not what this is about. We just wanna make sure that you’ve really turned the page with bill or is there something more that you wanna explore?

Brooke: We can tell on some level you still love him and miss him. Unless we’re misreading you. Are we?

Katie: No, you’re not entirely off base. I mean, bill gave me a life. We had a lot of good times together. He opened up the world for me, in a way. He gave me a love that I never could’ve imagined. And the best gift of all, our son. I mean, will, is– he is– he is the light of my life.

Brooke: And bill’S.

Katie: Yeah, he’s been a remarkable father to will. He really has. And we’ve had a lot of amazing times as a family.

Donna: Look, you and bill share– share a child together and that is something luna’s mother will never have with bill.

Luna: Please, aunt li, let’s not do this again. Okay, I realize that you and my mom have your differences, but–

Li: It’s much more than that. I see who poppy really is. The way she’s lived her life.

Luna: She’s lived her life raising me. And caring for me and– and loving me.

Li: Spoken like a loyal, devoted daughter. Who perhaps is wearing blinders where her mother is concerned.

Luna: Until recently, maybe that was true. Maybe I did put her on a pedestal, but I’ve realized that she’s human. And she’s gonna make mistakes, just like the rest of us. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t still love her. And I’m not gonna defend her when I feel like she’s being unfairly attacked.

Li: By me. Because of what I said about her and bill.

Luna: My mom has fallen for bill. He means a lot to her.

Li: Of course, he does. He ticks all the boxes. He’s handsome, older, rich, very rich, but he’s also kelly’s grandfather. And as everyone knows how protective I am of finn’s family. I won’t allow poppy to take advantage of bill.

Luna: Okay, this is ridiculous. My mom’s feelings towards bill are nothing but genuine. And he’s crazy about her, too.

Bill: Luna could actually be my daughter.

Poppy: You really want that?

Bill: I can’t wait. Are you kidding me? You know, luna has spent her– her whole life not knowing who her father is. And if it’s me, I’ve gotta make up for lost time. I wanna get that relationship going yesterday. We need to do this paternity test. Right now, today.

Poppy: Hey, I agree. But– but first, I wanna talk to luna alone.

Bill: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I just hope she’s as excited as I am about the possibility of me being her father.

Katie: I appreciate both of you saying what you’re saying, but bill and I have been apart for quite some time and he seems quite smitten with luna’s mom.

Brooke: Maybe. But it seems deep down, he would like to reunite will’s family.

Donna: And not just for will’s sake. Look, if the love that you have for bill has never gone away, katie…

Hope: Hi. Mom, please. Katie, donna, I’m sorry to interrupt. I just– I heard my mom was here, so.

Brooke: Hi, honey. What’s up?

Hope: Um, I just came from a meeting with steffy and something needs to be done about her. She’s completely out of control.

Carter: It doesn’t look good. I mean, hope for the future’s in transition, but these latest projections…

Steffy: They’re worse than what we expected.

Carter: It’s definitely falling short. But like ridge said, if we give the line time to bounce back.

Steffy: Carter, you’re our coo. Do you really think we should just wait around, cross our fingers, until hope for the future comes roaring back? I didn’t think so.

Liam: Okay, you have been pushing me to get this deal wrapped for weeks now. I’ve been working day and night, nonstop, just to make it happen for you. And then finally, when we’re down to the wire, I can’t find you. I gotta come chase you down at home just to get a– a sig– a– hello? Hello, dollar bill spencer. Hi.

Bill: What? What? What?

Liam: Have you heard a– a–

Bill: No, no, I haven’t heard. No, not really, ’cause you’re like, blah, blah, blah.

Liam: Okay. Ooh, not sure what to do here. Um, what is going on with you today?

Bill: Um, well, poppy was here just before you arrived.

Liam: Oh. Oh. Oh, god. Did I almost interrupt like a–

Bill: No, no, no, no, no. It’s not what you think.

Liam: Okay. What is it, then?

Bill: What is it? Uh, it’S… well, poppy, uh, told me something that was just mind-blowing.

Poppy: Hey, luna? Can you take a break? I really need to talk to you.

Luna: Mom, I’m working.

Poppy: This is important. Very much so.

Luna: What? What’s going on?

Poppy: There’s something you need to know. It’s about your father. To give your teeth a dentist clean feeling.

Liam: You said poppy just left?

Bill: Yeah.

Liam: You guys argue?

Bill: What? Do I look upset to you?

Liam: No.

Billy: Angry?

Liam: No.

Bill: Well, then?

Liam: Well, then what?

Bill: Ah, you know, liam, you are my son, and I consider you to be a fairly intuitive person, and yet, when it comes to read your old man, you’re like, whew. When I said that poppy told me something mind-blowing, I meant in a good way. Hell, in a great way. I mean, I’m thrilled.

Liam: Oh. Okay. All right. You’re thrilled. You’re thrilled? I’m thrilled you’re thrilled. What– what– what– what are we thrilled about?

Bill: Ah, life, liam. Just life. Poppy and I were reminiscing about that– that one night that

Liam: Music festival. We spent together.

Bill: Yeah, yes. Well, um, the one regret that i always had is that it was just that one night, that I let all of my business distractions get in the way, and I– I never reached out to poppy again. And I– I never even thought for a moment that there was a possibility that– that, um… well, poppy, she told me something yesterday. And, uh, liam, poppy finally admitted that I could be luna’s father.

Luna: My father? What about him?

Poppy: Um, I know that for most of your life, you’ve wondered who your father is.

Luna: Yeah. Only you’d never tell me, for reasons I still don’t completely understand.

Poppy: I’m sorry, sweetheart. It’s– it’s just that I loved our life together so much that I didn’t think that I needed anyone except– except my beautiful and my precious daughter.

Luna: And what, that’s changed?

Poppy: Over 20 years ago, on one magical and unforgettable night, I was with the most amazing and unique man. It’s a man that I fell in love with from the moment I saw him. And that’s why I always told you that you were made from love.

Luna: Okay, mom, I need to know. You have to open up. You need to finally tell me who my father is.

Poppy: Yes, and this is why I’m here, to give you the incredible news. Now, I am not 100% certain, but there is a chance, a very good chance, that your father… is bill.

Luna: What? Bill? My– my father could be bill spencer?

Poppy: Yes. Yes, honey.

Luna: Oh, my god. I– I’ve almost given up hope to ever knowing, uh– uh… and to hear you say that it– it might be bill spencer?

Carter: You’re really considering killing hope’s line?

Steffy: Hope for the future is underperforming in a very big way, and thomas isn’t here to save the day.

Carter: I know, but come on, steffy. There’s no way brooke will let that happen.

Steffy: Well, brooke isn’t ceo, carter. I am.

Brooke: What has steffy done now?

Hope: Oh, you won’t believe it. Actually, wait, what am I talking about? What am I saying? You will believe it because it is just so typical of her.

Brooke: What is?

Hope: Well, pulling rank. You know, her vindictiveness. I, look, I– I am not going to deny the fact that hope for the future is going through a rough patch right now, given the way that thomas left.

Brooke: Thanks to steffy convincing him to run off to paris and leaving you and your line in a lurch.

Hope: Exactly. That is something that takes time to recover from. And I knew it was going to be challenging and I wasn’t about to throw in the towel. I mean, hope for the future means so much to me, and it is so much more than a clothing line. It’s about empowering women and backing the causes that we care about. And that doesn’t matter to steffy at all. My name is on the line, she wants to destroy it, just like she’s trying to destroy me.

Donna: Wait, hope, what are you saying? This– this–

Hope: Well, steffy’s already helped destroy my relationship to thomas. You know, encouraged him to move across the world and took my son with him, and now she’s trying to take hope for the future away from me as well.

Brooke: What? No, sweetheart.

Hope: No, mom, it’s true. Steffy wants to cancel hope for the future. She says that it’s a business decision, but we all know that is not the case. This is about her personal vendetta against me. This is about her trying to take something that I care so much about away from me yet again, and I am tired of it. I’m not going to allow it, mom. Look, I’ve tried to play nice, but if she wants to do this, if she wants to go after my line and pit the forresters against the logans, then let her. Steffy has another think coming and she’s going to regret it because this time, it’s war.

Steffy: Yes, we are very excited to be working with you next season. I’ll have my father contact you personally about the fitting. All right. Ciao, mariella. Buona notte.

Hope: You wanted to see me?

Steffy: I did. Ah, could you please close the door? I’ll just get right to the point. We need to discuss hope for the future.

Bill: Do you know who luna’s father is? Could it be me?

Poppy: Yes, bill. It could be you. You might be luna’s father. Here.

Bill: Thanks.

Poppy: You must be tired. You were tossing and turning all night.

Bill: Well, can you blame me after what you told me yesterday? Your daughter could be my daughter.

Rj: Are you serious? That you wish that, you know, bill spencer could be your dad?

Luna: Yeah, I think about it sometimes.

Rj: Even though your mom denied it?

Luna: I mean, my mom and bill had just started reconnecting when I first brought it up. And don’t get me wrong, okay? I– I think about us a lot more often. But I don’t know. I can’t help but find myself wondering about bill. What that would be like, especially now that they’ve gotten so much closer.

Brooke: Hm. I do miss seeing you at the office, eric.

Eric: Yeah, you better. I’m glad to hear it. Although, I am enjoying myself here, taking my time, healing and spending time with donna. Planning a trip here and there, and allowing ridge and steffy to run the business for the time being.

Brooke: And they do. I mean, ridge grumbles about not having enough time to design.

Eric: He does.

Brooke: We all know how important it is for the two of you to spend time together.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: But quite frankly, sis, I think you should spend some more time at the office again.

Eric: Actually, I think that’s a really good idea. I mean, you’ve contributed a lot to our success.

Brooke: Oh, well, thank you. But like you, I have taken a step back.

Eric: If that’s what you wanna do, that’s fine. But, um, we can always use your input.

Brooke: Well, I do miss having an active role at the business.

Eric: You’re a legend in the business. You really are. I mean, the belief formula alone, let alone brooke’s bedroom and the first men’s line, all of them innovations that we couldn’t have done without.

Donna: Oh, he is so right. If you wanna get back there, you should just go for it.

Brooke: I’m not sure how steffy would feel about that.

Katie: Hello, hello.

Donna: Hello. Oh, my gosh, you got my message. Thank you for coming.

Eric: The house is full of logans. Very nice.

Katie: Isn’t it nice? Oh, and since you’re both here, I wanna share a little news. I stopped by bill’s yesterday and met the new woman in his life.

Donna: Anyone we know?

Katie: Luna’s mother, poppy.

Rj: I just didn’t realize you still wondered about bill being your father.

Luna: Yeah, sometimes. You know, if he could be or what he’d be like. I know, I know it’s stupid. My mom already said that bill isn’t my dad, but then again, she said that about every guy in her past, so.

Rj: I don’t understand. Why has your mom been so secretive about who your father is?

Bill: Luna could really be my daughter.

Poppy: Are you absolutely sure that you’re not upset?

Bill: Upset, no– I told you last night, I’m not upset. I’m– I’m surprised. I mean, I asked you before and you didn’t want me to know?

Poppy: I was afraid.

Bill: Afraid of what?

Poppy: You and I hadn’t been seeing each other very long, and then luna and I were at odds. There was just a lot to consider. I raised luna on my own. We were a team. That’s how I raised her. I’m an independent woman and I never needed a man. Or so I thought. Until you.

Hope: Well, I can run back to the design office so you can see our newest designs.

Steffy: No, no, no, you don’t have to do that.

Hope: I– I thought you said this was about hope for the future.

Steffy: Yes, it’s current iteration. Look, rj and zende, they are great designers, but the collection hasn’t been the same since thomas left, so…

Hope: Well, I don’t disagree, but, uh, thomas also left in large part due to your interference, steffy. I have active psoriatic arthritis.

Steffy: No, no, no, no, no. Don’t blame me for what happened between you and thomas.

Hope: Well, I wasn’t the one who told him to leave town with douglas.

Steffy: You’re the reason why thomas left.

Hope: You know how much I miss them and how difficult this has been for me. Having to be a mother halfway across the world, having to hear the change in thomas’s voice on the phone.

Steffy: I know you’re dealing with a lot. That’s why I delayed this conversation with you.

Hope: About hope for the future?

Steffy: Yes.

Hope: Okay, well, I’ve already had this discussion with ridge and carter, and they both assured me that I would have the company’s support during this transitory time.

Steffy: That was then, but as co-ceo, it’s my job–

Hope: Steffy, do I need to remind you that you essentially were the one who packed thomas’s bags and shipped him to another country? I understand that we need results, but results take time. But I’m putting together an entirely new creative team here, and I would really appreciate some patience and understanding, but honestly, when it comes to you, steffy, you’ve never wanted to give that to me. Gosh, I have put up with it for so long, but honestly, enough is enough, steffy. I’m not going to let you mess with my life anymore.

Brooke: So, bill and poppy have known each other over 20 years?

Donna: And you have never heard of her before?

Katie: Apparently, they were just together that one night, and then they lost contact with each other until they randomly bumped into each other again. I mean, I– I have a lot of questions, but it didn’t really seem like the time. They didn’t seem like they were expecting company, and I don’t know, bill seems quite taken with her.

Eric: We all think the world of luna.

Donna: And if she’s anything like her mother, poppy must be lovely too.

Brooke: Luna is very much her own person.

Donna: Yeah, I wonder– I wonder actually if– if luna is getting to know bill, because if– if bill and poppy are getting close like this, it would make sense for them all to want to get along.

Eric: I can’t imagine a man as full of himself as bill is wanting to have any role in luna’s life.

Luna: Yeah, I don’t know. Like, I– I thought that it’d be different when I got older, like when I finally became an adult, she’d tell me who my dad is, but she’s actually become more reluctant to talk about it.

Rj: Well, you told her it won’t change your relationship with her.

Luna: Yeah, but maybe she doesn’t believe me. Or maybe she’s afraid that it will. Sometimes, it felt like she didn’t want someone coming in. You know, she don’t want someone interfering with our little family.

Rj: You said she dated, right?

Luna: Yeah, but it was nothing serious. Like they were nice guys, but there was no commitment.

Rj: I mean, maybe that’s just not poppy’s thing.

Luna: Or maybe if it was the right guy, the guy that she truly loved and loved her back.

Rj: Someone like bill spencer?

Bill: I– I guess what I couldn’t wrap my head around yesterday, and I’m still having a hard time with it today, is you didn’t want me to be luna’s father?

Poppy: No, it wasn’t that.

Bill: But then– then what? Because you obviously didn’t feel like you could be honest with me.

Poppy: It’s not a simple yes or no answer for me, bill. All right? Luna’s paternity is a very complex and emotionally charged question for me. And when you asked me a while back, I just– I got overwhelmed thinking about the fallout. I’ve never loved a man. I’ve only ever loved my daughter. She’s my everything. And I’ve only ever been completely committed to her and only her.

Bill: And that’s commendable. But poppy, if– if you thought that I was luna’s father, I mean, I told you how happy that would make me, how proud I would be.

Poppy: Please try to understand that I didn’t tell you the truth because I wasn’t ready to face it. My sister, li, has berated me for most of my life, calling me an opportunist, a gold digger. And I can only imagine how many women have crawled out of the woodwork claiming that you were the father of their children. I didn’t want you to judge me or think that I was one of them.

Bill: I know that you’re not.

Poppy: I didn’t want to think about luna’s father and what his presence could do for the life that I had made for us… until you came back into my life. Until I fell for you. My dry eye’s made me a burning,

Steffy: Hope, why are we making this personal? This is a business meeting.

Hope: Hope for the future is personal to me.

Steffy: And normally, I’d be all for that. I love the passion. I love the energy. But what you’re doing right now, it’S…

Hope: I’m– I’m not going to back down when it comes to my line or my team.

Steffy: Hope, this industry isn’t patient. It’s all about what’s new, what’s next. We keep it moving.

Hope: And I understand that we have hit a rough patch, but I am confident that we will be able to move past it.

Steffy: Well, as co-ceo, I’m not confident of that at all.

Brooke: Well, it’s nice to know that eric’s taking his recovery serious.

Donna: Yeah, yeah, he just, uh, loves his trainer. He always comes back so invigorated and…

Katie: I’m glad he’s taking care of himself.

Donna: My god, I just love my honey bear so much and I just want him to be as healthy as possible, you know? I mean, I usually go with him, but my sisters are here.

Katie: Oh, well, we don’t wanna keep you.

Donna: Are you kidding me? I wanna know everything you know about bill and poppy.

Katie: I’ve already told you everything I know about bill and poppy.

Brooke: You know how bill raises his children, how he’s been raising will. Maybe you have a different perspective.

Katie: That he would wanna be a part of luna’s life? I mean, I don’t know. Bill loves his sons, and he’s fiercely protective of them, but I don’t think that extends beyond his family.

Donna: Yeah, I– I agree. I mean, I can’t see bill being involved in luna’s life. And, I mean, come on. I mean, he’s good with his boys, but other people’s children? I don’t think bill spencer’s gonna be involved with luna.

Brooke: Well, with everything going on in luna’s life lately, I think she would be even less interested in this new man that her mother’s seeing.

Luna: I know you’re not bill spencer’s biggest fan.

Rj: No, I’m not. Honestly, my whole family feels that way, luna, and for good reason.

Luna: Okay, well, I don’t know what bill was like in the past, but he’s been really good to my mom. And he’s been nothing but kind and sweet to me.

Rj: Really? Bill spencer? Sweet?

Luna: Like, there was this one time, um, he came to the apartment, and I had just gotten into an argument with my mom, and he was really understanding. And he told me what it’s like to be a parent, and how he wanted the best for his kids. I couldn’t help but think to myself, like, “what would my life be like if I had a dad like that?” Because that bill is exactly the kind of man that I’d want as my father.

Poppy: You know, I’m not afraid of rejection. I like myself the way I am.

Bill: Well, there’s a lot to like. And I saw that the first time we met. So confident.

Poppy: I thought I saw something in you too, bill. And what we shared that night, it was like nothing I’d ever felt before. And I thought you felt the same. But then…

Bill: But then you never heard from me again. I’m sorry, poppy. I can see how much I hurt you.

Poppy: Well, there’s no need to apologize now, right? What we’ve shared, and reconnecting like this, it’s been amazing. It’s everything I thought it could be, and more.

Bill: I agree. And that’s why if there’s even the slightest chance that luna could be my daughter, I need to know. We both need to know. Moving forward withnode-positive breast cancer.

Hope: Steffy, hope for the future is one of forrester’s most impactful lines, and zende and rj are talented designers. You’ve said so yourself.

Steffy: Yes, they are. They are the next generation of forrester creations, but they could be working on more lucrative projects.

Hope: Well, our sales have been wonderful up until this point.

Steffy: Up until this point. A high-concept line? That has a lot of overhead. Marketing, materials, charitable affiliations. Look, I just don’t see hope for the future as one of my visions anymore for this company.

Hope: Your vision? Look, my team will prove themselves, okay? We just need time.

Steffy: I think your time is up, hope. That’s why I wanted to speak to you one-on-one. I didn’t wanna blindside you. I’m thinking about cutting hope for the future.

Donna: So, now that eric is gone, tell us how you really feel.

Katie: I’m just as honest around eric as I am with you.

Brooke: You said you were surprised to see bill with poppy.

Katie: Yeah, I didn’t realize he was seeing anyone.

Brooke: How do you feel about that?

Katie: I didn’t expect him to live like a monk, brooke. And as I told bill, he doesn’t answer to me.

Brooke: Would you like him to?

Katie: Would I have liked him to tell me that he was seeing someone, poppy or whoever? Yes, I would have liked that because I thought we had that kind of relationship, but I don’t know. I– I will always love bill. You know, not just because he’s will’s father, but because we’ve meant a lot to each other and do I see a future with him? I don’t know. I do have to say though, luna’s mother, I’m not so sure about her.

Luna: I don’t know why I’m acting like this. I mean, it’s stupid to go on and on about bill being my father because he isn’T.

Bill: If luna is my daughter, I will stand by her and you. You will both have a special place in my life, poppy.

Poppy: I was right about you. You are the most wonderful man.

Bill: Well, let’s see if you’re right about the rest of it. You know what we have to do, poppy? We need to know.

Poppy: Yes. Thank you. This is what I was afraid of. Opening up. I love you, bill. And I loved you from the moment I first saw you.

Bill: Let’s do it now. Today. Let’s find out if luna’s my daughter. A daughter. I could have a daughter.

Poppy: Yes, you could have a daughter.

Bill: Wow.

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: You were at sheila’s wedding?

Finn: By accident. Okay, I was picking up the pizzas from il giardino.

Steffy: And deacon and sheila just happened to be getting married?

Finn: Yeah. Steffy, I had no idea it was going on. The ceremony was supposed to be at the beach.

Steffy: You weren’t just there, finn. You were part of the ceremony.

Liam: Well, I know how you used to feel about sheila, and now she’s your stepmom, so that’s fun.

Hope: Ooh, yes, definitely not my first choice. But she is my dad’s, so I– I have to support him.

Liam: Correction. You don’t have to support him. You’re choosing to support him, ’cause that’s the kind of daughter that you are and he is beyond lucky to have you.

Hope: I don’t know. You know, the weird thing is, they seem really, really happy together.

Liam: Gross. You know what the weird thing is to me? That finn showed up. What, is he out of his mind?

Rj: So, I’ve done the math. We have about 98 more kisses to make up for, okay?

Luna: I hated every second away from you, rj?

Rj: Not as much as me.

Luna: I’m just– I’m really glad that we were able to work through everything because it’s been so hard.

Rj: Yeah. On both of us. Which reminds me, how are, um, how are you and your mom doing?

Poppy: Bill and I go way back.

Bill: Way, way back.

Katie: Yeah, yeah. Twenty years. That’s a long time to be friends.

Bill: Yeah, poppy and I lost touch for a while.

Poppy: Yeah, and then we just happened to run into each other again.

Bill: Totally unexpected. I was grabbing some lunch, and then there she was.

Poppy: Fate brought us back together again for a reason. Gave us a chance to reconnect.

Luna: Yeah, I wish things were back to normal with my mom, but, you know, we’re trying to get to a better place, but i honestly haven’t seen that much of her recently. She’s been hanging out with bill spencer. I’m starting to think that she’s really falling for him.

Katie: So, how did you two meet?

Bill: We met at a music festival in the bay area.

Katie: A music festival?

Bill: Ah, here we go. Yeah, a music festival. Why is that so weird?

Katie: Um, I’m just trying to visualize dollar bill grooving it up in the grass.

Bill: Oh, well, you just– you take all the time you need. Uh, the fact is that poppy caught my eye. And here we are, some 20 odd years later, back in each other’s lives.

Katie: Well, that must’ve been one hell of a night.

Liam: Look, I’m not here to give you a hard time.

Hope: Oh, I would appreciate it if you didn’T. Besides, you probably won’t get where I’m coming from.

Liam: I mean, I rarely agree with my father, but he’s still my dad, so I kind of do.

Hope: Yeah, it’s just my dad and I were estranged for so long, and I just– I don’t want to go back to that.

Liam: I know your reason for feeling obliged to be there kinda at least makes some sense. Finn is a whole different story.

Steffy: What were you thinking? What, you just happened to stumble upon their ceremony?

Finn: Yeah. Now, look, I told you, I had no clue it was even taking place.

Steffy: Why wouldn’t you just take the pizza and leave?

Finn: They weren’t ready.

Steffy: So, you just stayed around and participated?

Finn: Look, I just– I– I don’t know. I didn’t know what to do.

Steffy: Well, you gave sheila exactly what she wanted. How could you do that?

Rj: So, poppy’s actually falling for bill?

Luna: Yeah, that’s the vibe I’m getting.

Rj: I mean, well, I can’t say I’m surprised. I mean, they’ve been on a ton of dates recently. I mean, what– what makes you think it’s gotten more serious?

Luna: Well, is it that serious for him? It’s hard to tell, but…

Rj: Luna, come on. Poppy’s this pretty, creative, smart– I mean, she’s all the good things. I mean, why wouldn’t bill be into her? Come on.

Luna: My mom’s always been super popular with guys, but it’s always been casual. I mean, my mom’s focus has always been the two of us, you know? Nozawa power. But I’ve noticed like this change in her recently.

Rj: Because of bill spencer?

Bill: Well, I’m sure you’d rather not discuss my love life, katie.

Katie: Oh, I don’t mind if you don’t mind.

Bill: No, it’s not awkward for me. I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.

Katie: I don’t feel uncomfortable. I mean, you don’t have to explain anything to me. You haven’t had to do that in a long time. I’m just– I can see how happy you both are and– and as soon as I walked in here, I could tell that you had become close.

Bill: Poppy and luna have become a very important part of my life.

Katie: That’s good. I’m happy for both of you. I’m gonna take off. And, uh, truly, um, good luck.

Bill: Thanks, katie.

Poppy: It was lovely to meet you.

Katie: Yeah, same.

Bill: I’ll walk you out.

Liam: You know, he could’ve put his wife and his family first, but instead, he went with the not that option.

Hope: To be fair, sheila did kind of guilt finn into staying.

Liam: And he caved. Which tells me that if steffy asks finn for one thing, and sheila asks finn for the opposite thing, finn goes sheila.

Hope: Finn had no idea they were going to be at il giardino.

Liam: So what? So what? Let’s say it was dumb luck that he goes to pick up dinner and he just accidentally crashes his mom’s big day. What did he not do? Make a beeline for the door like any sane, rational, ethical human being. Instead, he stayed for the celebration.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, that is not how it happened. Finn felt deeply, deeply uncomfortable being there.

Liam: Yeah, I know. It’s uncomfortable when you directly disobey your wife’s wishes. She’s gonna be pissed.

Steffy: Were you planning on saying anything?

Finn: Of course, I was.

Steffy: When? Before or after the photo was posted?

Finn: I was just about to tell you, honey. And then you got the photo notification.

Steffy: Yeah, that photo just makes me sick.

Finn: I’m– I’m sorry you found out that way.

Steffy: So am I.

Finn: It was poor judgment on my part.

Steffy: Yeah. I asked you one thing. One. To not associate yourself with sheila. And what did you do? What did I just see? I see a picture of the two of you at her wedding.

Bill: You like it?

Poppy: A girl could get used to this.

Bill: Well, you ought to spend more time here.

Poppy: I’d love to.

Bill: I was also thinking we should take a little trip together.

Poppy: Hm.

Bill: Maybe the south of france. Monte carlo.

Poppy: Oh. Well, I’m gonna have to check my schedule.

Bill: Hm. Okay, you do that. You check your schedule. I’ve already been talking to my captain.

Poppy: Your captain?

Bill: I wanna take you on my yacht.

Poppy: You have a yacht? Like an actual yacht?

Bill: An actual yacht, yeah. The stella maris. Here, wait a minute. Ah, all right, take a look.

Poppy: Oh, wow. Uh, she’s yours?

Bill: Mm-hmm. All mine. What do you think?

Poppy: She’s beautiful, bill.

Bill: Yeah. She is beautiful. But not as beautiful as you. Something wrong?

Poppy: It was just meeting katie.

Bill: Yeah, I’m sorry about that. She has a tendency just to pop in. I– I guess she likes to talk about things in person. Like the parents weekend.

Poppy: Oh no, she’s fine. I mean, she was really lovely. She couldn’t have been sweeter, actually. But she was also intimidating.

Bill: Because she’s my ex?

Poppy: That, and she’s so accomplished and impressive. She’s so smart, stylish, pretty. It makes me wonder.

Bill: Wonder what?

Poppy: Why you weren’t together anymore. What happened between the two of you?

Bill: Uh, that is a very long story and I would just truthfully rather not get into it.

Poppy: Well, I just couldn’t imagine being married to you and then letting you go.

Hope: I don’t wanna lose my dad again. But that does not mean that I condone everything that he’s doing. I mean, believe me, this– this has not been easy for me.

Liam: Okay, well, there you go. I understand that you’re– you’re under a lot of pressure and this is complicated for you, but can we circle back one more time to the no sheila and beth in the same place at the same time? Can we just agree?

Hope: Yes, I understand, liam. But, food for thought, sheila did fight sugar to try to protect steffy and the kids. So maybe, just maybe, she is capable of change.

Liam: Ugh, now you’re really starting to sound like finn.

Finn: Look, I just– I don’t like seeing you upset.

Steffy: I can’t understand how you keep putting yourself in these situations.

Finn: Oh, but look, this was a total coincidence, okay? I had no intention.

Steffy: Of what? Being a member of the wedding party?

Finn: No, and it wasn’t like that.

Steffy: No, it was just the two of you. You and hope. You guys were the only guests. And now this photo of you, sheila and deacon, it’s on the internet for everyone to see.

Finn: Hey, I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do to make this right?

Steffy: You just have to learn to say no.

Finn: Okay, yeah. Honestly, you’re right. That’s exactly what I should’ve done. I should have just done a 180 and got out of there.

Steffy: Finn, this can’t– this can’t keep happening. I told you over and over again to stay away from sheila. And I hate to say it, but you– you let me down, again.

[]

Luna: My mom and I have always been so close. I mean, I know her better than anyone. And I am positive that she’s falling in love with bill.

Rj: How do you feel about that?

Luna: I’d be supportive.

Rj: Hm.

Luna: I mean, bill’s been nothing but kind to me. Sometimes, I kind of wish he was my dad.

Poppy: It’s funny, we only spent that one night together, but I don’t think you realize how much it meant to me, bill. Even more than I realized at the time.

Bill: In hindsight, I wish that I hadn’t been so totally engrossed in my business. That I had reached out, tried to find you. Gone on that second date instead of waiting two decades.

Poppy: I wish you had too.

Bill: It’ll always be a big regret of mine.

Poppy: I was heartbroken.

Bill: Sorry for hurting you, poppy.

Poppy: You know, it’s crazy. Our lives went in such different directions. And, you know, if only we could go back and do it over again and not spend all those years apart. The difference it would’ve made.

Bill: Poppy, with everything you’re saying, I have to ask.

Poppy: Ask what?

Bill: Is there any chance at all that luna is my daughter? Do you know who luna’s father is? Could it be me?

Poppy: Yes, bill. It could be you. You might be luna’s father.

Hope: We don’t get to choose our biological parents. I mean, it’s not finn’s fault.

Liam: Does finn really not understand how much he’s undermining his marriage? How much he’s putting his family at risk with this whole connection to sheila? I mean, you, you’re you. I can’t, you know, if you wanna have a relationship with deacon and sheila, that’s fine. That’s your choice. I can’t stop you. Once again, though, the kids.

Hope: Yes, I– I heard you and beth will not be around them.

Liam: Thank you. Just be careful, okay? Because I don’t want you putting yourself in danger either. Sheila is dangerous and I don’t want you to listen to anyone who tries to tell you otherwise, including and especially finn.

Hope: Great talk.

Finn: I’m sorry for letting you down. You know, obviously my interactions with sheila are making you feel unsafe.

Steffy: You don’t make me feel unsafe. But staying at deacon and sheila’s wedding, like that is, that was the wrong move.

Finn: Okay, yeah. Look, I’m sorry, but you gotta understand, like, today– today was random. Okay, it was the last thing I expected. And I just– I didn’t– I don’t know, man. I just– I didn’t know what to do.

Steffy: You knew exactly what to do.

Finn: Look, I’m not making any excuses, but I was in a weird spot.

Steffy: How many times do i have to tell you this? You need to stay away from sheila. I don’t care that she’s your mother. I don’t want you to have a relationship with her.

Sheila: Finn, I– I’ve been given a second chance. Thank god, my son, thank god.

[ Kelly coughing ] Thank you, finn, for– for being at my wedding, baby. I love you.

Steffy: How many times do I have to say it? You need to stay away from sheila. I don’t care if she’s your mother. You can’t have a relationship with her.

Hope: I– I know you’re a little nervous about how steffy’s gonna react to this, but I don’t know if she should be the one dictating what your relationship looks like to your birth mother. I mean, maybe that should be up to you.

Steffy: Kelly and Beth are all set up next door. They are having a blast already.

Liam: Yeah. God, that was nice of nellie to invite them over to a pool party last minute.

Steffy: Yeah. I guess it’s kind of a waste that I sent out finn to get pizza, because they’re gonna be having a feast over there.

Liam: No, it’s not a waste, because I want a slice.

Steffy: Oh, okay.

Liam: Aunt liam is hungry. Liam and his little friend, apparently. Where is finn, by the way? This is taking forever.

Steffy: Yeah, actually. Yeah, I thought he’d be back by now.

Deacon: Well, mrs. Sharpe, we did it.

Sheila: We did, didn’t we? Mr. And mrs.

[ Sheila chuckles ]

[ Hope clears throat ]

Hope: Congratulations, dad.

Deacon: Thank you so much.

Hope: I like seeing you so happy.

Deacon: Thank you.

Finn: Congratulations. It was A… beautiful ceremony.

Sheila: It was, wasn’t it? And you know what? Even more beautiful because you were here. Thank you. Thank you, finn, for– for being at my wedding, baby. I love you.

Poppy: Um… what do you say we take this upstairs?

[ Bill chuckles ]

Bill: Well, we could do that. But I think, uh… ah, right here works just as well.

[ Door opens ]

Katie: Bill? You home? Oh. Um… didn’t realize you had company.

Katie: Swear to god, I knocked.

Bill: Did ya? Yeah, I don’t think I heard the knock, but of course we were, um… you know what? Doesn’t matter. It’s not a problem. Have you met my friend poppy?

Katie: I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure. Nice to meet you, I’m katie.

Poppy: Hi, it’s nice to meet you.

Katie: Likewise.

Bill: You must know her daughter, luna. She’s interning at…

Katie: Oh, yeah, of course! Of course, I love luna, she’s lovely.

Poppy: Thank you.

Katie: Speaking of lovely children, have you given any thought to going and seeing will for parents’ weekend? We gotta rsvp.

Bill: Oh, oh, oh. You know will. Talking with him on the phone only goes so far, but, yeah, yeah, I’m in.

Katie: Okay, good.

Poppy: Oh, you’re that katie!

Katie: Yeah, that katie.

Bill: That katie.

Steffy: Hmm.

Liam: Nothing?

Steffy: No, he still hasn’t texted me back.

Liam: I mean, if he’s driving, that makes sense, right? Like, he’s gotta be on the road by now.

Steffy: Or il giardino’s maybe a little slow. Deacon’s not there to call the shots, so.

Liam: That is true. I mean, that place descends into utter chaos every time deacon takes a day off to marry the local psychopath.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Maybe I shouldn’t have sent finn to il giardino.

Tom: Um, I just– you need to sign right here, uh, right next to hope.

[ Finn sighs ]

Finn: You– you really need two?

Tom: Well, two’s better than one. I mean, you did witness the wedding, didn’t you?

[ Finn sighs ]

Finn: Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Tom: Well, then here you go. Right there. Great. I’ll get this right over to the county recorder’s office.

Deacon: Hey, tom. Hey. Listen, I just wanna tell you, sheila and I, we will be forever grateful to you. Thank you.

Sheila: Yeah, we couldn’t have done this without you.

Tom: Oh, no, please. I forgot how much I enjoyed doing these. I mean, it has been a long time. You know, I clean up pretty good.

Deacon: Damn straight you do! Look at this suit. I picked it out. What do you think?

Sheila: I’ll tell you what, it makes your eyes pop.

Deacon: I’m talking about more the ceremony, though. I mean, we wouldn’t have been able to do our vows at all if it wasn’t for you.

Hope: Aww. Our parents grow up so fast, don’t they?

[ Finn chuckles ]

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: I still can’t believe this just happened. I mean, I really just stood up for sheila carter as her maid of honor. [ Laughs ] But the, uh, reception has been lovely.

Finn: Yeah. No, it– it has.

Hope: Uh…

[ Both chuckle awkwardly ] Well, I– I could see that it meant a lot to her, you being here.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, I just was completely blindsided. I thought that– I thought they were getting married at the beach. I mean, I came here to pick up some pizzas.

Hope: Oh, pizza with a side of “I do.”

Finn: Yeah, well, it’s something that’s gonna take some explaining.

Hope: To steffy?

Finn: Yeah. She’s not gonna be thrilled about this. Not thrilled at all.

Hope: Toe?

Finn: Mmm.

When dry eye symptoms

Bill: So, did will tell you that his streak of a’s continued on his latest exam?

Katie: No! He’s not an open book with me the way he is with you. I have to, like, pry out every little, tiny tidbit.

Bill: No, you see, that’s what happens when you’re the favorite parent.

Katie: Oh, yeah, right. Sure. [ Chuckles ] Sorry. You don’t need to listen to us debating parental rankings.

Poppy: Oh, no, I don’t mind. It’s a funny concept to me, actually. I raised luna on my own, so I got to be the favorite parent by default.

Katie: Well, you did a wonderful job. She’s super smart. She helped me tremendously with a project that we just finished today, actually.

Poppy: Thank you. That makes me really happy to hear.

Katie: And you know what’s funny? She never once mentioned that her mom was friends with you.

[ Chuckles ]

Liam: You know, if you hadn’t given finn that ultimatum, he could very well be at sheila’s wedding right now.

Steffy: No, I don’t think he would have gone. Okay, maybe he was entertaining the idea, and you’re right. I’m glad that I spoke to him.

Liam: Do me a favor, if nothing else, for kelly’s sake: Look out for that husband of yours. Make sure he doesn’t get conned again.

Steffy: No, I– I will. I’ll be there for finn. No matter what sheila throws at him.

Sheila: Now, come on. You sure I can’t, like, toss you the garter on the way out?

Tom: Oh, no, no, no. Please, please. Been there, done that when it comes to marriage.

[ Sheila laughs ] But wait, don’t let my bad luck reflect on you guys at all. I’m sure you will ride off in eternal bliss. Thank you for including me in your ceremony.

Sheila: No, thank you for officiating it and… doing all that you did. I mean, you helped save my life, and– and– will I see you again?

Tom: Well, I don’t know.

Sheila: I hope so.

Deacon: Hey, what do you say we commemorate this moment? Come on, guys, get in here. Come on.

Tom: What? Oh!

Deacon: Smile! Yeah! Here we go. Look at that. That is a good-looking group. Deacon: All right, okay, put tom in the middle. Yeah!

Sheila: I like that. Here we go.

[ All laughing ]

Tom: Let me. Let me.

Deacon: You wanna take some? All right, okay. All right, I’m gonna get–

Tom: Let me be the wedding photographer.

Sheila: Okay.

Tom: That’s good. You guys are a beautiful couple. Wait, let’s get some family shots. To the beautiful, gorgeous family. Come on, come on.

Finn: You know, let’S…

Tom: Oh, come on, finn. Will you say no to the wedding photographer?

Deacon: All right.

Tom: Now, everybody get close. Come on, you guys are a family now. Come on. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Oh, that’s good.

Sheila: You’re getting us all in?

Tom: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on. There you go!

Deacon: All right.

Tom: God, you guys are beautiful.

Deacon: Thanks, tom. Give me this. Hey, come here. Let me talk to you for a second.

Tom: Sure.

Deacon: Let me ask you something. Um, so, uh, where– where are you going after this?

Tom: Well, I’ve got a motel room for the next couple nights, but, you know, after that, it’s– it’s kinda iffy.

Deacon: I was thinking that maybe you could come back during business hours. Look, tom, I know that you’ve hit some hard times, like a lot of good people, and I’d like to talk to you about working here.

Tom: Really?

Deacon: Yeah. I mean, the pay’s good, and as an added bonus, you get all the free food you want, even on your days off.

Tom: You know, I don’t know much about the restaurant business.

Deacon: Hey, that’s okay. I’ll train you myself. Just think about it, okay? And you come back real soon. Hey. Take these.

Tom: Are you kidding?

Deacon: No!

Tom: Thank you, deacon.

Deacon: You’re welcome.

Tom: I appreciate it.

Deacon: Thank you.

Tom: Thank you. Can I have one of–

Deacon: You take whatever you want. Please, take as many of the toes as you’d like.

Tom: These are really good.

Deacon: Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, I just, uh– I just wanna thank you both for being here. I mean, it really– it means a lot to both of us that you were here to share this. Hope, it was just– it was powerful for me to have you here. And, finn, I know you didn’t intend to be here, but damn, it just meant the world to your mother.

Finn: No, I– I– it was a sweet ceremony, and, you know, I really do wish you guys the best.

Deacon: Thank you.

Finn: But I– I really do need to get going home and get those pizzas, yeah. Okay? All right.

Did you know…

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: Hey! One more hug before you go.

[ Both chuckle ] Oh, and thank you. Thank you again. I mean, it just– it meant the world to me having you here today.

Finn: Hey.

Waitress: The boss said it’s on the house.

Finn: Oh, hey, thanks.

Deacon: It’s not gonna be an everyday thing just ’cause we’re family now, all right? Wife, let’s go.

Finn: Well, I appreciate it.

Sheila: Hey, thank you again.

[ Hope clears throat ]

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: That was, uh, something. Uh, good luck on your journey home. I– I know you’re a little nervous about how steffy’s gonna react to this, but, uh, you had no idea that this was going to be going on here, so I hope that she will be understanding. And besides… your parents are happy, and I think that should count for something.

Finn: I don’t think steffy’s gonna see it that way.

Hope: Who knows? Maybe she will.

Finn: She’s gonna–

Hope: No, I– I totally get it. You are in a very difficult position.

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: You want to respect your wife’s wishes, but at the same time…

[ Sighs ] I don’t know if she should be the one dictating what your relationship looks like to your birth mother. I mean, maybe… that should be up to you.

Finn: Hmm. Well, thanks for understanding that.

Hope: Yeah, well. Here for you.

Finn: Well, right back at you. Especially in the headache department. Okay, you– don’t hesitate to call me if they continue, all right?

Hope: All right. I– I will do so.

Finn: Okay.

Hope: Good luck.

Katie: So, how did this, um, budding friendship come about? Do you have business with spencer?

Poppy: “Budding” doesn’t exactly describe it. Uh, bill and I go way back. We, um– we have a lot of history.

Bill: I first met poppy some 20 years ago, and we just recently reconnected.

Poppy: And I’m very glad that we did.

Katie: Hmm.

Steffy: Wait, wait, wait. All this talk about you being hungry, and now you’re gonna leave before the pizza even gets here?

Liam: Trust me, I’m not happy about it, but–

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Oh! Hey!

Finn: Hey.

Liam: Oh, my god. Finally. Sorry. Forgive me. I’m taking one for the road. Thank you. Mmm. And it’s cold. That’s great.

Finn: Hey, are the, um– are the girls in kelly’s room?

Steffy: Uh, no, they’re– they’re next door at nellie’S. They’re going for a swim. And haynes is sleeping. Wait, did you not get my texts?

Finn: Oh, I don’t know. I was– I was on silent.

Steffy: Uh, why did you have it on silent?

Finn: Uh, liam, you were– you were headed out, right?

Liam: Yep, sure was. Uh, I’ll come back for kelly.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, you got it.

[ Door opens, closes ] What’s going on?

[ Finn sighs ]

Finn: Okay, um… okay, you’re– you’re never gonna believe this. I–

Steffy: What?

Finn: I– I go to the pickup window at il giardino, and it’s– it’s closed. So I go into the restaurant to get the pizzas, and, um… there they are. And I never thought that they would be there.

Steffy: Who?

Finn: Sheila and deacon. Always dry scoop before you run.

Katie: So, you’ve known each other for years?

Poppy: We have. You could even say that, um… I had him first.

Katie: Hmm.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Deacon & sheila laughing ]

Deacon: Hey, you know I had to do it! I had to do it.

Sheila: Oh, my gosh. Are there any other newlywed traditions you’re going to do?

Deacon: Oh, I got a couple traditions in mind.

Sheila: Oh.

Deacon: Listen, I know this isn’t some fancy resort, but I promise I’m gonna make our honeymoon night a night that you’re never gonna forget.

Sheila: Ooh.

Deacon: But first things first…

Sheila: Mmm?

Deacon: One tradition. A new one.

Sheila: What’s that?

Deacon: I promised I’d do– well, hollis convinced me to start an account for il giardino, you know, to post things like, um, I don’t know, recipes and specials and wine pairings and, you know, things like when the boss marries the star waitress, things like that, so.

Sheila: Well, let’s hope it gets more likes than the daily soup, right? Okay, what we got?

Deacon: That’s not bad.

Sheila: That’s not too bad.

Deacon: What do you think? Is that the one?

Sheila: Look at your smile. And look at finn, too. That’s definitely the one.

Deacon: Okay.

[ Phone chimes ]

Sheila: I still can’t believe that he came. To our wedding. Wow. Our wedding.

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: I love you so much.

Deacon: I love you too, baby. Come here.

[ Knocking on door ]

Liam: Hey. Thought I’d find you in here.

Hope: Hey.

Liam: Well, you look beautiful.

Hope: Thank you.

Liam: Got a night out on the town planned, or, uh… a wedding?

Hope: Ha.

[ Clicks tongue ] Yeah, I might’ve just come from one of those.

Liam: Oh, please tell me there was some other random one happening tonight, please!

Hope: Liam, he’s my dad, and it was his wedding day.

Liam: Oh, man! I mean, just ’cause you’re his kid doesn’t mean you have to support everything he chooses. Hell, even finn found a way to say no.

Hope: So–

Liam: What? What?

Hope: I– I wasn’t the only one there at the wedding. I mean, finn was there, too.

Liam: Finn was at the wedding? Today?

Finn: We knew the wedding was today. We just– we thought it was at the beach.

Steffy: Yeah, but why were deacon and sheila there? We placed an order at il giardino. They probably knew that you were coming, so they ambushed you. That’s exactly what happened.

Finn: No, no. They didn’t ambush me, okay? They were just as surprised to see me as I was to see them. And hope was there, too. Apparently she decided to be sheila’s maid of honor. And tom, the, um– remember the homeless man I told you about, the one that helped lead us to sheila? Believe it or not, he was there and… performing the ceremony.

Steffy: So you actually walked in, into the ceremony?

Finn: Yeah. Look, I– steffy, I just–

[ Phone chiming ]

Steffy: Okay, wait. Just wait for one second. I wanna make sure that the kids are– the kids are okay. Just… oh, my god. Oh… my god. What am I looking at? It’s a picture of, uh– a wedding photo of deacon, sheila and you? You’re standing right next to her!

Finn: I mean, I realize that looks like–

Steffy: You were there! That’s why you– that’s why you didn’t call me. That’s why your phone was on silent, because you were at sheila’s wedding! Answer me, finn.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[String playing classical music]

Sheila: [Laughs] Oh… I have been praying for this…

Finn: [Sighs]

Sheila: …Hoping that– that you would make it to my wedding, and here you– you are, my beautiful, beautiful boy.

Finn: [Exhales]

[Seabirds calling]

Steffy: What are the girls up to?

Liam: Oh, they’re just making sock puppets of us and finn and hayes.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Liam: Oh, yes.

Steffy: [Laughs] I’m almost afraid to ask. What do we– what do we look like?

[Laughing] Is…is that you?

Liam: [Goofy voice] Spitting image, right?

Steffy: [Laughs] I don’t even wanna know how I turned out.

Liam: Ooh. Still working on that. Uh, kelly wants to get the, uh, the hair just right.

Steffy: That makes sense.

[Laughter] I love when they are together.

[Girls giggling in distance] I also love how it’s making me forget about deacon and sheila’s wedding today.

[Sighs]

Brooke: Oh, eric, you are looking better and better.

Eric: Makes me wonder what I looked like before.

Brooke: [Laughs]

Eric: Thanks for checking in on me. I appreciate it. So, uh, is it true, what I’ve been hearing?

Ridge: Is what true?

Eric: Donna’s with katie, and they just texted me, and they said that, uh, deacon and sheila are getting married today?

Ridge: Bad news travels fast.

Eric: What the hell is deacon thinking?

Eric: Well, I’m one to talk, aren’t I, having been married to sheila myself?

Ridge: That is not the same thing. There’s no comparison.

Eric: [Sighs] Yeah.

Brooke: Eric, you had no way of knowing all those years ago what a sociopath sheila was.

Eric: But deacon knows. He’s gone into this eyes wide open.

Ridge: He knows exactly what that woman did to her family. But apparently, that makes no difference to him.

Steffy: If deacon was smart, he’d call off this wedding, save him all the pain and misery later down the line.

[Girls chattering indistinctly in distance]

Liam: Do you think they’re doing the deed right now?

Steffy: [Sighs]

[Girls giggling in distance] Probably. I don’t know. Deacon and sheila told finn that they’re gonna have the wedding at the beach.

Liam: Oof. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was happening…right below us.

Steffy: Trust me, I’ve already looked. I know sheila wants nothing more than to have finn at her wedding.

Finn: Look, I, um… I just came to pick up some pizzas.

[Horn honks in distance] Okay, why–why are you get– you two said you were getting married on the beach.

Sheila: Oh, we– we changed our mind.

Deacon: Look, you–you gotta wait for your pizzas anyway. Why don’t you just stay?

Finn: [Sighs]

Sheila: Yes. Sweetheart, please stay. This–this was– this was meant to be.

Finn: [Sighs]

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Eric: How’s hope doing with all this? I mean, it’s one thing to realize the two of them are sharing an apartment, but… but for her father to marry this sociopath?

Brooke: You know my daughter. She says she’s never going to forgive or forget all of the horrible things sheila’s done to our lives, but…

Eric: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Meanwhile, she loves her father, and she’s over there supporting him right now.

Eric: You didn’t try to talk her out of it?

Brooke: No, I did try to talk her out of it.

Eric: Well, did you succeed?

Brooke: Apparently, she thinks that there may be a change in sheila.

Eric: What?

Brooke: Well… [Sighs] She thinks that it’s because of her father, because of his positive influence, and the love that deacon has for sheila is actually making a difference.

Ridge: I’m so sorry. And this is ridiculous. I know you love your daughter, but if she thinks that sheila has changed, that’S…not just concerning. That’s dangerous.

Steffy: [Sighs] The girls will be getting hungry soon.

[Girls chattering indistinctly in distance]

Liam: Yeah, well, I’m sure, ’cause making… eerily realistic sock puppets…

Steffy: [Laughs]

Liam: …Works up an appetite.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh.

Liam: It’s actually really nice of finn to go pick up the pizza.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s nice of him to drive all the way to il giardino, especially when there’s so many pizza joints around here. But kelly–I mean, she just… loves deacon’s specialty pizza, so…

Liam: [Laughs] She’s very particular.

Steffy: She is.

Liam: It’s kind of ironic… finn going to deacon’s restaurant today of all days.

Steffy: Well, at least he doesn’t have to worry about running into sheila today.

Sheila: Please, finn, sweetheart.

Finn: I… [Sighs]

Sheila: Say that you’ll stay for the ceremony.

Deacon: Come on, finn. What do you say? Look, tom’s gonna keep it short and sweet. Won’t you, buddy? I mean, you remember tom, right?

Finn: Yeah, uh, from when we found sheila.

Deacon: Yeah, he told us to look in the warehouse, you know, where sugar was keeping your mother. I mean, we never would have known to look. In my book, that makes this guy a superhero.

Sheila: In mine, too.

Tom: Oh, s-superhero is laying it on a little thick, don’t you think?

Deacon: No, I don’T. You helped save my bride’s life. In my book, that makes you a superhero, and I’m just glad that you’re here. I mean, life is so crazy, right? I mean, who knew when I invited tom to come to the wedding that it would turn out that he’s actually a licensed wedding officiant?

Finn: Huh.

Tom: I wore many a hat in my past life.

Deacon: [Laughs] I mean, are we lucky, or are we lucky? And hope’s agreed to be your mother’s maid of honor.

Finn: You have?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Deacon: So, come on, finn. What do you say? Just stick around to the end of the ceremony while you’re waiting for your pizzas.

Sheila: Finn, sweetheart, please. Uh, deacon’s right. I… it’s gonna be a short ceremony. It’s just us exchanging our vows.

Finn: Uh… [Sighs] S-sure. Sure.

Sheila: Yes!

[Laughter]

Tom: First of all, I wanna say how honored I am to be here. Now, I have not known you two for very long. Life works in mysterious ways. Fate brought me here… just as fate brought you two together. Now, deacon, I saw the passion and care you had in saving this woman’s life. You, too, finn. I mean, you are both amazing men. And, sheila, I look into your eyes, and I see the passion and love that you have for deacon and finn. Now…I’ve spoken with deacon, and I know a little bit about your past. I think all of us here believe in the power of redemption and second chances.

Bladder leak

underwear has one job.

Eric: I agree with ridge. I think it’s frightening that– that hope–that hope would even buy into this, this whole idea that sheila’s changing.

Brooke: Wait. Okay. [Laughs] I don’t think she’s buying into it. I just think she’s being open for her father. By the way, I did tell her how I felt about it, especially her being maid of honor.

Eric: Wait. Wait. She’s standing up for sheila?

Ridge: Yeah. Can you believe that?

Brooke: Yeah. I just– I just hope she doesn’t go through with it.

Ridge: Why can’t she just do what finn did– just walk away from it?

Brooke: Well, about that– she did say that she thinks there’s a part of finn that would like to be there for his mother.

Ridge: Oh. I’m sure there is. The point is, finn is gonna be nowhere near that wedding. I promise you.

Liam: Hey, can I ask you something?

[Girls chattering indistinctly in distance]

Liam: Uh…

[Girls giggling in distance] Finn wouldn’t tell me, but how is he really doing, knowing that his birth mom and deacon are getting hitched today?

Steffy: Honestly, I’M… I’m not completely sure. But I-I do know this. Finn totally gets why he can’t make an appearance at the wedding today.

Tom: Well, all righty. You two lovebirds didn’t come here to listen to yours truly gab.

[Laughter] So… it’s time for you to talk to each other, speak your vows.

[Horn honks in distance] Have at it, deacon.

Deacon: Okay, um… I didn’t write anything down because I wanted to make sure that I-I spoke from my heart, not from my head. Sheila, you came into my life like…a hurricane, and you turned it upside down in every possible way, in the best possible ways. You know, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, and tom talked about redemption and second chances, and the good lord has also seen fit to give me quite a few of them, coming out of prison, reconnecting with my beautiful daughter… having this unbelievable business, but most important, having the second chance to be with the woman who I love more than anyone in this world and to be the very best husband that I can be, and that’s one second chance that I’m gonna make the most of because I love you.

Sheila: Wow. Well, you talk about miracles. Brushed up my life, and I’m here getting married to you. I have hope as my maid of honor, and I have my son, who… is here to share on my wedding day. My heart has never been so full. Deacon, you have always stood by me, no matter what. When I need strength, you are my strength. And when I need guidance… you make me a better person. You complete me. And all I’ve ever wanted… I have right now. Because all I’ve ever wanted is to be loved… completely. And I feel that. True…complete love. And you give that to me. You give that to me every day, always. And I love you.

[Mouths words]

Sheila: [Exhales] (Chef vo) fancy feast. at that

[Birds chirping]

Eric: Finn is not gonna be at that wedding today.

Ridge: No, of course not.

Brooke: Well, unfortunately, hope said there is a part of finn that would like to be at the wedding. However, his loyalty, his commitment will always be to steffy.

Ridge: It better be.

Liam: It was deacon’s idea, right, to invite finn today?

Steffy: Apparently, he knew how much it would mean to his bride if her son were there.

Liam: Yeah, yeah. Do you think sheila put deacon up to it?

[Girls giggling]

Steffy: You know what? Sheila can try to manipulate him, but it’s not gonna work. Finn’s not gonna be part of her life ever.

Liam: What is taking finn so long at il giardino?

Seffy: I know.

Tom: [Exhales deeply] Well, it’s time to get to the nitty gritty.

[Chuckles]

Tom [Clears throat]

Tom: Do you, deacon, take this woman to be your wedded wife? And will you be faithful to her for as long as you shall live?

Deacon: I do, and I will.

Tom: Then repeat after me. “I, deacon…”

Deacon: I, deacon…

Tom: “Take you, sheila to be my wedded wife…”

Deacon: Take you, sheila, to be my wedded wife…

Tom: “To have and to hold…”

Deacon: To have and to hold…

Tom: “From this day forward…”

Deacon: From this day forward.

Tom: “For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.”

Deacon: For richer, poorer, in sickness and in health.

Tom: “To love and to cherish till death do us part.”

Deacon: To love and to cherish until death do us part.

Tom: Do you, sheila, take this man to be your wedded husband and will you be faithful to him for as long as you shall live?

Sheila: I do.

Tom: Then–

Sheila: Yes, I will.

[Laughter]

Tom: Then repeat after me. “I, sheila, take you, deacon to be my wedded husband.”

Sheila: I, sheila, take you deacon, to be my wedded husband.

Tom: “To have and to hold from this day forward.”

Sheila: To have and to hold from this day forward.

Tom: “For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.”

Sheila: For richer, for poorer, sickness and in health.

Tom: “To love and to cherish till death do us part.”

Sheila: To love and to cherish till death do us part.

Tom: Um… the rings?

Deacon: Oh. Finn, would you hand these to tom for your mother and me?

Tom: These rings are symbols of eternity in the unbroken circle of love. Love freely given has no beginning or end. You’ve chosen to exchange rings as a sign of your love. Deacon, put this ring on sheila’s finger and repeat after me. “With this ring, I give you my heart.

Deacon: With this ring, I give you my heart.

Tom: “I promise, “from this day forward, you shall not walk alone.”

Deacon: I promise, from this day forward, you shall not walk alone. All nine toes of you.

[Laughter]

Sheila, put this ring on deacon’s finger and repeat after me. “With this ring…

Sheila: With this ring,

Tom: “I give you my heart.

Sheila: I give you my heart.

Tom: “I promise, “from this day forward…

Sheila: I promise, from this day forward…

Tom: “You shall not walk alone.”

Sheila: You shall not walk alone. No, you will always be walking beside me with my nine toes.

[Laughter]

Well, by the power vested in me by the state of california, it is my great pleasure to pronounce deacon and sheila husband and wife. Deacon, you may kiss your bride.

[Clicking]

Sheila: [Laughing]

Deacon: [Laughing]

[Applause]

[Laughter]

Announcer: Here’s a look at what’s ahead.

Poppy: And I’ve loved you from the moment I first saw you.

Bill: Let’s do it now.

Brooke: Steffy, this has nothing to do with the company.

Steffy: It’s a business decision. Hope for the future needs to come to an end… today.
