Original subtitles

I knew there was something wrong.

I knew you weren't acting like yourself, and it's because

of these.

You're still taking these, aren't you? That's why when

I came in, you were passed out on the couch with our daughter

in the other room.

Steffy, what if Kelly had a nightmare? What if she

was calling out for you and you're crashed on the couch?

She's fine.

Yeah, Kelly's fine, but her mother isn't.

Not if you're sneaking around, pretending not to take these,

pretending that you can handle this pain all on your own.

>> Steffy: I never pretended I was pain-free.

>> Liam: You did pretend that you were done with these.

I asked you, are there pills in the house? You said no.

And look what I find.

>> Steffy: You know, you have no right to go through my things.

We're not married.

You're Hope's husband, not mine.

>> Liam: That doesn't mean I stopped caring about you,

Steffy.

This is not you.

This is not who you are.

>> Steffy: I'm not listening to this anymore. You need to go.

>> Liam: Can you just be honest with me? How many did you take?

>> Steffy: I told you. I didn't take it. I didn't take it.

>> Liam: Stop it.

Stop lying to me.

In fact, stop lying to yourself.

>> Thomas: Oh, man.

Is my son a natural or what?

He is going to be a pro, I'm telling you.

>> Hope: I think Douglas might be a little bit young for that

as of right now, but he certainly loves playing catch

with his dad.

>> Thomas: And his mom.

You throw a pretty wicked curveball, by the way.

Yeah, we just, uh-- We're gonna put him straight

into baseball.

He's gonna rise up the ranks, you know, maybe MVP,

then go into pros. Who knows if we're gonna do college first? We

gotta make a decision on that.

Now I'm just talking to myself.

Sorry. What are you doing?

>> Hope: I am setting a timer.

I told Douglas he could play outside

just a little while longer, but then it is...

the dreaded bath time.

>> Thomas: Oh, no.

Douglas hates the bath time.

>> Hope: Yes, but what future star Dodgers pitcher doesn't?

>> Thomas: Oh. Yeah.

Is, um--Is something wrong?

>> Hope: Um, no.

It's just-- I'm just surprised that Liam

isn't back from Steffy's yet.

>> Thomas: Huh.

Yeah, well, I'm kinda surprised he went over there at all.

He's not Steffy's husband, you know, and he doesn't have

any say over her life.

Doesn't matter that they share a child.

>> Hope: I think he's just-- He's worried that Steffy hasn't

exactly been herself lately.

>> Thomas: Yeah.

Well, how could she be herself?

After everything she's been through?

I mean, the physical pain alone.

And, honestly, I think she's handling it

wonderfully. I-- She got taken off

the high-powered pain meds, and she's still dealing

with this?

I don't know how she does it, honestly.

>> Hope: I just--I don't know.

I hope everything's okay over there.

♪♪♪

>> Hope: All I'm trying to say is that I just hope

that Steffy's doing okay, because I know Liam would not

leave her there if she wasn't.

>> Thomas: That's why he's taking so long?

Look, he's there 'cause he thinks Steffy is in trouble,

and he's doing what he always does, and that's rescuing

the damsel in distress.

>> Hope: Okay.

First off, Steffy has never been

a damsel in distress.

She is one of the strongest women that I know.

>> Thomas: I know that, and I think Liam

should know that, but it doesn't really matter because he thinks

that something's going on.

I mean, he's got it out for this--this doctor.

>> Hope: Okay, I don't think he has it out for the doctor,

but...

I will give you this.

His antenna is certainly up.

>> Thomas: Yeah.

And, I mean, come on, for what?

Because he likes my sister?

Come on, Hope.

What's the issue here?

I mean, he stops by.

He checks on her, and he gives her and her day a lift.

What's the problem?

>> Hope: I...

actually agree with you.

And having met him-- I don't know--he seems great,

and I think he could be exactly what Steffy needs.

And besides, it's not like he's going to be her doctor forever.

>> Thomas: Exactly.

I mean...

Just wish that Liam could see that.

Maybe he just--I don't know.

Maybe he doesn't wanna see it.

>> Hope: What is that supposed to mean?

>> Thomas: [ clears throat ] Okay, look, Steffy has been

through a lot recently, and she's still dealing

with some emotional pain, and it does not help for Liam

to come back and shove himself into her life like this,

even if it is for the right reasons

or what he tells himself are the right reasons.

>> Steffy: You are way out of line.

>> Liam: You think I enjoy calling you a liar?

I hate that this is where we are now,

but, Steffy, I'm really, really worried about you.

>> Steffy: You're making more of this than it is.

>> Liam: I was practically screaming your name.

You were totally unconscious.

And when you finally came to, you were so out of it,

you could barely pull yourself together.

Steffy, I have never seen you like this.

Do you know how much you freaked me out?

To come in here and see you passed out on the couch?

>> Steffy: I wasn't passed out.

I was sleeping.

Just like Kelly is sleeping in the other room,

so keep your voice down.

I don't want you to upset her.

>> Liam: Yeah, I don't wanna upset her either.

So can you imagine if she was the one

who came in here and found you and couldn't wake you up?

Do you know how traumatic that would be for her?

>> Steffy: Kelly is safe.

Nothing happened.

Stop making it sound like something did.

Kelly is the most important thing in the world to me,

and you know that.

>> Liam: Yeah, well, I also know that you want me and everybody

else to think that you're doing just fine, but you're not.

You're not fine, Steffy.

You're using these to manage your pain.

Why won't you just admit that? ♪♪♪

♪♪♪

>> Thomas: [ exhales ] Well, Douglas is playing

with his lizard friend again.

>> Hope: Oh, is he?

>> Thomas: Mm-hmm.

>> Hope: You know what he named him? His name is Arlo.

>> Thomas: Arlo.

That's such an interesting name.

I wonder where he picked that up. [ laughs ]

You know, I actually tried to meet Arlo.

Didn't work too well.

He ran straight up a tree.

But, uh, Douglas has the magic touch.

Okay.

About Liam--Look, I'm-- I didn't mean to make it weird

or anything. I'm just saying that Liam needs to stop

what he's doing.

He needs to back away from Steffy.

He doesn't like her relationship with her doctor? I mean,

who cares?

Just leave it alone and stop stirring things up.

>> Hope: I don't think he sees it that way, though.

He's just-- He's worried about Steffy

and his daughter.

>> Thomas: Really?

Kelly? That's what-- Come on, Hope.

You know that's not what this is.

This is Liam doing what he always does--

trying to pretend to be the--the amazing boy scout.

Right? But what has Dr. Finnegan really done

besides being super attentive to Steffy?

Right. And that's really what Liam has a problem with.

He has a problem with any man showing interest in her

beyond a professional one.

>> Hope: I am telling you he is genuinely concerned,

and he is just trying to look out for her.

>> Thomas: He doesn't need to.

Okay? I'm her brother.

I'm looking out for her.

My dad is looking out for her.

Heck, Vinny is sending her gifts looking out for her.

I mean, she's got so many people in her life that love her.

Right?

And you saw her.

She's in great spirits. Right?

Okay.

So he just needs to let it go.

And if he steps back, maybe he'll realize

she's doing really well.

A heck of a lot better.

>> Steffy: How dare you.

I didn't ask you to come here.

I haven't asked anything from you.

Yet you feel like you can barge in here and bully me

into admitting I'm taking those pills when I'm not.

My God, Liam.

>> Liam: Steffy, come on, don't turn this around on me.

I'm trying to help.

>> Steffy: You're always trying to help.

Liam Spencer trying to save some poor misguided soul

from screwing up her life.

Well, I don't need rescuing.

I'm fine.

I'm taking care of myself.

>> Liam: You're taking care of yourself?

You think this is ta-- These--These do not take care

of you, Steffy.

They take control of you.

>> Steffy: I'm telling you I didn't take those pills.

>> Liam: And I'm telling you I don't buy it for a second.

I don't buy that you're not self-medicating

with an extremely powerful drug.

Do you understand that these are opioids?

Do you get that?

They're opioids.

They are highly addictive.

They ruin people's lives.

They-- They change

their entire character.

>> Steffy: That's what you think happened to me?

You don't recognize this woman because I'm abusing drugs?

>> Liam: No, I don't recognize you.

The person that I'm talking to right now is not the same person

that I know and love.

>> Steffy: I can't believe it.

You think I'm addicted.

>> Liam: I'm not--I'm not calling you an addict.

>> Steffy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're saying I'm an addict.

You're saying I'm a drug addict.

>> Liam: All right, listen to me.

I have been very worried about you for weeks now.

I thought something was off, and at least now I know

it's these.

I know it's the pills.

But it's not just the pills.

It's the doctor who prescribed them. You know that's why

I came over here in the first place? Because I wanted to talk

to you about your relationship with him which is beyond

inappropriate at this point and, clearly, clouding

his judgment because there is no doctor worth his salt

who will ever let this happen.

>> Steffy: Yes, Liam! Yes!

Yes, I took the pills.

I'll admit it. I took the pills.

You satisfied now? ♪♪♪

>> Hope: Whoa. That's so awesome, Douglas.

[ cellphone chimes ] >> Thomas: [ sighs ]

♪♪♪ >> Hope: All right. But you stay

where I can see you.

[ laughs ] Is everything okay?

>> Thomas: Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just, uh, Vinny wanted to go surfing lately.

>> Hope: Well, I think it's sweet

that he's been sending Steffy "get well" gifts.

>> Thomas: [ laughs ] Yeah, at first--

First, he sent some flowers.

Then he, uh--he sent over her favorite coffee

along with actually a stuffed animal for Kelly.

>> Hope: That's so thoughtful of him.

>> Thomas: Yeah. That guy is crushing on her pretty hard.

>> Hope: I don't know, Thomas.

Sometimes people can do nice things just because.

>> Thomas: Sure.

You, uh-- You still a little bugged,

Liam going over to Steffy's?

>> Hope: [ sighs ] Thomas, if you are about to go

into some big spiel about how Liam probably

still wants Steffy and he's still pining after her,

you can save your breath.

Okay? Because I'm not insecure.

True.

He's spending a little bit more time with her

and focusing on her, but as soon as she starts to

feel better and is out of pain and she's recuperated,

everyone's life is going to go back to normal.

Steffy's life is going to go back to normal,

and so will Liam's.

>> Steffy: You're right.

Yeah, you're right.

I took a couple pills, and I crashed on the couch.

Big deal.

I just need a little help a bit longer to get me

over this hump.

>> Liam: A little help?

Steffy, these things are nuclear if you're not careful.

>> Steffy: I know that.

The doctor explained that.

>> Liam: The doctor explained that to you, but he keeps

giving them to you?

In this condition.

Are you kidding me?

Whatever happened to the Hippocratic oath, Steffy?

Whatever happened to do no harm?

>> Steffy: He doesn't know.

>> Liam: What?

>> Steffy: He doesn't know.

>> Liam: Wh-- What? Wait? So somehow

you're keeping these from him just like you are me

and everybody else?

Why?

>> Steffy: Why?

Isn't it obvious?

I'm in pain.

I've been in pain ever since the motorcycle accident.

And it hasn't been a day, an hour I have been free from it,

and the only thing that gives me relief are those pills.

And I tried to go off of them.

I tried to. The doctor told me, and I did, and I took

the over-the-counter meds, but they didn't work.

The pain just got worse.

And I need to be able to function.

I need to be there for my daughter.

>> Liam: I understand that.

>> Steffy: No, you don't understand,

because you moved on.

You walked away from Kelly and me

to a future with Hope and Beth.

You have your perfect family.

You have your perfect everything.

But where does that leave me?

I'm alone.

I'm alone! ♪♪♪

>> Steffy: Why so shocked? Or is it guilt?

Because you dumped Kelly and me for your other family.

>> Liam: Steffy.

I'm--I'm here for you now.

The whole family is.

You-You don't-- You don't need to rely

on these pills or the--this doctor I don't trust anymore.

>> Steffy: That doctor you don't trust has been nothing

but kind to me.

That doctor you don't trust doesn't judge me the way

you're judging me now.

>> Liam: I'm not judging you.

I'm trying to get you to see-- >> Steffy: You know what I see?

My mother is out of town, and my dad, he's dealing

with his own personal drama, and you,

your life is all about Hope and Beth.

I know I said in the past that I don't need anyone,

but right now, given the state that I am in,

I need someone.

I need someone who listens and cares, and that doctor,

he is that someone.

>> Liam: Steffy-- >> Steffy: I don't wanna

hear it. I don't wanna hear it.

You can't walk out of my life and then tell me

I can't be with him.

You left, not me.

And Kelly's still sleeping.

I don't want you upsetting her.

You need to go. Now.

>> Liam: I'm not going.

>> Steffy: No, I don't wanna hear it. Leave.

I'm not hearing this anymore.

You need to leave now.

♪♪♪ >> Hope: Steffy is going

to get through this, and, hey, she might even

find love again.

>> Thomas: Not if Liam has anything to say about it.

He is only that way because he's protective of her.

You know, she's Kelly's mother.

And Liam and I, we just-- We wanna help out with Kelly
