Beth?

I adopted B-Beth?

Yes.

No.

That's Phoebe.

She's Phoebe.

I know it's hard to take in, and it's a shock.

But it's true.

You've been raising my daughter.

All this time...

Hope was in mourning...

And your son knew!

Well, we don't know that.

Ridge, why would they lie?

All they do is lie!

He married Hope knowing that --

We'll deal with Thomas.

We'll talk to him.

Right now, I'm concerned about Steffy.

There's a lot of pain coming her way, and she doesn't deserve it.

Sally, I have to say, the changes you made in this

design, they go way above and beyond what I asked you to do.

Yeah, I-I wasn't actually sure if I went too far,

with you telling me to dig into my inner Spectra.

Um...

But, I mean, you said you wanted something daring.

Well, daring, yes, but I wanted you to stay within

the original intent of the design.

And, uh, that's exactly what you've done.

And a hell of a lot faster than I expected.

This is terrific.

What a wonderful job. Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You really been throwing yourself into your work lately,

haven't you?

Yeah.

It's been a nice distraction, given my social life is coming

to a screeching halt.

Well, whatever the reason, you're a valuable asset

to this company, I'll tell you that.

Thank you.

Praise from Eric Forrester.

I should go through breakups more often.

You don't have to pretend it doesn't hurt.

I can see how much you miss Wyatt.

I can see how much you still love him.

For what it's worth,

I'm sorry that you and Wyatt didn't work it out.

Well...

Who needs a man when you got designing to do, right?

There are worse things than work to immerse yourself in

after a breakup.

Yeah.

Well, don't get me wrong, I definitely spent way too much

of my paycheck at Bikini those first couple of days.

But, you know, drowning your sorrows gets old after a while.

Wallowing really isn't a part of my personality.

No, it's not.

You have way too much talent to waste on that sort of thing.

Too much talent and beauty, and just about the right amount

of your namesake's flair.

You know, I should have you write my online dating

profile.

Well, paper and pencil.

Let's get started.

Look, online or not, some -- some lucky guy is gonna --

he's gonna observe all those wonderful qualities in you.

I just...

I wish it had been Wyatt.

Ridge, we will be there for Steffy, okay?

I know this is gonna be difficult for her --

If -- If I could go back and do all of this again,

I would.

What? What?

What would you do?

You'd stop stealing other people's babies and selling

them?

Now, stop a second.

Flo did not do that.

You put a baby that didn't belong to you into my

daughter's arms and made her raise it as her own.

And with all your explanations, that's wrong.

You understand that, right?

You're messing with people's lives.

Steffy. Hope.

Oh, God.

I know this is what you wanted, the miracle you've been waiting

for, and I'm happy for you.

I'm -- I'm trying to be happy for you and Hope.

What about Steffy?

It's not fair.

We can, um...

We can do whatever genetic tests need to be done.

But...

The people involved have already admitted what happened.

Gambling debts?

Zoe's dad owed money?

And he decided that selling a baby was a fast way to

make some cash.

It's not your mom's fault.

He just knew that she was ready and willing to hand over any

amount.

That man...

he took someone else's child, a-a dead child, and he put it

in our arms, and he told us it was Beth.

He...

He brought her to me.

He lied to me.

And we grieved her.

But the truth is, she was thriving.

Because she was here the whole time.

With you and Kelly.

Safe...

and loved and cared for.

Hey.

Uh, you got a minute?

Wyatt. Eric said you'd be in

here.

What's going on?

Something happened. Uh...

Something good or something bad?

I mean, a lot of both, I guess.

Okay... What is it?

I will make you pay for this.

I promise you.

We're gonna go see our kids.

Yes, we are.

our driver's license?

Oh, I have them right here.

You're not actually gonna keep them, are you?

Oh, God, no.

Eventually we're gonna hand them over to the police.

I had given up on miracles.

I mean, how could something like this happen?

But it did.

We have our Beth.

She's back. Heh.

I'm never letting you go.

Never again.

I mean, it -- it does explain the near instant

connection we both felt to her.

From the first moment we saw her.

I remember, holding her, it was like this jolt went through me.

Yes.

'Cause you knew, didn't you?

The way you crawled up to me at that wedding,

you called me Mama...

You were just trying to find your way back to me,

weren't you?

Yeah. I love you so much.

I can't wait to take you home.

No, you're not.

That's -- That's Phoebe.

She's the little girl I've been raising.

Sh-she's the little girl I brought into my family so Kelly

could have a little sister.

You're not taking Phoebe anywhere.

You're not taking my daughter from the only home she's ever

known.

Wyatt, what is it?

It's just...

It's a -- it's a long story, and, uh...

The, uh...

Pe-people just -- they aren't what they seem sometimes.

"People" meaning Flo?

What did she do?

You can't just take Phoebe away from me.

Her life is here.

With her sister.

With her mom.

And that's me.

I'm her mommy.

We -- we can figure this out.

We can figure it out.

We can figure out why.

We just have to -- We have to do it reasonably.

Steffy...

Steffy, my daughter was stolen from me.

So you propose stealing mine?!

Just -- just take -- Can we take a breath

for a second?

This is not -- No!

This is not easy or straightforward, but -- but --

Phoebe is staying here.

Steffy, I am so grateful to you a-and to all the

care that you've given her.

But she needs -- Beth needs to come with me.

What about -- what about

fighting for our family?

A-and putting the children first?

That's what we're doing, right?

How are you just gonna yank Phoebe away from me?!

It's wrong!

What's wrong is her being apart from her mother

for months!

I know -- I know what you've been through, but we --

We have to think about Phoebe.

Please.

Beth!

Her name is Beth.

And I am thinking about her.

She needs to be with me.

I have a lot of lost time to make up for here.

But Steffy -- Steffy, I am not trying to erase you.

I would never, ever do that.

Do you understand me?

You can be as involved as -- as much as you want.

Okay? You could -- You could help with the

transition.

Transition?

Transition?!

I haven't just been her babysitter!

I'm her mom!

You are not her babysitter, and I am not

your surrogate.

So where does that leave us?

I don't know!

I don't know.

All I know is that I love her.

And Kelly loves her!

Steffy.

Steffy, they're still sisters.

No! They -- They always will be.

Phoebe needs to be raised in this home!

Beth.

Her name is Beth.

I know you're going through hell.

But you have to understand, Hope, what you're asking of me.

I'm not asking.

Liam?

We were like a family.

And now you're just walking away?

Say something for once!

Say something!

Tell her she's wrong.

Tell her not to take my baby.

Uh...

Hope and I are her parents.

And we thought that she was gone.

We thought that she was dead, and she's not.

She's here. And that's...

That's amazing.

But -- I don't want to do this to you.

I don't want to do this to you.

So...

If anybody is gonna be what it's like to have your kid taken away

from you, it's Hope and me.

So we're not gonna do that.

We're not gonna let that happen, okay?

We can work something out, right?

We -- we can -- we can find a -- Yes.

...a solution or -- Liam, but it's time for

her to be Beth again.

Steffy.

Okay. Okay.

Look at you, honey!

You have your daughter back.

You have Beth. Oh!

You -- you okay?

No!

No, I'm not!

There's no way you're taking my daughter home.

So this has to do with Flo?

Did she do something?

Look, before I get into all that, I just --

I need to apologize.

Why?

Just, I mean, the way we ended things.

Look Wyatt, you have nothing to apologize for.

Okay?

I-I betrayed your trust.

I kept a secret from you.

And I regret it.

Yeah, but I was upset.

All right? I-I just -- I don't --

I don't like secrets.

And the fact that you were keeping one for Thomas of all

people, and that it was hurting my brother --

Oh, man.

It was a mistake.

No.

People make mistakes.

I just -- I'm -- I'm saying that, now that I look back on

it, yours really wasn't -- wasn't that bad.

What are you saying?

Look, there's a lot of crazy stuff happening right now.

And -- and I will explain all of that to you.

I just -- I want you to know that I was wrong.

I-I regret the way that I ended things with us, and I'm just --

I'm sorry.

Okay. I'm confused.

What happened to high-school sweethearts reunited?

That's not happening.

So this is what?

You crawling back to me?

I just want you to know that, through all the

madness that's going on, I couldn't think of anything more

important than seeing you.

I-I'm sure you guys have questions.

Yes.

We were just with Flo and her mother.

And Zoe.

They filled us in.

It's -- it's unbelievable, what they did.

I, for one, am happy that the truth came out.

And I'm so happy for you, my sweetheart.

You have your precious little girl back.

And your family with Liam.

I'm sure you're excited to take her home.

That's not happening.

What do you mean, it's not happening?

You -- you can't just take away the baby I adopted.

There was nothing legal about that adoption.

Do you think Phoebe knows that?

All she knows is me.

She doesn't know she was stolen.

She knows her sister.

She knows this house.

Okay.

And as Liam's daughter, she will continue to know this

house, and, of course, to spend time with you.

But she's not going to be living here.

Can you just give her a moment to adjust?

Can you do that?

Ridge, a baby was stolen, and it needs

to be given back.

I mean, you must understand that, Steffy.

But we need -- We need to think about

what's best for -- It can't be just ripping her

away from the only family she knows.

Okay.

So what are you suggesting?

This is Beth.

Beth.

You gave birth to her.

My mind is...starting to catch up with me.

Can you just listen to me?

You -- you can be kind of a mother to her.

You c-- you could keep her here without uprooting her from her family.

Oh, my God, Steffy!

You can't be serious!

All she's saying is that this has been

a blow for all of us.

And...

The baby is happy, healthy, and -- and thriving here.

I am extremely grateful for everything that you have

done, Steffy.

But it is time for Beth to go home.

None of us expected this, and yet here we are.

And I have been given the impossible -- a second chance

with my child, that I was told was dead, after months of grief

and sadness, and you think I'm walking out of her without her?

No. She is exactly right where she belongs.

Where she should have been since the day she was born.

I am so thankful for the care you have given her

all this time.

But, Steffy, my daughter is finally in my arms again.

And I am not letting her go.

I'm taking my daughter.

And you dare try to stop me.
