>> Hope: [ giggles ] >> Liam: This is, like,

this is so surreal to me.

I--This right here is all I've been thinking about

when I was away.

I mean I just-- I just put my children to bed.

Do you--Do you understand how that--that simple act,

how much I miss that? That's-- >> Hope: And it was not

an easy task.

>> Liam: No, no.

>> Hope: Beth and Douglas did not wanna go to sleep.

They were so excited to have you home.

>> Liam: Yeah, well, I didn't want them to go sleep.

I just wanna keep 'em up all night, so I can keep

kissing 'em and hugging 'em.

>> Hope: [ chuckles ] >> Liam: I love it here.

I love this place.

I love-- I love my family.

I love my gorgeous wife.

>> Hope: Welcome home, Liam.

>> Wyatt: Oh, isn't this a sight?

>> Katie: [ chuckles ] >> Wyatt: Dad back at the helm,

love of his life in his arms.

>> Katie: I know, just like that.

He's back and Will has his dad.

>> Bill: Uh-hmm.

I can't wait to see him.

>> Katie: Uh-hmm.

>> Bill: And you...

>> Wyatt: Uh-hmm.

>> Bill: I actually missed you.

>> Wyatt: I grow on people.

It's a gift, so...

>> Bill: Damn, it is so good to be back with you guys.

No plexiglass between us.

>> Katie: I mean, what happened?

Uh, you were released.

Just all of a sudden?

>> Bill: Yeah.

Thomas.

Come on in.

>> Thomas: I, uh, I won't take long.

I realize reunions are in progress.

>> Bill: No, no, no. It's-- It's not a problem.

Um, I'm gonna let Thomas explain to you guys

how Liam and I got released.

>> Thomas: There was, uh, no accident that night.

Vinny orchestrated the whole thing.

And, uh, he shadowed Liam through an app and he stepped

in front of the car on purpose.

>> Katie: I--I don't understand.

What are you saying that-- >> Thomas: That Vinny's death

was a suicide.

>> Wyatt: What? Why?

>> Thomas: To clear a way for Hope and me.

>> Wyatt: Oh, my God.

>> Thomas: Yeah. And look, I-- Apparently, I got a bunch

of texts and videos that night, but I didn't get them

immediately because my phone-- I--I blocked Vinny's number

because of the whole paternity test debacle

and then I reset my phone and all the texts

and video came through.

>> Wyatt: Wow.

Uh, so, wait, so this-- this just happened?

>> Thomas: No.

I wanted to come tell you immediately.

>> Katie: Well, why-- why didn't you?

Why would you let them sit in jail for a moment longer

than what they had to?

>> Thomas: Justin wouldn't let me.

That's what I came here to tell you.

>> Katie: Oh.

>> Bill: Justin?

Well, what did he have to do with this?

>> Paris: I wonder if I'll ever get used

to how quickly things change around here.

I mean yesterday, Liam and Bill were going away

for a very long time.

And today, they're free.

>> Zende: Any idea what happened?

>> Paris: No.

But I'm sure we'll find out.

I'm happy for everyone, especially Hope.

I mean she was so distraught without Liam.

>> Zende: Yeah. And now her family's back together.

Uh, speaking of family, do you know when Zoe's coming

back from Europe?

>> Paris: If I had to guess, I'd say not any time soon.

>> Hope: Oh, so did anything change in the past five minutes?

>> Liam: No, nothing's changed in the last five minutes,

all right? I know. Like, I know.

>> Hope: You can't stop checking in on 'em, can't you?

>> Liam: No, I can't. I can't.

I can't stop staring at them.

I mean, being here right now, I--Uh, I don't--

I don't know how to describe it.

It's--It's literally a dream come true.

And then--and then I--I start to think about how

all this started with Vinny taking his own life

and I realize it's not-- That's not right.

It's not a dream.

It's--It's a nightmare.

>> Hope: No kidding.

>> Liam: I mean, uh, I suspect I haven't heard

the whole story yet.

>> Hope: Well, the real reason

you're not in jail is because of Thomas.

>> Bill: What about Justin?

>> Thomas: Right when I find out the truth about what happened

to Vinny, Justin shows up in my office.

He wants to ask me a bunch of questions

about the case.

I told him about how Vinny set Liam up.

And [ sighs ] I went to leave

and that's when Justin sucker punched me.

>> Bill: What?

>> Thomas: Yeah.

Knocked me out cold and brought me down

to a storage facility here at Spencer.

>> Katie: No, that-- that can't be true.

>> Wyatt: Why wouldn't Justin run at the chance

to get Dad and Liam out of jail?

>> Thomas: He wanted you to stay away as long as possible

so that he can make a play for Spencer.

>> Justin: Dollar Bill...

back on your throne.

♪♪♪

>> Zende: I can't believe

that Carter had an affair with granddad's wife.

Uh, do you know if he's okay?

>> Paris: Well, I checked with Brooke.

She said Eric's done.

Quinn's been banished from his house, the company,

his life.

>> Zende: Wow.

>> Paris: So you see why I can't be sure when Zoe

will be back.

And I can't help but wonder.

How do you feel about Zoe staying away?

>> Justin: Looking good, Dollar Bill.

>> Thomas: There's one reason you're not in jail right now.

>> Bill: Hold it.

Thomas made an, uh, unfathomable accusation

before you came in, that you held him prisoner?

That my-- my best friend

stabbed me in the back.

[ chuckles ] It can't be true.

So just tell me that this is not one of Thomas'

deceitful scheme, just-- just tell me

that he's full of it.

Tell me that and I will believe you, Justin.

>> Justin: I apologize for what I did.

>> Katie: Oh, my God.

>> Justin: What you don't know is that I also erased

all of the texts and video in Thomas' phone.

But I restored them before I turned the phone

into the police.

I came down there to get you.

But you already gone, Dollar Bill.

I can't apologize enough.

>> Thomas: I saw what you did.

But you're right.

You can't apologize enough.

>> Bill: Thomas.

You provided the evidence that got Liam and me out.

And for that I wanna say thank you

and tell you that we have a clean slate.

Um, I--I cannot express how it feels to be back

with, uh, both of you but I'm gonna need

a couple of minutes alone with Justin.

>> Wyatt: All right.

Look, I'll be at my office if you need me but, uh,

it's good to have you back, Dad.

>> Bill: Thank you, Wyatt.

>> Katie: I love you.

>> Bill: I love you.

>> Katie: Come see Will soon, okay?

>> Bill: Yeah.

♪♪♪ So, you were going to let me...

and my son rot in a cell

while you attempted to steal my company?

♪♪♪

>> Zende: Do you think that Zoe will stay in Paris?

>> Paris: It looks that way.

Unless-- I know something sparks

between you and Zoe.

And she was willing to risk her entire future with Carter

to see where it could lead.

>> Zende: Yeah, but I was never on board with that.

>> Paris: Now that the truth is out about Carter and Quinn,

I can't help but wonder does that change things?

I mean, you didn't find her attractive?

>> Zende: Of course I did.

I'm not blind.

And, yes, there might've been some spark.

But I wasn't prepared to throw everything away for it.

Still not.

♪♪♪ >> Liam: Justin kidnapped

Thomas, like, actually kidnapped him?

You're not messing with me?

>> Hope: No. I wouldn't.

Justin was making a power play for Spencer.

I guess working for your father all these years took its toll.

And look, I understand Justin being upset or--or resentful

toward Bill, but to betray him like that?

To keep you and your father in jail

while--while he's supposed to be defending your case?

>> Liam: That's what Thomas meant at the police station

when he said he had to go talk to my dad about Justin.

>> Hope: Yes.

>> Liam: Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I--I mean, Justin-- Hope, you--I don't--

I don't know if you know the history.

My dad loves Justin.

I mean he loves him.

I-- I don't know

how he's gonna react when he finds out

his best friend in the whole world betrayed him.

>> Bill: I need you to answer me, Justin.

You were prepared to let Liam and me rot in prison

after all of our years together, after everything

that I have done for you?

>> Justin: Everything...

that you done for me?

You mean the constant disrespect,

of always taking me for granted?

I gave you everything, man.

I dedicated decades to being loyal to you

and this company, being your fixer,

being your fall guy, fixing all of your messes.

Yeah. I stayed loyal.

All of it with hopes that one day it was gonna pay off,

just one day.

But that day never came.

So yeah, maybe I snapped.

>> Bill: Maybe you snapped?

What? And your thirst for power you--you conjure

some, kind of, alternate reality about our relationship

the way I have treated you?

There is no relationship personally

or professionally that matters more to me.

You're my best friend.

You are my confidant.

You are my wingman.

You are my blood brother.

And now would-- damn it.

And now you are my Judas!

You have betrayed me in the most heinous way!

>> Justin: What can I say?

I learned from the best.

>> Bill: Oh, come on!

>> Justin: You want me!

You want me!

I was at the edge.

Then I realized what I was doing was wrong.

I was gonna let Thomas go.

I wanted the truth to come out.

But he had already escaped and went to the police.

So here I am standing in front of you,

man to man.

Yeah, I got caught up, the desire for power and money,

just like you.

And I am hoping that you, with all of your flaws,

you can recognize the honest and earnest apology

that I am giving you.

And somehow, someway find a place in your heart

to forgive me.

>> Liam: I'll tell you.

When I was in that van, I was so scared...

that I was never gonna see your face again.

Never be able to touch you again,

never be able to...

kiss you again.

Being away...

taught me something.

It taught me that I have to treasure

every second of every minute I'm at home with you

and Beth and Douglas and I will.

I vow to love, honor, and cherish you

for the rest of my life.

♪♪♪ >> Bill: What is the name

of this company?

>> Justin: Spencer Public-- >> Bill: What?!

>> Justin: Spencer Publications.

>> Bill: That's right.

Spencer.

As in my father who founded it, as in me who built it into

the international media empire that it is today,

as in my sons who will inherit it.

Not you.

There was never any misunderstanding about that.

You are not blood.

What you are is my right hand.

My legal counsel and as such,

you have been revered, and respected,

and paid, oh, so handsomely.

>> Justin: My anger and my resentment

turned me into someone I didn't even recognize myself.

But I'm back, man.

Back to being me.

>> Bill: Back to being you?

I don't know you anymore!

So here's what I understand.

I understand that when I needed you most,

you stabbed me in the back, you plotted to

steal this from me.

After all of our years together, all those years

that I loved you like-- I loved you like my brother!

Not this.

Not this.

I will not forgive.

I will not forget.

You have betrayed me in the worst way

and you know better than anybody that no one betrays me!

You are dead to me.

I never wanna see your face again.

Out!
