Sally has collapsed, so Wyatt, Flo and Penny tend to her. Penny tells them to call 911. At the hospital, a Dr. Griffith tells them that Sally should be fine now, but she had a panic attack. She sees severe signs of stress in Sally that has been going on for a while. They promise not to stress her out. They go in and visit Sally, who's very embarrassed. She tries again to apologize to Wyatt, but he tries to get her to calm down, so she won't have another panic attack. Sally is touched by their concern. She asks to be left alone with Wyatt. She tells him how bad she feels and that she'll apologize to everyone. She tells him that she was just so desperate because she loved him so much. She begs him to remember the good times they shared, and not all the lies she told. She hopes he can forgive her one day. Liam arrives at the hospital, so Bill fills him in on Steffy's accident. In Steffy's hospital room, Ridge tells Dr. Finn that Steffy needs more pain medicine, so he assures him that he will get her dosage increased. Steffy says she doesn't want it, even though she's clearly in pain. Finn tells them that she has broken ribs and a sprained back, which is why she's in so much pain. He assures them that the ribs usually heal on their own. Liam arrives. The doctor tells Steffy that she was lucky that she was wearing her helmet. Outside, Bill wants to apologize to Steffy. Ridge just wants him to go home. Back inside the room, Steffy tries to reach for her phone, but she's in too much pain. Liam tells her that she needs to rest and not worry about things. She wants to talk to Amelia, Kelly's nanny. Liam assures her that Amelia will drop Kelly off with him and Hope. Steffy beats herself up for getting on the motorcycle again and almost dying. Liam tells her that he doesn't blame her for having an accident. He wants to get a nurse for pain relievers, but Steffy tells him not to. She's trying to be tough. Steffy just wants to go home and be with Kelly. Bill, Brooke and Ridge come in. Bill tells Steffy that he was the one who hit her. She tells him not to blame himself because it was just an accident and she's fine. Steffy then groans in pain, which alarms Ridge. Liam tells him that she was doing that before, too, and he thinks she needs more pain meds. He goes to get the doctor.
Wyatt: Sally. Flo: Is she okay? Oh, my god. Wyatt: Sally? Sally. Flo: Is she okay? Penny: She may have hit her head. Give me some room so I can get her on her back. Wyatt: Okay. Penny: Sally. Sally, can you hear me? Sally. Sally. Brooke: I'm glad steffy's awake. Bill: I just hope she'll be okay. Brooke: She will. [ Elevator door dings ] Liam: Hey, dad. Dad. Hey. I heard steffy got into an accident. Bill: She did, yeah. Brooke: She's awake now, and ridge is in there with her. Liam: She--wait. She's awake now? That means she wasn't awake? It was that bad? Brooke: Uh, yeah, it's bad. I mean, she's hurting, but thankfully there's no head trauma, and we're just waiting to see if she has any broken bones. Liam: So what, this was like a hit-and-run? Some bastard just plowed into her while she was driving or what? Bill: No, liam. It wasn't a hit-and-run. The bastard stopped. The bastard was me. Ridge: Dr. Finnegan. Doctor: How are we doing in here? Steffy: Better. Doctor: Have the premeds kicked in? Steffy: Uh, yeah, a little. Doctor: Only a little? Steffy: Let's just say I'm not ready to run a marathon or--[ Groans ]-- Or even stand up. Ridge: She needs something stronger. What do you think? Doctor: I can get the nurse to up the dosage. Based on these x-rays, I understand why she'd need it. Ridge: Well, what is it? What's wrong with my daughter? Liam: You hit steffy? Bill: It was horrible. Liam: What were you doing? Were you texting while driving? You weren't-- dad, you weren't drinking. Bill: No and no. Look, I don't know exactly what happened, liam. All of a sudden, her motorcycle was right in front of me. I hit the brakes. I swerved. It was just too late. Liam: Well, then it's not your fault. It's just A... a freak accident, I guess, but I would like to see her. I'm assuming... Brooke: She's right in there. Bill: Yeah. Liam: Are you... Bill: Me--y-yeah. Yeah. Go. Doctor: You should feel some more relief after another dose. Steffy: No, no. I--I don't--I don't need it. Doctor: Are you sure? Steffy: Yeah. Doctor: You know, it's totally up to you, but there is no need to suffer. Ridge: What did the x-rays show? Doctor: Bad news is, beyond the contusions, you sprained your back. And my suspicions were correct. You fractured some ribs. Steffy: And the good news? Doctor: The pain that you're in won't last forever. Ribs, they usually heal on their own. Liam: Steffy. Steffy: Hey. Liam: Hey. Uh, what's this about your ribs? Steffy: Fractured. Nothing I can't handle. Doctor: You're very lucky, steffy. It's safe to say wearing a helmet saved your life today. Rest up. And I'll be back to check on you. Steffy: Thank you, dr. Finnegan. Liam: Well, you gave me quite a scare. Steffy: Scared myself. Liam: I'm glad you're okay. I mean, I... I don't know what I would have done if... I don't know what I would have done. That's all. Wyatt: W-what's wrong? Why isn't she responding? Penny: That was a really hard fall, so-- Flo: But it doesn't make any sense. She was faking everything. How can-- Penny: She's not faking now. She's unconscious. Call 911 now. Wyatt: All right. Come on, sally, wake up. Wake up. Come on, wake up. [Radio playing] Brooke: How's steffy? Did the x-rays come back? Ridge: Yeah. She's pretty banged up. She's got some fractured ribs and, uh, strained her back. Bill: I'd like to see her when liam's done. Ridge: I don't care what you like, bill. Bill: I deserve a chance to apologize. Ridge: Just go home. Bill: Please, ridge. This is my fault. I put her in that hospital bed. And I want her to hear directly from me how sorry I am. Steffy: Where's my phone? Liam: It's, uh... Steffy: Well, which one-- Liam: Hey. Hey, steffy, stop it, stop it. Listen, miss ceo, don't worry about the time or meetings or conference calls or any of that. You just worry about resting, okay? Steffy: No, I'm thinking about amelia. I don't know what time she needs to go-- Liam: Steffy. Steffy: ...Or how long I'm gonna be here, liam. Liam: Hey, hey, listen. I'm kelly's dad. Remember? I already called amelia. She's gonna drop kelly off at the cabin. It's fine. Steffy: Hope's gonna be okay with that? Liam: It was hope's idea. Steffy: I'm sure kelly would love that, being with her sister. Liam: Yeah. Steffy: Thank hope for me. Liam: I will. Steffy: Thank you, too. Liam: I'm always gonna be there for our daughter, which I hope you know. Steffy: Yeah. I know. I can't believe I almost wasn'T... there for here--aah. I could have died. [ Sobbing ] Aah. Liam: And--and we're all very grateful that you didn'T. Just-- Steffy: You probably think I'm horrible. Liam: What? Why? Steffy: Ahh... from what happened before, riding my motorcycle with our first child. Liam: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my god, steffy. Oh, my god. I would never think you're horrible for getting back on a bike. I just--hey. Breathe. [ Steffy gasping ] Listen, all that matters is that you rest and you heal. You're gonna be fine, and you're gonna go back to being the best mom kelly could ever ask for, okay? Are you okay? Like... Steffy: Yeah. Fine. Liam: I think--I'm gonna-- Steffy: No, no. Liam: I'm gonna get someone. Steffy: I'm fine. I'm fine, liam. I'm fine. Chances are you have some questions right now Doctor: I'm dr. Griffith. Is anyone here actually family? Because... Wyatt: About as you're gonna get. Her family doesn't live in L.A. But I was engaged to her. Please tell us she's gonna be okay. Dr. Griffith: She is. She's conscious but weak. A bit out of it. She won't suffer any long-term effects from the fall. Flo: Thank god. Dr. Griffith: But she definitely had a panic attack, which is what concerns me. Penny: So it was a panic attack. Dr. Griffith: A severe one. Her body is showing extreme signs of stress, and from what I can tell, it looks like she's been dealing with it for quite some time. She needs rest, a lot of it. If you can promise you won't say or do anything that's going to upset her, I'll allow a short visit if she feels up to it. Sally? You ready for visitors? Yeah. Okay. You have a few minutes. Sally: This is embarrassing. Wyatt: Sally, it's not embarrassing to have a panic attack. Sally: Okay, maybe not, but... waking up in a hospital after pretending to be dying sure is. Sally: Look, I'm so sorry. Flo: We know you are. Sally: I just need you to understand why-- Wyatt: I know. Just stay calm, okay? Watching you pass out was scary as hell. Let's not do that again, all right? Sally: Here I was this whole time telling you to stay calm and to go along with the lie, and here I am, the one who panicked and ended up in a hospital... and losing you... again. I guess we all get what we deserve in the end. Steffy: [ Grunts ] Liam: Are you sure you don't want me to-- to call a nurse? They'll give you something to make you more comfortable. Steffy: No, liam. Liam, I was hit by a car. A little comfort is to be expected. Liam: I mean, yeah, okay, if you're sure. Steffy: I got to show them I can handle a little pain. Once they realize I'm a tough woman, the sooner they'll discharge me. Liam: [ Laughs ] Is--is that how you think it works here? Steffy: Whatever it takes. I just want to see kelly. Promise me you won't say anything to her. Please don't tell her I'm in the hospital. Liam: Got it. Steffy: Oh, I can't believe this happened. I'm missing out on time with my daughter all because of some freak accident. Liam: Do you, um, do you remember much about it? Steffy: No. No, it's all a blur. One minute I'm on my motorcycle enjoying the ride, and... the next minute there's a car right in front of me. I didn't even have time to be scared. It was just there in front of me, and the next thing I know, I woke up in here. Ridge: Hey. Are you okay with some visitors? The doctor said it was fine. Steffy: Yeah. Hi. Hi, bill. Brooke: We were so worried. We're glad to hear that you're gonna be okay. Steffy: I was just telling liam how strange this all is... waking up, my body in pain, wondering what the hell happened, how I got here. Bill: Because of me. Steffy: Bill, what are you saying, I'm here because of you? Bill: I was on my way to you. I wanted to spend some time with my granddaughter. I thought seeing kelly might cheer me up. Steffy: Yeah. She has that effect on people. Bill: I--I'm not sure what happened. I've played it over and over in my head, and I just can'T. I was just-- I was driving along. I was almost to your place. And suddenly there was a motorcycle in front of me. And I slammed on my brakes. But it was too late. Steffy: It was you? You hit me? Bill: You have no idea how terrified I was that you were lying there motionless. I mean, I realized what I'd done, and... Steffy: It's okay. It's okay. Yeah, I'm a bit banged and bruised, but... uh, uh... I'm fine. It was an accident. You don't have to feel guilty. Ee-aah! Ridge: Steffy. [ Steffy gasps ] Steffy? Steffy: Ahh! Ahh! Liam: This was happening earlier. She needs more pain meds, I think. Ridge: Get the doctor. [ Steffy grunts ] You're gonna be all right. Steffy: Aah! Ridge: Okay, it won't last. The pain won't last. Sally: I'm really surprised you all came, that you even care what happens to me. Wyatt: Come on, sally. How could you even say that? Sally: No. You're right. You're right. I'm not surprised because that's exactly who you are. Wyatt: [ Chuckles ] Sally: Both of you, that you're still... worried about me, even after... Flo: Sally, stop. I don't know if this is the right thing for her having us all here. Penny: We should probably let her rest. Sally: Wait. Um, look, I know that I don't have a right to ask you guys anything, but can I... can I just speak to wyatt alone? Please, just for a moment. Wyatt: I'll be out in a minute. Sally: Well... here we are. [ Chuckles ] You by my side in the hospital. It's the exact picture I have been painting for you all these months. Wyatt: Yeah, with some significant alterations to the story, sure. Sally: Look, I really do feel awful. I do, the way that I misled everyone, and I--I-- I promise I'm going to apologize to everyone. Ridge and steffy went out on a limb for me, and katie... oh, god, the way I manipulated her. I... look, I don't expect anyone to forgive me at all, but I just need them to know how sorry I am. Especially you. I mean, you're the reason I even came up with this stupid plan to begin with. The fear of losing you. I just love you so much that I just got desperate. Wyatt: That's one way of putting it. Sally: But I do need you to know how many times over these past few months that I just stopped and questioned how I could have possibly put myself in this situation. I mean, this enormous lie. But then I would remember you... and the life that we were building, the life that... ld still have, you knononow, and I just remember all of our memories, and I just hope, I really hope that, when you think of me, that is what you think of, not this lie that you remember. All of the good times we had. Because we really had something special. And I hate that I was so selfish that I couldn't let you end it the way that you wanted. And I get that you're hurting and a part of you hates me and always will. But I just really hope that, whenever you think of me, that the good memories outweigh the bad. That the story of our love isn't this lie. If you could just understand what I did and what you mean to me and remember... what we were... and why I was so desperate not to give that up. If you could just do that, then maybe... just maybe... you can forgive me.
