>> Steffy: I'm so happy Liam and--and Bill are finally

out of jail.

>> Ridge: We have your brother to thank for that.

>> Steffy: I can't even imagine what Vinny must've been

going through.

Dying by suicide to set Liam up.

>> Brooke: All so you could be with Hope.

>> Thomas: Yeah.

I--I had no idea what he was going through.

Obviously he was struggling a lot more than I realized.

The good news is that the truth is finally out.

>> Brooke: Liam is very grateful.

>> Ridge: And we're all grateful to have you back

safe and sound.

>> Steffy: I can't believe Justin held you captive.

>> Thomas: Yeah.

It kind of feels like a bad dream.

But what's important is that nothing terrible happened

to me and, uh, Liam is back with his family.

So...

>> Ridge: And all of this because Spencer once again

made a bad decision.

He started this whole chain of events.

>> Katie: Yeah.

And that's the school play.

He had to dress up in the cutest--Hi.

>> Wyatt: Looking good, Dad.

I was starting to get used to you in that jumpsuit.

>> Bill: It was a good color on me, wasn't it?

>> Wyatt: The contrast, your eyes--

>> Katie: I think we're all glad that you are out

of that place.

I know that Will is really happy to have you home.

>> Bill: I can't get enough of that kid.

I missed him so much.

>> Wyatt: Hey, what the-- >> Bill: Missed you too, Wyatt.

>> Wyatt: Hmm.

>> Bill: I did, really.

It's just that, you know, Will is the youngest,

it was hard to be away from him and his beautiful mommy.

>> Katie: Hmm.

>> Wyatt: Well you're officially a free man now.

>> Bill: Yeah.

Well, if it were up to Justin, I'd be rotting away

in a prison somewhere.

>> Katie: I just can't believe he would betray you like this.

>> Bill: My best friend, so-called best friend.

Hard to believe that Justin was not the man

I thought he was.

>> Wyatt: Look, for once, Thomas was trying to do

the right thing, instead he gets knocked out

and stuffed in a cage?

>> Bill: Yeah. About that, I really never did give him

any credit.

>> Wyatt: Come on.

You never liked Thomas.

>> Bill: Didn't see you shaking your pom-pom's like

his number one cheerleader.

>> Katie: Well, he made himself awfully difficult to like there

for a while.

He went through a lot of challenges and made some

really bad decisions.

But I have to give him credit for working hard

and putting himself on the right path.

>> Bill: Thomas is the reason I'm back ruling my kingdom

and Liam's having breakfast with his children.

I guess I owe him a debt of gratitude.

>> Ridge: This is all Spencer's fault.

Why wouldn't he just call the paramedics

like a normal person?

Hitting Vinny was an accident but he had to go on create

this whole mess.

>> Thomas: Maybe not the whole mess.

I mean, how could Bill know that Justin would make a play

for Spencer's publications in the midst of everything?

>> Brooke: Justin certainly needs to be held accountable

for what he did.

>> Ridge: I mean, well, he'll be arrested soon enough

and be out of our lives for good.

>> Brooke: Just like Quinn.

Eric's finally gotten rid of her.

>> Steffy: Yeah, something else to celebrate.

>> Thomas: I feel bad for Carter though.

>> Ridge: Don't.

>> Thomas: Why?

>> Ridge: Dad agreed to keep him here.

>> Steffy: Really?

>> Ridge: Come on, at the end of the day,

we know that Carter's a good guy.

>> Brooke: Which makes me wonder how he could allow himself

to get swept up in Quinn?

>> Ridge: Whatever it was, Dad decided to look past it

and keep Carter here, as long as he stays away

from Quinn.

>> Carter: What are you doing here?

>> Quinn: I had to see you, Carter.

Can I come in, please?

Impeccable timing on my part.

Impeccable everything you got going on.

>> Carter: Yeah.

You shouldn't be here.

[ laughs ] ♪♪♪

>> Ridge: We're giving Carter another chance.

And I agree that Carter got caught up in something

or someone and he regrets it deeply.

>> Thomas: Yeah.

I just thought that, well, once I found out that Carter

had slept with Quinn, he would definitely be out.

>> Ridge: Why?

It was wrong, it was a mistake,

unethical, I've said it once,

I've said it a hundred times, you don't sleep

with the boss' wife.

>> Thomas: It's not just that though.

I mean, he's your friend and he's supposedly

Granddad's friend.

And he also runs the operation part of this company.

>> Ridge: You don't have to worry about that.

That's-- Forester Creations'

gonna be fine, I have no doubt about.

>> Thomas: Uh, I mean, I agree, I still think

he's the best guy for the job.

And, you know, kudos to Granddad for--

for rising above everything.

If I was Carter, I would be pretty shocked

that I get to stick around.

>> Ridge: Yeah.

He came over the house and we--we talked for a while

and I think he probably thought that he wasn't gonna market

Forester anymore.

>> Brooke: Well, I'm sure he's very thankful.

But, I mean, he's an exceptional guy.

He's gotta be embarrassed by what happened.

>> Ridge: So he was and I'm convinced

this is not gonna make his highlight real,

but he promised us he would never let us down again.

>> Brooke: Good.

>> Steffy: Well, I'm glad it's working out.

Carter deserves the opportunity to redeem himself.

>> Ridge: Yes, he does and he will.

>> Quinn: I know we can't be seeing together.

>> Carter: Nope.

>> Quinn: Oh, and I know that I have disrupted your life.

>> Carter: Yeah.

I'm equally to blame.

>> Quinn: Oh, no, no, no, I-- I--I messed up

so much this time.

I mean, Eric gave me chance after chance and I--

I blew it.

I--I let him down so many times that it's over.

>> Carter: I don't know what to say.

>> Quinn: I don't know what to say either

at this point.

That's kind of why I'm here.

I mean, obviously you know Eric and I have started

divorce proceedings.

So I thought maybe I could get some legal advice

from one of the most gifted attorneys I know.

>> Carter: [ laughs ] Um, uh, I can't be, uh,

discussing your divorce with you, Quinn.

>> Quinn: Why?

Oh, come on, you're the only person I trust.

>> Carter: I can't be your lawyer, Quinn.

>> Quinn: Why not?

>> Carter: Because I'm representing Eric.

>> Bill: I have always counted on Justin's loyalty.

>> Katie: And you must be incredibly disappointed.

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

You--You guys have been through hell of a lot over the years.

>> Bill: Decades, Wyatt, decades.

I put all my faith in Justin.

We--We had this tremendous bond that--

At least I thought we did.

And reality is carrying around all this--this resentment,

what, he--He's so miserable that he tries to steal

my company?

I mean, never--never once-- never once did I question

his allegiance.

And never once with the thought even crossed my mind

that he was capable of something like this.

>> Wyatt: That came as a shock to all of us.

>> Katie: I know how close the two of you are.

>> Bill: That two-faced traitor is dead to me.

>> Ridge: Hey.

I'm worried about you.

You okay?

>> Thomas: Yeah.

I think I'm just still in a state of shock.

Yeah.

Just about Justin and what happened there

but more about Vinny.

>> Ridge: It's tragic.

>> Thomas: I just can't believe my oldest and best friend

died by suicide.

I--I--I know that he was distraught,

thinking he might go to prison for a long time,

he thought there was no way out.

But, like, I mean, uh, there are places you can go to,

there's--there's-- there's people

you can call for help.

And maybe if I hadn't blocked him on my phone,

then Vinny could've called me, I could've--

>> Ridge: Please don't do that.

>> Thomas: --stopped him.

>> Ridge: He talked to you, he confided in you,

you would've been there to support him.

>> Thomas: Absolutely.

I just wish I had been there to support him.

>> Ridge: I know.

>> Thomas: Justin?

>> Justin: Before you call the police, hear me out.

Be glad you did.

♪♪♪

>> Quinn: You're representing Eric?

>> Carter: Yes.

>> Quinn: I thought he would be furious,

he'd wanna have nothing to do with you.

>> Carter: Me too.

I was even writing my resignation letter

to spare Eric and Ridge the trouble of firing me.

>> Quinn: So what happened?

>> Carter: Remember that last time we saw each other,

Eric called me, asked me to come to the house?

>> Quinn: Yeah.

Yeah, that's exactly when I thought

he was gonna fire you.

>> Carter: Yeah, same here.

But that's not how it went down.

>> Quinn: So you weren't let go.

>> Carter: No.

I'm still COO and lead counselor of Forester Creations.

>> Quinn: Which explains why you're representing Eric

in the divorce.

>> Carter: Yeah.

>> Quinn: Well, I am thrilled for you.

>> Carter: You are?

>> Quinn: Yeah.

Of course I am.

Well, come on, Eric has made it clear

that he is finished with me.

But you?

Carter, you still have so much to offer.

>> Wyatt: Yeah, that's fine.

Let me get back to you.

>> Katie: You and Justin have been friends

for a long time.

And he's been your constant ally in work and in life.

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

Look, we're gonna have a hell of a hard time

trying to fill his shoes.

Nobody understood the intricacies

of Spencer Publications like Justin did.

>> Bill: He wasn't just trying to take the company

from me, Wyatt.

He was trying to take it from you and your brothers.

>> Wyatt: Oh, I know that.

I'm not trying to excuse what he did at all.

>> Katie: It--It's just so out of character.

And locking Thomas in that cage and thinking he--

That he could get away with this crazy plan.

>> Wyatt: Yeah, Justin was delusional.

He clearly--He--He lost it.

>> Katie: Listen, I'm not trying to diminish

the seriousness of what he did but for your sake

and the sake of your relationship,

are you sure that it's completely unforgivable?

>> Bill: I'm sure, Katie.

No way.

And it's not just about his pathetic coup attempt,

it's about respect, it's about brotherhood,

I treated that guy like family and he turns on me?

No.

I will never forgive what he did.

Betraying me.

>> Ridge: You've got a lot of nerve showing up here.

>> Justin: I only need a few minutes of your time.

>> Ridge: Uh, you think you can throw me

out of the helicopter and kidnap my son?

Get out.

>> Justin: Who are you calling, Ridge?

>> Ridge: Who do you think I'm calling?

I'm gonna call the police.

>> Justin: You don't wanna do that.

I can understand why you hate me.

I could imagine you're not too fond of me

at the moment either.

But I came here to make a deal with you.

>> Thomas: A deal.

>> Justin: One you won't want to refuse.

>> Bill: I'm locked up

in some jail cell and Justin is here

throwing himself a pity party, what a loser.

>> Wyatt: Yeah, if Justin was so unhappy,

why not say something?

Uh, you think he'd communicate that.

>> Bill: Yes, Wyatt, you think.

I'm stuck behind bars, counting on him

to run things here, trusting him

to get Liam and me out of jail.

And instead he is sitting here behind my desk,

in my chair, plotting some takeover?

>> Wyatt: That's what's so messed up about this.

I mean, he had the evidence to exonerate you and Liam,

instead he tries to bury it?

>> Bill: Yeah, we--We'd still be rotting behind bars

if it was up to him.

>> Katie: It's just so upsetting thinking

what was at stake.

I mean, can you imagine Will and Liam's children

growing up without their fathers?

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

But, I mean, in the end, Justin did have

a change of heart.

I mean, I'll give him that.

>> Bill: How about you give him nothing?

He didn't have a change of heart, Wyatt.

The walls were closing in, that's why he came forward.

He had no choice.

So don't you have one ounce of sympathy

for that freaking phony.

>> Katie: I don't think either one of us--

>> Bill: There is no justification

for what he did, for leaving Liam and me

in that jail cell.

So to answer your question, Katie, no.

No, I will not have one ounce of forgiveness

for what Justin did.

Not that it matters, Ridge will make him pay

for what he did to Thomas.

>> Justin: I see I have your attention.

>> Ridge: What you have is two minutes.

>> Justin: Well, I figured I'll be facing

some serious charges but I don't plan

on spending one night in jail.

>> Thomas: How is it you possibly believe

that we would not press charges?

>> Justin: Because what I have to offer is a lot more valuable

than having me arrested.

>> Ridge: What is it?

>> Justin: My loyalty.

>> Thomas: Your loyalty?

>> Justin: You don't press charges,

I owe you big time.

Dollar Bill Spencer was very jealous of you, Ridge,

always has been, that's no secret.

And you hate Dollar Bill more than anyone else

in the world, that's no secret either.

You give me my freedom, give you something in return,

something extremely lucrative.

No one knows Dollar Bill Spencer

like I do, right?

The good, the bad, all the dirt.

I'm ready to spill the tea.

So like I said, do this for me,

I'll be loyal to you for life.

>> Carter: And I'm still shocked but it's true.

Eric's willing to let me have a second chance.

>> Quinn: That's incredible.

>> Carter: He's obviously still upset, you know,

it's gonna take some time to earn back his trust.

But Ridge played my case for me.

He--He had my back.

>> Quinn: Like I said, I'm thrilled for you.

Carter, I never wanted you to lose everything

because of your involvement with me.

But I have to admit, I am a little sad that the man

I've gotten so attached to is gonna be opposing me

in my divorce.

But I am happy that both of our lives

didn't have to blow up completely over all of this.

I'm devastated that I hurt Eric.

He's a wonderful man.

But what ignited between the two of us,

that was a real connection.

I understand what's going on here.

Eric is giving you a second chance.

And that means that we can't see

each other anymore.

That's what you're trying to tell me, isn't it, Carter?

This is the last time we can be alone together.
