Original subtitles

>> Flo: Um, Im sorry.

I didnt mean to freak you out or anything.

I just -- >> Hope: No, no. Its okay.

I was just leaving.

>> Flo: I just -- I, uh...

I overheard what -- what you were saying about your baby.

And, um...

I am really sorry.

>> Hope: I have to go.

>> Flo: Wait. Hope -- Hope, I just, um...

I-I need to talk to you.

I have to tell you something.

>> Steffy: My sweet girl.

>> Ridge: She is cute.

>> Steffy: Yes, she is.

>> Ridge: Everything exactly the way its supposed to be.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

Feels like Phoebe was always meant to be part of this family.

I may not have given birth to her, but I adore her just the

same.

>> Ridge: We can all see how much you love that little girl.

>> Liam: Okay, so this is my first day meeting Phoebe.

>> Wyatt: Oh! [ Chuckles ] She was so tiny!

>> Liam: Scroll -- scroll to the right a little bit and youll

see, uh, my first beach day with Kelly and Phoebe.

>> Wyatt: Oh. Oh, my God.

Okay, youre gonna have two little surfer girls on your

hands before you know it.

>> Liam: I know.

Well, Kelly -- Kelly in particular, shes already

inherited our -- our fondness for water.

She was in the bath the other day just, like, flopping around

for like an hour.

Totally content.

>> Wyatt: You -- See?

You love spending time with her.

>> Liam: Yeah, I do.

I mean, of course I do.

I want to spend as much time with Kelly as possible.

But even Phoebe, if Im thinking about it, I...

I-I know Im not technically related to her, but I --

I would like to be a kind of father figure for her, too.

♪♪ >> Wyatt: Your connection to

Phoebe makes total sense.

Shes Kellys sister.

She doesnt have a father.

So of course youre gonna feel bonded to her.

>> Liam: Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Its -- its weird.

It just kind of came naturally.

Like, the -- the moment I met Phoebe, I...

I knew I wanted to be in her life.

>> Wyatt: Thats really cool, man.

I mean, kids need all the attention in the world,

you know?

Which is why you can count on me to be their "funcle."

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, th-- Wh-what did you say? "Funcle"?

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

Yeah. Fun uncle.

>> Liam: [ Laughing ] >> Wyatt: No, thats a thing.

No, and I am totally ready, okay?

When -- when Kelly and Phoebe, when theyre old enough...

>> Liam: Yeah?

>> Wyatt: ...Im gonna take them to the ice-cream shop as many

times as they want.

>> Liam: Yeah?

>> Wyatt: Uncle -- Funcle Wyatt, here,

is gonna make it happen.

>> Liam: You -- you -- You just want to spoil them.

Thats what this is.

Thats all this is.

>> Wyatt: I am gonna spoil them so much.

You are totally smitten by them, too.

>> Liam: Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Which is why Hope was pushing me to be with Steffy.

>> Wyatt: Right.

>> Liam: I would never judge Phoebes birth mom.

You know, I-Im grateful that she put her up for adoption,

but...

I just dont get it.

I mean, I cant imagine having a daughter out there in the world

that isnt in my life.

>> Ridge: Shes so comfortable with you.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

This sweet little munchkin is all mine.

And this sweet little munchkin is ready for bed.

>> Ridge: Sure looks like it.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

And the moment I put her down, Kellys gonna be wide awake.

>> Ridge: You know, these guys, they do it on purpose.

You and your sister did the same thing.

>> Steffy: Yeah, Im starting to think that youre right.

>> Ridge: Go do it. Bye.

>> Steffy: Night. Good night.

>> Ridge: Good night, Phoebe.

>> Steffy: Mm.

>> Ridge: You know what, I-I wish I could meet the -- the

birth mother.

Just thank her for bringing her into our family.

>> Flo: I hate what youve been through, Hope.

I-I cant even imagine how you must be feeling.

>> Hope: Thank you.

A lot of people have been coming up to me, expressing their

condolences -- >> Flo: Im not just anybody.

I know about you and your situation.

I know about how you lost your baby.

There -- theres something that you dont know about me.

>> Zoe: Flo!

What are you doing?

>> Ridge: My offer stands.

You need a babysitter, Im the guy.

>> Steffy: Thanks. Thats sweet.

>> Ridge: Oh, my God.

You dont think I can do it.

How do -- I-I had you, and I had your

sister on my chest, I had your brother crawling up my back.

I did it.

>> Steffy: Oh, I know.

I know. I-I saw the pictures.

It looked like a circus.

>> Ridge: It was a circus.

>> Steffy: Mom said you were just trying to show off.

[ Laughs ] >> Ridge: I dont -- What?

No, I was trying to sh-show off my kids, the same way I want to

show off my grandkids.

>> Steffy: Okay, okay.

Ill bring the girls to the office, and you can parade them

around the building.

>> Ridge: Good.

Or outside the building.

We can go do something else.

Just know that I-I had three kids at the same time,

so I can do this.

>> Steffy: I know you can.

>> Ridge: Mm?

>> Steffy: I-I know you can.

>> Ridge: Okay.

>> Steffy: And I appreciate your support.

Of course we want you around.

But you dont have to worry about me, Dad.

Im fine.

I have Amelia, I have -- I have Mom when shes in town,

and...

You know, despite what happened to Beth...

Liams very present in his daughters life.

And in Phoebes, too.

>> Wyatt: The girls are lucky to have you.

You know that?

>> Liam: Well, I want to be there for them.

>> Wyatt: Hope wants you to be there for them, too.

>> Liam: Yeah, but shes grieving, and she doesnt know

what shes saying right now.

>> Wyatt: She wants you to go be with them, Liam.

She -- she wants you to make a life with Steffy.

>> Liam: I know, because Hope believes that shes keeping me

from giving them this perfect family.

>> Wyatt: Theres no such thing as a perfect family.

>> Liam: Exactly.

>> Wyatt: You -- Okay.

You and I were both raised by single mothers, and we turned

out okay.

>> Liam: Yeah.

I mean, Hope wants Kelly -- and Phoebe -- to have what she

didnt have growing up, which is -- which is a mother and a

father who are committed to each other who are living together

under one roof.

>> Wyatt: Right, and theres nothing wrong with that.

Except that you live here, and youre married to Hope,

not Steffy.

>> Liam: and Id like to keep it that way.

>> Wyatt: Is that what you really want?

>> Liam: Wyatt!

>> Wyatt: I know youd never turn your back on her,

especially with everything shes going through, but --

>> Liam: I am not giving up on Hope or our marriage.

>> Hope: You know each other?

>> Zoe: [American accent] Well, Flo works here.

We actually met through Danny.

>> Hope: What happened to your accent?

>> Zoe: [ Scoffs ] Uh, its just this bet Xander

and I are doing.

>> Hope: Oh.

>> Zoe: Its nothing.

But, uh, hey, I-I think Danny said he was looking for you.

You should go find him.

>> Hope: Oh, wait.

Actually, she had something she needed to tell me.

>> Zoe: Well, I-Im sure it can wait.

Cant it, Flo?

>> Hope: No, it, um...

It sounded important, so...

What is it?

>> Zoe: Youre right.

Its, uh, probably time...

that you know the truth, Hope.

>> Hope: That I know the truth about what?

>> Zoe: Look, its not exactly my place to say anything,

but I know that this is still really hard for Flo to talk

about, especially considering the role she played in the

situation.

>> Hope: What are you talking about?

>> Zoe: [ Sighs ] Hope, what Im about to say will

come as a shock to you, okay, but its something you should

have found out about a while ago.

It has to do with the baby Steffy adopted.

>> Hope: With Phoebe.

>> Zoe: Yes.

>> Hope: What about her?

>> Zoe: I know who Phoebes biological mother is.

>> Hope: You do?

>> Zoe: Yes.

>> Hope: Well, who is she?

>> Ridge: There we go.

>> Steffy: Im impressed.

>> Ridge: Youre impressed that I can fold a onesie?

This -- I-I deal with clothing for a living.

>> Steffy: Oh, maybe Ill hire you.

Although Liam is pretty good at folding baby clothes.

Hes got a good system.

>> Ridge: Hes got a system?

Well, Im just glad hes hanging out.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

Yeah, when he can.

>> Ridge: But hes not leaving Hope to move in here?

>> Steffy: No, no.

I mean, Hope said thats what she wanted, but obviously shes

having a really hard time.

>> Ridge: And youre okay with everything?

>> Steffy: Yeah. Yeah.

Liam is really committed to the girls.

>> Ridge: Good. Im just...

glad hes stepping up.

>> Steffy: Yeah. Hes amazing.

The girls are lucky to have him as a father.

I mean...Kelly.

Kelly is really lucky to have him as a father.

Hes just been so amazing with Phoebe, sometimes I have to

remind myself that hes not her dad.

>> Liam: Thanks for coming over, man.

Its, um...

Its nice.

I-I forgot how good it is to -- to talk to someone outside all

this.

>> Wyatt: Dude, Im always here for you, all right?

And stop trying to be such a tough guy and bottle it all up.

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] Or I might turn into Dad?

Oof.

>> Wyatt: Hews new and improved now.

>> Liam: Oh, so I hear.

>> Wyatt: [ Chuckles ] >> Liam: Also, congratulations

on everything happening with you and Sally at Spencer.

Thats cool.

>> Wyatt: Thanks, man.

Seriously.

Like, promise me that youll come to me if you need to vent.

And I promise, no matter what it is, I wont make fun of you.

>> Liam: Where have I heard that before?

>> Wyatt: [ Laughs ] Im serious, dude.

I mean, I cant even imagine what youve been going through,

all right?

All the -- the crazy emotions, the ups and the downs and

everything, like...

You and Hope have suffered a horrible loss.

But I know how strong you are.

And youre gonna get through it.

And she will, too.

She will because you are gonna help her get through it,

all right?

You guys are gonna get through it together.

Youre gonna help each other, and youre gonna survive this.

You got a ton of people that are pulling for you.

Dont ever forget that.

>> Liam: Thank you, bro.

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

>> Liam: [ Clears throat ] [ Sighs ]

You know, I wish -- I wish there was a way to bring my daughter

back.

But theres not. Shes gone.

And...we just have to keep living right through that.

>> Hope: You know Phoebes birth mother?

>> Zoe: Yes. I do.

>> Hope: Um, who -- who is she?

>> Zoe: Its Flo.

Yeah. Uh, thi-- this is the woman who gave birth to Phoebe.

Heh...

>> Hope: Really? Is that true?

>> Zoe: Yes.

Look, dont worry, Flo.

Its -- its okay for Hope to know the truth.

>> Hope: Wow. You, um...

You gave birth to Phoebe, Steffys daughter?

Shes such a precious angel, and...

I know how difficult of a decision it must have been to

place your daughter up for adoption, and I-I know you did

what you thought was best.

And, um, I just...

I want to let you know how much of a gift shes been for me.

Um...

Losing my baby, I-I would have given anything to hold her

again, but I cant.

But I have Phoebe.

And even though shes not mine, I mean, its been so healing

getting to spend time with her, and she brings me peace.

Shes a really, really special girl.

And shes in good hands.

Um, theres a whole family that is there, loving her and looking

out for her.

And Steffy, I mean, shes a devoted, adoring mother, and

shes gonna give her a wonderful life [Voice breaking] and, um...

I just -- I just hope that brings you some comfort.

Um...

I really should get going.

Um... It was just...

It was really, really nice getting to talk to you, okay?

>> Zoe: What were you thinking, Flo?

You were about to tell her, werent you?

You were about to tell her that Phoebe is actually Beth.

>> Steffy: [ Sighs ] >> Hope: Remember the vows you

made to each other.

Make the life that you promised to each other.

You know, that doesnt have to be a picture of the past.

It can be a snapshot of the future.

Two parents raising Phoebe and Kelly together.

A family.

Look how happy you two could be.

You could have that life again.

>> Liam: Hey.

I thought I heard you come in.

How was, uh...

How was your visit with Katie?

>> Hope: Fine.

>> Liam: You went to Bikini, right?

That was probably fun.

Bet it was crowded, but fun.

>> Hope: Mm-hmm.

>> Liam: Hey.

Something wrong?

>> Hope: I met someone after Katie left.

>> Liam: Wha-- Who?

>> Hope: I met Phoebes birth mother.

>> Zoe: Hey, Danny, could you, uh, cover for Flo?

Its important.

>> Danny: Sure.

But make it quick.

>> Zoe: Thanks.

I cant believe you were about to tell Hope.

>> Flo: You lied to her, Zoe.

She deserves to know the truth.

>> Zoe: Why were you even talking to her in the first

place?

>> Flo: She was sitting at the bar.

I overheard her talking about her baby and losing it on

Catalina, and your dad was -- was the doctor.

It didnt take a genius to put two and two together and realize

that she was Phoebes mother.

>> Zoe: So you thought you should be the one to tell her?

No care in the world for what could happen to my father?

>> Flo: Zo-- >> Zoe: What could happen to

you?

>> Flo: Zoe, if I had really known what your father had done,

that he had taken Hopes baby and switched it with another, I

never would have gotten involved in the first place.

>> Zoe: But you did get involved, Flo.

You signed fake adoption papers claiming that you were Phoebes

mother.

>> Flo: It was the worst decision of my life.

Now Im mixed up in this whole mess.

And now Hope, she -- she -- she thinks that her baby is

dead!

>> Zoe: I dont like what my father did any more than you do,

okay?

But I need to protect him.

I will not let him go to jail.

Do you hear me?

You cant say a word to anyone.

You need to leave L.A.

immediately.

>> Flo: [ Scoffs ] You dont get it.

Even if I went back to Vegas, this would still haunt me.

You saw Hope. You saw her.

You heard her.

Shes absolutely devastated, heartbroken without her baby.

And I did that.

I helped play a part in that.

My God, Zoe, I just -- I just...

[ Voice breaking ] I just -- I feel so terrible about it.

>> Zoe: I know. So do I.

Okay? And -- and thats why Im telling you, you -- you cant be

around here, all right?

You could go to prison for a very long time.

You know, we could all end up locked up.

>> Flo: She just seems like such a sweet person.

I dont -- I dont know how your father could do that to

somebody.

>> Zoe: He did it to pay off his gambling debt, okay?

They were threatening to hurt me.

He did it to protect me.

>> Flo: Dont you think its gonna come out?

I mean, with all the DNA technology and these ancestor

kits you can just buy at the drug store, I mean...

Its bound to come out.

Steffy Forrester will eventually realize that -- that Hope Logan

is the mother of her baby.

>> Zoe: I can only pray that doesnt happen.

>> Flo: You only care about what happens to your father.

You know, may-- Maybe he deserves

to get locked up.

For what he did to me.

He used me. He lied to me.

I -- I-I cant believe Im in the middle of all this.

>> Zoe: Well, you are, okay?

Look, I-I get if you feel guilty, because I-I do, too.

I do.

But if you tell anyone, let alone Hope, we will all

end up in serious trouble.

>> Danny: Hey, Flo, I need you back at the bar!

>> Zoe: Flo, please.

Please, just listen to me, okay?

Youve got to quit this job.

Just go back to my dads apartment, pack your bags,

and leave L.A. immediately.

>> Wyatt: Oh! Im so sorry.

>> Flo: Oh, excuse me.

Im sorry.

>> Wyatt: I, uh -- [ Chuckles ] >> Flo: Wyatt? Wyatt Fuller?

>> Wyatt: Holy...
