♪♪ >> Liam: You get my concern,

right?

>> Steffy: Yeah, youre protective of our daughter,

just like I am.

But...

were talking about my mom.

>> Liam: I know.

I know that.

>> Steffy: She cherishes her granddaughter.

And now that shes back in L.A., its only natural shed want to

spend time with Kelly.

>> Liam: I-I get that.

I totally get that.

My problem is -- i-is with Taylor and Kelly being alone

together, like your mom filling in when Amelias not available.

I dont think thats wise, Steffy.

Do you -- do you believe that your mom is a stable person?

>> Hope: Taylor, I am truly sorry that you feel that way,

but its not how it is.

>> Taylor: Really, Hope?

Youre going to deny it?

That youre not living the life that was meant for Steffy?

Youre pregnant.

Youre married to Liam.

>> Hope: And, clearly, that is hard for you to accept.

But Steffy has.

And I wish you could, too.

>> Taylor: Steffy didnt have any choice but [Scoffs]

to accept it, just as I had to accept certain things that your

mother did to me and my family for many years.

Not that I didnt push back.

But Brooke was relentless.

And in many ways, so are you.

>> Hope: Again, I am sorry that you feel that way, but --

>> Taylor: Liam and Steffy would still be married, sharing a home

together, raising their daughter, if you hadnt

come back from Europe.

And I have to wonder if that wasnt some sort of agenda

on your part.

But one thing is for certain -- you took full advantage of

Bills interference in their marriage.

You used it to win Liam for yourself.

Didnt you, Hope?

>> Bill: [ Sighs ] [ Gunshot ]

[ Sighs ] [ Sighs ]

>> Eric: [ Sighs ] Well, the next best thing to

Thanksgiving is Thanksgiving leftovers.

>> Quinn: Mm-hmm.

>> Ridge: Youre absolutely right.

Pam and Charlie outdid themselves.

>> Eric: They donated a huge amount to a homeless charity.

>> Ridge: And you have all this left over?

How is that possible?

>> Quinn: Oh, because Pam wanted to make sure Eric had plenty of

warm meals for the rest of the week.

>> Eric: [ Chuckles ] >> Ridge: Okay.

I think thats very sweet.

>> Quinn: Really?

Even though we have a chef?

And, despite what she says, I can cook.

>> Eric: I know you can.

Youre a very good cook.

Look, the whole point is, we had a wonderful Forrester

Thanksgiving.

>> Ridge: Yeah. We did.

[ Sighs ] But for Steffy to see Liam and

Hope celebrating Thanksgiving and, uh, talking about expecting

their first child, I think that must have been

a little tough for her.

♪♪ >> Eric: I think you should be

very proud of Steffy, the way shes been dealing with

the situation.

>> Ridge: I am proud of her, Dad.

Her resilience and her tenacity.

But...

Shes a human being.

She thought she was gonna spend her life with Liam, and they

were gonna raise this beautiful kid under the same roof,

and it just all fell apart.

>> Quinn: Yeah. Because of Bill.

If he could have just, you know -- Ugh.

>> Eric: [ Clears throat ] >> Quinn: Oh, I am sorry.

I hate that man. I really do.

He has caused so many people so much pain.

>> Ridge: So...

what do you suggest we do?

>> Quinn: Im not sure theres anything we can do.

>> Liam: Steffy, like, my dad almost died.

Its not crazy that Im still concerned.

>> Steffy: I get that.

I get that.

My mom was in a very dark time.

But shes made a lot of progress, Liam.

Shes rehabilitating herself.

Shes in therapy.

This is Kelly.

My mother would never be a threat to her granddaughter.

>> Liam: Okay, I dont want -- [ Sighs ]

I dont want to argue that point.

I-Im just...

I just feel like we should be really careful where your mom is

concerned.

And its not just about Kelly, by the way.

Im worried about Brooke and Hope, too.

>> Hope: Taylor, you said you came here hoping to

hear me say that I support Liam spending time with Steffy and

Kelly, and will continue to do so after my baby is born.

And I assured you that I already do.

And I always will.

But for you to suggest that Liam and I are only together

because of his fathers interference, thats just --

>> Taylor: Bill injected himself into that marriage.

He stalked Steffy.

And when she was at her most vulnerable,

he took advantage of her.

And that turned out to be advantageous for you.

Surely you see that, Hope.

>> Hope: What I see is that Steffy and Liam made a

beautiful little girl together.

And Kelly will always connect them.

And that is something that I will always respect,

and I will never interfere with.

But the reality is, Steffy hasnt always played fair

in the past.

So if you expect me to apologize for what I have with Liam,

or to imply that I somehow engineered our life together,

I will not.

Because that is not how it happened.

Steffy made her choice.

And she accepted accountability for that.

And if you cant accept that, Im sorry.

But that is the truth, Taylor, whether you

want to hear it or not.

>> Eric: Quinns right.

We should steer clear of any further mention of Bill Spencer.

Now...

anybody for some pumpkin pie?

>> Quinn: No! Ugh.

>> Bill: Oh, really?

I dont have room for that.

You have room for that?

>> Eric: All right, all right.

I hear you.

Well, Im just trying to deflect this conversation...

>> Ridge: I know.

>> Eric: ...away from where its been.

>> Ridge: I know what youre trying to do.

And I will not go ballistic on Bill.

>> Eric: [ Sighs ] Okay.

>> Quinn: Um, we should get going if we want to be on time

to meet the suppliers.

You still want to join me, right?

>> Eric: Of course I do.

Any excuse I can have to spend time with my [Chuckles]

beautiful wife?

[ Quinn giggles ] Of course.

Mm.

>> Quinn: [ Laughs ] Come on.

All right.

>> Ridge: Oh, no, no, no.

I got it.

You two lovebirds go ahead, do your thing.

>> Eric: All right.

Thanks, Ridge.

>> Ridge: Welcome.

>> Eric: Look, as for Steffy, the holidays are upon us.

Well do everything we can to support her, whatever she needs.

And that goes for you, too.

This is our family.

This is what families do.

>> Ridge: Yeah.

Peace on Earth and all that.

>> Ridge: As long as Bill stays away from my wife and my

daughter, we wont have a problem.

[ Knock on door ] >> Steffy: Whatd you forget?

Bill.

>> Bill: Hi.

>> Steffy: I-I thought it might be Liam.

He just left.

>> Bill: May I come in?

>> Steffy: Yeah, sure.

If youre, uh, here to see your granddaughter, shes slee--

>> Bill: Oh, I always love to see my granddaughter.

But thats not what this is about.

>> Steffy: Is something wrong?

>> Bill: [ Sighs ] Im not sure.

You know your mother better than I do.

>> Steffy: Youre here about my mom?

>> Bill: She paid me an unexpected visit.

And, based on that experience, Im not quite so sure shes as

changed as she claims to be.

>> Taylor: No, Hope.

I dont accept it.

Because it defies what I know.

You were just waiting for Steffy and Liams marriage

to fall apart.

Yes, you were standing in the wings, waiting oh-so-innocently

to pick up the pieces if the worst came to be.

>> Hope: If you are saying that I was there for Liam when he

needed a friend, then -- >> Taylor: Only, you werent

just a friend.

Your marriage with him had fallen apart, and you had never

gotten over him.

Even being a continent away didnt change that.

>> Hope: So you think I should have stayed in Europe.

>> Taylor: No, I think you did exactly what your mother would

have done.

What your mother did to me countless times in my marriage

to Ridge.

Yes, you just did what was natural.

You were thinking only of yourself, your own needs,

your own desires.

>> Hope: That isnt true.

>> Taylor: Oh, boy.

The apple doesnt fall far from the tree.

[ Chuckles ] You Logan women, defending the

indefensible.

>> Hope: Are you accusing me of --

>> Taylor: Did I accuse you of anything?

No, I didnt.

What I did is, I said what Ive seen, and what Ive

experienced as a pattern.

A pattern of lies that led to my marriage

being destroyed to Ridge by Brooke.

And now my daughters marriage being destroyed with Liam

by you.

>> Hope: Taylor, I did not break up Steffy and Liams

marriage.

Bill went over to Steffy that night --

> Taylor: Thank you.

We all know what Bill did.

[ Sighs ] But you cant just put this

all on Bill.

You made yourself available to Liam, didnt you?

You took a page out of your mothers playbook and,

"[Gasps] Oh, no!

How did that happen?" I am so sick of you

fake Logans taking and taking from my family.

I have had to put up with it for years.

And now youre doing the same thing to Steffy!

Taking the family my granddaughter deserves

with her father!

How do you live with yourself?!

>> Liam: All right, thats enough, Taylor!

Stop it!

Now, I dont know what set this off, but you dont get to berate

my wife, you understand me?

Dont ever talk to her that way again.

>> Hope: Liam, its okay.

>> Liam: No, its -- its not okay.

Youre pregnant, and you dont need the stress right now.

A fact which a psychiatrist should know.

>> Taylor: As a mother trying to defend my daughter

and my granddaughter, youre going to fault me for that?

>> Liam: They dont need you defending them, Taylor.

Theyre not under attack.

But you know who is? Hope.

And she happens to be the mother of my child.

>> Taylor: Well, Steffy is the mother of your child, too.

>> Liam: I dont need you reminding me of that.

Im always gonna be there for Steffy and Kelly, and --

You know what?

[ Sighs ] I think its time you should go.

Ill talk you to the elevator.

>> Steffy: What, exactly, did my mother say?

>> Bill: Well, its not just what she said.

Its how she said it.

One might describe her as being wound a little tight.

Pleading with me to keep quiet about the shooting.

Apparently she feels that, since Im no longer pursuing you,

I may renege on my promise to you and to her.

Have Taylor arrested for shooting me in the back.

>> Steffy: What did you tell her?

>> Bill: I told her, in no uncertain terms, that I would

keep my word.

Not go back on my promise.

But that didnt keep her from going off on me.

Blaming me for Liam and Hope being together.

>> Bill: She was trying my patience, Steffy.

[ Door opens ] >> Liam: [ Sighs ]

>> Hope: I am sorry you had to hear that.

>> Liam: Im sorry you had to hear that.

Are you kidding me?

She was way, way out of line talking to you like that.

>> Hope: Yeah.

Well, I guess she thinks that, if I stayed in Europe, none of

this would have happened.

Not that its surprising that she feels that way, or that she

even still holds a grudge against my mom.

Its just...

seeing how worked up she got about it...

I dont -- I dont know.

I guess shes just holding in a lot.

>> Liam: Yeah, well, thats fine, but that doesnt

excuse her going off on you.

>> Hope: Yeah, well, I think she knows now, given how

intensely you came to my defense.

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] Listen, youre my wife,

and the mother of my child.

Its hard not to feel protective.

>> Hope: Why do I get the feeling that theres more to it

than that?

>> Liam: Maybe cause there is more to it than that.

>> Hope: Hey.

What is that supposed to mean?

>> Liam: [ Stammering ] >> Hope: Liam.

>> Liam: N-- its -- [ Sighs ] >> Hope: What do you know about

Taylor that I dont?

[ Knocking on door ] >> Ridge: Taylor.

>> Taylor: Ridge.

>> Ridge: Uh, you seem as surprised to see me as I am

to see you.

>> Taylor: Uh...

Yeah. I w-- I was expecting Eric.

>> Ridge: Yeah, hes -- Im -- Im just, uh, doing dishes.

Come on in. How are you?

>> Taylor: [ Sighs ] Honestly...

[ Tearfully ] Im grateful to see a happy face.

>> Taylor: Eric and Quinn, they had to go out?

>> Ridge: [ Sighs ] Yeah.

So Im afraid youre stuck with me.

So...

How have you been?

Have you -- have you talked to Thomas lately?

>> Taylor: Yeah, I have.

Havent you?

Dont you two talk?

>> Ridge: No, we talk.

We just, uh -- You know, I was hoping he would

come home for the holidays, and bring our grandson.

>> Taylor: Hmm. [ Sniffles ] Well, at least well have Kelly

here.

>> Ridge: Youve seen Kelly?

>> Taylor: Yes. [ Chuckles ] Oh, my gosh.

Isnt she beautiful?

>> Ridge: Yeah.

>> Taylor: Shes the most adorable thing.

Oh, and Im so proud of Steffy, everything shes doing for her

future and for her daughter.

Shes just amazing.

I mean, shes trying.

But, Ridge, you know it isnt fair.

Our daughters life, our granddaughters family...

It would be so different if it werent for Bill.

>> Steffy: Bill, Ill make sure my mom doesnt

bother you again.

>> Bill: I can handle Taylor.

Its just when she gets all sanctimonious on me,

repeatedly chastising me for the damage I inflicted on --

on you, your marriage, my granddaughters family.

How unfair it is.

Like I dont know that already.

The woman needs to move on, Steffy.

Yes, I-I made some mistakes, and then I made some bad decisions,

but I didnt shoot anybody in the back.

Taylor almost cost me my life.

>> Steffy: I know.

Again, I am so sorry.

>> Bill: I-I dont need you to apologize.

Youre not responsible for what your mother did.

But moving forward, I need to know that you can reign her in.

>> Steffy: Yeah, I-I will.

I just need to know that youre gonna be true to your word.

The only people who know about that night are you, me, Liam,

and my mom.

No one else can find out that my mother shot you.

>> Hope: Do you not want to tell me?

>> Liam: Its not that.

>> Hope: Cause were married, Liam.

You can tell me anything.

>> Liam: I-I know. Its just...

[ Groans ] Its kind of a...

delicate situation, is all.

>> Hope: What is?

>> Liam: You know, Taylor, and her emotional state.

>> Hope: Yeah.

Well, after what just happened, its clear that shes still at

war with my mom, and that has now spilled over to me,

and she is certainly not a fan of our marriage, so...

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Hope: Look [Clears throat] she thinks that

us being together would have never happened if it wasnt

for your father.

>> Liam: [ Sighs ] >> Hope: Hey.

Look.

What is it?

I can tell theres something on your mind.

And whatever it is...

Hey.

How long have we known each other?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

You know that you can talk to me about anything.

>> Liam: [ Sighs ] >> Hope: Liam.

>> Liam: A-all I can say is that [Scoffs] Taylor has no business

placing blame on my father after -- after what shes done.

>> Hope: What do you mean?

>> Liam: [ Stammers ] Not-- I mean -- I mean that

th-theres a reason Im protective of you, okay?

Taylor actually can be dangerous.

>> Hope: Dangerous? [ Chuckles ] Liam, I -- Look, I appreciate

the support, but I think you may be overreacting just a little.

>> Liam: I wish I were overreacting.

I wish I were.

But the fact is, Taylor has a history, and, when pushed,

she can go to extremes.

>> Hope: What kind of extremes?

>> Liam: [ Inhales ] [ Sighs ]

Okay.

Okay.

Um...

Remember when my dad was shot?

>> Hope: Of course.

>> Liam: Remember how there were, like, a million suspects

because, you know, everybody hates Bill Spencer?

Well, there was one person who had a real motive.

Someone who was pushed to the edge.

Someone who thought Steffy was being taken advantage of,

and who wanted to protect her daughter.

>> Hope: Wait. Liam...

Are you saying...?

>> Hope: Oh, my gosh. You are.

Youre saying that...

>> Liam: Yeah.

Yeah, thats, um...

That is what Im saying.

Steffys mom is the one who pulled the trigger.

The person who shot my father is Taylor.
