♪♪ >> Hope: Our baby.

This is our baby.

I can't believe it.

>> Liam: This is her.

This is our Beth.

>> Hope: Oh, my gosh, she's so beautiful.

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Hope: All those times I held her before...

>> Liam: She was yours.

You just didn't know it.

>> Hope: I feel like I'm meeting her for the first time.

>> Liam: Well, in a way, you're -- you're being with her

for the first time as her mother.

[ Baby cries ] >> Hope: [ Laughs ]

>> Liam: [ Laughs ] Yeah.

Exactly!

>> Hope: This is really her.

This is really -- This is our Beth.

This is -- This is the baby we thought we lost, and she --

and she's here in my arms right now.

>> Liam: It's hard to believe, isn't it?

>> Hope: [ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh.

Our daughter. [ Squeals ] But, Liam...

How?

I mean, how -- how did this happen?

I need to know.

I need you to tell me everything.

>> Brooke: Beth is alive?

My daughter's baby is alive?

>> Flo: Yes.

>> Brooke: You told everybody that you're Phoebe birth mother!

>> Flo: I lied.

>> Brooke: Because Phoebe doesn't exist!

>> Shauna: Wait a minute.

>> Brooke: Oh, stop it, Shauna!

It's too late!

There's no protecting her anymore.

>> Ridge: What are you saying, Flo?

Look at me.

>> Ridge: Steffy's raising...

Phoebe is Beth?

>> Flo: I am so sorry.

♪♪ >> Ridge: How could you do this?

How could you do this to a family?

>> Flo: I didn't know the baby was Beth until it was too late.

>> Brooke: I can't believe this.

I can't believe that Beth is alive.

My granddaughter's alive, Ridge.

Hope is gonna -- >> Ridge: I'm asking you how you

did this.

Explain it to me.

>> Flo: It was all Dr. Buckingham.

>> Ridge: Zoe's father?

>> Zoe: Uh, sorry, I'll -- I'll just come back later.

>> Brooke: Uh, no.

No, we need to speak to you.

>> Ridge: Yeah, we're just talking about your dad.

>> Brooke: We just found out the truth about Beth.

>> Zoe: I don't -- I...

I don't know what you're talking about, I --

>> Ridge: You knew about this all along, didn't you?

>> Brooke: How was your father involved?

I want the truth, and I want it now.

No more messing with my daughter's life.

>> Liam: She's ours, Hope.

This is not a dream.

This is our little girl.

>> Hope: I know, and I'm so thankful, but --

But I still don't understand.

>> Liam: I'm gonna tell you everything, I promise.

But maybe, right now, we just -- we just wait.

We just enjoy this, let it sink in.

>> Hope: But...

No, I -- I need to know.

Because I -- I don't understand how it happened.

I was in the hospital.

I held her, she wasn't breathing.

The doctor told me that she didn't make it.

He told me that there was nothing else that he could do.

>> Liam: Dr. Buckingham lied.

He's responsible for all of this.

>> Brooke: It's sick, what your father did.

>> Ridge: Used it for gambling debt?

>> Zoe: I told you, my life was in danger.

>> Brooke: There is no excuse.

And there's no excuse for the two of you keeping that secret.

How long have you known?

>> Flo: I didn't know who the birth mother was.

All he told me is that her name was Hope.

And I didn't even know who Hope and Beth were until after the

adoption.

I know that I should have come forward and told her the truth

when I found out everything, and I tried to.

I tried to many times.

>> Shauna: She -- She did.

>> Brooke: But protecting yourself was more important

than giving Hope's baby back!

What about you, Zoe?

What about you, Shauna?

Wasn't anybody going to tell my daughter the truth?

>> Flo: I am so sorry, Brooke.

I wanted to tell her, and so did she.

We both did.

I-It's just that things started to get out of hand.

>> Flo: But it's over now.

Hope is finally gonna know the truth, and she's gonna have her

baby back.

>> Ridge: How is it over?

What's Steffy?

It's gonna break her heart.

>> Brooke: Taylor was involved in this adoption.

Did she really know what was going on?

>> Flo: No, no, no, no. She -- She didn't know any of this.

She believed that I was the birth mother.

>> Brooke: Yeah, but how could she not know?

That baby came out of nowhere.

>> Flo: She trusted Reese.

Just like I did.

He's a well-respected doctor.

No one would have thought he'd do something like this.

>> Zoe: He and Taylor knew each other through some medical

connections, and she mentioned that Steffy was looking to adopt

a sister for Kelly.

>> Brooke: [ Scoffs ] So he sold my granddaughter.

>> Ridge: That's why Taylor had a bag of cash.

So your daddy can protect you and throw our daughters under

the bus.

>> Brooke: One thing just doesn't add up.

They were in the clinic, and Reese gave Liam and Hope a dead

baby.

My daughter was holding that baby in her arms.

So whose baby was that?

What did your father do?

How did he convince them that their baby was dead?

>> Hope: I can't believe I get to do this.

Last time I held her, I thought I was saying goodbye, I --

I was never gonna see her again.

>> Liam: Well, that's because Dr. Buckingham told both of us

she was gone.

And we had no reason not to believe him.

How would we know?

>> Hope: I need you to tell me, Liam.

I need you to tell me what he did.

>> Liam: It's a long, awful story, honestly, but...

Flo told me everything.

>> Hope: Flo.

>> Liam: I knew something was wrong when I overheard Flo and

Thomas arguing.

After your wedding, they were talking about a secret that you

couldn't find out about, and so I went to Wyatt and I asked him

to talk to Flo, see if he could, like, open her up a little bit,

and she slipped up.

She said that she never had a baby.

So I called the hospital named on the birth certificate.

The doctor had never even heard of Flo Fulton.

She was never a patient at any time.

>> Hope: So she was in on this.

>> Liam: Yes, she was in on it, but it was Dr. Buckingham who

put it all in motion.

He knew Flo from Vegas, and he needed someone to pose as the

mother of a newborn baby.

>> Hope: I don't understand.

I held a child that night in the clinic.

>> Liam: You passed out during labor.

That's when Dr. Buckingham did it.

That's when he...

made the switch.

>> Brooke: Dr. Buckingham put a dead baby in my daughters arms

and told her that it was Beth?

>> Flo: Yes.

>> Brooke: Do you know how traumatizing that was?

She thought it was the last time she was ever going to hold her

child.

>> Zoe: I'm -- I'm so sorry.

I am mortified by what my father did.

And so is he.

He hated himself for it.

>> Ridge: The only thing your dad was concerned about was

making sure that everyone believed that Beth was gone.

>> Brooke: And what about you, Flo?

I can't believe that you actually did this just as a

favor.

>> Shauna: Just be honest, honey.

There's no turning back.

>> Flo: Reese gave me a little bit of the money that Taylor

gave him.

>> Ridge: What?

>> Flo: But it felt like blood money, and I didn't want it.

I literally threw it back at him.

I know that doesn't matter.

I'm not trying to make excuses or anything.

>> Brooke: Oh, my God!

You two must be disgusted with yourselves.

>> Ridge: You let Steffy raise Hope and Liam's baby, and you're

gonna pay for that, I promise you that.

>> Brooke: My daughter has been there for you.

She loves you.

She accepted you into our family.

You -- You're her cousin!

And, you, you're her friend!

Her heart broke into a million pieces that night.

And her marriage split apart.

And there were times I was so worried about her, I wasn't sure

she was gonna make it because of her grief.

And you two just sat back and let it happen?

You shamefully and willfully participated in this vicious

crime against my daughter.

>> Hope: Dr. Buckingham stole our baby?

>> Liam: I know, it's hard to even imagine.

>> Hope: Why -- Why would he even do that?

>> Liam: [ Sighs ] Money.

He owed money to these guys in Vegas, and they were threatening

to hurt Zoe, and so he thought taking Beth, he could pay down

his debt.

>> Hope: But, wait, how -- how did she end up here with Steffy?

>> Liam: [ Sighs ] Because it turns out that Taylor knew

Dr. Buckingham beforehand, and -- and I guess she was

talking to him about how Steffy wants to adopt, and...

That's when he got Flo to pass off Beth as her own, so that he

could collect his "finder's fee" from Taylor.

>> Hope: So he tricked them, too.

>> Liam: Yeah, but -- Steffy and Taylor had no idea

that Phoebe was Beth.

>> Hope: But, Liam, that night in the clinic, I --

I remember that moment so clearly.

I held her, she was wrapped in a blanket.

She was already gone.

>> Liam: Well, that's the sickest part about this whole

thing, is that -- That night, there was another

woman who came into the clinic before you did, and...

She lost her baby.

It was stillborn.

>> Hope: So Dr. Buckingham switched the babies?

>> Liam: He looked you in the eye and he handed you that baby

and he -- and he told you it was Beth.

>> Hope: He kept our beautiful, healthy baby away from us, all

for money?

So who else knows about this besides Dr. Buckingham and Flo?

Is there anyone?

>> Liam: Zoe knew.

She -- She found out after the fact.

I'm assuming that she didn't say anything because she wanted to

keep her father out of prison.

>> Hope: Okay, so Zoe knew.

>> Liam: And Xander.

And Emma.

She heard them arguing the night that she died.

She was on her way to tell you the truth when --

when her car went off the cliff.

>> Hope: Oh, my God...

>> Liam: There's something else you should know, too.

Thomas was there.

He was chasing her in his car.

And, apparently, Thomas has known since around the time we

annulled our marriage.

>> Hope: He knew for that long, and he didn't say anything to

me?

>> Liam: Because he knew if he did, you'd leave him.

>> Hope: We exchanged vows.

He promised to cherish me and to honor me, and he knew that Beth

was alive?

>> Liam: Do you see?

Do you see what a sick bastard he is?

This is why I was going after him the way that I was.

>> Hope: I'm sorry he hit you.

Are you okay?

>> Liam: I'm fine, I just -- I just wanted to get to you in

time to tell you the truth.

>> Hope: I'm so grateful that you did, Liam.

You saved me.

You saved us.

We have a daughter.

We have our Beth.

[ Giggles ]

>> Ridge: Yes, Buckingham.

Dr. Reese Buckingham.

Find him and arrest him.

Yes, he's in London.

Thank you.

>> Zoe: Please have mercy on my father.

I am begging you.

>> Brooke: The same way he showed mercy for my daughter and

her innocent baby?

>> Zoe: He was desperate, okay?

He had to pay those guys off, or they would have killed me!

>> Ridge: He kidnapped a baby, an innocent little child, and

you helped him do it!

>> Shauna: I'm thinking we should call a lawyer.

>> Flo: No, Mom, I'm not thinking about that right now.

>> Ridge: Well, you should be!

>> Shauna: Wait! Please.

Flo has been racked with guilt, and she has wanted to tell Hope

for months, but I begged her not to.

I couldn't watch her go to jail, and I still can't.

I mean, she's my baby.

If you're gonna lock anybody up, please, please let it be me.

>> Brooke: Don't worry, Shauna.

You're all gonna suffer the consequences for what you've

done.

But, right now, all I can think about is my granddaughter

and the fact that she's alive.

We have to tell Hope.

>> Hope: Liam, you've figured all this out.

You put it all together.

You gave her back her parents.

>> Liam: I don't deserve all the credit.

A certain someone gave me a clue.

>> Hope: Douglas.

>> Liam: He was right all along.

>> Hope: Gosh, I remember when he tried to tell me that Beth

was alive, but...

I thought he was confused.

I didn't realize he was telling me the truth.

[ Baby cries ] Yeah, he was telling the truth

this entire time.

I mean, he went against his father for us, for Beth...

>> Liam: Yeah.

He was really brave.

And I owe him a thank-you.

>> Hope: Wow, this is so surreal.

I mean, my mind, I just -- >> Liam: I know, I know.

I'm right there with you.

It's crazy.

[ Baby cries ] >> Hope: Yeah.

But, wait, this is all starting to make sense.

You remember when Flo found out that she was a Logan, and her

mother Shauna came to town, and she didn't even know that she

was pregnant?

>> Liam: Oh, yeah, as close as they are.

Like, mother and daughter living in the same city together, there

is no way that she wouldn't have known Flo was pregnant.

>> Hope: I was wondering the same thing, too, but Flo had

some excuse, so I just let her go.

I let it go.

>> Liam: Well, and do you remember when we ran into her at

Wyatt's house?

I mean, because that was the first time that I met Flo, and

Wyatt had no idea that she was Phoebe's birth mom.

I mean, you'd think that would come up in conversation, right?

>> Hope: Yes, I -- I had completely forgotten about that.

>> Liam: But then, on the other hand, you and I both assumed

that Flo just wanted to put the adoption behind her and move on

with her life, and we just -- we had no reason to be

suspicious at that point.

>> Hope: I'm just remembering all the times that she came to

me and was so upset and so sad about losing our daughter, about

our annulment.

She even insisted that we try to have another child together.

>> Liam: She felt guilty.

>> Hope: I even walked in on her and Zoe talking about Beth.

They saw how devastated I was and they said nothing!

They let me suffer!

[ Baby cries ] >> Hope: No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's okay. It's okay. Hey.

We're not gonna think about that now, okay?

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ] >> Hope: No.

No, we will deal with them later.

[ Chuckles, sniffles ] >> Liam: We both will.

>> Hope: Now I just want to focus on our little miracle.

I want to focus on our Beth.

This whole time, she was right under our noses, and we knew.

Remember at the wedding when she crawled up to me and she called

me "Mama?" >> Liam: She knew.

>> Hope: Liam, I ended our marriage because I thought...

I thought she was gone.

[ Baby cries ] >> Hope: You're all right, baby.

>> Liam: And it didn't help that Thomas was manipulating you.

>> Hope: None of this should have ever happened.

None of this should have ever happened.

But look at us now.

[ Baby cries ] I have never been grateful to

anyone more than I am to you.

Look at us, the three of us.

All of our dreams.

It's all our dreams.

They're still ours.

We can still rebuild.

I love you so much, Liam.

>> Liam: I love you, too.

[ Baby cries ] >> Hope: [ Giggles ]

>> Liam: You've never seen us do that, have you?

>> Hope: [ Giggles ] [ Crying continues ]

>> Hope: It's okay.

It's okay.

Say hi to your mommy and daddy.

Welcome to the family.

Welcome to our family.
