Bill: You've kept me for observation long enough. I'm perfectly fine. Come on, doc. I'm going stir-crazy in here. Justin: Doc, I'll make sure he takes it easy. I'll ban him from the building if necessary. Dr. Chester: I hope you realize you're a very lucky man, mr. Spencer. That fall could have ended your life. Bill: Believe me, I'm humbled. Dr. Chester: I'll get the paperwork started. Bill: Heh. [ Sighs ] Justin: Looks like you dodged another bullet. Bill: Tells me there's a reason I'm still here. Brooke: They're releasing bill today. Ridge: How do you know that? Brooke: I called the hospital. Ridge: Why? Brooke: Because I'm glad that he's okay. And I'm grateful that he didn't press charges against you and thorne. And you should be, too. Ridge: There was no reason to have thorne arrested or have me arrested. He threw the first punch. Brooke: I'm just gonna be grateful. Is that all right? Ridge: Sure. You spent quite a bit of time in bill's hospital room. What'd he say to you? Pam: Over the last few years, I've just let quinn lull me into a kind of acceptance. I should never have ignored my original instincts. She's horrible, charlie. No. She is an awful person. It's an insult to stephanie's name that she calls herself mrs. Eric forrester. Charlie: Right, but, y-you know, I thought we'd accepted that. You know, knowing that quinn isn't going anywhere. Pam: A person can only hide their true nature for so long. The old quinn is coming back. She's re-emerging. And that woman is heartless. Eric: You look slightly dangerous. Quinn: Well, then, it's working. I'm just trying on part of my costume for the charity event tonight. What do you think? Eric: Like I'm in for some toil and trouble. Quinn: You're still upset with me. Eric: Quinn, you still manage to surprise me from time to time. Quinn: [ Sighs ] Isn't that a good thing? Eric: No, not always. Quinn: I didn't deliberately damage stephanie's portrait. It was an accident. And I feel really badly about it. [ Sighs ] You believe me, don't you? Quinn: Eric, I would never deliberately damage stephanie's portrait. I know how much it means to you. I hold stephanie'S... legacy in the highest regard. And damaging that portrait was -- it was a freak accident. You have to believe me. Eric: I do. Quinn: Thank you. Eric: No, but there's another part of all this that I wish that you and I could agree on. I just wish you could be a little more patient and understanding where pam is concerned. Pam: I really had my heart set on having steph's portrait over the mantel, looking down on us, giving us her blessing. The closest thing really to having her there. Now it's all ruined. [ Quinn yells ] Pam: Oh, no! Quinn! No! I wonder how long she's been wanting to obliterate the last trace of my sister? Quinn is evil, charlie. Justin: Ah, your, uh -- your necklace. Don't tell me the hospital lost it? Bill: It's okay. Justin: It's not okay. I know what that thing means to you. You never take it off. Bill: It's okay, justin. I had brooke take it off. Justin: Why? Bill: Why? Because it just doesn't work for me anymore. All right? Years ago, I -- I started wearing it as some sort of, I don't know... symbolic representation of protection against my father, and... and as time went on, it just reminded me to fight, and to be a warrior. I don't want to be that guy anymore. I don't want to be a guy who fights so hard for his pride that he alienates everyone that he loves. I've made so many damn mistakes. I don't want to make those mistakes anymore. [ Sighs ] I want to get it right for a change. Ridge: I know what happened in that hospital room. He proposed a deal, right? Brooke: Can't we just be happy that you and thorne weren't arrested for attempted murder? Ridge: I think he agreed not to press charges against thorne or me... in exchange for you. Am I right? Quinn: I know pam means a lot to you. She's stephanie's sister. But she hates me. She disrespects me every single chance she gets. Eric: Now, co-- that's simply not true. Quinn: And now you want me to open my home to her. And -- and not just allow pam to get married here, but to usurp my position in this household. Yes, stephanie used to be the forrester matriarch. But that's my title now. And my portrait is to hang above that fireplace. For pam to ask you to take it down is so disrespectful to me. Eric: It's just for a few hours. Quinn... Quinn: [ Sighs ] Eric: You're a compassionate person. Can you note find some compassion in your heart for pam? She's lost almost everyone. She's lost her mother, she lost her sister. She even lost her dog. And now -- and now she and charlie are embarking on this new life together... [ Quinn sighs ] ...And she wants to -- she wants to have this wedding here, in a space where she feels safe and loved. Can't we just give her that? Pam: Being married at eric's means something to me. It's my sister's home, where she lived and loved and raised her family -- the family that then became my family, too. Charlie: Well -- Pam: The forresters have been so good to me, charlie. I could totally rely on them when I lost mom, and then steph. [ Sighs ] Charlie: You -- you know, you've talked about losing stephanie, but you've rarely talked about losing your mom. I don't know, I'D... really like to hear about it. I mean, if -- if you want to tell me. Bill: You know, justin, thinking back, I should have let liam have the company. Taken brooke around the world on the stella maris. Think how different things might have been. Justin: Would have avoided a lot of grief, that's for sure. Bill: Well, I'll know better next time. Justin: "Next time"? Bill: Oh, brooke and I aren't done. Not by a long shot. Brooke: It's not the way you're making it sound. Ridge: No? Brooke: No. Ridge: The guy almost dies, and he still can't leave you alone. When is that jackass gonna learn? Brooke: Bill has changed. Ridge: Has he? You know, the last time I heard that, he was shot in the back. You know what he did? He ended up pursuing his son's pregnant wife. Brooke: I'm not making excuses for him. Ridge: Well, I'm glad to hear that. 'Cause I would hate for this accident to bring you guys closer together. Where's that necklace? You still have it? Brooke: Yeah. It's in my purse. Ridge: In here? Oh, there it is. Brooke: Ridge, what are you doing? Brooke: Ridge! I can't believe you did that! Ridge: I just had to put that tiny sword out of its misery. You think he's changed? He hasn't changed at all. He's the same guy. And the fact that he gave you that just shows how he wants to manipulate you. Brooke: Bill has lost a lot. And it's nobody's fault but his own. But you know what? He's not being all bitter about it. He's trying to learn, and to grow from it. And for that, I think he should be commended. Ridge: He knows exactly who you are. You're kind and sweet, and you see the best in everybody, including him. I'm not gonna let spencer user our marriage as a speed bump back to you. Okay? Quinn: You know what I hate? That look in your eyes when you're disappointed in me. [ Sighs ] Look, I feel very strongly about this, and I know you do, too. But I fell in love with your big, compassionate heart. And I don't want to fight with you. I don't even want to... passionately argue with you. So if this is that important to you, then... it's fine. You can have pam get married here. Eric: Yeah? Is that right? Quinn: It's a day. I'll survive. Eric: Thank you. It means a lot to me. Quinn: [ Sighs ] I hope you know that your concerns have been heard by me. And I hope you know how -- how big a part you are of this family. And no portrait or anything else is ever gonna change that. Quinn: [ Sighs ] Charlie: You know, sweetheart, you -- you've been so open with me in almost everything, and... but in all the time we've been together, you've rarely mentioned your mom's death. Is it, you know, just too painful? Pam: I mean, I guess the loss is, but... the actual passing was really quite beautiful. It was peaceful. Just the way mom wanted it. Ann: [ Inhales deeply ] [ Inhaling deeply ] Pam: Mom? Ann: Good girls. [ Sighs ] Pam: Don't leave us, mom. Ann: Sit up straight, pammy. [ Waves crashing ] Stephanie: It's okay. You can go. Pam: Mom... The water is wide I can't cross o'er and neither have i wings to fly give me a boat that can carry two and we shall sail, my love and I well, love is generous Pam: We did it. And love is kind and love's a flower when first it's new but love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like morning dew give me a boat that can carry two and we shall sail, my love and I Pam: [ Crying ] Charlie: Look, you lost the two most important people in your life. Your mom and your sister. And I know that you've felt alone. But you're not now. I'm -- I'm here. And I will be the one you can rely on. I will be the one that will be here to validate you, and to remind you every single day what an amazing person you are. I am -- am so happy and grateful that you agreed to be my wife. I love you so much, pammy. [ Sniffles ] Pam: Thank you, charlie. Thanks for giving me my courage back. Charlie: Sure. Your insurance company won't replace [ Door opens ] Quinn: Is ringing the doorbell really too much to ask? What if eric and I were in the middle of an intimate moment? Pam: [ Scoffs ] With you in that scary outfit? That's a picture I really don't need in my head. Quinn: [ Sighs ] What do you want, pam? Pam: [ Sighs ] You're not a nice person, quinn. A nice person wouldn't deliberately destroy a portrait of the woman who was matriarch of this family long before anyone ever heard of you. Quinn: I don't really want to have this conversation with you. Pam: Well, it doesn't really end here. See, I am getting that portrait restored, and then I'm personally taking yours down and putting it in the closet under the stairs where it belongs, and reinstating my beloved sister in her rightful place. After which I am getting married in a long ceremony right here in her home, and there's nothing you can do about it. That's all I have to say. Quinn: Great. Why don't you put a sock in it, all right, pam? I already had this conversation with eric. You can have your damn wedding here. Pam: What did you just say? Quinn: Oh, I'm sorry. You're deaf now? Okay. [ Shouting ] You can have your damn wedding in my house! [ Imitating pam ] "Oh, thank you so much, quinn! That's so nice of you!" I mean, really, is that a lot to ask? Pam: This will be the first time I'm ever saying my vows. The first time I will ever be a bride. And you call it my "damn wedding"?! Quinn: [ Sighs loudly ] Bill: All right, you know, this is ridiculous already. I'm gonna go release myself and walk the --& Justin: Hey, hey. Relax. Relax, all right? I'll go speed things along. Bill: Thanks. Forrester. Ridge: Came to check on you. This new, shiny, improved version of bill spencer. Bill: And you want to thank me again for not pressing charges against you and thorne. Ridge: I came to share my truth with you. Bill: I'm all about it. You know, the truth will set you free, brother. Lay it on me. Ridge: [ Chuckles ] So, let me ask you something. You not pressing charges against me, thorne, and those -- those big speeches you gave to katie, liam, and wyatt, then taking off that ridiculous necklace, that's all part of you becoming the better person, is that right? Bill: What you see is what you get. Ridge: Yeah. And what I see is that same man behind the curtain who's pulling all the strings. Taking advantage of people. Anyway. My truth. My truth is that brooke is my wife. Not available to you. Not now, not ever. So do me a favor -- stay away from her.
