Steffy was surprised when Hope returned for a second visit so soon after the first one. Zoe procured Reese's apartment key after he'd left it in a hospital locker. Sanchez asked for Flo's help in a case about a fake document ring. Steffy commented on how lethal the acid. When Hope insisted upon reconnecting with Flo, Zoe left the country.
Hope is looking at Douglas Forrester Henry Joseph Samiri while Thomas is talking. Steffy noted that it had become true because Thomas had signed over half of his son to Hope. Liam yelled that the months of pain Thomas had put Liam and Hope through would be seared into their minds forever, and he told Thomas not to kid himself that Hope would forgive him anytime soon. For Valentine's Day, Thorne handed Katie annulment papers and flew back to Paris. Liam was aware that Thomas had given Hope what she'd wanted, but he wanted Thomas to know that he was onto Thomas. Wyatt sought Sally out to apologize for the way they'd parted.
Liam, under the influence of a drug Thomas had sneaked into Liam's drink, upset Hope with his unusual behavior at the beach party. Steffy was nervous about Hope's unseemly attachment to baby Phoebe, but Liam said it was the only thing bringing Hope back from the edge. After getting an angry phone call from Zoe, Reese rushed back to town to try to contain the situation. Liam and Brooke failed to talk Hope out of her wedding, and Hope walked down the aisle to marry Thomas. Brooke Logan Katherine Kelly Lang tries to end the wedding while a very intoxicated Flo Fulton Katrina Bowden has a fight with Zoe Buckingham Kiara Barnes. Brooke then says a few words and talks about how marriage is a lifelong commitment and that the foundation should be built on love. Sally remained unsure of giving in to her relationship with Wyatt, and he proposed marriage to her.
Steffy said that Ridge believed that Thomas was. Just then, Douglas burst in with a drawing Pam had helped him with. Hope held baby Phoebe and instantly felt a connection. Zoe called Thomas to stop Emma from telling Hope. Steffy was concerned about how the co-parenting would work in light of how Hope felt about Thomas. Brooke revealed to Ridge that she and Hope had mistakenly thought Hope had killed Thomas.
Thomas put Douglas up to proposing to Hope on the Fourth of July, and Hope found it hard to believe that Douglas had put the proposal together on his own. Detective Sanchez informed Ridge that the police had closed the Emma Barber case, and if Flo's victims didn't contest it, the State wanted to release Flo Fulton in an immunity agreement for her cooperation with another case. Shauna helped him to a room upstairs at the bar and cuddled with him in his sleep. Charlie confided in Hope about the hydrofluoric acid in the storage area. She decided to tell Ridge the truth. The Spencers and Forresters were blindsided with the news that Caroline Spencer had died suddenly, and the two families rallied around Thomas and his young son, Douglas. Steffy noted that Liam seemed distracted.
Denying it, Steffy replied that she knew her brother had been wrong. Justin met with Donna to find out how she felt about his plan to reunite Bill and Katie. Quinn and Eric invited Flo and Shauna to live at the mansion, and Quinn was happy to hear that Wyatt wanted to pursue Flo. Liam understands her concerns about the boy. Liam said that Hope was spending time with Beth. Liam enlisted Wyatt's help to get to the bottom of it, and Wyatt's conclusions led Liam to investigate Phoebe's adoption.
Steffy fell in love with the baby at first sight, and Taylor put a down payment on the adoption. When Hope told Thomas that they had to wait until their wedding night for sex, Thomas set Douglas up to have a nightmare that spurred Hope to move up the wedding date. The models showed off the outfits, and Thomas escorted them out of the office. Thomas obtained some pills from a friend, and at the opportune moment, he slipped one into Liam's drink. Danny divulged to Vinny that Ridge and Shauna had slept in the same room together, and Vinny messaged Thomas about it.
Thomas confronted Flo, and as he yelled at her, demanding to hear what Xander knew, Flo blurted out that Beth was alive. As Xander and Zoe lay in bed after making love, Zoe saw a photo of Wyatt and Flo on social media, and Zoe rushed out of the apartment to deal with Flo. Thomas stated that Liam was underestimating Hope's capacity to forgive. Taylor urged Reese talk about what had happened the night Beth had died. Wyatt and Flo's first date started at the pool and ended beneath the sheets in the bedroom. Douglas persisted with this proclamation that Beth was alive. He wanted to know what happened.
Steffy said it was a bonus to see Beth, but Steffy was there to talk to Hope. Big returns, a major recast, and a surprising exit in. Liam tracked Hope down at Forrester, where Thomas had taken her to meet a helicopter departing for parts unknown. Wyatt bumped into Flo and was amazed to see his high school sweetheart again. .
