Hey.

>> Steffy: Hi, are you guys

busy?

>> Liam: No, not really.

Whats up?

>> Steffy: Would you and Hope be

able to come over?

Its important.

>> Liam: Yeah. Everything okay?

>> Steffy: Yeah. Yeah.

Kelly and Phoebe are fine.

But I need to talk to the both

of you.

>> Liam: Uh, yeah. Okay.

Hope and I will head right over.

Well see you soon. Bye.

Hey, so...

Steffy just called.

She said she wants us to come

over.

>> Hope: Are the girls okay?

>> Liam: Thats what I asked.

She said theyre fine, but then

I dont know why she would want

to talk to us.

>> Donna: Here you go!

>> Katie: Oh, my gosh, thank you

so much.

I needed caffeine, STAT.

>> Donna: Well, you had a busy

morning.

>> Katie: I just feel like Im

so slammed, and I want to get a

jump on things.

>> Donna: Yeah?

Well, I noticed, uh, Bill came

by, took Will to school.

>> Katie: Mm-hmm.

>> Donna: Theyve been spending

more and more time together.

>> Katie: Yeah, hes really

stepping up as a father.

>> Donna: Its nice for Will.

Nice for you, too.

>> Katie: Yeah, it is.

Its good.

Im glad that hes pulling his

weight as a parent, you know?

>> Donna: You look...extra glam

today.

>> Katie: I do?

>> Donna: Yeah! Yeah.

Its like, uh, the hair, the

makeup...

>> Katie: Thanks.

>> Donna: Wouldnt have anything

to do with, uh, seeing someone

special today, would it?

>> Bill: This is our first

attempt at creating a fashion

house at Spencer.

I want everything to go as

seamlessly as possible.

>> Wyatt: See?

This is where I get it.

Dad, Sallys done this before,

all right?

She basically revamped

Spectra Fashions from scratch

last time.

>> Sally: I did, yes, and, uh,

it wasnt easy.

Didnt exactly go as planned.

I know this is anything but a

simple process.

>> Bill: Far from it.

>> Sally: Well, thank you,

again, for doing this, Bill, and

if there is anything at all

that you need from me, just say

the word.

>> Justin: Yeah, well, theres

still some legal issues we need

to sort out.

>> Bill: Were only on Phase 1.

>> Wyatt: Right, but at least

were moving forward.

>> Justin: Slowly but surely.

But your fathers attention has

been focused elsewhere lately,

namely Katie and Will, which I

wholeheartedly approve of.

>> Katie: Are you talking about

Bill?

Seriously?

>> Donna: Im just saying, you

look really pretty today, and...

>> Katie: Okay.

>> Donna: And I notice youre

wearing a new outfit.

>> Katie: This is not a new

outfit.

I have had this dress in my

closet for a very long time.

And Id like to think that I

generally pull myself together

when Im going to the office,

not just because Im trying to

seduce my ex-husband over my

sons bowl of cereal.

Believe me, I was not thinking

about Bill when I got ready this

morning.

>> Donna: Maybe just a teeny

little, little bit?

>> Katie: No, not even a teeny,

tiny little bit.

>> Donna: I guess its a total

coincidence that you look all

glam the morning that Bill stops

by.

>> Katie: [ Laughs ]

>> Donna: Or maybe...

Youre falling for him again,

and you just dont know it yet.

>> Katie: [ Sighs ]

>> Bill: All right, slow your

roll there, slick.

I dont need you giving them a

play-by-play on my social life.

>> Wyatt: Wait, now, hold --

Hold -- Hold on, I --

For what its worth, I happen to

agree with Justin.

I think it would be really

great if you spent more time

with Katie and Will.

>> Justin: See?

Its not just me.

Your son is saying the exact

same thing.

>> Bill: I dont care what my

son says.

And dont you chime in.

>> Sally: I wasnt going to.

You know, but now -- now that

you mention it...

>> Bill: Okay, all right.

Look, let me just set you clowns

straight.

Katie and I, we are -- we are

proud parents of a fantastic

kid, and thats where it ends.

>> Justin: Sure.

We believe you.

>> Wyatt: Yeah, no, Dad yeah.

We totally believe you, like

100%.

>> Steffy: Thanks for coming

over.

>> Hope: Of course.

Liam said it was important.

>> Steffy: Oh, I hope I didnt

make you worry.

>> Liam: No, no, not at all,

but...

Is something going on?

>> Steffy: Well, I -- I have

some news, and I wanted to share

it with you in person because it

doesnt just affect me, it --

It affects the both of you, too.

>> Donna: Look, Ive given you

my opinion.

I think youre still in love

with Bill.

>> Katie: You know, its funny,

I dont remember asking for your

opinion.

>> Donna: Yeah, see, Im your

older sister, and itd be weird

if I didnt give you unsolicited

advice.

>> Katie: Listen, Im thrilled

that Bill is stepping up as a

father, but that doesnt mean

that anything has changed

between us.

>> Donna: Because youre not

giving it a chance.

>> Katie: Honestly, Bill and I

have been married twice, and

both times it didnt work out.

>> Donna: Third times the

charm?

>> Katie: [ Sighs ] Do I have to

remind you about everything Bill

and I have been through

together?

>> Donna: No. Please.

All you have to do is -- is look

at yourself when I mention his

name.

Or when you describe what kind

of father he is to Will.

Look, youve gotten really good

at hiding it, and I know youre

so used to pushing him away.

And hes not exactly the easiest

guy in the world, I know it, and

youre afraid of getting hurt,

but, Katie...

I can tell theres still a

longing, a yearning for your

family to be together again.

You know what, whether you want

to admit it or not, I know that

there is a part of you that

still wants to reconcile with

Bill.

And, you know what, I say it

would be the smartest thing that

you could do.

>> Bill: Look at you

matchmakers.

You having a good time ganging

up on me?

Are you?

>> Justin: Well, who knows you

better than we do?

>> Bill: Let me lay this out for

you, all right?

Katie and I, we have a mutual

respect and admiration for each

other.

And I think were doing a great

job raising our kid.

Leave it at that!

>> Sally: The three of you do

make a pretty cute family...

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

Think of how happy Will would

be.

>> Sally: Not to mention how

happy Katie would be.

>> Wyatt: Mm-hmm.

>> Justin: And if you two

werent so hardheaded, you might

actually let this thing happen.

>> Bill: Katies not interested

in me that way!

And, besides, she -- she just

got, you know, rid of that

loser, Thorne.

Im sure shed like a little

space, just to be on her own for

a bit.

>> Sally: You only live once,

boss.

Just go for it.

Tell her how you feel!

>> Bill: Ill tell the three of

you how I feel.

Annoyed.

All right, as far as Katies

concerned, Im not feeling any

kind of way.

>> Wyatt: Yeah, no, yeah.

Youre not fooling anyone.

>> Justin: You know, Ive known

you for decades, and youve

always worked your best when

your family-focused.

Wyatt is back here at the

company.

Youre working on your

relationship with Liam.

Those are steps in the right

direction, Bill.

So why cant you take the next

step?

Reunite with Katie and

rebuild your family with Will.

>> Hope: So, if everythings

okay...

>> Steffy: I know youre

wondering why I called you over

here.

>> Liam: Yeah, I mean, if you

need to go somewhere, if you

want to, like, run some errands,

we can watch Kelly and Phoebe.

>> Steffy: Im leaving, but not

just for a couple of hours.

Im heading to Europe.

I have some presentations over

at International, and some

meetings with buyers in a few

other cities.

>> Liam: Wow.

I mean, I knew you were taking

on more at Forrester.

I just had no idea it was,

like....

>> Steffy: Yeah, yeah.

It all happened really, really

quickly.

>> Hope: When are you leaving?

>> Steffy: In a couple days.

>> Liam: Obviously the girls are

going with you?

>> Steffy: Yeah. Yeah.

Its the girls first trip.

They are my first priority.

But I am co-CEO at Forrester,

and I just want to make sure the

companys running smoothly over

there.

>> Hope: Springtime in Paris, I

mean, that -- that will be

incredible.

>> Steffy: Yeah, itll be busy,

but Im bringing Amelia to help

me with the girls, and Im

hoping my mom can make it out.

I know its gonna be hard not

seeing the girls.

Theyre gonna miss you.

And, you know, its not just a

business trip.

Im not just going for me.

Im hoping my time away will

help you, Hope.

>> Hope: Help me?

>> Steffy: Maybe a little

separation from the girls and me

will help you get past the

tragedy of losing Beth.

>> Katie: Im not gonna let you

try and fix us up, Donna.

>> Donna: [ Scoffs ] Thats not

what Im doing.

>> Katie: Thats exactly what

youre doing.

>> Donna: Okay, fine.

Maybe just a little.

>> Katie: Thank you admitting

it.

>> Donna: Look, I just think

itd be really beautiful if you

and Bill found each other again.

>> Katie: [ Sighs ]

Look, I know you like a good

love story, but my life is not a

romance novel.

>> Donna: No.

But it could be.

>> Katie: [ Scoffs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

>> Bill: All right, well, I, uh,

appreciate -- sort of

appreciate -- everyones concern

for my love life, but its

completely unnecessary.

>> Wyatt: This is not just about

your love life, Dad.

>> Justin: Its about Katie,

its about Will.

Rebuilding your family.

>> Wyatt: Exactly, and nothing

is more important than family.

You have been preaching that for

as long as I know you, and

youre right.

Family and friends.

Right?

Its all that matters.

Thats the most important thing

for us.

So why not give it another shot,

give it another chance, Dad?

Katie and Will is where you

belong.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

>> Bill: Oh, well. [ Laughs ]

Gonna have to wrap this up.

Meeting with the mayor at

Il Giardino.

>> Wyatt: Mm.

>> Sally: Right, of course.

The mayor.

>> Bill: Yeah, sorry, uh, but

Im gonna have to run.

So while Im gone, how about you

yentas stop focusing on my

personal life and get

something done here at

Spencer Publications?

>> Hope: I know you have

meetings to attend overseas, but

I dont want you leaving and

taking the girls on my account,

and then taking them away from

Liam.

>> Steffy: Thats not the only

reason Im leaving.

I thought it would be good for

you, so you could have some

space so you can heal.

>> Liam: I mean, Steffy does

have a point.

Maybe a little breather would be

helpful, and gives you and me

some time together.

We can -- We can take a trip, we

can -- we can spend some time --

>> Hope: No, I mean, your place

is here.

Liam, your place is with the

girls, and if Steffy needs to go

on a business trip, then you

should go with her.

>> Steffy: Okay, weve already

been through this.

You cant push us together,

Hope.

>> Hope: I still feel terrible

when I think about everything

Kelly and Phoebe are missing out

on, having Liam around

full-time.

>> Liam: No way.

This is settled.

This -- This is not happening.

Can you stop bringing that up,

please?

>> Hope: I am messing everything

up.

I am keeping you from being a

family.

>> Liam: No, youre -- Okay.

>> Hope: Im one of the reasons

Steffy is taking the girls.

>> Steffy: Okay, no, no, no.

Were not doing this.

Were not going there again.

Im taking the girls for a

little while.

Liam will be able to talk to

them, hell be able to video

chat.

>> Liam: Exactly.

>> Steffy: But leaving right now

is the best decision for all of

us.

>> Hope: But the grow so fast at

this age.

I mean, every week, Liam is

gonna miss out on so much.

>> Steffy: Hope, I know you

adore Phoebe and Kelly, but you

do not have to worry about them.

Theyre fine.

You need to focus on you.

Your life.

Your marriage to Liam.

You look very handsome today.

>> Justin: Well, thank you.

>> Wyatt: Okay, you two want to

be alone, or anything?

We could probably take off.

>> Donna: Oh, no, not if you

want to hear the good news.

>> Justin: What good news?

>> Donna: Well, I just came from

seeing Katie, and I think a

reconciliation between her and

Bill is a possibility.

>> Wyatt: Thats funny.

I mean, we were literally just

talking about that.

>> Donna: Really? Huh.

>> Justin: Were all for it.

>> Sally: Did Katie say shed be

into it?

>> Donna: Not exactly, but, see,

I know my sister, and I can tell

shes hiding her feelings.

I think she still has a thing

for Bill.

>> Justin: Well, thats great.

Lets hope those two can stay

out their way long enough to

make it happen.

>> Wyatt: [ Chuckles ]

>> Sally: It would be so nice

for Will.

>> Wyatt: Yeah, and lets face

it, who else has the patience to

put up with my dad?

>> Donna: [ Laughs ]

>> Justin: Oh, God bless her if

she is willing to take your

father back.

>> Wyatt: Right?

>> Donna: Yeah, where --

Where is Bill?

>> Wyatt: Oh, he -- he said he

had a lunch meeting.

>> Donna: Oh. Whered he go?

>> Sally: Um, Il Giardino?

>> Donna: [ Scoffs ]

>> Wyatt: What?

>> Donna: Katie is on her way

there, too.

>> Sally: Huh.

>> Wyatt: Hmm.

♪♪

>> Katie: Hi.

>> Bill: Katie. Hey.

>> Katie: Um, have you seen

Brooke?

>> Bill: Brooke? No.

>> Katie: Im supposed to meet

her for lunch, I think.

[ Laughs ]

>> Bill: You think?

>> Katie: Well, I -- I am

beginning to wonder if I made it

for the wrong day because I just

dont remember making plans with

her.

>> Bill: Yeah, Im supposed to

have a meeting, as well.

Hes a busy guy, but normally on

time.

I dont know where he is.

Well, Ill tell you what, how

about, uh, you join me in the

meantime?

>> Katie: Okay.

>> Bill: You know, Im not gonna

be, uh, too upset if this

meeting doesnt happen.

Maybe that means youll have

lunch with me instead.

>> Hope: I just -- I dont get

it.

What does you leaving town with

the girls have to do with me

mourning the loss of my

daughter?

>> Steffy: Hope, Ive been

really worried about you, and I

know Liam has been, too.

You need to get this idea out of

your head that youre keeping a

family apart because youre not.

Its my choice how I want to

raise the girls right now, and

its Liams choice to be with

you.

Youre his wife, not me.

His place isnt here.

>> Liam: My place is with you,

Hope.

>> Hope: In my head, I know what

youre saying make sense, and I

get where youre both coming

from, and, yes, in some ways, I

do realize that I have been

using Phoebe to cope with the

loss of Beth.

I --

I dont know, I still dont

understand this strong

connection I have with your

child, I...

[ Babies crying ]

>> Steffy: Sounds like the

girls.

Ill be right back.

>> Liam: Ill go help you.

Kelly! Did you have a good nap?

Did you have any dreams?

>> Steffy: Phoebe, Im gonna

pass you over to Hope.

Auntie Hope. [ Giggles ]

There you go.

Aww, there you go.

>> Hope: Hi!

[ Gasps ] Hi, pretty girl.

>> Steffy: Hope, after today,

were not gonna have this

conversation again.

You need to stop insisting that

Liam needs to be with me.

Take this time to heal.

Strengthen your marriage,

reconnect with Liam.

Maybe even try to start a

family.

When I lost my baby, I didnt --

I didnt think I could have

another child, but...

here I am, a mother of two

little girls.

When I get back from my trip, I

really hope to hear that youve

started to rebuild.

>> Hope: I dont know if I can.

>> Steffy: Yes, you can.

You can, Hope. I can see it.

I can see it when you hold

Phoebe.

That beautiful maternal instinct

to love your own child.

There is no doubt in my mind

that you are meant to be a

mother.

>> Liam: No doubt in my mind,

either.

>> Steffy: When I get back from

Europe...

I hope that you two find your

purpose in life.

And that youre smiling.

And, hey, maybe...

youll have a little one of your

own.

A little daughter like Phoebe.
