the handsomest.

>> Thomas: Yeah, it's, uh --

It's really sad that Mom

couldn't be here.

>> Ridge: Well, she's

disappointed, too, but

everything was just too

last-minute.

But working for a human-rights

campaign in Africa is a pretty

good excuse, I think.

>> Thomas: Well, I'm --

I'm really proud of her.

Hey, bud, you want to go brush

your teeth before we head down?

>> Douglas: Okay.

>> Thomas: Alright.

[ Door opens ]

>> Ridge: How are you really

feeling?

>> Thomas: Honestly?

I feel like I could use a little

more support.

I don't know what else I can do.

>> Thomas: No.

You're great. You're great.

Uh, you know, but, obviously,

Liam and, um, you know, I could

use some more from --

from Brooke.

>> Ridge: They're just being

protective.

>> Thomas: Yeah, well, Hope's a

grown woman.

She's made her choice, and,

look, I can take care of Liam,

but you got to talk to Brooke.

She already broke up

you and Mom.

What is she gonna do?

Is she gonna break up Hope

and me?

She needs to stop.

>> Hope: Hey, Mom.

>> Brooke: Why aren't you

getting ready?

>> Hope: I am.

Or I was. I just...

>> Brooke: Just what?

about stuff.

>> Brooke: Liam?

If you're having second

Do you want to call off this

wedding?

>> Ridge: What's all this?

Hey, Pam, I saw your spread in

the kitchen.

It was pretty amazing what you

can do on short notice.

>> Pam: Oh, thank you.

You know, anything for family.

I got to admit, with Charlie out

of town, it's been kind of a

challenge, doing this all on my

lonesome.

It's good to have a partner in

life, Thomas, so

congratulations.

You know, I just have a little

feeling that your grandmother's

looking down on you right now...

with a big smile on her face.

>> Thomas: Thank you.

>> Pam: I got to get to the...

>> Thomas: Yeah.

>> Eric: Ha! Look what we found

checking out the backyard.

>> Quinn: Yeah. It's like a

carnival out there.

here is done.

Hey, bud!

>> Douglas: It is so cool!

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ]

>> Steffy: Hi.

>> Ridge: Hey!

Oh, you look beautiful.

>> Steffy: Thank you.

Bro, you went all out with the

inflatables and the games.

>> Ridge: You should see the

petting zoo out there.

>> Thomas: Yeah. Look, I know

that it's the bride's day, but

so much of what we're doing is

for the kids, I wanted to

include them in a special way.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

They're gonna love it.

They'll have a blast.

>> Amelia: Hey, Douglas, I'm

gonna take the girls to the

backyard.

Do you want to join?

Alright. Come on.

>> Thomas: Stay clean, okay?

Don't get dirty.

>> Steffy: Amelia won't let

them.

>> Thomas: Ahh.

>> Steffy: Where's Hope>

>> Ridge: She's in the bedroom.

>> Steffy: Oh, okay.

>> Ridge: Come on.

>> Steffy: I guess I'll go help

her.

Play nice.

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ]

>> Eric: Aha!

I was wondering when the two of

you were gonna get here.

>> Pam: How are you?

>> Quinn: We didn't think you

were even gonna make it.

>> Donna: Well, we had to talk

ourselves into coming a little

bit.

>> Katie: Yeah. We figured that

our love for Hope was more

important than our reservations

about this wedding.

>> Quinn: Yeah.

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ] I, uh --

I hope you didn't feel obligated

to be here.

>> Liam: Oh, no. Stop. Stop.

You should probably get used to

seeing my face anyway 'cause,

uh, I'll always be where Hope

will find me.

>> Thomas: Steffy went in with

Hope.

You know, maybe you should just

focus on your own family.

>> Liam: I like all the stuff

you did for the kids.

That's a -- That's a nice touch.

>> Thomas: I wanted them to feel

included.

>> Liam: No, I think want you

want is to play on Hope's broken

heart so she stays vulnerable to

you, but...

whatever.

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ]

>> Steffy: Maid of honor

reporting.

Sorry I'm late.

>> Hope: Actually, you are right

on time.

>> Brooke: It's not like we're

in a hurry.

>> Steffy: This is gonna be so

exciting!

We're finally gonna be the

family we planned on.

>> Hope: Yeah, and that is the

point -- to create a loving,

stable, extended family for the

children.

>> Brooke: You can still have

that, but you don't need to go

through with this.

>> Steffy: Okay.

>> Brooke: You can change your

mind, honey, and I hope you do.

We're gonna continue this

conversation when I come back

upstairs, before the ceremony.

>> Steffy: You know, when Brooke

disses my brother, I'm obviously

gonna defend him.

But she does have a point.

>> Hope: What are you saying?

>> Steffy: I know how Thomas

feels about you...

and I also know how you feel

about Liam.

>> Hope: Doesn't matter.

>> Steffy: No, just hear me out,

okay?

I support this marriage, and you

know I love my brother.

He gets on my nerves sometimes,

but...

I want him to find happiness.

And I want that for Douglas,

too.

So, for...everyone's sake...

only marry my brother if you

mean it...

if you can truly commit to

Douglas and Thomas.

If you can't...

then maybe Brooke is right.

Maybe you should call off the

wedding.

now.

Carter is here.

weddings have you officiated

now?

It's always a pleasure, though.

This one did catch me by

getting ready with the maid of

something, given the rivalry

between Steffy and Hope all

these years, they should be so

close now.

Hope today, combining their

for a minute?

Hi.

This is supposed to be a happy

day.

happy.

I am concerned.

But Thomas and Hope are getting

married.

>> Brooke: I'm well aware,

unfortunately.

>> Carter: Everything okay?

>> Liam: It is not.

>> Carter: Not a fan of the

wedding, I take it?

point, appears to be nothing but

a facsimile of a human being.

>> Carter: Is that what you

think?

What do you -- What do you call

a guy who uses his son to

manipulate a grieving woman?

Primping at a family function?

What, are you, like, hoping to

meet someone here or something?

Oh, Pam.

Does anyone know if Flo is

coming?

>> Katie: Uh, yeah.

I'm sure Hope invited her.

>> Quinn: Flo should be here.

She's a Logan now.

>> Thomas: Yeah, more than you

know.

>> Katie: What does that mean?

>> Thomas: Oh. That means, like

the rest of the Logan women,

Flo disapproves of me.

>> Eric: That's not true,

Thomas.

You know that.

>> Thomas: No. You're right.

You're right. It's not me.

It's not me.

It's Hope being with me.

That's what's so distasteful.

[ Chuckles ]

Right, Liam?

Right, Brooke?

>> Eric: Alright, everybody.

You know, I think, uh --

I think we should just calm

down.

This is a blessed family event

here today.

We're all gathered here in love

and support of Thomas and Hope's

mutually agreed-upon path.

Now, failing that, let's all do

our best to keep our negative

energy at bay.

>> Hope: I'll always love Liam.

He was my husband.

I wanted to share my life with

him.

We were gonna have a family, and

the future seemed limitless

until that awful night when

everything changed.

And I haven't been the same

since, and I'm not sure I ever

will be again.

>> Steffy: It makes me sad to

hear you say that.

>> Hope: Yeah. Well, if I'm

gonna move on, I have to move in

a different direction...

toward the family I can have,

towards the mother I can be

to Douglas.

>> Steffy: And where does Thomas

fit in to all this?

>> Hope: We're gonna be

co-parents together and raise

Douglas and give him the best

life possible.

I mean, I've been honest with

Thomas about this.

It's not just about our feelings

for one another.

It's about...

this little boy who...

lost his mom...

and who is in desperate need of

having a family again.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

>> Hope: [ Chuckles ]

>> Steffy: Hope, we're sisters!

[ Both laugh ]

Ohh.

I'm so happy for you.

Now let's get you ready.

>> Hope: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sniffles ]

>> Steffy: You look beautiful.

>> Hope: [ Sighs softly ]

Thank you.

>> Steffy: Thomas is lucky to

have you.

And Douglas hit the jackpot,

having a mom like you.

>> Hope: [ Chuckles softly ]

[ Inhales deeply, chuckles ]

>> Steffy: Did I say something

wrong?

>> Hope: Mnh-mnh.

This is just how I am now.

Heightened emotions.

The thought of...

being able to be a mother to

Douglas -- it brings tears

to my eyes.

And, you know, we talked

about it.

I never thought I'd be a mother

again.

And I don't want to have my own

children.

I-I-I can't get pregnant again.

The thought of losing a third

child -- I-I wouldn't be able to

bear it.

I'm barely keeping it together

as it is.

[ Inhales deeply ]

But the one thing that gets me

through -- it's the children...

giving them the love and

foundation they deserve.

>> Steffy: I know we've had our

differences...

but we've come a long way.

Like, I am your maid of honor.

[ Laughing ] What?

>> Hope: I know.

[ Both laugh ]

>> Steffy: Ohh.

>> Hope: Mm.

>> Steffy: I'm so proud and

happy to welcome you into my

family.

Are you ready to do this?

Are you ready to marry my

brother?

>> Hope: [ Sighs ]

Could you get my mom?

♪♪

>> Carter: Is it me, or does it

feel like the ceremony should

have started already?

>> Eric: Carter, you've done

enough weddings to know that a

bride doesn't care anything

about a time table.

>> Pam: Yeah, but maybe I should

bring out another round of

canapés just to kind of tide

people over, 'cause...

>> Donna: Do you think you

should go check on Hope?

>> Katie: I'm sure if something

was wrong, Steffy would tell us.

getting impatient.

married?

We're gonna make the best little

family -- prove all the

naysayers wrong.

Don't worry about them.

Worry about Hope and you and

Douglas and the journey you're

gonna be on.

long.

down.

Don't worry about it.

Is Hope ready?

Brooke, Hope wants to see you.

Where are the girls?

>> Ridge: They're still outside.

Let's go get 'em.

>> Thomas: Did Hope seem okay,

or...?

>> Liam: Of course she's not

okay.

You tricked her into marrying

you.

>> Thomas: Have you ever heard

of being gracious?

Look, this wedding's happening.

Just get over it.

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

I mean, you haven't said vows

yet, and she's not here right

now, and, in fact, she just

asked for her mother, so things

may not work out the way you

want.

>> Thomas: Mm. [ Sniffs ]

[ Door opens ]

>> Brooke: You're still not

dressed.

>> Hope: Getting there.

>> Brooke: [ Sighs ]

Honey...

I remember when you were

marrying Liam, and you were

bursting with joy.

You were radiating love.

And I don't see any of that

today.

But then, of course,

I understand that because you

aren't in love with the groom.

So if you want to call it off,

you can, Hope.

>> Hope: Douglas needs me.

>> Brooke: Okay.

Well, you can be there for

Douglas.

But if you go through with the

wedding today, it's because you

want to be Thomas' wife,

not Douglas' mother.

You cannot sacrifice your future

like that.

Be a mother to Douglas.

Go ahead. Mother him.

That's fine.

Nobody's telling you not to do

that.

But don't marry Thomas, Hope.

You don't love him.

I can see it.

You're very distant when you're

with him.

You keep him at arm's length.

I've never seen you touch him or

kiss him.

Okay. Okay.

So, maybe you care about him.

But caring for somebody...

is...so different from loving

them.

>> Hope: Mom...

I told you...

this isn't about Thomas or me.

It is about a little sweet boy

who lost his mother, who is in

need of a mom, and I can fill

that role.

I need to fill that role.

>> Brooke: Honey, stop.

I know...

it broke your heart when you

lost Beth.

I understand that, and I know

you feel like your life is never

gonna be the same.

But it will be.

It will.

But you can't -- you can't marry

Thomas.

You just can't do this.

I don't have a good feeling

about this.

Are you listening to me?

I feel that if you marry him,

you're going to be making the

biggest mistake of your life and

you're going to regret it, Hope,

so I am begging you, please,

don't marry Thomas.
