Brooke tells Katie that she protected her and was not going to let Bill do this to her. Katie said she trusted Bill and thought she was going to get her life back only to find it was a big betrayal. Brooke says the papers are null and void now because Bill does not have them. They are gone and she replaced her Aspen leaves for them. Katie says she wishes she could see Bill's face. Bill picks up a few leaves and crushes them with his palm. Justin asks him where are the papers? Bill says they aren't here. Brooke did it, who else could it be. Donna looks over Wyatt's plaques and says the jewel heist almost made him a big rock star. Donna praises him for getting over 5000 fan letters since yesterday. He says yes and Hope's page has gotten close to 4 million hits. Winning feels pretty damn good. Proofs come in hot off the press and Donna shows them to Wyatt. They are of Hope and she looks gorgeous. She teases him about having a massive crush. He asks where Hope is today and Donna says Liam came and spirited her away. He inquires if she knows where. Donna says she thinks they are out at his place in Malibu. Hope and Liam walk over the property where he shows her a few more changes but every time Wyatt's name comes up he refuses to call him his brother. He tells Hope it's something to do with Wyatt is so smooth and so slick all the time, he's so phony. Then he stops and says no more talking about Wyatt. He gives Hope a quick kiss on the cheek. They go inside and change into their beach clothes. She looks at the table he has set up and says he thought of everything, not a detail spared. He says of course, he even ordered the sunshine. He kisses her again. Justin wants to know how this happened and does Katie know about it. Bill says obviously Brooke found a moment when he and Katie were arguing and switched the leaves for the papers. He assumes Katie will know by now and he has to go see Brooke. Brooke tells Katie none of this would have happened in the first place if she hadn't given in on her feelings for Bill. Katie says but now he's lost as he doesn't have Katie, he doesn't have his company and he doesn't have Will ..or Brooke. He has nothing! Hope tells Liam that everything tastes so good. She looks up and there comes Wyatt. He holds the pictures in his hand and tells her that he just had to track her down and show her the pictures. Liam of course is less than enthused to see him and even says can't he see they are in the middle of something. Wyatt says yes but when he heard that his bro would be here he kind of figured he'd want to see the pictures too. Hope takes them and is anxious to see them. Donna drops in on Katie and she fills her in on the details of Bill's coming home and her foolishly taking him back. And then in 24 hours Bill went back to being Bill. She was suspicious but she really wanted to believe it was real. She signed the papers and then he ran right back to Brooke. He faked their breakup; he just wanted the company and his son. He did not want her. So coming home was just one big fat lie. Donna is surprised to hear that Justin was in on it too and is glad she divorced him. And she is proud of Brooke that she stood up to Bill and won't have anything else to do with him. That is the old Brooke that they know and love. Katie looks a little doubtful. At Brooke's, Bill walks right on it and asks her what she did with the papers. Did she shred them or burn them. She says he had to be stopped. They argue again with him saying that Katie left him no choice but to betray her. She took his company and his son. She shouts at him to stop this. Do not blame this on Katie. He tells her that this became a game to Katie. She didn't really want to be CEO or even him. It was a game to see how long she could keep him right where she wanted him. And she wanted to see if he could live up to her standards. She wanted to win. Brooke points out that he lied to Katie and he lied to everyone. What he did to Katie was unforgivable. He says he is sorry but he had to do that to make it work. She says she packed his bags. She wants him gone. He's no longer welcome in this house. He says he had to do something as Katie cut him off at the knees. He only wanted three things  his company, his son and Brooke. She says he did not have to stoop to this level to get that. Bill says they had it all so how could she take that away. Wyatt pulls up a chair and sits besides Hope and asks what are "we" having. When Liam looks disgusted, Wyatt makes fun of the gluten free food and the rice cakes. Hope says they are all good but he better stay clear of the hot peppers. Wyatt stands up and starts pulling off his pants. Liam about has a heart attack until Wyatt shows him that he has on beach shorts. He sits back down and says he is starved and starts to help himself. Hope is trying to stifle her giggles and Liam is glaring darts. Hope asks what is it going to take for them to get along. Wyatt says Liam just needs to man up a little. They yee-haw about that and finally Liam gets up for a challenge. Hope is afraid to look. They play a little paddle ball and Liam taunts Wyatt. Wyatt gets back by having him distracted so Liam turns his back and when he turns back around Wyatt hits the ball right into Liam's open mouth. Wyatt digs into the peppers first but Liam is right behind to prove himself too. Wyatt eats two, Liam eats two and then three. While Wyatt is still chomping on his, Liam grabs a glass of water and chugs it down. Wyatt spits out his peppers. Then he fools around with the charcoal and binoculars and Hope hands them to Liam to look out at the water. When he turns around he has charcoal circles around his eyes. He looks like a raccoon. They play some tennis with each trying to best the other. Then Wyatt turns the automatic machine on and the balls are zipping past Liam at breakneck speed hitting him in the butt. Finally they give up and Hope wonders why they always have to be in competition. Liam tells Wyatt to just leave. Wyatt looks at Hope and asks if she wants him to leave. Donna tries to smooth things with Katie by saying she is still CEO and she still has custody of Will. She just hopes that Bill doesn't try to manipulate the papers from Brooke. Katie says she has quit trying to figure out what Brooke will do a long time ago. Brooke tells Bill that he has problems deep, dark, vicious problems. He says tell him something that he does not know. He's a driven person and that is why he is so successful. She says maybe so but he went too far this time. She tells him he needs to stop and think how his actions affect others (errr Brooke, pot calling kettle black). He admits he was so focused on his goal that he didn't consider the consequences. He was already thinking that way but the fall definitely played a part is him losing his judgment. He says again he is sorry for the pain he caused especially to her. She says he went far and beyond what he usually does and that can't be undone. She tells him that he has to stop this or he is going to end up alone and with nothing. He tells her that he knows he screwed up and what he did was wrong, but for her please do not do this. Do not give up on them. He needs her to forgive him.
Katie: You protected me. Brooke: Bill has hurt you enough already. I wasn't gonna let him get away with this. Katie: I believed him... when he said he wanted our life back... only to find out it was just a big betrayal. Brooke: I'm sorry. Katie: I signed those papers. I gave him back his company. I gave him equal custody of will. Brooke: Yeah, but that's all null and void now. Bill doesn't have those papers anymore. They're gone. Because you replaced them with the leaves from aspen. Katie: Oh, my god. I wish I could see the look on his face when he realizes that he's the one who got played. Justin: Where are the papers? Bill: Not here. Justin: Damn it. Alison: What's with the leaves? Bill: Brooke brought them back from aspen. Justin: Brooke did this? Bill: Well, I don't know who the hell else it would be. Donna: You stop one jewelry heist, and now you're like a big rock star. Wyatt: Yeah, well, what can I say? Donna: P.R. Said that the Wyatt fuller fan page had over 5,000 likes since yesterday. Wyatt: Yeah. Yeah, and the hope for the future page passed 3 million this morning, and we're on track to pass 4 million by tomorrow. Donna: Hmm. Wyatt: We're blowing up worldwide. Donna: And Scotland yard itself commends you for catching the jewel thieves. Wyatt: Yeah. Donna: Special thanks from LAPD. I mean, what's next? A Nobel? Wyatt: Why not? Winning feels pretty damn good. Liam: So did you notice I planted some of your favorites? Hope: Yes, I did. You've got lavender and rosemary and -- oh, my gosh. I love the fire pit. I can totally see you and your brother -- Liam: [Clears throat] Half-brother. Hope: Liam... Liam: What? Hope: Why -- why can't you just admit that you and Wyatt are family? Liam: I don't know. Something about how smooth he is, how slick all the time. It's just -- it's phony to me. It's... no more talk about Wyatt, okay? Hope: Okay. Donna: Thank you. Hot off the presses. Wyatt: Yes. Donna: Ooh. Looks like hope for the future photos. Wyatt: Wow. These are great. Look at her. Hope looks incredible. Donna: Looks like somebody has a massive crush. Wyatt: What? Me? I'm -- hey... kind of...where is she? Donna: Liam came by. Swept her away. Wyatt: Hmm. Do you know where? Donna: Oh, um, I think they went to his place. Wyatt: Malibu. Nice day. Been a while since I've been out there. Hope: Oh, wow! You really thought of everything. Liam: Yes, ma'am. Not a detail was spared. I even special-ordered the sunshine. Hope: Oh, that's nice and so sweet of you. [Both chuckle] Justin: How did this happen? Bill: Brooke obviously switched out the papers when I wasn't paying attention. Justin: Does Katie know about this? Bill: Well, I have to assume she does by now. Alison: What are you gonna do? Bill: What else can I do? I've got to go see Brooke. Katie: I knew something was wrong when Justin showed up with those papers. God, I should have listened to myself. Brooke: I'm sorry, Katie. This never would have happened if I hadn't given in to my feelings for bill in the first place. You would still be a family. Katie: It was stupid to think I could ever trust him. His loss. He doesn't have me. He doesn't have his company. He doesn't have will. Or you. What does he have? Nothing. Bill has nothing. Hope: Everything looks so good! Ooh. Thank you so much, Liam. This is so nice. Liam: Of course. That off. You've got to be kidding me. Wyatt: I just had to find you. The new hope for the future photos are amazing. Liam: Dude, can you see that we're in the middle of something? Wyatt: Yeah, I can see that. But when I heard you were here, I just kind of figured my bro would like to see these pictures, too. Hope: I want to see them. Wyatt: Yeah? Hope: Yes, please. Oh, my gosh! These are stunning. Oliver did such a good job. This campaign is amazing. Katie: Thank you for coming by. Donna: What's going on? Katie: [Sighs] Donna: Last I heard, uh, bill broke it off with Brooke and begged you to take him back. Did you? Katie: [Sighs] Yes. I stupidly took him back. Donna: What happened? Katie: We had a lovely 24 hours, and then bill went back to being bill. I guess in hindsight it was a very bill move. Donna: What did he do? Katie: Well, he came home. He spent the night, he spent time with will, and he seemed so grateful to be back, and then Justin showed up the next morning, and he just happened to have papers with him reinstating bill as C.E.O. And giving bill equal custody of will, and all the papers needed was my signature. Donna: Uh-oh. Katie: Bill acted all surprised and was like, "Katie, you don't have to sign these papers now. Justin, this can wait." [Sighs] I was suspicious, but I just wanted so badly to believe that it was real. Donna: Oh, no, Katie. Katie: I signed the papers. And he ran right back to Brooke. He faked their breakup. He just wanted his life back. He wanted his company, and he wanted his son. He didn't want me. Brooke: You know the manila envelope that bill brought with the documents in it for you to sign? Well, while he was talking to you, I took those documents out and I replaced them with the leaves that I brought home from aspen. Bill: Dead leaves. Nice touch. They were obviously supposed to be symbolic. Donna: What do you think? Bill: So what'd you do with the papers? Shred them? Burn them? Brooke: You had to be stopped, bill. Bill: Do you understand what you did to me? I finally had my life back -- my son, my company. Brooke: What are you talking about? You betrayed Katie. You made her believe that she had you back. Bill: She left me no choice, Brooke! Brooke: Stop it! Do not blame this on Katie! Bill: Oh, why couldn't you just let this be? She signed the papers. She resigned as C.E.O. Listen, I don't care what kind of front she puts up. She was relieved. It's not a job she ever really wanted in the first place. You know what? She didn't really want me, either. Brooke: What are you talking about? Bill: It became a game for Katie. "Let's see how long I can keep bill right where I want him. Let's see how long he can live up to my standards before I decide that he's not good enough and I'll take off again." Brooke: She wanted you back, bill. Bill: She wanted to win. Brooke: She thought that you were coming home, and you lied to her. You lied to everyone. Bill: I'm sorry I lied to you. But I had to for it to work. Brooke: What you did to Katie was unforgivable. I packed your things. I want you gone. You're no longer welcome in this house. Wyatt: All right. What are we having, huh? Liam: "We"? Wyatt: Looks fantastic. What? Gluten-free?! Of course it is. What is this, rice ch-- rice cheese? You like this stuff? Hope: It's good. Yeah. No, it's really good. And, you know, we've got this whole, like, Mexican fiesta thing going on. But don't eat these peppers, 'cause they are deadly. Wyatt: [Chuckles] May I? Liam: Oh, please. Yes. Go right ahead. [Sighs] Wyatt: Not bad. All right, well, might as well get comfortable. Liam: Whoa! Hey, dude! Whoa! What are you doing? Wyatt: Beach shorts. Beach house. Come on. Whatever. Get comfortable. [Sighs] I'm starving. [Chuckles] Good time. This any good? Yeah. Donna: Can't believe this. The whole getting back together was just one big fat lie? Katie: Yeah, pretty much. Bill wanted his company back and to see will whenever he wanted. Donna: Katie, I'm so sorry. You must feel so betrayed. Katie: I'm feeling a lot of things right now. Yeah, betrayal is about at the top of the list. Donna: What a selfish jerk. Katie: Yeah. Donna: And Justin -- did he know about this? Katie: He drew up the papers. Donna: I am so glad I divorced him. Katie: Apparently bill thought of this in aspen after his big epiphany. Donna: And of course he had to lie to Brooke because he knew that she wouldn't go along with it. Well, at least Brooke will have nothing to do with him after all of this. Katie: You never know. But it would surprise me. She was awfully angry with him for what he had done. Yeah, I'm proud of Brooke for standing up for you like this. I mean, that's -- that's the old Brooke that we know and love. Changing out papers for dead leaves -- that's a good one. And bill? He's getting exactly what he deserves. Bill: I understand why you're upset. Brooke: The lengths that you will go to to get what you want -- it's unbelievable. Bill: I had to do something, Brooke. I was desperate. Brooke: Not this. Not stoop to this level. Bill: You mean Katie's level? Is that what you mean, Brooke? Because she cut me off at the knees. She conned me out of my company, joint custody of my son. You know that. Brooke: I get it. But you played my sister. How dare you? And to think that I wanted her to be with you. I encouraged it. My god! [Sighs] Bill: Misguided as it was, I did it for us. I didn't feel whole as a man. I needed my son. I needed my company. And I needed you. That's all I wanted. You, my son, and my company. And we had it, Brooke. We had it all. How could you take it away? Hope: What is it going to take for the two of you to get along? Wyatt: This guy just needs to man up a little. Liam: Oh, I just need to man up? Wyatt: Yeah. Liam: I need to man up. Wyatt: Yeah. Liam: Yeah? Wyatt: Yeah. Liam: Yeah? Wyatt: Yes. Liam: Here's me manning up. Maybe it's time maybe I'm crazy Hope: Oh, boy. But I need to find something that's gonna be all mi-I-I-I-ne maybe you'll see my name in lights maybe it's love, but I don't mind maybe we're far but you're never far from my mind just in time just as I thought that I'd seen the light I still have to find what's mine Hope: Oh, those are so hot! Maybe you'll see my name in lights maybe it's love, but I don't mind maybe we're far but you're never far from my mind maybe you'll see my name in lights maybe it's love, but I don't mind maybe we're far but you're never far from my mind maybe it's time maybe I'm crazy but I need to find something that's gonna be all mi-I-I-I-ne maybe you'll see my name in lights maybe it's love, but I don't mind maybe we're far but you're never far from my mind maybe you'll see my name in lights Hope: Are you okay?! Don't hit me. Don't hit me. Are you okay? Why does everything have to be a competition between the two of you? Wyatt: What?! I won! Liam: Oh, just go, Wyatt! Just -- just go! Ugh. Wyatt: What do you think, hope? Do you want me to leave? Donna: So technically you're still C.E.O. And you still have primary custody of will. Katie: Yes. Donna: Good. And does bill know that Brooke switched the papers? Katie: Oh, I bet he knows by now. I'm sure he ran right over to Brooke's. Donna: Well, do you think it's gonna change the way he feels about Brooke? Katie: I doubt it. I'm sure he's still madly in love. But I do think that he will try to manipulate her into forgiving him. Donna: [Scoffs] Well, she won't. Katie: [Sighs] Donna: Will she? Katie: I stopped trying to predict what Brooke will do a long time ago. Bill: I realize I went too far. Brooke: You have problems, bill. Deep, dark issues. Bill: Yeah, well, tell me something I don't already know. I am a driven, obsessive person. That's how I became so successful. Brooke: You went way too far this time. Bill: I was impulsive. I zeroed in on what I wanted, and I lost all common sense. Brooke: Don't you ever stop to consider how your actions affect others? Bill: [Sighs] I was just focused on accomplishing the goal, and I didn't consider the consequences. Brooke: You really didn't think I'd be upset, did you? That you betrayed Katie. Bill: I was out of sorts before the climb. And then I took the fall, and it had a... profound effect on me and my judgment. I'm sorry for any pain I caused. Especially to you. Brooke: It doesn't change what you did. You've gone above and beyond this time -- more so than usual. And that's nothing new. I mean, you've actually done this kind of thing before. Bill: It's the yin and yang of being me. It's made me a lot of money. And landed me in the doghouse more times than I care to admit. Brooke: Well, you're gonna have to stop. Otherwise you're going to end up alone and with nothing. Bill: I screwed up. What I did was wrong. I realize that now. Don't do this, Brooke. Don't give up on us. I need you to forgive me.
