>> Bill: No, it doesn't.
161
00:09:24,563 --> 00:09:28,167
And you've been talking to Will.
>> Liam: Ah...
162
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:31,170
you caught me. Yeah.
But come on, can you blame the
163
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:32,972
kid?
He's a little biased because he
164
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,008
remembers when you and Katie
were happy.
165
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:38,177
>> Bill: Well, he's not a kid
anymore.
166
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:41,113
And believe me, he is not
holding his breath, hoping for a
167
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:43,582
big family reunion.
>> Liam: No, he's not, but I
168
00:09:43,649 --> 00:09:46,585
think you might be holding your
breath.
169
00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:49,221
Be honest.
That's something you'd want,
170
00:09:49,288 --> 00:09:54,327
right?
>> Bill: For a long time, I...
171
00:09:54,393 --> 00:09:57,530
I didn't think that was
possible.
172
00:09:57,596 --> 00:10:00,967
But with Will being home and the
way that Katie's been looking
173
00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:06,005
out for me...
let's just say that I remain
174
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:10,009
hopeful.
>> Katie: Listen, if you do
175
00:10:10,076 --> 00:10:13,946
decide to stay in Los Angeles,
your father's going to make a
176
00:10:14,013 --> 00:10:18,351
pitch for you to go to Spencer,
and I would be fine with that as
177
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:24,256
long as it's your choice and not
just what your father demands.
178
00:10:24,323 --> 00:10:27,259
>> Will: Well, don't worry.
My decisions have been my own
179
00:10:27,326 --> 00:10:30,730
for a while.
>> Carter: That's mature.
180
00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:33,766
Very impressive.
If you do wanna work at
181
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:36,969
Forrester, come see me.
>> Will: All right, thanks,
182

I'm sorry.
188
00:10:56,389 --> 00:11:00,793

But only leave if it's what you
189

want, not what Father demands.

everything is fine.

You know, how is everything?

I-I'm glad she's back, and the

They're at a good age now, and

She's, uh, a force of nature,

chase your husband away.

He had to go to work.

>> Steffy: Yeah, I'm sorry.
207

I didn't meant to put you on the
spot like that.

lovely reconnecting with him.

But I told you I don't need a
man in my life.

All I need are my children and
my grandchildren.

that--just Dad genuinely wants

to spend time with you, is all.
>> Taylor: Yeah, and we will, we
213
00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:20,773
will, but I've already missed
out on so much with you and your

And what's so great is that the

There's so many milestones.
