>> Steffy: Do you think theres a problem?

>> Taylor: No, theyll call back.

>> Steffy: Am I getting ahead of myself?

Do I want this too much?

Adoption was just an idea of mine, and now youre telling me

youve found this perfect little newborn, and...

Im already mentally putting her and Kelly in matching outfits.

>> Taylor: Oh!

It isnt wrong to get excited.

>> Steffy: Well, it isnt wrong to be careful, either.

Like, is it too premature of me to ask Amelia to come over to

watch Kelly?

>> Taylor: Theyll call back.

I know they will.

>> Steffy: If I see her...

Ill know, right?

>> Taylor: Just trust your instincts.

>> Steffy: Yeah. Ill think...

"This is a cute baby," or "This is Kellys little sister."

>> Flo: Is it warm enough?

>> Reese: Yeah, I just checked.

Here -- >> Flo: No, Ill --

Ill do it.

Come here.

>> Reese: Im not proud of what Ive done.

>> Flo: You ripped her away from her family.

You put a dead baby in her mothers arms.

>> Reese: What other choice did I have?

These animals, they were demanding money that I dont

have.

You -- you dont know what theyre capable of.

What they would do to my daughter.

>> Flo: Couldnt be any worse than what you did to that poor

mother, though.

I -- I guess you think thats different, because youre not an

"animal."

Youre a doctor.

>> Liam: Little dark in here, huh?

>> Hope: What did your father want?

>> Liam: Uh, he -- he said he had a question about

this foundation he was donating to, but really he was just

checking up on me.

Can I make you some food?

>> Hope: No, thank you.

>> Liam: You sure?

>> Hope: About vegan comfort food?

Yeah.

>> Liam: Hey, um...

Can I just...

Can I just ask...

A-are you sure this -- this photo is -- is

bringing you any comfort?

Because Id be happy to just put it away for now.

You know, at least until its not such a painful reminder.

>> Hope: Am I not forgetting fast enough for you, Liam?

Its easier for you.

You have another daughter.

I dont.

♪♪ >> Wyatt: Uh, Dad said I missed

you at the office earlier.

>> Liam: Yeah, yeah.

Come on in.

>> Wyatt: [ Clears throat ] Is, uh -- is Hope asleep?

>> Liam: No.

Actually, shes, um -- shes out walking the grounds.

She loves Brookes gardens, even in the winter.

>> Wyatt: Yeah.

>> Liam: She loves me, too, although you wouldnt know it

from today.

>> Wyatt: What?

I mean, are you two...?

>> Liam: No, were -- Were good. Were fine.

Its -- shes...

Shes angry.

But not with me.

>> Wyatt: Right.

I mean, shes hurting.

Youre both hurting.

And thats [Scoffs] completely understandable.

>> Liam: Yeah, its not really the same, though.

I mean, she -- Beth started out as a part of

Hopes body.

You know, the air she breathed was for Beth.

The food she ate was for Beth.

I think Hope is -- shes looking for some kind of

closure, you know?

Like a -- like a sign that Beth is looking down,

letting go.

But theres no sign.

>> Reese: Have you ever felt...

trapped?

Cornered with no way out?

I made a bad choice.

But thats because there were no good ones.

And youre right -- what -- what makes my daughter

more important than that beautiful little baby that

youre holding in your arms?

Nothing, except that shes mine.

and Im the one who put her in harms way.

This way, they both can be safe if we follow through with this.

>> Flo: What about the mother who thinks her baby died?

Wheres her safety?

What does she get?

Other than a whole life of second-guessing herself and

wondering what she did to be punished.

>> Reese: If -- if Zoe would have died that night, or was

hurt in some way that I cant even think about, would you

call that justice?

No.

Whats done is done.

That is not an excuse.

That is a fact.

The best that I can do for that grieving mother is to find her

baby a good home.

And thats what Taylors daughter will do.

Youll see that when you meet her.

If youll meet her.

Look...

Baby, I cannot do this without you.

>> Flo: Okay.

>> Reese: Thank you.

[ Cellphone rings ] >> Steffy: Is it...?

>> Taylor: Yeah.

Hello?

We were starting to wonder.

>> Reese: Will you and Steffy be able to come by this afternoon?

>> Taylor: This afternoon?

Yes, that could be arranged.

>> Taylor: Thank you so much for coming to help us today.

>> Amelia: Of course.

>> Taylor: Yeah, I just gave Kelly her bath.

If I could just find that little onesie with the elephants on

it...

Elephants are a sign of good luck, you know.

>> Amelia: I know where it is.

Ill go get her dressed.

>> Taylor: Okay. Thank you.

>> Amelia: Okay.

>> Taylor: Amelias here.

>> Steffy: Oh, great.

Do I look okay?

>> Taylor: Oh, my goodness.

Are you kidding?

Honey, you havent asked me how to dress since you were 8.

>> Steffy: Mom, I just want to look good.

>> Taylor: Okay.

You look fine. You look fine.

>> Amelia: Hey, Steffy.

>> Steffy: Oh, Amelia.

I-I dont know how long were gonna be.

This could be really quick -- we could be in and out -- or it

could take quite some time.

>> Amelia: Should I wish you luck?

Oh, your mother said something about good luck.

>> Taylor: For Kelly.

>> Steffy: Oh.

>> Taylor: A little luck wouldnt hurt any of us.

>> Flo: Hey.

Where are you going?

>> Reese: Flo, weve discussed this.

Taylors daughter knows my daughter.

>> Flo: So what?

Whats -- whats the problem?

>> Reese: Theres too much of a connection.

My name cant come into it at all.

>> Flo: But Taylor already knows you.

>> Reese: Yes.

And shes agreed -- this is the way that it has to be.

>> Flo: [ Scoffs ] >> Reese: Look...

Its all in your hands now.

>> Reese: Zoes safety, mine, that little girl.

Never in my life have I trusted anyone like this.

>> Flo: Is it safe for me to trust you?

>> Reese: Flo...

>> Flo: Youre not gonna fly off to London and just leave me

stuck with this kid, are you?

>> Reese: My daughters life depends on what I do next.

I cant run from that.

>> Wyatt: All right, well, look, maybe I should, uh, get going,

huh?

>> Liam: You know you dont have to be gone

by the time Hope gets back?

She loves you, Wyatt.

>> Wyatt: I-I know. I just...

Be honest with me here.

Like, what do you think is best for her?

For you guys, you know?

To stay away?

Cause I-I can do that.

>> Liam: No. No. Not that.

I dont think isolation is good for her.

Me, either. I mean... [ Scoffs ] I mean, besides being your

usual, loveable, dumb self, I think -- I think the most

important thing is just not bringing up having

another child around her.

>> Wyatt: Of course. Yeah.

>> Liam: Or adoption. [ Sighs ] >> Wyatt: Wh-why would

that even come up?

>> Liam: Because Steffy is thinking about adopting a sister

for Kelly.

>> Wyatt: What?

Oh, my -- Did -- Like, does Hope know that?

>> Liam: Oh, yeah. She knows.

Uh, what she doesnt know is that theres already

a particular baby Steffy is interested in.

[ Knock on door ] >> Taylor: Florence!

>> Flo: Hi. Come on in.

Come on in.

>> Taylor: Thank you.

>> Flo: So good to see you again.

And this -- this must be your daughter.

>> Steffy: Uh, y-yes. Steffy.

Thanks for making the time to see us.

>> Flo: Oh, Ive got nothing but time until my little girl

finds a home.

>> Steffy: This must be really hard for you.

I hope I would have the strength to do for my daughter

what youre doing for yours, if that was the case.

>> Flo: Oh, I dont -- I dont know if its strength,

exactly.

>> Taylor: Maybe its love.

>> Flo: Love does make us do things we never

thought we would.

>> Zoe: So youre not even gonna have a coffee?

>> Reese: Uh, two cups makes me too jumpy.

Look, Im -- Im -- Im sorry, but I may have a patient

emergency brewing.

>> Zoe: Oh, that early delivery?

>> Reese: Late.

Long overdue.

I-if I get this text, Im gonna have to leave.

>> Zoe: [ Scoffs ] Okay, so, if youre not hungry,

and you dont have enough time for a meal...

>> Reese: Mm-hmm.

>> Zoe: ...then why did you want me to meet you here?

>> Reese: Because you are the light of my life, and I can only

go so long without the light of my life.

>> Zoe: Mm-hmm.

>> Reese: Um...

Whatever happened to you getting the German shepherd?

Yeah. I distinctly remember you saying you were gonna get a

German shepherd.

>> Zoe: Okay. Nice try.

But youre the one who had this sudden worry about me living

alone.

What am I gonna do with a big dog?

Okay? Im not home all day.

>> Reese: Take it to Forrester.

>> Zoe: Yeah, because that will go over big.

[ Scoffs ] >> Reese: Hey, its against the

law for a girl to be mad at her father for worrying.

>> Zoe: [ Chuckles ] >> Reese: Oh, no.

Its a real thing.

Its an American law.

>> Zoe: Mm-hmm.

>> Reese: Mm-hmm.

>> Zoe: Yeah.

>> Reese: [ Laughs ] >> Zoe: You seem better.

Are you?

>> Reese: [ Sighs ] I never want to live through

anything like I did that night on Catalina, but...yeah.

I guess there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

>> Zoe: Good.

>> Wyatt: So, you lose a child, and then Steffy goes,

"Oh, Im adopting"?

>> Liam: No, no, no, no.

It -- it wasnt like that.

I mean, Steffys been thinking about it for a while.

>> Wyatt: Even -- Even while Kelly was just about

to have, like, another half-sister?

>> Liam: Yeah, but -- but you know there was all that

friction, and it was starting to seem more and more like the two

girls might not have a close relationship in the future.

>> Wyatt: Friction between your wife and your ex-wife.

Yeah, I know this.

You dont have to draw a finger-painting.

>> Liam: Exactly. Which -- Which is -- thats the closeness

that Steffy was longing for for her daughter, for Kelly,

because, you know, thats what Steffy had growing up with

Phoebe.

Thats why adoption came up.

>> Wyatt: Oh, my God.

Okay, so, when -- when are you gonna tell Hope

that Steffy already found someone?

>> Liam: Not until I have to.

>> Wyatt: In the state shes in...

>> Liam: I know.

>> Wyatt: Dude, that -- that might set her back.

>> Liam: I know.

>> Steffy: My mom says youre not from here?

>> Flo: No. I, uh -- I went out to Las Vegas

a few years ago, and never came back.

Not because I struck it rich or anything, I just, uh --

Its just cheaper to live there, so...

>> Steffy: So, are you, um -- Are you planning on staying

here?

>> Flo: No. Vegas is home.

Its where everyone knows me, and I have work, so...

>> Steffy: Is that where your babys father lives?

>> Flo: I wouldnt know anymore, actually.

Its just -- thats kind of how he wanted it.

>> Steffy: No, no. Im -- Im sorry.

>> Flo: No, its fine.

>> Steffy: I shouldnt have said anything.

Do you have any questions for me?

I mean, you dont really know me, or what kind of home Id be

giving your daughter.

>> Flo: No. Your -- Your mom said so much about you

already.

>> Taylor: All good things.

>> Steffy: Okay. Um...

Okay, well, uh, I have an executive position over at my

familys company.

I get to pick my own hours.

I-I can work from home.

Im sure my mother told you, but I -- I have a daughter

myself, just like you.

Actually, I can show you a picture.

Here. Shes really adorable.

>> Flo: Oh! Oh, shes beautiful.

>> Steffy: Yeah.

Yeah, thank you.

I had a sister.

We were twins, actually.

We were really close.

I want my daughter to have that kind of closeness.

[ Baby cries ] >> Flo: It sounds like someone

wants to meet you.

>> Steffy: Oh!

>> Flo: Ill, uh, just go grab her.

>> Steffy: Okay.

>> Reese: Oh, no. Im sorry.

Theres been some kind of mistake.

>> Zoe: Uh, no, there hasnt.

Youre going to eat.

>> Reese: Well... Okay.

But only because you ordered something that I happen to like,

so...

>> Zoe: Mm. Accident?

>> Reese: Mm-hmm.

>> Zoe: I think not.

>> Reese: [ Chuckles ] >> Zoe: So... [ Sighs ]

Have you been seeing someone?

A therapist, I mean.

>> Reese: [ Chuckles ] You think your dads gone around

the bend?

>> Zoe: Well, Im worried you might if you dont seek some

counseling for this horrible thing thats happened to you

and Hope Spencer.

And the baby she lost.

What?

Do you want me to order you something different?

>> Reese: No. No, no, no.

Hey, I -- I just love you so much.

And I want you to know that.

Okay, come on.

>> Liam: Hey.

Wyatt was here.

>> Hope: Yeah, I saw him leave.

Im [Sighs] glad that you have someone to talk to.

I feel like Im f-failing at that, too.

>> Liam: No -- no, youre not.

I love you.

>> Hope: Im sorry.

[ Inhales sharply ] >> Liam: No, no. Its okay.

>> Hope: No, I love you, and the things that I said...

>> Liam: You didnt mean.

Hey.

Please dont punish yourself, cause there is more than enough

pain going around.

>> Hope: You know, if I get through this...

it will be because of you.

>> Liam: Youre stronger than you think.

>> Hope: I know you think Im holding on to all this pain and

hurt, Liam, but no.

Beths memory wont leave me.

So -- So why did she?

>> Taylor: Well?

What do you think?

>> Steffy: About Florence?

Its kind of hard to say.

>> Taylor: We can walk out of here right now if you want.

>> Steffy: No, no, no. No.

She seems sweet.

Real.

>> Taylor: Thats how she struck me, too.

>> Steffy: [ Sighs ] I guess Im just surprised.

Like, her lack of curiosity.

She didnt ask me any questions.

>> Taylor: I was already here, remember?

Honey, I asked her a lot of questions.

I talked you up.

I asked her everything I could about the babys health.

>> Steffy: So no red flags?

>> Taylor: No.

No, but thats something you have to make up

your own mind on.

And remember, youre not adopting Florence, all right?

Just...reserve judgment until you hold that little child

in your own arms, and then youll know.

>> Steffy: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Flo: So...

You remember Taylor, dont you?

And the other lady over there, her name is Steffy.

>> Steffy: Ohhh!

Look at you!

>> Taylor: Oh, what an angel.

>> Steffy: Hey, darling.

>> Taylor: Oh, she -- >> Steffy: [ Gasps ]

>> Taylor: I told you she was so beautiful.

>> Steffy: Yeah, but shes -- Shes beautiful. My gosh.

Look at her!

>> Taylor: Mm.

>> Steffy: Look at that face!

>> Taylor: She cant take her eyes off you.

>> Steffy: [ Laughs ] >> Flo: Do you want to hold her?

>> Steffy: Y-yea-- Uh, oh, yeah.

I would love to.

Hi, there. [ Gasps ] Hi.

Oh, my goodness!

>> Flo: You got her?

>> Steffy: Oh, my goodness!

Mom...

Hi.

Oh!

Oh, you beautiful little girl.

Just like Kelly.

Ive been waiting for you.

Thinking about you.

[ Chuckles ] [ Voice breaking ] And now

here you are.

Oh!
