Thomas's broody mood only worsens when model Summer reminds him of their steam-room date, when Brooke mistakenly though he wanted her in with him. So questioned by Stephanie, he answers he starts to doubt if a true soul-mate is out there, like Brooke for Ridge. Liam and Hope tell Bill viz. Broke about Amber's bombshell, that she's proven pregnant and maintains Liam is the father. Each parent insists to come along and help trying to make Amber retract, but she stands her ground. Bill calls Dr. Ramon Montgomery to urgently arrange a paternity test.

Liam and Bill are about to leave assuming Amber's paternity test refusal proves her claim a greedy ploy. Mother Tawny Moore arrives, bickers for show and quickly 'convinces' Amber to accept the test. Only afterward she learns cahoot Carl Ferret isn't on duty in Dr. Ramon Montgomery's lab but stuck with a broken-down car, so she must rush to get him there. Thomas meanwhile graciously accepts to visit Stephanie's café and be inspired to design a unisex t-short for them.

Bachelor gentleman Thomas finds Dayzee's impertinent directness refreshing enough, comparing to constantly 'auditioning' models, to take an amused interest in her. While Liam's party is confident the paternity test will prove him not having had sex with Amber, Carl Ferret manages to doctor the results so as the suggest the contrary, but Tawny fears the envelopes containing the two versions may have been mixed up.

Bill won't accept the DNA paternity test result, but Dr. Ramon Montgomery makes clear it's already double-checked. So Bill intends to buy off Amber, but Liam isn't convinced whether he shouldn't rather step up as father. tawny still hasn't quite convinced Amber that financial security for the baby justifies upsetting good people's lives. Thomas decides on a gold t-design for the coffee-shop.

Liam still refuses to believe he could have had sex with Amber, yet refuses to shy away from his paternal duty if her baby is his. Bill tells him he'll take care of it, however bitter that tastes. Amber and especially tawny expected a fat bribe, but get lectures and grim threats. Dominic is stunned when informed of Liam's predicament. Brooke pleads that Hope should reconsider her commitment to Liam now Amber is believed to carry his child.

Bill is furious when Amber waves a $500,000 bid, promising she'll learn the cost of braving him. But he's called away by Katie to visit the Malibu beach house for sale Nick learned about from a neighboring friend. Steffy, back from Paris, assures Hope no longer to be after LA boys and agrees Amber must have set up Liam.

Oliver asks Hope if she can stay with Liam as the baby forces him, or them, to take Amber in the bargain. While the rest of the Forrester clan welcomes Steffy home, Thomas calls Dayzee to propose lunch. Liam goes to Amber's, questioning her motives but promising not to bail out of 'his' child. When she tries to get the heating up outsize, it explodes with Liam still in the trailer.

After the trailer is lightened by the gas explosion, Amber pulls out unconscious Liam and calls an ambulance. Frolicking in bed, Ridge and Brooke agree Amber isn't to be envied, having aroused Spencer's intemperate fury. Indeed, shocked Bill's rage doesn't settle even after the diagnosis is relatively encouraging, even suggesting Amber's mad plans may have included murdering his heir all along.

Liam hasn't woken up in hospital. LAPD detective lieutenant Baker reports there's no evidence of arson, however certain Bill expected some. Dolinck calls Bill to finalize the sale of the Malibu beach-house, warning fairly about the dangerous cliff, which inspires Bill to dream of pushing Amber over it. Hope finds Amber weeping guiltily at Liam's bedside, but still can't worked out her plot.

Thomas prepared a home-cooked steak barbecue for Dayzee, who still feels 'trapped' as she only come to pick up the diner t-shirts he designed. Ridge and Brooke retreated to their bedroom to give darling son space, yet can't resist after speculating if he found a serious lover can't resist peeking.

Ridge is also pleased when excited spy Brooke reports Thomas is dating Dayzee, but warns it's very early day. In fact she remains aloof, suggesting to remain loyal to Marcus despite his Paris posting, yet ends up engaging in a hot kiss. Bill seriously contemplates arranging for Amber to fall to her death for ruining Liam's life.

Dr. Ramon Montgomery's hope comes trough when Liam wakes up while Hope is with him, so they con reaffirm their love while wondering how to square it with his paternal duty. Nick tells Oliver not to give up on former stepdaughter Hope anyway. Owen and Jacqui resent Nick's embarrassment over their physical affection in the office. Bill sets his plan in motion by offering delighted but suspicious Amber free use of the beach house.

Dr. Ramon Montgomery is now optimistic about Liam's recovery. Oliver insists, bearing a musical gift, which is graciously received, yet Liam suspects him of lurking till he can snatch Hope back. Bill corners Amber near the cliff. Steffy assures Brooke no longer to aim at Hope's boyfriends, but admits resuming her business-vindictive feud against the Logans, never mind Stefanie's reconciliation.

Dr. Ramon Montgomery isn't happy with traumatized Liam's slow rehab but can't convince Bill to consider psychological help yet. Bill is ready to push Amber over the cliff when equally unsuspecting Steffy's arrival forces him last minute to hold back. Thomas banters with 'love rival' Marcus, disputing whether Dayze is fair game. Ridge warns Brooke, in between frisky fun and worrying if even he can control Steffy's vindictiveness, not to consider Thomas's love life anywhere near a done deal yet.

Love-coached by father Ridge, who maintains all girls want to be romantically swept away, Thomas invites Dayzee on the Forrester private jet for a dazzling San Francisco soirée, cleverly tuning down just a bit. Impressed and surprised, she accepts. Steffy tells Stephanie she's no longer interested in 'boys', nor Parisians, calling Bill her ideal 'real man'.

Liam is released home, but remains weak, dizzy and desperate, worse then he or Bill can bear when the wounded boy weeps on his shoulder. Hearing a storm rage and his family wondering if he had to put up pregnant Amber in the newly bought beach-house, Bill resolves to use it as cover for her fatal fall over the cliff. On the private jet flight, Thomas coaxes Dayzee with sandwiches rather hen caviar and by holding hands during the flight phases that scare each in turn.

Liam tells Hope he wants to share their lives but not make her wait u-endlessly after the baby is born. Bill sneaks into his beach-house and lures Amber to the balcony edge with her cellphone. The plan works, but then arrives Steffie, whom Amber phoned to tell her designer handbag was left in the beach-house.

Liam is deeply moved by Bill's promise to do anything for his only son, yet desperate to have no control over his own life. Oliver does a photo-shoot with Ridge, who suggests Hope may be within reach again as Liam seems honor-bound to step up as Amber's baby's father, as she indeed sadly confirms to Brooke. Bill didn't have to push Aber as a falling tree branch knocked her over he edge. But admirer Steffie arrived in time to find her hanging, rescues her and believes that Bill pushed her.

Bill spares no effort to convince Steffy they're both better off if they tell the police neither was in the beach-house when Amber fell to her death. He refutes her insinuation that he planned such a murder all along, apparently to no avail. Then, instead of the police he expected, arrives healthy Amber, who thanks Steffy for saving her and cheerfully asks Bill to have balcony and WiFi fixed. Marcus takes his goodbyes before returning to Paris, assuring his folks he has no romantic plans in LA.

Thomas enjoys fitting for his next collection and Brooke's encouragement. Taylor, whom Ridge just convinced to temper her worries, overhears them mentioning the secret of the single inappropriate kiss aboard the flight back from Paris. Bill contemplates how to save Liam from Amber's trap.

Oliver seizes his chance, after Brooke slips away from a photo-shoot whispering encouragements, to start wooing Hope again, now Liam seems out of the picture, smartly rekindling fond memories. Thomas needs some encouragement preparing his next campaign and easily convinces Ridge that he and Brooke should hit Milan. He's appalled when Taylor comes see Thomas about the Paris return flight kiss, raging on about serial Forrester men eater Brooke, even calling it worse when he retorts the initiative was his alone and meaningless, unintentional.

Thomas and Brooke hope that Taylor won't tell Ridge about their airplane kiss, or at least will be dismissed for exaggerating and having cried wolf too often. In fact only dismisses her demand to close the Taboo collection altogether. Brooke is told he's bitterly disappointed, far more then by Thomas's error judgment, by his wife's secrecy despite earlier promises. Stephanie seems not very receptive to Taylor's demand too join her cause against man-eater Brooke again.

Ridge duly scolds Brooke's promise-breaking secrecy, but seems not to question their marriage as he threatened earlier. After cheekily encouraging Pamela taking over Dayzee's gift package for Marcus, Thomas confidently confronts Ridge. His cocky claim to have done nothing wrong and just being a chip of his father's block backfires, as Ridge calls him immature and disrespectful, then notifies his intent to shut down the Taboo line. Stephanie is appalled by Brooke and Taylor's bickering but concludes Brooke is up to her old siren tricks and refuses to see her anymore.

Thomas tries to convince Ridge that punishing him for being like his father is unfair and shutting down taboo is disproportional and a huge business mistake, to no avail. He duly blames Taylor's paranoia and convinces secretary-model ex Madison to delay Ridge's memo and fail to cancel the scheduled press conference, mumbling Ridge can get war if he wants it. Brooke fails to patch thing up with Ridge or either of the ladies who claim she'll never overcome her man-eater instinct.

Thomas realizes that Ridge is serious about the business absurdity of shutting down his men's line Taboo, which even Eric and Thorne don't know yet. Rather then scolding Taylor, he enigmatically tells her to wait how Ridge and she will feel by evening. He arranges for the press conference to go trough and announces a grand international tour, possibly even with a women's line. Only then Ridge, whom Madison informed, arrives.

Ridge realizes Thomas beat him to the punch and simply pulls him and Brooke, who only added vagueness about the details of their announced Taboo promotion tour, away after the press conference, only to be told he had no right as CEO to make such a monumental business error in excessive reaction to a family concern. Brooke stands by that vision, even now Ridge's shocked confidence may compromise their marriage, as Stephanie and Taylor expect. Whil still unsuspecting Eric sooths the press about Ridge's conspicuous absence as a difficult phase in letting the next ...

Although still weak and shaky, Liam rejoins Bill's office. After Jarrett reports about the Taboo press conference and lost memo, they brainstorm what might have happened and Liam's guess comes close. Bill wants to print a near-liable scoop on a rift in Forrester, but Liam convinces to hold back to spare Hope, at least until they know more. Brooke convinces Ridge to reconsider at least until after an emergency trip to France. Thomas fells it's no good, but Dayzee pleads not to compromise his relationship with his father, which she never had, and appreciate parental ...

Ridge leaves for France, with Taylor who argues not canceling Taboo would 'amount to child abuse', so Brooke's hope he'll come round seems dubious. Thomas is delighted that Eric, once the family learns what happens, not only sides with him but offers, nay, asks 'permission' to contribute designs to a Taboo woman's line. Oliver and Hope behave as close buddies again.

Liam decides, to Amber's delighted surprise, to visit her, admire the beach house, while she refuses to take in her mother, however lonely. Liam gingerly offers to help for the baby's sake, even accepts to join her for dinner, while warning he won't keep her company regularly. On the plane to France, Ridge assures Taylor his decision to close down taboo as a message to Thomas stands. Katie overhears Bill discussing 'their secret' with frisky, self-invited Steffy.

Thomas and Steffy bicker whether their relationships with Brooke viz. Bill are rather romantic or basically businesslike. Liam isn't amused that Amber planned a double date, but discovers it too late. Oliver arrives with Hope, whom he convinced last minute it's time to embrace the new reality due to Amber's baby. Katie grills Bill over his plan to dispose of Amber.

The double date dinner goes well, as civilized as Oliver and Amber hoped. Yet instead of making their desired partners accept being apart, afterward Liam takes Hope aside for hot kisses and a promise to get back together whatever it takes. Bil bitterly scolds Steffy for compromising his marriage and tells her to butt out. Indeed, Katie is reconsidering her marital commitment and seeks space aboard the yacht, which Nick starts vacating for her.

Thomas firmly stands his ground against non-supportive Steffy, who dares suggest he should give in on Taboo to avoid a rift with Ridge like she claims regretting. At the airport, Ridge and Taylor meet Brooke and Stephanie. Ridge stops the bickering over Broke's trustworthiness and takes her aside. She maintains she would do it all over as she still feels a rift with Thomas would be unforgivable. Worried, Whip inquires about Taylor's whereabouts and dealings with Ridge.

Thomas worries when he hears that Taylor and Stephanie joined Ridge and Brooke in Paris, so he asks Steffy to help him get there on Bill's private jet, which she stubbornly mistakes for evidence of a romantic interest. In Paris, Ridge surprises Brooke by deciding against a divorce and reverting the closing down of Taboo. His dashing romantic make-up has a public component, which shakes up the ladies next door.

Oli eagerly lends a comforting shoulder to Hope now Liam accompanies Amber to their baby's first ultrasound. It moves Liam more then he believed possible. Amber admits to mother Tawny the plan seems to be working out. Lab operator Carl sneaks up to Amber, reminding her he's owed payment for keeping the paternity secret, demanding cash before his rent is due.

At Ridge's return from France, Thomas is relived that divorce is off but has mixed feelings about Tabboo not being abolished but denied the budget to keep in the picture, let alone growing. Just when Hope comes reassure Liam she remains committed to him, she witnesses Amber stealing a kiss, which Liam seems to enjoy. Bill's plea to Katie that he hasn't changed except that he discovered the power of paternal love is overheard by Steffy from hiding.

Despite Liam's best efforts to convince Hope that Amber just stole a meaningless kiss from him, Hope gives him a passionate goodbye kiss and goes cry on Oliver's shoulder, convinced paternal duty wins out. Carl turns up to demand payment, but for now accepts the champagne and chocolates meant for the double date celebration. Spy Steffy alerts Bill that Kate finds suspiciously intense comfort with Nick on the yacht.

Thomas has prepared and cockily presents his women's fashion line for his Taboo label. The drawings impress Brooke, but when Ridge arrives, he calls them proof of talent but just not good enough for Forrester Creations, another prejudiced refusal in Thomas's eyes. Now Hope has broken with Liam, Amber finds him weak enough to reluctantly allow her to fondle and kiss him, claiming their baby needs to see physical proof of its parents loving each-other. Bill storming in and punching Nick for hugging Katie only makes her more reluctant to return home, so Steffy hopes it's...

However disgusted by Amber, Liam, numb after Hope broke up, allows her to kiss, undress and jump him on the couch. Thomas proudly shows Brooke the dazzling red showstopper of his woman's taboo line designs, discussing that Ridge must feel threatened to throw away such business potential. She agrees only how great the designs are and accepts his gentlemanly help to put the red masterpiece on. Triumphantly called by Amher that the way is now truly clear for both of them, Oliver tries to keep it quit for Hope, but she guesses and makes him admit, then falls in his arms ...

Oliver finds Hope's confidence in lover Liam so deeply shocked that he now dares offering most intimate support, all over the couch. While triumphant Amber and ambitious Tawny cheerfully discuss the potential profits of Liam's sexual accessibility, he's so disgusted that he refuses a repeat and storms out. He arrives at Oliver's, where he forces Hope to let him in but fails to convince her Amber's baby mustn't be the end for them.

Oliver grudgingly interrupts couch intimacy to let in rival Liam, he steals a kiss from Hope but isn't persuaded. Liam is shattered to hear that Bill's marriage is threatened too, but takes paternal advice to fight for Hope, who finally kisses him back as passionately when Liam arrives at the Forrester home, just while Oliver starts to believe Amber the bond is broken.

While Thomas waves Steffy's cocky claim Bill is ripe for the picking, Katie returns home and convinces Bill to agree to 'professional counseling'. Oliver's doubts about Amber having won Liam, despite 'first sex', are confirmed when Liam arrives for another kissing session with Hope, followed by more doubts if their love can be combined with his paternal duty.

Ridge explains to Brooke that despite Amber's fundamental guilt, it's clumsy Hope's own dumping fault if Liam was driven in her arms. Bill holds off Steffy once more while discarding marriage counseling as weakness, but calls Katie to warn he wants her back but won't ask and wait forever. Tawny visits Hope to suggest she should make friends with Amber for the baby's sake of risk loosing Liam, but Hope just scolds and chases the cheap tramp.

Ridge calls a board meeting to present hefty budget cuts, notably on Taboo, and his no to its women's line, claiming it's time to focus again on the couture core business, parading his and Eric's latest designs. Thomas however slipped in his red showstopper, which impresses all other board members. Brooke just attempts to milder the cuts, but Eric champions Thomas's Taboo cause, urging that Rideg must grant his equally talented son the seem chances and tolerance he needed from Eric to rise to prominence. Oliver is encouraged by Pam to seize his chance to regain Hope, ...

Thomas treats Dayzee to splendid golden designer dress to accompany him to an annual fashion event. Her grateful kiss clearly renders model Summer jealous. Ridge delights Brooke too by treating his son to a far render gift: 5% of the Forrester Creations shares, making the talented prince a full partner. Liam first gets more passionate kisses from Hope, then the message she forgives him for instinctively needing to get close with his baby's mother, but Hope can only get over it by going her own way too, presumably with Oliver.

Thomas feels his 5% is just the start of a meteoric rise to fame as Forrester dauphin. Liam questions Bill's lack of resolve to do whatever it takes to save his marriage. Katie discusses with her sisters whether Bill could be a dormant killer like beloved big brother Storm.

Thomas astutely questions all aspects of Steffy's reasoning that Bill is right for her and as good as divorced and dismisses her claim to be potentially just as ambitious as Forrester heir. Bill holds out against Katie's plea to seek counseling, considering therapy weakness, let alone anger management, and walks off angry that she brought along her sisters. In his office, he verbally dismisses Steffy's attempt to seduce him, but allows her to kiss anyway.

Owen and Jacqui enjoy kissing in public, to bar guests' amusement, except openly embarrassed Nick, who gets a mild lecture about demonstrative marital affection on top. Bill's shaky marriage is the talk of the town. Meanwhile he warns Steffy to remain faithful, despite her stolen kiss.

The whole Forrester family warmly welcomes Thomas to the board on account of his 5% shares, toasting champagne. The heir triumphs when Ridge also declares him his future successor as chief designer and reverts all budget cuts, even gives the go for a Taboo women's line, as proposed by Eric, although Stephanie and Steffy still oppose that idea and question the CEO's fickle attitude. The pilots dare not disturb bedroom-engaged Ridge with typhoon reports. Thomas and Brooke are delighted to be flown by corporate jet to Sydney to present Taboo to Australia. Oliver treats ...

Thomas slickly enjoys affectionate send-offs from female admirers, impressing even Brooke with his natural seductive skill, like a young Ridge, while she enjoys the original. Eric's old-fashioned reserve against the youth-focused video campaign are overruled. Bill surprises the Logans by accepting couple counseling from Taylor, but at the inaugural session dismisses its value and calls Katie having nagged him till he accepted relational blackmail. Thomas and Brooke's flight is soon rocked by the typhoon. Steffy tells Ridge she may not remain the Forrester PR chief.

When Thomas and Brooke's plane suffers typhoon-related turbulence on the course to Sydney, his gallant protective attitude surprises them both, adding to their optimistic, conspiratorial mood. In joint therapy, Bill scolds the whole idea an insulting proof that Katie is the one who rocks their marital boat and leaves indignant. Stephanie warns Steffy that if Bill shows interest, it's surely on account of her Forrester shares.

The Forrester jet crashes in the pacific, due to the typhoon. Thomas and Brooke get out, but are separated from the surviving crew and he has to dive after her. A frisky husband Whip helps Taylor handle the shock of Kate mentioning in therapy that Bill plotted a murder. Broody, Bill discusses his wife's 'treason' with Steffy, who has waved Stephanie's warning against the tycoon. While Steffy's ancestors discuss her need for 'more then PR' and wild card Brooke, Ridge gets the crash news.

Thomas and Brooke are beached on a desert Island, badly bruised and limping but in one pieces, able to seek shelter in a cave. Back home, the whole family learns about the crash, except little R.J. Eager to fly there and help search, they gratefully accept Bill's offer to use his jet. By blocking Bill's calls, Katie misses the flight.

Former boyscout Thomas is a rock of courage and optimism for Brooke, who does little more then wine and sleep in the cave. Liam and Hope join the Logan home-front, worrying about the missing pair and Bill's rescue flight, as R.J. is brought home. The Spencer jet reaches Fiji airport and the pilot is instructed to set up the airplane as base-camp on the crash-site-nearest tiny island where it can land.

Despite Thomas's handy boyscout skills, the stranded duo waits ever more anxiously to be rescued as they're out of fresh water. Bill and Steffy stay in the jet as search HQ. Ridge takes Taylor on a charter Fijian boat. The authorities report a beached up corpse, a white male, but the age suggests one of the pilots.

On the island, Thomas finds new courage by dreaming about rescue and home with Brooke, who nevertheless succumbs to the lure of berries which may well by poisonous. The Fiji captain whom Ridge chartered sticks to his search pattern, but Nick insists he knows the currents better and suggest a completely different direction. Bill pulls strings to get a far from amused general to commit satellite observation.

Hesitantly, Thomas succumbs to the lure of the berries which Brooke assures to be harmless. He feels a short nausea, then both enjoy a happy delirium, as if they discovered an island paradise to frolic in orgiastically. The rescue search continues. The home front pulls together, discarding mutual differences.

Thomas and Brooke's paradisaic dream continues, in which they feast, dance and kiss like carefree honeymooners in designer beachwear. The rescue party finds airplane wreckage, confirming Nick's currents theory. However the Fijian authorities considers the search near-hopeless and announce a major scaling-down, while more bad weather forces the captain to steam back to safety for the night. Owen and Jaqueline join the home front wake.

On the island, Thomas and Brooke wake up, sicker, with a hallucinations hangover and worrying as neither can remember what they actually did during the orgiastic 'dream'. The official search is called off, but Ridge bribes his captain to go on for five times the going rate and the boat's price if it's wrecked. Just before the military withdraws Bill's access to satellite images, those show the island, where Thomas managed to writ 'help' in the sand.

With his last energy, Thomas watches over utterly collapsed Brooke. Finally indefatigable Ridge arrives and rescues his loved-ones. The home front, where Nick admitted to supportive, optimistic Eric that he could have sent the search in the wrong direction, is quickly informed and buzzes with joy, like Bill's airplane HQ.

Utterly exhausted, Thomas and Brooke are brought aboard Rdge's boat and to Bill's airplane. Being offered berries as refreshment sends Brooke into a tearful panic breakdown which only Thomas understands. The home front starts celebrating even without details. Liam snatches Hope outside for a tender plea to return to him, but Oliver soon drags her back to the champagne party.

After thanking the Fijian rescue helpers profusely, it's Bill and his pilot's turn as the party boards his plane. Thomas talks Brooke out of confessing their orgiastic trance to Ridge for the sake of her no secrets-promise, as it would probably only burden their marriage without substantial cause, given they awoke still dressed. The others aboard agree the rescued may need therapy but will recover in time, only Ridge suspects a deeper problem. The home front agrees that only such drama makes people fully appreciate what they have, love-ones above all, even Stephen and...

A day later, the rescued couple is back home, where everyone hopes life will return to normal. For uninformed RJ, it's as if nothing happened. Taylor offers therapy. Thomas's greatest concern is keeping the orgiastic secret, but Brooke says she can't break her promise. Amber admits to Tawney to have fallen in love with Liam and considering the baby 'truly' his, not Oliver's.

Thomas is terrified when Brooke says she's going to keep her honesty promise to Ridge, but last moment she reconsiders, feeling it would only break his heart. Bill gets grateful Katie's promise to resume their marriage without therapy or any demands, but he can't forget about Steffy. Thomas makes a worrying discovery in his rescued belongings.

Despite promising sketches and a warm welcome home form Jake, Thomas can't hide being surprisingly gloomy, still haunted by the orgiastic dream. Ridge seems unsuspectingly at peace with Brooke's fickle emotions. Liam makes clear to Amber that he will only help her with the baby, maybe birth class, but not move in or give up Hope, which Tawny considers unacceptable.

Now the rescue and repatriation seem complete successes, Forrester Creations is supposed to return to normal. Whie the others think relations have only been strengthened, Thomas and Brooke remain haunted by their orgiastic trance incident and whether she can tell Ridge. Oliver promises Hope unconditional support, despite her inability to simply let Liam go. While Amber gloomily feels Liam slips back to his lover, Tawny finds his cellphone and changes Hope's number into hers, hoping to make him believe she's over him.

The Foresters and fashionistas worry about the crash again after Brooke has a public breakdown during Taboo's relaunch presentation with charitable promise. Thomas can barely convince Steganue he doesn't know what bothers his beached-up island mate. Tawny's text messages posing as Hope convince Lial that she dumped him, so he is back on kissing terms with Amber. Oliver is ready to console Hope when she can't get a call returned by Liam. Carl demands cash.

Thomas remains haunted by the orgiastic episode and the fear that Brooke may still tell Ridge. She's tempted in therapy, but Taylor ends up just referring her. After talking to Oliver, Amber feels she has given Liam unfair mixed signals and owes him another chance. Tawny however gets hold of Liam's cellphone to send more fake dumping messages. Ridge asks Dayzee to talk to Thomas intimately. Whip demands Taylor's full and intimate attention after the long rescue wait.

Ridge tries to smoothen things for the rescued pair by arranging romantic evenings. Thomas greatly enjoys an intimate dinner in style with Dayzee, but while Brooke makes love in the marital bed, the orgiastic nightmare reemerges. Neglected husband Whip protests there seems to be no end to Taylor giving priority to worrying about Thomas, Brook and Ridge, whom he even accidentally calls 'my husband' again.

Thomas greatly enjoyed his romantic dinner, yet returns to work surprisingly dull i the eyes of those who ignore he's still haunted by the orgiastic incident and the fear Broke might spill the beans, but for now she evades her sisters' questions. Bill admits to Justin that Katie may have returned home, but her betrayal of his confidence in therapy contrasts terribly with Syeffy's apparently unconditionally loving support during the rescue.

Thomas tries to resume his normal life, designing for Taboo, yet remains haunted by the orgiastic nightmare and consults a scientist friend about the berries. Whip finally gets Taylor to realize she must invest time in their marriage and consider his point of view, not just her ex and their son. Bill lets Steffy steal a hot kiss, yet stubbornly maintains he's a man of his word, even in marriage. Bickering over Stephanie's motives doesn't stop Brooke from reaching a reconciliation with her.

Thomas's college friend, a lab chemist, confirms that the island berries are extremely hallucinogenic. Taylor has eaten some, gets orgiastic visions about Ridge proposing to hear on the beach and collapses. Thomas instructs panicking Whip and the paramedics to get her to hospital for berries treatment. Ridge meanwhile patiently regains Brooke's composure and confidence, so she's finally ready to tell him all about her island trauma.

Taylor is rushed to the hospital, and Thomas reveals that the berries were responsible for her bizarre behavior and collapse. Stephanie begins to suspect what may have happened between Brooke and Thomas on the island.

Stephanie confronts Thomas about the berries and the possibility that he and Brooke had sex on the island. Brooke tells Ridge about the berries, but denies that she and Thomas made love.

Brooke convinces Ridge that the hallucinogenic berries did not cause her and Thomas to "cross the line" just before Thomas tearfully tells him that they did.

Whip sadly realizes it is over between him and Taylor, takes off his wedding ring and leaves. Ridge flies into a rage when Brooke is unable to tell him for absolute certain that she and Thomas did not have sex.

Thomas nearly decides to take back his lie until his mother tearfully reports that Whip has left her. Now he has all the more motivation to see his parents back together.

Steffy asks Thomas about the berries. Stephanie makes up an irrevocable will as part of her bargain with Thomas. Taylor confronts Brooke about her supposed island seduction.

At the Forrester home, emotions run high over the supposed seduction of Thomas, but Ridge and Taylor end up in an embrace. At Jackie M, Whip tells his colleagues about the breakup of his marriage.

Stephanie encourages Thomas to stick with his story. Steffy is surprised to see that Ridge has stayed overnight with his parents. Taylor worries about her son's dark side.

Hope and Liam learn of Tawny's scheme to intercept their text messages for Amber's sake. Steffy is outraged when she learns of Thomas's supposed sexual encounter with Brooke on the island.

James Warwick examines Brooke and concludes that Thomas must be lying. Liam kicks Tawny and Amber out of the house and then makes out with Hope.

Thomas objects to his mother's idea that he was the victim of sexual abuse. James Warwick explains why Thomas would be motivated to lie. Liam describes his hopes for his child. Brooke tells Hope what may have happened on the island.

Dayzee gives comfort to Thomas; Hope gives him grief. Steffy asks Bill if she can host The Catwalk. Jackie M prepares for another media campaign. Stephanie tells Brooke she needs psychological help.

Steffy's desire to host The Catwalk meets resistance from Katie. Stephanie disputes Hope's accusation that Thomas is lying.

Brooke has called a meeting at Forrester, but no one knows what it is about. Stephanie visits Nick to let him know that Brooke is available again.

Brooke's effort to rehabilitate her life is to set up a charitable foundation in Stephanie's name, but Stephanie objects. Jackie reminds Nick that Brooke is the love of his life.

Stephanie tells Taylor and Eric that Brooke's efforts at rehabilitation are sincere. Ridge tells Brooke he'll always love her. After Marcus comes to visit, Amber considers the possibility that he is the father of her child.

Brooke's new self-hatred infuriates Hope. Stephanie discusses Brooke's foundation idea with Nick and Taylor. Bill gives advice to Liam. Amber gives Carl a freshly plucked hair from Marcus for a new DNA test.

Liam and Hope plan a romantic trip on Bill's jet. Oliver asks Brooke if he has a chance with Hope. Amber's water breaks before Carl can finish the paternity test. Justin again asks Marcus if he is willing to take the Barber name.

Carl continues working on the paternity test as Amber goes into labor. Liam's trip with Hope on Bill's jet is over before it begins. Oliver attempts to woo back Hope.

Brooke gives Taylor her wedding ring as a reminder of what she has lost and what Taylor has gained. Carl rushes into the delivery room with the results of the paternity test just as Amber's baby starts to come out.

Marcus learns that he is the father of Amber's new baby. Justin learns that he, not Bill, is a new grandfather. Liam interrupts Oliver's marriage proposal to Hope.

Liam breaks in on Oliver and Hope at Big Bear with the news that he is not the father of Amber's baby: Marcus is. Amber rejects her mother's further attempts at scheming.

Ridge is shocked when Brooke pushes him to marry Taylor.

Brooke explains herself to a concerned Katie and Donna. In the presence of Thomas and Steffy, Ridge tells Taylor he wants to come back.

Taylor tells Ridge they can't be intimate until they marry. Stephanie delivers to Brooke the news of Ridge's proposal. Bill presses Hope for the scoop on Brooke leaving Forrester Creations and starting a foundation in Stephanie's name.

Thorne is angry about Brooke and Ridge divorcing. Hope suggests to Steffy that Thomas could be lying or wrong about what happened on the island. Taylor tells Stephanie she feels liberated and vindicated.

A guilt-ridden Stephanie is still reluctant to have her name on Brooke's charity foundation, even after persuasion from Nick, Jackie and Dayzee. Bill boots Amber out of the house and gives it to Liam. Taylor makes Steffy her maid of honor.

Taylor pays a surprise visit to Brooke. Thomas confesses to Dayzee his lie about Brooke and himself. Stephanie takes a drink to take the edge off her guilt. Liam and Hope enjoy their time together and their new freedom from worry.

Stephanie looks in the mirror and sees Brooke. Dayzee convinces Thomas to tell the truth in the morning. Brooke, Donna and Katie visit Marcus and the baby; and then Amber arrives. Hope tells Liam she wants to wait until marriage.

Stephanie is upset to hear from Thomas that he admitted the truth to Dayzee. Taylor has a bridal shower that is more of a high tea. Liam and Hope wake up happily together with her innocence still intact.

Ridge and Eric have a frank discussion of their rivalry. Brooke herself disagrees when Hope defends her to Donna and Katie. Stephanie and Dayzee spar in their attempts to convince Thomas to do what each considers to be the right thing.

The day of the wedding arrives as Dayzee continues to pressure Thomas to tell the truth, causing an ugly clash between her and Stephanie.

Taylor's wedding to Ridge begins, as Thomas's shame over his lie worsens. Brooke tries to deflect RJ's questions about why Ridge isn't home as Stephen, Hope and Liam stop by to comfort her.

Stephanie interrupts the wedding and sends all the guests into the guest house so that she and Thomas can reveal the truth to Ridge and Taylor.

Ridge and Taylor are both furious with Thomas and Stephanie for their lie and even angrier to hear of the deal the two made. Pam calls Stephen to let him know that the wedding has been delayed and advises him not to tell Brooke.

Ridge returns to Brooke and tells her that everything was a lie: she and Thomas did not have sex on the island under the influence of the hallucinogenic berries, and Thomas's recovered memory of that encounter never took place.

Ridge reluctantly leaves the room as Thomas explains himself to Brooke. Stephanie confesses to Eric that she has returned to her old habit of fighting Brooke, probably as an attempt to feel more in control as she fights cancer.

Stephanie's punishment for her misbehavior is to sing "You Always Hurt the One You Love" to Brooke and Ridge as they dine, while Eric looks on and Jackie and Owen become chance witnesses to her mild humiliation.

Eric helps Stephanie recover from her one-time experience as a chanteuse. Bill's thoughts go to Steffy when Katie describes the wedding disaster. Steffy is furious and heartbroken when Thomas reveals that he lied about himself and Brooke.

A joyous night for Brooke is shared by Donna, Katie, Hope and Liam, while Ridge is with Steffy trying to console her. Bill confesses to Justin that his thoughts are more with Steffy than with his wife.

Bill continues to console Steffy after her parents' wedding fiasco, leading her to feel rejected by her father again. Later, Liam finds them in each others' arms.

Liam confronts his father about Bill's meeting Steffy at the Malibu house. Ridge goes over to Taylor's to pick up his things. Taylor gives Ridge the ring back that was Brooke's and told Ridge how Brooke gave it to her saying that she knew Taylor would love Ridge more than Brooke. Hope goes into FC to have a show down with Thomas over why he lied and how much he hurt her mom when Steffy stands up for her brother and reminds Hope that she has no place in this argument or to further take it out on Thomas seeing as Hope's family is whole while the Taylor family is still ...

Ridge and Brooke hand Thomas a release form that will give back the company shares that Stephanie promised to him. Taylor shows Stephanie's will to Bill Spencer, who immediately finds a loophole. Steffy and Hope continue to clash.

Bill tells Steffy that he'll leave Katie, and then they begin to make love. Ridge is outraged when Taylor refuses to let Thomas sign back over the company shares that Stephanie willed to him.

Bill tells a shocked Taylor that he is leaving Katie for Steffy, little guessing that Katie has invited family to see them renew their wedding vows. Stephanie and Brooke discuss forgiveness.

Thomas wisely leaves when he finds mother and sister bickering whether married Bill is a fit, realistic groom for Steffy to aspire. Only Liam learns that Bill came to dump Katie and found her staging a surprise wedding vows renewal. Bill's near-strange sister spells out the marriage did wonders for stock market trust in Spencer publications.

Thomas's apologetic embarrassment subsides as Taylor calls on him and shares-obsessed Steffy to pull together as a family, without needless hostility towards Hope's side of Ridge's family. Liam, the only one in the know, watches startled as Bill starts the surprise wedding vows renewal with an ambivalent speech about always loving Katie and truthfulness.

Nick is far from amused when his mother and Owen move, hurriedly for 10% extra, out of their apartment after selling it hastily to an unknown bidder, even less when she cheekily expects him to put them up till further notice. Bill reruns after the wedding vows renewal without divorce announcement, preferring not to stir Spencer Publications' annual meeting. So after having all but scolded Taylor for doubting his intentions, Steffy must now angrily question him herself.

Bill has renewed his wedding vows as Katie wanted to avoid a scandal just before his company meeting. Taylor now rants it's proof how unreliable and unfit for Steffy he is, but she defends him against her, before privately demanding he must chose publicly. Liam is most uncomfortably beside Hope while the Logan clan congratulates confidence-beaming Katie.

Liam's can't reach Bill, who enjoys 'house warming' just moved-out Stffey's new love nest lip-locked, nor drag Katie away after a triumphant conversation with Brooke about the vows renewal and Bill's alleged return devotion to her. Liam fails also to prevent Taylor from doing 'what Bill isn't motivated to or brave enough to', so Katie is informed about sanctimonious Bill's affair.

Liam can't do anything as his father's adulterous house of cards comes crashing down. Katie refuses to believe Taylor about the adulterous affair with Bill. Katie then tells him about the 'abusive suggestion' as if Steffie's sick fantasy, yet demands his formal denial, and failing so has a raging fit about his sanctimonious vows renewal, only to be blamed for their marital failure by mistrust and disloyalty in therapy.

Hearing Bill confess his adulterous affair with Steffy, of all people, and shifting much of the blame to her, makes Katie work up such a temper as to collapse. She must be hospitalized, so Spencers and Logans meet there, worrying for her and the future.

Oliver visits Steffy's new apartment and admires her success and confidence that Bill will divorce Katie for her. In hospital, Brooke's lecture and the doctor's warning that another shock may kill Katie convince Bill to tell her he'll stay married, enough to wake his wife.

Hearing Katie's life seems to depend on his fidelity, Bill decides to give up Steffy and goes tell her, waving all objections. Liam slips out while the Logan sisters comfort each-other, but Brooke comes after him to make him admit he knew Bill wanted a divorce before the vows renewal.

Liam gets off lightly when Hope learns he knew about Bill's infidelity. Ridge and Broke grill Taylor for not telling them about Steffy's siren success, but only Brooke maintains that Stefay is the guilty party, not deserving of the protection her parents still plan to extend. Katie slips out of the hospital and takes a taxi to go tell Steffy the adultery game is over, but returns after being told it's Bill's call but her marriage must be very shaky.

Ridge is started by Steffy's confidence in Bill's presumed loyalty and total refusal to consider any warnings. Her position is subject of further bickering between loyalties-driven material Taylor and sisterly Brooke. In hospital, Bill faces Katie's daring ultimatum: pledge total exclusive loyalty to their mutually challenging marriage or a total break, stat.

Owen an Jacqie's shamelessly demonstrative, scantily-dressed affection clearly motivates Nick to eagerly 'help them' find a new home, regardless of her wish for quality time with young Jack. Nevertheless, brainstorming for their ailing firm is inevitable, and yields an idea: a competition among fashion academy seniors for a designer trainee-ship. Liam and Hope elaborately confirm and enjoy their unshakable mutual trust-based bond, unlike fickle Bill. Katie meanwhile gets a firm affirmation of marital commitment, which is afterward clearly spelled out to Steffy, whose ...

Owen dutifully arranges the internship competition and house search with Nick, but Jacqui and Hope focus on speculating why Steffy bought their non-central home. Unable to shake Bill's resolve to stand by his marital vows, Steffy turns furiously desperate.

Liam questions rapidly-irritated father Bill about his conflicting promises to Katie and Steffy, to be quickly assured marital loyalty comes first as long as Katie lives. Ridge and Brooke feel most protective about 'lead-on' Steffy, but he's startled that despite a cocky claim never again to be fooled by a man, she blindly trusts Bill will 'come to his senses' and choose her.

Bill allowed Ridge a single slap over Steffy, but calls Nick to bid on Jacki M as tool for the ultimate revenge: compete Forrester creations into the ground. Marone only considers a fifty-fifty partnership. Oliver visits Steffy and encourages her to take time to recover. She takes a bath but slips and hits her head. After discussing all people hurt by Steffy's seduction of his father, Liam still decides to drip by and offer her moral support now she's dumped. Oblivious, Ridge and Brooke agree to disagree on seductive guilt and frolic in the garden.

Liam gets no response when he knocks at Steffy's door and uses Bill's key, which he brought to return, to enter, finds her and saves her from drowning in her tub. Recovering and praising his nobility, she steals a kiss. After their garden frolicking, Ridge and Brooke fail to appease Taylor's worrying about Steffy who fails to answer her phone. Hope tells she wants her collection to warn her generation of customers against the irresponsible sex-abusive element in her mother's life and how lucky she feels that Liam respects her enough to wait until marriage.bathing

Savior Liam is embarrassed by Steffy's shameless gratitude by kiss as well as his new 'ideal son in law' status exclaimed by Taylor, relieved that Hope shows no jealousy, just supportive pride and unshaken trust. Nick tries to prod mother to look seriously for other living accommodation, but only gets Owen's promise they'll respect his home. Then the conversation forces his hand to disclose Bill's partnership offer, likely to hurt the Forresters badly.

After Liam saved Steffy from drowning and she stole a kiss back, Liam, Hope and Brooke are indignant about suggestions from Bill and Taylor that the episode created a strong bond with potential for bachelors, despite Liam's engagement. Steffy openly tells Oliver and Jake she's over unfaithful Bill and never realized till then how wonderful his opposite son is, while Liam secretly can't stop thinking of her passionate kiss, unlike his demure relationship with Hope.

Liam tries to move on and concentrate again on coy Hope, but can't forget about passionate Steffy, who after warning her 'childishly innocent' virgin rival, even sneaks into his home to attempt seducing him. Hope tells Brooke she considers countering by granting Liam pre-marital sex anyhow, but is convinced not to.

It's the day Forrester Creations presents the new Hope for the Future collection. Stefy keeps bugging the nervous creator and the rest of the family with her obvious ambition to steal Liam. The never-more-desirable fiancé represents Spencer Publciations, but also steals the show just when Hope models the stopper, jumping on stage with a ring.

Liam proposes to Hope, who is stunned and drags him along, out to the roof. While everybody speculates whether that means she will accept, now or at all, Liam apologizes for his rashness, but is assured she's just swept off her feet and utterly delighted to accept.

Elated that Hope accepted his spectacular surprise proposal whole-heartedly, Liam takes the next step most traditionally: asking for her hand. Ridge can't resist making the Spencer prince sweat, warning reciprocating feelings for Steffy are intolerable, before switching to first name basis, but admits to Brooke he's impressed by the fiancé who seems to do everything right, utterly unlike his hated father.

To Liam's delight, Hope finally agrees to a romantic night in bed. Ridge doubts Brooke's advice to try perfume and sexy lingerie. Indeed, she decides it's 'not me' and although Liama offers to shower and switch into casual cloths, again ask him to wait till their wedding night. Oliver and Steffy commiserate, fearing their shot at Hope viz. Liam is gone.

Although clearly disappointed, Liam assures Hope he accepts waiting till their wedding night. When Oliver and Steffy later find Liam in a bar, she questions him in a hostile manner, learns the pre-marital love night fell trough and warns him Hope will continue manipulating him with withheld sex once married.

Liam is grilled further in the bar by Steffy, who waves his protestations and instead of butting out of his engagement works up to stealing a kiss to stress her warning that even marriage may not warm up frigid Hope. Having lost hope to win Hope back, Oliver lets a model kiss him publicly.

Liam not only firmly waves Steffy's suggestion to call off his engagement but convinces her Hope is the only one for him. After calling around anxiously, Hope learns from Oliver where they are and arrives, only to be told by Steffy 'in friendship' that she's too immature for marriage, even if Liam wants no other. Ridge discusses with Brooke her doubts that Hope really wants till her wedding night just to make a statement in reaction to the libertine maternal example and Taylor's theory that Liam is fit for Steffy.

The happy couple has mixed feelings about their families' elaborate plans to turn their wedding plans into a media circus. Without even consulting Liam, Hope declines Stephanie as wedding planner but gets Eric to promise their house as venue. Liam declines Bill's suggestion of a Vegas wedding to get the surprisingly still withheld honeymoon fun. Oliver has designed a provocative campaign for Steffy's lingerie line, 'starring' her bordello style, Hope is told to fly to Paris. Liam is not amused she wants three months for the plans and questions why true lovers can't ...

Liam sweetly asks Hope, while kissing, why they should wait three more months to go all the way. Although assuring she wants him just as badly, she sticks to his 'promise' and joins Eric and Thomas on the company jet to Paris, having declined his offer to accompany her. After jogging up a sweat to work out his frustration, Liam gets an surprise visit from Steffy, who invites himself to his home and his lips with another chorus of 'you need a real woman, not domineering virgin Hope'.

Aboard the private jet to Paris, the Forresters discuss how different Hope's lie, for which new designs are presented, is from Steffy's provocative underwear. Bill sends Liam to cover it, forcing him to think more of the siren. Nick tells his team that an unsavory partnership with Bill is their fashion house's best chance to survive.

As Bill jests, Liam practically drools while watching Steffy's provocative underwear video, which he is to market for Spencer Publications under contract with Ridge. In Paris, he press conference is a triumph for Hope as well as he line for the Future. She makes her decision to wait which sex till marriage public and Eric spoils her with a perfect wedding dress.

Liam is stressing at home over the Forester intimates campaign when 'client' Steffy drops by, promising to be understanding, gives him a shirtless neck massage and steals another kiss. Hope ignores her presence when casually calling from Paris, where she basks in success and wedding planning fun. Still he tells off Steffy, insisting he doesn't believe Hope is controlling him by withheld sex. Even Owen's special attention can't appease Jaqui's jealous gloom over being out-staged by younger Forrester designers, nor convince her to agree with Bill's joint venture offer.

Stephanie hoped to reconcile with Taylor and even reforge their alliance against Brooke, but is bitterly told it's time to end 'compensating' each-other's faults and start her own life. Amber tries to play the maternity card to win over Marcus, his whole family and even rival Dayzee, but is grimly told she can never be trusted.

Nick insists to his reluctant mother and Owen that Spencer's offer is their best option. Stephanie turns to Brooke again, having failed to reconcile Taylor, who laughs at a 'psychic' homeless man's prediction that she'll meet 'the man', although the theatrical storm conforms to the vision.

Thomas asks Ridge to lift his punishment and restart Taboo, but is told it's too soon and that label won't be the gifted son's way back into designing. Owen has a hard time soothing Jacqueline, who fears she's simply too old to rival with Forrester's young designers. To Taylor's pleasant surprise, the 'predicted' male visitor is none other then Thorne, who tells her to commiserate with Thomas, having received no shares himself, and points out her trustee powers enable voting rights on the shares transferred by Stephanie.

Thomas keeps pleading to revive taboo as the right business move, but after Brooke says she just can't support him, Ridge even scolds the request. Thorne explains to delighted Taylor that together with Steffy, she can wield the voting majority and take over control of Forrester Creations. Liam is delighted with Hope's return and firmly stops Steffy's suggestion that he deserves better.

Thomas is deeply disappointed and Steffy openly rebellious when Ridge and Broke tell them their lines, hence careers, are to remain canceled viz. curtailed, while Hope's is promoted as company priority. Thorne gets Taylor enthusiastic, sealed with kisses, about a future where they, Thomas and Steffy rule the Forrester Creations roost, so the shoe of frustration will be on Ridge and Brooke's feet.

Liam nearly misses a deadline due to a rare chance to speak to Hope, only to hear it looks like their agendas may practically keep them apart 'until the honeymoon'. Bill scolds his son's unprofessional lateness, then drags out the real problem is the no sex before marriage promise and insists he shouldn't overdue bride-indulgence. Indignant about Brooke objecting as soon as he opens her mouth, which even Hope tells off, Steffy visits Bill, promising she's over him and thinking of 'abused' groom Liam, not planning to steal him.

At Hope's home press conference, Jarret exposes how uneasy, rather humiliating, it is to make Liam wait, her repost not to plead against sex makes no impression. Bill lets Steffy assure him she's over him and truly concerned for Liam, then instructs her to become 'more then a good friend'. That starts auspiciously as she finds sex-starved Liam half naked and completely frustrated.

After a night with Steffy, Liam wakes up naked, fearing he missed a crucial deadline. Liam cuts short Bill's 'congratulations' for spending the night together, insisting 'nothing happened', but both are pleasantly surprised that she finished the text from his extensive notes, in time. She demands as sole reward a beach walk.

Thorn leads he pointless protests during an informal family firm meeting called by Ridge, who tolerates no protest when he announces the whole advertising budget is for Hope for the Future, to capitalize on a maximal buzz till she marries Liam. Thomas is given no date for a new line and told Taboo won't ever be resurrected. Brooke chiming in about Steffy's 'inappropriate' underwear line requiring fixing makes it all worse. The frustrated young designers are delighted afterward when Thorn explains they and Taylor can actually wield a majority in the board. Unsuspecting...

Thorne arrives when Ridge presents Taylor a voting rights transfer and vehemently warns her not to sign it, which she clearly didn't intend. The brothers verbal confrontation about Ridge's dictatorial attitude leads to a brawl, in which Thorne falls and hurts his head. Liam admits to Bill that Steffy seduced him to another kiss, feeling guilty bit confident he won't repeat that mistake. Back in the beach-house, Hipe treats him to a sorry for the neglect-dinner, but ruins his mood unwittingly by dedicating it also to his campaign for her fashion line.

Liam's delight over he plans to speed up the wedding are short-lived, as Ridge vetoes such a disaster to the Hope for the Future publicity. Brooke gets Hope to consider a partial alternative: secret sex before the wedding. Bill grudgingly accepts the wedding is still on, ignoring the delay, and promises to organize a wild bachelor party that very night. Steffy now not only manages to steal a kiss but gets an active response.

At the bachelor party he throws at a hotel, Bill is openly angry at married men and even slick womanizers like Thomas jocularly warning groom Liam his party days are to give way to a whipped life. As soon as Liam is tipsy, Bill arranges for him to be drive home by Steffy, who eagerly promises to tempt him to the hilt. An inquisitive guest follows them. All ignore that in Liam's beach-house, Hope awaits him for an 'early wedding night'.

Bachelor party guest Rick Forrester reports to the shocked family and Oliver at Ridge's that he followed tipsy Liam, being driven home by Steffy, and witnessed them kissing in the car. Hope, alerted, saw them too, left the beach-house and dumps startled Liam by phone. Bill hastily advises Liam to forget about fickle Hope and count himself lucky with 'so much more helpful' Steffy.

Deply hurt that Hope dumped him, without even a discussion, Liam delights Bill by saying he's now engaged with Steffy. Taylor enjoys defending that switch to shocked Brooke, who claims the break-up isn't be serious. Hope can't believe she has been replaced, by Steffy of all people, and so fast, her rival triumphantly points out she broke up the engagement, Liam simply responds.

To Bill's delight, Liam moves fast on Steffy, taking his fiancée by Spencer jet to the Rockies for a romantic trip. While even Katie is startled when Bill triumphantly tells her, Taylor keeps claiming to the Forresters that Liam's fiancée-switch is a done deal and Hope's own doing.

Liam and Steffy enjoy his surprise, a trip to summer-deserted Aspen, Colorado. Rick manages to track them down and sends a skater friend to slip a note to Liam, 'Don't give up about Hope, come to the mountain top'. Bill however suspected that, had Rick tailed and calls markers with devoted Tv staff to prevent Hope getting a chance to make up with Liam before Steffy can really tie him up.

Before Liam can respond to the meeting arranged by the not Rick had slipped to him, Steffy waits for him on the mountain top. In record team, Bill's TV people arrange to have the ski-lift blocked, with Hope trapped inside, tauntingly in sight. Meanwhile a preacher is brought to perform a wedding in open air. Bill meanwhile shushes Katie, who still doesn't even accept Steffy's engagement to 'ex' Bill's son.

Liam cautiously calls Bill, fearing he must shield Steffy for denying father a society wedding, but his old man can barely hide his triumphant joy. Hope returns home too, telling Brooke and smug Taylor she can't believe Liam forgot about her almost immediately.

At a welcome home party, which Bill throws for the 'leoped' newly weds and both families, Liam carefully smooths things, earning Ridge's belated, albeit obviously hesitant blessing. Gloating, Steffy denies Hope access to the former groom, but fears that won't hold her off long. Yet Brooke finds Hope disheartened. Liam is easily lured into bed, yet hasn't lost discrete interest in a trailing picture of him and Hope.

Owen returns relaxed and happy from a Hawaian dream holiday with Bridget and their baby boy Logan. When Owen thanks Jaqueline for arranging it, she tells him they must part, so his son can grow up in a real family, unlike Nick's absent father-trauma. After fondly reminiscing their happy years, Owen agrees and goes tell Bridget it's time to move into a family home.

Thomas has another romantic surprise for Hope, who tells Brooke she's taking him serious as marriage candidate now Liam is no longer an option. Bill firmly waves Katie's objections to nominating Steffy on the Spencer board and insists she must welcome Liam's wife into the family. Katie turns to Liam, but finds he already knows that Bill helped Steffy deceive him and sabotage Hope's cable cart, and remains committed to the marriage.

The Forresters busily prepare a grand show to present the latest collection. They ignore that even the showpiece has been passed on by Pamela to Nick and Jaqueline, who dreams of reviving the pirate grandeur of Spectra in Garrison's days. Liam finds it harder to wave Katie's suspicions that Bill's eagerness to have Steffy on the board also means a danger of cuckolding them both as the ex-lovers collaborate too closely.

Preparing for an Originals show, Thomas, Eric, Ridge, Rick and Oliver congratulate themselves and the whole Forrester team with what may be their best collection ever. Owen decides against questioning Jaqueline about her collection, which he sense to be tainted with Sepctra's brush. Nick lets Donna twist his arm to play truant and take her out on the yacht for a harbor tour. As if mistaking Jaqueline and Nick's evasive responses for a promise of a job for life, Pam goes cold Stephanie for sabotaging her wedding and hints she may not stay around long.

The Forrester Originals collection presentation show is ready. An intern is berated for taking private pictures. Stephanie gets suspicious of hostile Pam, who dreams of telling her about the counterfeit. Jaqueline frantically plans a Spectra-style coup, presenting her modified knockoffs collection just before Forrester, despite warnings from worried Owen, who only now learns the full illegal truth. The conspiratorial Logan sisters suggest to uneasy Nick he's becoming an item with Donna.

Bridget stops by Forrester Creations to show her support for their upcoming collection debut; Jackie and Nick host a crowd of press and buyers to introduce their latest line; Owen worries about Bridget's reaction to the new Jackie M. collection.

Nick is desperate enough to keep the counterfeit option open to counter Pam's plan to leave Forrester with a convincing kiss. Jaqueline boldly denies having resorted to Spectra-practices, without convincing Stephanie, whom she also accuses of cruelly fickle ingratitude. While Ridge decides to postpone the Original spring collection presentation, Hope suggests a single suspect: intern Beverly, who denies, startled, having sold her insider pictures.

The Forresters fire sole suspect Beverly, the homeless intern, who bitterly leaves, feeling 'eternally targeted'. After considering the tight timing and Jaqueline's sincere denial of the girl's involvement which convinces even Stephanie, they realize it may well be someone else. Pamela wants to come clean and stop the misery inflicted upon other kin then Stepganie as well as the intern, but lets Nick convince her to wait until he can kiss it all better again.

Now the Forresters realize firing Beverly was hasty and probably wrong, Stephanie sets out, with Hope, to find and rehire her.

Stephanie perseveres, confiding her own domestic abuse, and meets other shelter youths.

Several former foster children who became homeless at legal majority, some even after a good foster home, elaborate on their experiences to Stephanie, Dayzee tells Hope about still unresponsive Beverly's case.

Bill booked a luxurious 'family Christmas' in Mexico for him, Liam and their spouses. He waves Steffy's doubts if Katie will accept by stating she simply wouldn't dare leaving him unchaperoned. Liam objects to Katie's claim that the ex-lovers shouldn't go together. Liam protests weaker when told he shouldn't give up on Hope, who meanwhile tells Eric she can't give up Liam. Scared, hidden, Pam overhears Eric get a private confession from ex Jaqueline, who bitterly berates him for returning to Stephanie, rather then herself.

Thomas wants Brooke's blessing to court Hope, but is told she can't support even such great catch as she still hopes to win Liam back. Hope admits she hopes Steffy may return to Bill, for whom that's a nightmare. Steffy despairs about Katie's refusal to accept her or her marriage and even starts doubting her marriage. Liam assures Ridge he'll stick to his marital vows but tells Hope he'll dump Steffy if she's ever unfaithful.

Now it's clear Beverly wasn't the leak, Ridge's priorities are finding the real one, beefing up security and considering how other fashion lines can fill the scary sales hole left by the lost Originals seasonal collection, probably re-marketing Hope for the Future without he canceled wedding. Nick neither confirms nor denies to Donna, tipped off by Brooke, that his firm stole the Forrester designs, so she refuses to stay on his boat, apparently sacrificing their budding relationship.

While Eric urges Foorrester's security chief to solve the industrial espionage and agrees with Stephanie to set up a private program in favor of people dropping out of foster care by reaching majority, Beverly returns as intern. Nick and Jaqueline are surprised that Pam sneaked in to decorate their home for Christmas, to little Jack's delight. Katie meanwhile persuaded Donna, who reluctantly leaves the Marone yacht, that Nick 'only protected his family firm', so she drops by to make up.

Liam can't forget about Hope, but refuses to betray his wedding vows, although Rick suggests he'll be regretting so the rest of his life once Hope moves on, which may be soon. Niether realizes that Steffy meanwhile tells ex Bill she feels Katie will wear her marriage down and throws herself at him. Disguised as an elf, Pamela chases 'rival for Nick' Donna, covered in eggnog.

Preparations for the Mexican Christmas holiday go well, even Katie seems looking forward to spend it with Bill, like Steffy with Liam. Thomas hopes checking out a luxury resort there with Hope will help bond, in time as Rick urges Liam to win her back.

The Forresters host a family Christmas at the mansion. Thomas and Hope have a blast Christmas-shopping first. With Brooke, who foolishly offered, and Donna in the kitchen, the turkey is utterly ruined before Katie arrives. Bill called not attending his present for the Forresters, who hate him, but decides Liam shouldn't go hungry and arrives with a cooked turkey.

Thomas is confident that he can get Hope to join him at the Mexican resort as joined business visit and private fun. He and supportive Steffy, who refuses to divulge her destination 'so you can't accidentally spill it' are worried to hear Liam drops by at Hope's, but the newly weds enjoy their own flight, even though Liam still can't forget about Hope even while they make love. Thomas gets Hope along and they have a blast.

Thomas and Steffy are equally delighted arriving at their Mexican coastal resorts with Hope viz? Liam, until they discover it's one and the same, so keeping their respective parters apart is a tall order. Thomas promises to move fast on Hope, Steffy to lure Liam away. She starts by spilling a drink on him, but changing after a shower, he receives a press release of her collection and swoons towel-only.

Thomas and Steffy desperately try to prevent Liam and Hope meeting in the Mexican resort. As that seems hopeless, she tries to get Liam to move elsewhere, but he refuses firmly. Back home, Amber tries to move back on Rick and push Beverly out of the way, with inverse effect.

Liam and Hope are still kept apart successfully. Liam enjoys a massage from Steffy, who pretends having taken a crash course to explain her many absences. Thomas treats Hope to a romantic dinner, which seems to work. Back home, Bill deals with jealous, suspicious Katie.

Thomas assures Steffy he's making progress with Hope but needs more time then they can probably keep her from meeting Liam. When she reports Thomas's remark that it would take a ring on Hope's finger to Bill, he arranges for a local Mexican contact, from a mariachi band, to buy and hand-deliver a giant diamond ring.
