believe it. I mean, what are the odds that he chooses you
as his doctor? In all of L.A.?
Do you think he came back here to stir up trouble?
>> Finn: For Thomas. >> Steffy: Well, could you
think of another reason that he'd bring up Emma's death?
Accuse my brother of murder? >> Finn: I actually kinda had
to pull it out of the guy. >> Steffy: Well, when you did,
Xander didn't hold back, right? He said that my brother is
responsible for Emma's death. But he wasn't, Finn.
>> Thomas: Sure you don't wanna change your mind?
You're allowed to reconsider. But not this time.
>> Hope: I'm sorry. >> Thomas: No, I'm not.
At least you didn't throw the ring in my face.
I'm serious! I just wanna be with you,

Luna? >> Luna: What? Oh.
Sorry, I was just thinking about my mom.
>> RJ: Well, what are you-- Are you thinking about how
the date's going? >> Luna: Look, I realize that
Bill Spencer is not your favorite person.
>> RJ: Yeah, that's-- that's putting it mildly.
>> Luna: Okay. But, my mom hasn't had a man
in her life in a really long time. So, who knows?
Maybe Bill could be the one. >> RJ: The one?

I remember. It was a wonderful night.
One that I haven't forgotten. Or ever will.

>> RJ: Wow. So, you're expecting a lot from
a first date. >> Luna: No. It's only if Bill
really does turn out to be the one.
>> RJ: The-- the one who sweeps her mom off her feet?
>> Luna: Yeah. I mean, stranger things have happened.
>> RJ: Yeah. Especially when Bill Spencer's involved.
>> Luna: Wait. What do you mean?
>> RJ: Let's-- let's just say that he has quite, uh...
a history with the ladies. >> Luna: Should-- should I be
worried? Should my mom be? >> Bill: I don't know. I mean,
I think that she can handle herself, but I don't know her
that well, so. >> Luna: When it comes to
my mom and men, I've always felt bad that my dad was never
in the picture. I mean, not just for me, but...
for my mom as well. >> Bill: Thank you.
So, you do realize I've got a million questions.
>> Poppy: That many? >> Bill: All right.
Maybe half a million. What's that?
>> Poppy: Fortification. For all the
intense questioning. >> Bill: This is a date,
all right? It's not gonna be a cross examination.
>> Poppy: I'm joking. Hey, but this is all natural.
It is guaranteed to put a smile on my face.
>> Bill: Fair enough. >> Poppy: Can I
admit something? >> Bill: Sure.
>> Poppy: I was a little nervous about this date of
ours and this will just take the edge off a little,
much like your scotch. >> Bill: So, back to that
night all those years ago. >> Poppy: Hm.
>> Bill: A chance encounter that turned into something more.
>> Poppy: Well, I don't wanna put you on the spot,
but I never heard from you again. You never called.
>> Bill: I meant to. I really did.
It's just that... after the festival, it was--
it was back to work. Uh, at that time of my life,
I was all about building my company into what it is
today. You might even call it an obsession.
I had no room in my life for anything else.
And if that's-- that's a lame excuse, I know.

and so did I. >> Bill: You're very sweet
to let me off the hook, but I am sorry, Poppy.

>> Finn: Baby, I want to, but we can't just ignore
Xander's accusation. >> Steffy: Xander isn't as
innocent as you think. He was part of the whole
baby Beth lie. >> Finn: So, you think he's
making his accusations against Thomas as payback?
>> Steffy: That's exactly what I think.
Look, what happened to Emma, it was awful, but that accident
wasn't because of my brother. >> Finn: So, you believe
your brother? >> Steffy: Yes.
And the police. >> Finn: Police?
>> Steffy: Xander went to the police and the police
determined that it was reckless driving.
It wasn't Thomas' fault. Look, I didn't say anything
to you because there was already so many things stacked
up against Thomas in the past, but Thomas didn't do what
Xander said. You're my husband, Finn.
You need to understand that. ♪♪♪
>> Luna: I think Bill seems like a nice enough guy.
I know, I know. I know you're not the biggest

my mom's type is actually, but if Bill and my mom's paths
really did cross years ago like Bill thinks,
I don't know. Maybe he is her type after all.
>> Bill: Li never told you. >> Poppy: You saved her from
this horrible Sheila woman? No, I had no idea.
I mean, that's amazing. My family and I owe you a lot.
>> Bill: Oh, no, no, no. You don't owe me at all.
The fact is, I owe you an apology. Look, I--
I meant what I said. The impact you had on me

>> Steffy: You're worried about my brother? Well, so am I.
But not about what Xander said. I'm worried that Hope is
using him. And if she ends it with Thomas, like this could
be really devastating for him. >> Finn: Yeah, I agree.
It could be a breaking point, but as concerned as I am
for Thomas, I mean, I'm even more concerned for Hope.
I-- I'm sorry, honey, but I still think that Thomas
has issues. Hope needs to be protected.
>> Steffy: So, you're taking Hope's side?
>> Finn: I'm not taking anyone's side.
Yes, Thomas is family. He's your brother. But, that
doesn't negate or forgive him for what he did to Hope.
Keeping baby Beth from her, perpetuating the lie that
she died during child birth. These are cruel things.
>> Steffy: So many people suffered. Hope suffered.
I suffered. Yes, I adopted a child, not knowing it was
Hope's baby. >> Finn: Yes, exactly. He put
you through hell because he didn't come forward and
tell you what he knew. And now, these accusations
from Xander-- >> Steffy: That's exactly
what they are. They are accusations.
That's all they are. He's just trying to get back
at Thomas because he got axed from Forrester,
from our family, from Thomas. >> Finn: He's convinced that
Thomas is responsible for Emma Barber's death.
>> Steffy: That is not true. It was a tragic accident.
I-- I-- I can't believe we're talking about this again.
>> Finn: No one in your family mentions it.
>> Steffy: It doesn't mean we're not haunted by it.
Look, what happened to Emma, it was terrible, but it was
an accident. I will tell you it again,
Thomas is not to blame. It wasn't his fault.

never known. >> Luna: Yeah.
Something like that. Though, I do have to confess,
when I was younger, I did think about him a lot.

I just remember watching you dancing to the music and
you were just so into it. I mean, the look on your face,
the way your-- your body moved, just so free and uninhibited.
It was like nothing else mattered but that moment
in time. >> Poppy: My life was so
different back then. I was so carefree,

you have a daughter Luna's age. I swear, I never forgot
about you. In case you're wondering,
I would really like to see you again, Poppy.

He showed up at Finn's office and he freaked out when he
found out that I was his wife. >> Thomas: Oh, wow. I mean,
I guess there's no surprise there. His tenure at Forrester
didn't exactly end well. Dad let him go.
>> Steffy: Yeah, part of that was because of the whole
baby Beth lie. >> Thomas: Okay, so why are
you bringing this up? So, Finn saw Xander as
a patient. It's no big deal. >> Steffy: It is a big deal,
Thomas. He and Emma were close and he hasn't forgotten about
what happened on Mulholland. You and I know
what happened to Emma, it was an accident, but
Xander doesn't think that. He told Finn that he thinks
you're responsible for Emma's death.
♪♪♪ >> Hope: While I appreciate
the concern, Finn, it is misplaced.
There is nothing to worry about with Thomas, as I have
told Steffy, as I have told everyone else over

while Steffy's worried about her brother, I'm worried
about you. >> Hope: Okay, well, that's--
that's sweet, but it's unnecessary. I mean, I know
better than anyone how much Thomas has changed, so.
>> Finn: Are you sure about that, Hope?
Because I learned something pretty shocking today.
>> Hope: About Thomas? >> Finn: I, um, I saw a new
patient and when he saw our wedding photo, he--
he freaked out and he couldn't believe that I was married
to Steffy Forrester. >> Hope: Well, I am sure
that that was just a mistake or that he's a fan.
I mean, Steffy has many fans. >> Finn: No, he is not--
he is not-- He's definitely not a fan.
He's a former employee of Forrester.
Does the name Xander Avant ring any bells?
>> Hope: You saw Xander? >> Finn: Yeah, and he made
a pretty shocking statement. And I-- I told Steffy and
she seemed to already know and I'm sensing that
you do too. And yeah, it goes all the way
back to one of the darkest chapters of your life,
when your baby was stolen and you and Liam thought that
she was dead, and look-- look, I'm really sorry to
be-- I'm bringing all this up, but I really wish I didn't
have to. I wish I could just forget what Xander told me,
but given the things Thomas has done in the past...
and look, I mean, Steffy, she-- she believes in Thomas.
He's her brother, after all, but when Xander accuses Thomas
of murder, now do you understand why I'm so concerned about you?
