♪♪ >> Ridge: Alright. One second.

What about balloons?

>> Brooke: Balloons?

I guess that's okay.

We can put them out back.

>> Ridge: Okay. Yes on balloons.

Just don't...make the whole thing look like a circus out

there, okay?

Um...I-I don't know.

How many -- How many people?

>> Brooke: Maybe 15.

I'm still waiting to hear on a few.

>> Ridge: [ Sighs ] Looks like maybe about 15 people confirmed.

This whole thing was a little short notice.

>> Brooke: More like no notice.

>> Ridge: No, that -- that's -- That'll do it. I appreciate it.

Yeah. That -- That's -- That's up to you, okay?

Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

[ Telephone beeps ] >> Brooke: Pam and Charlie are

gonna be cooking all night.

>> Ridge: Charlie's out of town.

But Pam -- yeah, she's really looking forward to being here.

>> Brooke: Hmm.

Douglas thinks that Pam's lemon bars look like alien candy.

That's supposed to be a good thing, I guess.

>> Ridge: Are you upset with me because I asked my son to have

his wedding here?

>> Brooke: It's fine.

>> Ridge: You hate it that much?

>> Hope: Best man?!

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ] >> Hope: I love it.

It's -- It's perfect.

>> Douglas: I just don't know how.

>> Hope: Oh, there's nothing to it.

>> Thomas: Yeah. I'll show you where to stand and when to give

out the rings.

>> Douglas: Will I have to say a speech?

>> Thomas: Oh. Yeah.

Grandpa was pulling your leg when he said that.

[ Chuckles ] >> Hope: And my maid of honor

will help you with everything -- your aunt Steffy.

>> Liam: What -- What's that?

What's that, Kelly?

You're right.

That is a good question.

Hey, Mom. Mommy? Mommy?

>> Steffy: Hmm?

>> Liam: Question.

Um, why did the three bears live in a house?

>> Steffy: Rent control.

>> Liam: Mm-hmm.

Oh, that's interesting.

That is...interesting.

>> Steffy: I'm watching you.

>> Liam: What? I -- I'm just -- Like, a few, like, little

spikes.

>> Steffy: N-O. No!

>> Liam: Why? You thought it was funny last time.

>> Steffy: Honey, I was pretending to laugh.

>> Liam: Oh.

Fine.

>> Steffy: I was thinking about putting that dress on Phoebe for

the wedding tomorrow.

>> Liam: Yeah, uh, yeah.

I mean, whatever you want.

>> Steffy: You know, no one would blame you if you stayed

home.

>> Liam: Oh, I'm sure certain people would be ecstatic if I

stayed home, but, uh...

I'm not gonna make it that easy.

♪♪ ♪♪

>> Ridge: Felicia hasn't called me back.

>> Brooke: Well, it's not like that hasn't happened before.

>> Ridge: [ Chuckles softly ] And Rick is busy, and the Avants

are at a family reunion in Illinois.

>> Brooke: So, you want me to call my dad or Bridget?

>> Ridge: I don't want you to call anybody.

I don't want you to be a wedding coordinator for a wedding you

don't believe in.

Doesn't make sense to me.

>> Brooke: Sorry.

>> Ridge: You're not sorry.

What are we doing here?

What is this?

Let's be honest with each other.

What do you want?

>> Brooke: I want to be happy for you and your son.

>> Ridge: What about being happy for Hope?

You want that?

She doesn't want to be with Liam anymore.

>> Brooke: You can trace that back to her losing her baby.

>> Ridge: I don't care where you trace it back to, honey.

This is where we are.

She said yes to Thomas.

>> Brooke: No. No.

She said yes to Douglas.

That's the person that she has feelings for, not Thomas.

And I don't know why that doesn't concern you.

>> Ridge: [ Sighs ] You know what concerns me?

Is that you think there's something wrong with my son.

>> Steffy: What time is it?

I want to get to bed.

I don't want to look tired when I stand up for Hope's wedding

tomorrow.

>> Liam: You know...

I love that you said yes to that.

I just...

I just wish -- >> Steffy: I-I know what you

wish.

I don't get why this wedding has to be an emergency.

>> Liam: Hope needs to be somebody's mother.

I mean, she's never said that as forcefully as she did earlier,

and I think she believes that being Douglas' stepmom, his

official stepmom, is the way to go if she's never gonna get to

hold Beth in her arms the way that -- the way that you're

holding Phoebe right now.

>> Thomas: You can pick a story out after you brush your teeth,

okay?

Your choice for maid of honor -- that was a surprise.

>> Hope: Yeah.

Um...

right. You -- You didn't know.

Steffy and I were planning to raise our daughters together as

sisters, but then Beth died, and, um, Kelly has a new sister

now.

And I will be a stepmom to Steffy's nephew, so I think it's

best if we are...

one big blended family...

if...

you and Liam could get along.

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles softly ] Yeah.

There's no reason we can't...

after tomorrow, when you are Mrs. Thomas Forrester.

>> Hope: [ Chuckles ] >> Thomas: [ Chuckles ]

Mm.

I'll see you soon.

>> Steffy: Ohh.

It is not late enough for me to be this tired.

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, well, I figure you got...

five hours until one of them wants you for something.

>> Steffy: Mm-hmm.

>> Liam: Go to bed.

I'll wait up and make sure they're down for the count.

>> Steffy: Do you want me to iron your shirt for tomorrow?

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] No.

My mom was a Forrester fashion model.

I knew how to operate an iron and a sewing machine before I

could ride a two-wheeler.

>> Steffy: Okay.

So, you think you and Thomas will come to blows tomorrow?

>> Liam: I mean, look at me.

I'm not exactly one to throw a punch.

Your brother, on the other hand...

>> Steffy: Okay, stop.

I'm not arguing with you.

>> Liam: I'm not -- I'm not arguing with you.

>> Steffy: Then why do you conceptualize this wedding as

something Thomas is doing to Hope?

Clearly, she wants it, too.

You said so yourself.

Thomas is making motherhood possible for her again in a new

way.

Can't you just give him credit for that?

>> Ridge: No, I-I figured it was a long shot.

No, I-I get that, Stephen, and I'm -- I'm sorry for waking you

up.

It just -- I didn't know what time it was.

Okay.

We will send pictures.

Alright.

Okay. Good night.

[ Telephone beeps ] >> Thomas: Was that, uh, Brook's

dad on the phone?

>> Ridge: Yeah. I told him that his granddaughter's getting

married tomorrow, and he can't make it.

It's too short notice.

>> Thomas: Okay.

Well...look, if it's the short engagement that's bothering

Brooke, you know that was -- that was Hope.

She insisted on it.

>> Ridge: Because of Douglas, right?

>> Thomas: Uh, in every relationship, one person loves

more than the other, right?

It's no different here.

Sure, Hope is, uh...

I wouldn't say she's hesitant.

She's just naturally more cautious.

>> Ridge: Can I ask you something?

>> Thomas: Yeah.

>> Ridge: When -- When the two of you are, um...

>> Thomas: Oh, God.

>> Ridge: When the two of you are together...

>> Thomas: No. What?

>> Ridge: You're blushing?

I'm just asking you a question.

>> Thomas: You're not gonna ask me -- Okay. Yeah. No.

No, we haven't, uh, been intimate yet.

[ Scoffs ] That's just her way, though,

okay?

Tomorrow will be different.

Tomorrow we'll be married.

>> Brooke: Your hair -- What would you like to do with

your hair?

>> Hope: Nothing.

I can do it, Mom.

>> Brooke: Uh, flowers?

I could gather flowers in the garden.

>> Hope: Sure.

>> Brooke: And your dress.

>> Hope: I'm sure I have a few dresses hiding in my closet that

I haven't worn yet.

>> Brooke: Honey, let's stop pretending, okay?

You are no more ready to get married tomorrow morning than I

am to fly to the moon!

>> Hope: There's not much to it.

It's just saying a few words.

>> Brooke: Saying a few words?

You're pledging the rest of your life to somebody that you don't

love, that I don't trust!

>> Hope: Mom...

>> Brooke: Honey...

>> Hope: [ Sighs ] >> Brooke: ...it's not too late

to call it off.

If you don't want to marry Thomas, don't.

>> Thomas: I, uh -- I promised Douglas I'd read him a story,

so...

>> Ridge: One more thing, son.

>> Thomas: Yeah?

>> Ridge: Do you think Steffy is planning on bringing Liam to the

wedding?

>> Thomas: [ Sighs ] Well, I guess that's up to them.

>> Ridge: Because I could probably make a phone call to --

>> Thomas: No.

>> Ridge: Mm.

>> Thomas: Look, Hope ended their marriage.

She said she wants to be with me, so if he wants to come to

the wedding and stare daggers at me, why should I care?

>> Ridge: Hope might.

>> Thomas: Alright.

What's going on?

Did Brooke get to you or something?

>> Ridge: No. No.

I support you, and I support this marriage.

My point is that your soon-to-be wife still has feelings for her

ex-husband, which is normal, and I thought maybe it'd be a good

idea to keep him at a distance.

>> Thomas: Yeah, well, that won't matter after tomorrow,

will it?

Douglas is waiting.

>> Steffy: I don't like this.

I don't -- I don't like arguing with you.

>> Liam: I don't like it, either, and [Sighs] I know that

you love your brother because [Chuckles] hell, I love my

brother, even when he makes it impossible.

>> Steffy: But you act like Thomas is coming between you and

Hope, and let's be real.

Like, you're living here not because of Thomas --

because Hope annulled your marriage.

>> Liam: You got me.

Yeah, I-I-I realize that.

I mean [Sighs] Hope is as lost to me as Beth is to her, and she

has made that...

very clear.

The problem is her connection to Thomas seems to be making her

weaker, not stronger.

>> Steffy: Is she weaker or stronger for not doing what you

think she should?

>> Liam: They're not married yet.

>> Hope: You know me better than anyone, and if you're sensing

that I'm having some sort of hesitation --

>> Brooke: Doubts, honey.

You are having doubts.

>> Hope: Okay, yes!

I have doubts!

I have doubted every decision that I have made since I thought

going to Catalina when Beth was on the way was a good idea!

>> Brooke: No, Hope.

>> Hope: No, and I doubt that I have been treating Liam fairly,

because he has been trying -- He tried so hard to pull me out

of that lonely place I had sunken into, but there is one

thing that don't have a doubt about, and that's that I am good

for Douglas and he's good for me.

[ Chuckles softly ] I cherish the time we spend

together.

And when he draws me those little pictures and we get to

play games together...

>> Douglas: Go fish!

>> Hope: ...and I'm able to help soothe away his fear...

and that letter that Caroline wrote in case anything were to

happen to her, if she wasn't able to raise Douglas, she was

hoping for a woman that would bring him great joy...

a woman that Douglas would see as a second mother, and...

those feelings I have -- I don't doubt them.

>> Brooke: Those feelings you have for a lonely little boy.

>> Hope: The kind of love that I share with Liam...

it's not something that I expect to experience again.

>> Brooke: I-I don't know what to say to you.

Honestly, I don't.

Thomas is going to have expectations that you're not

going to be able to fulfill, and I don't know what kind of

feelings that he really has for you.

I don't really know if it's love.

I don't know if it's obsession.

I don't know if it's something even darker.

But I know, Hope, that you don't have any feelings for him

whatsoever.

And tomorrow, when you say your vows to Thomas...

to love or to cherish...

in sickness or in health, till death do us part...

you will be lying...

when you say, "I do."

[ Knock on door ] >> Thomas: That's the last time

I'll have to knock.

[ Both chuckle ] >> Hope: Looks like a full moon.

>> Thomas: Yeah.

Uh, were you waiting for me?

>> Hope: No. Why?

>> Thomas: I just -- I was afraid I wouldn't catch you --

you'd be asleep and I wouldn't be able to say good night.

>> Hope: Too many thoughts.

>> Thomas: Well, should I stay tonight?

>> Hope: Well, Douglas would worry, don't you think?

>> Thomas: No.

My dad and Brooke are there.

I love you...so much.

>> Hope: [ Chuckles ] It's gonna be a good day

tomorrow.

>> Thomas: The best day ever.

Oh, sorry.

[ Chuckles nervously ] I got a little carried away.

>> Hope: Must be the moon.

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ] I don't know if I'll be able to

sleep tonight.

Tell me you love me.

>> Hope: [ Chuckles nervously ] ♪♪

Not a peep from either one.

Go to bed.

I put some bottles in the warmer already.

could just...

dislike him silently, would be great.
