Brooke tells her sisters that she is holding up the best she can. She's not sure she will ever be over the island adventure. Brooke is interested in how things are going with Bill moving back in with Katie. She confesses that she thought they'd go back to the way they were, but they haven't been intimate. Usually they can't keep their hands off each other. Donna wonders if something more is happening with Bill. Justin catches Bill in a pensive mood and he asks if there is something important on his mind. Bill says Steffy  he can't get her off his mind. Justin knows the girl has been throwing herself at him, so wonders what happened on the plane and the island. Slowly Bill tells him that he feels Katie betrayed him in therapy and he has not been physical with her for weeks. Justin asks if this is against Katie or because of his feelings for Steffy. Steffy tells Thomas that she is happy his date with Dayzee went so well. She wants only good things for him. But she wishes he would open up on his island experiences. He replies that it was what it was and he just wants to put it behind him. He knows that she and Bill spent a lot of time searching for them so he'd like to know what happened between them. She reveals that even though he is a married man, he told her that he loved her. Katie promises Donna that she is not going to let Steffy be an issue. She is keeping close tabs on her. She says she understands why Bill was upset when she left him. She will just have to work harder in proving her love for him. Thomas stops by Brooke's when she doesn't show up for work. She asks about his date with Dayzee and he tells her it went well, but Dayzee is very intuitive and suspects he is keeping things from them. Thomas says he can not tell Dayzee and Brooke certainly can not tell his dad. She is positive even in this other world that they could not have done anything like that. But she gave Ridge her solid word and she can not ignore that. Bill calls Steffy and says it is important. He needs to meet her right now. She's at her grandparent's guest house. She invites him in. She says she is glad he called; she wanted to see him. He's been on her mind. He says he needed to see her, but before he can say more, she tells him to stop and she kisses him. He returns the kiss.
Katie: We've been worried about you. Donna: How are you holding up? Brooke: Oh, I'm doing the best I can. It's a lot to handle. Brooke: I'm not sure I'll ever really get over it. Katie: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Thomas: Dayzee, I really had a great time with you last night. Dayzee: I know. I had a good time, too. It was--it was pretty magical. Thomas: My dad did go all out, didn't he? Dayzee: Yeah. (Laughs) He did. He's a proud papa. He loves you. He'd do anything for you. Thomas: I'm lucky to have him. Dayzee: (Sighs) Listen, Thomas, as magical as last night was, and as special, I can't help thinking that there's something going on with you, you know, that you're not telling me something. Thomas: Dayzee... (Sighs) You don't have to worry about me. Let's just focus on spending some more time together. Dayzee: Yeah. Okay. Thomas: Check your schedule, uh, and I'll call you soon. Hey, um, I heard that Dayzee's got a little revamp since I've been gone. I should, come by and check it out. [SCENE_BREAK] [Bill remembering] Steffy: Oh, my God! Oh, my God, Bill, I love you. Bill: I love you, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: I went over this contract in the Brazilian deal. They're not even in the ballpark with these numbers. What do you want me to do? Bill, the Brazilian deal-- what do you want me to do? Bill: Yeah, I don't know. Just, you know, do what you think is best. Justin: Something on your mind? Bill: Steffy. Justin: (Sighs) Bill: I can't get her out of my mind. [SCENE_BREAK] Leilani: Thanks. We're real pleased with the new look of the place and glad you like the changes. Let me know if you need anything. Anthony: You have not stopped smilin' since you came in her this morning. I like it. Dayzee: Mm-hmm. Anthony: It looks good on you. Dayzee: Well, you know how it is. You gotta smile for the customers. It's part of the job. Anthony: Unh-unh. That's more than just a customer service smile. That's a "I'm in love" kind of smile. Dayzee: (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Thomas: Ow! Okay. Steffy: What? Thomas: (Coughs) Steffy: I can't help it. Every time I see you, I just have to give you a big hug, all right? Thomas: Okay, you've hugged me, like... Steffy: Like this. (Laughs) Thomas: (Groans) A m-million times since I've been home. Steffy: Hey, that's because I love you, all right? And I thought I lost you, so I'm allowed to hug you at random for at least another three weeks, yeah. Thomas: (Sighs) Okay. Well, a knock would be nice. Steffy: What?! I am your sister. I do not have to knock, okay? Thomas: Were you listening in on my phone conversation? And be honest. Steffy: No, no, no, no. I swear I wasn't. But the look on your face says it was... Thomas: (Sighs) Steffy: Dayzee? Thomas: Yeah. Steffy: Mm. Thomas: It was about our date last night. Dad set it up. Steffy: Oh, "Mr. Romance" himself. (Laughs) Thomas: Yep, her first experience with the classic Ridge Forrester. (Chuckles) It was incredible. She, uh, she looked great. Steffy: Well, I'm happy for you. You deserve nothing but good things after what happened. Thomas: Thanks. (Chuckles) So are you here to brainstorm P.R. ideas for Taboo? Steffy: No. Thomas: Okay, then what are you doing here, Steffy? 'Cause I am a little busy. Steffy: Thomas... seriously. Thomas: (Sighs) Steffy: Are you ever gonna open up to me about what happened? [SCENE_BREAK] Katie: I know Taylor was really concerned about your reaction at the press conference. Brooke: (Sighs) Donna: But come on. You know Taylor. She's probably just overreacting, overly concerned. She's a shrink after all. Katie: Well, the important thing is that you're home with Ridge right where you belong. Brooke: Right. (Sighs) Well, enough about me. (Laughs) I want to hear about what's going on with you, Katie. I know you moved back in with Bill recently. How is it living with him again? [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: You and Steffy spent a good amount of time together searching for Brooke and Thomas. It must have been quite an experience if you can't stop thinking about her. Bill: When we heard Thomas' voice, when we realized that he and Brooke were alive, I mean, we had gone trough a tremendous amount to find them. When I saw what it meant to Steffy, how much he loves her brother, I don't know. I-it affected me somehow. I can't really explain it. Justin: So you and Steffy are on the plane. She's crazy about you. You just shared this monumental moment. What happened next? Or should I ask? Bill: It's not what you're thinking. Justin: Something happened. The girl's been throwing herself at you. Bill: She told me she loved me. Justin: (Scoffs) Wow, okay. So how did you handle that? Bill: I told her I loved her, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Dayzee: Love, hmm? I don't know. It's a big word, Anthony. Anthony: Well, Dayzee, you do have that glow in those beautiful eyes. Dayzee: Well, a did have an amazing date last night. Anthony: Oh, really? Dayzee: Mm-hmm. Anthony: Is that with Mr. Thomas Forrester, I presume? Dayzee: Yes, it was with Thomas. You know, he's a great guy. He's charming, and he treats me so good, which is, you know, new, and I don't know. I've never met anyone like him. You know what? Actually, I can't wait for you to get to know him better, hmm? Anthony: Mm-hmm. You know, it sounds to me like the "l" word may not be too far behind. Dayzee: (Groans) You know, maybe. Anthony: You know what? Seriously, I'm thrilled for you, Dayzee. I mean, with all the love that you've given so many people, you deserve someone real special in your life. Dayzee: (Sighs) Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Thomas: There's nothing more to tell, okay? It was what it was-- an awful experience that I just-- I want to put behind me. Steffy: Okay. No, I-I get it. That's the way you deal with things. Thomas: (Sighs) Steffy: But I'm here if you want to talk. Thomas: Don't count on it. But I appreciate the concern. So you and Bill spent a lot of time alone together while searching for us. Anything happen with you two? Steffy: Um, well, he told me he loved me. Thomas: He told you he loved you? Steffy: Yes. (Chuckles) Thomas: Wow. He is married. Just don't forget that, Steff. Steffy: Trust me. I Haven't. Thomas: Okay, just be careful. You do own a lot of Forrester stock. Steffy: Thomas, don't worry. I'm gonna be fine, okay? Thomas: I gotta go. I-I got someplace to be. Steffy: But can I just get one more hug before I go? Thomas: Oh, Sis. Steffy: (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: Katie, is everything okay with you and Bill? Katie: Yea. (Sighs) No. (Sighs) Donna: No? What--what do you mean, no? Katie: I just--I thought that we would be able to reconnect, you know? I-I thought that we would just go back to the way we were. But it hasn't been the smoothest transition. Brooke: He has to be happy that you're home. Katie: I guess so. It's just that we haven't been intimate since I've been back. Donna: You're joking, right? Katie: No and that's not like us. We normally can't keep our hands off of each other. Brooke: Maybe he just has resentment towards you for leaving. Katie: Yeah, I think that much is clear. He definitely does. Donna: I-I don't know, Katie. Um, you know, something's off. You--you haven't been in his bed for weeks, weeks, and now you are, and he's not doing anything about it? I hate to say this, but, uh, don't you wonder if maybe something more is going on with Bill? Katie: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: You're in love with Steffy, or is this lust? Bill: Lust-- listen, I know lust, and I wish that's all it was. That would make this a whole lot easier. Justin: (Sighs) Yeah. Bill: But no, it's deeper than that. Look, I may not need to say this, Justin, but I'm going to say it anyway. Justin: Okay. Bill: What we discuss within the confines of this office stays in this office. What we discuss as men, as friends, stays between us. You're in a unique situation now. You are married to Katie's sister. Do not betray my trust. Justin: Of course not. Bill: (Sighs) The only other woman I have ever said "I love you" to... Justin: (Sighs) Bill: Is my wife. Justin: So what does that mean for Katie? I know you still love her, too. Bill: Yes, I do love her. Justin: Mm-hmm. Bill: But there are issues. Justin: So what? She walked out on you? Bill: She betrayed me. Justin: Betrayed you? (Scoffs) Bill: She revealed something in that therapy session, something that could get me arrested. Justin: It was professional. Confidentiality is protected. Bill: Well, there are certain things that a therapist may be compelled to reveal. I just can't believe Katie said what she said. Justin: She didn't mean to-- Bill: It was a very isolated, dark moment. Justin: (Sighs) Okay, but she didn't mean to hurt you, Bill. Bill: No, she didn't, but she did. And things haven't been the same since. She compromised my trust, Justin. I haven't even been physical with her... Justin: (Scoffs) Bill: And you know me. Justin: Yes, I know you. So does that mean things have changed between you and Katie, or is it your feelings for Steffy? I mean, what's he real issue here, Bill? Whoa. [SCENE_BREAK] Katie: Wow, thanks, Donna. Way to make me feel better. Donna: (Sighs) Look, Katie, I-I'm not trying to be insensitive. I'm sorry. I-I know he loves you. But I don't really trust him. (Stammers) And it's not because of what he almost did with Amber, but it--it's because of his past involvement with Steffy. Katie: Trust me. I am keeping close tabs on Steffy. I am not going to let her become an issue. Donna: Are you sure? Brooke: (Sighs) Donna. Donna: Well, I mean, Steffy and Bill were together the whole time they were searching for you and Thomas, and you know Steffy. You know her. I wouldn't put it past her to--to make a pass at him. Katie: Look, I'm not gonna do myself any favors by getting all insecure. I had my reasons for leaving, but I understand why he's upset. And I'm just gonna have to work harder to fix things, but I will fix things. I have confidence in my marriage. [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: Katie feels I need to be fixed. Steffy loves e for who I am. She doesn't want o change me. Justin: So what are you gonna do? You're in love with two women, and at some point, you're gonna have to make a choice. (Scoffs) I wish you luck, Man. [SCENE_BREAK] (Cell phone rings) (Ring) Steffy: Hello. Bill: I need to see you. Steffy: When? Bill: Now. Meet me somewhere. It's important. Steffy: Um, I'm-- I'm staying at my grandparents' guesthouse. Meet me there. Bill: I'm on my way. [SCENE_BREAK] Donna: Now you call us if you need anything. Promise. Brooke: Oh, I promise. And thank you for coming by. You two are just amazing. Donna: (Sighs) Katie: Oh, hey, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be at the office. Thomas: Uh, I just-- I just forgot some sketches here last night. Katie: Oh. Donna: Okay, well, you hang in there. Brooke: Yeah. (Sighs) Donna: We love you so much. Brooke: Love you. Bye. Katie: Love you. See ya. Donna: Bye. Thomas: Bye. Thomas: You okay? You didn't come into work today. Brooke: Oh. Yeah. I just didn't feel up to it. So how was your date with Dayzee last night? Thomas: It was incredible. What Dad did or us, it really means a lot. Brooke: Yeah, she is an amazing young woman. Thomas: She's also very intuitive. She thinks there's something wrong with me, but I don't want to talk about it. I just want to forget what happened. Brooke: When you were having dinner with Dayzee last night, did you feel like confiding in her? Thomas: Wait, are y--are you asking me this because you are considering telling Dad? Look, this is hard on me, too. I'm having to keep secret from my father. But it's better for him not to know. Brooke: I still think he'd understand. There were extreme, extenuating circumstances. And, yes, we shared a closeness, but that was it. (Sighs) I wish to God it never happened. Thomas: (Sighs) Look, you just have to forget it. Put it out of your mind. We can't confide in anybody. I can't tell Dayzee, and you can't tell your sisters. And you can never, ever tell Dad. Brooke: I don't know if I can go on keeping this from Ridge. And making it into this huge secret only makes it worse. Thomas: We don't even know for sure what really happened you know, how far it went. Brooke: All I can believe is that it was two people that were completely out of their minds, near death, in this different world. It wasn't real. There's no way that you and I... (Sighs) We couldn't have. No, that didn't happen. Thomas: No, it wasn't us. It was the berries. Brooke: Okay, okay. Well, then, if it was the berries-- you know, they probably saved our lives, and for that reason, Ridge would understand. Thomas: Brooke, you don't want to hurt him. You don't want to put these things in his mind, so don't tell him. Brooke: Ridge trusts me, and I promised him that I would never, ever keep anything from him ever again. Thomas: (Sighs) Brooke: I gave him my solemn word. How can I just ignore that? [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: Oh, my God. (Knock on door) Steffy: Hi. Come on in. I'm glad you called. I've been wanting to see you. Bill: I needed to see you. Steffy: Well, you've been on my mind. And I think I've been on your mind. Bill: Steffy, I came-- Steffy: Stop. Just stop.
