Hope is upset and disappointed that Steffy’s carrying Liam’s child again. Liam tells her how much he loves her and hopes that she’ll eventually be able to forgive him. He promises never to give up on her and their family. She says again that she doesn’t want to discuss it. It’s too much to process right now. She keeps yelling at him, sobbing, and he begs her not to give up on their family. She sinks to thee floor, crying, as Liam watches helplessly. He goes over and holds her. He doesn’t think there’s anything that they can’t overcome. He goes on and on about it and begs her for a chance. At Steffy’s house, Finn is still disappointed, too. He looks at the big picture of Steffy and Liam with disgust. Steffy gets a text from Amelia (who has Kelly). She apologizes to him again and wishes the baby were his. Finn tells her that he loves her too much to walk away. She urges him to “let it out.” He’s very angry at the results, and at himself, but not at her. Steffy tells him tearfully that he would have called the baby “John Finnegan, jr.” if it was a boy. She tells him that their love will get them through this. Finn thinks it’ll be hard for him and Hope to see Liam around all Steffy the time. Steffy thinks they can survive if he doesn’t give up on them. They hug.

At Forrester Creations, Thomas and Vinnie wait to hear about the paternity results. Vinnie thinks that Thomas hopes the baby will be Liam’s so that he’ll have a shot with Hope. After Thomas hears from Ridge, he worries about how Hope is doing. He agrees with Vinnie that he loves Hope, but he’s not going to do anything to interfere. At home, Brooke and Ridge also wait. He texts Steffy to see if there is any news. Steffy texts back, “Not Finn’s,” so Ridge tells Brooke. She’s upset. Bridget drops by for a visit. She’s in town for a medical conferences. Bridget can tell something is wrong. She guesses that Liam must be the father of Steffy’s baby, and they confirm it. Brooke wonders whether she should go over to see Hope or give her time. Bridget thinks Hope will act like she always does and put her own feelings aside for the good of her family. Ridge calls Thomas to give him the news.

Finn, Steffy Liam and Hope ask Doctor Campbell hopefully if Finn is the father, but she tells them that he isn’t. Hope leaves, upset. Steffy cries and tells Finn that she’s sorry. They go home. Finn offers to leave before Kelly comes home, but she doesn’t want him to leave. Finn is very disappointed because he’d already thought of the baby as his. He goes on and on about how great of a mother Steffy is to Kelly. He wanted the same bond with his child. He doesn’t know how he fits in to her life now. He thought that he’d broken her awful cycle with Liam and Hope. She cries more as she begs him not to give up on her. Liam follows Hope home. She’s very upset and says she doesn’t want to talk about it. She thinks it’s impossible for them to make a future now for their family. They talk about the past and how Liam screwed things up. Hope yells at him again for what he did. They argue. Liam keeps telling her that he’s not giving up.

At Forrester Creations, Thomas, Ridge and Brooke wonder whether they’ve gotten the paternity results back yet or not. Thomas tells them that he’s moving out on his own. He feels that he’s ready. Ridge and Brooke decide to go home, to be there for Hope if she needs them. Ridge and Brooke are glad not to argue about their kids any more. Vinnie drops by to say hi to Thomas. Thomas tells him about the paternity test. Vinnie thinks that if the baby turns out to be Liam’s, that would be good for Thomas. Thomas doesn’t want that. He wants Hope to be happy with Liam. Vinnie points out that none of the women Thomas has ever been with have come close to his feelings for Hope. He reminds Thomas that he’s there for him and there’s nothing he won’t do for him. He also adds “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
