>> Liam: Hey.

Steffy, wake up.

Come on. Wake up.

Hey, can you hear me?

Come on. Wake up. Steffy.

Steffy, wake up.

>> Thomas: All right, we'll throw the ball around a little

bit more when you get back.

All right, Douglas?

>> Douglas: Okay, Dad.

>> Hope: And stay where we can see you, okay?

I love you.

>> Douglas: Okay, Mommy.

I love you, too.

>> Thomas: Oh, it never gets old.

>> Hope: What?

>> Thomas: The love and devotion you feel for our son.

>> Hope: What gave it away?

>> Thomas: That adoring look in your eyes.

>> Hope: Well, I love that little boy.

Thomas, if I never got the chance to tell you this,

thank you...

for listening to all of us and doing the work on yourself

so that you can be a better father to him.

And I'm always gonna be grateful that you're letting me share him

with you.

>> Thomas: I want my son to have the best life possible,

and that means giving him every advantage in life.

So you as his mother-- that's a--it's a no-brainer.

You saw him, how happy he is, how well he's doing,

and that's 'cause of you.

And I'm just-- I'm so grateful to you.

>> Hope: Actions speak louder than words, and you've been

making an effort, and Douglas sees that, and so do I.

>> Thomas: Yeah. You know, thank you for, um--

well, for...

keeping the door open to forgiving me,

or, well, at the very least, moving on.

>> Hope: We're co-parenting, so we kind of have to get along

for Douglas' sake.

>> Thomas: Well, you saw the-- the amazing time he has here,

running around, playing with Beth, and--

It kind of created this amazing, beautiful environment.

And, honestly, I wish I had more time with him.

But I know. I know that...

he deserves to spend most of his time here with you--

his mother.

>> Thomas: You know, Douglas has developed

one heck of a pitching arm.

I think I wanna explore that, see where it goes.

Well, at least till basketball season starts.

>> Hope: Oh, so you're a fun dad.

>> Thomas: [ laughs ] Uh, probably 'cause

I'm a big kid myself >> Hope: You know, I think

that may be the secret.

>> Thomas: You know, um, I have Douglas this weekend,

so I won't stay too long.

I mean, I'm painfully aware of how Liam feels about me,

and I don't wanna get you into any trouble.

>> Hope: Ah, you're fine.

Liam's not here.

He's off rescuing Steffy.

>> Liam: Hey, Steffy.

Oh, man.

Oh, thank God.

Okay. All right. Okay.

All right. Come on. Come on.

We need you to wake up.

This isn't funny.

Steffy.

Steffy, wake up. Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Wake up. Come on.

Hey. Yes, yes, yes.

Hey, hey, hey. Hi.

Hi. Come on. There we go.

There we go. There we go.

Open, open, open. Yes.

All right. You know, that was not cool.

You scared me half to death.

What happened?

Steffy?

Hey. [ snapping fingers ] What's going on?

♪♪♪

>> Thomas: Liam's with Steffy right now?

>> Hope: I told you he couldn't get over there fast enough.

>> Thomas: Well, obviously, you're not happy about that.

>> Hope: Well, no. I mean, considering the circumstances,

who would be?

Look, Steffy has been a constant in my relationship with Liam

pretty much since the beginning, and I've reached a place now

where I accept that, especially now that Liam

and Steffy have Kelly.

You know, he chose to marry me.

He has a family with me and Beth and Douglas. He's turned

that page to that new chapter, and if Steffy is ready

to finally do the same, I say we should let her.

>> Thomas: I--Hey, I agree.

I mean, look, Steffy does not need Liam holding her hand

for the rest of her life.

That guy's hurt her more than anyone ever has,

and I don't even know why she keeps putting up with it.

Is it love or force of habit?

But--[ sighs ] Look, it's not healthy for her.

It's not healthy for you.

You're the person that Liam has dedicated to spending

the rest of his life with.

He needs to let her go so she can move on and maybe

take the damn picture down.

>> Hope: Look, I'm secure in my relationship with Liam--

our bond, our marriage.

We're--We're in a good place.

I'm more worried about Steffy.

I mean, if anyone deserves a freaking break, it's her.

And you know what?

This handsome doctor might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

>> Thomas: I see what you did there.

>> Hope: Mm-hmm. Comedy gold in this one right here.

>> Thomas: You should go on tour. That was good.

>> Hope: Yeah.

>> Thomas: So you think what, that Liam's gonna try

and keep Steffy from moving forward with this?

>> Hope: I mean, I'm sure he's going to try. The thing is

Steffy can take care of herself.

And it must be special if she's interested in him.

I mean, it's not like she's been actively trying

to get involved.

>> Thomas: Exactly.

>> Hope: Sometimes things happen when you least expect them,

and they may come in the form of Dr. Love who just happens

to spark some--I don't know-- her attention,

and I think it's fantastic.

And, you know, honestly, I don't think he's gonna be

her doctor that much longer anyway.

>> Thomas: Huh.

>> Hope: Steffy's great.

She has her friends, her family looking out for her. She's good.

She doesn't need Liam hovering.

>> Liam: Hey.

Hey. Talk to me. You okay?

>> Steffy: [ drowsily ] Yeah.

Yeah.

I fell asleep?

>> Liam: You--You don't know?

I couldn't even wake you up, Steffy. I've never seen you

this out of it.

>> Steffy: I'm fine.

>> Liam: You're fi- Well, you're conscious,

so that's an improvement.

>> Liam: Let me help you.

>> Steffy: I can do it.

Kelly. Where's Kelly?

>> Liam: She's okay. She's fine.

Hey. She's fine. She's sleeping.

>> Steffy: No, no.

I gotta go to her.

>> Liam: Okay, what-- Are you sick? Like, what--

Do you need help?

What's going on? Nothing I just walked in on right now

is normal, and you're freaking me out.

So if you need me to take you to the hospital, tell me, Steffy.

>> Hope: [ sighs ] I don't know. I mean, maybe

I am having the wrong reaction.

>> Thomas: No.

A reaction's how you feel.

It can't be wrong. It just is.

>> Hope: Well, there is a lot of history there.

Steffy and I have fought over Liam for years,

and he has chosen her more than once, so...

I guess I do have some personal investment

in Steffy moving on.

>> Thomas: So...

>> Hope: [ sighs ] So...I don't know.

Maybe Liam does have a point about the doctor,

and I just don't wanna see it.

>> Thomas: No. I'm sorry. No, Liam is doing what Liam does,

and that's trying to control you and Steffy in the nicest way

possible.

Steffy does not need Liam policing her personal life.

She needs him to back up and let her live her life.

>> Hope: Tell me how you really feel.

>> Thomas: I'm sorry.

You know what? This whole thing has always really bothered me--

how he just holds on to you and Steffy. I mean, look,

he's--he's-- he's made a decision

to be with you and your family.

Okay? He needs to stick to that and leave Steffy alone.

>> Hope: When you're right, you're right.

>> Thomas: Look, Steffy...

has gone through so much as it is. I mean,

she had her child, the one that she thought

was hers, taken away from her and given to her actual mother,

which was you.

And then Liam's gone.

And she's there in her house alone. Okay?

And she's trying to pretend like it doesn't matter.

Is she just burying herself in work and trying to follow

Kelly around and acting like an emotional life doesn't matter.

And then to top all that off, Bill, with his ridiculous

spray tan, comes along, and hits her

while she's on her motorcycle.

And so on top of the emotional pain that she's dealing with,

now she's got this immense physical pain.

>> Hope: And cue hunky doctor.

>> Thomas: Yeah. Right on time as far as I'm concerned.

Because...

You know, I hope this guy is-- is the man of Steffy's dreams,

because she deserves joy.

She deserves to be with someone and not someone

that she's just pining after for a history that's long gone,

you know. She needs--[ sighs ] She needs to move forward.

She deserves better than that.

And just so you know, that's what I told Liam.

I told him that Steffy, she needs to move on,

and he's gotta back off.

And if you're angry with that, then, you know, I'm sorry.

>> Hope: No.

No. I feel the same way.

>> Thomas: Then you need to tell Liam.

He actually listens to you.

Tell him just how wrong and inappropriate it is

for him to keep sticking himself into Steffy's life like this.

That it's disrespectful to you.

'Cause it is.

You know, if Liam actually wants to help Steffy,

the best thing he can do is stay away from her.

>> Steffy: Thanks for the water.

>> Liam: Yeah, of course.

You feeling a little more with it?

>> Steffy: Yeah.

>> Liam: So, you wanna tell me what happened?

>> Steffy: [ sighs ] I already did. I fell asleep.

>> Liam: [ scoffs ] No.

It was more than that.

Steffy, you're a really light sleeper, and I couldn't

even wake you up. I mean, Kelly was in the nursery,

and the baby monitor was just sort of tossed to the side.

>> Steffy: I don't know.

Maybe I must have...

gotten tired.

>> Liam: What--What do you mean maybe you must have?

Like, do you not-- do you just not remember?

>> Steffy: Of course I remember, Liam.

>> Liam: Doesn't really sound like it.

>> Steffy: Why are you making such a big deal out of this?

I fell asleep on the couch.

It happens all the time.

I don't even know why you're interrogating me.

Why are you even here?

>> Liam: [ scoffs ] Well, I was gonna try

to have a conversation with you, but clearly--

>> Steffy: About what?

>> Liam: Are you even up for this right now?

Because I would need you to actually hear me.

>> Steffy: Okay, say what you're gonna say, Liam.

>> Liam: Oh, my God.

All right. Fine. Fine.

I'm concerned about you and this doctor.

>> Steffy: What about him?

>> Liam: Well, he's obviously attracted to you, and that

kind of creates a problem.

>> Steffy: Oh, whoa.

Are you--Are you serious right now?

Are you telling me who I can and cannot see?

>> Liam: I'm not telling you who you can--Listen.

As a suitor, I'm sure he's just peachy, okay?

It's as your doctor that I don't trust him right now.

>> Steffy: Well, you don't have to. He's my doctor,

not yours.

>> Liam: And he wants to be more than that, doesn't he?

>> Steffy: So what if he does?

What's it to you?

>> Liam: Are you kidding me right now?

Is that even a serious question?

It affects his judgment, Steffy.

And you're the mother of my child. Sorry.

I happen to care about you.

>> Steffy: Yeah. One of them.

>> Liam: Don't do that.

Don't do that.

You and Kelly are my family, and you always will be.

>> Steffy: Kelly and I are just fine.

>> Liam: Kelly is just fine.

You, I'm not so sure about.

You are not acting like yourself,

and I don't want your recovery in the hands of somebody

who can't be objective about your treatment, Steffy.

>> Steffy: Oh, my God!

I'm done with this.

I am done hearing this.

I'm done.

>> Liam: What are you talking about?

>> Steffy: "I'm worried about you, Steffy. I'm

looking out for you, Steffy."

Like, I'm done. I'm over it.

Can you leave?

I don't even need you.

I don't need you anymore.

I don't need anyone.

I am fine.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

>> Hope: You know, one of the many things

I love about Douglas is his imagination.

I mean, he can play just as well by himself as he can

with his sisters or his friends.

>> Thomas: Douglas is happy, you know. He's well-adjusted.

That's 'cause of you.

It's 'cause of how you prioritize his wants

and his needs.

Douglas and I are both better off

having you in our lives.

And if I don't say it enough, thank you.

>> Hope: Well, Douglas is my child now, too, and I just--

I'm doing what any mother would.

>> Thomas: Not exactly, but...

we'll just leave it at that.

>> Hope: You know, you have a big influence on him, too.

>> Thomas: It hasn't always been positive.

>> Hope: You know, Douglas adores you.

It's like all that stuff had never even happened.

And what you said earlier about Steffy and all

the suffering she's been going through,

I agree.

In spite of the years of the ups and downs and

everything we've been through, I want her to find happiness.

And if the way she looks at this doctor is any indication,

I think he might have the potential

to help her get there.

You know, get over the physical pain

from the accident and move on emotionally as well

with her life.

And Liam-- he doesn't need to get involved.

>> Steffy: I don't need you babysitting me. I'm fine.

>> Liam: This is not you.

Combative. Defensive.

Steffy, something is wrong, so just tell me so I can help you.

>> Steffy: You know what's wrong? You, Liam.

Coming into my house and questioning me

like you're the police when I've done nothing

to deserve it.

>> Liam: You're-- You're in denial, Steffy.

Do you know that you were out cold on the couch

with Kelly in the house?

>> Steffy: I took a nap.

My ears are trained to the monitor.

Was something wrong when you barged in?

Was she screaming?

Was she hurt? Was she crying?

>> Liam: No, thankfully.

>> Steffy: Then what the hell, Liam. Get off my case.

Let me be.

>> Liam: You know--[ scoffs ] I care about you so much,

and the grief you're giving me is like--

>> Steffy: Oh, whatever.

Go home to Hope.

Get out of here.

>> Liam: Okay, I gotta ask you an important question,

so I need you to be honest with me.

Are you still taking those pills?

>> Steffy: What pills?

>> Liam: The pain meds your doctor prescribed.

Did he give you more?

>> Steffy: The doctor refused, remember?

>> Liam: Okay, so you're not on any medication right now.

That's what you're telling me.

That that has nothing to do with what just happened here.

>> Steffy: Oh, my God.

Stop with the questions.

You know, you need to leave.

Can you go?

>> Liam: What? Why-- Why are you making this

so difficult, Steffy?

>> Steffy: I am?

Ha-ha.

>> Liam: Clearly, you're hiding something from me.

Clearly, you are not being honest with me,

and you think I'm just gonna, like, let that go?

>> Steffy: Okay, so now you're calling me a liar?

>> Liam: Yes, Steffy.

I don't like this feeling of not trusting you,

but, yeah, I don't buy this bluff for a second.

You are withholding something from me, and I'm pretty

damn sure I know what it is now.

>> Steffy: Are you still here?

Leave.

>> Liam: This is the-- My daughter lives here, Steffy.

My daughter lives here, and if you are abusing

prescription medication here-- >> Steffy: There's no pills

in the house, Liam.

There's no pills in the house.

>> Liam: All right, then you won't mind me looking.

>> Steffy: What are you-- What are you--

What are you doing?

There's no pills in that.

Liam, stop.

>> Liam: Oh, yeah?

No pills in the house, huh?

>> Steffy: It's nothing there.

Stop. Liam.

No, Liam. Liam, Liam, no, no, please, please.

Please, don't, don't, don't.

Liam, no. Stop.

Can you not do that?

>> Liam: I asked you for your honesty.

I said, are you taking pills?

You said no.

I said, are the pills in the house? You said no.

You're lying to me.
