Hope looks at Liam down on bended knee. She looks at the huge engagement ring; she looks at the audience, the photographers, Liam again who is asking her to marry him ..she dashes off the stage and Liam follows. Steffy tells her dad that Hope got scared. She's not ready for an intimate relationship and she thinks that is what this is about. She also tells Oliver that she does not think this will end in an engagement. Hope has issues with intimacy. She needs to find Liam right now. Liam follows Hope to the roof and wants to know what just happened. She said she freaked out, but she just needs a little time to gather herself together. He wants to know what she is thinking. He apologized for springing this on her. She admits it was charming and romantic and she does likes his quirkiness. He admits he didn't give it any thought that she might not want it this way. It wasn't exactly personal or intimate. ..She says it was such a romantic, incredible gesture and one she will never forget. She could never be upset with him. Taylor tells Brooke and Stephanie that Liam probably overcompensated, but he definitely has feelings for Steffy. Stephanie wishes she knew how Hope feels, but perhaps she is just not ready to be married. Marcus takes charge and makes an announcement to the media. He and Dayzee get closer. Brooke tells all that this will die down and by the end of the day she is sure there will be an engagement. There will be a wedding and Steffy will just have to accept that. Hope tells Liam they have been through so much. But she just needed to be alone with him. She could not answer him in the public. Thomas tells Oliver that his heart is with his sister, but she's gotta get over Liam or she will get her heart broken again. Hope wants to hear those words one more time  "will you marry me?" Liam pulls out the ring, down on bended knee again and says he loves her, always will love her for the rest of their days and he wants her to be his wife. "Will you marry me?" with Steffy looking on behind the opened door, they kiss and Hope says yes.
Liam: Will you marry me? Hope: (Sighs) Uh, uh... Liam: Are you all right? Ridge: What happened? Stephanie: Why didn't she accept the proposal? Brooke: I don't know. Taylor: Well, maybe she isn't ready to be married. Brooke: No, that's not it. Taylor: Well, are you sure? Brooke: She is ready to commit to Liam. She was just nervous and unprepared. None of us expected this. Stephanie: Oh, well, yeah, that's true. Eric: Well, we certainly didn't--a proposal in front of all these people? Thorne: Listen, the press want to know what's going on. Ridge: Let Marcus handle it. We'll make a statement shortly. Thorne: Okay. Ridge: Excuse me. You okay? Steffy: Well, she didn't say yes. Ridge: You had no idea this was gonna happen? Steffy: No, no, I honestly thought that he was gonna break up with her. Ridge: Steffy, why don't you and I get out of here for a while? Steffy: No, no, Dad. This isn't finished. No, Hope is not ready for an intimate relationship. I think that's what this is about. [SCENE_BREAK] (Car horns honk) Hope: (Sighs) (Sighs) (Sirens wail) Liam: What just happened? Hope: (Sighs) I just needed a minute. Liam: Okay, want me to leave you alone? Hope: No, no, no, no, no. No, I just, um, I just need to get myself together. (Exhales) [SCENE_BREAK] Pam: Now that's entertainment. (Laughs) Thomas: That poor girl was freaked out. Pam: By what? A marriage proposal? All those cameras? All those adoring fans? It's every girl's dream, Thomas. Thomas: Yeah, well, not Hope's, evidently. I wonder what got into her? [SCENE_BREAK] Liam: Hope, talk to me. Hope: (Sighs) Liam: What are you thinking? Hope: You just asked me to marry you. Liam: Yeah. I guess I kind of caught you off guard. I didn't mean to pressure you. Hope: No, I know. I know. Liam: I mean, you were there on the runway, and--and you were wearing the showstopper, and you never looked more beautiful, and I'm standing there holding these signs up. Hope: (Sighs) Liam: It was goofy. Hope: (Sighs) No. Not, it--it was so you. It's who you are, you know? It was crazy and... charming and romantic. Liam: Yeah, but obviously, something went wrong. Hope: (Sighs) Liam: I should have thought this through. Hope: Oh, Liam. I love how quirky you can be, and how--how you can make me laugh and-- Liam: Yeah, but I didn't-- I didn't even consider that this isn't how you wanted it to be when I asked you to marry me. Hope: (Sighs) Mm. [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Was this another Forrester gimmick? Man: Like Thomas kissing Brooke at the end of the runway? Woman: Or Hope's last preview? Marcus: (Scoffs) No, look. I wish I could stand up here and tell you that this was all planned. Everyone knows that if it was my idea, I definitely would be getting a raise... (Laughter) But no, this was totally unscripted. Woman: Well, you left us on a limb. What's Hope going to do? Marcus: Well, if you all stick around, then you may all find that out. Man: We have deadlines. Marcus: And I understand that. Ladies and gentlemen, when Forrester throws a show, anything can happen, and it usually does. Why do you think this is the hottest ticket in the fashion industry? Thank you for your time. [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: What's happening? Ridge: A lot of action on the web, most of it positive. Stephanie: Well, this certainly isn't gonna hurt us. Ridge: Just the opposite from the looks of it here. We'll make a statement after we hear from Hope. Brooke: Well, I-I'm sure she'll have good news. Taylor: Well, I'm not so sure what the news is going to be. I-I know you don't want to hear this, Brooke, but Steffy and Liam do have feelings for each other. Brooke: Taylor, Liam just proposed to my daughter in a very public way. Taylor: Yes, but you still can't discount that Steffy and Liam have been through something, a near-death experience, and something like that can change a person. Stephanie: Well, but I-if that's true, then why did he propose to her? Taylor: You know, that's why I don't think this is going to go maybe the way you think it is, because Liam is overcompensating. Brooke: For what? Taylor: You haven't overcompensated for feelings you shouldn't be feeling? Brooke: Okay, no more psychobabble, please. Liam is in love with Hope. He has been for a very long time. Hope was just nervous, that's all. Let's remain positive. Taylor: Well, that's easy for you to say. Your daughter wasn't the one hurt. Brooke: If Steffy was hurt by this, it was all her fault. She never should have allowed herself to develop feelings for Liam. Ridge: Logan, keep in mind he saved her life. Brooke: Okay, yes, I understand that. But it's unfortunate that Steffy is falling for Liam, because he's obviously in love with Hope. Stephanie: Well, we're just going on and on here. I mean, really, does anybody know how Hope feels? Brooke, maybe she's not ready to get married. Brooke: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: Hey. How you doin'? I wouldn't give up on Hope just yet. Oliver: Come on, Steffy. Liam popped the big question. Hope's primed for it. Steffy: Oliver, look, I-I-I saw the look on Hope's face. She seemed very freaked out. Oliver: You seem confident. Why? Steffy: Liam is a stand-up guy, and we went through something very intense, and I know it shook him up, and I think Hope picked up on that. Oliver: Really? Steffy: Yeah. Oliver: You don't think they'll come out of this engaged? Steffy: Honestly, I don't think Hope's ready. [SCENE_BREAK] Liam: I mean, maybe-- maybe there's something I can do to repair the damage, you know? Hope: Damage? What? Liam: Well, yeah, I-I embarrassed you in front of all those people. Hope: Oh, God, no. No, you didn't embarrass me. Liam: I didn't? Hope: No. No, it's just, I-- oh, God. I-I was up on that stage, you know, wearing the showstopper, and--and everyone's eyes were on me, and all these cameras were going off. It was my big moment, and... (Sighs) And--and there you were in the back holding up signs. (Sighs) Liam, Liam, that was the moment that I have always dreamed of-- the man that I love so much was asking me to marry him. And it was in--you know, in front of my whole family, and--and the --the fashion media, and, you know, it's being streamed over the internet with millions of people watching. Liam: Not exactly personal and intimate, is it? Hope: Oh, God. (Stammers) It was just-- it was all so unbelievable. I mean, there--there I am, and my--my heart was beating so fast. And I couldn't think about anything, anything else except all the eyes that were on me and all the cameras that were going off everywhere. And I think I-I-I just-- I got overwhelmed, and--and I-I kind of panicked a little. But, Liam... Liam, that is a moment that I will never, ever forget. It was such an incredible, romantic gesture. Liam: Really? I mean, that's how you feel? You're not upset? Hope: Liam. (Laughs) Liam Spencer, you are amazing. How could I ever be upset with you? Liam: (Chuckles) (Laughs) Hope: (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Oliver: I don't know, Steff. Hope's been waitin' a long time for this. Steffy: You know, things have changed between Liam and me. Oliver: You really don't think she's gonna accept his proposal? Steffy: Hope knows there's something going on between us. I mean, she has issues did you see the panicky look on her face? I have a good feeling that she's going to say no. But I gotta make sure. I gotta find 'em. [SCENE_BREAK] Dayzee: Hey. Marcus: Hey. Dayzee: (Squeals) Marcus: So how did I do? Dayzee: Good. It was very sexy. Marcus: Yeah? Dayzee: Yeah. Marcus: You know, I can dance when I have to. Dayzee: I see that. No, seriously, you had the reporters, like, eating out of the palm of your hand. Marcus: That must be from my athletic background. Dayzee: Mm, tell me about it. Marcus: Well, you know-- cross over left. Cross over right. Dayzee: (Laughs) Marcus: Dodge a question here and there. Shoot a jump shot, and swish--nothing but net. Dayzee: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. You know who else was watching? Marcus: Who? Dayzee: Eric-- he was very impressed. Marcus: Yeah? Dayzee: Yes, I could see him promoting you to vice president. Marcus: Hmm, vice president, hey? Dayzee: Mm-hmm. Marcus: That's not too bad. That's kind of cool. Dayzee: (Laughs) Marcus: But you know what I would want? Dayzee: What? Marcus: For a certain someone to promote me to boyfriend status. Dayzee: Really? Marcus: Yes, Darling. Dayzee: Well, consider yourself promoted. Marcus: Mm, promotion accepted. Dayzee: (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Eric: (Sighs) Ridge: How's it goin' with the press? Eric: Marcus took charge. He did a good job. Any word from Hope and Liam? Ridge: Not yet. Eric: Well, for the moment, I suggest we downplay this. Stephanie: Downplay it? Why? Ridge: Yeah, Dad, there's a lot of buzz online. Stephanie: She walked off the stage. She didn't give him an answer. Brooke: Liam will have his answer. By the end of the day, we will all be celebrating an engagement. Eric: Well, we can't be sure of that, Brooke. Brooke: Oh, come on. A week ago, Steffy was madly in love with Bill Spencer. Yes, she's infatuated with Liam. He is her hero at the moment, but still-- Taylor: No, it's more than that, Brooke. Her feelings for Liam are very sincere. Brooke: She is using this to come between Hope and Liam. But Liam proposed to Hope. There is going to be a wedding, and Steffy's just going to have to accept that. Taylor: (Scoffs) [SCENE_BREAK] Pam: Come on, Hope. Marry the poor guy. Put him out of his misery. Steffy: Hey, Pam, um, have you seen Liam? Pam: Uh, he's with Hope. Steffy: Okay, where? Pam: Beats me, but, Honey, that's where you're gonna find him-- with his, uh, fiancée. Steffy: We'll see. [SCENE_BREAK] Liam: So... we're good? Hope: (Laughs) Better than good. Liam: (Chuckles) Hope: Liam, I just-- I needed to be alone with you to touch you and to savor this moment. Liam: (Sighs) Hope: (Sighs) We have been through so much. Liam: Yeah. Hope: But we made it. Liam: We made it. Hope: (Laughs) (Sighs) (Bianca Moon's "Shining Star" playing) There's been twists and turns but now you're back in my arms where you belong it's been hard on you but we've made it through the good times and the bad times and the times when the tide was too high you called my name and I'd lift you up to the sky 'cause you you're my shining star you're the light I see at night you're the world to me you're my shining star you're the light. Liam: I said will you marry me? Hope: (Laughs) (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Steffy: Hey. Woman: Hi, Steffy. Woman: Great preview. A little drama there towards the end, huh? Steffy: Yeah, actually have you guys seen Hope a-and Liam by any chance? Woman: I just saw them going towards the stairwell. It looked like they were going to the roof. Woman: Yeah, I hope he doesn't jump, poor guy. Woman: (Chuckles) Yeah. Steffy: Uh, thanks. [SCENE_BREAK] Thomas: Hey. Everything under control? Oliver: They are strikin' the set. Thomas: Good. Good. Great show. Oliver: Yep. A little strange at the end, though. Thomas: You know, uh... maybe you should give up, Oliver. Oliver: Ya think? Steffy doesn't think they'll get married. Thomas: All right, is something going on with Steffy and Liam? Oliver: Ever since her accident. Thomas: Right. (Chuckles) I don't know when she's gonna learn. You, too, Man. You need to stop. Move on, okay? Hope is in love with Liam, and he feels exactly the same way about her. Everybody sees that. Oliver: Except Steffy. Thomas: Steffy's in denial. My heart goes out for my sister, but she's just gonna get her heart broken again. [SCENE_BREAK] Brooke: Look, I am sensitive to Steffy, too. She's been through an ordeal. Liam saved her. I get it. But I'm not going to let her use what happened to come between Hope and Liam and ruin my daughter's happiness. Stephanie: Well, wait a minute, Brooke. It might not be up to you. Taylor: Hope's the one who walked off the stage. You don't know what that means any more than we do. I think it's a little premature to assume there's an engagement. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: What a night. Liam: It's beautiful. Hope: Mm. See, this feels right-- being in your arms. Liam: A starry night-- I ordered that, by the way. Hope: (Laughs) Liam: (Laughs) Hope: Hey. Liam: Yeah? Hope: Say it one more time. Say those words one more time. Liam: I love you, Hope Logan, and I'll always love you-- tonight, tomorrow, and the rest of our days. Hope: (Giggles) Liam: And I want you to be my wife. Will you marry me? Hope: Yes. (Laughs) Liam: (Laughs) Hope: Yes, I would like nothing more than to be your bride. (Giggles) (Laughs) (Laughs) I love you so much. Liam: I love you, too. Hope: (Laughs) Liam: We're engaged. Hope: I know. Liam: (Laughs) We're engaged.
