♪♪ >> Hope: You cant be serious.

Taylor shot your father?

>> Liam: Yes.

>> Hope: But thats insane.

>> Liam: Yeah, well, thats kind of my point.

Taylor is not always rational, to put it mildly.

>> Hope: Well, I mean, are you sure?

I mean, you even thought you shot your father.

>> Liam: I know, I know.

I was confused.

I had had multiple concussions, but...

>> Hope: Okay, no, I just -- Im sorry.

Its just really hard to take in.

>> Liam: Look, Taylor feels a certain way about your mom.

She feels a certain way about our relationship, and then I

come in here, and I see her laying into you, well, that

scares me.

>> Hope: So youre saying that Steffys mom picked up a gun and

shot your father.

>> Liam: I -- I wasnt even supposed to tell anyone, but,

you know, if Taylor really is a loose cannon, then, Hope, I feel

like thats information you should have.

>> Hope: Oh, my God.

>> Taylor: Steffy gets so exasperated with me.

>> Ridge: Why?

>> Taylor: Well, she thinks I should just let go of what

happened with Bill.

>> Ridge: Yeah, she did the same with me.

She said, "You got to let it go."

But how can we?

Thats our daughter, and that son-of-a-bitch took a blowtorch

to her life.

>> Taylor: Exactly!

Steffy and Liam, they would still be married if it werent

for Bill.

>> Ridge: I know.

But Im so proud of her.

She got knocked down, but she got up, kept going.

She took the reins and she did that for her family, for her

kid, for her work.

>> Taylor: Yeah.

Steffys a remarkable young woman.

>> Ridge: She is.

But, to be fair...

with a gene pool like this, how could she miss?

>> Steffy: Hi.

>> Brooke: Oh! Steffy, wait.

[ Sighs ] Im glad I ran into you.

>> Steffy: Whats going on?

>> Brooke: We need to talk.

About Hope and her baby.

>> Steffy: Is everything all right?

Did something happen?

♪♪ ♪♪

♪♪ >> Taylor: Steffys life

is changed forever.

And only because of Bill.

Liam turned to Hope.

And soon, theyll be having their baby, and Steffy loses

again.

[ Sighs ] I mean, I know that Liam spends

plenty of time with Kelly right now, but we both know what will

happen.

As soon as that baby is born, all of Liams focus and his

energy is going to be on his wife and their newborn, and

Steffy and Kelly, theyre going to be left all alone.

Im so tired of it.

Its just wrong.

My family loses out again.

[ Sighs ] >> Brooke: Hope will be

delivering her baby before we know it.

>> Steffy: Yeah, I know, shes really excited about it.

>> Brooke: And I just dont want you to spoil it for her.

>> Steffy: Excuse me?

>> Brooke: I want you to respect Hope and Liams family.

>> Steffy: Of course Ill respect them.

What are you getting at?

>> Brooke: Liam will be there for Kelly, as he should be, but

once Hope has this baby, Liam is going to have to focus all of

his attention on his wife and his new child.

>> Liam: Trust me, I know how difficult it is to come to terms

with this.

>> Hope: I should -- I keep thinking that it cant be true.

You are absolutely sure that Taylor is Bills shooter.

>> Liam: Positive.

>> Hope: Well, how -- Why -- I mean, what is she even doing

running around with a gun?

>> Liam: She wasnt.

My dad was shot with his own vintage gun, remember?

>> Hope: Well, so, what?

She broke into his house and found the gun and --

Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on, though.

How do you know this?

>> Liam: Steffy told me when I thought I was the shooter.

>> Hope: So youve known this whole time.

But does Bill know, too?

Why doesnt he go to the police?

Ah. Steffy convinced him not to.

>> Liam: I mean, the last thing shed ever want to see is her

mother in prison.

>> Hope: And, of course, Bill gave that to her because he was

in love with her at the time.

So, who else knows?

>> Liam: Nobody.

Its just my dad, Taylor, Steffy, me, and now you.

And, honestly, I -- I dont think I ever would have burdened

you with this if I didnt come in here and see her in your

face, and knowing what I now know shes capable of, I just --

You just had to know.

>> Hope: Wow.

So Taylor actually shot your father.

>> Ridge: Its been humbling, watching Steffy grow into this

person, this amazing mother to Kelly.

>> Taylor: I know.

I just want to see Kelly happy.

I want everything for her, especially to have her father

under the same roof.

>> Ridge: Liams not gonna abandon her.

>> Taylor: I hope not.

>> Ridge: He wont.

Even after everything hes done, hes -- hes a good guy.

And he grew up without a father, and hes not gonna put Kelly

through that.

>> Taylor: Well, not intentionally, but I think that

hes going to be spread a little too thin when the new baby

arrives...

the one thats living in the house with him there, with Hope.

>> Ridge: Yeah, well, then -- then well have to pick up the

slack.

>> Taylor: Yes.

>> Ridge: Thats what grandparents do, right?

>> Taylor: Of course we will.

>> Ridge: Yeah.

>> Taylor: We will, but it wont be the same.

I just get so mad when I think about it.

All of the flattery and manipulation...

Bill inserted himself between Steffy and Liam.

Thats what created the opening for Hope!

And, boy, did she crawl right in.

She certainly is her mothers daughter.

>> Ridge: Hey, hey, were not doing that.

>> Taylor: No, Im -- Im not trying to say anything bad.

What Im saying...

The whole time Hope was positioning herself to be the

place that Liam landed.

>> Ridge: [ Sighs ] Shes not my favorite, either,

but I dont think she planned any of this, and Hope and

Liam...

They have a history, and I think he just landed in a place that

seemed natural to him, thats all.

>> Taylor: At our daughters expense.

>> Ridge: I know.

I hate Spencer. I hate him.

Every breath I take just -- [ Sighs ] What he did to Steffy

to Katie, to Brooke, to his own sons...

And, trust me, Im not the person that wants someone else

dead, but...

Whoever shot him, I...

I just think our lives would be a lot simpler if Spencer werent

around.

>> Hope: Ive known Taylor my whole life, and, sure, yes,

okay, she can get emotional or a little over-protective, but to

shoot someone?

>> Liam: Yeah, well, I guess Taylor was kind of a mess when

she came back.

I mean, she had heard about my dad and what he did to Steffy,

and she thought he was taking advantage of her, and...

I guess it just sent her clean over the edge.

>> Hope: Had she been drinking?

>> Liam: I dont know.

My understanding is that she just went there to confront him,

but...

You know, he was standing with his back to her, and the gun

was right there, and a few seconds later, she just --

>> Hope: Its unbelievable.

>> Steffy: I dont understand where this is coming from.

I have been nothing but respectful of Liam and his new

family with Hope.

Ive gone out of my way to be supportive of them.

>> Brooke: Im just making sure that continues.

>> Steffy: Why wouldnt it?

>> Brooke: When the babys born, you might feel a little bit

jealous.

You might feel like youre in competition with Hope for Liams

time.

And that wont be good for anybody, especially for the

children.

/>> Steffy: Are you projecting your history with my mom onto

me?

>> Brooke: Dont be ridiculous.

>> Steffy: Im just saying.

Im not my mom, and Hopes not you.

We respect the fact that Liam has children with both of us.

Well work it out without your "well-meaning" interference.

But thanks for the concern.

>> Brooke: And Im just saying that Hope is happy now, and

shes living the life that she should have lived a long time

ago.

And Im not gonna let anybody destroy that.

So, please, I am asking you -- Just give Liam and Hope a little

space.

>> Steffy: I am giving space.

>> Taylor: Are you kidding me right now?

You cant dictate how much time Liam spends with Steffy and

Kelly.

In case youve forgotten, they were his family first.

♪♪ >> Steffy: Mom, its okay.

>> Taylor: It most certainly is not.

How dare Brooke try to restrict Liams time with you and Kelly.

>> Steffy: Mom, I can handle this.

>> Taylor: Honey, you shouldnt have to handle, especially when

Brooke is sticking her nose where it doesnt belong.

>> Brooke: I have every right to protect my daughter and my

granddaughters best interests.

>> Taylor: Then maybe you should be having this conversation with

Liam.

>> Brooke: Well, maybe I will.

>> Steffy: Okay, look, Brooke, for the record, I am the reason

Hope is having her baby with Liam by her side.

I let him go.

The only thing Ive been doing is encouraging us to be a family

for the sake of our children.

Now, Im late.

I got to go to my meeting.

Mom, come meet me at the house.

Well chat there.

>> Brooke: I need a word with your mom before she leaves.

>> Steffy: Why is that necessary?

>> Taylor: Im happy to have a moment with Brooke.

Its all right, go ahead.

>> Hope: My mind is still reeling.

Bill could have been paralyzed, he could have been killed.

>> Liam: This is my point.

Taylor shot my dad on impulse.

She didnt think it through.

Thats why Im worried.

>> Hope: Well, Im glad that you told me.

I get why you were so concerned now.

>> Liam: Well, yeah, especially if I come in here and I see her

in your face.

Like, I had to tell you.

>> Hope: Thank you.

I love you so much.

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Hope: Gosh, if I am this freaked out about Taylor

shooting Bill, I can only imagine Steffys reaction.

>> Liam: Oh, yeah, she was horrified, I mean, A, because

her mom tried to kill someone, but, B, the prospect of Taylor

going to jail.

>> Hope: I mean, look, I get its natural for her to want to

be around right now and help Steffy out with Kelly and spend

time with her grandchild, but, Liam, are we sure that thats

wise?

Look, I am sure she hasnt gotten over her animosity

towards Bill.

She has deep-seeded issues with my mom, and she is certainly not

fond of me at the moment.

I mean, if Taylor is this unstable...

I mean, who knows what could set her off again?

>> Brooke: Im surprised to see you, Taylor.

>> Taylor: Really?

My daughter lives here, my granddaughter lives here.

>> Brooke: Didnt seem like a priority for you up until now.

>> Taylor: [ Chuckles ] You dont know anything at all

about my priorities.

But you are right about one thing.

I was away way too long.

That was especially evident when I walked in and saw you bullying

my daughter.

>> Brooke: Bullying?

[ Laughs ] I was merely just asking --

>> Taylor: I heard you, Brooke.

Demanding that Steffy release Liam from his fatherly

obligations to Kelly?

>> Brooke: Is that what you think you heard?

>> Taylor: Oh, well, if Im wrong, maybe you can set me

straight.

>> Brooke: Okay.

Hope and Liam are married, and their babys gonna be here

before you know it.

And theyre finally living the life that they should have lived

a long time ago, and nobody should interfere with that.

>> Taylor: Kelly is already here, Steffys baby with Liam.

You cant just wish her away.

>> Brooke: Im not wishing her away.

Liam should spend time with Kelly.

>> Taylor: As long as it doesnt step on the time that you think

he should be spend with Hope and her baby, which Im sure would

be 24 hours a day.

You never change, Brooke.

Yes, here you are, just passing the torch on to your daughter.

>> Brooke: I dont know what youre getting at, Taylor.

>> Taylor: Oh, what Im saying is that you and Hope think that

you are so much better than Steffy and me and that all of

your needs are much more important.

Yes, all the love and attention must be paid to the privileged

blondes in the room while the crumbs go to the dark-haired

peasants.

Well, guess what?

That history is not repeating itself with my daughter.

Were not taking your crumbs.

>> Liam: So your meeting got cancelled?

>> Steffy: Uh, rescheduled.

>> Liam: All right, all right.

Well, hows my little angel?

>> Steffy: From the last time you saw her?

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Steffy: Even cuter.

>> Liam: Even cuter?

>> Steffy: Mm-hmm.

>> Liam: I guess its true what they say, "Blink and you miss

it."

>> Steffy: [ Sighs ] A lesson your father had to learn.

I hope you dont have to.

>> Liam: Where is that coming from?

>> Steffy: Well, you have a family on the way.

A child with Hope.

>> Liam: That doesnt mean Im gonna neglect you and Kelly.

>> Steffy: I knew youd say that.

I just needed to hear it.

>> Liam: Did I miss something?

What -- >> Steffy: No, its fine.

Its just -- Its just Brooke.

She just got in my head.

Whatever. Im over it.

>> Liam: Uh, okay.

So Ill just -- Im gonna drop it, then.

>> Steffy: Okay.

Ill let you know if we have to revisit it.

>> Liam: Yeah.

Uh, hey, is your mom moving back to L.A. permanently?

>> Steffy: Yeah, I think so.

Itll be all right.

>> Liam: I -- Mm, Im not so sure, Steffy.

I -- I just walked in on her with Hope, and, uh, she was --

she was upset.

She was really upset.

>> Steffy: About what?

>> Liam: Just the past, I guess, repeating itself.

I mean, she thinks that -- that Brooke deprived you and Thomas

and Phoebe and her of the family life you deserve, and now shes

saying that Hope is doing the same thing with you and Kelly.

>> Steffy: Oh, no...

>> Liam: Yeah.

I mean, I actually had to escort her out.

>> Steffy: Really?

>> Liam: Its not -- >> Steffy: No, Im sorry. I am.

>> Liam: No, its not you.

Im not blaming you for your mom, but -- but, you know,

seeing her like that, it did raise a red flag, and...

Um, listen, I had no choice.

I had to tell Hope about your mom shooting my dad.

>> Steffy: What?!

>> Taylor: Doesnt it make you sick, seeing all this painful

history playing out all over again, now at the expense of my

daughter and my granddaughter?

>> Brooke: Hope and Liam are married.

Theyre starting a family.

>> Taylor: It isnt that simple, Brooke.

Liam was married to Steffy.

They didnt break up because they stopped loving each other.

They broke up because of Bills manipulation.

>> Brooke: Everybody blames Bill for the Steffy and Liam breakup,

but what if their bond was just stronger?

Then Bill wouldnt have been so effective, would he?

>> Taylor: Oh, my God, are you defending that man?

>> Brooke: Im just saying, its easy to point fingers outside

that marriage instead of looking at what was going on inside that

marriage, but, you know what, it doesnt matter.

Thats all water under the bridge because Hope and Liam,

theyre married now, and theyre gonna have a baby very soon,

and all of Liams focus is going to have to be on Hope and their

new baby.

So if Steffy could just realize that and give them --

>> Taylor: And step aside gracefully so your daughter can

have the sun and the moon.

How did you get so entitled, Brooke?

Were you born that way, despite your humble beginnings, or did

you work at it once you met the Forresters?

You are such a liar.

You destroyed and decimated my family.

>> Brooke: Just get over it, Taylor.

>> Taylor: Get over it?

Get over it?!

Are you kidding me?

You have destroyed every chance of happiness I have ever had at

my life!

You stole my childrens father, not once, but every single time

Ridge came back to me.

And now youre trying to sideline my daughter and her

child.

So Hope can reign supreme!

Oh, I despise you, Brooke!

I hate you!

You are a horrible person!

There is no one I despise more in this world!

>> Liam: The person who shot my father is Taylor.

>> Hope: Back off, Taylor!

Whatever you crimes you said she committed, youre not that

innocent, either.

And you know it.
