♪♪ >> Wyatt: What -- Wow.

What is -- What's all this?

>> Liam: Um, well, my luggage can stay in the car, but I

wanted to get these out of the sun.

Uh, a few 2015s for you.

And, uh, I got Sally this -- this scarf from the

Champs-Elysées.

Uh, where is she?

>> Wyatt: Uh, shouldn't you be home showering Hope with gifts

though, too, or...?

>> Liam: Yeah, I probably should, but I want to know what

I'm walking into first.

I mean, just how far has Thomas gotten in his campaign to

brainwash my wife into leaving me?

>> Hope: Obviously I'm worrying you.

>> Flo: I -- I just don't think that you're thinking clearly

about all of this.

>> Hope: No, I shouldn't unburden myself by dumping all

my personal worries on you.

>> Flo: Hope, you can tell me.

I'm -- Look, I'm not upset.

I just -- I just don't know this Thomas,

and...

>> Hope: I've known him all my life.

>> Flo: Well, be that as it may, it doesn't sound like to me like

he's a friend of yours.

>> Thomas: So, you moved out of Wyatt's.

>> Sally: Yeah.

>> Thomas: Did he kick you out?

>> Sally: No.

Leaving just felt like the right thing to do, after everything

that happened.

>> Thomas: Sure, if you want to lose him.

>> Sally: I'm not giving up on us.

>> Thomas: Good.

I'm sorry I got you mixed up in the situation with Hope and me.

I didn't want to affect your relationship with Wyatt.

But, hey, I'm sure you'll work things out.

>> Sally: Yeah. I hope so.

>> Thomas: I doubt he's gonna let you go.

That said, I'm not giving up.

I still think it's best for Liam to be with my sister and those

girls, and it's best for Hope to be with Douglas and me, filling

the awful emptiness.

>> Sally: Her bed isn't empty.

And Liam isn't gonna let that happen.

♪♪ >> Thomas: Hope gets to live her

own life.

>> Sally: That's exactly what she's doing.

With the man she chose to spend it with.

And I imagine Liam's flying home as we speak.

>> Thomas: But you don't know that for sure.

>> Sally: No, but I am telling you, after Wyatt found out what

you were up to, Liam would have been his next call.

>> Wyatt: I -- I don't think Thomas has made any actual

inroads yet.

>> Liam: Okay, but what exactly did Sally tell you?

>> Wyatt: Well...

I thought she was making a completely different kind of

confession than she did.

I thought -- I thought she and Thomas were

fooling around behind my back.

>> Liam: [ Scoffs ] What?

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

>> Liam: Wyatt, she'd have to be crazy.

>> Wyatt: Thank you. Uh, yeah.

Uh, anyway, you know, what I thought I was hearing was not

what she was saying, so I kind of have to be careful in how I

recollect it.

>> Liam: Okay.

>> Wyatt: For one thing, she said that Thomas realized that

her has never stopped loving Hope.

>> Liam: What? What -- What does that make Sally and

Caroline, intermissions?

>> Wyatt: Dude, this -- this is apparently how he tells it.

>> Liam: Okay.

I mean, it kind of sounds like he's just excusing the way he

treated both women.

I'll be damned if he's gonna make Hope number three.

>> Hope: Thomas is a good person.

>> Flo: Well, sometimes good people do terrible things.

I mean, he -- he waits until your husband is out of town and

then just swoops on in and tries to break up your marriage?

>> Hope: No, it's -- it's my fault if I made it sound like

that.

He just -- He realized how he's felt all

these years.

>> Flo: And what about you?

>> Hope: Thomas is sweet, he's great with Douglas, and I guess

he's easy on the eyes, but...

No.

I -- I don't feel the same way.

It's always been Liam.

>> Flo: Well, then why isn't that your answer?

"Thomas, I am flattered, but I love my husband."

>> Hope: Well, I pretty much told him so, but...

You know, I keep thinking...

Maybe it's not just about love, right?

You -- You commit yourself, not just to a person, but to the

future you see for yourselves together, and...the children and

the grandchildren that Liam and I had imagined for ourselves...

Turns out, that's a commitment that I can't keep.

>> Flo: Oh, you don't know that that's true.

>> Hope: No, but it is still a dream that he can have with

Steffy, and, you know, Thomas is just offering me a different

kind of motherhood to...

a motherless child.

>> Flo: I don't know him, but it sounds to me like he's just

trying to break up your marriage.

Look, Hope, you made your wedding vows to Liam, not to

some perfect future that the two of you could have.

You promised him that you would be there for him, no matter

what.

No matter what.

Hope, you don't want to lose your marriage, too.

>> Flo: They told me to wait here for someone from HR, to

sign some papers, or something?

>> Zoe: Yeah, well, all the interns were busy, so I

volunteered.

So, I have your employee directory, the employee manual,

the health plan brochures, and your W-4.

>> Flo: Thank you.

>> Zoe: And, uh, are you out of your mind?

>> Flo: I know you don't approve of me being here.

I get it, okay?

>> Zoe: Approve? No. No.

But at least I understand it.

Sure, sign a few papers, and your future's set.

But what I don't understand is why you would want to deny Hope

the chance to finally become a mother.

>> Flo: What?

>> Zoe: Yeah, I overheard you talking to about the sanctity of

marriage.

Meanwhile, poor Thomas Forrester's

little boy is without a mother.

>> Flo: Okay, you -- you can't be telling me that you think

that Hope needs to lose her marriage, too, right?

>> Zoe: I never wanted any of this.

But how much solace has that marriage brought her?

Either of them.

Okay, Liam, he's off with his daughters in Paris, and Hope,

she's still struggling to figure out why she's even married.

She hates keeping her husband from his kids.

But she knows that she'll never be giving him another one.

Especially after losing two.

>> Flo: Best wasn't lost, she was stolen!

>> Zoe: Which we both agreed Hope can never know.

>> Flo: [ Sighs ] >> Zoe: I'm not happier than you

are about that.

But if we want to do right by those that we've wronged,

Hope and her daughter...

Look, the child already has a new mother, okay?

And the only way Hope will even allow herself to become a mother

of a child is...

if it's from someone else.

So why not Douglas?

[ Knocks on door ] >> Thomas: Busy?

>> Hope: Uh, distractible.

>> Thomas: I've been, uh, working on some designs that I

wanted to show you for Hope For The Future.

>> Hope: Um, just leave them, and I'll give you a buzz when I

take a look.

>> Thomas: Oh, I can wait.

>> Hope: I -- I don't know when I'll be done crunching these

numbers for Ridge.

>> Thomas: Well, for you...

I can wait.

>> Liam: Uh, no, no, no.

Don't -- Don't disturb Hope.

I'll just, uh, surprise her.

Okay. Thanks, Pam.

[ Sighs ] >> Wyatt: You must have left

Paris at Zero Dark Thirty.

>> Liam: Well, coffee will help.

>> Wyatt: Oh, yeah.

>> Liam: Mm. [ Sighs ] >> Wyatt: So, what, Hope's at

the office, then?

>> Liam: They both are.

You know Thomas has done this before, right?

>> Wyatt: What?

>> Liam: Yeah, like, a long -- a way long time ago, before you

and I ever even knew each other existed.

He actually proposed to her.

>> Wyatt: What?

>> Liam: Dude, the guy was a hot mess back then.

Then again, he'd probably say the same thing about me, but

whatever.

>> Wyatt: Wait, so what did Steffy say when you told her

that he was doing this?

>> Liam: I didn't.

You know Steffy.

I mean, she always wants to believe that Thomas just

misunderstood, right up until the exact moment she catches him

in the act.

You know?

Whatever, she and the kids will be home soon enough.

Where's, um...

Where is Sally? Is she at work?

She gonna walk in any minute, or what?

>> Wyatt: Uh, she moved out.

>> Liam: What?

>> Wyatt: I -- Dude, it's -- It's a whole thing. I just --

I -- I couldn't have a girlfriend who was gonna plot

against your marriage or you or, like, anything like that.

>> Liam: Dude!

You better not have broken up on my account.

>> Wyatt: No, dude.

This is between Sally and me, all right?

I didn't ask her to leave.

Okay?

She did that on her own, and -- and I don't -- I just --

I don't know.

I don't know where things stand with us.

Uh, I don't know if we're broken up or not.

>> Liam: Oh...

>> Wyatt: Wait, so you -- so you said, um --

You said Thomas does this?

Like, this is his thing?

Like, he's just -- He's making a tornado and turns

everything into rubble?

>> Liam: When I told him that I was going to Paris and I asked

him to keep Hope company, do you want to know what he said, exact

words?

>> Wyatt: What?

>> Liam: "Don't worry, Hope's in good hands."

Good hands.

Yeah.

Little on the nose, in retrospect.

See, this is the thing.

You know, I was willing to let bygones be bygones.

I -- I know that he's struggling with the loss of Caroline.

I know he's trying to stay strong for his son.

But if the guy thinks that he's gonna bulldoze my marriage under

the guise of giving his kid a mom...

It's not gonna happen.

>> Flo: Where do we draw the line?

I know that we agreed to not tell Hope that her baby is

alive, but how much are we willing to let her lose?

It sounds to me like you're okay with her losing Liam.

And then what's next?

I mean, what if she lets her career go?

What if she shuts down Hope For The Future?

Are we gonna be okay with that?

And then, what -- what's next?

Her mental health?

What if she's hospitalized?

Are we gonna be okay with this agreement that we made if it

goes that far?

>> Zoe: Were you always this way, Flo?

>> Flo: What?

>> Zoe: I mean, I didn't know you before, but were you always

the sort of person who believed that the worst that could happen

inevitably would?

You know, I came to L.A. with next to nothing.

Yeah, I did some things wrong.

Very wrong.

But those things, they led me to this miraculous life I have

today.

And now the same thing is happening for you.

And you won't even let yourself enjoy it.

Okay, it's a job at Forrester, a life as a Logan.

I mean...

You've really got to find a way to just...

embrace it.

[ Cellphone rings ] >> Flo: Hey, Wyatt.

>> Wyatt: Hey, uh, are you busy?

>> Flo: Not very.

Is everything okay?

>> Wyatt: Yeah, I was just wondering if could stop by.

>> Flo: Are you at the office?

>> Wyatt: No, I'm home playing hooky.

>> Flo: [ Chuckles ] You always were good at skipping classes.

>> Wyatt: And you were always good at snapping me out of it.

>> Flo: Uh, well, I haven't taken my lunch break yet,

so I can leave now.

I'll see you soon.

>> Hope: So these are new sketches from the ones you

showed me before?

>> Thomas: Right.

I never really work with wool, but I know you like natural

fabrics, so I thought I'd play around with it.

>> Hope: They're -- They're really good.

Um, could you actually go ask the pattern makers how much it

would cost to do these in medium-weight?

>> Thomas: Uh, now?

>> Hope: Or I can go ask.

>> Thomas: Oh, no, no, no. I -- I can do it.

Oh, hey, uh, are you free later?

>> Hope: Um, I -- I actually have to return a bunch of calls.

>> Thomas: Douglas wanted to see you, and, you know, I thought we

could grab an early dinner, but, um, if you're too busy...

>> Hope: Well, no, please don't tell Douglas that I'm too busy

for him.

>> Thomas: Okay, then what should I tell him?

[ Sighs ] Hope, I get it.

You don't want to let Douglas down, but you're afraid of

encouraging me now that you know how I feel, that I still have

the ring from when I proposed.

Am I right?

[ Door opens ] >> Liam: You know, I love Paris,

but I love you more.

>> Hope: Liam!

>> Liam: Hi.

>> Hope: So happy you're home.

>> Liam: Yeah. Me, too.

>> Hope: Is everything okay with Steffy and the girls?

>> Liam: Yeah. Perfect.

Steffy sends her love.

Thomas, I'm glad I caught you.

A little something for Douglas.

It's a little model of the Eiffel Tower.

Shouldn't be too difficult to put together.

It's like 20-something pieces.

And for you, miss...

>> Hope: [ Gasps ] Macaroons!

Oh, my gosh, I became addicted to these when I lived in Europe.

>> Liam: Mm-hmm.

>> Hope: Thank you.

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Thomas: So, how are my beautiful nieces?

>> Liam: Amazing.

Smarter than they should be.

Steffy's gonna have to start teaching them algebra soon.

>> Thomas: It must have been so good to finally be reunited.

>> Liam: It was. It was, um...

It was really nice to hold them again.

Until I realized I missed holding my own wife so much that

I had to come home.

>> Wyatt: Wow!

You, uh, got here fast.

Is that a new car?

>> Flo: Uh, it's new-ish.

>> Wyatt: Well, I guess you're in the upper percentile of

figuring out how to get around L.A. fast.

What?

>> Flo: Why are we talking about driving?

>> Wyatt: Conversation, I guess.

>> Flo: Is Sally here?

>> Wyatt: No, uh, she's probably at work, or something.

I don't know.

>> Flo: You don't know?

Okay, that's -- Something isn't right.

What is -- What is going on?

>> Wyatt: After all these years, you can just see right through

me.

Sally moved out.

>> Flo: What happened?

>> Wyatt: Just, you know, it's...

>> Flo: You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, it's

okay.

>> Wyatt: No, you know what, I do want to tell you.

She was keeping something from me.

>> Flo: Okay, well, I, um, can't say I haven't been guilty of the

same thing every now and then.

>> Wyatt: I can.

You've never been guilty of something like that.

>> Flo: Was she cheating on you?

>> Wyatt: I mean, I thought that was the case, but no.

Her ex was engineering schemes to steal my brother's wife.

>> Flo: Steffy's brother?

>> Wyatt: Yeah. Thomas?

And, apparently, she felt that keeping his secret was more

important than being honest with me.

>> Flo: Okay, well, I'm sure it wasn't that calculated.

>> Wyatt: What?

What are you talking about?

>> Flo: Well, sometimes people keep a secret even though they

don't want to.

>> Wyatt: Why would they do that?

>> Flo: Because they think that it'll hurt less people to keep

it a secret than to tell everyone about it.

>> Wyatt: But even if she did, it's not right.

Like...

I still think that her first loyalty should be to me.

Her boyfriend.

You know?

I thought she was it, you know, and...

I mean, who am I kidding?

I always think that.

What does that make me?

>> Flo: It makes you, you.

It makes you the guy who gives everything, the guy who's always

all in, and that's a good thing.

>> Wyatt: And I expect that in return.

You know what I mean?

Is that too much to ask? Like...

I hate lies and I hate secrecy.

>> Wyatt: And I guess I just -- I never had -- I never had to

worry about that with you.

>> Hope: I'm surprised you came home so soon.

Did something happen?

>> Thomas: Let me guess -- You got a call from your brother

telling you that I still had feelings for your wife.

>> Hope: Uh...Wyatt?

How did he -- >> Thomas: I, uh -- I confided

in Sally about how I felt, about how I'd never really given up on

my dream of a future with you, and...

Well, Sally must have thought it was her duty to tell Wyatt, and

Wyatt thought it was his to tell Liam, and Liam thought it was

his to hurry home.

Am I right, or close?

>> Liam: You know -- You know, I was older than

Douglas when I lost my mother.

But I still know how brutal it is to become a motherless child

all of a sudden, and so I understand the instinct to want

to protect Douglas from all of that.

Hell, there's hardly anything I wouldn't do for Kelly.

Or Phoebe, for that matter.

But, Thomas...

That's where my understanding stops.

How dare you try to break up another family in order to mend

your own?

You know we're grieving, too.

We lost something, too.

And for you to think that you can take advantage of Hope's

vulnerability and her maternal instinct just for your own

benefit is unreal.

>> Hope: Liam.

>> Liam: No, you don't have to -- you don't have to defend

him.

I know where he's coming from.

>> Thomas: You and Hope, you're a couple, but you're not a

family.

>> Liam: That -- Oh, okay.

That's not for you to judge.

>> Thomas: You have a family, over in Paris and in pieces.

And I didn't break it up, you did.

>> Liam: Let me tell you something.

I love those little girls.

I love them, and I'm gonna be in their life for a very, very long

time.

This is my wife.

She is my wife.

So all the manipulating, all the guilt-tripping, it stops now,

Thomas.

Do you understand me? Now.
