>> Liam: I'm not leaving you

like this.

>> Hope: Like what?

I'm fine.

This is what I wanted.

>> Liam: [ Sighs ]

It's what you say you want.

It's what you're trying to want.

That doesn't mean I believe it.

>> Hope: What, that I want you

to be with the mother of your

children?

Believe it, it's true.

Do I wish it were me?

Yes, but some things aren't

meant to be.

>> Liam: [ Sighs ]

I --

I mean, I don't know,

maybe I shouldn't have told you.

>> Hope: Oh, no, no.

I am glad I know you slept with

Steffy because it shows me that

we're doing the right thing.

Yeah, you took the first step

towards your new life last

night...

and I need to do the same.

So you should go.

Go.

Be with Steffy.

Be with her.

>> Thomas: I knew it.

Finally happened.

You and Liam, back together.

>> Steffy: Whoa, nobody said

anything about "back together."

>> Thomas: You two, you --

You reunited.

Whether you want to put a label

on it or not, I mean...

I'm just -- I'm happy for you.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

And thrilled for yourself.

I mean, if things work out with

Liam and me, that frees up Hope,

doesn't it?

>> Thomas: You're right, yeah.

It brings me closer --

closer to the life I'm supposed

to have with Hope.

♪♪

>> Steffy: If you and Hope end

up in a relationship, it

probably shouldn't hinge on Liam

being with someone else, I'm

just saying.

>> Thomas: Okay, I agree,

but it doesn't hurt having him

occupied elsewhere.

>> Steffy: [ Sighs ]

>> Thomas: By the mother of his

daughters -- his daughters, the

house he should have never left

in the first place.

>> Steffy: Dad! Hey! Come on in!

>> Ridge: Hey.

I came to see the girls.

Is that okay?

>> Steffy: Please, join the

party.

>> Ridge: Hey! Thomas!

>> Thomas: Hey, Dad.

Actually, bye, Dad.

I'm taking off.

Hey, congratulations.

Look, you deserve all the

happiness in the world.

>> Steffy: [ Scoffs, sighs ]

>> Thomas: Don't get weird.

>> Steffy: Uh-huh.

>> Ridge: Where's he going?

>> Steffy: Oh, probably to go

see Hope.

I'm sure she heard the news.

>> Ridge: Is that what the

"Congratulations" news was?

>> Steffy: Yeah, um, no, Dad.

[ Sighs ] He's --

Thomas is happy for me because

of how things are progressing

with Liam.

>> Ridge: Because Liam's moving

back in.

>> Steffy: That, and,

you know, it...

led to something else...

last night.

>> Ridge: Oh -- Oh!

>> Steffy: No, no, you don't --

You don't have to say anything.

Please don't say anything.

I don't even know what --

>> Ridge: No, no, no, I don't --

I'm not saying -- I'm not gonna

say anything.

I'm just -- I'm, uh, happy for

you.

>> Hope: This is what was

supposed to happen, right?

You and Steffy?

It just happened much faster

than I thought.

>> Liam: I didn't think that I

drank that much at the party,

and I --

>> Hope: Don't --

Don't make excuses.

>> Liam: I'm not -- I'm not --

I'm not trying to make excuses.

I just don't want you --

[ Groans ] It doesn't --

Look, whatever the reason --

Whatever the reason,

I wasn't myself, okay?

And I allowed things to happen

that I know I would not have

otherwise.

>> Hope: Don't downplay this.

>> Liam: I'm --

>> Hope: And don't insult me by

acting like it meant nothing,

because I know you, Liam.

I know you better than anyone

and --

It had to have meant something,

or else you wouldn't have --

You couldn't have!

It wasn't a hookup,

it wasn't sex!

You made love to her!

And it wasn't the drinks that

got you there.

You wanted her.

And you should want her.

Because Steffy is --

Steffy is the woman you're gonna

spend the rest of your life

with.

>> Steffy: I have to say,

it surprises me a little.

>> Ridge: What does?

>> Steffy: That this makes you

happy.

>> Ridge: What do you --

Of course it makes me happy.

It's you and Liam!

You two are supposed to be

together.

>> Steffy: Says my totally

unbiased father.

>> Ridge: Biased or not, it's

true.

The two of you, you're --

This doesn't happen all the

time, it's --

You know, it's that thing I keep

talking about.

>> Steffy: You're not about to

say the D-word, are you?

>> Ridge: I know what it's like

to love someone and to never

stop loving them.

You have your family back,

and...

call it what you will,

but it's real.

>> Hope: It isn't easy,

but as difficult as this...

you're exactly where you need to

be.

>> Liam: Am I?

>> Hope: Yes.

>> Liam: Then why do I miss you?

>> Hope: Did you miss me last

night?

Because I miss you every day.

And I will always cherish the

memories that we have together,

but after all of this...

[ Sighs ] We can't.

You have a new life to live.

>> Liam: And what about you?

>> Hope: [ Chuckles ]

I need to have one, too.

You know, maybe Thomas is right,

maybe --

>> Liam: No! Not Thomas.

Dear God, anyone but him,

please.

>> Thomas: Honey, I'm home!

>> Liam: Oh, geez...

>> Thomas: Oh, am --

Am I interrupting?

>> Liam: Sure are.

>> Thomas: How's the hangover,

man?

>> Liam: Excuse me?

>> Thomas: Well, I mean, after

all the fun you had, I figured

you wouldn't be feeling so

great.

Hey, you don't have to be

embarrassed.

It's all right, we've all been

there, you know?

I hope Steffy, you know, took

care of you, tucked you in.

>> Liam: You need to leave.

>> Thomas: I just got here.

>> Liam: Now.

Hope and I need to finish this

conversation alone.

>> Thomas: Okay, he wants that,

but what about you?

>> Hope: I'm fine.

>> Thomas: You want me to

believe that?

>> Hope: I will be.

I just --

It's a lot to process.

>> Thomas: Wait.

What -- What's a lot to process?

Does someone want to tell me

what's going on?

>> Liam: No!

>> Hope: Something happened last

night between Steffy and Liam.

>> Thomas: Something, as in...?

Oh.

Oh, well, that's, um...

That's great.

I -- I don't mean to be

insensitive, but that's what you

wanted.

You.

You know what's not great?

You sleep with my sister, and

then you come over here to,

what, rub it in her face?

What the hell is wrong with you?

>> Liam: Oh, my God, you are

unbelievable.

>> Thomas: No, no, no. Stop!

Stop!

You've always had bad judgment

where Hope is concerned, but...

You need to go.

You go home now.

You go home to Steffy and those

two daughters that you have

because that's where you belong,

all right?

I'll take care of Hope.

>> Ridge: So he is with Hope

now?

>> Steffy: Yeah.

>> Ridge: It's not what I was

expecting, not what I was

imagining for you, the day --

>> Steffy: Dad, it's --

it's fine.

>> Ridge: It's not fine.

It's fine that he's over there

the night after you --

>> Steffy: Yeah, I'm sure he's

apologizing for not picking up

certain social cues at the

party, and I'm sure he's telling

her about what happened between

us last night.

>> Ridge: Yeah, maybe he owes

her that much.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

I mean, he thought he was gonna

spend the rest of his life with

her, raising their daughter.

Like, if he thinks that there's,

like, a possibility --

>> Ridge: I'm sorry.

What do you mean, "thinks?"

After what happened here, what

do you --

>> Steffy: No, it's not --

It's -- It's one night, Dad.

It was one night, that's all.

>> Ridge: It was one night, but

you wouldn't tell me about it or

Thomas about it if you thought

it was just one night.

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

There's just so much going on

with Liam.

I don't want to pressure him in

any way.

>> Ridge: This is not about

pressuring anybody.

This could be a new beginning

for you.

You, Liam, your girls.

One house. One family.

>> Liam: Oh, you'll take care of

Hope?

Where have I heard that before?

God, you're -- you're a tool.

>> Thomas: Hey, I'm not the one

making a beeline straight from

Steffy's bed right over here to

Hope.

I mean, what --

What did you think she would do,

high-five you, or something?

She gave you what you wanted,

the freedom to go be with Steffy

and your daughters, and you come

over here, and you do what --

You -- You rub salt in the

wound?

Give her some space, man.

>> Liam: Don't pretend like you

don't know why I had to come

here, or what Hope and I mean to

each other.

This -- This time, this precious

time, is Hope and mine, not

yours.

>> Hope: Liam and I do need to

talk to each other on our own.

>> Thomas: Okay, if that's what

you want.

But I will be right over there,

okay?

If you need anything,

you call me.

[ Door slams ]

>> Hope: [ Sighs ]

>> Liam: [ Sighs ] Thank you.

>> Hope: He means well, he's --

>> Liam: No, he doesn't.

He doesn't, and frankly, it's

worrying how much you trust him.

>> Hope: [ Scoffs ]

You don't get to worry about me

anymore.

>> Liam: Well, tough. I worry.

I actually care about what

happens to you.

Do you understand that?

I used to be your husband.

I damn well still should be.

>> Hope: And we should be a

family, but we lost Beth.

>> Liam: Why does that mean

that we lose each other?

I never should annulled our

marriage.

>> Hope: Are you really gonna

say that to me, after what

happened last night?

>> Liam: Yeah.

It's not too late.

>> Hope: There's only one thing

we can do now.

>> Steffy: Think they'll both be

out for the count.

>> Ridge: I will get my

granddaughter fix some other

time.

>> Steffy: You know you're more

than welcome to stay.

>> Ridge: No, uh...

Maybe I have an appointment.

Maybe I don't like being the

third wheel.

>> Steffy: Hey, stay as long as

you want.

I -- I don't think Liam's gonna

be back for a while.

>> Ridge: You don't think?

He hasn't texted you or called

you?

>> Steffy: No, I don't expect

him to call or text me.

He's with Hope, and I'm sure

it's hard for him to tell her,

and he's gonna want to make sure

that she's all right.

>> Ridge: And you're not

concerned about...

>> Steffy: No. No, I --

I mean, in the past, I would

have been.

But I'm pretty confident in

where this is going.

I'm confident in Liam, and...

I'm actually confident in Hope.

Because we all want the same

thing.

>> Liam: What are you saying?

>> Hope: I'm saying, as much

as I want a life with you,

the thing we have to do now

is learn to put these feelings

aside, and you need to go back

to Steffy and be the best father

you can be to those girls.

>> Liam: [ Sighs ] Hope, you --

>> Hope: You moved on, Liam!

And fast!

So I need to move on, too,

because...

[ Sighs ] Because this is too

painful.

[ Cries ]

>> Liam: I don't want you

to be in pain.

>> Hope: So then let us go.

Please let me go.

>> Liam: I --

I am trying to do that.

But you have to be careful.

Because you are really

vulnerable right now, and Thomas

will not hesitate to take

advantage of that.

>> Hope: If anyone is taking

advantage, it's me because I'm

the one that's monopolizing on

all his time with Douglas.

>> Liam: Yeah, because he is

manipulating the whole thing!

[ Scoffs ]

Don't you understand that I want

you to be happy even I'm not the

man in your life?

You deserve to be loved!

And, yeah, if --

if the right guy came along,

then, sure, I would --

I would support that.

I would support you.

But not him. Not Thomas.

He is using your feelings

against you, he is parading his

son in front of you, and you are

falling for it!

>> Hope: Okay, you're making him

sound like he's some evil bad

guy.

>> Liam: Because he is an evil

bad guy!

>> Hope: Liam, come on.

>> Liam: Do you love him?

>> Hope: What?

What does have to do --

>> Liam: Do you...love him?

>> Hope: No.

Because he isn't you.

Because he'll never be you.

Because no one will ever be you.

But I can't have you!

And I can't --

I can't have Beth.

But I have Douglas.

And it feels good to be there

for him.

It feels necessary.

Don't you see, Liam, that Thomas

and Douglas, they're the answer

for me.

You get to have your family,

and I -- [ Sighs ]

I get to have mine, too.

>> Liam: It's supposed to be us.

♪♪

♪♪

>> Hope: You don't think I wish

every day for things to be

different?

You don't think I wish and dream

that Beth were still alive

every moment?

Because I do.

But some dreams aren't meant to

come true.

We have to go our separate ways

in order to make our --

our new lives work.

So go.

Be with Steffy.

Be happy.

Be loved.

And enjoy being a father.

>> Liam: I'm doing what you ask,

you know.

I'm trying to be the father that

you want me to be.

But...

It actually doesn't matter where

I am in life.

It doesn't matter what family

I'm with.

It doesn't matter whether I'm

down the street or across the

globe.

I will always love you.

Do you understand that?

Always.

>> Hope: And I will always love

you, too.
