In bed again, Wyatt tells Sally that he will not settle for anything less than his Dad helping her with her future if he is to return to Spencer. Bill is all about preaching about family so now they can find out if he means it. He says his dad used every dirty trick in the book against Sally and Bill owes her. Those are his conditions. She can give it back to the best of them .no damsel in distress. Hope tells Liam that having two little babies is a lot to care for and she would feel better if Liam would go help Steffy. He would rather stay home with Hope but she insists. Bill is delighted at all of Will's answers to his money questions. Will tells him it feels good for Bill to come over during the day and spending time with him. Katie chimes in too that it felt good and she assures Bill the two of them will be okay without Thorne. Justin flirts a little with Donna and says they had something once in the springtime and they have a great son to prove that, he's become a good man. And now that she is living with Katie and considering that Bill is his best friend... well only friend... they could be spending a lot more time together and that is a perk. Liam and Hope are still discussing his going to help Steffy when Brooke knocks on the cabin door with some food. Hope takes that moment to tell Liam again that she will be fine and he needs to be with his girls. And Steffy can use it, suddenly both babies are crying and she is up to her frazzled eyebrows trying to get dinner, fold more laundry and now make their formula. Wyatt tells Sally that he is going to see his dad today. No Spectra Fashions then no Wyatt at Spencer. Hope tries to explain to Brooke that Liam's girls need him more and that is what it comes down to; not Liam sitting here babysitting her. Liam arrives just in time to save Steffy and she tells him how good he is with both Kelly and Phoebe. Liam says that is what Hope wants, for him to be there for all of them. Donna brings up the subject of Katie and Bill and Katie assures her there is no Bill, so she and Justin can get that out of their heads. Bill is tickled when Wyatt tells him he will accept the challenge to come back to Spencer. Bill gives him a big bear hug. Then Wyatt says there is a catch. Bill says name it, more money, title, whatever he wants. Wyatt says he only wants justice. Justice for the woman he is with. He wants Bill to revive Spectra Fashions. Hope turns on Brooke and says both girls need Liam and she should be happier with her husband but she is not. She is miserable. Brooke tells her that Liam is father to only one of those girls, not both. He can visit and help out but Hope has no reason to want him to move in there. But again Hope says he is so good with both of the girls and they deserve his care. Hope is an adult but they are babies and he needs to be with them.
Sally: Is this crazy? Wyatt: Well, I don't know. What do you have in mind? Sally: Not that. Wyatt: What? Oh. Sally: No, to think that there actually might be a chance that spectra fashions might literally rise from the ashes, all thanks to you? Wyatt: [ Chuckles ] Well, uh, yeah, those are my terms. You know, if dad wants me back at spencer, well, he's got to make amends for what he did to your company and everything he put you through. Because we're a package deal. Bill: All right, you're never gonna get this one. He'll never get this one. You ready? Will: Ready. Bill: Benjamin franklin's portrait's on the $100 bill. Will: Come on, dad. Everybody knows that. Katie: [ Laughs ] Bill: Everybody knows that, right? Okay, smart guy, how about this one? Whose portrait is on the $100,000 currency note? Will: Woodrow wilson. But high-denomination bills like the $10,000 and $100,000 were discontinued by the federal reserve in 1969 due to lack of use. Bill: I cannot even tell you how much this warms my heart. Katie: [ Giggles ] Bill: This is amazing! What kind of freak are you? I mean, justin didn't even get that right. Will: I'm really glad you're here, dad. Bill: Me, too, buddy. With my family. Where else would I want to be? Liam: Well, that was pam. The second time today. Hope: Did I forget a meeting? Liam: No, she -- she's just.... Hope: Concerned that I'm shirking my responsibilities at forrester. Liam: No. She cares about you. That's it. Hope: I know, I'm sorry. Liam: Hey, um... why don't we drive down to the beach, take a little walk, clear our heads? Hope: I don't -- I, uh -- I actually have a better idea. As much as I appreciate your love and support, there's someone that needs you more, and that -- actually, two someones. You should go be with phoebe and kelly. Liam: Hope, I can see the girls another time. It doesn't have to be today. And, besides, I'm pretty sure steffy has it under control. Hope: Oh, I'm not saying she doesn't, but caring for two infants is exhausting, and I'm pretty sure she'd appreciate a break. And, besides, you should be there, with phoebe and kelly. Liam: I want to be here with you. Hope: You have been here. Every moment of every day since beth -- you have another daughter to think about, too, and now that phoebe is a part of the family... Liam: Hope, come on. Hope: Liam, no. I would feel better knowing I'm not keeping you from them. Liam: You're not. Hope: It feels like I am. Liam, please, just go spend time with the girls. Tell them how much you love them and how much that you just appreciate them as family. Steffy: [ Crying ] Say hi. Liam: Hi. Steffy: Say hi to your daddy! Liam: She's so incredible! Steffy: I know! [ Cries ] Sally: So, we're a package deal, huh? Wyatt: Mm-hmm. Sally: You and me? Wyatt: It's the only way I'm going back to spencer. Sally: Yeah, but an ultimatum like that, to bill spencer, of all people? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your support, but I do not want you to jeopardize your relationship with him or your future at spencer on my behalf. Wyatt: Hey, he's preaching all about family now, right? Well, I would like to believe that. I guess we'll find out. Donna: You know bill better than I do. Justin: Yeah, we definitely go way back. I've seen him at his best and I've seen him at his worst. I don't know, this new and improved dollar bill is definitely bill spencer at his best. Donna: You like him like this. Justin: Eh, sometimes. Some days I do. He's definitely focused on the right things -- his family, his young son. You know, I mean, just think about it, donna. Wouldn't it be great to get this family back together? I mean, despite all the things that have happened and gone wrong. Imagine how happy will would be to see his parents back together again. Donna: [ Sighs ] Bill: A chess club? Katie: Yeah, it was all will's idea. He got six of his friends to sign up. Will: We're already beating the fourth graders at school. Bill: Wow. I am really impressed. Katie: Hey, run upstairs and grab your medal, show daddy. Bill: You won a medal? Will: Be right back. Bill: Huh! When did this chess thing start? Katie: He did a book report on a chess prodigy -- 4 years old -- and after that, he was hooked. Bill: 4 years old? Katie: Yep. Apparently we should have been teaching about rooks and pawns rather than letting him dig in the sandbox. Bill: [ Chuckles ] He's quite a kid, katie. Katie: And he adores you. He depends on you, even more now that, um... Bill: Yeah, that, uh, thorne's gone. Katie: Thank you for coming by and checking on us. I mean, we're gonna be fine, but... I know that it means a lot to will to have a dad who cares as much as you do. Sally: Who says knights in shining armor don't exist anymore? Wyatt: [ Chuckles ] Oh, no, you cannot use a line like that on me. It's not gonna work. Liam is the knight in shining armor. I'm -- I'm the court jester. Besides, you're not exactly a damsel in distress yourself. You -- you can kick butt and take names with the best of them. Sally: [ Inhales sharply ] Maybe, but I was no match for bill spencer. Wyatt: [ Sighs ] Come on. My dad used every dirty trick in the book to bring you and spectra down. It was completely unfair. Sally: Well, for his beloved sky, a steel and chrome monument to his ego, which never got built. Wyatt: He has learned a thing or two since then, right? So... time for him to prove it. Sally: By resurrecting spectra fashions? Wyatt: Yeah. He owes you that. If he wants me at spencer, those are my conditions. Sally: You're incredible. Donna: I never knew you were such an old softie. Justin: Well, don't let that get around. It may ruin my perfectly wicked and justly deserved reputation. Donna: Uh-huh. Yeah, I've never seen that side of you. To me, you'll always be our son's father. Justin: And the man who stole your heart once upon a time. Donna: [ Sighs ] Justin... a lot's happened to both of us since then. Justin: Yeah. Donna: But, to me, your greatest accomplishment will always be marcus and, you know, the man he's becoming. Justin: Yeah. I feel the same way. If I hadn't said it, by the way, I am really happy that you're back. You look great. You know, we had something very special back in the day. And we have a chance to do something special again. Now, you live with katie. I'm bill's most trusted friend. Well, bill's only friend. Donna: [ Sighs ] Justin: We have a chance to reunite a family. Of course, that comes with the perks of spending more time with you, too. Bill: Wow! Look at this thing! That's quite a medal! It's no joke! Katie: And I know that this is gonna come as a complete shock, but he also did very well on his international currency project. Bill: [ Laughing ] Oh! That's why you were picking my brain the other day about different exchange rates. Will: Yep! He even canceled a conference call to finish explaining it to me. It felt good, you know? Bill: Yeah, I do know, buddy. And there's something else i know. It's a promise from me to you, and your mom, that I will never let either one of you down again. [ Babies cooing ] [ Babies crying ] Steffy: Okay. Okay. Okay. Shoot! Okay. [ Crying continues ] [ Sighs ] [ Crying continues ] Oh! [ Sighs ] Hope: Steffy and the girls need you, liam. Liam: Hope, I -- I'm always gonna be there for kelly, and now phoebe. You and I... we're still working through the loss of our own daughter. And, honestly, I think -- I think you need me just as much. [ Knocks on door ] Brooke: Hey, you two! Just thought I'd come down and -- oh, I can come back later. Hope: No. No, your timing's perfect. Look, my mom's here. I'll be fine. Please go spend time with your girls, okay? I don't want to keep you from them. Liam: [ Sighs ] I won't be long. Hope: I know what you're gonna say. Liam has another family, and he should spend as much time as possible with them without feeling worried about me. Brooke: But of course he's worried about you, honey. He loves you. You are important to him. Hope: And they're important to him, too. Brooke: I know. I just think if you keep pushing him towards them... well, I'm concerned where this may lead. Wyatt: Look, I'm gonna go to my dad's today, and I'm gonna make it very clear to him. No spectra fashions, no wyatt spencer. Hope: I'm not pushing liam. He loves being there. Brooke: That's not what i meant. I worry about you being too hard on yourself. And feeling guilt that you're keeping liam away from his daughter, and you're not. Liam wants to be here with you, too. Hope: But those little babies need him more. And that's what it all comes down to. Liam: God, they are so cute, just gurgling and snoring and dreaming happy thoughts like the little babies they are. Steffy: I'll have to admit, your timing was a godsend. Liam: Oh, yeah? Steffy: Yeah, it gets overwhelming sometimes. I mean, two against one. And my mom's a huge help, and amelia's great when she's around. But you have a special bond with kelly. And with phoebe, too. Liam: I mean, hey, you know, I'm here whenever you need me. Steffy: Thank you. But hope needs to be your first priority. Liam: Yeah, well, that's not what hope says. She says I need to be here taking care of kelly and phoebe. Katie: So you were with justin? Donna: Yeah. He asked me to stop by. We had a nice little talk. Katie: About what? Donna: Eh, you know, our son, how proud we are of him. Katie: Mm. Donna: But justin being justin, he had, uh, something else in mind, too. He feels like thorne does, that, um, something could happen between his boss and you. Katie: [ Sighs ] Donna: He thinks that bill should reunite your family. Justin: So, everything went fine at katie's? Bill: Did you think it wouldn't? Justin: Well, no, I'm just applauding you for going over there and spending more time with will and his mom, good job. Bill: How many times do i have to tell you? I'm all about family now. Wyatt: I truly hope you mean that. Bill: You need proof? Wyatt: It's funny you should ask, um, because I'm here to give you an answer to your offer. I'm mildly obsessed with numbers. Katie: I wish justin wouldn't encourage these ideas. Donna: It was thorne's thinking, too. Katie: It doesn't make it true. Donna: So you're denying it could ever happen, that you and bill -- Katie: There is no "bill and me," okay? We -- we are will's parents, that's it. So you and justin should get the idea of a reunion out of your heads. Bill: All right, now, now, just -- just hang on one second, all right? Before you give me your answer, let me make one more pitch. Wyatt: That's not necessary. Bill: Well, it is if you're gonna turn me down. Wyatt: Dad -- Bill: Wyatt, I want you back in this company, all right? Working side by side, father and son. This is gonna be the first step in rebuilding the spencer business dynasty, more important, the spencer family. Wyatt: I get that family is your biggest priority right now, which is why I would like to come back, and -- Bill: Wyatt, what kind of hoops do you want me to jump through? I -- wait a minute. You -- did you say you want to come back? Wyatt: Yeah, but -- Bill: [ Laughs ] This is great! I'm so happy! I'm gonna have justin draw up the paperwork. Wyatt: No, I -- there's one thing that I want first. Bill: What? What? What? I already told you, you get the title, money... Wyatt: No, no, no. The one thing I want is justice. Bill: Justice? Wyatt: For the woman in my life -- sally. I want you to revive spectra fashions. Steffy: Hope's insisting you be here with phoebe and kelly? Liam: Yeah. Yeah. She -- she worries about them like she would worry about her own children. Steffy: [ Sighs ] I'm sorry that she's still having a hard time. Liam: I keep thinking it's gonna get better and better each. And sometimes it does, um, but, you know, losing beth is -- is... Steffy: I know. She was so ready to be a mom. Liam: Yeah, and now her maternal instincts are just kicking in, I guess, which just makes it even sadder that she doesn't have her own daughter to love and protect. Which is why she's looking out for kelly and phoebe. Brooke: Honey, you're still in a fragile state, and it's sweet of you to think of kelly and phoebe like that, but they're fine. They're thriving. You need to think about yourself and your healing. Focus on you and liam and your future and the family that you're going to share someday. Hope: I don't think we'll ever have a family. Brooke: Oh, honey, please, don't say that. Hope: I've already lost two children, mom. Brooke: I know you have, and I know that you still feel a lot of pain, but you have to try to get past that negativity. You will have a child someday. You and liam will have the family that you want. Hope: I'm not sure I want that anymore! [ Scoffs ] Not if it means having to go through this kind of heartbreak again, mom. Can't you see? I'm miserable. And being with my husband should comfort me, but it doesn'T. It's just the opposite. All I feel is guilty for depriving those little girls. They need liam. Brooke: Honey, liam is the father to one of those girls, not two. He's the father to kelly, not phoebe. So, please, do not heap all of this guilt on yourself. Hope: How can I not be? I'm keeping him from his family. And I'm an adult, I'll be fine, but those little girls, they are innocent children. They need him. And how can I -- how can I keep him from them? His place is with phoebe and kelly. That is where liam belongs.
