>> Steffy: What, you think I was too harsh on Brooke?
>> Ridge: Well, you certainly get your point across.
I don't like when you go after her like that.
It doesn't change anything. It doesn't help anything.
You're going through some stuff, so I'm going to let
that slide. >> Steffy: One thing has nothing
to do with the other. I don't like how Brooke's
defending Hope's behavior. >> Ridge: Okay.
And do you think you got through to Thomas, about ending it
with Hope? >> Steffy: Seemed like it.
This whole situation's ridiculous.
Thomas.
>> Thomas: Well, it's done. >> Ridge: Done?
>> Thomas: I ended things with Hope.

It's over. Thomas left me.

>> Hope: I love him. I love him, Mom, I--
I really do. >> Brooke: Sometimes, that isn't
enough, honey, if things just aren't
meant to be.
I am shocked, though. I thought he was devoted
to you. And he was so dead set on
having a life with you for years now.
>> Hope: I thought I could count on him, too.
I thought, uh, he was always going to be there
for me, but, um... now he's abandoning us
and what we share.
I... Oh, I just--
I couldn't say yes. I couldn't say yes.
But, Mom, I mean. I think you know that I wasn't
ready for marriage. I wasn't ready for that again.
I wanted him in my life, Mom, I did.
And that is not going to be a reality now, thanks to Steffy.
Yeah. Oh gosh, she's just couldn't
help herself. I mean, she just kept
hounding him. Attacking our relationship.
I mean, Thomas wouldn't be doing this right now if it
wasn't for Steffy. She poisoned him against me.
♪♪♪
>> Brooke: I've spoken to Steffy, and I've got to say,
I don't disagree with you. She definitely stuck her nose
in this situation. And she's doing whatever she
can to undermine your relationship with Thomas.
>> Hope: Well, it worked. Thomas took the bait.
God, she had no right to interfere.
>> Brooke: She claims that she's being a protective sister.
>> Hope: Oh, bull. Mom, she played the Forrester
versus Logan card. She attacked me.
She attacked you. She attacked our entire family.
And now she's attacking my family with Thomas and Douglas.
>> Brooke: Douglas isn't gonna take this well.
>> Hope: No, he's going to be very upset when he finds out.
>> Douglas: Hey, Donna said you were in here.
>> Hope: Oh, Douglas, hi. Hi honey, I didn't realize you
were going to be here today. >> Douglas: Yeah, Dad called.
He arranged it. >> Hope: Okay, uh, um, actually
that's perfect timing because I think we have some things
that we need to talk about. Mom, do you mind if you, uh...
>> Brooke: No, of course. I'll give the two of you
some space, okay.
>> Hope: Okay. Um,
I'm going to reach out to your dad real fast 'cause I
think this is a conversation that he needs to be a part of.
>> Douglas: I already know.
>> Hope: Know what? >> Douglas: Dad told me.
You turned down his proposal again.
He's not the only one who got his hopes up.

but it's a necessary one.
>> Brooke: Hey, I thought you should know
Douglas is here. >> Thomas: Good.
He's in with Hope now? >> Brooke: Yes.
Look, Thomas, I'm not sure you're aware how
devastated Hope really is. >> Steffy: Any devastation Hope
feels isn't because of Thomas. She's facing the consequences
of her own actions. >> Brooke: The consequences of
your interference, you mean.
I know you two are in a lot of pain, so is this really
necessary? >> Thomas: It-- seriously,
Brooke? What's with the 180?
>> Brooke: What? >> Thomas: Your daughter's not
ready to marry me. You got what you wanted.

hurting like this. >> Thomas: I'm not with Hope

for years.

seem like we could be a family?
>> Hope: We are a family. >> Douglas: Not really.
Not if you don't want to marry my dad.
>> Hope: Douglas, we've always been a family,
and I'm not sure what your father has told you, but--
>> Douglas: You don't wanna get married.
>> Hope: You know what? You're right.
I don't wanna get married. Not yet.
Not today. Marriage is a really, really
big commitment, and I didn't feel like I was ready
for that yet. But that doesn't mean that
I won't be ready in the future. And it doesn't mean that I don't
love your father. And it certainly
isn't a reflection of how I feel about you.
>> Douglas: I know you love me, and I think
you kind of love Dad, too. Just not enough to marry,
to make us a real family. Why?
What's wrong? Why aren't we good enough?
You don't love us enough?

>> Brooke: Despite what you think, Thomas,
this isn't what I wanted at all.
But you do remember, I-- I warned you.
When you first proposed, I told you, you might
end up disappointed. >> Ridge: Disappointed?
It's a little more than that. His whole world crashed
around him. >> Steffy: Yeah, because
Brooke's daughter used him, and finally Thomas
came to his senses. >> Thomas: Steffy,
I appreciate you. I appreciate you trying to look
after me, but I can't have you attacking Hope.
Brooke, I love your daughter. I wanted to spend the rest
of my life with her. I wanted to provide for her
and I wanted to protect her. But she doesn't want that.
So whether it was formerly, publicly, and now secretly...
This is-- this is what you wanted in the end.
>> Brooke: No, no, this is not what I wanted.
I didn't want to see the two of you in anguish like this.
You know, none of this would've happened if you didn't involve
yourself in the first place. There's more going on here than
just Hope and Thomas. There are children involved,
and Douglas is over there talking to Hope right now.
Did you know that? What's he gonna do when he
finds out that his father is leaving his mother?
♪♪♪ >> Hope: I do love you.

your mother.

You won't marry him. >> Hope: Okay.
Look, honey. I know things are tough right
now, but I promise you we will be able to work through them
