♪♪

>> Brooke: You don't remember

everything about Thomas.

He's not the most stable

member of the family.

And this sudden attachment

that he has to you out of

nowhere...

It worries me.

>> Bill: What a pleasant

surprise.

>> Brooke: Oh.

>> Bill: You waiting for a

table?

>> Brooke: Takeout.

>> Bill: Ah. Well, lucky me.

You mind if I join you

for a minute?

Uh, uh, I won't be a

nuisance for long.

I-I'm meeting Justin for dinner.

>> Brooke: [ Chuckles ]

You never are. Sit.

>> Bill: So, you seem kind of

deep in thought.

Everything okay?

♪♪

>> Brooke: I'm glad I

ran into you.

I've been meaning to call.

>> Bill: Me?

>> Brooke: To tell you how

pleased I am that you and Katie

are back together.

>> Bill: Ahh. Yeah.

Nobody's happier about it

than I am.

Well, except Will, of course.

>> Brooke: Mmph.

I really am proud of you.

You wanted to reunite your

family, and you're doing it.

>> Bill: Absolutely.

Well [Stammers] who could resist

all this wonderfulness, huh?

>> Brooke: [ Laughs ]

That's what I'm saying.

>> Bill: [ Chuckles ]

Hmm.

>> Brooke: What?

>> Bill: That was good.

It was very clever, the way you

did that -- deflected my

question, made the conversation

about me instead of you.

But my Spencey sense is telling

me that something is bothering

you, Brooke.

Is it Ridge?

Did he do something again?

>> Bill: All right.

You don't have to tell me

if you don't want to.

But if you need a sounding

board, I'm here.

>> Brooke: Well, it is about

Ridge.

In a roundabout way.

It's through his son.

>> Bill: His son? What --

This mood is about Thomas?

>> Brooke: I don't trust him,

Bill.

And I certainly don't trust his

intentions towards my daughter.

>> Xander: I don't know --

>> Flo: Hey.

I got your text.

What's happening? What --

What's so urgent?

>> Zoe: Hope might be

learning the truth.

Right now, as we speak.

>> Flo: What?!

But I thought Thomas wasn't

gonna tell her.

Did -- did he change his mind?

>> Zoe: Emma found out.

>> Flo: Emma?

>> Xander: Yeah, she works here.

And she overheard Zoe and me

arguing about it.

>> Zoe: As you can imagine,

she was horrified when

she found out Beth is alive

and well over at Steffy's.

Okay, Emma left here on a

mission to tell Hope the truth.

>> Flo: Oh, my God.

That's it, then.

>> Zoe: Not if Thomas

finds her first.

>> Hope: Thomas!

What are you doing here?

>> Flo: Oh, my God.

Just when I think that things

have settled, for better or for

worse, we get thrown another

curve ball.

Emma knows?!

>> Xander: And she's on her way

to Hope.

>> Zoe: Well, I'm still hoping

that Thomas might be able to

reason with her.

>> Flo: [ Sighs ]

>> Xander: You saw the look on

Emma's face.

I don't think there's a force

on earth that can stop her

from telling Hope the truth

about Beth.

>> Zoe: I mean, I don't know.

We all saw firsthand how

persuasive Thomas can be when he

really wants to be.

>> Xander: [ Scoffs ]

>> Flo: "Persuasive" is

putting it mildly.

I-I don't know about you,

but I still get chills every

time I think about how he was

threatening us.

>> Xander: You know, we should

have never folded.

Hope and Liam would already be

reunited with Beth,

and Emma would have never been

dragged into this.

>> Flo: The secret keeps

growing.

>> Xander: Well, that's the

thing about secrets --

it's hard to keep a lid on them.

They feed themselves.

And it feels like this one's

about to be blown sky high.

>> Zoe: No.

No, Thomas will stop Emma.

If she tells Hope that Beth is

alive, his future plans go right

out the window.

And he's not having that. Okay?

I have to believe that

Thomas will find a way

to keep Emma quiet.

>> Bill: Thomas has intentions

toward Hope?

I thought that burned itself out

years ago.

>> Brooke: It was never much of

a flame for Hope.

Even then, she was still

in love with Liam.

So Thomas moved on.

But then he came back with an

adorable little boy who had lost

his mother.

And Hope was in a lot of pain

because she lost her daughter.

And, you know, she pushed

Liam away.

>> Bill: So you think Thomas is

using the current situation to

get close to Hope?

>> Brooke: I think he's taking

advantage of her broken heart.

I mean, he's practically

throwing Douglas at her.

And of course she's gonna be

vulnerable to him.

He lost his mother.

And Thomas, I think, is gonna

put on the pressure even harder

now that she's not married to

Liam.

>> Bill: So Thomas wants Hope

for himself.

>> Brooke: He hasn't been very

subtle about it.

He told me how much he loves

her.

>> Bill: Do you think he

influenced Hope's decision to

annul her marriage to Liam?

>> Brooke: Well, she was

thinking about it anyway.

Yeah, I do think that he helped

validate that decision.

>> Bill: So, Thomas is actively

working against my son's best

interests.

>> Brooke: When it comes to

Hope, I would say yes.

>> Bill: Well, that must

make things awkward around the

dinner table.

>> Brooke: [ Sighs ]

I have to be very careful

what I say to Ridge and

how I say it.

I'm really worried, Bill.

I don't like this at all.

I think that Thomas is pushing

too hard and moving way too

quickly, and I just

don't trust his so-called

"love" for my daughter.

>> Hope: Heh...

Where did you come from?

>> Thomas: Well, I thought you

heard me knock.

I could have sworn

you said, "Come in."

>> Hope: No.

>> Thomas: Sorry.

>> Hope: Uh, no. It's fine.

It just [Chuckles] took me

by surprise, that's all.

>> Thomas: Have I told you

lately how amazing you are?

>> Hope: Me? [ Scoffs ]

What did -- what did I do?

>> Thomas: You live, you

breathe, you look like that.

[ Chuckles quietly ]

I'm really proud of the

decisions you've been making.

>> Hope: Well, I'm trying.

>> Thomas: That's what makes it

more remarkable.

You could be sitting in a

corner, staring at a wall, and

no one would blame you

after what you've been through

with Beth.

It's awful. Unimaginable.

But you've been pushing your

life forward.

Making the right decisions.

And not just for Douglas, Kelly,

and Phoebe, but for yourself.

I mean, you... [ Sighs ]

You told Liam to go be with

Steffy and the girls, and -- and

that was a painful but necessary

step, and you took it.

>> Hope: It's for the girls.

They deserve to have a

full-time father.

>> Thomas: And, uh,

Douglas deserves to have a

full-time mother.

The three of us could be happy.

If you'll have us.

And I'll wait.

And while I'm waiting, I --

[ Sighs ]

I'll protect that dream

with everything I am.

And I won't let anything or

anyone get in the way of it,

okay?

I promise you.

>> Brooke: Ridge isn't exactly

objective when it comes to

Thomas.

>> Bill: Well, who is when

it's their own kid?

>> Brooke: He just sees Thomas

the way he wants to.

And if he can't, he blames

himself or he makes excuses.

And Thomas complains about

his childhood and how unstable

it was.

But you know what?

He can't blame Ridge and me

forever.

He's got to stand up at some

point and become a man.

He has a child.

He's got to be responsible

for how he acts and who he is

as a person.

>> Bill: Thomas has skated

close to the edge more than

once.

>> Brooke: Yes, especially when

it comes to Rick.

He set his house on fire.

He blew up his car.

Thomas took Rick, and he threw

him through a plate-glass

window, for God's sake!

>> Bill: Well, let's not forget

the possibility that he

took advantage of Caroline

back in the day.

You're right to keep an eye on

him, Brooke.

I mean, the fact is,

Thomas is not a very stable

person.

And it's entirely likely that he

would take advantage of Hope

when she's vulnerable.

>> Brooke: Thank you for

understanding.

>> Bill: Of course, Brooke.

You know I'm always here for

you.

[ Cellphone rings ]

What's up, Justin?

You get a better dinner offer?

>> Justin: Yeah, man. I, uh --

This -- It's something --

Look, I ca-- I can't even talk

right now, uh...

>> Bill: What is it, Justin?

What happened?

>> Justin: Got a call.

[ Sniffles ]

From my sister.

E-Emma's mom.

She said the police notified

her, and, uh...

>> Bill: The police?

>> Justin: Yeah.

There was an accident on

Mulholland, near Brooke's...

Emma's car went off the road.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Voice breaking ] My niece

is -- is dead, Bill.

>> Bill: Oh, my God, Justin.

I am so sorry.

Wh-where are you?

A-are you at the office?

>> Justin: Uh...

Yeah, man.

I'm -- I'm still here.

>> Bill: Just stay put.

I'll be -- I'll be there in 10.

>> Brooke: What happened?

>> Bill: [ Sighs ]

Justin's niece, Emma. She...

She's dead, Brooke.

>> Brooke: What?

>> Bill: Her car went off

Mulholland.

>> Brooke: Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

>> Bill: Justin's a wreck.

I've got to go meet him.

>> Brooke: Oh, yes. Of course.

Go, go. This is terrible.

She was a part of the family.

We all loved her so much.

>> Bill: Everybody needs

to know.

>> Brooke: No, I-I know.

Okay. Okay, I'm gonna --

I'm gonna call the office,

and I'll make sure that

everybody knows over there at

Forrester.

[ Sniffles ]

You -- you must go.

But I'll -- Hope.

What about Hope?

She's had so many losses

in her life.

She's gonna be devastated.

Oh, God. Poor Emma.

[ Sighs ]

>> Thomas: I'm not fooling

myself.

I know convincing you

to have a life with Douglas

and me, that'll --

that'll take time.

Okay, but I've got plenty.

And while we're in a holding

pattern, someone has to think

about our future.

And, well, you can't see it yet.

So that has to be me, too.

But I'm wiling to take that job.

>> Hope: Thomas --

>> Thomas: I know I'm right.

And not everyone's gonna be

behind us.

I know that your --

your mother won't.

She's got some issues with me

right now.

>> Hope: Oh, that's --

That's not true.

>> Thomas: It doesn't matter.

I'll win her over.

And I'll win over anyone else

who thinks differently.

Just trust and believe that --

that everything I'm doing,

I'm doing with your best

interests in mind.

>> Flo: [ Sighs ]

I can't take it anymore.

This waiting is

driving me crazy.

>> Xander: There's no

suspense here.

I mean, the way Emma left, so

determined to tell Hope.

There's only one way

this ends up.

>> Zoe: Not if Thomas finds

a way to stop her.

>> Xander: [ Scoffs ]

>> Flo: Pam.

What's wrong?

>> Pam: I-I just got off the

phone with Brooke, and...

She wants me to tell everyone...

I can't even believe that I'm

about to say this.

>> Zoe: Pam, what?

>> Pam: There's been a terrible

accident.

Emma is dead.

>> Xander: Emma's dead?

>> Zoe: Wait, how can this be?

>> Flo: What happened?

>> Pam: All I know is that her

car went off the side of

Mulholland.

And by the time the paramedics

got there, there was just

nothing anyone could do.

This is insane!

She was just here,

looking for Hope.

I told her that -- that Hope was

going home from Steffy's.

And then, the last time I saw

Emma, she and Thomas were

together.

>> Zoe: Wait, they were?

>> Pam: Yeah. Which is strange.

>> Xander: What? What?

What was strange?

>> Pam: I walked into the C.E.O.

office, and Thomas was clearly

upset about something.

It was very tense.

>> Xander: Did Emma say

anything?

>> Pam: No.

She -- she left so quickly.

She was such a sweet and good

person, and she was so young.

I know that she was your really

good friend, so I wanted to tell

you first.

I'm so sorry to bring you

this awful news.

>> Xander: What, so no one else

is gonna say it?

[ Scoffs ] Okay.

Emma was determined to tell

Hope the truth about Beth.

Thomas was just as determined

to stop her.

Clearly, whether Pam recognized

it or not, she saw a heated

moment between them, and then

suddenly...

conveniently, Emma's just...

dead?

And where the hell is Thomas,

anyway?

>> Zoe: Xander, what

are you saying?

>> Flo: So you think it was

Thomas?

You think Thomas killed Emma?

>> Thomas: I meant what I said.

Never forget that everything I'm

doing, I'm doing for you.

Your happiness. Our future.

>> Hope: Thomas, I --

[ Cellphone rings ]

It's Mom.

Hey.

>> Brooke: Hi, honey. [ Sighs ]

You need to brace yourself.

I have some really

terrible news.

>> Hope: What happened, Mom?

You're scaring me.

>> Brooke: I was sitting here

with Bill -- he left -- and --

and Justin called him and --

and told him...

>> Hope: Mom, tell me.

>> Brooke: A car went off

Mulholland Drive near our house,

and it was -- it was Emma's.

>> Hope: Oh, my God.

>> Brooke: I'm sorry, honey,

but she didn't make it.

She's dead.

>> Hope: No. No, that can't be.

[ Sinister music plays ]

>> Brooke: I know this is gonna

be hard for you because you've

had a lot of losses lately,

but I want to make sure that

you're okay.

And I-I didn't want you to

find out from some kind of

notification.

>> Hope: Thank you for

telling me.

>> Thomas: Hope?

>> Hope: It's Emma.

>> Thomas: Wh-what --

What happened?

>> Hope: She's gone.

>> Thomas: She's gone where?

>> Hope: Dead.

Emma's dead.

>> Thomas: [ Stammers ] How?

>> Hope: Her car went off the

road on Mulholland.

>> Thomas: [ Sighs ]

Well, that's -- that's terrible.

>> Hope: I can't believe it.

She had her whole life

in front of her, and...

[ Scoffs ]

I don't understand how something

like this can happen.
