>> Flo: Hope never would have married you if she knew the

truth.

I have to tell her.

♪♪ >> Steffy: Uh...

your daughter...

is, like, a brat sometimes.

>> Liam: Excuse me.

Kelly is the perfect child.

>> Steffy: Uh, no, Phoebe.

It's like right when I have my guard down, when I have, like,

the protective cloth off, it's like, "Bam!," right on me.

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] >> Steffy: Wait a minute.

What are you -- What are you doing with Phoebe's

adoption papers?

>> Liam: Um...

I'm just curious. Is that okay?

>> Steffy: Are you looking for something in particular?

Maybe I can point you in the right direction.

>> Liam: I'm trying to find out how Flo came to be in L.A. if

she gave birth in Vegas.

Like -- Like, does she know people here, or...

>> Steffy: Mm, like, besides Wyatt?

>> Liam: Well, no.

Wyatt was just a coincidence.

She didn't even know he lived here.

>> Steffy: I don't think she planned on staying here.

>> Liam: What is Flo's relationship with Thomas?

♪♪ ♪♪

>> Thomas: Good morning, Mrs. Forrester.

>> Hope: Good morning.

Sleep well?

>> Thomas: Oh, passably...

though something was missing.

>> Hope: Mm.

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ] >> Hope: Hmm.

>> Thomas: How 'bout you?

>> Hope: Uh, it took a while to go to sleep, you know, with all

the excitement.

>> Thomas: Well, you should have knocked on my door.

So, what was it -- good dreams, bad dreams?

>> Hope: I don't really remember.

>> Thomas: I don't believe that.

I-I'm kidding, obviously.

>> Hope: Well, uh, Douglas is probably...

finished with his breakfast by now, so...

>> Thomas: Isn't Brooke down there?

>> Hope: Yeah.

[ Chuckles nervously ] >> Thomas: This --

This right here -- This is what I dreamed about.

♪♪ ♪♪

>> Steffy: Relationship?

With Thomas and Flo?

They hardly know each other outside of work.

What gave you that idea?

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] I mean, I kind of got the impression at

the wedding that they don't...

care for each other.

>> Steffy: Yeah, Thomas rubs people the wrong way, but what

does that have to do with Phoebe's adoption?

>> Liam: I-I'm just becoming very aware of how little I know

about, like, how you met Flo and the whole adoption process

and...

Would you mind walking me through it?

>> Steffy: I don't think there's much I haven't told you, but,

yeah, sure.

♪♪ ♪♪

>> Thomas: I'll tell you exactly what to do.

You're gonna keep your mouth shut.

You're gonna keep this secret until the day you die.

[ Knock on door ] >> Ridge: Door seems to be

locked.

>> Flo: Sorry.

I didn't realize I did that.

>> Ridge: Hey.

That used to be my excuse.

When I was in here, I was usually up to no good.

Uh, fabric order for Hope for the Future --

it's been discontinued.

>> Flo: Oh, wow.

I literally just put that order in.

>> Ridge: So, what are you -- her right-hand person now?

>> Flo: I'll let her know when I see her when she comes in.

>> Ridge: She may not come in.

She got married yesterday, as you know.

You missed a heck of a ceremony.

>> Flo: I'm really sorry I was late.

>> Ridge: You do what I do -- get there late, leave early --

if you don't want to be there at all.

>> Flo: That was not my intention.

>> Ridge: Some of the other Logan women have some

reservations about my son.

>> Flo: Well, Hope, uh -- she says that she's known Thomas

for most of her life.

>> Ridge: It's true.

>> Flo: Maybe that's why she...

sees a different version of him than the rest of us.

>> Hope: Thomas, the door is open.

Anyone could walk in.

>> Thomas: We're married.

We're not doing anything wrong.

[ Both chuckle ] Okay, I get it. I get it.

We're in your mother's house, and our son's room is right down

the hall.

Not the best setting for two newlyweds...

which is why I booked us a little staycation honeymoon

tonight, just the two of us.

>> Ridge: I think the biggest problem is that you don't know

my son very well.

>> Flo: Or maybe it's just a chemistry thing.

He hasn't really liked me from the very beginning.

>> Ridge: I don't know about that.

I think he's just naturally supercilious.

He gets it from me.

Just because he looks down on you doesn't mean that he doesn't

like you.

>> Flo: You're funny.

>> Ridge: No. I'm not.

I just don't have a filter.

Can I ask you a favor?

Try to find a little spot where you could have the possibility

of being wrong about my son.

>> Flo: I haven't said anything bad about him.

>> Ridge: You just got one of those tell-all faces, I think.

>> Flo: You think I look like an open book?

>> Ridge: I think we all do in the beginning, until we don't.

Thomas is a good guy.

You should see him with his son.

He'd do anything for the little boy.

He gets that from me, too.

♪♪ >> Thomas: Well, we couldn't go

to Fiji or France, so I booked us a nice hotel room.

>> Hope: Well, is Douglas coming?

>> Thomas: That would kind of defeat the purpose.

>> Hope: What is the purpose?

>> Thomas: Seriously, Hope?

I mean [Chuckles] we got married so quick, we didn't have time to

have a real honeymoon.

>> Hope: Well, did you ask Ridge or my mom if they can take care

of Douglas tonight, or did you just assume that they would?

>> Thomas: I'll make arrangements for Douglas.

>> Hope: [ Sighs ] Don't you think this is

something that you should have talked to your wife about first?

>> Thomas: Oh. So, I have to ask my wife's permission to surprise

her?

I don't think so.

>> Hope: We'll see.

>> Thomas: Whoa. Uh, what do you mean, "We'll see"?

>> Hope: Well, right now I have to go to work.

>> Thomas: Okay. Okay.

Okay. A half-day is fine, but after that, you're with me.

It'll be a lot of fun.

We'll get room service, a little champagne...

have a long, fun night.

>> Hope: Okay. Well, you, uh, I guess, try to figure out a plan

for Douglas...

and we'll see.

You can text me, okay?

Bye.

>> Thomas: [ Sighs ] >> Steffy: If you're worried

that the adoption isn't air-tight, don't be.

Carter insisted doing it by the book.

>> Liam: No, I kn-- I know that, but...

can we -- can we start from the beginning?

>> Steffy: What beginning?

>> Liam: Like how you met Flo.

>> Steffy: Oh. You'd have to ask my mom about that.

>> Liam: Wait. Taylor knows Flo?

>> Steffy: No. Like, she knew someone who helped Flo handle

the adoption.

>> Liam: Oh. So Flo does know someone in L.A.

Who?

>> Steffy: I couldn't tell you.

[ Cellphone rings ] >> Flo: What?

>> Thomas: Have you sobered up yet?

[ Sighs ] [ Dialing ]

[ Ringing ] [ Cellphone rings ]

>> Flo: I'm sober enough to know I have nothing left to say to

you.

>> Thomas: Hang up on me again and you will regret it.

>> Flo: I'm at work.

What do you want?

>> Thomas: I'm trying to make sure that my message penetrated

your alcoholic haze yesterday.

One word from you about my sister's daughter Phoebe and

you'll lose more than your boyfriend or your job.

Yours is the only name mentioned all over Phoebe's bogus adoption

papers.

>> Flo: Her name is Beth.

>> Thomas: Does that make you feel better, saying it out

loud -- Phoebe's Beth, Beth is Phoebe?

Okay. Well, no one is going to know that Baby Beth is alive.

Understood?

I got to go.

Douglas.

What have I told you about knocking?

>> Douglas: Sorry.

>> Thomas: Did you finish your breakfast?

>> Douglas: Hope said I should brush my teeth after, so I did.

>> Thomas: That's my boy.

>> Liam: So, you didn't -- you didn't ask questions?

>> Steffy: Of course I did.

Who's nosier than me?

>> Liam: No, no, no. I know.

Um, I just mean about the -- the go-between person facilitating

the adoption.

>> Steffy: If my mom told me, I-I don't remember.

Look, I grew up with a doctor who had friends as doctors.

Like, I'm used to there being things they can't and won't talk

about.

If she wanted me to know the name, she would have told me.

>> Liam: But... how do you know that any of the people involved

were...legit?

>> Steffy: All the documentation is there.

>> Liam: See, not really, though, 'cause look.

Okay. Here's your name, here's Flo's name, here's Carter, Flo's

lawyer, and then over here is the -- the hospital in Vegas

that Flo had Phoebe, but it doesn't say anything about your

mom's colleague.

>> Steffy: She vouched for him or her.

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

>> Liam: Oh, she vouched for the person that we don't know and

never heard of?

>> Steffy: Look, my mom knew how much I wanted Kelly to have a

sister, so she tried to make that happen.

She even took care of the money.

>> Liam: Okay. How much?

Because, look, there's this box, and it says, "Fee," but there's

no -- like, it just says, "Paid."

There's no dollar amount.

>> Steffy: You sound suspicious.

Are you?

>> Liam: I love Phoebe, okay?

I-I am surprised at how much I love this baby that I'm not even

related to.

But if I'm gonna raise her...

I just -- I feel like I want to know everything about how she

came to be.

>> Steffy: Okay.

Well, just be careful with the birth certificate.

It's the only one I have.

>> Liam: Yeah. But this is not -- this is not the original,

right?

>> Steffy: Uh, no. No.

That's the official one after the adoption.

It has my name on it where it says, "Mom"...

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Steffy: ...instead of Flo's.

Uh, the original is locked away.

It's not for the public.

>> Liam: Why?

>> Steffy: I don't know.

I just think that's how it is unless you formally request it.

But I think Flo wants her privacy.

>> Flo: Hi.

>> Hope: Hi.

>> Flo: Uh, that organic cotton gingham that you ordered is out

of stock, so Ridge took the call.

>> Hope: Oh, gosh.

Well, that's just what they say when they want to jack up the

price on another lot.

>> Flo: [ Chuckles ] >> Hope: I heard that I missed

you yesterday.

I'm sorry.

>> Flo: No, no, no.

I should be the one who's apologizing.

I, uh -- I got held up, and I missed the ceremony.

>> Hope: Yeah, well, you've seen one wedding, you've seen them

all.

>> Flo: I hope you don't mean that.

Wyatt showed me pictures from your wedding to Liam in Italy.

>> Hope: Yeah, it was beautiful.

We were all so young back then.

>> Flo: You looked really happy in those.

>> Hope: It's easy to be excited about the future before you know

what's in it.

Besides, yesterday was different.

It was about a little boy's future, his happiness.

And that's enough.

>> Thomas: Do you know what a honeymoon is?

>> Douglas: Something sweet?

>> Thomas: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Yeah, it's something sweet for

married people.

It's a little trip they take right after their wedding, and

they take it alone.

>> Douglas: Are you and Hope doing one?

>> Thomas: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

You're way ahead of me, aren't you?

Yeah, we're gonna do one.

Just a short one, though -- one night.

And while we're gone, how 'bout you go over to your aunt

Steffy's -- hang out with her and your cousins?

Does that sound good?

>> Douglas: Cool. And Liam.

>> Thomas: Yeah. Yeah.

He lives there, too.

>> Douglas: He's nice.

>> Thomas: Is he?

Okay. Well, why don't you go, uh -- Why don't you go pick out

some stuff you want to take over to Steffy's and I'll be in

in a minute to help you out?

[ Groans softly ] >> Douglas: Daddy?

>> Thomas: Yeah? What's up, bud?

>> Douglas: Why did you say that Baby Beth is alive?

>> Thomas: I didn't.

>> Douglas: I heard you.

>> Thomas: No. Y-You misheard.

>> Douglas: You said it on the phone.

>> Thomas: Okay, Douglas, stop.

This -- This isn't funny.

>> Douglas: You said Baby Beth is alive.

>> Thomas: I would never say anything so wrong, and I don't

want to hear it from you, either, okay?

Answer me!

>> Douglas: Ow! You're mean.

>> Thomas: Okay. I'm your father, and I'm serious.

I don't want to hear those words again.

You got it?

♪♪ >> Wyatt: Flo was talking about

all these things she's never done before -- being married,

building a life with someone, having a baby.

And the way she said it, it's like she...

never actually gave birth.

>> Medical records.

>> Liam: Uh, hi. This is St. Vincent's Medical Center?

>> That's correct.

You've reached the Medical Records Office.

How can I help you?

>> Liam: How long do you keep records of babies born at your

hospital?

>> Six years, at least -- sometimes longer.

>> Liam: Awesome. My daughter's not even 8 months old.

So, listen, the attending physician's name was...

something Cortez.

I can't actually read the first name.

>> Sir, we have a couple doctors named Cortez.

>> Liam: Well, this is an obstetrician, obviously, right?

>> Well, for a birth certificate, you want the

Health District Facility on South Decatur.

Would you like that number?

>> Liam: Yeah, okay.

So, here's the thing -- our daughter is adopted, so the

official birth certificate just isn't gonna have the information

that I need.

>> Sir, if you're asking me to violate patient

confidentiality...

>> Liam: Okay. Can you verify information that the birth

mother gave me?

Her name is Florence Fulton.

If I give you a date, can you confirm that she was a patient?

>> Hope: So...

is the new job getting a little easier?

>> Flo: I think it was a mistake to hire me.

>> Hope: What? Why?

This isn't about the gingham, I hope.

>> Flo: I just can't stand everything that's going on.

>> Hope: Oh, okay.

So, this is serious.

>> Flo: You were married yesterday.

Why are you here?

>> Hope: Well, it's not that type of, uh...

>> Flo: Not that type of marriage?

Yeah. I know.

You didn't want to leave Liam.

You didn't want to marry Thomas.

So, why are you doing these things to yourself that you

don't want to do?

>> Hope: [ Voice breaking ] Because love is hard.

Because you eventually wind up disappointing the person that

you love because you can't give them what they want, no matter

how hard the try.

I lost Beth.

But I have a little boy who needs me, and it might not sound

like much of a life to you, but...

it's mine.

It's what I can do.

>> Thomas: I am very disappointed in you.

What do you have to say for yourself?

>> Douglas: You said Phoebe is Beth.

>> Thomas: I was talking on the phone about another person named

Beth.

>> Douglas: You said Beth is alive.

>> Thomas: Stop saying that.

I am your father, and I will be obeyed.

Haven't I given you so much?

I've given you a bigger house than we had before.

I've given you all the food that you want, all this room to play

outside.

Haven't I given you Hope?

>> Douglas: You don't talk about Mommy anymore.

>> Thomas: Mommy's dead.

Hope is Mommy now.

>> Douglas: I love Hope, but only Mommy is Mommy.

>> Thomas: [ Sighs ] Okay, look.

If you're so unhappy, then...

why don't I go back to New York, huh, and I'll leave you here?

How would that be?

>> Douglas: Hope will take care of me.

>> Thomas: No, Hope's my wife, so she comes with me.

You'll be here on your own.

>> Douglas: I don't want to be on my own.

>> Thomas: You don't know how to obey.

>> Douglas: Yes, I do.

>> Thomas: What did I tell you to do?

>> Douglas: To not say what I heard.

>> Thomas: What you think you heard, okay?

You can't say Beth's name ever again -- not to me,

not to anyone.
