>> Hope: What about Beth?

You were just saying something about my little girl,

so what is going on?

Answer me!

>> Zoe: Nothing's going on, Hope.

Okay? I-I just stopped by because, uh...

Well, actually, Flo and her mom, they're moving in with

Eric and Quinn, so -- >> Hope: You were just talking

about Beth.

Why?

>> Zoe: Uh, Flo and I were just saying how hard

losing Beth had to be on you.

We -- we couldn't even imagine what you've been going through

these past few months.

You're just such an inspiration, Hope.

I mean, seriously, the strength that you've shown alone is --

>> Hope: Stop.

Is that true, Flo?

Or is there something else?

>> Liam: So, I just talked to Steffy.

>> Wyatt: Yeah?

>> Liam: Uh, she and the girls should be home any day now.

>> Wyatt: That's great.

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Wyatt: Yeah. I'm -- [ Scoffs ]

I mean, I can't even imagine how much you miss them,

especially after I had to pull you away from your visit.

>> Liam: Well, I mean, who knew what Thomas really had

in mind when he said [Mocking] "Oh, Hope's gonna be in good

hands" while I was in Europe.

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

>> Liam: Thanks for the heads up, by the way.

>> Wyatt: Of course.

I just -- I can't believe he honestly thought he could get

away with it.

I mean, using how much you miss your girls to, like, twist that

somehow into convincing Hope that -- that Thomas and Douglas

are better suited for her.

It's -- it's just ridiculous.

>> Liam: 100%.

The guy's not even trying to hide it.

He's full on making a play for my wife.

>> Wyatt: I know Thomas is going through a lot right now,

especially after his son lost his mother, but

breaking up your marriage is completely selfish.

>> Liam: At least he's honest about what he's up to.

>> Wyatt: When I found out from Sally what he was planning,

I almost went over there and kicked his ass myself.

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] That would have been fun to see,

actually.

No, but I'm glad -- I'm glad you let me handle it.

>> Wyatt: Admit it -- you wanted to take a swing at him

when you were there.

Yeah. See?

>> Liam: Mm-hmm.

You -- you know what I'd love even more, though...

>> Wyatt: Hmm?

>> Liam: ...is if Thomas actually focused on Douglas and

being the best father he can be instead of fixating on Hope.

>> Wyatt: Exactly!

>> Liam: Listen, maybe he'll surprise me -- maybe.

But I doubt it.

I-I trust Thomas about as far as I can throw him.

I-I trust Thomas about as far as I can throw him.

>> Thomas: "No mother ever wants to think they might not be

around for their child.

But if something happens to me and I can't

be there for Douglas"...

>> Flo: Hope, I, uh...

I, uh...

>> Hope: Please just tell me what is going on.

>> Flo: We were talking about Beth.

We were talking about how -- how awful we feel about how --

How awful I feel ab-- I felt sad for you before.

But now -- now knowing that we're family, it just --

>> Zoe: It makes it harder for Flo.

I mean, she's wishing that she could take your pain away.

But knowing how impossible that is,

given everything.

>> Flo: [ Gasps ] I am just...

I am so sorry, Hope.

[Crying] I really am. I -- What happened to you should

never have happened.

>> Hope: [ Sobs ] Sorry. I really am.

I shouldn't have reacted like that.

I guess I'm just, um...

still pretty raw when people talk about Beth.

So... [ Sniffles ] I know you guys have been so

understanding and supportive through all this.

And you especially, Flo.

I'm -- I'm sorry.

>> Hope: Losing Beth is the hardest thing I have ever had to

go through.

So I guess when I hear her name, I can still get emotional.

>> Zoe: Yeah.

Of course.

It's, uh, totally understandable.

>> Hope: You know, and she is -- was such a part of me.

And I just -- I never want to forget that.

>> Zoe: Yeah, no one could.

>> Hope: [ Sniffles ] Will you please tell Quinn

that I'll stop by later to look at her ideas?

that I'll stop by later to look at her ideas?

>> Zoe: I-I know what you're feeling, Flo, okay?

I-I'm feeling it, too, but -- >> Flo: You heard her!

She's never gonna get past losing her little girl.

That loss is always gonna be with her.

She's never gonna be able to fully move on.

[ Exhales ] I just wish that they could

know the truth.

>> Liam: You know what?

I don't need to dwell on Thomas.

He's not worth my time.

>> Wyatt: Yeah, but talking things out can be good, dude.

>> Liam: [ Scoffs ] Yeah, well.

Speaking of which, have you, uh...

Have you and Sally talked since she moved out?

>> Wyatt: I -- I don't...

[ Sighs ] I don't -- Dude... [ Snorts ]

That was her choice to go.

That was her choice.

>> Liam: For s-- Yeah. 100%.

>> Wyatt: All right?

>> Liam: Totally. What -- But...

How hard did you try to stop her?

>> Wyatt: Oh, come on!

You know what happened.

She chose Thomas over me!

>> Liam: I know, and it was a betrayal of your trust.

>> Wyatt: Exactly.

She decided to be his confidante in this whole plot to

break up your marriage, and I'm not about that.

>> Liam: Well, listen, obviously I'm not thrilled about it,

either, but...

I don't know. You -- You and Sally had a really good

thing going.

Are you sure you're ready to throw that away?

>> Wyatt: I don't know. I -- I like to think of it as, uh,

re-evaluating my relationship.

>> Liam: Re-- you're re-eval-- What does "re-evaluating" mean?

>> Wyatt: Just that I'm not gonna make any rash decisions.

You know, where -- where Sally and I go from here, or...

>> Liam: Hold on.

Where does -- Where does Flo fit into all

this?

Does she know that Sally moved out?

>> Wyatt: Yeah. We -- We had a long talk about it.

>> Liam: Yeah, and?

>> Wyatt: We had a long talk about it.

>> Liam: Oh, my God. Okay.

If you're not gonna tell me, fine.

>> Wyatt: Tell you that Flo and I kissed?

>> Liam: Are you serious?

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

And we just -- I don't know.

We're -- we're deciding to take it slow and...

I want to take her out on a date and -- and see where it

leads.

>> Liam: You never really got over Flo, did you?

>> Wyatt: No.

I mean, she was my -- my first love.

And I was hers, you know?

She -- she just was easy to trust, and...

And I'm starting to realize that that hasn't changed.

I doubt it ever will.

>> Zoe: You can't keep doing this, Flo.

You've got to get ahold of yourself.

We made a pact.

>> Shauna: Zoe, what are you doing here?

>> Zoe: Hope just left.

Yeah, we had a close call with her.

Didn't we?

>> Shauna: What kind of close call?

Sweetheart, what happened?

Please -- >> Zoe: Whenever she's around

Hope and Hope gets emotional about her little girl,

Flo's ready to confess the truth about Beth.

Look, I'm sorry, but I don't trust her to keep this secret.

She doesn't even trust herself to keep it.

And that's why I keep telling the two of you to go back to

Vegas so we can just -- >> Shauna: No. Absolutely not.

Flo and I are staying put right here.

Flo and I are staying put right here.

>> Liam: [ Crying ] I'm so sorry.

>> Hope: [ Wailing ] Dr. Buckingham!

I need to see my baby!

>> Thomas: You okay?

You're re-living that night, aren't you?

The night you lost your little girl.

>> Hope: Is it that obvious?

>> Thomas: [ Scoffs ] That you were thinking of Beth?

>> Hope: Yeah. I -- I try not to think about that

night, but then something happens, and...

I'm back in that hospital, stuck in the middle of a tragedy

that I just -- I can't seem to get over.

>> Thomas: Yeah, I understand.

I've been thinking about my own tragedy.

Well, mine and Douglas'.

You know, what losing Caroline has done to both of our lives.

Um...

Something arrived today.

I-it's a -- a box of Caroline's personal items.

It's upstairs in my bedroom.

I, um...

I was uneasy about opening it.

Not sure what I'd find.

>> Hope: Does -- does Douglas know about the box?

>> Thomas: No.

No, he was outside playing when -- when it came.

I, uh -- I figured I'd wait till he was asleep to open it.

And he's in dreamland now, so...

Well, like I said, I was unsure [Sighs] of what's inside,

so, um...

Would it -- would be okay if...

[ Sighs ] Would you be there

when I open the box?

>> Hope: Of course I will.

You don't have to face that alone, Thomas.

>> Thomas: Thank you.

>> Zoe: You're making a mistake.

Both of you.

Getting close to Hope and the Logans, now the Forresters...

I mean, it's like you guys are just tempting fate.

>> Shauna: Oh, please.

Nobody's tempting fate.

I'm well aware of the stakes.

>> Zoe: Then remind your daughter.

'Cause it seems that Flo can't remember that.

>> Flo: Oh, would you please shut up about all of this?

You act like I'm gonna give everything away at any given

moment when you are just as guilty.

>> Zoe: Guilty of what?

>> Flo: Coming here tonight to check on me, like you

love to do, and almost giving everything away in the process.

If Hope had come here just a minute earlier,

she would have heard -- >> Zoe: But she didn't.

Basically all she heard was Beth's name mentioned.

Okay? And we talked our way around the rest.

Hope still doesn't suspect a thing.

>> Shauna: And yet you keep ragging on my daughter that

she can't keep this a secret.

When apparently you're the one we should be concerned about.

Why don't you leave L.A. and go back to England?

Go live with your father, the baby switcher.

>> Zoe: Shh! [ Scoffs ] Are you crazy?

God, you are lucky no one is home.

>> Shauna: Exactly.

That's why you don't bring this up again.

>> Zoe: Fine.

But I still think you're playing with fire by staying in L.A.

The Forresters and the Logans would understand if you just

said that you were homesick for Vegas, and that Flo was moving

back with you so you could -- >> Shauna: Forget it.

We're not going anywhere.

Flo has a huge future here.

And she has reunited with the love of her life.

>> Liam: I hear what you're saying --

how important trust is in a relationship.

>> Wyatt: Oh, but you still feel for Sally.

Like, this -- this whole situation that she got herself

in with Thomas is -- is ridiculous.

>> Liam: O-okay, but Thomas never should have put her

in that position in the first place.

>> Wyatt: She made that choice.

She chose to put our relationship at risk.

>> Liam: Yeah.

Anyway.

Back to Thomas, please.

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

>> Wyatt: You think he got the message that Hope's off limits?

>> Liam: I don't know, bro.

I told him to back off.

Like, point-blank, "Back off."

But what am I gonna do?

He knows how vulnerable Hope is, and he's obviously gonna keep

using that to brainwash her into being Douglas' new mom

just so that he can have her for himself.

>> Thomas: Knowing Caroline and how much she adored Douglas,

I'm guessing that there's something really important

in here.

>> Thomas: Thanks for being here when I open it.

>> Zoe: I know my father's to blame for all of this,

but he's -- >> Flo: To blame?

Zoe, what your dad did was unconscionable.

If Steffy knew that she was raising Hope's child, if she

knew that she was raising Beth, she would give her back in an

instant.

She wouldn't want to keep her.

And then Hope and Liam could finally have the family they

always wanted, this life that they always dreamed of.

But instead we are here.

We are here, keeping this -- this horrible secret.

This secret that is gonna destroy their lives.

This secret could ruin their marriage.

>> Thomas: Should I open it?

>> Hope: I think so.

>> Thomas: It's crazy seeing her handwriting again.

"No mother ever wants to think she might not be around

for her child.

But if something happens to me, and I can't be there for

Douglas, I have a dream that there's a woman out there who

needs a child.

Who needs a son as much as he needs her.

A woman Douglas will see as his mother.

A woman who will bring him much happiness, who will

find much happiness in loving a little boy.

[ Gasps ] I see a family in my absence.

A family that is everything my son and this woman deserve.

I see this woman filling Douglas' life with great joy.

A woman who will bring him love, as he will bring her love.

[ Voice breaking ] That's my hope for my son's future."

Hope, you okay?

>> Hope: Caroline's letter, it's...

It's so...beautiful and moving and...

I mean, it's...

It's almost as if she knew.

[ Exhales softly ] This -- This woman that she talks about,

this woman out there that needs a child...

[ Sighs ] I feel like Caroline means me.

I think I could be that woman.

Thomas...

I think I am.
